Location

A key map is attached which indicates the location of the lands that are subject to the applications. The lands are legally described as Part of Black F, Registered Plan 9, Lakefield Ward, and are known municipally as 45 Bishop Street.

Purpose and Effect of the Application

The proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments are being sought to facilitate a related 16-unit residential Plan of Subdivision (County file 15T-21002) comprised of 8 semi-detached dwellings and 8 townhouse dwellings. A new municipal road is proposed, connecting to Bishop Street and terminating in a cul-de-sac.

The Official Plan Amendment (County file 15OP-21007) proposes to change the land use designation from ‘Low Density - Residential’ to ‘Medium Density- Residential’.

The Zoning By-Law Amendment (Township file C-04-21) proposes to change the zoning from ‘Residential Type One (R1-H)’ to ‘Residential Type Two (R2)’ and ‘Residential Type Three (R3)’. Site-specific exceptions will apply to address lot area, lot frontage, rear yard setback, dwelling unit area, and maximum lot coverage deficiencies for the irregular lot shapes resulting from the cul-de-sac, as needed.

The Right to Appeal

If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision (s) of the Councils of the Township of Selwyn/County of Peterborough to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Selwyn/County of Peterborough before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Selwyn/County of Peterborough before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
