Two (2) applications for consent have been submitted for the lands located at 11 Bird Lane and the abutting lot with no civic address assigned, which are legally described as Lot 5 and part of Lots 6 and 7 on Plan 15, Macaulay Ward, Town of Bracebridge. The applications were submitted for the purpose of reciprocal lot additions. As noted on the key plan, the subject lands for application D10-20/25 reflect the lot configuration that will exist once provisionally approved consent application D10-01/23 has been finalized and a portion of the lot has been added to the abutting lot to the east.

The subject lands in application D10-51/24 are approximately 947 square metres (0.23 acres) in area with 37.4 metres (122.6 feet) of frontage on Bird Lane and 21.3 metres (69.9 feet) of frontage on the inner limit of the original shore road allowance (OSRA) abutting the Muskoka River. The proposed severed lot, to be added to Lot 5 of Plan 15, is approximately 45.1 square metres (485 square feet) in area with 8.5 metres (28.0 feet) of frontage on Bird Lane and no OSRA or water frontage. The resultant retained lot would be 902.0 square metres (0.22 acres) in area with approximately 28.8 metres (94.6 feet) of frontage on Bird Lane and 21.3 metres (69.9 feet) of frontage on the OSRA abutting the Muskoka River.

The subject lands in application D10-20/25 are approximately 1,059.9 square metres (0.26 acres) in area with 20.0 metres (65.5 feet) of frontage on Bird Lane and 38.6 metres (126.8 feet) of frontage on the OSRA. The proposed severed lot, to be added to part of Lots 6 and 7 of Plan 15, is approximately 27.8 square metres (300.0 square feet) in area with no road frontage and 16.4 metres (53.9 feet) of frontage on the OSRA. The resultant retained lot would be 1,032.1 square metres (0.26 acres) in area with approximately 20.0 metres (65.5 feet) of frontage on Bird Land and 37.7 metres (123.8 feet) of frontage on the OSRA.

The resultant lots after the completion of both lot additions would have the following sizes:

11 Bird Lane, being part of Lots 6 and 7 on Plan 15, Macaulay Ward, Town of Bracebridge would be 929.8 square metres (0.23 acres) in area with 28.8 metres (94.6 feet) of frontage on Bird Lane and 37.7 metres (123.8 feet) of frontage on the OSRA; and
No civic address, being Lot 5 on Plan 15, Macaulay Ward, Town of Bracebridge would be 1,077.1 square metres (0.27 acres) in area with 28.5 metres (93.5 feet) of frontage on Bird Lane and 22.3 metres (73.0 feet) of frontage on the OSRA.
