                                       Page 3
Part A – The Preamble
Purpose
    The purpose of the County Official Plan Amendment (File No. 42-05-010-OPA
    30) is to re-designate the subject lands from ‘Agricultural’ and ‘Hazard Lands’ to
    ‘Agricultural with Exceptions’ and ‘Hazard Lands’ to permit a surplus farm
    dwelling severance on an undersized agricultural lot.

Location
    The lands affected by the proposed Official Plan Amendment are described as
    Part Lot 13, Concession 14 West, in the geographic township of Normanby,
    Municipality of West Grey and a civic address of 221513 Grey Road 9.

Basis
    The proponent, in support of the application, provided a Planning Justification
    Report to address the requirements of the Provincial Planning Statement (PPS)
    and the County Official Plan. A Planning Justification Report and Agricultural
    Brief were prepared to justify the resignation of the lands from ‘Agricultural’ to
    ‘Agricultural with Exceptions’ to support residential lot creation (surplus
    farmhouse) on an undersized agricultural lot. These background reports can be
    found in Appendix A and B.

    The applicant, J&K Argo Services Inc, is seeking approval for lot creation to
    sever a residence that has been deemed surplus to their farming operation. The
    purpose of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is to facilitate the creation of a
    0.48 hectares lot containing an existing farmhouse and barn and to retain
    approximately 20.89 hectares lot for agricultural purposes only. The severed and
    retained lands have frontage on Grey Road 9.

    The County and the Municipality held a joint public meeting on April 21, 2026.
    Agency comments are detailed in Planning Report PDR-CW-25-26 which is
    included as Appendix E. The minutes from the public meeting are attached as
    Appendix C.

recommended for approval by the Grey County Committee of the Whole on June
25, 2026.

County planning staff reports are included as Appendix D and E.
