MINUTES: Meeting for the Committee "Open Council'
•
Mr. Michiels and Mr. Shnider appeared before Council. Opportunity was provided for
questions and comments from Council.
•
In response to a question regarding the appeal process, Mr. Shnider explained that the board
that would hear an appeal on any zoning matter is the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), and
there is a process that the Board goes through for an appeal. Also, there are opportunities for
the OMB to investigate matters before going to a full hearing. If the OMB feels the reason for
an appeal is reasonable, it would schedule a hearing as such.
•
Appeals to the OMB, have to be made within 20 days following third and final reading of the
by-law.
•
The zoning on some specific properties was discussed.
•
With respect to possible contamination of sites, it was noted that we rely on the Ministry of the
Environment (MOE) to provide information.
•
In response to Mayor Molnar, Mr. Shnider made comment that he is satisfied with the
definitions and terminology being used in the by-law.
•
Mr. Michiels noted that legislation constantly changes. Therefore, Official Plan amendments
may be yearly, just to keep in step with Provincial legislation. We will likely see a
housekeeping amending by-law on a yearly basis.
•
Mayor Molnar noted that he had additional questions, and would email Mr. Shnider with those.
•
Mr. Shnider added, if there is something Council wishes to re -visit, there will be opportunities
for that.
•
A report to be prepared for October 9th.

Presented By: Mr. Harry Shnider, Planner, County of Oxford

The owner of the subject property, Ms. Nicole Vanacker, appeared before Council. She
noted that they had purchased the house six years ago, with the assumption that the
existing sunroom had gone through the proper legal process. She noted that there are
two reasons she is before Council at this time. The first reason is to ask for the building
permit, and the second is to request a reduction in the fee that she paid, as she is now
paying for a Minor Variance for a larger piece than what they are adding on. She added
that it was suppose to have been paid for.
In response to a question from Mayor Molnar, Mr. Shnider noted that an additional fee
had been applied, for an after -the -fact application.
