This appendix describes the limits, conditions and standards that cottagers must comply with respecting cottage lot structures, sewage systems, water units and other on-land occupations outside of the cottage lot (i.e., primary occupation).
For the purposes of these limits, conditions and standards, cottage lot structures have been grouped into three categories: cottages, sleep cabins and ancillary which are addressed in sections 2.0 and 3.0. Sewage systems are addressed separately from cottage lot structures and are discussed in section 4.0. Limits, conditions and standards that cottagers much comply with in respect to water units and on-land occupations outside of the cottage lot are addressed in section 5.0 1
Over the period of January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2038, MNRF intends to reduce the combined (total) footprint associated with the cottage lots by moving towards the following:
MNRF will consider applications from cottagers for new cottage lot structures and sewage systems, and expansions or replacements of existing cottage lot structures and sewage systems, where the new, replaced or expanded structure complies with applicable limits, conditions and standards described in this Appendix, the Algonquin Provincial Park Cottage Lot Policy (2018-2038), the terms and conditions of the cottage lot occupational authority and all applicable laws including, but not limited to, the Building Code Act, 1992.
1 - MNRF is also seeking comments on a regulation proposal that would allow the issuance of new land use permits, in limited circumstances, to support the occupation and use of the cottage lot (e.g., for water units or other on-land occupations outside the boundary of the cottage lots). If the regulation does not proceed, Section 5.0 will not be included in the final management plan amendment.
