The applicant is proposing to construct a 1,004 square metre addition to their existing 741 square metre vehicle dealership building located at 69 Centre Street North. They also plan to reconfigure their vehicle sales, parking and display areas on their abutting lands to the north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dealership, which has existed in that location since 1988, is grandfathered as an existing non-conforming use, explained Huntsville manager of planning Richard Clark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The applicants were before committee asking to rezone the lands in order to recognize and facilitate the dealership\u2019s expansion. Clark said under Huntsville\u2019s Official Plan, motor vehicle dealerships are generally intended to be concentrated in the Eagle Ridge mixed-use corridor, \u201cnevertheless expansion of the dealership can be deemed to conform with our Official Plan provided that the expansion is to prevent undue hardship and that it will not aggravate any existing concerns resulting from the non-conforming use; it will not result in any incompatibility or be detrimental to abutting uses or interfere with desirable development of those adjacent lands,\u201d he told committee. \u201cThe expansion must also be reasonable in proportion to the existing use and the land on which it is located.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning staff suggested a vegetative buffer and privacy fencing be put in place between abutting lands for visual screening purposes and, among other things, suggested a small landscape feature be put in place at 81 Centre Street North, which will be opened up with the removal of the building on the lot.  Adding a landscaping feature would also help enhance the intersection of West Road and Centre Street North \u2013 a feature which Councillor Dan Armour suggested could also include a memorial bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The building on 77 Centre Street North would also be removed to accommodate expanded parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clark said the application was circulated to abutting property owners and stakeholders and no comments were received. The District indicated it had no objections provided that a public car wash not be allowed on the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gallagher told committee his client had looked at other properties but nothing materialized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs you may or may not be aware, Toyota has had a presence in Huntsville for many years. It\u2019s the only [Toyota] dealership between Orillia and North Bay. In 1988 they moved from Hwy. 60 over to this location and built a new building and have been operating there ever since,\u201d said Gallagher, adding that a lighting, landscaping and stormwater management plan will form part of the site plan application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per the Town\u2019s sidewalk master plan, Gallagher said his applicant would be willing to work with the Town in order to put something in place between Centre Street North and Winona Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gallagher quipped about the Huntsville portion of the project\u2019s development charge cost, and what could be done with that money in terms of sidewalk and pedestrian connectivity enhancements, something planning staff and committee members have been asking for as part of commercial planning approvals.  But most importantly, said Gallagher, &#8220;is that this business will keep its foot firmly in Huntsville and provide the level of service and employment opportunity that they have throughout the years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gallagher said his applicant is excited to get the project moving. \u201cI know the Festings have been getting a lot of pressure from head office to get this project up and running and they\u2019ve been adamant that they\u2019ve been trying to keep this location in Huntsville because of their history here,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michelle Festing told committee that the dealership has been in Huntsville since 1980. She said she and her brother took it over when their father died. She also said the new plan for the dealership will enhance the look of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur intention is to get this done as quickly as possible so that we can move forward for Toyota\u2019s sake and ours because we are actually out of space here and we need to hire more employees which at this point we have nowhere to put them,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huntsville Mayor Karin Terziano and Councillor Armour said they were glad the dealership would be staying in Huntsville. Terziano also said she was pleased the building would remain a single-storey. Armour thanked the applicants and said the plan would clean up that part of Town. \u201cWell done,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Committee unanimously approved the zoning amendment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find staff&#8217;s planning report to commettee <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/03\/Z_04_2022_HTE-Festing-Toyota-69-77-_-81-Centre-Street-North-1.pdf\">here<\/a><\/span> (pdf).<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toyota dealership in Huntsville is expanding.
