Re: Zoning By-law Amendment File No. Z-2025-005
Bruce County Planner, Megan Stansfield appeared in person at the March 10, 2025, Council Meeting.
Bruce County Planner, Megan Stansfield provided an overview of the information contained within Zoning By-law Amendment File No. Z-2025-005. The following was noted;
· This zoning amendment is to facilitate the severance of an 11.8 ha parcel, with a frontage of approximately 363 metres on Dunks Bay Road, and a 2.4 ha parcel with about 30 m of frontage on Dunks Bay Road. The retained parcel will be approximately 1500 square metres in size with approximately 9 metres of frontage on a private road. The zoning amendment will rezone the 11.8 ha and 2.4 ha parcels to Open Space, to ensure no development, and will recognize the reduced lot area for the retained residential lot.
· There are two consent (easement) files related to these files, B-2025-016 and B-2025-017.
· The 11.8 ha parcel will be conveyed to the Bruce Trail Conservancy (BTC), while the 2.4 ha parcel which will contain the private road will be conveyed to the residents who live along Almack Beach Laneway and use the lane to access their properties. The existing cottage will be retained on a residential property.
· The property proposed to be severed and conveyed to the Bruce Trail Conservancy is currently zoned Restricted Rural. The applicant has recommended that it be rezoned to Open Space, as no development is proposed on the property and the uses intended in this zone are parks and conservation areas.
· An archaeological assessment has been completed for the residential parcel, the laneway, and a portion of the BTC parcel. The remaining portion of the BTC parcel will have a Holding to ensure an archaeological assessment is completed, if any development is proposed in the future. At this time, no development is proposed.
· The parcel that will contain the private road will be conveyed to the owners of land who access their property through the laneway. The parcel will be rezoned to Open Space and permit only a road to ensure that no development occurs on the property.
· The parcel which has the existing cottage, is zoned R2-a – Residential with a special provision which exempts the lot from requiring frontage on a public road. The exemption for frontage on a public road will remain, and a special provision will be added which recognizes the reduced lot size, as it does not meet the lot area requirements of the zoning by-law. The mapping indicates a small portion of the property within the Open Space area – this will be removed from the property; staff believe it was placed there in error.
· It should be noted that the zoning mapping may be slightly offset, and that the overlap of the adjacent Institutional zone (from the cemetery) onto the residential parcel, should be disregarded.
· The Rural designation permits the creation of one lot from a 40 ha parcel. This severance is primarily technical in nature – severing a road which will be owned by the users of said road, with the remainder being used for conservation purposes. Lands severed for conservation purposes are generally exempt from lot density requirements because no development is being proposed.
Planning Consultant, Ron Davidson, appeared online via Zoom for the March 10, 2025, Council Meeting. The following was noted:
· No development is proposed for the land being conveyed to the conservation authority
· The parcel encompassing the road is being conveyed to the associated 23 land owners who utilize the parcel for access on the private road.
Mayor McIver opened the public meeting at this time.
Having received no public comments, Mayor McIver closed the public meeting.
Mayor McIver thanked Megan Stansfield for her presentation.
