Stone Mills agendas cover zoning, site plan rules and hall costs — but minutes are not yet published

Three Stone Mills meetings fall in the past two weeks, and all three are on the record as agendas only. Minutes have not been published for any of them, so no decisions, vote tallies or outcomes can be confirmed from the documents supplied. The items below are what the agendas say the bodies were set to consider.

Zoning and site plan rules before Council

Council's October 13 agenda lists a proposal to repeal Site Plan Control By-law 100 and approve a new Site Plan Control By-law. The same agenda lists Zoning By-law Amendment ZON2026-0002, which would change zones from Rural "RU" to Rural Exception 16 "RU-16" and Rural Exception 19 "RU-19". The agenda does not identify the properties affected.

Reserve fund allocations

Also on the October 13 Council agenda is authorization of 2026 surplus or deficit allocations for reserves including Fire, Roads, and Solid Waste Disposal. The agenda does not state the amounts involved or whether any surplus or deficit was recorded.

OPP detachment report

Tina Chamberlain is listed to present the OPP Detachment Board Annual Report to Council on October 13.

Hall rental policy and hall operating costs

At the October 13 Committee of the Whole, staff are to review a draft Facility Rental Policy, including garbage removal requirements, and an update to the Special Event By-law. The summary states staff are seeking direction on rental procedures before the policy is finalized at a future meeting. The Special Event By-law Update is scheduled for the November 9, 2026 Council meeting.

The same agenda lists operational costs for three township halls: Enterprise Hall at $35,470.99, Newburgh Hall at $39,179.92, and Tamworth Hall at $28,519.08. The record does not say over what period these costs were incurred or what they cover.

Minor variance MV2026-0006

The Committee of Adjustment met October 7 at 5:00 PM at the Municipal Offices, 4504 County Road 4, Centreville. Its agenda included one minor variance application, MV2026-0006, which staff recommend be provisionally approved subject to a condition that development follow the attached site plan. The agenda also listed adoption of minutes from the August 5, 2026 meeting.

The application form pages attached to the record are partly illegible, so the property and applicant details for MV2026-0006 cannot be confirmed from this record.

Parkland by-law noted

The October 7 Committee of Adjustment agenda includes notice that Council adopted By-Law No. 2026-1363, establishing a process for parkland conveyance and cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication. The item was listed as information only.

What is not confirmed

Because minutes are not yet published for the October 7 and October 13 meetings, this roundup cannot report what was approved, rejected, deferred or amended, and no vote counts are available. The record also does not establish the outcome of the MV2026-0006 recommendation or whether Council dealt with the site plan and zoning items as listed.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed in the supplied data for the next 14 days. The one future date in the record is the November 9, 2026 Council meeting, where the Special Event By-law Update is scheduled to be brought forward. Readers should check the Township of Stone Mills website for the official agenda and any added meetings before attending.
