South Side of Wellington Street West-Application 97.81.A
As the subject application would not conform to the old King Township By-Law
# 986 as amended, in regard to frontage, the Committee recommends the
application be refused. Said By-Law requires a minimum of 150 foot frontage
for a lot having an area between 1 and 2 acres. The application also does
not conform to the new Zoning By-Law# 2213-78.
Both the remaining lot, and the lot to be conveyed have areas of 0.4314
hectares (1.07 acres) and 0.4309 hectares (1.06 acres) respectively, and
only 104.8 foot frontage.
If a By-Law Amendment was applied for, the Committee would give it due
consideration.
The next Planning and Development Committee meeting will be Monday, May 11, 1981 at
7:00 p.m.
