DISCUSSION

REPORT


THE COUNTY OF LANARK

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE April 4, 2012

Report #PD-13-2012 of the

Planning Approvals Administrator

REQUEST FOR EXTENSIONS SUB-DIVISION 09-T-05002

PART LOT 3 AND 4 CONCESSION 2 TOWNSHIP OF BECKWITH

1. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS

“THAT, the lapsing date of draft approval for Subdivision No. 09-T-05002 for lands described as North Part Lot 4 and Part Lot 3 Concession 2, Township of Beckwith, be extended three (3) months to July 28, 2012 to allow the local municipality time to consider the request for up to a three year extension to draft plan approval.”


2. PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to recommend approval of a three (3) month extension to the lapsing date of draft plan approval for Subdivision Application No. 09-T-05002.

3. BACKGROUND Subsection 51 (33) of the Planning Act provides that the approval authority may extend the approval of a draft plan of subdivision for a time period specified by the approval authority and may further extend it but no extension is permissible is the approval lapses before the extension is given. By-law No. 2007-16 which came into effect on the 1st day of April 2007, established a $600 fee for each one year extension of draft approval beyond the lapsing dated stated in the notice of decision. The Subdivision was draft approved in two phases. All provisions of “Phase I” have been completed - Registration of Plan and signing of Subdivision Agreement.

Mr. Campbell also advises that he intends to proceed with “Phase II” (25 lots) once the demand for lots becomes evident.

On April 4, 2012, Mr. Campbell requested up to a three (3) year extension to draft plan

approval. It is the County’s policy to request the local municipality to review the request and provide a recommendation on whether or not they concur with the request for extension.

4. DISCUSSION Due to the time of receipt of the request, and taking into consideration timing of meetings, it has been determined that a three (3) month extension will allow sufficient time for the Township to undertake it’s review, report to the County and subsequent reporting to Community Development and County Council, prior to the lapsing date.

5. ANALYSIS AND OPTIONS A three (3) month extension to the lapsing date will enable the Township of Beckwith time to review the plan of subdivision and consider the request for up to a three year extension of lapsing draft approval, under Section 51(32) of the Planning Act, and the subsequent reporting to Community Development Committee and County Council. If the request to give an extension is refused, draft approval for Phase II will lapse and the developer will have the option of either abandoning the proposal or submitting a new subdivision application.


The only outstanding issue relating to Phase II of the subdivision is the preparation and adoption of the Subdivision Agreement. The applicant has been discussing the options with the Township of Beckwith since November 2008.

6. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications to the County. Should the Township recommend proceeding with the extension to the lapsing of draft approval , and the approval authority (County) approves the extension, the applicant will be required to submit a fee of $600.00 for each year of extension.

7. LOCAL MUNICIPAL IMPACT The proposal is required to be reviewed by the Township of Beckwith.

8. CONCLUSIONS A three-month extension of the lapsing date of the draft approved plan is appropriate.
