Bruce Poynter - Approval for a consent (subject to conditions) in an area where there is no official plan in place

The application 52-C-226398 proposes to consolidate lands in the unincorporated township of Cochrane, District of Sudbury.

The subject property is known as Concession 1 Lot 9, PIN 73099-0035. The purpose of the application is to increase the size of an existing waterfront lot, known as Part of Broken Lots 9 and 10, Concession 1, PIN 73099-0041, for seasonal recreational uses.

The proposed severed lot would be approximately 2.7 hectares, rectangular in shape, with a frontage of 96 metres and a depth of 157 metres. This severed lot contains mostly forested area. The benefiting lot, PIN 73099-0041, contains a recreational dwelling, garage, sheds and is serviced by on-site well and septic.

The proposed retained lot would be approximately 60 hectares, and irregular in shape.

No new buildings or structures are proposed as a result of this application.

For information on a related lot addition, see ERO No. 019-6282 under application 52-C-226326.
