Mayor McPhail called the meeting to order at 7:20 p.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
which has no objections.
The Planner outlined the request to change the zoning of lands in Part Lot B,
Concession VII, Western Division, from the Agricultural (A1) Zone to the “site-specific”
Agricultural (A1-44) Zone. The rezoning is necessary to maintain compliance with the
Zoning By-law and fulfill condition imposed by the County of Elgin Land Division
Committee. The subject lands have an irregular depth and an area of 27.7 hectares
(68.4 acres) but does not have frontage on a public road. The parcel, which features
low-lying and wooded areas, is devoid of buildings and structures. Permitted uses of the
A1 zone include agricultural uses, forestry uses and a single unit dwelling. Access to
the parcel would be provided to Downie Line by means of a registered easement in
perpetuity over lands owned by the municipality. The ‘site-specific’ (A1-44) zoning
permits the creation of a lot which does not otherwise have frontage on a public roads as
required under Section 4.10 of the Zoning By-law and in accordance with a
corresponding condition imposed by the Committee in granting the Application for
Consent. The subject lands are designated ‘Aggregate Resources’ in the Township of
Aldborough Official Plan. The proposed amendment is considered to be in conformity
with the Plan.
