Council also approved the request to permit creation of five new residential building lots through land severance applications, rather than by a plan of subdivision on the subject lands. Conditions of approval have now been satisfied and a draft amending by-law has been prepared. Since the performance standards for the subject lands are the same as for the lands located to the south (Subdivision 1ST 98007) that were implemented by adoption of Zoning By-law 5770/00, zoning for the subject lands is being implemented by extending the boundary of the "SI-lY' zone category on Schedule I of Zoning By-law 5770/00 to include the subject lands. The draft by-law has been circulated to and approved by the applicant and is attached for the consideration of City Council at their meeting scheduled for March 4, 2002. A Statutory Public Meeting was held for this application on January 17, 2002. Please note that this by-law may be given all three readings at the March 4, 2002 Council Meeting. The purpose and effect of this by-law is to amend Zoning By-law 3036, as amended, to permit the development of five lots for detached dwellings, with minimum frontages of 15 metres and minimum lot areas of 460 square metres on the subject lands. The lots will be located on an extension of Rockwood Drive to be constructed north of Prohill Street.
