Decision details
The application for a plan of subdivision was draft approved on January 28, 2025 subject to conditions.
The application was reviewed for consistency with the environmental policies of the Provincial Planning Statement. No public comments were received as a result of the ERO posting. Conditions were added to address partner ministry concerns relating to public health and safety, fish habitat, significant wildlife habitat, species at risk, and water quality.
Conditions include: the requirement for a flowage easement to define flood levels; confirmation of rehabilitation of a mine shaft; the requirement for a subdivision agreement that addresses matters such as the protection of active eagle nests, the avoidance of fish habitat, and the need for landowners to follow best management practices for waterfront development; and notices to be included within agreements of purchase and sale in the event that species at risk or wild rice are found on site/off shore.
The applicant has three years to satisfy conditions of draft approval, otherwise approval will lapse. The approval can be appealed using the procedure outlined below. Notice to appeal the decision to the Ontario Land Tribunal must be filed with the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on or before February 17, 2025.
