Road Allowances

Shoreline Road Allowance

The Township offers for sale the 66 foot shoreline road allowance only to the property owner whose land is separated from the lake by this allowance. Please note that if there is a portion between the 66 foot shoreline road allowance and the property owner's lot that is owned by the Crown (Ministry of Natural Resources), this portion must be purchased through the Ministry of Natural Resources prior to proceeding with the municipal shoreline road allowance purchase. This is usually evident at the time the survey is completed. It is strongly recommended that the municipality review any existing surveys or new draft surveys to determine if they are satisfactory for the application.

  • Site specific based hardship
  • Existing encroachment on municipal lands
  • Requirement for additional lands where necessary to comply with zoning by-law
  • Protection of wetland areas
  • Negative impact to abutting landowner (i.e. Buffer Zone)
  • Applications shall be circulated to Federal and Provincial Agencies as deemed appropriate
  • Other property owners whose land may abut the unopened municipal road allowance are entitled to purchase the land to its middle line and must be given first right of refusal according to the Municipal Act
  • The land costs for road allowances that lead to water are determined by appraisal
  • Land lock road allowances are priced based on the square footage of the road allowance
