SUBJECT: REZONING – PART LOT 23, CONC X - DARDARIAN
The Mayo 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, indicating that
their conditions have been satisfied. Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority has
no objections.
The proposed amendment would change the zoning of lands lying on the north side of
Thomson Line west of Dunborough Road, being part of Lot 23, Concession X, from the
Agricultural (A1) Zone to the Special Agricultural (A2) Zone and to the ‘site-specific’
Agricultural (A1-#54) Zone. The re-zoning is necessary to maintain compliance with the
Zoning By-law and to fulfill a condition imposed by the County of Elgin Land Division
Committee. The Committee granted permission to sever a parcel occupied by an
existing single unit dwelling and accessory building out of a larger 20.2 hectare (50 acre)
parcel for the purpose of disposing a surplus farm dwelling (Application for Consent
E72/04). The criteria to create for a lot to dispose a surplus farm dwelling under the
Township of Aldborough Official Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement have been
satisfied.
The lands proposed to be zoned Special Agricultural (A2) comprise a rectangular-
shaped parcel having an area of 6,317 square metres (1.6 acres), a depth of 121.9
metres (400 ft) and a frontage of 51.8 metres (170 feet) on Thomson Line. The lot is
occupied by a single unit dwelling (circa 1912), garage, greenhouse, shed and barn. The
permitted uses of the A2 zone include a single unit dwelling, a home occupation, an
agricultural use and an accessory use. The lot would satisfy the minimum lot area,
maximum lot area and minimum lot frontage requirements (4,000 sq. m., 1.0 ha & 50 m
respectively) of the A2 zone.
The lands proposed to be zoned ‘site-specific’ Agricultural (A1-#54) comprise the
remainder of the lands having a frontage of 244 metres (800 feet) on Thomson Line and
an area of 19.6 hectares (48.4 acres). The proposed ‘site-specific’ (A1-#54) zoning

would prohibit the erection of a dwelling on the lands in accordance with the Official Plan
and a corresponding condition imposed by the Land Division Committee in granting the
Application for Consent.
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.
