which are the Koch
lots.
Koch.
>> Okie dokie. So, four applications have
» Okie dokie. So, four applications have
been received from Walter Koch, trustee
for the estate of Anna Koch, for the
property
legally described as Concession 7, North
Half of Lot 15, being Parcel 1820,
located at the intersection of Miller
Heights Drive and Sorry Road in Oliver
Paipoonge.
This parcel of land is naturally severed
by Sorry Road and Weeden Road, which
already creates three legal parcels of
land.
Two of those parcels are large enough
that they can be subdivided through the
Planning Act and the municipal zoning
bylaw, which permits
two severances each.
So, that's the subject of these
applications this evening.
All applications that we have before us
tonight were circulated to neighboring
properties within 60 m of the subject
lands. Notice was posted on the
properties and agencies required through
the Planning Act were circulated 14 days
prior to this evening.
So, the subject property has frontage on
Sorry Road, Miller Heights Drive, and
Weeden Road. Each of the proposed lots
would front on one or two of the three
maintained roads with the address
ultimately being determined at the time
entrance permits are applied for.
Subject property is designated as rural
in the official plan and zoned rural in
the zoning bylaw.
So, the subject property is abutted by
rural lots to the west, general
agriculture and rural residential to the
south, and rural and rural residential
to the north and the east.
The proposed new and retained lots all
exceed the minimum frontage requirements
in the rural zone on the maintained
road,
being either Miller Heights Drive, Sorry
Road, or Weeden Road. The area of each
parcel meets the requirements of the
zoning bylaw.
Um both the official plan and zoning
bylaw of Oliver Paipoonge support the
creation of these lots as all related
requirements are being met. The
provincial
The provincial planning statement
encourages lot creation in appropriate
areas and so this application is
consistent with all provincial
documents. The applicant has already had
the property surveyed which is in your
packages this evening.
Um so the application is
showing the actual measurements and full
proposals for the original parcel.
Um no interdepartmental comments were
received. Agency comments were received
from the Lakehead Region Conservation
Authority as well as the Ministry of
Mines.
Um both stating no objections or
concerns with the proposed. Those
comments were sent to the um applicant.
Uh no public comments have been received
so far and council resolution um council
has not had a meeting. They're having a
meeting next Wednesday so they were not
um able to review these the applications
tonight. Um nevertheless, it is my
recommendation that each of the four
applications be approved with our usual
conditions.
» Thank you. Uh there is there any
um
input from those attending the meeting
tonight?
All right. Is there any discussion from
the committee on this?
All right. With that then, not seeing

We did not receive any interdepartmental
comments. Agency comments were received
from the Lakehead Region Conservation
Authority as well as the Ministry of
Mines again stating no objections or
concerns
and Council did not meet so there's no

So it would be my recommendation that

on the property legally described as
concession four, northwest quarter
uh north half lot 10, known locally as
127 Wrigley Drive in the municipality of

received from Stephen Husain for the
property um known locally as 5034 Dawson
Road in Oliver Paipoonge. Um this
application is proposing the creation of
one new lot being approximately 2.9
hectares in area leaving a retained lot
of 6.4 hectares as well as an easement
through the proposed new lot for a
shared driveway being approximately 150
m by 10 m.
Um the subject property is designated as
rural in the official plan and zoned
rural residential in the zoning bylaw.
Uh the subject property is abutted by
additional rural residential to the
south and the west general agriculture
to the north and the city of the Thunder
Bay to the east.
Uh the proposed new lot meets all area
and frontage requirements of the rural
residential zone in our zoning bylaw. Um
an entrance permit is required from the
Ministry of Transportation for the
shared driveway.
Um no interdepartmental comments were
received. Agency comments again were
received from the Lakehead Region
Conservation Authority as well as the
Ministry of Mines both stating no
objections or concerns to the proposed
um and no council resolution this
meeting. Um so it would be my
recommendation that the application be
approved with usual conditions
um also including a condition with
respect to
um I'm confirmation from the MTO uh in
writing that a shared driveway is
acceptable
on the property as well as a condition
with respect to that easement being
registered as well.

