PURPOSE OF THE APPLICATION

The subject property is zoned Rural (RU). The applicant is requesting relief from the provisions of Section 12.2 of Zoning By-Law #11-83 to permit the continuation of an Agricultural Use on a lot zoned as Rural. Section 12.2 requires a minimum lot area of 40 hectares and a minimum lot frontage of 150 metres for an Agricultural Use in a Rural Zone. In the past year, four new lots and two retained lots were created through four consent to sever applications. As a result of the consent to sever applications, reliefs for a deficient lot area of 15.79 hectares and a deficient lot frontage of 115 metres are needed for one of the retained lots. A Minor Variance application to correct these deficiencies was listed as a condition for the previously mentioned consent to sever applications. The Minor Variance request is outlined below.
