Marcel and Doris Poulin - Approval for a consent (subject to conditions) in an area where there is no official plan in place

Application number 52-C-200046 is an application for a lot addition in the unincorporated township of Hess, District of Sudbury. The proposed benefitting lot is described as Lot 8, Concession 3, Registered Plan 53M-1148, PIN 73334-0010(LT). The proposed severed land would be taken from Lot 9, Concession 3, Registered Plan 53M-1148, PIN 73334-0011(LT). The lots 8 and 9 are adjacent, front on Geneva Lake, and are both accessed by Geneva Crescent.

The purpose of this application for a lot addition is to correct an encroachment as a sauna belonging to lot 8 is currently located partly on lot 9. The application would sever a triangular piece of land approximately 0.00721 hectares in size from the north boundary of lot 9, to be consolidated with lot 8. As a result, the sauna would be fully contained on lot 8.

In addition to the sauna, lot 8 currently contains a cottage which has a septic system and draws lake water. The lot would be approximately 0.2322 hectares in size with the lot addition. Lot 9 is mostly vacant and wooded and there are no water or sewage services on the lot. The lot has its own driveway and a trailer is occasionally parked on the lot. The lot would be approximately 0.18789 hectares in size following the severance. No new development or site alteration is proposed on lot 8 or 9 at this time.
