Planning Department:
The owner of the subject lands is seeking approval of its request to create a parcel of land having an
area of approximately 977.2 m 2 (10,518.5 ft 2 ) and having a frontage of approximately 16.18 m (53.07 ft)
along the future extension of Arten Avenue. The lands to be retained, 235 Elgin Mills Road West, would
have a lot area of approximately 1,106.2 m 2 (11,907.03 ft 2 ) with a frontage of 16.15 m (53 ft) along Elgin
Mills Road West, and contain an existing dwelling, which is to remain. This application has been
submitted in conjunction with severance application B015/12.
Staff has reviewed the development request and would note that the proposal would conform with the
infil policies of both the existing and new Town Official Plans and would facilitate a Draft Approved Plan
of Subdivision and the future extension of Arten Avenue. Staff is further of the opinion the severance
application constitutes proper and orderly development of the subject lands.
However, staff is aware of the potential for the parcel to be landlocked if it is permitted to be created
prior to the registration of the Plan of Subdivision. In order for this issue to be avoided, it is recognized
that the block constituting the addition to the road allowance (shown as part 4 on the reference plan
attached with the application) would have to be dedicated first, followed by the registration of the Plan of
Subdivision, and then followed by the final clearance of the creation of the severed parcel. Given that
Development Engineering has already outlined this procedure and has recommended approval with
appropriate conditions, staff has no objections and would recommend the application be approved.
