PUBLIC HEARING BYLAW 2000-299 TO AMEND ZONING BYLAW TO EXEMPT A-2 ZONED SUBDIVISIONS FOR THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF ACQUIRING ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY FROM THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE PROVISIONS The Director of Development Services explained that the Zoning Bylaw has a minimum lot size requirement of 8.0ha (20ac) in the A2 Agriculture zone. There are lots zoned A2 where existing traveled road is not located within dedicated road right of way. Unless the property is rezoned, the Approving Officer is prohibited from approving the subdivision plan and acquiring road dedication unless the portions of land separated by the proposed road right of way remain on a single title or meet the minimum lot area requirements. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Bylaw is to add an exemption whereby a subdivision, supportable by Council and approved by the ALC where road dedication will be obtained for an existing traveled road can be approved without meeting the aforementioned 8.0 hectare lot area requirement.

An excess/extended service resolution for the road upgrading will allow a latecomer agreement so that the owners can recoup some of their costs. One member noted his non-support of the application as it abuts farmland to the west. Moved by Councillor Roberge, Seconded by Councillor Perrino, THAT Bylaw 2000-301 be read a first time.
