1 REPORT TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FROM THE DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT ON DEVELOPMENT VARIANCE PERMIT APPLICATION NO. DVP TODD ROAD OWNER: MICHAEL BRENT ROWE AND PATRICIA ROWE APPLICANT: MICHAEL BRENT ROWE March 27, 2017 PURPOSE To reduce the minimum street frontage in the RS-2A (Single Family Residential-2A) zone from 18 m to m to allow a panhandle subdivision of the lot. SUMMARY The subject property is located on the south side of Todd Road in Barnhartvale. The property is split zoned; the portion of property abutting Todd Road is zoned RS-2A while the rear of the property is zoned CR-3 (Country Residential-3). The property is 6.48 ha in area and has a single-family dwelling and several accessory buildings on the CR-3 zoned portion. The applicant wishes to subdivide the property, which will create a new 0.18 ha lot adjacent to Todd Road and allow the existing home to be accessed via a panhandle with a lot frontage of m. Because this frontage does not meet the RS-2A zone s minimum lot frontage of 18 m, a Development Variance Permit (DVP) is required to allow the subdivision to occur as proposed. The 18 m minimum lot frontage in the RS-2A zone is intended to allow standard 0.14 ha (1,400 m 2 ) suburban lots. In this instance, the property is wide enough to allow two 18 m wide lots without a variance; however, in order to maximize the use and enjoyment of his yard, the applicant proposes to create a shallower but wider lot adjacent to Todd Road (the proposed lot is m wide with a street frontage of m), while accessing his house at the rear via a 9.19 m wide panhandle with a frontage of m (Attachment A ). As the property may be subdivided without the proposed variance, and the applicant will access his house via the existing driveway, the proposed DVP is not expected to have any impact on adjacent properties. The proposed new lot will be serviced by municipal water and sanitary sewer services on Todd Road. All technical issues will be addressed at subdivision and Building Permit stages. Upon review of the application, the applicant indicated that there was an illegal suite in the basement. Staff advised that the suite would need to be removed prior to approval of the variance and subdivision. The suite has since been removed, and staff are working with the applicant to ensure that the former suite area complies with applicable codes and policies. As the proposed variance provides the applicant better use of his existing yard and does not impact neighbouring properties, staff support the application and advise Council to proceed as outlined in the recommendation.
