As Committee is aware, defence of a planning decision can be complicated and require an inordinate amount of preparation time as well as time at a Hearing. Accordingly, legal representation can be very costly,\u201d stated Maxwell in her report to committee.<\/div>\n<p>Among the more prominent Huntsville files before the OMB is a 15-metre height exemption (up from 12 metres) that Jarlette Health Services is proposing as part of its Muskoka Landing expansion. Readers will recall that the proponent was repeatedly asked to return to committee with a smaller footprint and a lower building. At the last and final March 15 municipal planning meeting, and after some minor variations, Jarlette Health Services managed to get its planning approvals pushed through, but committee would not budge on the height exemption the proponent was requesting, despite staff\u2019s recommendation to approve it. You can find that story<a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/surprise-ending-to-muskoka-landing-height-exemption-application\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/a>.  Since that meeting, Jarlette Health Services has filed an application with the OMB to try and overturn the municipality\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the impact a height exemption in one area of the municipality might have on a proposed development in another, Maxwell said each development is reviewed individually. \u201cI know that the question of precedence is raised frequently at the committee level but there is no precedence when it comes to planning. Each application is evaluated based specifically on its own merit,\u201d she explained after the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Other outstanding files at the OMB include the development of the former Grandview Resort property. Approval for a setback reduction from the side lot line to the west is being appealed by a neighbouring property owner. The Eagle Ridge Development proposed on an estimated 20 acres of lands located along parts of Hanes Road and Centre Street North, as well as Shay Road, is also under an OMB appeal. The Town approved an Official Plan and zoning amendment allowing for a mixed use commercial development along those lands. The principals of Huntsville Place Mall are appealing the Town\u2019s decision. Their premise is that more commercial development is not needed in the municipality at this time. You can find that story <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/eagle-ridge-development-could-be-heading-to-the-ontario-municipal-board\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Other files at the OMB include the granting of a lot addition on Muskoka Road 10, which would create a lot with 10 feet of waterfront. Staff recommended against it and Council turned it down.The applicant is appealing that decision. Another application involves a single-family lot creation on Deerhurst Drive. Council and staff approved it and a neighbour has since appealed it at the OMB. Another hearing involves a right-of-way to a water access lot on Skeleton Lake. Staff recommended approval and Council approved it, but the decision is being challenged by a neighbour. See a chart of the appeals and whether council went with staff\u2019s recommendation below:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32787 \" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/06\/OMB-aooeaks-1-1024x434.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"697\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/06\/OMB-aooeaks-1-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/06\/OMB-aooeaks-1-1024x434.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/06\/OMB-aooeaks-1.jpg 1202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/>According to Maxwell, the municipality has defended a planning decision at the OMB in the past. In 2014 it hired legal counsel for an industrial rezoning request by HLD at 17 Golf Course Road. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning but in a recorded vote council turned down the request by one vote and it wound up at the OMB. See how council voted at its April 22, 2013 meeting below:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-32790\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/06\/HLD-recordedvote-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/06\/HLD-recordedvote-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/06\/HLD-recordedvote-1024x728.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/06\/HLD-recordedvote.jpg 1202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Town of Huntsville defended its decision. On January 16, 2014 the OMB in part ruled in favour of the applicant. It approved the rezoning with exceptions such as that the applicant could not store fuel or use the lands for a mechanic repair shop under the rezoning. It also indicated that the front yard setback should go from 15 metres to 68 metres and that the development would have to adhere to the Town of Huntsville&#8217;s design guidelines for Rural Special Industrial Areas, among other requirements. You can find the Board&#8217;s decision<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.omb.gov.on.ca\/e-decisions\/pl120579-Jan-16-2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Planning committee members unanimously agreed not to spend resources defending their current decisions under appeal at the OMB. There are currently major changes to how planning appeals will be heard underway. A report on those changes by the Province is expected to be brought back to Huntsville\u2019s Planning Committee at its July meeting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
