Compliance for an existing maintenance shop, existing auxiliary
building, and yard; construction of an addition to the existing shop;
variance to side yard setback.
The Manager of Planning and Development provided background
information on the proposed development permit. It was noted that
this permit will bring the entire operation into compliance. A letter
received from an adjacent landowner was reviewed. The letter
expressed concerns regarding the side yard setback and future
implications this may have on the neighbouring parcel. The Manager
of Planning and Development responded that she had discussed this
with the County Planner and it is not the liability of the County of
Newell but a legal matter between the landowners.
P-89/11 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR A. EASTMAN that the Municipal Planning
Commission APPROVE Development Permit #3545 for compliance to an
existing maintenance shop, existing auxiliary building, and yard;
construction of an addition to the existing shop; variance to side yard
setback subject to the following conditions:
This permit is being granted only to provide compliance for an existing
10,455 ft2 (971.3 m2) maintenance and repair shop, with a variance to
the side yard setback requirement. It also provides compliance for an
existing 9459 ft2 (878 m2) auxiliary building and the storage yard
associated with the business. Finally, the permit grants approval for the
construction of a 335.8 ft2 (31.2 m2) addition to the existing shop, on
lands legally described as Block 4 & 7, Plan 751 0619 1302, NE 8-19-14
