permit Site Specific Zoning over the noted proposed Lots as follows:
Lot 37
• Section 9.12.XX to permit the Front Lot Line to be deemed the longer boundary line abutting a

abutting the street for a corner Lot.

• Section 9.12-XX to permit a minimum Lot Frontage of 14.6m; whereas Section 9.3 requires a
minimum Lot Frontage of 20.0m
Lots 22 – 27, 30, 31, 38 & 39

THE EFFECT of this By-law is to permit the development of the lands in accordance with draft plan of
subdivision application 34T-BA2503, where corner Lot 37 is to be oriented along the longer street line
2
rather than the shorter street line, Lots 7 - 14 and 33 to have a smaller Lot Frontage than required,
and Lots 22 – 27, 30 31, 38 & 39 to have a greater Lot Coverage than required under the Hamlet
Residential Zone.
B. Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment ZBA-25/25 Neufeld, 54304 Eden Line
THE PURPOSE of this By-law Amendment is to rezone the subject property from a dual ‘Hamlet
Residential (HR)’ Zone and Urban Industrial (M4) Zone to a Site-Specific dual ‘Hamlet Residential
(HR-XX)’ Zone and Urban Industrial (M4-XX) Zone with new zoning boundaries to reflect the uses
existing on the property and to permit an addition to the existing residential dwelling, which requires
the following provisions:
• Section 9.2.XX to permit an ARU with a maximum gross floor area of 46% of the Primary Dwelling

services; whereas a minimum of 30m is required under Section 23.4
The subject property is known as 54304 Eden Line, north side, and east of Culloden Road.
THE EFFECT of this By-law is to adjust the current boundary between the M4 and HR zones within
the subject property to permit an Additional Residential Unit attached to the existing dwelling and
recognize the location of the existing industrial business, while also permitting an ARU that exceeds
the Maximum Floor Area requirements and recognizing the existing deficient setback to a County
Road.
C. Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment ZBA-01/26 Wall, 23 Oak Street
THE PURPOSE of this By-law Amendment is to rezone the subject property from a ‘Residential (R1)’

Residential with Holding Provisions (HR(h2), (h3))’ Zone to a ‘Site Specific Hamlet Residential (RR-
XX)’ Zone to permit a new Single Detached Dwelling, which requires the additional following
provision:
3
• Section 9.12.XX to permit a Minimum Rear Yard of 8.2m; where a Minimum Rear Yard of 9.0m is
required under Section 9.10
The following Holding Provisions are proposed to be removed as part of this application:

ecological functions, an Environmental Impact Study will be required prior to the removal of the “h3”
zone symbol.
