The committee questioned the location of the Carpenter Pit and whether or not the license on it is still active. Ms. Whalen advised that no material has been taken from the pit for a number of years, but is unaware of the status of the license. Ms. Whalen advised that the solicitor for the estate would be able to provide additional information. And therefore they would have no objection to deferring the hearing until this information was obtained. Moved by D. Murphy Seconded by W. Guthrie THAT, B17/020 Carpenter be deferred pending receipt of additional information regarding the status of the Carpenter Pit License and the ‘occupational’ lines shown on the application sketch.” CARRIED (b) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Ms. Foss, Solicitor for the Estate advised that: 1. the little pit that shown adjacent to the south limit of the severance is not part of a standard gravel pit established under the Pits and Quarries Act. Kenny Poole (who did the field work) thinks that that small pit was just a location where someone at one time removed a little material; and, 2. The dotted line on the sketch represents the area where Robert Carpenter has items scattered about. G:\Consents\Staff Reports\2017 LDC Reports\B17-020, Carpenter - Reconvened.docx Page 1 of 5 Page 7 of 154 MINUTES ITEM # 7.7.2 The sketch below shows: 1/ Road to the “Carpenter Pit”; 2/ Pit Area – licensed; 3/ Area to be severed; and 4/ Small extraction area. The licenced pit area is approx. 270 m south of the southerly boundary lot line of the proposed consent. The Lanark Highlannds Official Plan provides that no ‘new’ development should occur within 300 m of a licenced pit without an ‘Impact Study”. G:\Consents\Staff Reports\2017 LDC Reports\B17-020, Carpenter - Reconvened.docx Page 2 of 5 Page 8 of 154 MINUTES ITEM # 7.7.2 The lot to be severed is already developed and any new development will be required to comply with the Official Plan Policies and Zoning By-law. It is recommended that an additional condition be included to acknowledge the existing ‘Carpenter Pit” – i.e. noise, dust etc. (c) MINUTES – August 8, 2017 No persons attended the re-convened hearing. Comments were received from agencies on the issues of taxes, entrance, civic addressing, agreement, etc. The comments were addressed through conditions to approve the application. Committee reviewed the staff report and draft conditions. The conditions were revised to add the words ‘if required’ to Condition No. 10. Committee considered all written and oral submissions received on this application, the effect of which helped Committee to make an informed decision. (d) DECISION & CONDITIONS DECISION: PROVISIONAL CONSENT IS GRANTED REASONS: Having determined that a plan of subdivision is not necessary for the proper and orderly development of the municipality, and having determined that the proposal is consistent with the policy statements issued under subsection 3(1) of the Planning Act, and having had regard to the matters under subsection 51(24) of the Planning Act.
