Members Present Stephen Foster (Chair) Christine Cannon (Vice-Chair) Kailin Che Blaine Fudge Craig Leroux Glen Perry Also Present Julie Salter-Keane, Manager, Development Approvals Tim Fisher, Secretary-Treasurer Golsa Kheir-Moghadam, Intermediate Planner Avalene Jackson, Committee Clerk Members Absent Richard Paget This Is Not a Verbatim Report Meeting to Order The meeting was called to order at 5:00 p.m. Welcome to New Member The Chair welcomed the new member, Glen Perry, to the Committee. Declarations of Pecuniary Interest There were no declarations of pecuniary interest. New Items: Application for Minor Variance D13-017-2015, Andre David Ereaut 2705 Battersea Road Present: Andre Ereaut (Applicant) The purpose of this application is to request a variance to the minimum interior side yard width requirement in the A1 Restricted Agricultural Zone in the Zoning By-Law Number 76-26. The variance is requested to permit the construction of a four-car garage in the southwest interior side yard. In response to a question from Mr. Fudge, Mr. Ereaut replied that the existing building is an old school portable that was put there for a shed and he plans to move it back and put a garage in its place. Moved by Ms. Cannon Seconded by Mr. Fudge In respect of Application D13-017-2015 by Andre David Ereaut, 2705 Battersea Road, requesting relief from Zoning By-Law Number 76-26 in the minimum interior side yard width requirement in the A1 zone in order to permit the construction of a 150 square metre

June 22, 2015 Page 2 detached garage in the southwest interior side yard. By-Law Number 76-26: Requirement: Proposed: Variance Requested: Section 9(2)(e)(iii) Minimum Interior Side Yard Width 12 metres Interior Side Yard Width 7.3 metres 4.7 metres After considering the above-mentioned application for a minor variance on June 22, 2015, the decided that the application should be approved subject to the following five conditions: 1. Limitation That the approved variance applies only to the location of the detached garage as identified on the drawings stamped received on April 24, 2015. The variance does not include a decrease in the minimum interior side yard setback of any other buildings or structures located on the subject property. 2. No Adverse Impacts The owner/applicant shall ensure that there are no adverse impacts on neighbouring properties as a result of the structure, and any increased runoff or grade changes to the property as a result of any excavation, roof run-off or downspout orientation. 3. Building Permit Application Requirements The owner/applicant shall provide to the Building Division a copy of the decision of the, together with a copy of the approved drawings and Archaeological Assessment and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport approval letter. Additional variances may be required should further zoning deficiencies be identified through the Building Permit process. The drawings submitted with the building permit application (showing the approved location of the garage) must, in the opinion of the City, conform to the general intent and description of the approved drawings, including any amendments and conditions approved by the, as stated in the decision. 4. Archaeological Assessment An Archaeological Assessment (beginning with a Stage One Assessment) and any subsequent or supporting studies are required on the property as the site falls under several of the criteria for archaeological potential. Any area of development or site alteration, including access routes, on lands containing archaeological resources or areas of archaeological potential will need to be assessed by an archaeologist licensed in the Province of Ontario. The applicant shall contact the Planning Division to confirm their requirements for approval of this condition. Two (2) copies of the study and all relative information shall be provided to the Building Division as part of the Building Permit Application process. The report shall be registered with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport and an acceptance letter shall be obtained from the Ministry. The City relies upon the report of the professional archaeologist as filed, but reserves the right to require further reports should further evidence be uncovered.

June 22, 2015 Page 3 The applicant may be required to further review the state of archaeological resources on the property depending on the recommendations of the report and subject to input and review from the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. The City shall not be restricted in its ability to determine requirements related to review, assessment and/or protection should archaeological resources be found on site. Any costs arising from such requirements of the City or any other duly authorized Government body shall be borne solely by the applicant. 5. Standard Archaeological Condition In the event that deeply buried or previously undiscovered archaeological deposits are discovered in the course of development or site alteration, all work must immediately cease and the site must be secured. The Cultural Program Branch of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (416-314-7132) and the City of Kingston s Planning Division (613-546-4291, extension 3180) must be immediately contacted. In the event that human remains are encountered, all work must immediately cease and the site must be secured. The Kingston Police (613-549-4660), the Registrar of Cemeteries Regulation Section of the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Business Services (416-326-8404), the Cultural Program Branch of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (416-314-7132), and the City of Kingston s Planning Division (613-546-4291, extension 3180) must be immediately contacted. The decision is based on the following seven reasons: 1. The Provincial Policy Statement provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development which are complemented by local policies addressing local interests. The application being considered is site specific to accommodate a specific proposal and does not involve any major policy considerations. The application conforms to and is consistent with the applicable policies in the Provincial Policy Statement. 2. The subject property is designated Rural in the City of Kingston Official Plan and is subject to the policies of Section 3.13. The Rural designation permits single family dwellings on lots with a minimum lot area of 1.0 hectare. The single family dwelling on the existing lot and the accessory structures are consistent with the Rural designation policies and is in keeping with existing development on Battersea Road. 3. The proposed development will comply with the policies of Section 6.1 (Natural Heritage System) and 2.8 (Protection of Resources) of the Official Plan and will not have any negative impacts on these areas as the proposed garage will not encroach into these areas. It is the opinion of the Planning Division that the requested variance meets the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. 4. The owner/applicant is proposing a detached garage to be located 7.3 metres from the side property line. The reduced setback meets the intent of the zoning by-law as the proposed garage will not cause any negative impact on the adjacent undeveloped land. The subject property is mainly used for residential purposes and the proposed setback is adequate for a residential property and is in keeping with the interior side yard setbacks for the surrounding residential development. It is the opinion of the Planning Division that the request variance meets the general intent and purpose of the zoning by-law. 5. The requested variance to reduce the minimum interior side yard width requirement to

