In December of 2006, Plan of Subdivision File No. D03-06001 received Draft Approval to facilitate an
infil plan of subdivision and permit the development of 16 single family residential lots along a future
extension of Arten Avenue. The Draft M-Plan provides for blocks at the south end of the subject
lands that will be dedicated as part of the road allowance when the lands are severed off to form lots
fronting onto the Arten Avenue road allowance extension.
It is anticipated that the Subdivision Agreement and Plan of Subdivision will be finalized in the near
future.
In April of 2011, Committee of Adjustment File No. B003/11 was approved to facilitate the severance
of the rear portion of 243 Elgin Mills Road West (abutting parcel to the west of the subject lands) and
merge it with the subject property. It was noted at the time that both 243 and 245 Elgin Mills Road
West were outside of the limits of Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 19T(R)-06001. The intent of
that severance application was to facilitate future rear lot severances once Arten Avenue was
constructed and assumed by the Town.

The proposed consent application will create areas of noncompliance with respect to the Zoning By-law.

No response.
The Development Engineering Division:
The Development Engineering Division has reviewed the above noted application and recommends the
inclusion of provisional conditions of consent as indicated herein:

1. That the applicant prepare and deposit a reference plan detailing the portion of the existing reserve
block bounding the subject lands and the existing municipal right of way, as a separate part.
For the applicant’s information, and to allow adequate processing time, this reference plan must be
submitted six weeks prior to the applicants anticipated completion of the severance. This is due to the
need for an authorizing By-Law to be enacted prior to the lifting of the subject portion of the reserve
block, providing access for the severed or retained lands of municipal services and the right of way.
The existing reserve adjacent to the road allowance is to be dedicated as a public highway.
necessary By-Law must be enacted prior to satisfaction of the condition.
