The Chair requested staff to advise on the manner of giving notice for the proposed Zoning and Official Plan Amendments. He also asked staff to briefly describe the proposal and summarize the correspondence, if any, received to date.

Staff are recommending these applications be referred back to staff until such time as all outstanding comments have been received. Mr. LaHay and Director Marshall responded to questions from Committee members.

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

Kevin DuGuay of Community Planning and Consulting Inc. spoke on behalf of the applicant. He thanked Mr. LaHay for the production of the report, and stated that the outstanding concerns are only minor in nature. He referred to Ministry of Transportation requirements being provided at the original preconsultation meeting. He suggested that the estimated volume of traffic would be limited to 3 trips per year per vehicle stored on the property, and did not anticipate the Ministry of Transportation requiring a full traffic study. He stated that consideration for paving a portion of the driveway would be given through the site plan process, which he stated the applicant is willing to work through. Mr. DuGuay stated that his preference is that the proposed by-laws be put forward for adoption to Council, and any outstanding issues, be dealt with in the site plan process, as he believed this application represented an appropriate use for this impressive and well-maintained facility. He responded to questions from Committee members.

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

Mr. LaHay stated that these applications were put forward to a public meeting at the March 8, 2017 Planning Committee Meeting, and notice was given for the applications in accordance with the Planning Act.

(0.89 ac.) portion of the subject land from the Rural designation and the Agricultural (A1) Zone to Waterfront designation with a Special Area Policy and to Limited Service Residential Exception Eleven (LSR)-11) Zone to facilitate a future consent for a lot addition. The official plan and zoning change would permit the severance of a portion of the subject land to be consolidated with a waterfront property identified as 65 Potts Shore Road. The proposed zoning of the land to be severed will not permit a dwelling and will only permit an accessory building (i.e. garage) to a dwelling on 65 Potts Shore Road. Outstanding comments were received from Kawartha Conservation who had no concerns with the application provided the recommendations outlined in Section 5.0 of the Environmental Impact Study are adhered to. The applications conform to the Growth Plan and are consistent with the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement. Staff are recommending that the applications be put forward to Council for approval.
