Purpose of Meeting: The Municipality of Lakeshore has received a Zoning By-law Amendment application for the farm property known municipally as 475 Rochester Townline Road.

As a condition of the provisional consent, the applicant is applying to rezone the retained farmland parcel to prohibit residential dwellings on the retained farmland parcel, as required in the Lakeshore Official Plan and Provincial Policy Statement. Attached to this notice is an aerial photo of 475 Rochester Townline Road. Also attached is a map detailing the surplus lot (lot to be severed), and the retained farmland parcel that is subject
to this Zoning By-law Amendment. A copy of Plan 12R-29657, and a draft copy of this survey plan, details the lot to be severed and is also attached to this notice.
