Location:

The key map shows the location of the lands which are subject to the application described as Part E ½ Lot 15, Concession 3 (Dummer Ward), 465 Cooper Road, in the Township of Douro-Dummer, Ontario.

Purpose and Effect of Application:

The owner has applied to amend the existing zoning of a portion of a parcel of land located at 465 Cooper Road, in the former Township of Dummer, (now the Dummer Ward of the Township of Douro-Dummer) in the County of Peterborough.

The land in question is currently zoned the Rural Zone (RU). The effect of this By-law Amendment is to rezone a portion of the proposed severed parcel (Lot 2) from the Rural Zone (RU) to the Environmental Conservation Zone (EC) to recognize the vegetative protective zone (VPZ) of an unevaluated wetland.

This rezoning is required as a condition of Application for Consent (File B-88-21), that was conditionally approved by Peterborough County on March 22, 2022.  

The Right to Appeal:

If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Township of Douro-Dummer to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Douro-Dummer before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the Township of Douro-Dummer before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Any person may attend the electronic/virtual public meeting and make written and/or verbal submissions either in support of or in opposition to the proposed zoning by-law amendment. In order to make arrangements to attend the virtual meeting, please contact the Acting Clerk by email no later than 9:00 a.m. on the day of the scheduled meeting. It is the responsibility of the interested member of the public to have technology in place to connect to the meeting.
