Purpose and Effect of the Applications
The purpose of the applications is to permit an expansion to the existing Lovesick Lake Trailer Park. The expansion proposes a total of 46 additional trailer sites. The portion of the property subject to the Amendment is approximately 8.16 hectares (20 acres) in area.

The applications will require a related consent (severance) application for the purposes of a lot addition, which has not yet been submitted. The lot addition serves to provide the subject property with road frontage and access from Forest Hill Road.
