Written Submissions either in support of or opposition to the application must be received prior to the Public Meeting and can be submitted to administration.

The purpose of the Public Meeting will be to consider zoning by-law amendment application PLZBA2023025 pursuant to Section 34 of the Planning Act as follows:

PLZBA2023025 – Part Lot 26, Concession 6, Geographic Township of Minden Hills, being a vacant lot on Shipley Drive and having roll numbers 4616-031-000-42700 and 4616-031-000-43100; and being on Kashagawigamog Lake (see Key Map).

Purpose and Effect of the Application: The subject property is currently zoned ‘Rural’ and is located primarily within the Waterfront and Rural designation of the Township’s Official Plan.  The zoning by-law amendment is submitted to fulfill a condition of consent application H-028-22, which would serve to sever a portion of Part Lot 26, Concession 6 for the purpose of a lot addition benefiting an adjacent property, being 1090 Shipley Drive. The proposed amendment would serve to rezone the lands from ‘Rural (RU)’ to ‘Shoreline Residential (SR)’ to provide uniform zoning on the resultant enlarged lot.

Additional Information regarding this application is available for public inspection at the Township of Minden Hills Building and Planning Department by appointment only.

Any Person may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.

If a Person Or Public Body does not make oral submission at a public meeting or make written submission to the Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills to the Ontario Land Tribunal.

If a Person Or Public Body does not make oral submission at a public meeting, or make written submission to the Council for the Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills 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.
