Moved by Councillor Revill, seconded by Deputy Mayor Sutherland
Carried
McDougall THAT Council amend draft plan condition #1 to read 8 lots. And add the sentences (two paragraphs): The smaller number of lots is necessary due to 1) the history of poor water quantity and quality in the Hartington Community; 2) the lack of a clear source for the relatively high levels of nitrates 3) the real possibility that the existence of nitrates may be from nearby aging residential septic systems, a condition that will not diminish over time; and 4) the fact of it being an “inferred karst” region next to a known karst region with thin soil cover, necessitate a conservative evaluation of back ground nitrate concentrations. 13 lots is the maximum number of lots that would be permitted on the site under ideal conditions using existing guidelines while a conservative estimation of nitrate concentration based on measured well levels would permit 8 lots. This smaller size of development provides a more reasonable expectation of long term water safety for the residents of the proposed subdivision and the surrounding houses. Delete condition #6 Amend condition #9 to read “that a prohibition on cutting the mature trees except with the explicit permission of the Township placed on title of the lots abutting the K&P trail. Amend condition #12 to read “That all conditions outlined in the letters dated June 2, 2015 from Quinte Conservation Authority to the County of Frontenac, be addressed to the satisfaction of the Municipality including the requirement for a draw down tes
