Notice of Complete Application and Public Meeting

In accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, as amended, this Notice is to advise that the Township of Cavan Monaghan Planning Department received a complete application for a Zoning By-law Amendment. The Application applies to an existing lot of record known municipally as 2078 Davis Road in part of Lot 1, Concession 11 (North Monaghan).

The Zoning By-law Amendment is required to permit a shipping container to be located on site, to permit the shipping container to be used as an accessory building for storage purposes, and to recognize the location of the storage container on site.

The property at 2078 Davis Road is approximately 0.21 hectares (0.51 acres) in size with frontage of approximately 66.7 metres (218.88 feet) on Davis Road. The property is currently developed with a commercial office building and a shipping container. The office building is serviced with private water and sanitary sewage treatment systems.
