1 . HASTINGS COUNTY PLANNING ADVISORY/LAND DIVISION COMMITTEE County Administration Building Belleville, Ontario January 13, 1994 A meeting of the Hastings County Planning Advisory/Land Division Committee was held on the above date with the following members present: Jack Arthur, Morley Marquette, H. Allan Leal, Earl Hewison, Arnold Burkitt, Jack Vance, Warden Deline. Also in attendance were Niall Carney, Director of Planning, Jean Rixen, Senior Planner, Wm. Bouma, Clerk-Administrator and Gill Sparrow, Executive Secretary. Warden Deline was asked to conduct the public meeting, as Acting Chairman, and called the meeting to order. PUBLIC MEETING l(a) Village of Madoc: Concession 5, Part Lot 1 The purpose of the amendment is to redesignate the subject lands from "Rural" and "Industrial (with Special Policy") to "Industrial (with Special Policy)" to allow the establishment of a bus depot and used car sales business. Ms. Rixen explained that this parcel is in the west end of the Village in the vicinity of the developing municipal industrial park. Part of the land is currently designated "Rural" and part is "Industrial (with Special Policy)", the special policy referring to wetlands which exist within the industrial park but beyond the subject lot. A new "special policy" is required to allow used car sales in the "Industrial" designation along with the bus depot which the applicant wishes to establish for his tour business. The local Council has already proceeded with an implementing zoning by-law and considerable support for the proposed development has been offered, especially from the Madoc Village business community. Ms. Rixen indicated that the proposed uses would be appropriate in the subject location and recommended in favour of the proposed amendment. Moved by Jack Arthur Seconded by Morley Marquette That this application for amendment be approved and recommended to County Council.

2 2 January 13, 1994 (b) Village of Stirling: Concession 1, Part Lot 13; R.P. 39,. Lots 12 to 21 (south side Front Street); R.P. 149, Lots 12 to 21 (north side Weaver Street) / The purpose of the amendment is to redesignate the subject lands from "Industrial" to a new "Business Commercial" designation which would allow a wider range of land uses.. Ms. Rixen explained that the subject lands comprise the industrial park in the west end of the Village of Stirling. The amendment proposes a new designation which will recognize the changing character of businesses in this area. Few purely production-oriented activites are being established. Rather, uses which include a substantial retail component are typical but are not accommodated by the present Official Plan policies. It is expected that new uses, resembling the existing furniture manufacturing and sales showroom, building supply centre and carpet warehouse and sales outlet, will be those that require larger buildings or greater land area than is available in the downtown commercial core and, therefore, will be better accommodated in the subject area. Uses which will not be permitted, however, are those that would require high water usage such as car washes, hotels, full service restaurants and certain types of manufacturing. Mr. Brent Barnes of Ainley & Associates Ltd., represents the Village and explained that he is preparing an implementing zoning by-law and comprehensive development plan for the subject area. Mr. Roy Tucker asked what effect this new designation might have on his farmland, which is located within the subject area. It was felt that its effect would be no different from the current "Industrial" designation which has been in place for many years. amendment. Ms. Rixen recommended in favour of the proposed Seconded by Earl Hewison That the application for amendment be approved and recommended to County Council. (cl Township of Thurlow: Concession 5, Part Lot 22 The purpose of this amendment is to apply a "special policy" within the "Prime Agriculture" designation to allow the creation of a farm-related residential lot. /

3 3 January 13, 1994 Ms. Rixen explainedthatthe subject lands, approximately 30 acres in area, are occupied by a house, barn and track where standardbred horses are bred and trained. A residential lot had been severed for family members involved in the business and an additional lot is now required for another family member. Since the policies of the "Prime Agriculture" designation do not permit more than one severance, the proposed special policy is required. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food has furnished the minimum distances from the two barns in the vicinity and has indicated that a new residence could be situated so as to comply. The Ministry therefore has no objection to the proposed amendment. Although the Township Council has not yet supplied a comment, the local Planning Advisory Committee had recommended approval. Because the proposal complies with the Foodland Guidelines and will benefit a viable agricultural activity, the Planning staff recommends in favour. Moved by Earl Hewison Seconded by Jack Arthur That the application for amendment be approved and recommended to County Council. (d) Township of Rawdon: Concession 1, Part Lots 8, 9 The purpose of this amendment is to redesignate the subject lands from "Prime Agriculture" to "Rural" to allow the establishment of a golf course. Ms. Rixen explained that consideration of this application had been deferred from a previous meeting to allow the applicant and his agent to discuss with the Ministry of Natural Resources and to allow the Ministry of Agriculture & Food to complete its review of the applicant's soil survey. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food is now satisfied that the subject lands are primarily comprised of soils of low productivity and organics. Mr. Charles Cleaver and his agent, Mr. Gary Dyke of Vanmeer Ltd., waited on the Committee to speak in favour of the application. Mr. Dyke stated that the golf course had been redesigned to take into consideration the concern of various agencies. It would now have only nine holes and a 15 meter setback adjacent to water courses would be implemented. Since the new design removes the development from the area of influence related to the Stirling Wetland, the Ministry of Natural Resources no longer requires an Environmental Impact Study.

4 4 January 13, 1994 Ms. Rixen recommended in favour of the proposal but sugested that a policy be included in the amendment requiring the use of a "holding zone" to ensure that drainage and grading plans satisfactory to the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Conservation - / Authority and the municipal Council are in place. The Warden warned that the Ministry of the Environment and Energy, which does not provide comments to the County on proposed amendments may be concerned about the effect of the golf course on the local ground and surface water resources, especially since an Environmental Impact Study is being conducted relative to the establishment of additional municipal wells for the Village of Stirling in the vicinity of the subject lands. He suggested that Mr. Cleaver discuss his proposal with the Ministry. Moved by Morley Marquette Seconded b,y Arnold Burkitt That this application for amendment be approved and recommended to County Council. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN Mr. Bouma outlined the events of the meeting held on December 8, 1993, the Inaugural Session, which was called to elect the Chairman of the Planning Committee. At that meeting, proxy votes had been accepted. As this procedure is not recognized by the County of Hastings' rules of procedure, it was felt that a reelection should be held. After discussion, it was Moved by Jack Arthur Seconded by H. Allan Lea1 That the Planning Advisory/Land Division Committee recommend to County Council that any election of Chairman of Standing Committees be conducted by secret ballot.
