Mayor Cole called the meeting to order at 6:03 p.m.

The Clerk advised that the purpose of this Public Meeting is to review an application for a proposed amendment to the zoning by-law of the former Township of Usborne, and to allow interested members of the public the opportunity to ask questions or offer comments with regard to the application.

It was noted that Council will not make a decision at this meeting. Based on recommendations and information received at this meeting an amending by-law will be presented for approval at the regular Council meeting.

A Public Registry is available, if any member of the public would like to be notified in writing of the decision on the applications they are required to provide their name and mailing address on the registry. A person or public body may appeal the decision if they have made an oral submission at this Public Meeting or a written submission to Council prior to the passing of the by-law.

Ms. Smith reviewed her report noting the purpose of this application is to change zoning from I1, Institutional, to AG4, Agricultural Small Holding to permit a residential use as the main permitted use on the property.  The subject lands currently house a vacant school that is no longer in operation.  The intent is to remove this existing structure and construct a new residential dwelling on the subject lands.
