Purpose and Effect
The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to add severance policies to Section 5, Land Division, of the Township of East Wawanosh Secondary Plan; and to change
the designation on Part of Lot 42, Cone. 13 (5 acres) from "Restricted Agriculture" to "Commercial (Urban)" to be added to the urban area of Hutton Heights.
Two different severance policies are proposed to be added to the Township of East Wawanosh Secondary Plan to permit severances within the agricultural areas of the
Township of East Wawanosh. The severance policies will have the following effect:
Policies are proposed to be added to the agricultural section which will permit the severance of a second permanent residence where two permanent residences are
presently located on one agricultural parcel. Such residences must have been constructed prior to January, 1983 and must satisfy a number of policies to ensure that
adequate area is available for septic disposal and water supply without removing any more agricultural land from production than necessary. In addition the residence
must be situated in such a fashion that the severance of the residence from the farm parcel will not restrict any existing livestock operations and will meet with the
Minimum Separation Distance requirements of the
Agricultural Code of Practice.
Secondly, policies are proposed to be added to the
agricultural section to permit the severance of a residence
which was previously severed for life long lease purposes for
a retiring farmer. The Township has recognized that life long
lease arrangements are awkward situations which cause
difficulties for the owners and tenants. Life long lease
arrangements are a policy that was incorporated into the
Township Secondary Plan in 1883. Prior to this, a
permanence severance for retirement residential purposes
was permitted. In instances where severances for life long
lease purposes for retiring farmers were permitted between
1983 and 1990, these residences may be severed
permanently subject to a number of detailed criteria. These
criteria are similar to the criteria identified for the severance
of a second permanent residence on the same farm parcel, as
noted above.
Finally, this Official Plan Amendment proposes to change the
designation on a 5 acre parcel of land located in the northeast
corner of Lot 42, Cone. 13, Township of East Wawanosh. The
subject property is presently designated Restricted
Agriculture on Schedule B, Land Use Plan, Township of East
Wawanosh Secondary Plan and is proposed to be
redesignated Commercial as part of the urban area of Hutton
Heights. This parcel of land presently contains two
commercial buildings. The location of these buildings lend
themselves to General Highway Commercial type
development not necessarily related to agriculture. The
rezoning will change the zoning of Part Lot 42, VC2-1 (Village
Commercial Highway - Special Provisions) to recognize the
highway commercial nature of the property and the presence
of two main buildings on the property. An additional
permitted use of a contractor's or tradesman's shop or yard
is also added. As a result, this redesignation and a
corresponding rezoning are proposed to allow for highway
commercial uses to be permitted for the subject parcel.
Designation change from Agriculture to
Restricted Agriculture to recognize the
extension of the urban area of Hutton heights
