a) File #Z02/23 - Part of Lot 20, Concession 7, Geographic Township of Barrie - Recreational Commercial to Rural Dmitry Kurylovich, County Planner, provided an overview of the Zoning By-law Amendment application. He advised the rezoning of the subject property from Recreational Commercial (RC) to Rural was required as a condition of a severance approved in 2022.

Kurylovich noted the proposed new lot is located within 300 metres of an At-Capacity Lake Trout Lake. He advised no new lots can be created unless the septic system to service the lot is located outside the 300 metre setback or the system is located in an area that drains away from the lake. Kurylovich advised County Planning staff worked with the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) to identify a suitable location for a septic system, on the west side of the proposed lot.

Kurylovich advised planning staff received no objections regarding the severance application from MECP, South Frontenac (as septic approval authority) or Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA). He recommended approval of the Zoning By-law Amendment application.

There were no public comments regarding the application.
