The purpose of this application is to sever approximately 0.47 hectares from Lot 8, M644 (PIN 42125-1017) as a lot addition to the abutting Lot 9, M644 (PIN 42125-1018) and to create an easement over Lot 8, M644 (PIN 42125-1017) to access Lot 9, M644 (PIN 42125-1018). The proposed severed lot would be approximately 0.47 hectares with 100.40 metres of frontage and a depth of 93.10 metres. The retained portion of Lot 8 would be approximately 0.51 hectares with 122.60 metres of frontage and a depth of 103.19 metres. The receiving Lot 9 is approximately 0.36 hectares and would be 0.83 hectares after the lot addition. The proposed easement is approximately 10 metres long with 0.003 hectares of area. There are currently two (2) serviced resource-based recreational structures on the subject lands, both constructed in 2016. No new buildings/structures are proposed.
The effect of the application is to change the ownership arrangement for the existing resource based recreational dwelling. At present, Kevin Sopko owns Lot 9 and owns Lot 8 as tenants in common with Raymond & Jaqueline Moher.
The subject lands are accessed by Woodland Lane via Storm Bay Road, which is maintained on a year-round basis by the Storm Bay, Bigstone Bay & Blindfold Lake Local Roads Boards. The subject lands are on Storm Bay of Lake of the Woods approximately 24 kilometres southeast of the central area of the City of Kenora.
