Public Meeting

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.

3.1

PLAN2020-001

Janet Wong, Planner II
An application to amend the Township of Emily Zoning By-law 1996-30 on land described as Part Lot 6, Concession 10, identified as 305 St. Luke’s Road – Carroll

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.

Ms. Wong confirmed that the required notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act and circulated to each owner of land within 500 metres, and a sign was posted on the subject property.  She summarized the application, explaining that it proposes to change the zone category on the retained lands from the Agricultural (A1) Zone to Environmental Protection (EP) Zone to preclude development within significant woodlands and to an Agricultural Exception Thirty Three (A1-33) Zone to recognize a reduced lot area and reduced lot frontage over the balance of the retained A1 Zone lands. It also proposed to change the zoning on the severed lands from the A1 Zone to an EP Zone to restrict development from the significant woodlands and buffer, as well as to a Hamlet Residential Zone-Exception One (HR-1) Zone to not require yard or setbacks from the EP Zone boundary. The application is consistent with the 2017 Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the 2019 Growth Plan and the Kawartha Lakes Official Plan.  Ms. Wong summarized the comments received to date, as detailed in her report, noting that subsequent to the writing of the report additional comments were received from the City's Development Engineering Division with no objection. It was also noted that the Public Notice did not identify that the retained lands would not meet the minimum lot frontage requirement. This could be considered a minor change, thus no further notification would be required under the Planning Act. Staff are recommending that the application be forwarded to Council for approval.

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

Ken Hurford of EcoVue Consulting spoke as the applicant, and stated that they support and are satisfied with the staff report. He made himself available for questions from the 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 1:15pm.
