Minutes of Council February, 4, 2020 That a public meeting be held to allow for input on Zoning By-law Amendment Z19-13, Concession 8, Part Lots 15 and 16, Parts 1 to 3, Reference Plan 13R17366, Storrington District, Hewett Lane, Dog Lake. Carried b)
Rezoning Application Z-19-13 - Concession 8, Part Lots 15 and 16, Hewett Lane Claire Dodds explained that the subject property consists of 335 feet of frontage on Hewett Lane and 383 feet of waterfront along Dog Lake. The lot is approximately 2.5 acres in size and is a vacant waterfront property with water frontage on the north and south sides of the property with Hewett Lane intersecting the property. The subject property was created on April 30, 2004 through consent application S-36-03-S for the creation of the new waterfront lot and at that time it was not required to be rezoned. The waterfront lot retained the Resort Recreational Zoning (RRC-4) zoning. The RRC-4 zoning permits a tourist establishment with cottages. The owner of the lot would like to build a single detached dwelling on the waterfront lot which is not permitted under the RRC-4 zoning. The applicant is requesting that Council change the zoning on the waterfront residential lot to Limited Service Residential Waterfront (RLSW) to facilitate the construction of a single detached dwelling on the lot. There was not a requirement to circulate to Public Health as the septic suitability for the lot was addressed at the time of lot creation. Ms. Dodds reviewed her report outlining how compliance was determined with respect to the Provincial Policy Statement, the County Official Plan, South Frontenac’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law. She noted that there have been no objections received. Councillor Sleeth spoke in support of the rezoning. There were no other comments from Council and no comments from the public.
