ONE OAK MUSKOKA INC. - ROLL NUMBER 050 007 101 00

EXPLANATION OF THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND ZONING BY-LAW:

The zoning amendment proposes to amend the Town of Bracebridge’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2016-088 by changing the zoning on part of the subject lands from the present zones of Shoreline Residential Type 1 (SR1) in part and Rural (RU) in part to Shoreline Residential Type 4 (SR4) in part, Rural Residential Special – 43 (RR-43) in part, Environmental Protection One (EP1) in part and Environmental Protection Wetland One (EPW1) in part.

Consent Applications D10-03/23 through to D10-09/23 have been granted conditional approval on the subject lands, which resulted in seven severed parcels and one retained parcel. The purpose of the rezoning is to fulfill a condition of these consent applications to bring both the severed and retained lots into compliance with the Comprehensive Zoning By-Law #2016-088 and to implement recommendations of an Environmental Impact Study (EIS).

The Shoreline Residential Type 4 (SR4) zone permits a Detached Dwelling or Seasonal Dwelling with accessory uses of Sleeping Cabin and Home Occupation

The Rural Residential Special – 43 (RR-43) zone permitted uses would be limited to Detached Dwelling with accessory uses of Bed & Breakfast, Home Occupation and Second Dwelling Unit subject to the following provisions:

· That the minimum lot frontage is 150 metres.

Both the Environmental Protection One (EP1) and Environmental Protection Wetland One (EPW1) would not permit any structural development and would also implement recommendations of the associated Environmental Impact Study (EIS). Additionally, the proposed limits of the Environmental Protection One (EP1) zone includes the required setbacks for the watercourse, wetlands adjacent to the watercourse, seep adjacent to the watercourse and woodland raptor nesting identified within the EIS.
