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 proposed amendments to the zoning by-law of the former Township of Stephen, and to allow interested members of the public the opportunity to ask questions or offer comments with regard to the applications

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.

Huron County Planner Sarah Smith advised that the purpose of the application is to change the zoning from AG1-General Agriculture to AG4-Agricultural Small Holding, to recognize a single detached dwelling as the main permitted use.  The subject lands are currently vacant.  The applicant wishes to construct a residential dwelling on the subject lands and use the parcel for residential purposes.

In response to a Councillor's question Ms. Smith advised that the lots to the east of the subject property would require separate applications for rezoning if the property owner(s) wish to change the zoning from AG1.
