COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, MARCH 16th, 1981

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES: (continued)
Division Committee Aoolication Number 348.80.A -
Thomas B. McPherson, of McPherson and Shugart, Solicitors, appeared at the Hearing.
The owner seeks consent to convey the subject land marked "A" on the attached
sketch, for agricultural purposes, and retain the land marked "B", for agricultural
purposes. There is an existing dwelling, a garage and a shed located on the
subject land. The garage and the shed will be moved. There is an existing
dwelling located on the land to be retained.
In reaching a decision, the Committee had regard to all of the matters set out in
subsection 4 of section 33 of The Planning Act and to the written and oral
submissions and comments made at the Hearing.
The owner's land is designated as "Rural" by the approved Official Plan which
provides that the predominant use shall be for agriculture, forestry and activities
connected with the conservation of soil and wildlife. Uses may also include
restricted rural non-farm residential development on a limited scale and at a very
low density by consent of the Land Division Committee and in accordance with the
following policies:
1. The general policy in the Rural designated areas is to prevent urban
development and encourage the maintenance of these areas for rural and
agricultural uses;
2. Good agricultural land should be preserved for agricultural purposes. The
use for which the parcel is proposed should be related to agriculture,
outside of built-up areas. Scattered, isolated residential development
throughout the planning area should be prevented;
3. The size of any parcel of land created by consent should be appropriate for
the use proposed. No parcel should be created which does not conform to the
provisions of the implementing zoning by-law and the policies of the Plan;
4. The proposed lots should be in character with existing neighbouring lots in
the area in terms of lot size, lot frontage and depth. The proposed use
should be compatible with the uses in adjacent areas and should be examined
in terms of the effect of the use on the surrounding area;
5. The minimum distance separation formula of the Agricultural Code of
Practice shall be used to determine adequate separation of the proposed lot
from existing or proposed livestock operations located on adjacent lots.
The land is zoned "Rural" by approved By-law 2142-77 and is zoned "Rural General"
by By-law 2213-78 passed by Council on June 16, 1980 but not yet approved.by the
Municipal Board.
The existing frontage and area requirements for residential purposes are 600 feet
and 25 acres, respectively. The proposed requirements are 180 metres (590.55 feet)
and 10 hectares (24.71 acres).
In the opinion of the Committee, the proposal would not conform to the existing
Zoning By-law in respect of frontage and area but would conform to the proposed
By-law if approved by the Municipal Board.
At the present time, there are two existing dwellings on the owner's holding. One
of the dwellings is a converted barn and is located to the west, more or less
behind the existing farm dwelling and distant some 90 metres.
Because of the relative position of the two dwellings, the owner proposes to "jog"
the line of severance in order to convey the converted dwelling with the subject
land and retain the existing farm dwelling on the remainder.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES: (continued)
Report # 32 -York Land Division Committee ••• Application Number 348.80.A-
(Lakie) (continued)
The Committee notes that the existing and intended use of both the subject and
remaining lands is "Agricultural". The owner's holding has a total area of
approximately 20.23 hectares of which the Committee estimates approximately 20
percent is low-lying, covered with bush, trees, a pond, or is restricted to
residential uses. Of the balance, approximately 35 percent appears to have been
newly forested, with the remaining 65 percent capable of or used for farming
purposes.
The Committee is of the opinion that the proposal would not conform to the Official
Plan. The viability of the existing holding for agricultural purposes at present
is, at best, marginal. The applicant proposes that each of the resulting lots will
be used for agricultural purposes. The Official Plan requires that the size of any
parcel created by consent should be appropriate for the use proposed. The
Committee concludes the proposed parcels are not appropriate for the intended
uses. The proposal would contribute to the break-up of good agricultural land and
result in parcels that are not viable for agricultural purposes.
For all of the foregoing reasons, it is, therefore, the decision of the Land
Division Committee, that consent be REFUSED to Application Number 348.80.A.

In reaching a decision, the Committee had regard to all of the matters set out in
subsection 4 of section 33 of The Planning Act and to the written and oral
submissions and comments made at the Hearing.
On the basis of the evidence before it, the Committee concludes the proposal
conforms to the Official Plan and will conform to the Zoning By-Law presently in
force, if the frontage of the subject land is increased to not less than 15.24

Murray Pound, Consultant for the owners appeared before the Committee and
explained the revised subdivision plan. The proposed road through the

Mr. Braddock, a professional engineer, accompanied Mr. Pound and explained
how the owner could adequately service the land with water by installing a
12 inch watermain to hook-up with the existing 12 inch main at Glass Drive.
The Committee recommends the proposal be adopted in principle subject to:
(a) The owner making a formal Subdivision application to the Town
accompanied by the necessary fees, 15 copies of the plan, and the
detailed reports and mapping, as required by the Town's Official
Plan.
(b) The Town Consulting Engineer's comments regarding the new proposal be

recommendation.
4. Technical Report re: Dical Investments, Proposed Estate Lot Subdivision,
Part Lots 11 and 12, Cone. II, E.Y.S.
The Committee perused Mrs. Seibert's report and it is recommended that
approval in principle be given to the plan subject to satisfactory
resolution of the following prior to draft approval:
(a) The applicant should investigate joining the two easterly culs-de-sac.
(b) The bulb of the cul-de-sac to the north west would appear to be located
on a very steep slope. The applicant should investigate the cul-de-sac
and 1 ot design surrounding it and revise the plan so that satisfactory
grades can be achieved. In order to ensure that suitable grades can be
established on all subdivision roads, the owner should prepare a
preliminary plan and profile of all roads for the Town's approval.

by the Town, this error could form part of the new Official Plan Amendment.
