The retained land being consolidated with non-abutting agricultural land. She stated as a provisional consent, the agricultural land to be retained is to be rezoned from "Rural General (A1) Zone" to "Rural General - Special 35 (A1-S35 Zone" to prohibit residential use and to recognize the reduced lot area. The application conforms to the Growth Plan and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.

The Chair requested staff to advise on the manner of giving notice for the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment. He also asked staff to briefly describe the proposal and summarize the correspondence, if any, received to date.

Mr. LaHay confirmed that the required notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act and circulated to each owner of land within 500 m, and a sign was posted on the subject property.

The Official Plan and zoning change would permit the severance of a portion of the subject land to be added to (consolidated with) a waterfront property identified as 65 Potts Shore Road. The proposed zoning of the land to be severed will not permit a dwelling and will only permit an accessory building to a dwelling on 65 Potts Shore Road.

Ian Walker, Planner II
An application to amend the Township of Fenelon Zoning By-law to add a custom metal roofing, siding and supplies business as a permitted use on a portion of the property identified as 1993 Glenarm Road, Fenelon (Brenneman)

The Chair requested staff to advise on the manner of giving notice for the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment. He also asked staff to briefly describe the proposal and summarize the correspondence, if any, received to date.

Mr. Ian Walker confirmed that the required notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act and circulated to each owner of land within 500 m., and a sign was posted on the subject property. He summarized the application, explaining that it proposes to amend the "Agricultural (A1) Zone" to recognize a business as an on-farm diversified use. The intent of the change is to recognize the existing business, and to permit an expansion to that business. The proposed amendment would add this use as an additional use on a specific identified portion of the property in addition to maintaining the existing permitted used in the A1 Zone. The application conforms to the Growth Plan and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement that includes "on-farm diversified uses" as a permitted use in prime agricultural areas. This proposal is compatible with, and does not hinder surrounding agricultural operations. Mr. Walker summarized the comments received to date, as detailed in his report, noting that subsequent to the writing of the report additional comments were received from Kawartha Conservation, Chris Handley, Stew Low, Lindsay Reddings and Dave Low and Kelly Maloney, Agricultural Development Officer for the City.

Mr. Dan Stone, Consultant spoke on behalf of the Applicants. He provided a history of the operation at this location with the current and previous two owners, noting that this has been operating since 2000 and there was a mechanical repair operation prior to 2000. He noted that there is currently a farm operation there as well and that this application supports the Provincial Policy Statement. The amendment puts limitations on the size of the operation for the on-farm diversified use and the land it is to occupy. He stated that this application allows the owners to construct a new building to replace some of the older buildings. He outlined that he analyzed the proposal and it is well within the Provincial Policy Guidelines. Mr. Stone answered questions put forth by Committee members.

The Chair inquired if anyone wished to speak to the application.
