    - $1250.00 cash-in-lieu of parkland be paid to the municipality

    - That a rezoning of the severed lot be obtained to the satisfaction of the municipality

    - That a water well be constructed and tested on the severed lot to demonstrate that the quantity and quality of water is sufficient for residential use. The work should be supervised and documented by a qualified hydrogeologist and to ensure no impacts to neighboring well. The results of the work should be documented in a report.  

    - If the Sodium levels exceed the Medical Officer of Health criterion, which may be a concern for people on a sodium-restricted diet, that an Agreement be entered into and registered on title to inform potential purchasers of the elevated sodium levels

    - When the applicant files a formal consent application, there will be a fee(s) to inspect the test holes to ensure a septic system would be viable – current fees are $150 per lot severed and $150 for retained if vacant and applicant is responsible for the digging of the test holes.                           

    This support is based on the information provided at this time and the application will be further reviewed upon receipt of the formal application.
