Dear Mayor Pringle and Members of Council

Re:

Application for Zoning By-law Amendment

Part Lot 51, Concesson 2 EGR, Geographic Township of Holland
Owners: Robert Beirnes / David and Betty Peck

The following has been drafted to provide Council with planning comments concerning
the above-noted rezoning application:

The subject lands comprise three properties that are located along the west side of
Concession 2, approximately 260 metres south of Negro Creek Road. The first property,
owned by Robert Beirnes, comprises 39.52 hectares of land is vacant and partially

farmed. The majority of this lot is forested and scrub land. The other two properties are
owned by David and Betty Peck, and comprise'1.18 hectares and 0.94 hectares
respectively. A dwelling was recently constructed on the 0.94 hectare lot. The Pecks
are in the process of merging their two properties into one parcel.
Recently, the Committee of Adjustment conditionally approved the severance of 1.02
hectares of land from the Beirnes' property, with that land being added to the Peck
consolidated parcel. The end result will be a3.14 hectare residential lot which does not
comply with the lot area and frontage requirements and a 38.6 hectare property which
also does not comply with the lot frontage requirements of the '41' zone. The proposed
Amendment will adjust the Zoning By-law accordingly.

ln terms of evaluating this rezoning application, it s important to note that the recent
severance was deemed to conform with the County Official Plan and the Provincial Policy
$tatement, and therefore, the proposal to reduce the lot area and frontage requirements
of the '41' zone should also be deemed to comply with these land use documents.
Based on the foregoing, the proposed By-law should be given favourable consideration
by Council.

This opinion is provided without the beneft of having received comments from any other
goncy or any adjacent land owners. Should new information arise regarding this
proposal, Gouncil is advioed to take such information into account when considering the
application.
I

trust this information will be of assistance,
