and surrounding land. The Planner advised that the subject lands are currently
zoned for this type of use, which is a proposal for 48 residential townhouse units,
and she advised that the proposed amendments to the Zoning By-law are minor
technical revisions. The Planner advised that, to keep Council informed on
applications under consideration, and to ensure that early public input is
received, staff scheduled this public meeting shortly after the receipt of the
subject applications, which are in keeping with the zoning by-law and conform
with the official plan. The Planner concluded by advising that in view of the
various outstanding comments from external agencies, staff suggest that a
further report be brought before Council that includes a complete review of the
zoning standards and subdivision matters.
Applicant/Agent
Mr. Patrick O’Hanlon, President of Angus Glen Development Ltd., advised of the
prestigious reputation which has grown from the award winning projects

standards for quality which will be going into this application, based on the
uniquely natural setting and private nature of the location. Mr. O’Hanlon advised
that the units will be designed as “manor homes” and that there will be guest
parking provided in excess of the standards within the Zoning By-law. Mr.
O’Hanlon advised that the 48 proposed units will be free-hold town-homes,
however the streets, guest parking and other common areas will be

questions if needed.
