On Monday September 8 there is a Public Planning meeting concerning an application for  Zoning By-law Amendment at 962 Graham Sideroad. The owner is proposing a severance of the subject property, for the purposes of creating one additional lot and the construction of a proposed single detached dwelling.

As reviewed in the report the property is in in a settlement designated as a hamlet. For there to be a severance, such as is being requested, there is a need to “ensure compatibility with the surrounding community in the context of use of land, buildings and structure size, area, density, and height.”  From my reading of the report I think the critical issue is whether there is a rationale for creating a new lot which is only .39 hectares whereas the current lot is 2.98 ha. To assess a rationale I think we will need to have information about the surrounding communities which I anticipate will be included in the future and final report. To see the report and all the attachments go to the agenda and scroll to 7.1.

Council does not make a decision at a public planning meeting as the purpose of the meeting is to receive comments and hear questions from the public. As indicated in the notice registration for deputations need to be made by noon on September 8^th; send requests for such to clerks@king.ca.
