Decision details
The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment (OPA # 14) is for a site specific policy amendment in order to facilitate the creation of a new buildable lot from the subject land on Lambert Lane on Lambert Island.
The owner/applicant would like the opportunity to create a second lot. To sever the desired second lot, the owner/applicant needs to amend the "Land Division Criteria" Section 13.2(iv) of the OP which currently requires that "The proposed lot must front on a publicly owned and maintained road by the Township." The road Lambert Lane is publicly owned, but privately maintained. OPA # 14 would modify the Plan for the subject property to permit the requested severance to occur.
The OPA was reviewed for consistency with the environmental policies of the Provincial Policy Statement (e.g. natural heritage, water quality protection). No public comments were received or concerns identified. The decision to approve the OPA is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and will not negatively impact the environment.
The last day to appeal this decision on 58-OP-199606 is December 12, 2020.

The subject land fronts onto a public road (Lambert Lane), which is privately maintained. The Official Plan requires that a proposed lot must front on a publicly owned and publicly maintained road by the Municipality.
