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

The purpose of this application is to sever one new lot approximately 0.94 hectares in size, with approximately 123 metres of frontage on Lake Timiskaming. The lot is currently vacant land and a resource-based recreational use is proposed.

The proposed retained lot would be approximately 75 hectares in size with approximately 1350 metres of frontage on Lake Timiskaming. The lot contains a cottage, three outbuildings and individual on-site services.

No specific buildings or structures are proposed, however, future construction of a resource-based recreational dwelling and related services is expected as a result of this proposal.

The application will be reviewed for consistency with the environmental policies of the Provincial Planning Statement (e.g., natural heritage, water quality protection). Public comments received or concerns identified will be considered in the review to determine whether the application is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement and whether it would have any significant impact on the environment.

If you have any questions, or would like to submit comments, please do so either online (below), by letter or phone to the contact person listed. Please submit your comment during the 30-day public consultation period and reference the Environmental Registry Number 025-0432.

Your personal information may be used in the decision-making process on this proposal and it may be used to contact you if clarification of your comment is required. It may be shared (along with your comment) with other Ontario ministries for use in the decision-making process. Questions about this collection should be directed to the contact listed.

If a person or public body that wishes to file an appeal in respect of the proposed consent does not submit written comments to the Minister before the Minister gives or refuses to give a provisional consent (e.g., during the public consultation period), the Ontario Land Tribunal may dismiss the appeal. Appeal of a decision of the Minister in respect of this consent may be made by a specified person or any public body not later than 20 days after notice of the decision is given. If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Minister in respect of the proposed consent, you must make a written request to the Minister at the contact address.

As required under the Planning Act, a public notice will be published in The Temiskaming Speaker Weekender on June 20, 2025.
