Small subdivision approved for Georgian Bluffs

Grey County council has voted to approve modified plans for a new subdivision Georgian Bluffs.

The small development just north of Balmy Beach will include six single-detached homes.

Council received a request from Cuesta Planning Consultants to modify plans for the Shahabi Subdivision in Georgian Bluffs last Thursday. Grey County Director of Planning Scott Taylor  discussed the final report for the subdivision, including a staff recommendation to include a block for access and drainage.

Council voted to approve the plan as presented. The staff report to county council confirmed the lots will have access onto Balmy Beach Road. The public will still be able to enjoy access to a shore road allowance. The lots will be served with municipal water but will need private septic systems.
