The Spencerville & District Optimist Club initiated the custom of decorating the comer property of Centre & Spencer Street during the Christmas season, and would like to continue to support our community in this way. At the present time we are considering what we as a club could do for the improvements ofthe said comer during the rest ofthe year.

Things we are considering are the following: - Erecting as memorial park bench( es) - Planting a small flower garden - Planting a coniferous tree to be decorated at Christmas each year.

We would certainly advise you ofour changes prior to making them but we would like to have your support in advance ofany further planning by our club. Please advise us on the proper protocol to make these things happen over time.

C TOWNSHIP OF EDWARDSBURGH CARDINAL ACTION ITEM

• ca

Committee: Council


Department: Planning

Topic: Severance B-6-16 (Wetzel)

Purpose: To consider an application for severance.

Background: Allen Wetzel owns an 80 acre property located at 223 Dobbie Rd. Currently, the property is used for residential purposes, with a portion of the land rented to an adjacent farmer for agricultural purposes. The majority of the acreage is vacant bushland. Additionally, the area being used for agricultural purposes has tile drainage installed.

Mr. Wetzel is proposing to sever a 14.1 acre parcel, encompassing the area used for agricultural use and sell it to an adjoining farmer.

This will leave a 65.9 acre parcel which will remain with the owner and contain the existing dwelling.

Policy Implications: The subject lands are designated Agricultural Resource Area under the Official Plan and Agricultural under the Zoning By-Law.

Official Plan: This severance does not create a new building lot in the Agricultural Resource Area as the parcel to be severed will be merged with the adjacent property. New building lots in the Ag area are not easily permitted under the OP or PPS. Additionally, farm land consolidation is supported in the OP.

Zoning By-Law: Due to the location of the tile drained, farmable area existing on the property, the parcel to be retained will only maintain approximately 50ft of frontage, where the driveway for the dwelling currently exists. This is below the minimum 229ft of frontage required by the zoning by-law. In order to address this frontage deficiency, a Minor Variance should be completed. Other than the deficient frontage, the parcel generally conforms to zoning regulations.

Financial Considerations: The applicant has remitted the required fee for severance to the Municipality.

Recommendation: That Council recommend in favor of the severance 8-6-16 (Wetzel) conditional upon:

1) A minor variance being granted to allow for the approximately 179ft frontage deficiency.

2) The severed land being registered as adjoined to the neighboring property owned by William 8yker.

Committee: CDC


Department: Administration/Economic Development

Topic: Business at 5 Newport Drive

Purpose: To recommend Council support for issuance of a license for a craft brewery at 5 Newport Drive.

Background: In March of 2015, municipal Council entered into a site plan control agreement with Bob, Claire & Company to permit construction of a craft distillery building at 5 Newport Drive.

The construction of the building is nearing completion and a second retail business in the form of a craft brewery is proposed within the building.

A manufacturer's Limited Liquor Sales Licence is required by the business owner/ operator and the licensing process requires Council's support in the form of a resolution.

Policy Implications: The Site Plan Control Agreement contemplated more than one business within the building and the municipality's zoning bylaw supports the use.

Financial Considerations: None.

Recommendations: That Committee recommends that Council pass a resolution in support of the issuance of a Manufacturer's Limited Liquor Sales Licence to Johnstown Craft Beverages Inc., operating as Windmill Brewery at 5 Newport Drive, Johnstown, Ontario.

INFORMATION ITEM

Committee: Community Development Committee Date: February 8, 2016 Department: Planning Topic: County-Wide Official Plan Update

Background: In late December the Counties received a draft decision from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing with proposed modifications for the Official Plan which was adopted by Counties Council in July 2015. Before the OP can come into effect, the Counties require approval of the plan in its entirety from MMAH. As a part of the draft decision, the Counties received a letter which outlined a number of modifications to the adopted OP as required by MMAH. These suggested changes have been provided to Counties Council as well as to the CAO’s and municipal Planners within the Counties. Moving forward, a meeting is to be scheduled with the ‘Planning Group’ who has been overseeing the creation of the OP, to review the comments provided by the MMAH and make a recommendation to Counties Council in early February. The choice will be to accept and adopt the changes suggested by the MMAH, or to oppose some or all of the suggested changes and submit a revised Plan for MMAH to review. Further information will be provided as it becomes available.


INFORMATION ITEM

Committee: Community Development Committee Date: February 8, 2016 Department: Planning Topic: Giant Tiger Site Plan Application

Background: As you are aware, the Township has conditionally sold land to Giant Tiger for development of a warehousing and distribution facility in the Industrial Park. The planning parameters of Official Plan and Zoning are in place and a minor variance has recently been approved to allow for the building to be as tall as 60 feet, as opposed to the 50 feet currently allowed in the Zoning Bylaw. The next planning process will be development of a site plan control bylaw. We expect that Giant Tiger will be providing their application by February 1. The timelines are extremely tight for approval of the agreement. The Township’s planning consultant and legal adviser will be reviewing the document and it will need to be provided directly to Council for consideration without the usual Committee review. Further information will be provided as it becomes available.
