Public Meeting
a)
Resolution Resolution No. 2017-4-2 Moved by Councillor Barbeau Seconded by Councillor Sutherland THAT a public meeting be held to discuss planning matters related to: • Application for Zoning By-law Amendment - Concession XIII, Part Lots 5 & 6, Portland District • Application for Zoning By-law Amendment - Concession IV, Part Lots 28 & 29, Bedford District Carried
b)
Application for Zoning By-law Amendment - Concession XIII, Part Lots 5 & 6, Portland Lindsay Mills explained that three new residential lots on Howes Lake in Portland District were given provisional consent subject to rezoning. The three new lots range in size from 3 acres to 4.5 acres and they would exceed the minimum standards in terms of lot size, waterfrontage and frontage on the road. There will be road widening required as there are parts of the road that are narrow; Hinchinbrook Road North is a maintained township road. The rezoning would change the zone on the new lots from Rural to Waterfront Residential. There were no comments from Council or the public.
c)
Application for Zoning By-law Amendment - Concession IV, Part Lots 28 & 29; Bedford
Page 2 of 5 Minutes of Council February, 21, 2017 Lindsay Mills circulated an additional map to Councillors that shows the final lot configuration that provided clarity to the zoning. Provisional consent has been given for two lot additions and the creation of a new waterfront residential lot. This would render the retained acreage as a non-waterfront lot. The subject land comprises 47.2 hectares with road frontage on Brown’s Lane and lake frontage on Crow Lake. The proposal is for the creation of a 6.6 acre waterfront lot with 83 metres of frontage on the lake. The rezoning would also expand the existing RRC-42 zoning onto the whole of the subject land. Mr. Mills noted that the by-law included within the agenda package needs to be amended from the 90 to 50 metres. Councillor Sutherland questioned the expansion of the resort rezoning if the owner wanted more than 40 lots. Mr. Mills confirmed that it if the owner wants to expand the resort to over 50 units, an Official Plan amendment would be required. Mayor Vandewal asked if the 50 metre setback requirement was the same for the septic system. Mr. Mills confirmed it is 50 metres for the building and 50 metres for the septic. There were no comments from the public. Resolution No. 2017-4-3 Moved by Councillor Barbeau Seconded by Councillor Sutherland THAT an opportunity having been provided, the public meeting be closed. Carried 6.
