More
Email icon Back to Search

Take Notice that the Township of Minden Hills has received complete applications to amend the Township’s Zoning By-law.

And Take Notice that the Township of Minden Hills will be holding a Public Meeting, as required under the Planning Act. Any member of the public may speak in favour, or opposition to, the proposed amendment during the Public Meeting.

Date and Location of Public Meetings

Date:               Thursday, January 9, 2025

Time:              9:00 AM

Location:        Hybrid Meeting (In-person in Township Council Chambers and Electronic via Zoom)

The purpose of the Public Hearing will be to consider zoning by-law amendment applications PLZBA2024061 and PLZBA2024067 pursuant to Section 34 of the Planning Act. The Public Meeting is an opportunity for Council to hear and consider comments related to the proposed amendment. The zoning by-law amendment applications for Public Meeting are listed below:

Amendment Applications
PLZBA2024061PLZBA2024067

Part Lot 12, Concession 6, Geographic Township of Lutterworth, being 2513 Davis Lake Road (see Key Map).

Purpose and Effect: The subject property is currently zoned ‘General Industrial Exception Five (M1-5)’ and is located within the Rural designation of the Township’s Official Plan. The current zoning on the property permits the use of the land as a salvage yard. The property is occupied by a dwelling, which is a permitted accessory use to an operating salvage yard. As a salvage yard no longer operates on the property, the landowners are proposing to use the land for residential uses only. The zoning by-law amendment would serve to rezone the property from ‘General Industrial Exception Five (M1-5)’ zone to ‘Rural (RU)’ zone to permit the principal use of the property for residential uses.


Part Lot 16, Concession 14, Geographic Township of Snowdon, being 1237 Ingoldsby Road, Canning Lake
(see Key Map).

Purpose and Effect: The subject property is currently zoned ‘Shoreline Residential (SR)’ and is located within the Waterfront designation of the Township’s Official Plan. The property owners are proposing to tear down two (2) boathouses in order to construct one (1) new boathouse. Existing boathouses may be reconstructed on the same footprint, inclusive of size, height and location. The height of the boathouse will remain unchanged. The ground floor area of the boathouse will increase from a combined 88 square metres (947 square feet) to 90.24 square metres (971 square feet). A new location for the boathouse is also proposed and to be setback 5.5 metres (18 feet) from the high water mark of Canning Lake. The zoning by-law amendment would rezone the property from ‘Shoreline Residential (SR)’ zone to ‘Shoreline Residential Exception (SR-E)’ zone to permit the construction of the boathouse. In accordance with the Official Plan, reconstruction of the boathouse will be subject to site plan control under Section 41 of the Planning Act.
