subject property through our review of the severance application

On June 13, 1989, June Archibald-Murphy, N.V.C.A. Planning
Technician, approved a "revised" severance application which
indicated a SPECIFIC site plan showing that all proposed
development (including septic) would be located above the
Regional Floodplain limits of Willow Creek. (see letter and
plan, attached).

This Special Public Meeting effects lands
described as Part of Lot 10, Concession
2. The only portion of lands that was
applied for and requested and which will
be considered for rezoning is the area
above the floodplain area. That land is
currently zoned Agricultural and the
request is to change it to Rural
Residential.
The request is as the result of a
granting of a severance by the Committee
of Adjustment and as a condition of
granting of that severance that the lands
be rezoned from the proposed use, which
is Rural Residential.
The Deputy Reeve, after inquiring and ascertaining that there
were no questions from those present, thanked those in attendance
for their participation and advised Council would consider all
matters before reaching a decision. He also advised those
present that if they wished to be notified of the passing of the
proposed By-Law, they should leave their name and address with
