Location

The key map below indicates the location of the lands which are subject to this application. The subject property is legally described as Part Lot 8, Concession 10 (Ennismore) having the municipal address of 626 Mallard Drive.

The Zoning By-law Amendment

The site is currently zoned Rural Residential (RR) Zone. The current owner has applied to the Township of Selwyn to re-zone the subject property to a site-specific Rural Residential Exception (RR-XX) Zone to permit a home occupation use in a detached garage. The application also proposes to increase the maximum building height of the proposed garage from 6 metres to 9.5 metres (to peak) and to reduce the front yard setback from 15 metres to 12 metres. Accessory structure lot coverage will also be increased from 5% to 8%. Furthermore, a reduced setback from the centre line of a public road will be needed in accordance with the front yard setback reduction.

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.
