Application Details
Property Address: 6343 BILLY GREEN ROAD

Notice of Public Meeting on Zoning By-law Amendment Application PLZBA20260009
to be held by the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac

Public Meeting Details
Date: March 03, 2026
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Location: 4432 George Street, Sydenham and on Zoom

Application Details
Property Address: Leveque Road
Applicant: Brad Hornbeck

Purpose and Effect of the Proposed By-law
The by-law would place a holding symbol on the Rural zone on the retained lands from consent applications PL-BDJ-2024-0078 to PL-BDJ-2024-0080. The holding symbol would require a satisfactory hydrogeological study before a building permit could be issued for any form of housing. This is necessary because the owner was unable to find sufficient water on the lot for a residential use.

Starting in 2026, South Frontenac’s Day Camp program will implement a four-week maximum attendance limit per camper per summer.

South Frontenac Township is pleased to share that Family Day 2026 will be celebrated at the Frontenac Community Arena (4299 Arena Boundary Rd, Godfrey, ON) on Monday, February 16, 2026, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Application Details
Property Location: Between Bittersweet Drive and Petworth Road (refer to key map)
Applicant: 1278804 Ontario Inc.
Agent: Fotenn Consultants Inc.

Purpose and Effect of the Applications
The owner is proposing to extend Bittersweet Drive to Petworth Road, and to develop a 34 lot residential subdivision. The subdivision would also have two park blocks and one stormwater management block.
The proposed official plan amendment would change the designation on the subject lands from Prime Agricultural Area and Environmental Protection to Settlement Area. This would expand the Hartington Settlement Area boundary to include the site.
The subject lands are zoned RU-46. The proposed zoning by-law amendment would place the proposed residential lots in a Residential (R) zone that would allow a minimum 45 metre frontage. The amendment would also place the proposed park and stormwater management blocks in a Public Open Space (OS) zone.

The application for draft plan of subdivision would enable the lot and block creation, and the
road extension. This application has been submitted to, and will be processed by, the County of
Frontenac, as they are the approval authority for plans of subdivision.
