Public Hearing(s)

a.

TEMP-2025-01 - Tulloch Engineering, Steve McArthur - on behalf of 1000328150 Ontario Inc. (Degagne Group) - 0 Centennial Crescent (Corner of Centennial Crescent and Hwy 17)

A public meeting was held for Temporary Use By-law application TEMP-25-01 submitted by Tulloch Engineering, Steve McArthur on behalf of 1000328150 Ontario Inc. (Degagne Group) – 0 Centennial Crescent (Corner of Centennial Crescent and Hwy 17) Corbeil, ON.

The applicant is requesting authorization to permit a Temporary Use By-law on the subject property to allow for the establishment of a model home with an accessory office. A well and septic system will also service the temporary use to allow for running water throughout the model home as well as to service the office area. The office would only be occupied on a part time basis by appointment only.

The Director of Community Services did a review of the application to the members of the Planning Advisory Committee and the public in attendance.  The Municipality has no concerns with the application based on municipal policy. It is also important to note that the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario has reviewed the file and has not raised any concerns but has indicated that a building and land use permit is required. This permit is standard practice for all work within the MTO permit control area. It is important to note the MTO support for the file because the underlying commercial zoning and holding zone stipulations are directly related to MTO requirements.