June 22, 2015 Page 4 permit the construction of a detached garage is considered minor since there will be no impacts on the adjacent property which is currently vacant. There are fencing and trees between the garage and the adjacent property. While the property is zoned Restricted Agricultural, it is predominantly used for residential purposes. The proposed interior side yard width of 7.3 metres is adequate for a residential property and is in keeping with the interior side yard setbacks for the surrounding residential development along the east side of the Battersea Road. 6. The proposed detached garage will be located along the existing driveway and will be set back 7.3 metres from the side lot line abutting an undeveloped land which is used for agricultural purposes. The location of the detached garage will not have any negative impacts on the streetscape, traffic or abutting properties. 7. The variance is desirable and appropriate as the location of the garage provides convenient access to the main building and makes use of the existing driveway. The garage will be located along the southwest side of the lot, which is not adjacent to any other residential development. The subject lot will remain a functional lot for its intended residential use and will provide future owners with additional storage of household items and vehicles. Carried The Chair stated that a copy of the Notice of Decision for the application will only be forwarded to those who have presented a written request for the Decision, or to those who have recorded their name and address on the form provided at the meeting by the Secretary-Treasurer. A formal request in the manner provided is necessary to be advised of a possible Ontario Municipal Board hearing on this matter and in order to be allowed to make a presentation to the O.M.B. Application for Minor Variance D13-018-2015, David & Michelle McParlan 145 Nelson Street Present: David McParlan (Applicant) The purpose of this application is to request a variance to the minimum setback requirement from the front lot line from the projections into yard provision of Section 5(8)(c) in Zoning By-Law Number 8499 in order to permit a covered porch over an existing step within the front yard. In response to a question from Ms. Cannon, Mr. McParlan replied that there are no concerns with maintaining the minimum services conductors as far as he understands. In response to a question from Mr. Leroux, Mr. Fisher indicated that the detailed drawings on page 24 of the agenda show the width of the proposed deck. Mr. McParlan stated that the idea is to cover the existing porch. In response to a comment from Mr. Foster that there is no existing porch in front, Mr. McParlan explained that he received a permit to remove the old portion and to put a new one with the same dimensions in the exact same location.

June 22, 2015 Page 5 Mr. Fisher stated that staff s understanding was that it was an existing deck. However, if the applicant got a permit to remove it then he would be permitted to re-build the deck but in order to cover the deck it would need approval by the. Moved by Mr. Fudge Seconded by Mr. Leroux In respect of Application D13-018-2015 by David & Michelle McParlan, 145 Nelson Street, requesting relief from Zoning By-Law Number 8499 to reduce the minimum setback requirement from the front lot line from the projections into yard provision (minimum setback from front lot line) of Section 5(8) in order to permit the construction of a covered porch within the front yard. By-Law Number 8499: Section 5(8) Requirement: Minimum Setback from front lot line 3.5 metres Proposed: Minimum Setback from front lot line 0.6 metres Variance Requested: 4.7 metres After considering the above-mentioned application for a minor variance on June 22, 2015, the decided that the application should be approved subject to the following four conditions: 1. Limitation That the approved variance applies only to the location of the covered front porch as identified on the drawings stamped received on May 8, 2015. The variance does not include a reduction of the entire front yard setback. 2. No Adverse Impacts The owner/applicant shall ensure that there are no adverse impacts on neighbouring properties as a result of the construction of the covered porch nor shall there be any increased runoff as a result of any excavation or downspout orientation. 3. Building Permit Application Requirements The owner/applicant shall provide to the Building Division a copy of the decision of the, together with a copy of the approved drawings. Additional variances may be required should further zoning deficiencies be identified through the Building Permit Application process. The drawings submitted with the building permit application must, in the opinion of the City, conform to the general intent and description of the approved drawing, including any amendments and conditions approved by the, as stated in the decision. 4. Standard Archaeological Condition In the event that deeply buried or previously undiscovered archaeological deposits are discovered in the course of development or site alteration, all work must immediately cease and the site must be secured. The Cultural Program Branch of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (416-314-7132) and the City of Kingston s Planning Division

