The amendment also allows the hotel to be constructed up to 15.65 metres high. The building  would be accessed through Centre Street North and serviced by municipal water and sewer infrastructure.<\/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>The hotel property is roughly 1.064 hectares in area with 160 metres of frontage on Highway 60, and 40 metres of frontage on Centre Street North. The lot is currently vacant and mostly cleared with the exception of the southern side of the lot where vegetation has been retained, Town planner Curtis Syvret told committee at its October 11 meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lands sit at a considerably lower elevation than the lands to the south (Tim Hortons\/Capstone Market) and to the east (Highway 60), being located at the base of a hill. Further, due to the existing lot configuration, development would be located behind the Wendy\u2019s restaurant. The surrounding uses are commercial and light industrial,\u201d added Syvret.<\/p>\n<p>Technical background reports submitted in favour of the application include a storm water management plan, an illumination plan as well as a traffic impact review and Huntsville\u2019s Accessibility Advisory Committee also provided suggestions regarding the placement of curb cuts, according to Syvret.<\/p>\n<p>Councillor Jonathan Wiebe asked about pedestrian traffic. \u201cI notice that that intersection is signalized at present. Is there also a cross walk there and if so where would it be and how would the 92 guests that are staying there safely reach the rest of that development?\u201d he asked.  Syvret noted that there is a pedestrian cross walk on Centre Street North, which provides access to a sidewalk on Howland Drive.<\/p>\n<p>Committee chair, Councillor Nancy Alcock, questioned the industrial zoning of the lands and how commercial development would be addressed. Syvret said the hotel, as a commercial use, would be a permitted use in the area\u2019s Muskoka Commerce Park Industrial designation.<\/p>\n<p>Vegetation was also discussed. Wiebe asked about the type of vegetation that would be used, especially along Highway 60. Syvret said landscaping is proposed around the perimeter of the lot as well as adjacent to the building and along the pedestrian pathways.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough this plan they\u2019re proposing to plant 42 deciduous and coniferous trees or 400 ornamental shrubs and 150 perennial grasses. So it\u2019s quite a substantial vegetation plan and additionally the lands around this development are actually Town-owned, so there will still be a vegetated area around the lot as well as the edge of the MTO (Ontario Ministry of Transportation) corridor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Councillor Bob Stone questioned whether committee should ask that the revegetation along Highway 60 be bumped up. Staff said committee could, although Manager of Planning Services Kirstin Maxwell pointed out that there is a significant difference in elevation between the highway and the finished grade of the property, \u201cso that additional plantings would be below the level of the highway anyway, however there is no issue with us requesting additional planting as Curtis (Syvret) stated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Committee also heard that the applicant is exploring seeking further planning approvals for commercial or industrial development in the southern portion of the lot through a Vacant Land Condominium Plan. Such plans are approved by the District of Muskoka with input from the local municipality and would permit the applicant to sever part of the property to create a new independent lot with common elements such as a road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the Centre Street intersection, even though it\u2019s an extension labelled Howland Drive, it\u2019s private property and it\u2019s all part of this lot where the hotel is proposed, so the applicant would be proposing to do a vacant land condominium to subdivide that parcel into two lots with the common element being the road,\u201d explained Maxwell, adding that part of the agreement would also include an easement for parking along the southern property boundary.<\/p>\n<p>The site plan was approved in principle provided it is to the satisfaction of all commenting agencies and it receives final ratification by Huntsville Council.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38965\" style=\"width: 546px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38965\" class=\"wp-image-38965 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/10\/hotelsiteplan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"536\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/10\/hotelsiteplan-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/10\/hotelsiteplan.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 536px) 100vw, 536px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-38965\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hotel site plan.<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
