# Writer Issue Response Received letter from Meridian March 14, 2003 stating request would be reviewed for Planning Advisory Committee in April or May 2003. On May 26, 2003, another letter received that on May 8, 2002, Council clearly indicated OP review was not to change sitespecific requests. Several others made comments on misinformation at June 24, 2003 meeting. Two years of waiting for “appropriate time” and provided requested information. Too much time wasted because Andrea Leigh and Meridian Planning Consultants had different notions of what OP Review entailed. Want complaint noted with Mayor and Council, proposal to remedy this situation and for subject property to be considered for inclusion in Shanty Bay settlement area. 17 Ian Rowe (Burgar Rowe LLP) July 7, 2003 (Ontario Realty Corporation) 18 Ray Duhamel (Jones Consulting Group) June 24, 2003 (Jules Goossens) OPA #5: Edgar Centre SPA OP Review proposes severe restriction of development potential for subject property. Objectives, uses and development policies of OPA #5 remain appropriate for future development of site. Object to any OPA more restrictive than policies pursuant to OPA #5 and any ZBL implementing such OPA. Request Notice of Plan Adoption and dialogue initiated to discuss concerns before and action is taken. Property Specific (Shoreline Designation Expansion) Site is designated rural, immediately outside of Shoreline designation. Surrounded to the north, west and south by existing rural residential and shoreline residential properties. Understand that considerable planning justification and many applications are needed to expand Shoreline area. Support policies permitting minor Shoreline expansion without OP Amendment if certain criteria are met. If Noted. Planning Advisory Committee does not support a policy that would permit new lots on public roads across from the Shoreline designation. In reviewing all requests of property owners together, appear policies would provide for considerable additional development in shoreline area. The draft policy will not be carried forward into final OPA. TABLE A: PUBLIC COMMENTS ON OP REVIEW Prepared by Page 10
# Writer Issue Response this is not agreeable, request less intensive reviews and justification as what would otherwise be required. Request Notice of any draft policies affecting Rural and Shoreline designations, further meetings and adoption. 19 Bengt Schumacher June 30, 2003 RR#2 Oro Station 20 Don Haney (Burl’s Creek Family Event Park) July 4, 2003 Shoreline designation development Very much in favour of limited development on existing public roads across from existing Shoreline designation development. Limitations proposed strike a good balance for Township. Water Taking Agrees with general intent of these amendments, but would be wise to wait for province to settle current disputes. Unclear as to if water taking is a land use. Tourism Supports official recognition of importance of tourism to future of the Township. Strong Objection to Several Proposed Amendments Document appears restrictive in developing a tax base. Businesses unable to handle additional fees and license issue was dealt with last year. Business owners are trimming budgets and Township leaders should follow this example by streamlining existing Bylaws and reducing staff operating costs. Taking of water is over-controlled. Strongly objects to any intrusion by proposed Section. Only 5-10% of household water use is for human consumption. The rest is washing (dishes, clothes, cars), bathing and toilets. New homes should contain cisterns to collect water for non-potable uses. Draft policy on development across from Shoreline designation will not be carried forward. Policies, as drafted, would be contrary to intent of OP to limit additional development. Policy will be substantially modified before presentation to Council and indicate policy is dependent on courts determining water taking is a land use under Planning Act. If water taking becomes a land use, policy will require comprehensive review of issues to support a Zoning By-law amendment. Issues on controls and permissions would be determined at that time. Strategic objectives on tourism now added in Section A2.7 of the OPA. Amendment provides additional land use permissions in certain designations, plus opportunities for rural severances. Most growth continued to be aimed at settlement areas. Water taking policy will be substantially modified before presentation to Council and indicate policy is dependent on courts determining water taking is a land use under Planning Act. If water taking becomes a land use, policy will require comprehensive review of issues to support a Zoning By-law amendment. Issues on controls and permissions would be determined at that time.
