was considered by the SUBDIVISION & DEVELOPMENT APPEAL BOARD on March 22 2017 and the decision of the SUBDIVISION & DEVELOPMENT APPEAL BOARD with regard to the appeal is as follows and for the following reasons: Background Facts The hearing related to an appeal made by David Boychuk on behalf of the named landowners respecting the conditional approval by the Subdivision Authority on Subdivision Application No. LC-16-18 for a 6.83 acre (2.76 ha) vacant yard site from 158.8 acres (64.3). The purpose of the hearing was to gather evidence and information from involved and concerned parties in order to give the Board Members enough information to make an informed decision. Stephen Hill – Director of Planning and Community Services, Subdivision Authority, Lamont County, and David Boychuk, the appellant/agent presented evidence for the appeal. Decision Upon review of the applicant’s submission of appeal to amend subdivision application LC-16-18, the Board denies the appeal and confirms the decision of the Subdivision Authority that the subdivision shall be conditionally approved for two parcels, with an adjustment in the width and length, reducing the 6.83 acre (2.76 ha) vacant yard site to 5 acres (2.02 ha), leaving a balance of 151.97 acres (61.5 ha) Reasons In the Board's opinion, from the evidence provided at this hearing did not provide a sufficient planning reason to justify a variation in Lamont County Statutory Plans. Additionally it was noted that accurate measurement of the proposed subdivided parcel by a surveyor would alleviate the Applicant’s concerns. The conditional approval of the Subdivision Authority shall continue. Therefore subdivision of the vacant yard site parcel shall not exceed 5 acres (2.02 ha) in accordance with the Lamont County Municipal Development Plan 674/07 and Lamont County Land Use Bylaw 675/07: 1.
A single residential parcel in the Agricultural Use area shall be the smallest necessary to encompass the residential use.
