HomeMy WebLinkAbout75-169REZONING FOR DE14NIS THOMPSON:-
On March 10, 19759 the P.A.C. approved the rezoning of that
part of Mr. Thompson's land which lies above the flood line in
Lot 32, Concession 7, Clarke. The rezoning was proposed to pro.
cede only when the applicant removed himself from the premises
and entered into a written agreement with the Town to the effect
that
(a) he will not occupy or permit the promises to
be occupied without a certificate of occupancy
from the building inspector
(b) he will proceed no further with any construe -
tion until such is in conformity with all
by-laws, regulations, and court orders in
effect
(c) he will rectify all faults in construction to
the satisfaction of the building inspector
and install sanitary facilities to the satis-
faction of the Health Unit.
As surety for the performance of this agreement the applicant
should be required to deposit with the town in the form of cash,
negotiable securities, or ,a promissory note secured by property,
an amount equal to twice the cost .of complying with the terms of
the agreement, which amount would be forfeited in the event of
his default.
In addition, tho applicant should be required to convey suff-
icient land to the municipality to bring the forced road in front
of his property up to a width of 66 feet.
The applicant has since that time done nothing to comply with
the terms of the Committees recommendations, despite repeated
requests for action directed to his solicitor. In addition, Coun-
cil have chosen to take no further legal action against the appli.+
cant pending the outcome of the rezoning. There is no objection
. . . 2
on planning grounds to the proposed rezoning.
Therefore, we would recomm<;nd that -
(a) the proposed rezoning proceed
(b) upon O.M.B. approval of the rezoning the
applicant be given an appropriate period of
time to ot,tain a building permit and to bring
his building into compliance with building
and health regulations
(c) if the applicant fails to comply with (b)
above, the matter be turned over to the
By-law Enforcement Officer for further
prosecution.
Respectfully submitted,
George F. Howden,
Planning Director.
