(a) Review of Application tor Zoning By-law Amendment in Part of Lot 16, Concession IV, Bedford District, Township of South Frontenac: Snavely Lindsay Mills explained that the purpose of the public meeting was to bring to Council an application for a zoning by-law amendment that would rezone an area of land that is proposed to be an easement to provide access
to an island property. The rezoning would permit vehicle parking and boat mooring on the easement and is a condition of consent application S37-11-B.
Mayor Davison asked it the northwest piece of the property was severed. Lindsay Mills responded that the easement does not sever the land. Councillor Stowe queried whether the easement would be an issue if the property were sold. Lindsay MBUs advised that this would not be an issue
as the easement is tied in perpetuity to the island lot regardless of who owns the mainland lot.
Minutes of Council
April 17th, 2012
Councillor Tinlin asked if the easement would be reflected in the deeds for
both the island and the mainland parcel. Lindsay Mffls responded that yes both deeds would reflect the easement.
There were no comments from the public.
(b) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment in Part of Lot 23, Concession XIV, Loughborough District, Township of South Frontenac: Snelgrove
Lindsay MMs explamed that the purpose of this report is to bring to Council an application for a zoning by-law amendment and to hold a public meeting on the application as required under section 34 of the Planning Act.
The recommendation is that Council pass a zoning amendment application
that would change the zoning on a proposed new waterfront lot and a portion of the retained lot from Special Limited Service ResidentialWaterfront Zone (RLSW-81) to Limited Service Residential-Waterfront
Zone (RLSW). The rezoning is a condition of Consent applications S-19-11L and S-21-11-L. Three consent applications are lot additions and one is to create the new waterfront lot on LaBelle Lake. The zoning change would recognize that the new lot and the retained would be for residential use with
a standard minimum waterfrontage requirement of 91 metres, accessed by a private lane.
Lindsay Mills reviewed the recent development history noting the very restrictive zoning which applies to the lots including the lot that fronts on LaBelIe Lake and follows from an Ontario Municipal Board ruling in 2003
relating to the property which cited the provisions of the Loughborough Official Plan (applicable in 2003). The Board’s ruling in 2003 denied three proposed severances on the property, citing the Loughborough Official Plan.
Lindsay Mills advised that a letter from Frontenac Provincial Park dated
April 10, 2012 advises that Ontario Parks wants to ensure that any development activity does not affect the ecological integrity of park waters or the high density of species at risk. They feel that the 0MB decision in 2003 should be respected and that the application should be denied. In assessing the merits of the 2009 lot creation, however, Council considered
a number of new factors that supported the development proposal. In addition, the 0MB added no site-specific special restrictions to the Official
Plan “Land Use Plan” or the text of the Plan which would discourage the owner from applying to sever in the future. Accordingly, the Planning Department accepted the severance rezoning applications in 2009. Comments from the public.
Councillor McPhail stated that the letter from the CRCA dated July 12th, 2011 noted that because of topographic constraints, the current location of the right-of-way, and the required setbacks, staff are unable to determine if a suitable building envelope exists on the lot to be severed. Lmdsay Mills advised that a survey to identify a building envelope would need to be completed and agreed to by the CRCA.
Deputy Mayor McDougall referenced the memorandum from Alan ReviU, Chief Building Official, dated July 7, 2011 which stated “The proposed lot meets the size requirements but may not meet the waterfrontage requirements.”

April 17m 2012
Lindsay MiUs_ advised _that the CRCA and the BuUding Inspector thought the road was the boundary, however, the property extends further back and
he is confident that a building envelope exists that meets the waterfrontage requirements.
Councillor Stowe asked if the owner is going to change the road. Lindsay Mills answered yes.
Councillor Vandewal asked for clarification that there were no narrow water body issues and Lindsay responded that there were none. Councillor York advised that as long as it was determined that there would be no negative environmental impact, that he was in favour of the application.
Comments from the public were as follows:
Wilma Kenny asked for clarification regarding the addition at the end of Big Clear Lake. Lindsay Mills confirmed that this piece was one of the lot additions and not the new proposed lot.
Deputy Mayor McDougall asked what the policy would be if a lot were to be sold that was within the Park boundary. Lindsay Mills advised that the lot fronting onto LaBelle Lake is not within the Park boundary. Wilma Kenny asked a question about the high water line and its implication on this application for the new lot. Mayor Davison noted that any new development on the severed lot must be located at least 30 metres from the
highwater mark of LaBelle Lake and that the lot is more than 300 metres from Buck Lake. This will not affect the owner’s access. Resolution No. 2012-14-03
Moved by Deputy Mayor McDougaU Seconded by Councillor Stowe
