Various Matters The Committee respectfully submits the following: A meeting of the Planning Committee was held on October 14, 1986 in the Administrative Centre at 7:00 p.m. Present were: Councillor G. Timpson, Chairman; Councillor M. Paivio; Councillor E. Buck, 7:40 p.m.; Councillor R. Barker; Councillor T. Jones; Councillor N. Weller, 7:30 p.m.; Mayor J. West; Mr. K. B. Rodger, Clerk-Administrator; Mr. R. Harrington, Chief Building Official; Mrs. S. Seibert, Director of Planning; Mr. P. Lee, Planner, 7:20 p.m. A. OFFICIAL PLAN REVIEW 1. The Committee and Members of Council present discussed the Industrial land use designation as proposed in the draft Official Plan. There was a consensus that designating one block of land which could be developed over the next 5-6 years was the most appropriate way to proceed. Because of the shortage of vacant available industrial land the Committee is of the opinion that the issue should be dealt with as an Official Plan Amendment to the present plan so that a more expeditious approval could be obtai ned. It is recognized however that such an amendment will require a comprehensive study to justify the use of the area which is good agricultural land and to ensure that development occurs in a planned manner. The Committee would therefore recommend that the Planning Department or if necessary, outside consultants be authorized to prepare a Secondary Plan for the area north of Wellington Street bounded by the St. John's Sideroad, Holland River Valley and Bayview Street in consultation with the landowners to be presented as an Official Plan Amendment to the present Official Plan. The Plan is to address treatment of boundary areas, buffer areas, servicing, and land uses. Schedule 'A' to the draft Official Plan is to be altered by the removal of the industrial designation south of Wellington Street. 2. The Committee also discussed the actual wording for the text of the land use category. The Committee recommends that references under "Permitted Uses" to automotive uses be moved to the second paragraph to make it clear that these are subject to rezoning and locational policies and that offices be permitted. 3. The Committee discussed the need for semi-commercial types of uses which require large acreages and would recommend that a clause be added to the section which would permit this type of use under very specific conditions. B. DELEGATIONS 1. Letter 17 -139 -Mr. K. C. Mahajan -Farmer's Donuts Letter 18-83 -Mr. D.W. Alton -Lads & Lasses Letter 18-84 -Mr. J.

The Committee debated the request and agreed that this was a somewhat unique situation. The Committee recommends that the Chief Building Official prepare a report regarding the possibility of amending the sign by-1 aw such that the number of pylon signs permitted be determined by either the frontage or lot area of the property.

The final request relates to the possibility of the Town acquiring Open Space Block 19 since it is considered an Environmentally Significant Area. The Director of Planning noted that it is generally not Council's policy to acquire open space blocks in rural areas.
