WHEREAS on September 11, 2018 the Elgin County Council considered a report from
Michael Plant, Director of Engineering Services and Steve Evans, Manager of Planning re
Land Severances – Unsolicited Conveyance of Lands;
AND WHEREAS on September 11, 2018 the County of Elgin established a policy that the
County of Elgin not accept unsolicited lands to accommodate Land Division Consent

Division applicants requesting reconsideration of the September 11, 2018 County of Elgin
Policy to facilitate lot addition activities;
2019 Council Minutes October 3, 2019
3
AND WHEREAS lot addition, the process of a landowner selling or transferring and
merging a part of land to an abutting parcel resulting in an increase in size to the abutting
landowners lot, is a form of rural economic development and conforms to the Elgin County
and Bayham Official Plans.
AND WHEREAS the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 also provides a mechanism for
planning approval authorities to grant approval for subsequent conveyances of the same
parcel, which is normally exercised for lot additions, since the suitability of the lot to be
conveyed as a standalone parcel (not to be added to an abutting lot) would not have been
reviewed;
AND WHEREAS the County of Oxford, and Norfolk County both accept and retain 1’ X 1’
conveyances on County Roads to facilitate lot additions to promote development with the
administrative costs of the transaction funded by the applicant;
AND WHEREAS the acceptance of 1’ X 1’ conveyances to facilitate lot additions is the
most cost effective and least burdensome process to grant lot additions, to both the
Municipality and the applicant;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the Corporation of the
Municipality of Bayham respectfully request Elgin County Council to reconsider its policy of
September 11, 2018 re Land Severances – Unsolicited Conveyance of Lands to facilitate
rural economic development.
