David Harding, Planner II

3.1.1

Public Meeting

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, explaining that it proposes to sever a farmhouse on approximately 0.81 hectares of land deemed surplus to the needs of the farming operation because of the consolidation of farmland and consolidate approximately 51.87 hectares of retained agricultural land with a non-abutting agricultural lot. As a condition of provisional consent, the retained agricultural land is to be rezoned to prohibit residential use. 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 noting no concerns with the application. Staff are recommending that the application be forwarded to Council for approval. Mr. Harding and Mr. Holy responded to questions from Committee members.

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

Hugh Stewart of Clark Consulting Services spoke as the applicant on behalf of the owner, and he thanked Mr. Harding for the report, and made himself available for any questions from the members of the Committee.

3.2.1

Public Meeting

The Chair requested staff to advise on the manner of giving notice for the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments. 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 500 metres, and that a sign was posted on the subject property. He summarized the application, explaining that it proposes to amend the ‘Prime Agricultural’ designation with a site specific policy to permit a meeting house and to amend the Agricultural Exception Twenty (A-20) Zone to an Agricultural Exception (A-**) Zone on the southeast portion of the subject land to permit a meeting house for a place of worship and gathering for the Mennonite community. The proposed rezoning would also include site specific development standards related to parking and a reduction of loading requirements. The application is being further reviewed for consistency with the Provincial Policy Statement, as well as conformity to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and the Kawartha Lakes Official Plan. Mr. LaHay summarized the comments received to date, as detailed in his report, noting that subsequent to the writing of the report additional comments had not been received from all reporting City Departments and commenting agencies including HKPR Health Unit, and Kawartha Conservation. Staff are recommending that the application be referred back to staff until such time as comments have been received from all circulated agencies and City Departments, and that any comments and concerns have been addressed. He responded to questions from Committee members.

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

Emma Drake of DM Wills spoke as the applicant on behalf of the owners. She noted that the application will apply to 1.66 acres of the land, and that no mature trees would be removed to allow the 3100 sq. ft. meeting house on the property. She noted that due to the anticipated use, site specific parking proposals were required to address horse drawn transportation on site. Ms. Drake also stated that a privy is anticipated to service the site, however an area on the site has been identified for a private sewage system if required in the future. She stated that it was her professional opinion that the proposal conformed to the Provincial Policy Statement, and there would be no conflict to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe as this use would support a key segment of the agricultural property. In conclusion she stated that they would like to see this application be forwarded to Council for approval. Ms. Drake and Mr. LaHay 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 1:35p.m.
