SUBJECT: REZONING – PART LOT 6, CONC XI – G & M MANNEKE
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 Elgin-St. Thomas Health Unit, requiring approval
of the sewage disposal system. Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority has no
objections. The Clerk noted the condition of the Health Unit is part of the conditions of
severance.
The Planner outlined the request to change the zoning of lands in Part Lot 6,
Concession XI, from the Agricultural (A1) Zone to the Rural Residential Three (RR3)
Zone and to the “site-specific” Agricultural (A1-41) Zone. The rezoning is a result of
conditions imposed by the County of Elgin Land Division Committee for a severance
application. The lands to be zoned Rural Residential Three (RR3) comprise a
rectangularly-shaped parcel having an area of 3,999 square metres (1.0 acres), a depth
of 60.5 metres (198.5 feet) and a frontage of 66.1 metres (216.9 feet) on Furnival Road
(County Road No. 103). The existing single unit dwelling (10375 Furnival Road) was
erected in 1989. The permitted uses of the RR3 Zone include a single unit dwelling, a
home occupation and an accessory use. The lot would satisfy the minimum lot area,
maximum lot area and minimum lot frontage requirements (1,850 sq. m., 4000 sq. m.
and 30 m. respectively) of the RR3 zone. The lands proposed to be zoned ‘site-specific’
Agricultural (A1-41) comprise the remainder of the farm having a frontage of
approximately 539 metres (1,768 feet) on Furnival Road and an area of 39.7 hectares
(98 acres). Buildings and structures include a single unit dwelling (22239 Thomson
Line) and three barns. The proposed ‘site-specific’ (A1-41) zoning would prohibit the
erection of a dwelling on this parcel in accordance with a condition imposed by the Land
Division Committee in granting Application for Consent E52/02. The subject lands are
designated Agricultural’ in the Township of Aldborough Official Plan. The proposed
amendment is considered to be in conformity with the Plan.
