The new road will be accessible via Country Club Drive in the Village of Bath. Additionally, a stormwater management block is also proposed within the draft plan.

Purpose and Effect of the Zoning By-law Amendment

The area of the land intended to be used for stormwater management will retain the OS zone.

The R2-15-H Zone and R3-23-H Zone are proposed to be amended to introduce site specific clause for a minimum street centerline setback for lots fronting on an 18.5 metre wide road right-of-way.

• Introduce minimum front yard setback
