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.

An application to amend the Township of Verulam Zoning By-law 6-87 to permit the additional uses of a single detached dwelling, restaurant, take-out restaurant and contractor’s yard at 2071 CKL Road 36 (Bryans Family Camping)
David Harding, Planner II

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 500m, and a sign was posted the subject property. He summarized the application, explaining that it proposes to permit a year-round restaurant (with a take-out component), a contractor’s yard, and a single detached dwelling. The application appears to conform to the Growth Plan and appears to be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.  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 the Kawartha Region Conservation Authority (KRCA) expressing concerns with the location of structures and their ingress/egress within the floodplain. Staff are recommending that the application be referred back to staff to address any issues raised through the public consultation process and for further review and processing until such time that all comments have been received from all circulated agencies and City Departments and that any comments and concerns have been addressed. Mr. Harding, Ms. Sisson, and Mr. Holy responded to questions from Committee members.

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

Doug Carroll of DC Planning Services spoke on behalf of the owner. He stated that they had received the comments from the KRCA, and noted that their comments do not oppose the uses on the land, but rather the possible locations provided on the sketch. He stated that the sketch is conceptual, and that they are aware that no new building or access is permitted to be built on a flood plain. He noted the application’s conformity with the Growth Plan, consistency with the Provincial Policy Statement, and conformity with the Official Plan. He requested that a motion be adopted to draft a zoning by-law and forward it to Council for approval. Mr. Carroll responded to 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 1:20 p.m.

Dorothy Carroll
Joe McColl
Relating to Report PLAN2018-050, Item 7.2 on the Agenda

Dorothy Carroll spoke on behalf of herself and Joe McColl, both residents in the local area. She expressed concern about the high volume of traffic in the area, the increased usage and the dangers of the intersection of Angeline St. and Orchard Park Rd. She noted that a second entrance from Angeline St in the area of Alcorn Dr. would help alleviate congestion in emergency situations, and that a traffic light should be considered at the Orchard Park intersection. She expressed the need for a park in the subdivision, as the former park location was replaced with new building lots and the Storm Water Management Pond cannot be used for parkland. Finally she stated that a sidewalk should be extended along the west side of Angeline St. from David Dr. to the subdivision. She concluded that she thought this would be a really nice place to live if these considerations are adopted.
