b.
C-2023-02 - Claude and Nicky Levasseur - 581 Big Moose Road

 

A public meeting was held on an application submitted by Claude and Nicky Levasseur.  The applicants are applying to rezone the subject lands from the  Resort Commercial (C3) to the Lakefront Residential (RL) zone. The rezoning is  being applied for concurrently with a consent to sever application on the same property. The intent of these applications is to sever a parcel of land that is approximately 15 acres from the Big Moose Camp property so that it may be used for the development of a single detached dwelling. The rezoning is required because the property is currently all zoned commercial, so a residential zoning would be required for the severed lot.

Mr. Kirton advised that the MTO and Hydro commented that the application is outside their jurisdiction. The North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority commented that anything within their permitting areas may require DIA permit for each future development.  A lengthy email was received from a neighbour on Morgan Road.  The neighbour advised that the application is premature and would like to see more details of development plans and studies, access easements, and a survey should be required prior to move forward with the application.   

No public input was received at the public meeting and the application was approved.
