The Mayor advised Council would now hold public meetings for proposed
Consent and Zoning By‐law Amendment Applications.

The Mayor advised in accordance with the Planning Act, Council would consider
all matters placed before it prior to granting a Consent or passing a Zoning By‐law.

The Mayor advised if a person or public body who files an appeal of a decision of
the Council of The Corporation of the Township of Seguin in respect of a proposed
Consent does not make written submissions to the Council before it provides or
refuses to provide a provisional Consent, the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal may
dismiss the appeal.

The Mayor advised anyone who wished to receive Notice of the passing of a
Zoning By‐law Amendment not owning land within 120 metres of the area to
which it applies and who has not submitted such a request in writing should
provide their full name and address to the Clerk.

The Mayor advised if a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a
public meeting or make written submissions to the Council of The Corporation of
the Township of Seguin, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the
decision of Council to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal and the person or public
body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Local
Planning Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are
reasonable grounds to do so.

(Russell/Newton) is to sever an existing 0.64 hectare waterfront parcel at 31 High
Hill Road, mutually owned by the Russell’s and Newton’s. As a Condition of

existing lot would be added to the benefitting lands at 36 High Hill Road (the
Russell’s). The remaining 0.32 hectares would be added to the benefitting lands at
27 High Hill Road (the Newton’s).
