TOWN OF ENGLEHART

NOTICE OF A PUBLIC MEETING

Zoning By-law Amendment

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Englehart will be holding a public meeting under Section 34 of the Planning Act to consider an amendment to By-law 2013-12 of the Town of Englehart. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 28, 2018 at 6:00 pm in the Englehart Town Hall, 61 5^th Avenue, Englehart.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT:  Council proposes to change the zone regulations for lot coverage in the Low Density Residential (R1) Zone from 30% to 25% for dwellings permitted in the R1 Zone and to change the lot coverage from 5% to 10% for accessory buildings. The effect will be to allow the construction of a larger garage on a lot than currently permitted. For a lot having a lot area of 460 m² [4,950 ft.²] a garage of up to 46 m² [495 ft.²] could be constructed (i.e. 2-bay garage). A key map is not provided since this amendment affects all properties located in the R1 Zone. 

TAKE NOTICE that if you wish to be notified of the decision of the Town of Englehart on the proposed zoning by-law amendment, you must make a written request to the Clerk of the Municipality at the address below. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Town of Englehart before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Englehart to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions to the Town of Englehart before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

For more information about this matter please contact the Clerk during regular office hours at the address below.

Dated at the Town of Englehart this  30^th day of January, 2018.
