Minutes of Council
June 5th, 2012
(a) Review of Application for Zoning By-law Amendment in Part of Lots 22,
Concession IX, Storrington District, Township of South Frontenac: Andersen
Lindsay MiUs explained that the purpose of the public meeting was 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.
An application has been submitted to amend the Township of South Frontenac Comprehensive Zoning By-law to permit an existing ten acre lot to be used for a hobby farm in addition to its present residential use. The land is presently zoned Limited Service Residential-Waterfront Zone
(RLSW). The zoning appears to have been placed on the property in error given that the land fronts on Carrying Place Road which is a fuUymaintained public road and, thus, the road does not provide limited service but provides full service.
Councillor York asked how far the farm would be situated from the water.
Lindsay Mills responded that the farm would be in compliance with the required set back of the Official Plan as it is a 10 acre lot.
Mayor Davison asked why the application is being supported when it is on a small lot with water frontage. Lmdsay Mills responded that only three large animals, Le. cows, are permitted on a hobby farm. Mayor Davison responded that there would stiU be waste from the animals that could end up in the water and he was concerned that the minimum distance separation could be a factor.
There were no comments from the public. (b)
Review of Application for Zoning By-law Amendment in Part of Lot 6,
Concession IX, Portland District, Township of South Frontenac: Hayes Lindsay IVKUs advised 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
An application has been submitted to amend the Township of South Frontenac Comprehensive Zoning By-law to permit an existing 2.13 acre lot to be used as an automotive repair garage. This commercial use would be in addition to the present use of the land which is residential. The land is presently zoned Rural Zone (RU) which permits only the residence and accessory buildings and uses.
The applicant advises that he needs proper zoning on the property in order to carry out automobile safety inspections. In order to have this use
recognized by the Ministry of Transportation, they require that it be specificaUy zoned for automotive repair. Lindsay Mills advised that the proposal does not meet the intent of the Official Plan in terms of safe access to and from the subject land. The Public Works Department advises that there are no safe access points on which to locate a commercial entrance to the subject lot because it is on a curve in the road with bad sight lines. The safety of the public should not be jeopardized and the application should be denied.
No comments have been received from the public. Councillor Robinson says he has visited this property and feels that from the south driveway there is lots of sight. He supports this application.

June 5th, 2012
Deputy Mayor McDougaU advised that he is reluctant to vote against a recommendation, but that he drives this road daily. He also feels that if the
south section of the property was used for entry that the sight line would be fine. He said there are plenty of signs making the road well marked for
things like “blind corner/hidden driveway, etc.” He remarked that you
should not be driving fast. Deputy Mayor McDougaIl supports this application.
Councillor Stowe mentioned that the 80 km. speed limit on the road is a factor. He asked if lowering the speed limit would enable the owner to be successful in his application and allow for a safe entrance. Councillor
Stowe asked Mark Segsworth if the speed limit on the road could be reduced.
Councillor Naish asked Lindsay Mms to clarify the intent behind the issue of the location of the entrance. Lindsay Mills responded that the intent was to place the entrance anywhere that was safe, but they could not find a safe entry spot anywhere.
Councillor McPhail agrees that the speed limit on the road should be revisited with respect to an entrance to the property. If one entrance is found to be unsafe, then it should be closed.
Councillor Robinson said you could not go 80 km. per hour on this road. Councillor Vandewal said he agreed with revisiting the speed limit for the whole stretch of road, but not for one person’s interests.
Councillor Stowe said he will support the application if the speed limit is reduced on the whole road.
Steve Hayes, Applicant addressed Council advising that his intent is to open an automotive repair garage for the sole purpose of doing safety inspections on the vehicles he restores. He advised that he uses the one
entranceway to Ms home all of the time and has never had a problem going in and out of his laneway. He understands the concerns with respect to the entranceway which is close to the bend in the road. He agrees that the speed limit on the entire road should be reduced.
Councillor Naish asked Mr. Hayes which one of the existing driveways he wished to use. Mr. Hayes responded that he wishes to use the driveway
furthest away as he needs to make the entrance way larger to meet the commercial stipulations.
Councillor Vandewal wants staff to look at reducing the speed limit on the road. If the speed limit cannot be changed, then he will not support the application.
There were no comments from the public. Resolution No. 2012-20-03
Moved by Councillor Stowe
Seconded by Councillor McPhail
THAT Council deny the application to rezone Lot 6, Concession IX,
Portland District, Township of South Frontenac from Rural Zone (RU) to a Special Rural Commercial Zone to permit an automotive repair garage. It was recommended that the application be deferred for more information
regarding the reassessment of the speed limit by the Public Works Department for the purpose of reducing the speed limit on the entire road.
