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.
