Public Meeting
Le canton de Greater Madawaska doit décider du zonage du 314, chemin Kennedy.
Le canton de Greater Madawaska tiendra une réunion publique le 11 juin 2026 pour discuter d'un amendement de zonage concernant le 314, chemin Kennedy. La proposition vise à rezoner la propriété de Résidentiel rural à Résidentiel rural exception vingt-trois (RR-E23) afin de permettre une unité de logement secondaire au-dessus d'un garage détaché. L'amendement demande également des réductions du retrait latéral intérieur à 0 mètre et du retrait de l'eau du système septique à 15,2 mètres. Les résidents peuvent y assister en personne ou virtuellement, et le fait de ne pas soumettre de commentaires avant l'adoption du règlement peut limiter les droits d'appel auprès du Tribunal de l'aménagement du territoire de l'Ontario.
- Rezonage du 314, chemin Kennedy de Résidentiel rural (RR) à Résidentiel rural exception vingt-trois (RR-E23)
- Autorisation d'une unité de logement secondaire existante au-dessus d'un garage détaché
