Mike Mooser
STAFF PRESENT:
Joanne Groch, Administrator-Treasurer

ALSO PRESENT
: Ted Halwa, Planning Consultant
SUBJECT: PUBLIC MEETING
Also in attendance: Mr. & Mrs. Ossel
Mayor McPhail called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m. The Clerk informed those
present that notice of this meeting had been given under Section 34(12) of the Planning
Act by prepaid first class mail to all assessed owners within 150 metres of the subject
property as well as provincial agencies and ministries as prescribed by regulation.
Correspondence was received from the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority,
with no concerns. There was also a letter from the Elgin County Health Unit, which
stated that there was still an item to be completed as a requirement of the severance
proposal.
Ted outlined the request to change the zoning on the property located on the south-east
corner lot of Downie Line and Furnival Road, just north of Rodney, being part of Lot 7,
Concession VII from the current Agricultural (A1) Zone to the ”site specific” Rural
Residential Two (RR2-5) Zone. The rezoning is necessary to maintain compliance with
the Zoning By-Law and fulfill a condition imposed by the County of Elgin Land Division
Committee in granting permission to create a residential lot (Application for Consent
E3/01). The lands proposed to be zoned “site-specific” Rural Residential Two (RR2-5)
comprise a rectangular-shaped parcel, having an area of 2,515 square metres (0.6
acres), a frontage of 45.7 metres (150 feet) on Furnival Road, and flankage of 55 metres
(180.5 feet) on Downie Line. The parcel is occupied by a single unit dwelling constructed
in 1974. The “site-specific” zoning (i.e. RR2-5) is required to establish a standard with
respect to minimum side yard width, which would be reduced from 3.0 metres (9.8 ft.) to
2.0 metres (6.6 ft.). The subject lands are designated “Rural Residential” in the
Township of Aldborough Official Plan. The proposed amendment would appear to be in
conformity with the Plan.
Mr. Ossel advised those present that the ditching work, (referred to in the Health Unit
correspondence) was being completed this week.
