Draft Plan of Subdivision at Vacant Land on Kawartha Lakes Road 36, Ops – Flato Community Lindsay Inc.
Ian Walker, Planning Officer - Large Developments

3.1.1
Public Meeting

 

The Chair requested staff to advise on the manner of giving notice for the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision. 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 120 metres, and that a sign was posted on the subject property. Mr. Walker outlined that the sign must be posted on the property for fourteen days and technical issues lead to the sign being posted for thirteen days. Notwithstanding, the Planning Advisory Committee can determine that the requirements for the notice of the public meeting have been satisfied, as the intent of the notification has been met. He summarized the application, explaining that it proposes to permit an 84 unit two storey townhouse development. The draft plan of subdivision will create the blocks, which will divide into townhouse lots by using the Part Lot Control provision of the Planning Act. This allows the townhouse lots to be sold separately without requiring consent applications to create each lot. The application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and is subject to a Minister's Zoning Order. 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 Economic Development Officer - Heritage Planning and the Building Division with no concerns being raised. Staff are recommending that the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision application be referred back to staff for further review and processing until such time as all comments and concerns have been received and addressed. He responded to questions from Committee members.

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

Matthew Cory, of Malone, Given, Parsons Ltd. provided an overview of the application. Mr. Cory provided detail regarding the layout of the development and how the storm water management pond is being formatted to account for the future development of the surrounding lands.  Mr. Cory also outlined that they have also received a request to provide walking access to I.E. Weldon Secondary School and that although they are open to that addition approval would be required from the Trillium Lakelands District School Board.

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

No other persons spoke to the application.

He summarized the application, explaining that it proposes to amend the Official Plan to facilitate a severance of the described single detached dwelling and detached accessory building . 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. Derworiz summarized the comments received to date, as detailed in his report, noting that subsequent to the writing of the report staff received two additional telephone inquiries asking for clarification surrounding the nature of the application. Comments were also received from the City's Economic Development Officer for Agriculture, outlining that the application is not supported because the lands could be used for agricultural purposes.  The report was drafted to recommend that the application be referred back to staff until all technical and agency reviews are complete and comments addressed, however, staff would accept a recommendation from the Committee should they determine that it is more appropriate for the application to be approved. He responded to questions from Committee members.

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

Beverly Saunders, of EcoVue Consulting, spoke on behalf the property owner. Ms. Saunders provided an overview of the application and outlined that the lands involved in this application are not used for agricultural purposes.
