View - The Municipality of Lambton Shores

Servicing
The proposed non-farm residential lot is serviced by a private septic system and municipal
water. The County of Lambton advises that there was a septic permit applied for in 1993, but
it was refused as there was no supporting percolation test. In light of this record, the system
needs to be replaced. The County’s minimum lot area standard established for lots on clay
soil is 0.8 hectares and usually a raised bed septic system is required on clay soils. The
proposed non-farm residential lot is proposed to have a lot area of 0.8 hectares. I would
recommend that any approval of this application be conditional on the Applicants satisfying
the County and the Municipality that a new septic system be installed on the proposed nonfarm
residential lot.
Summary
In light of the above, I can recommend that these applications be approved subject to the
conditions contained in the Recommendation Section of this report as they are consistent
with the Provincial Policy Statement.
