File No. 160/2016 SITE FEATURES LAND: STRUCTURES: ACCESS: SOIL RATING: FIRE: From aerial photos, the property is treed along the rear parcel line and the exterior parcel line where the attached garage is proposed to be constructed. According to the applicant there is one dwelling, an unattached garage, one greenhouse, 3 storage sheds, a chicken coop, an outdoor sauna and one log gazebo on the property. From aerial photos, there are multiple structures on the subject property including the existing dwelling and detached garage. 91 st Street. The subject property has a CLI soil rating of 2c. Class 2 soils have moderate limitations that restrict the range of crops or require moderate conservation practices. A subclass of c denotes soils for which adverse climate limits agricultural use. Within the Fort St. John Rural Fire Protection Area COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS APPLICANT: ALR: OCP: ZONING: The applicant is requesting a reduction for the exterior side parcel line setback from 5.0m to 1.5m to allow for the development of an attached garage. The subject property is not within the ALR. The OCP does not address setbacks. The subject property is zoned R-3 (Residential 3 Zone) within Peace River Regional District Zoning Bylaw No. 1343, 2001. The setbacks for this zone is 5.0 metres from the exterior side parcel line therefore, a DVP is required. FILE HISTORY On October 25, 2991 a Board of Variance was granted to the previous owner of this lot to change the interior side parcel line setback from 3.0 metres to 0.87 and 0.90 metres to bring the existing detached garage into compliance. IMPACT ANALYSIS CONTEXT: Reducing the exterior side parcel line from 5.0m to 1.5m could potentially impact the existing road right of way. Several neighbouring properties have driveways and/or garages that encroach on the existing road and/or land right of ways in the neighbourhood (see attached aerial photos). There was a previous variance issued for the interior side parcel line on this property in 1991 bringing the detached garage into compliance. The proposed setback reduction is not likely to be noticeable unless the road right of way is developed. AGRICULTURE: POPULATION: TRAFFIC: N/A N/A The proposed exterior side parcel line reduction could potentially have an impact on traffic as it borders a road right of way. Page 2 of 7
COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM MUNICIPALITIES City of Fort St. John District of Taylor City of Dawson Creek District of Hudson s Hope District of Chetwynd Village of Pouce Coupe Fort St. John Rural Fire Department Northern Health Ministry of Transportation NOTIFICATION Interests unaffected. Interests unaffected. Interests unaffected. No response received. No response received. No response received. File No. 160/2016 The Fort St John Fire Department has concerns with reducing the setbacks from 5.0m to 1.5m. The smaller setback is typical in a municipal setting where the fire department has access to a reliable source of water for fire protection (fire hydrants). The smaller setback increases the risk of the fire spreading to a neighbouring property and the lack of an adequate water supply for fighting fires increases the potential for greater fire losses. No response received. Structure: setback permit require. See attached letter dated November 10, 2016. Pursuant to Section 499 of the Local Government Act notification was mailed to nearby landowners on November 14, 2016. No written comments have been received as of the date of this report.
