Notice of Proposed Sale of Municipal Land

Pursuant to the Township of South Frontenac By-law to Establish Procedures Governing The Sale of Real Property in the Township of South Frontenac (By-law 1999-25) and the By-law to Prescribe the Form and Manner and Time for the Provision of Notice (By-law 2016-73) take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac has declared the following property surplus and intends to dispose of the municipal property:

Lands affected: The Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac is the registered owner of the lands described as Roll Number 102904002030450, PT LT 10 CON 13 LOUGHBOROUGH AS IN FR156156; SOUTH FRONTENAC.

Explanatory note: A request has been received in regard to the property owned by the Township which is approximately 100 acres and land locked. There is interest in the property for nature reserve purposes. It is only accessible through private lands. There is what appears to be an unopened road allowance abutting the property at the north which extends East-West from Canoe Lake Rd to Frontenac Park but would still not provide access due to watercourses through the road allowance. The property abuts to Frontenac Provincial Park and is an opportunity to establish a conservation corridor between the Park and the Kingston Field Naturalist’s Helen Quilliam Sanctuary and the Gould Lake Conservation Area to the southwest.

The property has been reviewed by the Director of Development Services who has confirmed that there is no future use of the property for the Township. The property is land locked and provides a challenging terrain for access.

The land was declared surplus by a resolution of Council at the September 10, 2024 meeting.

Public Meeting: The Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac will hold a public meeting on November 19, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. at its regular meeting to be held at the Storrington Centre, 3910 Battersea Road.
