Lot Addition for Road Allowance in Minaki - Application 60-C-251735

Official title: Minaki on the River Inc. - New - Approval for a consent (subject to conditions) in an area where there is no official plan in place

Open Community Planning Housing & Communities
A property owner in Minaki wants to add a small piece of road allowance to their lot. The 0.163 hectare strip would be added to Lot 244, which is currently vacant. This would allow a future merger with the neighbouring Lot 245 for recreational use.

Why This Matters

This mainly affects nearby property owners in Minaki. If you own land next to this lot or use the road allowance, this change could affect access or property boundaries. The area is remote—about 56 km northwest of Kenora.

What Could Change

If approved, the road allowance land would be transferred to the private lot. The owner could then consolidate Lots 244 and 245 for resource-based recreational use. Public access along that portion of the road allowance would end.

Key Issues

  • Should this portion of road allowance be transferred to private ownership?
  • Will this affect access for neighbouring properties or the public?
