NOTICE OF STATUTORY PUBLIC MEETING
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT NO. Z01-2024
395 STURGEON RIVER ROAD (MOSHER)
THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF SIOUX LOOKOUT

TAKE NOTICE THAT an application for Zoning By-law Amendment has been submitted under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter p. 13, as amended, by Mark Mosher and Katelyn Mosher for the subject property known locally as 395 Sturgeon River Road. The subject property is described legally as RANGE 1 PT LOT 11 PCL 20690. The subject property is shown on the Key Map included in this Notice. 

The PURPOSE AND EFFECT of the Zoning By-law Amendment Application (Z01-2024) is to permit a secondary dwelling unit on the subject property, that exceeds the maximum size requirement in Section 4.28 iii) of the Zoning By-law.

There is currently a single detached dwelling on the subject property with a size of 73 square metres.  The owners are proposing a new single detached dwelling that has a size of 140 square metres.  Following the construction of the new larger single detached dwelling, the owners are proposing to legalize the existing smaller single detached dwelling as a secondary dwelling unit.  Secondary dwelling units are permitted in the Rural Residential (RR) Zone. 

The maximum size of a secondary dwelling unit in Section 4.28 iii) of the Zoning By-law is 40 percent of the gross floor area of the primary dwelling unit up to a maximum of 56.0 square metres.  The existing single detached dwelling and proposed secondary dwelling unit is 73 square metres, therefore requiring the amendment. 

The Municipality of Sioux Lookout will consider the applications at the Statutory Public Meeting on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at the Municipal Office
