Please accept this Council resolution as the comment from the Municipality of Trent Lakes.

Resolution No. R2019-331

Moved by: Councillor Armstrong
Seconded by: Councillor Lambshead

Whereas the draft Bill 108 prepared by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing proposes to authorize an increase in the number of permissible secondary suites on a parcel of land;

And Whereas Council for the Municipality of Trent Lakes supports the Minister's efforts to address issues of housing need and affordability;

And Whereas the Municipality of Trent Lakes is a municipality comprised of a number of in-land lakes with an extensive recreational housing stock and season population;

And Whereas shoreline areas in the Municipality of Trent Lakes are generally remote and characterized by small parcels of land mostly accessible only be private roads;

Now Therefore Council resolves that they do not find that the proposed revision to Section 16 (3) of the Planning Act, which would allow two new residential units, be an appropriate or responsible measure to address housing need or affordability in the Province of Ontario on small shoreline lots accessible only by private roads.

Carried.

Thank you,
Kari Stevenson, Director of Corporate Services/Clerk
