A landowner who threatened to donate his property at the south end of Port Elgin to a nature conservancy if permission for a new lot was denied, received a rezoning allowing construction of a house and 7.9 metre detached garage from the Town of Saugeen Shores planning committee following a public meeting May 17.
In March, Bruce County’s Land Division Committee – against the advice of staff – approved a 1.1 acre lot severance for Tom Fenton on the south side of Bruce Road 25, west of Highway 21.
At the planning meeting, held via Zoom, Bruce County senior planner Daniel Kingsbury noted the file had a “bit of a history” beginning in 2017 with a severance application.
