Consultants' Report No. 3
APPLICATION FOR REZONING
sMITH.LOT 6. CONCESSION 3
This application has been looked at in the context of the
Draft Official Plan. It appears that the southern half of the area
of land on which the application is being made falls in the Hazard
Lands designation, and the northern half falls in the Rural designa-
tion. As a camping site can be classified as a recreation or open
space use, it would be permitted in both these designations. However,
the Hazard Land does not permit building, therefore, any new struc-
ture proposed for the property should be on the north of the site,
this would include washrooms and septic tanks.
From looking at the Development Appraisal Map in the Technical
Planning Report (at the back of the Official Plan) the soil does not
appear obviously bad for septic tanks, but this should be checked by
contacting the Health Unit. The Conservation Authority should also
be asked for their opinion as it is close to the river and partially
in Hazard Land.
Other points are that access is by gravel road but the distance
to County Road Number 8 is short. In view of the objections to
another camp site proposal, it may be advisable to notify adjacent
land owners to ascertain their views.
If you do decide to allow this camp site, the procedure would
be to amend the zoning by-law.
Respectfully Submitted,
MUNICIPAL PLANN/ING CONSULTANTS CO. LTD.
