John McDermott, Principal Planner, McDermott & Associates
Limited
J. McDermott, Principal Planner, McDermott & Associates Limited,
appeared via electronic connection to speak to Information Report 07-25,
on behalf of the owners of Four Seasons Country Club. J. McDermott
stated that the zoning on the new By-law 8149/24 was inconsistent with
the provisions that existed under By-law 3037, adding that the landowners
were requesting that the lands be zoned to recognize the historical use of
the property being for the purpose of a golf course and related banquet
facilities. J. McDermott noted that they were seeking approval for the
existing dwellings as well as the accessory building and structures
currently on the site. J. McDermott stated that the preference was to have
the lands zoned as a golf course zone through a site-specific exception as
the lands were currently not used for agricultural purposes. J. McDermott
stated that they had provided written submissions and were working with
City staff in hopes of resolving this matter.
M. Lau stated that City staff will be reviewing and responding to the written
submissions provided by J. McDermott.
