A public meeting was held on an application submitted by Tulloch Geomatics Inc. on behalf of 1000328150 Ontario Inc. The applicants are seeking approval for a consent application to create an additional lot that would be used for future commercial development, as well as to establish a mutually shared access easement that would allow both the severed and retained lands to be served by the existing driveway on Centennial Crescent. This application is being made in conjunction with a Zoning By-law Amendment Application that would seek to rezone a parcel of land from the existing Rural (R) zoning to a General Commercial Special (C1 Sp.) zone.
Steve McArthur from Tulloch presented the application. Director of Community Services advised that the MTO provided comments after the agenda was published. They are in support of the applications. An entrance permit will be required for the severed lot.
No public input was received at the public meeting and the applications were approved.
