Deputations and/or Presentations
Briefings a)
Mr. Joe Gallivan, Director of Planning and Economic Development provided the Planning Advisory Committee with his regular Directors briefing. Mr. Gallivan paid particular attention to the recent Ontario Municipal Board decision regarding Brougham v. South Frontenac OMB Case: PL 160674, that focused on Non-Conforming Use vs. Non-Complying Structure and the implications that this may have to Frontenac County and all of cottage country. There was some discussion around the wording that the Township used in its By-law did not appear to ensure that the property owner retained the right to re-build on a previously developed lot. There was also concerns expressed on the pressures that this will place on Committees of Adjustment to ensure what can and cannot be allowed. With respect to the expansion of Highway 7 to 4 lanes, it was suggested that staff speak to Renfrew County planning staff and elected officials regarding the exercise that it went through with a similar expansion of Highway 17.
b)
Ms. Megan Rueckwald, Community Planner, provided the Planning Advisory Committee with a briefing on the new Local Planning Appeal Tribunal resulting from the Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017 (Bill 139). It was questioned if the County has the ability to set up its own appeal board which in theory could be an excellent resource although it would be difficult to set up such a process. The key focus here is that municipalities have their policies in place or decisions will default to the Provincial Policy Statement. There was discussion on the conformity/consistency test and the implications for Frontenac County.
