Mayor McIver welcomed Jack Van Dorp, Planner with Bruce County Planning, to the meeting via Zoom.
Mayor McIver asked the public to advise the Planning Department if they wish to be notified of any decisions or comments related to the application as the meeting is being held electronically rather than in person.
Jack Van Dorp stated that the application proposes to rezone a portion of a 7.6 hectare property at 136 Bradley Drive from PD (Planned Development) to R2 (Resort Residential) to permit a dwelling and detached garage within an established building envelope. He noted that a Site Plan Control area will also be established in addition to the special zoning amendment.
Jack Van Dorp advised that the building envelope was identified by the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority (GSCA) and comments were received from members of the public regarding the location of the building envelope. He informed that the comments were discussed with the property owner and they have agreed to identify a revised building envelope further to the north to address the concerns.
The Planner recommended that the public meeting be held at a later date due to the requests to relocate the building envelope.
Mayor McIver suggested that the application be deferred until the property owner can identify a different building envelope with less potential negative impacts.
