Location:

The subject lands are located at 162 Douro Eighth Line, Douro Ward, Township of Douro-Dummer. A key map is provided with this notice which indicates the location of the lands which are the subject of the proposed OPA and ZBA as well as the proposed severances.

Purpose and Effect of Application:

The proposed Official Plan Amendment will remove the Extractive Industrial designation from the subject lands, changing it to a Rural designation to allow for the creation of two residential lots by consent (severance). In addition, the proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment will amend the existing Special District 80 (S.D. 80) Zone on the retained lands to reflect the proposed lot frontage and lot area and rezone the proposed severed lots to Rural (RU) Zone.

The Right to Appeal:

If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Township of Douro-Dummer 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 Douro-Dummer 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 Douro-Dummer 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.
