P. 13, as amended.

Applicant: Esker Aggregates Co. Ltd (Agents: Hunter and Forrest Tremblay)

Location: Concession 5, Part of Lots 7 and 8, Registered Plan 6R-9423, Parts 1-4, Parcel 23799 SEC, Murphy Township, City of Timmins

On November 28, 2022, the City of Timmins Committee of Adjustment conditionally approved consent applications B-35-22 and B-36-22 under the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990 c. P.13, to transfer a portion of the subject lands from Esker Aggregates Co. Ltd. to Big Water Campground Inc, located at 6940 Highway 655. A condition of the two consent approvals is that the applicant apply for, and receive, City of Timmins Council approval for a zoning by-law amendment to re-zone the proposed lot addition lands from Mineral Extraction (RD-MX) and Rural (RD-RU) to an appropriate zone.

THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone the subject lands currently zoned Mineral Extraction (RD-MX) and Rural (RD-RU) to Resort Commercial (EA-CR) to permit all uses in the Resort Commercial (EA-CR) zone and provide a buffer between Big Water Campground and Esker Aggregates Co. Ltd. operations.

ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.

If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of Council of the City of Timmins to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Timmins before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the City of Timmins before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

If you wish to be notified of the decision of the City of Timmins on the proposed zoning by-law amendment, you must make a written request to Steph Palmateer, City Clerk, City of Timmins, 220 Algonquin Boulevard East, Timmins, Ontario, P4N 1B3.
