Elmer Harris, Owner,
Mill St., Orono, Ontario,
for part of Lots 16 & 17,
E. side Mill St.,
Village of Orono,
Township of Clarke,
Submission No. "A"22-72-13
As business arising from meeting May 23, 1972 this application
was brought forward for further consideration.
Mr. Elmer Harris, applicant, appeared in support of this
application. No other person appeared in support of, or in opposition
to this application.
As a matter of record the whole Committee inspected this
property on June 9, 1972 and the following facts were noted:.
1. This garage, with living accommodation is located
on a paved road in the Police Village of Orono,
Ontario;
2. The applicant wishes to build a home on the `same
lot as the garage and will, at that time, vacate
the living quarters on the second floor of the
garage and convert these quarters into a stock room;
3. The topography is such that the lot which lies on an
east -west axis falls away to the east so that the
rear of the lot is quite low;,
4. A house should be built as close behind the garage
as possible in order to be on the higher land;
5. The slope of the land to the rear is gradual;
6. An unopened road allowance runs east and west on the
north side of the applicant's property. This un-
opened road allowance runs only a short distance
beyond the applicant's property and terminates in
a low lying swampy area. It is difficult to believe ,
that this road allowance would ever be opened, for
it could not be extended since any entrance would
terminate in controlled access highway #115;
7. It would appear advisable to close the unopened road
allowance and give the applicant greater frontage
on the public street; as it is, the applicant has
frontage on the public street and the unopened road
allowance;
8. A "side benefit" here is that it would be good planning
to eliminate the non -conforming use of a living
quarters over a garage;
The Secretary -Treasurer presented the following material to
the meeting:
1. Correspondence from E.R.Woodyard, secretary Police

Submission No. "B"17-72
As business arising from minutes of May 23, 1972 meeting
this application was brought forward for further consideration.
No person appeared in support of, or in opposition to this
application.
As a matter of record the entire Committee inspected this
property on Saturday, June/Q, 1972 and the following facts
were noted:
1. The Committee had difficulty finding the area as
acpessibility was nearly non-existent;
2. The property is immediately adjacent to the Durham Forest
and the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority. It
is obviously an area that should not be highly populated,
but should be held as "greenbelt" or "semi -greenbelt";
3. Building "lots" should -be held to the 40 acre minimum;
4. The applicant has apparently purchased these lands for.
a family property;
5. Under both the Township By-law, the proposed Official
Plan and The Planning Act, the applicant is entitled to
a 40 acre lot. Any future application would have to be
dealt with on its particular merits, but, in the opinion
of the Committee, it is quite surprising that the
Ganaraska Authority did not purchase the property. The
land not having bden purchased by public authority, reasonable
development by a private purchaser, acting within exist-
ing planning guidelines, cannot be reasonably withheld;
6. The Committee, in order to comply with the spirit of
planning in the area would require a 5.year covenant
that the severed property will be used for single family
residence use only;
7. It is the Committee's understanding that the applicant
will be entering into re-foresting arrangements and that
is definitely in 'accordance with good planning in the area,
but the Committee makes no specific requirement at this
time that such agreements be signed, as they deem that
a planning function beyond their jurisdiction;
The Secretary was requested to ask the applicant to submit a proper
Plan of Survey of the Subject Land, certified by an Ontario Land
Surveyor and this application was adjourned awaiting the requested
material.

