Special Village of Westport Council Meeting, July 26, 2022 – update
At the Special Council meeting held on July 26, Council decided to withdraw its zoning by-law amendment to increase lot coverage village-wide from 35% to 45%. Public meeting on Tuesday, August 2 will be cancelled.
Members of Council better understand the challenges of storm water management in the part of the Village that does not have modern storm water infrastructure and recognize the issue requires more planning and study. The zoning by-law amendment was put forward with the best of intentions, however it has been withdrawn and Council has asked staff for recommendations on what can be done to better manage storm water run off into the Lake.
Members of Council appreciate the residents who voiced concerns and suggestions over the past couple of weeks

UPDATE ON LOW WATER LEVELS IN SAND LAKE
Town Hall received many calls this week inquiring about the low levels of Sand Lake and Mill Pond. Staff work their way through the different government offices and finally found the person with the answers – the Integrated Resource Management Technical Specialist from Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. MNRF were on site Thursday and inspected the pond and today provide us with the below statement. We expect that the levels will come up soon and your concerns will be addressed.
“With recruitment of staff and transition of roles, we have been in the process of refining our approaches and communications around dam operations. As such, the valve at the hatchery wasn’t closed as much as it should have been during reStcent operations. We have since taken steps to minimize further impacts, and we will continue to monitor the status of levels on an ongoing basis until more rain is received.“
