Public Meeting
a)
Public Meeting Statement and Resolution to Open Public Meeting Resolution No. 2020-26-03 Moved by Councillor Barr Seconded by Deputy Mayor Sutherland
Minutes of Council November, 3, 2020 That a public meeting be held to discuss planning matters related to applications for rezoning: • Z-20-07 - Concession 8 Part of Lots 1 and 2, Concession 8, Portland District (Carl & Joan Sortberg) • Z-20-11 - Concessions 8 and 9, Part of Lots 18 and 19, Storrington District (Magenta Waterfront Development Corporation) Carried b)
Zoning By-law Amendment Z-20-07 - Sortberg Christine Woods, Senior Planner explained that the rezoning is a condition of consent applications S-16-20-P and S-17-20-P to create two residential parcels on New Morin Road. Provisional approval of these applications was granted subject to conditions on September 15, 2020. These parcels are required to be rezoned to establish a setback for the sewage systems that will service these two new lots to ensure the sewage systems are located on the properties in such a way that the sewage effluent drains away from Knowlton Lake. The new residential parcels are located on the north side of Vanluven Road and to the west of New Morin Road. Knowlton Lake is located on the east side of New Morin Road. Knowlton Lake is classified as an at-capacity lake trout lake. The RU-59 zone would require a minimum 40 metre setback from the front lot line for any sewage system. This distance reflects a drainage divide between the Wilton Creek watershed and the Knowlton Lake subwatershed. Any sewage systems on the parcels need to be located on land in the Wilton Creek watershed. The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, Cataraqui Conservation and KLFA Public Health had no objections to the approval of the consent applications and therefore no objection to the rezoning. Ms . Woods indicated that this application is consistent with the directions of the Provincial Policy Statement, the County of Frontenac Official Plan, the Township Official Plan and that it represents appropriate planning for the subject lands. Mayor Vandewal questioned a lot created within the last five years and if it has the same zoning of RU -59. Christine Woods indicated that the lot he was referencing was not required to be rezoned to RU-59. There were no other questions from Council or the public.
c)
Zoning By-law Amendment Z-20-11 - Magenta Waterfront Development - Pine Point Lane Christine Woods explained that the subject properties all have frontage on Pine Point Lane, at the end of Carrying Place Road and frontage on Dog Lake. Five of the properties were created through consent approvals in 2014 (files S57-14-S and S-58-14-S and the retained parcel, S-69-14-S and S-70-14-S). The sixth property, north of the road allowance, was a separate parcel. At the time of consent approvals, the zoning on these lands was not changed to reflect the parcel frontages on a private lane. A zoning by-law amendment to change the zone on the subject properties from RU to RLSW is required so that building permits can be issued for buildings

Minutes of Council November, 3, 2020 and structures. Section 5.25 of the Zoning By-law prohibits the erection of buildings and structures in any zone unless the lot fronts onto a public street. Building permits may be issued on a lot with frontage on a private lane and/or a navigable waterway if the lands are zoned RLSW. Cataraqui Conservation and KLF&A Public Health confirmed that they did not need to be circulated the rezoning application. These agencies had no objections to the approval of the 2014 consent applications that resulted in the created the subject properties. They were satisfied at that time that the properties contained building envelopes at least 30 metres from the highwater mark and outside natural hazards, and would be capable of providing flexibility in siting sewage disposal systems. Parks Canada staff indicated on October 19, 2020, that they have no concerns if the 30 metre UNESCO buffer will not be impacted as a result of the application. Mike McCall (246 Pine Point Lane) requested that his property also be rezoned from Rural to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront as his property is part of the development. This application is consistent with the direction of the Provincial Policy Statement, the County Official Plan and the Township’s Official Plan. Ms. Woods noted that this represents appropriate planning for the subject lands. She further noted that that it would be appropriate for Council to use its authority under section 34(17) of the Planning Act to establish the RLSW zone on 154 Pine Point Lane and 246 Pine Point Lane through the same by-law. These two parcels were created at the same time and through the same process as the subject parcels, and are part of the Pine Point Lane neighbourhood. There were no comments from Council on this application. Mike McCall questioned why it had been originally zoned as “Rural” and wasn’t changed when it was developed. Christine Woods explained that the subject lands were made up of two larger pieces of land with a cottage on one of the properties, the other parcel was vacant, it was typical that large vacant parcels would be been zoned rural. When these lots were recreated it was a condition of severance to recognize the access was from a private lane with waterfrontage, however it is unclear as to why the rezoning never took place. Tracy Zander, Planner for Magenta Waterfront Corporation, confirmed Ms. Woods speculation with regard to the original zoning and while it had been a condition to rezone the lots to Limited Service Residential Waterfront, it had been done and this application is simply to deal with this administratively to correctly zone them.
