Frontenac Islands Development Charges By-Law
The Council of the Corporation of the Township of Frontenac Islands
will hold a Public Meeting
February 25th
at 6:30 p.m.,
in the Council Chambers, Municipal Office,
1191 Road 96,
Marysville, Wolfe Island
to consider a proposed Development Charges By-Law
under Section 12 of the Development Charges Act, 1997.
Purpose and Effect: Council has prepared a development charges study and draft by-law which will apply to new development throughout the municipality. Development charges will be imposed on new development which increases the need for municipal services such as roads, fire protection, recreation and library services. Development charges are normally collected at the time a building permit is issued.
The new development charges by-law will replace the past by-law and will be valid for five years. Development charges will apply to both new residential and non-residential development. Non-residential development includes commercial, industrial, institutional and farm buildings.
The charge does not apply to the expansion of an existing industrial building where the expansion is less than 50 % of the existing gross floor area. Other buildings or structures which will be exempted from the charge include accessory uses such as a garage, storage building, garden shed, swimming pool and any non-residential building less than 10 m2 (107.6 ft.2).
ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed Development Charges By-Law.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION related to the proposed Development Charges By-Law is available during regular office hours at the municipal offices
