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

PLAN2017-065

Mark LaHay, Planner II
Applications for Zoning By-law Amendment together with a Draft Plan of Subdivision and Draft Plan of Condominium to permit 7 lots for single detached dwellings fronting on Lakewood Crescent and 24 semi-detached and 2 single detached units fronting on a common elements condominium road accessed from Lakewood Crescent, former Village of Bobcaygeon, now City of Kawartha Lakes (Frederick G. Reynolds Holdings Inc.)

The Chair requested staff to advise on the manner of giving notice for the proposed applications.  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 120m and a sign was posted on the subject property.  He summarized the application, explaining that it proposes to permit a residential plan of subdivision consisting of 7 lots for single detached dwellings with frontage on Lakewood Crescent, and one block for the residential condominium plan consisting of 24 semi-detached and 2 single detached units fronting onto a common elements condominium road accessed from Lakewood Crescent.  As the subject land is zoned General Industrial (M2), an amendment to the Zoning By-law is necessary to permit the proposed residential use with the site specific zone provisions, along with a plan of subdivision and a plan of condominium. The application appears to conform to the Growth Plan and applicable Official Plans, and appears to be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. Mr. LaHay 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 Hydro One who had no concerns with the application. He noted that comments are still outstanding from Kawartha Conservation, as well as City Building and Engineering staff.  He and Mr. Holy responded to questions from Committee members.

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

T.J Cieciura, of Design Plan Services Inc, spoke on behalf of the owner, noting that he agrees with the conclusions of the Planning staff, and noted that the application adheres to appropriate Provincial and City Policies. He responded to questions put forward by the members of the Committee.

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

No other persons spoke to the application.

Applications for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment together with a Draft Plan of Subdivision to permit 8 lots for single detached dwellings on the east side of an extension to O’Reilly Lane, Geographic Township of Ops, now City of Kawartha Lakes (2042825 ONTARIO INC.)

Mr. Walker introduced the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application by noting that it proposed to develop a 6.5 ha. shoreline residential plan of subdivision consisting of an extension to the municipal road known as O’Reilly Lane; 8 residential lots for single detached dwellings; and 4 blocks: 1 block to recognize an existing burial plot; 1 block for drainage purposes; and 2 blocks for 0.3 m. reserves along the west and north side of the proposed municipal road. A Public Meeting was held on November 9, 2016 where members of the public brought forward concerns about construction traffic and damage to the road. He noted the amendments are required to permit the reduced lot frontage, and to apply a 30m water setback to prevent building along the river. Staff are recommending that a holding provision be placed on all lots until such time that a secured subdivision agreement is executed.
