The Zoning By-law Amendment

The County of Peterborough has granted provisional approval for a new lot through County Land Division File No. B-14-22. Re-zoning is required as a condition of the provisional consent approval. The subject lands will be re-zoned from the Rural (RU) Zone to the Rural Exception 604 (RU-604) and Rural Residential Exception 605 (RR-605) Zone to permit reduced lot area and/or frontage requirements for the proposed severed and retained parcels, as needed. The (RU) Zone requires a minimum lot area of 20 ha and a minimum lot frontage of 200 metres. The (RR) Zone requires a minimum lot area of 4050 m2 and a minimum lot frontage of 45 metres. The proposed severed parcel will be 3900 m2 with 50 m of frontage on Sandy Point Road. The proposed retained parcel will be ±25.4 ha with 147.75 metres of frontage on Sandy Point Road.

If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Council of the Township of Selwyn to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Selwyn before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Selwyn before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
