    Carried

There were no declarations of pecuniary interest disclosed.

The Chair stated that, as required under the Planning Act, a public meeting is being held prior to the City of Kawartha Lakes Council making decisions on the following planning matters.

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. Harding confirmed that the required notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act and circulated to each owner of land within 500 metres, and that a sign was posted on the subject property. He summarized the application, stating that Official Plan Amendment (OPA) application D01-2018-003 and Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBLA) application D06-2018-011 were previously approved by Council in 2018 in order to facilitate a consent. Through the processing of the consent file it was determined that the rear lot line of the proposed severed lot needed to be placed in a different location than what was proposed in the ZBLA application. He further explained that this application proposes to reflect the new lot line boundary and accommodate the request to retain the existing barn on the proposed retained agricultural lands. The application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and the Kawartha Lakes Official Plan. Mr. Harding 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 Enbridge with no concerns, and from Paula and Jim Richardson of 376 Ranch Road with a request to keep livestock at a distance from their property. Staff are recommending that the application be referred to Council for approval.

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

Asklyn Kennedy of EcoVue Consulting spoke to the application stating that the Planner provided a good overview of the application and she made herself available for any questions from Committee members.

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

No other persons spoke to the application.

The Public Meeting concluded at 1:07pm.
