The proposed amendment to the Official Plan would change the designation of Part Lot 21, Concession 11 from Pits and Quar- ries to Agricultural. As well, the amendment would change the plan's policies as they relate to the subject property to allow for the granting of a 5.3 hectare (13 acres) severance for the purposes of establishing a single family residence and horse barn. Currently the Official Plan's policies only allow for the granting of form -related residential severances provided several conditions can be fulfilled. - The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would change the zon- ing of the subject property from General Agricultural (Al) to o defined area within the Al zone. The provisions applying to the defined area would recognize the 5.3 hectare size of the proposed severance and the non-agricultural nature of the pro- posed'single family residence. The Zoning By -low's provisions presently require a minimum lot area pf 20.23 hectares in areas of the Township zoned QS Al or alternately, 1,395 square metres for agricultural related residential uses. ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and: or make writ- ten or verbal representation either in support of, or in opposi- tion to the proposed change.
