The lands are currently vacant and zoned as Future Urban in Huntsville\u2019s Official Plan and the applicant, Ian Karns, is seeking a Special Industrial designation on a new lot in order to develop a contractor\u2019s yard and paint area.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Committee approved a consent application at its April 12 meeting, despite staff\u2019s recommendation against it, which paved the way for the severance of land and the creation of a new 0.8 hectare industrial lot at 625 Golf Course Road.  The new lot will include 74 metres of frontage on Golf Course Road, 92 metres of frontage on Earls Road as well as 82 metres along Highway 60. The remainder of the property, or retained lands, comprises about 43 hectares in area with 968 metres of frontage on Golf Course Road and 1,185 metres of frontage along Hwy 60. The applicant is further seeking Official Plan and zoning amendments to proceed with plans to develop the newly created lot.<\/p>\n<p>Manager of Planning Services Kirstin Maxwell told committee that staff were recommending the applications be denied, citing that the development would have to be serviced by private well and septic as services are not yet available in that area. She also cited the possibility of a significant variation between what the applicant is proposing versus the Town\u2019s Official Plan designation for those lands.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30802 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/05\/Golf-Course-Road1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/05\/Golf-Course-Road1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/05\/Golf-Course-Road1-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/05\/Golf-Course-Road1.jpg 1202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u201cThe lands are designated &#8216;Future Urban&#8217; in the Official Plan.  The Future Urban designation was applied as a form of holding category to limit urban development, to ensure that lands in other designations that were already serviced could be built out and new development in the Future Urban Areas could be carefully considered, with development principles established through a secondary plan. No secondary plan was proposed nor any consideration for future development on the adjacent lands, and no details on how this area would develop comprehensively,\u201d she added in an email to Doppler.<\/p>\n<p>She told committee that staff had negotiated some parameters with the applicant such as limiting the location for the contractor\u2019s yard and paint booth, a two metre buffer along the edge of Hwy 60 and narrowing the scope of the industrial uses permitted on the new lot. She also noted that a holding provision would be placed on the lands so that it could not be further developed without connecting to municipal water and sewer services. Maxwell also told committee that the retained lands from the severed lot would contain a holding provision subject to a secondary and more comprehensive plan being developed for the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe applicant is amenable to these changes that have been discussed and staff continue not to have changed their recommendation about recommending approval, however this is a better plan,\u201d she told committee.<\/p>\n<p>Maxwell also told committee that areas designated as Future Urban in the Town\u2019s Official Plan would be considered during the plan\u2019s overall review, in terms of their preferred use and whether an expansion of water and sewer services to such areas should be considered.<\/p>\n<p>Committee asked the applicant and his representative, Lanny Dennis, to provide further information. Dennis said the idea is to construct roughly a 5,000 square foot, on level, building that would include the contractor\u2019s office and paint area with the lot being accessed off Golf Course Road. Dennis told committee that they are aware that the area is a highly visible part of town and assured committee that the building would be aesthetically pleasing employing a high architectural design standard. He also noted that a 20-metre buffer from Hwy 60 would be established along with additional setbacks, especially along Golf Course Road. \u201cThe idea would be to put a building within the existing vegetation so that it is well hidden and buffered from view,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Committee members seemed to favour moving forward with development in that area but expressed some trepidation about going against staff\u2019s recommendation as well as the type of development proposed. Councillors Jason FitzGerald and Nancy Alcock spoke to the fact that there are already many mixed use developments in the urban area of the town and Alcock noted that the zoning for the Eagle Ridge development proposed on the other side of the highway had also received the Town\u2019s approval for some light industrial use.<\/p>\n<p>Dennis told committee that there is still opportunity to guide the type of development for that area. \u201cAll this does, in my opinion, is just provides the impetus for moving development forward to the north, which seems to be the way it is going,\u201d he said, adding that ultimately the connection of municipal sanitary and water services, which currently exists on Earls Road, will likely follow.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, and despite staff\u2019s recommendation, committee recommended to council that it approve the zoning change for the severed lot from a rural to a light industrial designation with limited uses. The applications will make their way to Huntsville Council at its May meeting for final ratification. A request for a site plan approval is expected to follow, once the zoning and Official Plan amendments have been approved by council and the District of Muskoka.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
