Chair Kluge stated the first two items on the agenda are related and thus there will be joint discussion for both applications, and the committee will vote on two motions.
Town Planner Natalie Stopar provided an overview on the consent applications (B21-005/M, B21-006/M, B21-007/M) and minor variance application A23-116/M which are both for 11179 Guelph Line. The consent applications are required to facilitate the creation of three new lots and the minor variance application is required to permit the reduced minimum lot size for the three new lots that are being created.
The agent for the applicant, Jeff Kenny, address: 2620 Bristol Circle, Oakville provided an overview of both the consent applications and minor variance application.
Questions to Town Planner Natalie Stopar
Member Slaght asked if she is aware of any long-term monitoring that the Town or Region may do on residential lots within the municipality. Planner Stopar claimed she is not aware of this; however, the Town does not take jurisdiction over sanitary services, at that is taken care of by Halton Region. The town relies on Halton Region expertise for the approvals of the systems, such as what has been proposed, as well as for the decisions on monitoring. Member Slaght further asked, if it is the Town's responsibility to implement the building code. Planner Stopar stated this is correct.
Chair Kluge asked if private systems are also under the Region of Halton's responsibilities. Planner Stopar claimed the Town's official plan is very clear that where there is development proposed within the Hamlet areas, that is should only be permitted provided that all private water and wastewater services have been approved by Halton Region.