Hearing none.
To the committee, are there any comments
or questions? Catherine.
>> Um, there's two different maps in this
» Um, there's two different maps in this
package. Um,
one called the site plan service with
the yellow
and one with the blue called two map.
And they don't have
uh, 74 and 77.
>> You mean the actual application?
» You mean the actual application?
>> Yeah.
Yes. Um, and I just it's it they read
differently when you look at the
um,
they say 254 on the west limits.
And then on this um,
jagged line on the other side, the first
one says 77 m and then 77 and then 100.
And the
blue one says 96, 77, and 100, which
adds up
to a lot more than
254. So, which one's correct when the
driveway's represented differently on
both of these drawings?
>> So, the
» So, the
the in my planning report, we're going
with that sketch.
>> Which one?
» Which one?
>> In the planning report.
» In the planning report.
>> AJB.
» AJB.
>> Okay.
» Okay.
>> So, that's the proposed when we actually
» So, that's the proposed when we actually
go to our program and measure, they
don't match up with the numbers that
were provided by the applicant, which is
fairly common.
Um, it's when the surveyor goes through,
those numbers will likely change again.
Um,
but it's
it's well within what is required, the
2.9 acres, so it's not really a concern.
At least that's why we always say
approximate.
>> Okay, cuz I just I was just getting
» Okay, cuz I just I was just getting
different information in different
graphics. So, okay.
So, when that gets reviewed when it gets
processed or it gets
>> That's right.
» Thank you. Any further comments or
questions?
Would you
just come to the mic and say your name.
>> She's going to talk about the glitch.
» No.
I don't even know what lot you're

the Kutch severance?
>> Yes, that's what we're here to visit.
» Yes, that's what we're here to visit.
>> We've We did. We did that one already.
» We've We did. We did that one already.
>> Okay, so can I actually ask a question?
» Okay, so can I actually ask a question?
I just wondered the size. Are these like
5-acre lots?
>> Well,
» Well,
we'll go through it after the meeting.
We've already gone through them. Um,
they have been approved, but you're
welcome to come and ask afterwards.
Right now we're going we're working
through a different lot.
>> Just hang hang there, darling.
» Thank you.
All right. Any further comments on the
Husain property?
All right.
Hearing none, then I will seek a motion
potentially that application for consent
1B 2026 Husain for the creation of one
new lot on the property legally
described as Concession 7 part north
half lot 1 parcel 3998
known locally as 5034 Dawson Road in the
municipality of Oliver Paipoonge
geographic district geographic district

conditions. And that includes the
condition of the MTO and permit, yes.
Arnoulds is
making that motion. Sandy is seconding
it.
Any further discussion from the
committee?
Hearing none. All those in favor.
Thank you. That carries.
All right. And we are up to a
cancellation certificate for Le Page.
>> Okay, so as everyone here is aware at
» Okay, so as everyone here is aware at
the last
meeting we discussed the approval of a
new lot for Le Page,
which is conditional on
getting a certificate of cancellation.
There was a lot that was created
previously
in 2009 that was registered incorrectly.
So it was registered as a new lot rather
than a lot addition.
This certificate of cancellation will
remove that initial consent
so that the parcel is one larger parcel
which was required in order for that
severance to be approved.
Um
So if anyone has any questions about it,
I'm happy to answer. But I did
Um I think everyone is mostly aware of
what's happening there. Um and again
this doesn't get uh
uh sent out [clears throat] to anyone.
There's no notification period or
anything like that. So
>> Thank you.
» Thank you.
Is there any
uh
input from our audience?
Thank you. Then from the committee any
questions or comments?
All right.
Then I will seek a motion.
Uh this is a long one.
