Page 3 of 118 COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 18, 2013 - Page 2 of 4 The Consulting Planner Kristine Loft presented Planning Report PL.13.50 and agency comments. Comments from Agent: Confirmed that once lands to the north and south merge with the proposed consent there will be legal access to property. A second consent application for this subject property has been filed with the Municipality and will be presented at the October 16, 2013 COA meeting. That proposed consent will ensure the agriculture portion of the property merges with the farmland to the east. The odd shape of proposed consent for application B13.2013 is due to topography; to maintain and manage the cold water stream and wetlands. It has been configured to exclude all working agriculture lands. Comments from the Public: No opposition and no support. Comments from the members: If the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority does not require a permit for any works on the property, the Municipality will accept a sign off letter from the Conservation Authority to fulfill a proposed condition of consent. Recommendation: That Consent Application B13.2013 be approved with conditions. Members Vote for B13.2013: Silverton – Support Clarke - Support with conditions Risk - Support Trimble - Absent McQueen - Support Application B13.2013 was approved with conditions. The Public Meeting for applications B13.2013 then adjourned. 6 OTHER BUSINESS 6.1 B08.2012 - Part Lots 31 & 32, Concession 8 (Artemesia) - Conditional Consent provided on August 15, 2012 - Revision to Draft Survey requested B08.2012 was presented and approved by Committee on August 15, 2012. The purpose of the consent was to sever Page 4 of 118 COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 18, 2013 - Page 3 of 4 approximately 0.6 hectares (1.48 acres) of land from the subject lands for the purposes of a lot addition and an easement for access. The effect of which will create a 54.4 hectares (134.42 acres) retained parcel. The amalgamated parcel will measure 0.57 hectares (1.42 acres). The easement created would measure 6.0 metres in width for access to the amalgamated parcel. The Planner confirmed that a draft sketch was supplied with the original application. However, upon review of the final draft survey it is noted that there are two slight discrepancies, namely: 1. Top right of property is in Lake Eugenia but the severance numbers have been followed by the surveyor. There was confirmation that the top right of the property location is correct. 2. The original sketch of the road was squared off, however, the intent was to follow the road as it currently is, which the surveyor has done. The Planner and the Surveyor are in agreement that the original intent of the application was to follow the original laneway. The Planner is seeking approval from Committee members on the new draft survey that it does follow the original intent of the application in order to assist the applicant in completing the consent application process. COA 13-11 Clarke-Silverton RESOLVE That the Revised Draft Survey for B08.2012 Part Lots 31 & 32, Concession 8 in the Former Township of Artemesia be approved as presented.

Paul McQueen, Chair Deborah Crawford, Secretary- Treasurer Page 6 of 118 MunicipaliÇ of Grey Highlands Committee of Adjustment Planning Report PL.13.63 October 16, 2013 Application Details: Minor Variance Application No. A02.2013 Location: 115 Southland Club PaÉ Lot 1, Concession 7 Owner: Southland Social Club Agent: Neil Pitcher, N. Pitcher Designs Grey County Official Plan: Inland Lake and Shoreline Grey Highlands Official Plan: Inland Lake and Shoreline Zoning By-law No. 2OO4-5O: Residential Shoreline (RS-26) Purpose and Effect: To vary the provisions of Section t6.26 of the Municipality of Grey Highlands Zoning By-law to provide relief from the provision of maximum square footage for seasonal dwellings from 82.5 square metres to a proposed 95 square metres. To relieve the 82.5 square metre maximum dwelling size by 15olo to permit the maximum dwelling size permitted to be 95 square metres. Recommendation: That Minor Variance Application 402.2013 be DEFERRED. 1.O Planning Analysis: To assess the merits of this application the four (4) tests of a minor variance were reviewed in relation to the proposed development. The four (4) tests are as follows: . Is the request minor in nature? . Is the request desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure? . Is the request maintaining the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? . Is the request maintaining the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? 2.O Analysis: 2.L Is the request minor in nature? The assessment of an application in this regard, should consider the impact of the proposal on that of the adjacent properties, and the compatibility of the proposal with the surrounding land use of the area. The use of the word 'minor' must be reviewed on a site- specific basis relative to the immediate impact the approval of the variance would impose on the surrounding neighborhood. The Applicant has requested the Committee consider varying the provisions of Section L6.26 of the Municipality of Grey Highlands Zoning By-law to provide relief from the provision of maximum square footage for seasonal dwellings from 82.5 square metres to a proposed 95 square metres. The agent has provided a brief reason why the proposed development is unable to comply with the zoning requírements. The agent has indicated that as a designer, he is unable to fit the owners wishes to have a three bedroom cottage in the 82.5 square metre allowance and that with the additional square metres, he can accommodate the building code requirements and provide an attractive cottage. Minor Variance 402.2013 - (Southland Social Club) Page 1 of 5 Page 7 of 118 Municipality of Grey Highlands Committee of Adjustment Planning Report PL.13.63 October 16, 2013 The existing requirements related to square footage, relate to all residential units within the site. These limitations justified the original applications for seasonal dwellings on private seruices. As such, one can not review a single application at this time and conclude that it is minor. 2.2 Is the request desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure? The lands are located within the Southland Social Club. This is a development located on Irish lake. It is a Private Recreation Resort and ís subject to specific zoning provisions within Exception L6.26.
