The applicant applied for these amendments and as per Section 34(18) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, as amended, notice shall be given to any prescribed person or public body who has the right to appeal these by-laws.

Purpose and Effect:
The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment will have the effect of amending the current zoning from the site specific Village Residential exception 11 (VR-11) and Shoreline Residential exception 8 (SR-8) to Village Residential and Shoreline Residential respectively. The current site-specific zoning allows for up to 4 dwellings on the subject property. The property was granted provisional consent on May 2, 2023, a condition of the consent is to rezone the properties back to VR and SR.

At this time, this property it subject to a Consent and Minor Variance file under the Planning Act, pertaining to these lands being files B-2/23 and A-10/23. Public comments received regarding the opposition to the creation of roadway were considered at the public meeting as well as concerns regarding septic space. The septic systems were designed by a licensed installer as part of the consent application, the owners are required to obtain septic permits as a condition of consent, and access will be addressed through a consent agreement as a condition of the consent.

Appeal process:
Only individuals, corporations or public bodies may appeal a decision of the municipality or planning board to the Ontario Land Tribunal. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the zoning amendments were adopted, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Land Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.
