Take Notice that the Council of the Township of Cavan Monaghan will hold a public meeting of the Committee of Adjustment to consider a proposed minor variance under Section 45 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended.

Date and Time: Tuesday December 16, 2025 at 9:00 a.m.
Location of 11: Union Street Part of Lots 23 and 24, RP No. 8 (Cavan)
Subject Lands: Township of Cavan Monaghan
Property Roll Number: 1509-020-020-157-02

The lands subject to the minor variance application are shown below.

Purpose of the Proposed Minor Variance:

The owner of 11 Union Street is currently constructing a 193.5 square metre (2083 square foot) semi-detached dwelling on the property. The dwelling is proposed to be connected to municipal services.

A minor variance, completed to the satisfaction of the Township, is a condition of Severance Application No. B-06-25. The severance is required to establish separate ownership of the semi-detached dwellings.

A minor variance is required to vary section 12.2.7 of By-law No. 2018-58, as amended,to reduce the width of the required planting strip between the driveways and the shared lot line to permit semi-detached dwellings on the property.

The subject property is an existing lot of record created by Severance Application B-15-23. The subject property has a lot area measuring approximately 850 square metres (0.2 acres) and approximately 21 metres (70 feet) fronting on to Union Street.

The lands subject to the Application are zoned Urban Residential Two (UR2) as shown on Map E-2A to By-law No. 2018-58, as amended. Semi-detached dwellings are permitted in the UR2 Zone.

Section 12.2.7 of By-law No. 2018-58, as amended, requires a minimum one (1) metre (3.28 foot) planting strip between the parking area and any adjacent lot line. A vegetated buffer is required to be maintained between the properties. The submitted site plan proposes a 0.3 metre (1 foot) planted strip between the parking areas and the
interior lot line.

The purpose and effect of the minor variance is to reduce the required width of the planting strip between the parking areas and the lot line separating the proposed severed and retained parcels from 1 metre (3.28 feet) to 0.3 metres (1 foot). All other requirements of the UR2 Zone will apply.
