Proposed Motions
1. That Bylaw No. 2013-21 receive first reading.
2. That a public hearing be scheduled for September 24, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. to hear public comment on Bylaw No. 2013-21.
Body
Administration's Position
Administration supports the recommendations.
Purpose
An application was made in 2012 by the landowners of Lots 13 and 14, Block 1, Plan 8021782 to relocate a portion of Lot 36ER due to an encroachment by a detached garage.
Summary
Bylaw No. 06-2012 was passed by Council on May 8, 2012 (after public hearing held April 10, 2012) to amend the boundaries of Environmental Reserve Lot 36 ER, Block 1, Plan 8021782 to rectify the encroachment of a detached garage. The applicant has failed to register the amended boundaries within the 365 days allotted, therefore, Bylaw No. 06-2012 is now redundant and a new bylaw (Bylaw No. 2013-21) is needed to allow for an additional 365 days for the applicant to register the lands.
Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications
Pursuant to Section 676(1)(d) of the Municipal Government Act, Council may change the boundaries of an Environmental Reserve in order to correct an omission, error or other defect in the certificate of title, or to rectify an encroachment problem or other concern. Council has the authority to include terms and conditions for this Bylaw pursuant to Section 676(2) of the Municipal Government Act.
Alternative Options
1. Council could table first reading of Bylaw No. 2013-21 and request additional information.
2. Council could defeat Bylaw No. 2013-21 at first reading.
