EXPLANATION OF THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED CONSENT APPLICATION

Two applications for consent have been submitted for the lands located at 1721 Muskoka Beach Road and legally described as Lot 9, Concession 11, Muskoka Ward, Town of Bracebridge. If approved, the applications would result in two severed parcels and one retained parcel, as well as the creation of a right-of-way for driveway access.

The subject lands are approximately 40.6 hectares (100 acres) in area with approximately 270.0 metres (885.8 feet) of frontage on Muskoka Beach Road. Based on the current land configuration, Severed Lot 1 would be approximately 2.8 hectares (6.9 acres) in area and have 106.2 metres (348.4 feet) of frontage on Muskoka Beach Road. Severed Lot 2 would be approximately 2.8 hectares (6.9 acres) in area and have no frontage on Muskoka Beach Road. The Retained Lot would have a resultant lot area of approximately 35 hectares (86.5 acres) in area and have 107 metres (351.05 feet) of frontage on Muskoka Beach Road. Staff’s understanding is that the agent and applicant are working with the District Municipality of Muskoka, so that the District may potentially acquire the Town road allowance and add it to Muskoka Beach Road, resulting in Severed Lot 1 having 135 metres (442.9 feet) of lot frontage, Severed Lot 2 having 140.3 metres (460.3 feet) of lot frontage, and the Retained Lot having 135 metres (442.9 feet) of lot frontage. Additionally, a 6.1 metre wide right-of-way is proposed over Severed Lot 1 in favour of Severed Lot 2 for access onto Muskoka Beach Road.
