Moved by Councillor Stowe
Seconded by Deputy Mayor McDougaIl
That a public meeting be held to discuss planning matters related to: Zoning By-law Amendment, Beers Z-12/01
Zonmg By-law Amendment, CampbeU Z-12/03 Carried.
(a) Zoning By-law Amendment, Beers Z-12/01
Lindsay Mills explained 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 approve a zoning by-law amendment that would rezone an existing waterfront lot from Special Recreational
Resort Commercial Zone (RRC-3) to Waterfront Residential Zone (RW). The property had been used occasionally in the past for camping but the owners now wish to recognize that the land is for residential use only.
The issue that the Planning Department has with the rezoning application
is that there are three dwellings on the property. Only one principal dwelling building is permitted in the residential zone. The cottage nearest the water may be permitted to continue provided it is no longer used as a dwelling.
Minutes of Council
March 20th-2012
To legally ensure that the third cottage is no longer used as a dwelling it is recommended that a site plan agreement be entered into and registered on
title to require that the building be made uninhabitable. The agreement specifies that the existing facilities in the building must be removed so that
there is no bathroom or kitchen which would make the building an accessory building only.
Lindsay Mills recommends we take this action or defer the application until the building is taken down. He noted the Site Plan Agreement is the best option in Ms opinion, as it also addresses environmental issues.
CouncUlor Stowe asked how do we ensure the owner makes the building uuinhabitable.
Lindsay Mills responded indicating we can direct the owner to do this and
if it is not done, then the Township can do it and charge the cost of the work to the owner’s taxes.
Lindsay Mills read three letters. The first letter was from Christine
Kornet, P.O. Box 40, Papa’aloa, HI 96780 (Hawaii) an adjacent property owner. This individual also phoned and spoke to Lindsay. She supports tUs property being rezoned.
Two other neighbours, Pierre Larin, 4168 Carrying Place Road, Seeley’s Bay, Ontario and Stephen and Karen Whitehead, 491 Broadview Avenue,
Ottawa, Ontario also agree with the rezoning and both provided letters indicating their support.
Councillor Vandewal said that the only way you could ensure the building would be uninhabitable is to tear it down completely.
Councillor McPhail asked for clarification on the size of the building and if it was comparable to the size of a garage. Lindsay MiUs advised it was 500 square feet.
Councillor McPhail said he would be happier if the building was taken down entirely as there is no way to predict what the building may be used for in the future. Also, he feels it would be easy to take the building down. Councillor York asked how far the building was from the water. Lindsay Mills responded 10 feet. Councillor York said he was in favour of mamtaining the buUding and making it uninhabitable. Councillor Naish supports taking the building down entirely. Councillor Robinson says he supports making the building uninhabitable and it could be used as a garage. Mayor Davison supports taking the building down entirely otherwise there is no way to prevent it being used for something else in the future. Also, it would be easy to take it down as it is small.
Councillor McPhail said the present owner may abide by the zoning by-law stipulations, but future owner(s) may not.
Deputy Mayor McDougall agrees with the building being removed entirely. There were no comments from the public.

(b) Zoning By-law Amendment, CampbeU Z-12/03, Pages 12-18 (See By-law No.21)
Lindsay Mms described an appUcation for a zoning by-law amendment that would rezone a proposed new commercial lot from Special Urban Commercial Zone (UC-5) to Special Urban Commercial Zone (UC-22). The land is presenUy zoned Special Urban Commercial Zone (UC-5) which permits a full range of commercial type uses (Mahon Equipment Ltd.) as well as one or more apartment dwelling units which are required to be located over a permitted commercial use. The new zone would be to
permit a building to house the applicant’s trucks (used for his business) and to accommodate an office for the business. In addition, two apartments are proposed on the above floor in the same building. The new commercial zone would permit the uses desired by the applicant as well as a range of other compatible type uses.
Lindsay Mills advised that he doesn’t feel a Site Plan Agreement is necessary as the property is surrounded by other similar industrial properties with the exception of a residential area of approximately 20 homes that is separated by a treed area.
Councillor Vandewal said he is in favour of the rezoning application as it appears to fit into the use of surrounding properties.
Councillor York is in favour of the rezoning application. Councillor Naish is in favour of the rezonmg application. Mayor Davison agrees with the rezoning application. There were no comments from the public. Resolution No. 2012-10-03
