A public meeting was held on a consent application submitted by Rick Champagne and Nancy Best. Nancy Best presented the application to the Committee. The purpose of the requested consent is to allow for a lot addition of approximately 9 acres from their property at 1852 Corbeil Road to their neighbours at 1808 Corbeil Road.  

Director of Community Services advised that the North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority had no objections to the application, but there are wetlands near the rear of the property so any future development may require a permit. 

Staff have no objects to the application as all minimum requirements are met and neither property would be in contravention of the by-laws.

No public input was provided at the public hearing and the application was approved.
