(photos/Nina Van Lieshout) MUNICIPALITY OF PUBLIC MEETING CONCERNING A PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT AFFECTING THE VILLAGES OF CREDITON & CENTRALIA MUNICIPALITY OF SOUTH HURON TAKE NOTICE that Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of South Huron will hold a public meeting on Monday, July 9, 2007 at 7:30 p.m. in the Olde Town Hall Council Chambers, 322 Main St., Exeter to consider a proposed zoning by-law amendment under Section 34 of the Planning Act. BE ADVISED that staff of the Municipality of South Huron considered this application to be complete on May 7, 2007. ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or ver- bal representation either in support or in opposition to the proposed zoning by-law amendment. ONLY individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf. NO PERSON or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal unless, before the by-law passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the proposed zoning by-law amendment is available for inspection during regular office hours at the Municipality of South Huron Municipal Office (322 Main St., Exeter), (519) 235-0310 and the County of Huron Planning and Development Department (519) 524-8394 ext. 3. 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.
