1. a farm retirement lot;
2. a residence surplus to a farming operation; and
3. residential infilling.
Mila Hills Swine Ltd. (Ursula and William O’Neil) operate another farm in Warwick, where
they reside and therefore the dwelling on the subject lands is excess to their needs. As a
result they would like to dispose of it. They purchased the subject in November of 2011.
This would be permitted by the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement, but not the Lambton
Shores Official Plan which has not been updated to reflect the 2005 Policy Statement.
The Policy Statement would require that the retained farm parcel be zoned to prohibit the
construction of a new farm dwelling on the lands. The applicants have applied for a zoning
amendment to prohibit a new dwelling on the farm parcel. As well, the policy Statement
requires that the creation of lots comply with the minimum distance separation formulae
(MDS). Site inspection has revealed that there are no animal operations in the general area,
therefore the proposal complies with the MDS.
