South Frontenac Committee of the Whole

Wilma Kenny | Mar 14, 2018

Due to the absence of both Mayor Vandewal and Deputy Mayor Barr, Councillor Alan Revill chaired South Frontenac’s brief March COW meeting.

Planner Mills brought three items :

An application from Jim Gilmour for a by-law amendment which would permit a commercial meat shop and other commercial uses to establish on a proposed 2-acre park of land a short distance north of the current Gilmour site. Mills pointed out that such a use is compatible with the Official Plan, and prior to development, Council would be required to approve a detailed site plan indicating locations of buildings, well, septic, parking and buffer areas. As well, Public Works has advised that there would be specific entrance requirements and a proper exit lane from road 38 would have to be constructed at the developer’s expense. There were no questions or comments from Council or the public.

An application for a by-law amendment to rezone a residential property on Mt Chesney Road, in Storrington, in order to permit a secondary attached dwelling to be constructed. The Health Unit has advised that a new septic suite would be required. There were two brief supportive comments from Councillors Sleeth and McDougall, and no comments from the public.

A request that Council consider the closing and sale of a portion of unopened road allowance between lots 10 and 11, concession 1 in Bedford. This lot addition would provide access to 167 feet of frontage on White Lake Road from an otherwise landlocked 83 acre property, and permit one residence to be built. The township’s price for such road allowances is $0.21 per square foot, for a total of $27,441 in this case. There were no objections.

Councillor Barbeau’s proposal that the Township buy a dishwasher for the Township’s staff kitchen was agreed upon. There were no objections from CAO Wayne Orr or Deputy Clerk Angela Maddocks, the two staff representatives present.
