Comment
The City of Kawartha Lakes' full comments are attached. The key points:
- It's not clear what is being proposed. Is the province considering prohibiting minimum lot sizes? Or imposing a minimum?
- Our minimum lot sizes are in a range to ensure appropriate servicing can be achieved.
- Removing minimum lot sizes for areas with established homes may be unpopular with residents who may have concerns with intensification and wish to protect the “character of their neighbourhoods.”
- Very small units within high-rise residential buildings are not desired and left vacant. We would not want to see the same mistake happen with lot sizes in new subdivisions.
