A public meeting was held on a minor variance application submitted by Tulloch on behalf of Laura and Edward Morawski. Steve McArthur presented the application to the Committee. The applicants are seeking a minor variance to permit the reduction in the required frontage to 32.67 meters whereas Zoning By-law No. 2021-60 requires 60.00 meters.
There is a restrictive covenant on title that is preventing the two lots from being sold separately. The covenant can be removed by Council, but Council deemed it was desirable to engage in a public process prior to removing the covenant.
Director of Community Services advised that the MTO commented that they have no objection to the application and have previously issued an entrance permit for the property.
No public input was provided at the public hearing and the application was approved.
