An experience where the Town almost saw itself embroiled in a lengthy Ontario Municipal Board hearing with the upper-tier municipality has left a bad taste in their mouth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy fear is that the District recently took us to the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) for ignoring one of their conditions on a site plan,\u201d said Councillor Karin Terziano at the  April 13 meeting of the Town&#8217;s Planning Committee. She was referring to an earlier application where the District gave a development its approval contingent on a water and sewer servicing agreement being put in place. When the Town proceeded with approvals without the stipulation for a servicing agreement, the District of Muskoka gave notice that it was appealing the decision at the OMB.<\/p>\n<p>Planning Chair Nancy Alcock, in a conversation with Doppler, stated that it was simply a case of miscommunication.<\/p>\n<p>The buildings in question will be located at 114 Main Street West. The project\u2019s proponent, Bryan Harris, was before committee asking its members to approve the site plan so that a building permit could be issued as soon as possible. Missing still is the servicing agreement between the developer and the District, but Harris indicated that he is confident an agreement will be reached but in the meantime the delay is holding up valuable construction time.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13719\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13719\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13719\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/04\/mainstreet-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"The lands where the two, six unit buildings are proposed have a 44m frontage on Main Street West and comprise an area of about 3076m\u00b2.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/04\/mainstreet-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/04\/mainstreet-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/04\/mainstreet-1.jpg 779w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13719\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The lands where the two, six-unit buildings are proposed have a 44m frontage on Main Street West and comprise an area of about 3,076m\u00b2<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cA service agreement has been submitted although I understand it will take some time to get the approvals in place and dot the i&#8217;s and cross the t&#8217;s,\u201d he said. He asked committee to recommend the site plan approval so construction could begin in order to have the building ready for occupancy in late summer. He suggested the Town could ensure that a servicing agreement is in place before an occupancy permit is issued.<\/p>\n<p>Terziano asked Huntsville Manager of Planning Services Kristin Maxwell for input on the issue.\u201cTo be quite honest,&#8221; said Maxwell, \u201cI don\u2019t know that the District has the opportunity to appeal a site plan approval but I\u2019d have to check into that.\u201d She suggested that perhaps a conditional building approval might \u201cappease them (the District).\u201d She noted the decision would be one for Committee and Council to make.<\/p>\n<p>Councillor Jonathan Wiebe asked Harris how risky moving forward without a servicing agreement in place with the District might be for him. He responded, \u201cI am feeling very comfortable moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris said a servicing agreement has been delayed as a result of \u201cmany recent staff changes at the District and the changeover of a computer system.\u201d However, he indicated that he has been in touch with District Development Engineering Coordinator Brian Tucci and he is confident that an agreement will be reached.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause there were buildings on this property previously, the services already exist,\u201d he said, adding that existing  water services are inadequate and will need to be upgraded. \u201cI am aware of that. So, again, I am very comfortable proceeding at this point based on conversations with Brian Tucci.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Committee approved the site plan agreement and removed the servicing condition.<\/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>Attempts to speed up planning approvals in order to have two, six-unit apartment buildings ready for occupancy in late summer, was met with a bit of hesitation by Huntsville\u2019s Planning [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":13713,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[649,611,650],"class_list":["post-13710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-affordable-housing-huntsville-planning-committee","tag-development","tag-six-plexes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Committee asked to speed up approvals for construction of two six-plexes on Main Street - Huntsville Doppler<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/committee-asked-to-speed-up-approvals-for-construction-of-two-six-plexes-on-main-street\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Committee asked to speed up approvals for construction of two six-plexes on Main Street - Huntsville Doppler\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Attempts to speed up planning approvals in order to have two, six-unit apartment buildings ready for occupancy in late summer, was met with a bit of hesitation by Huntsville\u2019s Planning [...]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/committee-asked-to-speed-up-approvals-for-construction-of-two-six-plexes-on-main-street\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Huntsville Doppler\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HuntsvilleDoppler\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-04-16T12:44:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-04-18T15:57:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/04\/20160413_105512-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Tamara de la Vega\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@Hville_Doppler\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@Hville_Doppler\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Tamara de la Vega\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/committee-asked-to-speed-up-approvals-for-construction-of-two-six-plexes-on-main-street\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/committee-asked-to-speed-up-approvals-for-construction-of-two-six-plexes-on-main-street\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Tamara de la Vega\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/#\/schema\/person\/2b782f9c7568da44e264b6fc92035e8c\"},\"headline\":\"Committee asked to speed up approvals for construction of two six-plexes on Main Street\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-04-16T12:44:14+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-04-18T15:57:27+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/committee-asked-to-speed-up-approvals-for-construction-of-two-six-plexes-on-main-street\/\"},\"wordCount\":585,\"commentCount\":1,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/committee-asked-to-speed-up-approvals-for-construction-of-two-six-plexes-on-main-street\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/04\/20160413_105512-scaled.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"Affordable housing.
