Zoning By-law Amendment Applications
a) #Z03/22 - 1406 Gulley Road (Fenwick)
Jennie Kapusta, Community Planner, advised the Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBLA) is to rezone a 155 acre parcel from a split zoning designation (Residential Waterfront and Rural) to a site specific Rural designation. She noted the property is the site of Back 40 Cheese and Jenna Rose Studio.
Kapusta advised the ZBLA will permit the existing uses to continue and allow future uses as the business expands. She noted the Amendment will ensure future uses are captured in the Zoning By-law. She noted there were public comments received prior to the meeting regarding a walking trail towards the rear of the subject property.
Kapusta noted the ZBLA application was provided to Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority for information purposes only, as the development will be located outside the regulated area. She recommended approval of the ZBLA.
Mr. Fenwick advised he spoke with the neighbour who expressed concerns about the walking trail and they reached a mutual agreement.
Public Comments There were no comments from the public.
Council Comments Councillor Fowler advised the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment will help the existing business and that any support will be a benefit.
Resolution #: 146-22 Moved By: Seconded By: Councillor Good Deputy Mayor Martin Be It Resolved That Council receives for information the Zoning By-Law Amendment Application #Z04/22 including: a. Notice of Public Meeting; b. Planning Report; and c. Draft By-law; And That Council will consider the Zoning By-law Amendment at the Regular Council meeting later today. Carried
b) #Z04/22 - 1200 Road 506 (Smith) Kapusta advised the Zoning By-law Amendment Application (ZBLA) will permit the continued use of an existing business with a limited expansion of the Petting Farm. She Page 2 of 4
Township of North Frontenac Public Council Meeting Minutes April 8, 2022 advised there is an existing barn, animal shelters and a canteen on the property; however the restaurant (canteen) will need to be removed if the use of the property as a Petting Farm is discontinued.
Kapusta noted the area of the property does not meet the required area for a hobby farm or agriculture use; however the ZBLA will permit the continued use.
She noted the application was provided to the Conservation Authority for information purposes only; and was not circulated to South Frontenac, as septic approval authority, for comments, as there is no septic system on the property. She recommended approval of the application.
Public Comments There were no comments from the public
Council Comments There were no comments from Council.
Resolution #: 147-22 Moved By: Seconded By: Councillor Good Deputy Mayor Martin
Be It Resolved That Council receives for information the Zoning By-Law Amendment Application #Z04/22 including: a. Notice of Public Meeting; b. Planning Report; and c. Draft By-law; And That Council will consider the Zoning By-law Amendment at the Regular Council meeting later today. Carried
c) #Z05/22 - 1005 Levere Road (1632370 Ontario Inc.) Dmitry Kurylovich, Community Planner, advised the application is to rezone a 1.48 acre parcel at the northwest corner of 1005 Lever Road from Recreational Commercial (RC) to Rural (RU), as a condition of a severance application for a lot addition approved by the Committee of Adjustment on November 29, 2021. The amendment will ensure the benefitting lands and the lot addition have the same zone. A split zone can be problematic. Also, the parcel is not large enough to permit RC uses.
He advised Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) expressed no concerns with the ZBLA; and that the application was not circulated to the septic approval authority, for comments as there is no proposed development or impact on the existing septic system. He recommended approval of the application.
Public Comments There were no comments from the public.
