Dated at the Municipality of South Huron
This 13th day of June 2007
Sandra Strang, Clerk,
Municipality of South Huron,
322 Main St., P.O. Box 759, Exeter, Ontario, NOM 1S6
PURPOSE AND EFFECT
The purpose of this zoning by-law amendment is to establish a new mini-
mum frontage and minimum lot size for properties zoned Village
Residential -Low Density (VR1) in the villages of Crediton and Centralia, as
these communities are now being serviced by municipal sewers.
Before the installation of municipal sanitary sewers in Crediton and
Centralia, building lots were sized to accommodate a septic system. As
such the minimum lot size was typically determined by the Huron County
Health Unit through the requirement for new lots to be large enough to be
serviced by private septic systems.
The existing zoning by-law for Stephen Ward requires a minimum lot size
in a `Village Residential' (VR1) zone on private septic and municipal water
of 796m2 (8568 ft2) and a minimum frontage of 23 metres (75 feet). The
minimum lot area required by the Huron County Health Unit to protect
public health interests however has been consistently larger in Crediton
and Centralia than the minimum lot size permitted in the Stephen zoning
by-law.
Now that municipal water and sewer service will be available for proper-
ties within the urban designation, lots are no longer required to be sized to
accommodate septic systems. In communities where full municipal
sewer/water services exist, minimum lot size and frontage is consistently
smaller than in communities that are serviced by septic systems. As
Centralia and Crediton are now going to be serviced by municipal water
and sewer, there is an opportunity to consider lots with a smaller frontage
and minimum lot size.
This zoning by-law amendment proposes to allow new residential lots that
are connected to municipal water and municipal sewer in Crediton and
Centralia to be created with a minimum frontage of 20 metres (66 feet)
and a minimum lot area of 760 m2 (8180 ft2).
This by-law amends zoning by-law #12-1984, of the former Township of
Stephen. This by-law applies to properties zoned Village Residential (VR1)
in the villages of Crediton and Centralia.
