SUBJECT: PUBLIC MEETING
Council adjourned to hold a Public Meeting for the Manneke Rezoning application and
resumed their Regular Session thereafter.
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR CHANGE IN OFFICIAL PLAN DESIGNATION –
MARCEL & ATTIE de WIT, PART LOT 7, CONCESSION II
Council reviewed a letter from Mr. and Mrs. DeWit noting that a severance on their
property was previously denied as two active gravel pit surround their property. They
are requesting a change in the Official Plan designation to residential for their property.
The Planner noted that this request could be considered as a special case, the lands
adjacent to the property have been rehabilitated and the split of the property into two
lots seems reasonable. Council directed that this change in land use designation be
included in the new Official Plan.
SUBJECT: ONTARIO REALTY CORPORATION
The Ontario Realty Corporation have forwarded an information document entitled
“Changes to Hydro Corridor Lands”. Municipalities have until May 31, 2005 to review
and identify potential public linear uses of Hydro Corridor lands in their municipality.
The Planner will review the document and report back to Council.
SUBJECT: PORT GLASGOW WATERFRONT
It was noted that the Port Glasgow Yacht Club has requested Council consider
permanent washroom facilities. The Mayor reported that a plan should be prepared for
the recreational zone taking into consideration the Port Glasgow Trailer Park, the
lakefront area, a possible pavilion and washrooms. It has been determined that
washroom facilities is the priority. The Planner noted that engineering will be required
for the siting of washroom facilities and Council directed that Spriet Associates be
contacted to prepare the necessary engineering. The Planner will prepare a preliminary
outline of needs and a site meeting with the Yacht Club present will be scheduled.
July 24/03…Pg 2 of 5
SUBJECT: OFFICIAL PLAN REVIEW
The Planner gave a brief summary of the issues raised by the technical agencies at the
meeting held last week:
?
Concern with the proposed lakefront designation, considered prime agricultural
land
?
Justification for additional industrial lands being designated, north of Rodney and
West Lorne.
?
Rural residential designation along Graham Road and Pioneer Line – OMAF
would not support as in conflict with Provincial Policy Statement.
After discussion, Council noted that this plan has been developed for our community,
with our interests and directed that the proposed designations not be changed. The
Planner will prepare the draft Official Plan for presentation to Council in September.
