✨ AI Summary
### Summary: Notice of Intent to Close and Dispose of Shore Road Allowances The Town of Huntsville is proposing to stop up, close, and sell three specific portions of "Original Shore Road Allowance" (OSRA) to the abutting property owners. #### **Key Details** * **Target Properties:** * 738 Riverlea Road (Owner: White) * 629 Canal Road (Owner: 1001044357 Ontario Inc.) * 3385 South Portage Road (Owner: HLD Corporation) * **Legal Basis:** The by-law is being considered under Sections 9 and 35 of the *Municipal Act, 2001*. * **Decision Date:** The matter will be reviewed during the regular Council meeting on **September 28, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.** in the Council Chambers. #### **Objectives** * **Surplus Disposal:** To officially reclassify these sections of public land as "surplus" and transfer ownership to the adjacent private property owners. * **Regulatory Cleanup:** To formalize the closure of these road allowances, effectively removing them from public usage as municipal road segments. #### **Potential Implications for the Community** * **Private Land Acquisition:** The abutting property owners will gain legal title to the land, which is often done to rectify historical encroachments or to provide shoreline security. * **Public Access:** Once closed and sold, these areas will no longer be public property, which may limit future municipal use or public access to these specific shoreline segments. * **Right to Appeal:** Affected parties (those who believe their own property will be negatively impacted by these closures) have the right to voice their concerns. #### **How to Participate** * **Public Comment:** If you believe your land would be "prejudicially affected" by these closures, you have the right to address Council at the September 28, 2026, meeting. * **Written Submissions:** Interested parties are encouraged to submit written comments to the Town Clerk prior to the meeting.

Lot creation and zoning change proposed at 91 Macks Road
Council is considering an application to create two new rural residential lots at 91 Macks Road. The proposal includes a zoning amendment from Rural to Rural Residential with an exception allowing alternative lot standards.
✨ AI Summary
### Summary: Proposed Lot Creation and Zoning Change at 91 Macks Road The Town of Huntsville is reviewing applications regarding a property located at 91 Macks Road (Part Lot 21, Concession 3). The proposal seeks to subdivide the land into two new rural residential lots. #### Key Objectives * **Lot Creation:** The applicant aims to create two new rural residential lots, with both the severed and retained lots proposed to have an area of 2.37 hectares and 60 meters of frontage along Macks Road. * **Zoning Amendment:** To facilitate this development, the applicant is requesting an amendment to the Community Planning Permit By-law. This would change the zoning of the land from "Rural (RU)" to "Rural Residential with Exception (RR-XXXX)," allowing for the application of "Alternative Rural Residential Lot Standards." #### Important Dates and Participation * **Public Meeting:** A public meeting will be held by the Planning Council on **Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at 1:00 PM** at the Town Hall (Council Chambers, 3rd Floor, 37 Main Street East, Huntsville). * **Written Submissions:** The public is encouraged to submit comments in writing to the Planning Department prior to the meeting. Written submissions are also required if a party wishes to be notified of the decision or to preserve their right to appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal. * **Consent Application:** While no public meeting is being held for the consent applications (B/36-37/2026/HTE), written objections or comments can still be submitted to the Town before September 15, 2026. #### Potential Implications for the Community * **Land Use Change:** The re-designation from "Rural" to "Rural Residential" shifts the land use, potentially setting a precedent for development density in the area. * **Appeal Rights:** It is important for residents to note that the ability to appeal the Council’s decision to the Ontario Land Tribunal is limited. Individuals or public bodies who do not participate in the process by providing oral or written submissions may forfeit their right to appeal or be added as a party to any future hearings. *For further details, site sketches, or instructions on virtual meeting participation, residents can visit [www.huntsville.ca/PC](http://www.huntsville.ca/PC) or contact the Town of Huntsville Planning Department at 705-789-1751 (Ext. 2409).*
