Public Meeting
a)
Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment for a Commercial Development Concession V, Part of Lot 6, Portland District: Kerr Lindsay Mills explained that the purpose of the application is to rezone lands in Part of Lot 6, Concession V in the village of Harrowsmith. The rezoning would permit a commercial meat shop and other commercial uses to be established on a proposed 2.0 acre parcel of land. The Public Works Department requires that the commercial entrance to this lot be directly aligned with Centennial Park Road on the opposite side of Road 38 and that improvements to Road 38 will be required so that traffic flow is not adversely affected. A site plan will be required to establish the location of the new building, septic area, well location and all required parking and loading spaces, access aisles and buffer areas. Councillor Sutherland questioned the provision for a well. Mr. Mills indicated that the well is a requirement under the consent approval process. There were no comments from the public.
b)
Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment for a Secondary Suite - Concession VII, Part of Lot 36, Storrington District: Holland Lindsay Mills explained that the purpose of this rezoning application is to permit a secondary dwelling with its own separate entrance on the subject property. He noted that the Provincial Policy Statement of 2014 encourages the provision of secondary dwellings in existing residences as a form of affordable housing and the Official Plan includes policies for secondary accommodation.
Committee of the Whole March 13, 2018 KFL&A Public Health has no objection to the rezoning on the condition that a new septic system is applied for and installed. Councillor Sutherland was familiar with the property and supportive of the rezoning. Councillor McDougall agreed that this was an excellent opportunity as an alternative to seniors housing. Councillor Schjerning requested clarification on the requirements for the septic system. There were no comments from the public. 7.

Reports Requiring Direction
a)
Proposed Road Closure & Transfer - Concession I, Lots 10 and 11, Bedford District Lindsay Mills reviewed the request to close and transfer ownership of a portion of unopened road allowance between Lots 10 and 11, Concession I and asked for Council’s direction on the request. While Councillor Sutherland supported a licensing agreement instead of the closure of the road allowance, the general consensus of Council was to move forward with the request as they felt this road allowance would not be used as a public road at any time in the future.
