A public meeting was held on an application submitted by Shannon Jerome. The applicant is requesting a consent to sever for the purpose of creating one new lot. Shannon Jerome and her partner Richard presented their application to the Committee. The severed lot would be approximately three acres in size off the westerly side of the property. The lot would be sold to a family member.
Mr. Kirton advised that the MTO commented that this application is outside their jurisdiction. The North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority commented that there is ample room for a septic system and they had no concerns.
A letter of objection was received from a neighbour stating concerns of contamination coming from information that was received 24 years ago. Mr. Kirton could not find any municipal records relating to contamination of the site. The North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority also had no environmental records to corroborate the information provided in the objection letter.
No public input was received at the public meeting and the application was approved.
