[1:14] Um I guess uh opening remarks from the
[1:20] chair as just said welcome everybody and we're glad to have you and we will deal
[1:25] with this asiently as we can. Um Raymond, are you uh on track?
[1:36] You Mr. Mayor >> I will turn the uh meeting over to you
[1:44] to go through the amendment process. >> Um one thing can we get a motion to
[1:50] adopt the agenda please? >> Oh sure sure we can.
[1:55] » Okay. >> Brian and uh John.
[2:02] » Wonderful.
[2:06] Okay.
[2:09] All right. I will I guess this is um we have new format now. So, we actually get
[2:14] to post our stuff on the on the website um what seven days prior now, I guess.
[2:21] So, this has been out there for for quite a while.
[2:25] Anyways, um okay. So, we have a zoning amendment application has been received
[2:30] from Jason and Melissa Car to permit two existing sheds that are not currently
[2:36] accessory to a dwelling to remain as located on a temporary basis for up to
[2:41] three years during the construction of their dwelling.
[2:46] Um, our zoning bylaw uh does not permit a accessory structure to be on the
[2:52] property prior to the uh direction of a dwelling. Um
[2:58] 6.3B um refers to the setback
[3:05] uh from the front lot line and 6.3J states that travel trailers may only be
[3:12] used in accordance with this section in zones that permit residential uses must
[3:16] be clearly secondary to a residential use and may be permitted by the travel
[3:21] or the trailer licensing bylaw. Um, two two existing sheds have been located
[3:27] within the subject property having a front yard setback of plus or minus
[3:31] 18.29 m and are currently not accessory to a primary dwelling. Therefore, an
[3:37] amendment is required to permit the two existing sheds to remain as located on a
[3:42] sight specific basis on a temporary use for up to three years during the
[3:47] construction of their drawing. is existing travel trailer has been located
[3:52] within the subject property without a uh an approved travel trailer permit and
[3:59] the municipality has advised that permit will be required. Um
[4:05] and you go further into the subject lands
[4:12] which uh was surveyed as parts 10 to six and is irregularly shaped.
[4:19] Um it's uh the lands of but uh Twin Harbors
[4:24] Road which is seasonally maintained um beyond which are agricultural and
[4:30] shoreline residential zones characterized by bush single detached
[4:35] buildings. The property is abudded west by rural
[4:40] residential residences sorry and bush to the south is Pville road west
[4:47] on which are vacant agricultural zones. Uh moving forward
[4:57] now, right? Uh we'll go back. I can just carry on right to the recommendations
[5:02] and then we'll >> you're break you're breaking up on this.
[5:08] » Apologies. >> Yeah. Um okay, we'll move to the
[5:13] recommendation planning board on five. Um the municipality may consider the
[5:19] travel trailer to remain within the property by issuing a trailer permit
[5:23] under the trailer licensing bylaw providing there are no extenduating or
[5:29] additional information to be considered. This proposal does not appear to
[5:32] precipitate or cause any undesirable effects on the planning area.
[5:40] Based on the affformentioned analysis, it is recommended the subject
[5:44] application be approved by council. If in their
[5:48] judgment proposal was favorable to the advancement and well-being of the
[5:52] municipality meant to permit on a sight specific
[5:56] basis two sheds not accessory to a dwelling to remain as located as a
[6:02] temporary use for up to three years during construction of
[6:09] I'll turn it over to you. >> Thanks Raymond.
[6:15] Uh that was a fairly fast uh process. Uh I have one question and maybe you
[6:22] know it maybe you don't Raymond but I imagine you do. It's saying that the
[6:27] average pumping rate for the well surrounding wells is 28.18
[6:35] uh lers per minute. What is a an acceptable bump rate?
[6:42] Uh actually don't know that off the top of my head. Um I can uh
[6:49] » Good question. I don't actually I don't know the answer to that Richard right
[6:52] now. Mr. Mayor. >> Okay. Well, that'll that's just a
[6:57] question for my interest in the first place. So, we won't do anything radical
[7:03] about it. Um any council member have any questions?
[7:10] Ryan, >> I think quite pick up some of what
[7:13] Raymond was saying. So, right now they have all their permits in order for
[7:19] » No, they don't have >> they have the trailer permit.
[7:21] » They don't have the trailer permit and the two h the two sheds are not in
[7:29] compliance with with our current bylaw, but that's the reason for the request
[7:36] for an amendment. I understood that they had some permits
[7:40] or or Raymond was talking about permits. So
[7:44] » I do believe >> now I do believe they are in the process
[7:49] of speaking with Sue regarding the uh trailer permit.
[7:54] » Okay. So it's in progress.
[7:58] » Yes, I believe so. >> For the trailer permit. That's all. And
[8:02] then you're here and they're here for the two um
[8:08] » leave the two buildings that they're existing until they do their their uh
[8:14] » permits. So if they have a trailer per uh or they
[8:20] have a construction permit, then that takes one of these out or the the
[8:25] trailer out of the tenant. [clears throat] So either either
[8:32] » anyone else. >> Don't you think that 3 years is a long
[8:37] time to to leave for construction period?
[8:47] » I can answer Mr. Mayor. Um, according to the according to the
[8:52] planning act, there is provisions in there for a temporary use bylaw for up
[8:57] to three years.
[9:01] » So, it gives the components a chance to um use like uh use their property and
[9:07] get a feel of where they would like to build their home and to, you know,
[9:11] potentially save up to build their home, I guess.
[9:17] And considering that they've owned the property since June of 2020 is not
[9:25] exactly expecting too much, I don't think
[9:32] anyone else
[9:37] anything more, Raymond, that you need to know.
[9:41] No, actually this one I figured was pretty uh pretty much straightforward.
[9:46] We have we have done one of these in the past where we allowed a three-year
[9:52] period and it worked out it worked out pretty well.
[9:59] » Well, if there's nothing more then I guess we uh can conclude the
[10:07] » have the opportunity for public comment. >> Okay. Come on.
[10:12] » Does anybody want to speak >> or forever hold your peace?
[10:20] » John, >> one comment. Uh the uh 20 28 L is like
[10:24] six gallons a minute. So I think we have a well that's down within the we just
[10:29] put in is only like a gallon and a half. So they have plenty of water for a
[10:35] single house. So the 28's a good a good month, but thanks.
[10:39] » Not sure the quality of the water, but >> well, we can't do anything about that.
[10:45] » I imagine that's been checked.
[10:51] All right. So, uh, council comments completed, public comments,
[10:59] none. And the chair's closing remarks is again
[11:04] thanks Raymond for your diligence and uh planning board are in agreeance that it
[11:11] is a a doable and a recommended process. So we will leave it at that.
[11:18] » Will we have to send our recommendation to the planning board?
[11:21] » No, the uh well there's a bylaw that's passed in council. It's on the agenda.
[11:25] » Okay. We we'll do the bylaw and that'll be the backward
[11:31] info. So, uh I guess all I need is an
[11:37] adjournment to this. Thanks.
[11:43] » Yep.
[11:47] » We're going to break for five minutes while I reset the reporting for the
[11:50] council meeting. Okay. >> We will be dealing with the bylaw later
[11:54] on. So you folks want to hang by then we'll be glad to have you as part of our
[12:00] our group.
[12:13] » Oh my god. You got one of those two warehouse things.
[12:23] with the beer. All right.
