Purpose and Effect:

The subject property located at 973 Mid Belmont 7^th Line is currently zoned as ‘Rural Holding (RU-H) Zone’ within the Comprehensive Zoning By-law. The Holding (H) Symbol was placed on the property, as per Section 3.6.3.10 of the Township Official Plan, to restrict development until such time to address development proposals within 500 metres (1,640 feet) around the footprint of an open or closed waste disposal site. The Holding Symbol may only be removed when a study, undertaken by a qualified professional, is completed that assesses landfill gases, ground and surface water contamination, odour, litter, vehicular traffic, visual impact, dust, noise, or other air emissions, vector and vermin.

The conditions of the Holding (H) Provision have been fulfilled, and the Township is in a position to remove the Holding symbol. Therefore, the effect of removing the Holding Symbol will allow the subject lands to be used in accordance with the prevailing zoning of the ‘Rural (RU) Zone’ and will permit the construction of a single family dwelling on the subject lands. 

A key map showing the lands to which this application applies is provided with this notice.

If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Council of the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen on the removal of the Holding Provision (H) you must make a written request to the Clerk of the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen at the address below.
