Summer has not yet officially arrived, but music lovers are already looking to the fall season, as the Festival of Small Halls was announced this week. Among the festival highlights are concerts by the Alberta “Counterfeit Blues” man Corb Lund at the McDonalds Corners Agricultural Hall on October 7.

On the same night, Harry Manx will be playing a show at the Sydenham Legion.

The Harry Manx show is his only appearance at the festival, but music fans can opt for the Harry Manx show, and still see Corb Lund, but they will have to travel. Lund is also playing at the Manotick United Church on October 5, and at the Joshua Bate Centre in Athens on October 6.

At this meeting, Council will receive public comments (verbal and written) regarding a proposed amendment to Zoning By-law #55-19, as amended by the Township of North Frontenac pursuant to Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter P.13.

Purpose and Effect of the Proposed Zoning By-law

Amendment

The purpose is to undertake a housekeeping amendment to the Zoning By-law that will provide administrative updates for clarification. The full amendment package should be reviewed for all the details and is available as per the instructions below. The following is a brief summary of the proposed changes:

• The inclusion of new definitions and amendments to some existing definitions for the purposes of clarification and grammatical modification.

• Amendments to several general provisions for the purposes of clarification and grammatical correction (e.g., parking, boathouses, docks, waterfront structures, sleep cabins, lofts-above-a-garage, wetlands, pits and quarries).

• Technical corrections to the land use/zoning schedule (map).

• The removal of detailed provisions related to animal control, as these provisions are now regulated by the Animal Control By-Law.

• Adding “Day Nursey (Licensed)” and “Day Nursery (Private)” as permitted uses in several zones. Adding “Loft-Above-A-Garage” and “Sleep Cabin” as permitted uses in the Hamlet, Rural, and Limited Service Rural Zones.

Adding “Park Model Trailer” as a permitted use in the Recreational Commercial Zone and noting that the minimum lot area for park model trailers is the same as rental cabins.

• Adding provisions to the Environmental Protection Zone that don’t permit Live-Aboard or Float Homes and that limits the amount of time that vessels can be anchored or moored.
