3.1 10% Lot Frontage Waiver Request for Application HO-SUB-2023.2 (Mason & Grayson) - 
Staff Report 
The Planner summarized the staff report and highlighted the following: 
 Subject property to be subdivided into two lots; 
 Land Use Bylaw requires any proposed lot have minimum 10% of perimeter for 
access and; 
 Requirement cannot be met for subject property and applicant seeks a waiver in 
order to permit the lots to have less than 10% frontage on a roadway. 
 
Discussion ensued and the following comments and answers to questions were noted: 
 Rationale for granting the waiver is there are no anticipated negative impacts to 
access, circulation, or safety; 
 Staff clarified that the application is for a waiver request and not a variance; 
 Perimeter of Lots 1 and 2 measure 937 and 943 metres respectively and proposed 
combined frontage access to both lots is 23.46 metres per the staff report; 
 Existing frontage is already less than 10% requirement;

 Subdivision is an administrative process in that an applicant applies to the Ministry 
of Transportation and Infrastructure with the Provincial Approving Officer to 
subdivide, the Local Trust Committee receives a referral from the Ministry to ensure 
the proposed layout meets the adopted Land Use Bylaw, the referral response 
outlines any conditions that need to be met, and the Ministry/Provincial Approving 
Officer is the body that approves or denies the subdivision; and 
 Trustees noted concern that the process does not require consultation with 
adjacent property owners or statutory public notification.  
 
The applicant was in attendance and made the following comments: 
 Application is in compliance with bylaws; 
 No further subdivision of the property will be possible due to layout; 
 Approval or denial of subdivision is in the jurisdiction of Ministry of Transportation 
and Infrastructure; and 
 Has not spoken to neighbours because the waiver will have no effect on adjacent 
property owners as road access is already in place.
