Planning Advisory Committee
The Planning Advisory Committee is a citizen committee appointed by Council, as required under the Community Planning Act. The Committee deals with planning issues of the Town, including authority to grant variances to property owners, temporary use variances, approve home occupations, approve street names, and provide views and recommendations to Council on most all bylaws falling under the Community Planning Act.
Planning Advisory Committee Meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 7 pm in Council Chambers at the Town Hall.
The Planning Advisory Committee can be contacted through the PAC Secretary at the Town Hall at 849-5745 or 849-5778.
Next meeting is scheduled for January 25, 2012.

What is a Variance?
A variance is any variation from the current by-law requirements. For example, if you wanted to build a shed, but you did not have the required 1.5 meter sideline clearance required by the bylaw, you could apply to the Planning Advisory Committee for a variance. This involves coming into the Town Office and filling out a variance application form, which will provide details to the Committee of your request.
You will then be scheduled to appear on the next ensuing Planning Advisory Committee agenda, (the Committee meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month), where the Committee will review and consider granting to you the requested variance. Often Committee members will view the site and talk to neighbouring property owners before granting variances.
