Read Notice in PDF format

Following the public consultation held on April 20, 2026, on the first draft resolution concerning SCAOPI 2026-01 for the construction of an access road and a parking area on lot 5 081 112 located on Hazlett-Hicks Road, in zone VI-10, the municipal council adopted the second draft resolution concerning this project at its meeting held on May 4, 2026.

This second draft resolution aims to authorize, subject to certain conditions, the construction of a driveway at 10 metres from a watercourse by reducing the depth of the shoreline, thus derogating from the definition provided for in Zoning By-law No. 214 as well as article 153 of the same by-law. The application also seeks to authorize the construction of said driveway prior to the filing of a new residence permit application, which is in violation of article 98 of Zoning By-law No. 214.

REQUEST FOR REFERENDUM APPROVAL

This second draft resolution contains a provision that may be the subject of a request from interested persons in zone VI-10 and the contiguous zones VI-9, RU-10 and RU-15, asking that this resolution be submitted for their approval in accordance with the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities.

More specifically, the provisions of SCAOPI 2026-01 concern the construction of a driveway and a parking area on lot 5 081 112 located on Hazlett-Hicks Road, in zone VI-10, and are intended to allow the project in accordance with the derogatory parameters applicable to this file.
