A Council-initiated Zoning By-law Amendment is being processed which effects all private lands in the Township of Schreiber, District of Thunder Bay. A location map is not attached to this Notice as all private lands in the Township are affected.

The purpose of this By-law is to assist existing lots of record with lesser lot area and/or frontage than required by the Zoning By-law to increase in size, without triggering a variance, even if they continue to remain substandard after a lot addition consent or merger with another lot.

TAKE NOTICE That the Council of the Township of Schreiber will hold a public meeting on October 15, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. in the Schreiber Township Municipal Complex to consider a proposed Zoning By‑law Amendment under Section 34 of the Planning Act to amend By‑law No. 20-2014, as amended, the Schreiber Township Zoning By‑law.

ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal presentation either in support of, or in opposition to the proposed Zoning By‑law Amendment.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Corporation of the Township of Schreiber to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Corporation of the Township of Schreiber before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Corporation of the Township of Schreiber before the By‑law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

TOWNSHIP OF SCHREIBER

The potential for human-bear interactions increases when there are less natural food sources available. This is when food sources such as garbage, fruit trees and bird seed can draw bears into populated areas.

If you have a fruit tree attracting bears, we encourage you to harvest the fruit from the trees to reduce the number of unwanted visits in your neighbourhood.

Follow these tips to prevent an unwanted visit by bears foraging for food:

• Garbage: eliminate odours. Put garbage in containers that have tight fitting lids and only put it out the morning of garbage day, not the night before.

• When possible, store garbage in bear-resistant containers.

• Be aware that cooking odours can attract bears

• Remove grease and food residue from barbecue grills, including the grease cup underneath.

If a bear has been spotted repeatedly in your neighbourhood, contact Township of Schreiber, Director of Operations 807-824-2711 ext. 230.

In a life-threatening emergency, call 9-1-1.

Due to the ongoing work being done on theA6 to Picnic Table Lookout trail (Sewer Plant to Lookout) and the persistent wet weather we are asking the public to avoid the trail to allow it to dry. This makes it easier for further construction to take place in a timely fashion.

A large investment has been made into the project which will create a new recreational outdoor experience for our region and visitors.

We need your help to keep the construction on schedule. If the weather dries up and the situation improves more access will be allowed. Thank you for your patience.