Meeting Committee of Adjustment June 12, 1972:
As a matter of record the entire Committee inspected this property on
Friday May 26, 1972 at 8:45 p.m. and the following facts were
noted:
1. The applicant previously applied to this Committee
(ref. "B"296-71-234 May 31, 1971) to sever his house
from an adjacent large area of ground which obviously
will be the subject of some kind of development in the
foreseeable future as it occupies a very advantageous
Position near the centre of the Police Village of Orono;
2. The applicant has now entered into a conditional -contract
for the sale of this land; the purchaser stipulating
that the vendor must secure the severance of three lots as
a condition precedent to closing the sale. The proposed
purchaser also, apparently, plans to apply for a proper
subdivision of the remaining lands;
3. The topography of the lots concerned is unusual in that
there is a very steep bank fronting on the street. The
proposed purchaser is apparently in the earth moving
business and he apparently intends to make these lots
useable by doing considerable earth movingr
The Secretary -Treasurer presented the following material to the meeting:
1. Correspondence from Robert A. Edmunds P. Eng., Counties'
Engineer and Road Superintendent "Reference is made to
your May 25th letter pertaining to the above applications.
Upon inspecting the site it is obvious that the property
is difficult to develop safely. The existing entrance
into Part 5 of the proposed "future plan of subdivision" is
very steep and unsafe for both the users of the County
Road and the users of the entrance. We recommend as
follows: (a) The property should be developed as a
complete unit and not in parts as proposed; (b) The three
lots (#1,2 and 3) should NOT be separated. Once separated
they will require three separate and unsafe entrances onto
County Road 72. (c) All lots in the proposed subdividon
including lots #192 and 3 should be serviced by a sub-
division street. Lot 5 which has already been developed,
should be serviced by a subdivision street if possible so
the existing entrance can be closed. (d) Any new entrance
onto County Road 72 (Lorraine Avenue or others) must be
designed and constructed to standards established by the
Ministry of Transportation and Communications. Copy of
standards for sideroad and private entrance enclosed.
(e) As a condition of approval the land owner should be
required to dedicate a strip of land at least 20 feet wide
adjacent to the County Road for road improvement purposes.
Yours truly (sgd"Robert A. Edmunds"
2. Correspondence from Police Trustee Board of the Village of
Orono under date June 8, 1972 "In answer to your letter of
May 25 to the Trustees of the Police Village of Orono:
On May,29th the Trustees held a special meeting to consider
the subject matter of your communication, and I have been
instructed to inform you as follows: The Trustees have no
objection to residential lots being created on Mr. Callanan's
property as they feel this area is ideal for such develop-
ment. However, they feel that development of this area should
be related to a master plan, and subject to approval of the
Clarke, Township Road Department and the County Engineer's
Office im Cobourg. (sgd. Edward R. Woodyard, Sec."
The Committee reviewed this correspondence with Mr. Callanan and
perused photostat plans of the standards for sideroad and private
entrances required. Mrs Callanan under oath stated that from a
conversation with Mr. Farrow of Municipal Planning Consultants Co. Ltd.,
that any number of severances up to 4 could be granted by the Committee
of Adjustment. In order to clarify this point the Secretary was
instructed to correspond with Mr. Farrow regarding this matter. Mr.
Brown, also present at this meeting, was requested by the Committee
fo consider from a engineer's stand point, the comments raised by the
County Engineer and this application was adjourned until the next
meeting

"Art Studio" on week -ends only and the application was granted.
(refer to Submission 11A118-72-9).

Meeting Committee of Adjustment June 12, 1172:
`2'. There are 10 members in the Club and there is
no intention, of course, of increasing beyond
that number;;
3. This is not a commercial venture, but strictly
private. The members all have a common interest
in fishing and wish to have their families enjoy
the beauties of this property and introduce them
to the pleasure of fishing;
4. We have worked with the Department of Lands &
Forests and other Departments in order to get a
good pond which will not pollute the stream.
There will be no thermal pollution to the Wilmot
Creek;
5. The purpose of the construction of the unit
where it is, as presented by Mr. McMullan, was
for esthetic reasons. We had checked with
Government Authorities to find if this would be
feasible and the medical officer of health was
satisfied. It was indicated that if located any
farther west it might be in too low of ground;
6. The septic tank is actually located in excess
of the 100' requirement. We have always indicated
that the septic tank would be located in excess
of requirements. -Had there been any indication
of objections from the parties, we would not have
located the septic tank where it is.
Mr. I. Gleiberman introduced Mr.' Robert Hann to the Committee
remarking that he is a professional witness with a basic
interest in that " we are both avid fishermen".
Mr. Hann, under oath, stated that he was a builder and familiar
with topographidal problems. Together with Mr. Gleiberman, Mr.
Hann indicated on a plan of the proposed building a projected
verandah being that part of the building nearest to the pond,
approximately 251.
Mr. Hann verbally agreed with Mr. Gleiberman that the members of
the Fishing Club wish to keep this property as a conservation area
and have worked with the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests
Fish and Wildlife Branch and the Ganaraska Region Conservation
Authority to this end.
Following further discussion this application was adjourned to
enable the Committee to inspect the property again. An appointment
will be made with the members and the Committee will be notified
of the time and the date.
