BACKGROUND Location The subject property is legally described as Lots and , Plan 205, within the community of Alliston, and known municipally as 157 Wellington Street East. The subject lands are approximately 1.01 ha (2.5 acre) in size, with approximately 100 metres (328 feet) of frontage along each of Wellington Street East, Lorne Street and Nelson Street East. A location map illustrating this is provided as Attachment No. 1.

4 Report #PD , November 14, 2018 On March 20, 2017 Council approved the Zoning By-law amendment to authorize the proposed use, and the deeming by-law to consolidate the parcels into one property. On April 24, 2017 Council approved the site plan control application, along with a by-law authorizing the execution of a Site Plan Agreement between the Town and applicant. Subsequently the Site Plan Agreement was executed and the required securities were provided to the Town. A copy of the approved Site Plan is included as Attachment No. 2. On August 22, 2017 a building permit (# ) was issued for the construction of the apartment buildings on the subject lands. The construction of the apartment buildings is currently ongoing. On October 17, 2018, the applicant provided a copy of the plan of condominium, declaration, and by-laws no. 1 and no. 2 to the Town and the Town's Solicitor for review. A copy of the plan of condominium is included as Attachment No. 3. COMMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS Town of New Tecumseth Official Plan and Zoning By-law No The subject lands are designated Residential on Schedule "B1" to the Town Official Plan, and zoned Urban Residential - Exception (UR4-3) Zone on Schedule "A" to Zoning By-law No Both the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law permit the two residential apartment buildings on the subject lands. Planning Staff have reviewed the plan of condominium and note that it complies with all applicable zone provisions. Plan of Condominium Pursuant to the Condominium Act, Council has the authority to exempt condominium applications from draft plan of condominium approval. If an exemption is granted, the plan of condominium can proceed to final approval and registration without the requirements for notice and draft approval, including conditions of approval. As noted above, the request for exemption from draft plan of condominium approval was submitted in 2016 at the same time as applications for a Zoning By-law Amendment, deeming by-law, and site plan control, and as such, it was circulated to commenting agencies for review at that time. There were no concerns/objections to the request for condominium exemption raised, and all relevant planning considerations have since been reviewed and found acceptable in the context of the other planning applications. Furthermore, permits have been issued for the construction of the two apartment buildings on the subject lands, and construction is well underway. Page 2 of 9 Page 4 of 11

5 Report #PD , November 14, 2018 On October 16, 2018 the proposed plan of condominium, including the description, declaration and by-laws no. 1 and 2 were provided to the Town Solicitor for review by the applicant's lawyer; no concerns were noted. On October 19, 2018 a request for comments on the submitted plan of condominium was circulated to the Town s Engineering Department and Building Standards Department. No comments or concerns were provided by the Building Standards Department. The Engineering Department reviewed the plan of condominium for conformity with the approved Site Plan and confirmed that no discrepancies were noted. Furthermore, they note that the majority of site works have been completed, and that the existing securities held under the Site Plan Agreement are sufficient to cover the incomplete works. To this end, the Engineering Department has indicated they have no concerns with the draft plan of condominium exemption request. At this time, approval of the plan of condominium will establish the common elements of the buildings/property, exclusive use of common elements, and allow for the creation of the separate residential units so that title can be conveyed to the individual owners. Staff understand that there are scheduled closings on many of the units for the end of November that are dependent on approval of this application and registration of the plan of condominium. Planning Staff is of the opinion that the necessary requirements under the Planning Act have been satisfactorily addressed and recommend approval of the draft plan of condominium exemption request. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS There are no financial considerations as a result of this report. Respectfully submitted: Shelby White Planner Attachments: Location Map Site Plan Page 3 of 9 Page 5 of 11
