Application 54-C-227976 was approved on October 26, 2023, with conditions. This approval will allow the transfer of approximately 0.0292 hectares of land with approximately 9.5 metres of frontage onto Highway 112, to be added to the neighbouring lot (PIN 61243-0271). The lot addition is intended to correct an encroachment of an existing garage and driveway.
The benefitting lot is irregularly shaped, approximately 5 hectares in size with approximately 95 metres of frontage on Highway 112. The lot is currently used for residential uses. The retained land is rectangular in shape, and would be approximately 0.98 hectares in size, with approximately 58 metres of frontage on Highway 112. The land is currently used for residential uses. No new buildings or structures are proposed as a result of this application.
The application 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 consent is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and will not have a significant impact on the environment.

Original proposal
Proposal details
The application would sever approximately 0.0292 hectares of land with approximately 9.5 metres of frontage on Highway 112, to be added to the neighbouring lot (PIN 61243-0271). The lot addition is intended to correct an encroachment of an existing garage and driveway.
The benefitting lot is irregularly shaped, approximately 5 hectares in size with approximately 95 metres of frontage on Highway 112. The lot is currently used for residential uses.
The retained land is rectangular in shape, and would be approximately 0.98 hectares in size, with approximately 58 metres of frontage on Highway 112. The land is currently used for residential uses.
No new buildings or structures are proposed as a result of this application.
The application will be reviewed for consistency with the environmental policies of the Provincial Policy Statement (e.g. natural heritage, water quality protection). Public comments received or concerns identified will be considered in the review to determine whether the application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and whether it would have any significant impact on the environment.
If you have any questions, or would like to submit comments, please do so either online (below), by letter or phone to the contact person listed. Please submit your comment during the 30-day public consultation period and reference the Environmental Registry Number 019-7501.
Your personal information may be used in the decision-making process on this proposal and it may be used to contact you if clarification of your comment is required. It may be shared (along with your comment) with other Ontario ministries for use in the decision-making process. Questions about this collection should be directed to the contact listed.
If a person or public body that wishes to file an appeal in respect of the proposed consent does not submit written comments to the Minister before the Minister gives or refuses to give a provisional consent (e.g., during the public consultation period), the Ontario Land Tribunal may dismiss the appeal. Appeal of a decision of the Minister in respect of this consent may be made by any person or public body not later than 20 days after notice of the decision is given. If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Minister in respect of the proposed consent, you must make a written request to the Minister at the contact address.
As required under the Planning Act, a public notice will be published in the New Liskeard Temiskaming Speaker Weekender on Friday, September 1, 2023 in English and French.
