Dysart et al meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Dysart et al agendas list 30 km/h limit, zoning amendments and museum roof; no decisions yet on record

No decisions, votes or dollar amounts are on the record from Dysart et al's three meetings held October 13 to 15. Only agendas have been published for each; minutes are not yet available. What follows is what each body was scheduled to take up, as listed on those agendas.

Regular Council — October 13

Council's agenda listed several zoning by-law amendments, a road-closing application, a proposed speed limit and a funding request:

• **By-law 2026-86:** a proposed 30 km/h speed limit in Haliburton-By-The-Lake.
• **Zoning by-law amendments** for Camp Adelaide Ltd., Robard, and Beachli Derek Trustee.
• **By-law 2026-89:** a severance agreement for Miller's Lake Conservation Association.
• **Road Closing By-Law 2026-61:** an application to purchase a shore road allowance at 1056 Argillite Rd.
• A **funding request** from the Paudash Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club for a survey.

The agenda does not state what staff recommended on any of these items, and no amounts were attached to the snowmobile club request in the material provided.

Committee of Adjustment — October 14

The committee was scheduled to review four minor variance files. A minor variance is a permission allowing a specific property to depart slightly from a zoning by-law's requirements.

• **D13-MV-2026-015:** a request for a 4.6 square metre deck encroachment within 10 metres of the high water mark at 1206 Peninsula Road, on the Drag River.
• **D13-MV-2026-016:** 1014 Constance Road, Township of Harcourt.
• **D13-MV-2026-017:** 1003 Champion Trail, Township of Harburn.
• **D13-MV-2025-032:** 1036 Ann Road, Township of Harcourt.

The agenda summaries do not describe what each variance would allow, beyond the deck encroachment file, and do not indicate whether any applicant made a presentation.

Glebe Park and Museum Committee — October 15

The committee's agenda covered updates to its current work and management plans, including park signage and deer impact assessments. Items listed were:

• A **proposed 2027 committee budget**.
• A **right of way request** for Bishop and McMaster.
• A **delegation** on the Haliburton County Newspaper Digitization Project.
• A **proposed new roof** for the 1870s log cabin at the museum farmstead, listed as part of the 2027 budget discussion.

No budget figures, roof cost estimates or timelines appear in the agenda material provided.

What the record does not show

Agendas set out what a body intends to consider; they do not establish outcomes. For all three meetings, the supplied material contains no motions, no recorded votes, no resolutions and no dollar figures. That absence reflects unpublished minutes, not evidence that nothing was decided. Readers should check the municipality's published minutes for the disposition of each item.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed in the material provided for the next 14 days. Residents who want to follow the files above — particularly the Haliburton-By-The-Lake speed limit, the Argillite Rd. shore road allowance application and the museum's 2027 budget request — should watch for posted minutes and the next council agenda on the municipality's website.

Dysart et al agendas take up 30 km/h speed limit, zoning files and 2027 budget requests

Dysart et al council and three of its committees were scheduled to meet over the past two weeks, with agendas covering a proposed 30 km/h speed limit, several zoning and minor variance files, and 2027 budget requests from two committees. Minutes have not been published for any of the four meetings, so the material available records what was up for discussion, not what was decided. No votes or outcomes are included in the supplied records.

Council: speed limit, zoning amendments and a shore road allowance

Regular Council met on Oct. 13 with a packed agenda. Among the items listed was By-law 2026-86, a proposed 30 km/h speed limit in Haliburton-By-The-Lake.

Also on the agenda was Road Closing By-Law 2026-61, an application to purchase a shore road allowance at 1056 Argillite Rd., and a funding request from the Paudash Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club for a survey.

Committee of Adjustment: four variance files

The Committee of Adjustment met Oct. 14 to consider four minor variance applications.

The first, D13-MV-2026-015, is a request for a 4.6 square metre deck encroachment within 10 metres of the high water mark at 1206 Peninsula Road.

The remaining files are D13-MV-2026-016 for 1014 Constance Road in the Township of Harcourt, D13-MV-2026-017 for 1003 Champion Trail in the Township of Harburn, and D13-MV-2025-032 for 1036 Ann Road in the Township of Harcourt.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed in the schedule supplied for the next 14 days. Residents who want to attend or delegate should check the Municipality of Dysart et al's published notices and agendas for confirmation of dates, times and locations before a meeting.

Across all four meetings covered here, the records available are agendas only. Whether any of the proposed bylaws, variances, budget items or requests were approved, amended or deferred is not established by the material reviewed, and readers should consult the official minutes once posted.
