Public Meeting
a)
Z-18/08 - Concession 7, Part Lot 16, Storrington District - 1994 Sunbury Road
- Purdon & Pilon The purpose of this application is to rezone the subject property as a condition of consent application S-03-18-S. Consent application S-03-18-S was for the creation of one new lot with frontage along Dog Lake and accessed by Sunbury Road. A condition of provisional consent was to rezone the severed lands of the property to recognize the enhanced waterbody setback recommended by the Rideau Waterway Development Review Team. Rezoning the property from RU to RW will also limit the permitted uses on the property to those that are compatible with smaller lot sizes along the waterfront. There were no comments from Council or the public on this application.
b)
Z-18/09 - Concession 14, Part Lot 25, Loughborough District - 7656 Perth Road - Kolodziejcak The purpose of this application is to rezone the subject property as a condition of consent application S-12-18-L. Consent application S-12-18-L was for the separation and reconfiguration of two lots that merged on title under Section
Committee of the Whole September 11, 2018 50(3) of the Planning Act. Rezoning the property will recognize the deficiency in waterfrontage along Buck Lake and area for the severed lot and the deficiency in area for the retained rural lot. Councillor Sutherland asked if under this zoning, could the owners operate a tent and trailer park. Ms. Reuckwald confirmed that this would not be a permitted use. Megan Reuckwald circulated a copy of two emails received, one from Joe Vankoughnett, 1024 Over the Hill Lane and one from Scott Hicks, 3037 Hilltop Lane, that outlined their concerns regarding the rezoning. (A copy of the emails will be attached to the report for the rezoning). Ms. Reuckwald confirmed that the new zoning will not permit a tent and trailer park. Kasha Kolodziejcak, 1050 Over the Hill Lane, confirmed that the intended use is strictly residential, for family use only. They may, on occasion put up a tent when family visits from out of the area and felt this would not be an unusual use. Joe Vankoughnett, 1024 Over The Hill Lane, asked for a listing of the permitted uses. Ms. Reuckwald will forward a copy of the zoning to Mr. Vankoughnett. c)
Z-18/10 - Concession 1, Part Lot 19, Storrington District - 3832 Davidson Road
- Campbell The applicant is to rezone the subject property from UC-22 to UC-X to expand the permitted uses on the property to include an automobile service station in the existing garage structure on the subject property. Councillor Barbeau asked why the permitted uses do not include a gasoline service station. Megan Reuckwald explained that the site is not necessarily suited for this purpose and it was not applied for in the rezoning. Councillor Revill questioned the location of the access doors on the structure. The Planner confirmed that access to the building is on the north and west sides. Councillor Sleeth asked if the layout will remain the same and it was confirmed by the Planner that the existing layout will be maintained. Mayor Vandewal asked if a body shop was included in the permitted uses and the Planner confirmed that it was not. Richard Russell, 3821 Davidson Road, indicated he has no problem with the existing structure or the work going on there but was concerned about electronic signage that may affect is own property. He approved of the lettered signage on the side of the building. The Planner indicated that the Public Works Department has drafted some guidelines with respect to the signage. Darren Frasso, who currently is operating the auto shop, confirmed that signage will be out at the corner of the property and he has no intention of installing bright electronic signage.
