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.

PLAN2017-052

Ian Walker, Planning Officer - Large Developments
An application to amend the Township of Verulam Zoning By-law to change the zone category from the Open Space (OS) Zone to the Residential Type One (R1) Zone to permit a single detached dwelling and accessory uses for the property identified as Vacant Land on North Bayou Road, Verulam (Boehm)

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. Walker confirmed that the required notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act and circulated to each owner of land within 500m and a sign was posted on the subject property.  He summarized the application, explaining that it proposes to change the zone category from the Open Space (OS) Zone to the Residential Type One (R1) Zone. The intent of the change is to facilitate the construction of a single family dwelling on the lot, that is serviced by a private road. Full conformity to the Growth Plan and consistency with the Provincial Policy Statement will be determined upon full review of this application. 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 the City's Part 8 Sewage Inspector who noted that the proposed septic system is not large enough based off proposed drawings, and the proximity of nearby wells is unknown. He also stated that Kawartha Conservation has not completed a review of the Environmental Impact Study, and their further comments were circulated to the committee. Staff are respectfully requesting further review of this application until such time as all comments and concerns are addressed.  He responded to questions from Committee members.

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

Nolan Drumm, of Ecovue Consulting, made himself available to questions from the committee.

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

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. Walker confirmed that the required notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act and circulated to each owner of land within 120m of the subject property and a sign was posted on the subject property.  He summarized the application, explaining that it proposes to change the zone category from the Future Residential (FR) Zone to the Residential High Rise One Special Nine (RH1-S9) Zone on the eastern portion of this property. The intent of the change is to facilitate the construction of a 90 unit five (5) storey independent senior’s residential apartment building.  Full conformity to the Growth Plan and consistency with the Provincial Policy Statement will be established upon a full review of the application.  Mr. Walker summarized the comments received to date, as detailed in his/her report, noting that subsequent to the writing of the report additional comments were received from an abutting land owner who supported the application.  Mr. Walker and Ms. Sisson responded to questions from Committee members.

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

Kent Randall, of EcoVue Consulting, spoke on behalf of the applicant. He stated that they are very excited to offer this to the community, and they believe it will be a good addition to the housing stock in the area. He noted that a public open house was held at the existing Adelaide Place, and they received a positive response from the neighbourhood. The new building will be in same architectural style as the existing Adelaide Place, and it will be a 5 story building, to account for the grade difference between the 2 developments. He presented renderings of the proposed development. He responded to questions from the members of the committee.

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

No other persons spoke to the application.

PLAN2017-056

Mark LaHay, Planner II
An application to amend the Village of Bobcaygeon Zoning By-law to permit a townhouse dwelling containing four (4) dwelling units for the property identified as 25 Prince Street West, Bobcaygeon (Sweeney)

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. LaHay confirmed that the required notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act and circulated to each owner of land within 120m and a sign was posted on the subject property. He summarized the application, explaining that it proposes to permit a four (4) unit dwelling in a townhouse dwelling format (divided vertically) rather than a fourplex dwelling format (divided horizontally) on this lot. He stated that the existing lot area is of sufficient size to support four townhouse dwelling units without the need to change any zoning provisions other than permitted use to recognize the proposed built form.  The application conforms to the Growth Plan and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.  Mr. LaHay 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 who foresee no issues provided the recommendations contained in the submitted Geotechnical Report are included in the detailed design drawings and the Chippewas of Rama First Nation who noted no concerns on the application. Additional comments were submitted by Ruth Campbell of Bobcaygeon who is in opposition to the application noting concerns with traffic, noise, potential for police activity, loss of historical significance, and decreased property values.  Mr. LaHay and Ms. Sisson responded to questions from Committee members.

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

The applicant, Tom deBoer, who spoke on behalf of the owner,  made himself available to the Committee for any questions.

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

Karen (Campbell) Dudman questioned if the zoning on the lot already permitted a four-unit dwelling, and if other lots in the area also had the same provision.

No other persons spoke to the application.

The public meeting concluded at 1:35 p.m.