June 22, 2015 Page 6 (613-546-4291, extension 3180) must be immediately contacted. In the event that human remains are encountered, all work must immediately cease and the site must be secured. The Kingston Police (613-549-4660), the Registrar of Cemeteries Regulation Section of the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Business Services (416-326-8404), the Cultural Program Branch of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (416-314-7132), and the City of Kingston s Planning Division (613-546-4291, extension 3180) must be immediately contacted. The decision is based on the following seven reasons: 1. The Provincial Policy Statement provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development which are complemented by local policies addressing local interests. The application being considered is site specific to accommodate a specific proposal and does not involve any major policy considerations. The effect of the application is to facilitate the construction of a covered porch within the front yard. The proposal is consistent with the applicable policies in the Provincial Policy Statement. 2. The Low Density Residential policy in the Official Plan permits single detached dwellings among other low profile ground oriented types of housing that have a density up to 30 units per net hectare of land (Section 3.3.A.2.). Therefore, the existing single detached dwelling complies with the Residential designation. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed development is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. 3. The variance is desirable and appropriate as it will provide the owner with a covered entry into the dwelling. The construction of the covered porch is in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood and streetscape as dwellings along Nelson Street have either covered or uncovered porches and steps located within the front yard. The proposal complies with all other provisions of the A Zone. It is the opinion of the Planning Division that the proposed development is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-Law, subject to the required variance. 4. The variance is minor in nature as it will provide a roof over an existing porch. The porch is proposed to remain and be renovated/upgraded. The roof will provide safe access into the dwelling and provide shelter from the natural elements. 5. The construction of the covered porch is in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood and streetscape as dwellings along Nelson Street have either covered or uncovered porches and steps located within the front yard. The proposed development will not have any adverse impacts on the streetscape, traffic, or on the abutting property and its continued use and development. 6. The variance is desirable and appropriate and will provide for the functional needs of future owners. The principal entrance to the dwelling opens directly into the living room which limits the use and function of the room and allows for the natural elements to enter the home. The covered porch will provide a defined entrance and area for the residents to remove coats etc. outside of the living room. The steps will not be altered and will remain in their current location. The location of the covered porch will not have any negative impacts on the streetscape or traffic along Nelson Street.

June 22, 2015 Page 7 7. The requested minor variance is consistent with the general purpose and general intent of both the City of Kingston Official Plan and the Zoning By-Law Number 8499. The variance is considered to be appropriate and minor. Carried The Chair stated that a copy of the Notice of Decision for this application will only be forwarded to those who have presented a written request for the Decision, or to those who have recorded their name and address on the form provided at the meeting by the Secretary-Treasurer. A formal request in the manner provided is necessary to be advised of a possible Ontario Municipal Board hearing on this matter and in order to be allowed to make a presentation to the O.M.B. Application for Minor Variance D13-019-2015, Jack & Judy Jeswiet 277 Mack Street Present: Jack & Judy Jeswiet (Applicants) The purpose of this application is to request a variance to the maximum permitted residential building depth in the A Zone in the Zoning By-Law Number 8499. The variance is requested to permit the construction of a one-storey addition to the existing one-storey house. The addition is proposed to be built in the back of the house. There were no questions from either the Committee or the public so the following motion was passed. Moved by Ms. Cannon Seconded by Mr. Perry In respect of Application D13-019-2015 by Jack & Judy Jeswiet, 277 Mack Street, requesting relief from Zoning By-Law Number 8499 in the maximum residential building depth requirement in order to permit the construction of a one-storey addition to the existing onestorey house. By-Law Number 8499: Requirement: Proposed: Variance Requested: Section 6.3(g)(ii)(1)(a) Maximum Residential Building Depth 11.15 metres Maximum Residential Building Depth 12 metres 0.85 metres After considering the above-mentioned application for a minor variance on June 22, 2015, the decided that the application should be approved subject to the following five conditions: 1. Limitation That the approved variance applies only to the building depth of the dwelling and rear addition as identified on the drawings stamped received on May 11, 2015.

June 22, 2015 Page 8 2. No Adverse Impacts The owner/applicant shall ensure that there are no adverse impacts on neighbouring properties as a result of the construction of the rear addition nor shall there be any increased runoff as a result of any excavation or downspout orientation. 3. Building Permit Application Requirements The owner/applicant shall provide to the Building Division a copy of the decision of the, together with a copy of the approved drawings. Additional variances may be required should further zoning deficiencies be identified through the Building Permit Application process. The drawings submitted with the building permit application must, in the opinion of the City, conform to the general intent and description of the approved drawing, including any amendments and conditions approved by the, as stated in the decision. 4. Standard Archaeological Condition In the event that deeply buried or previously undiscovered archaeological deposits are discovered in the course of development or site alteration, all work must immediately cease and the site must be secured. The Cultural Program Branch of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (416-314-7132) and the City of Kingston s Planning Division (613-546-4291, extension 3180) must be immediately contacted. In the event that human remains are encountered, all work must immediately cease and the site must be secured. The Kingston Police (613-549-4660), the Registrar of Cemeteries Regulation Section of the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Business Services (416-326-8404), the Cultural Program Branch of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (416-314-7132), and the City of Kingston s Planning Division (613-546-4291, extension 3180) must be immediately contacted. 5. Services If the proposed work results in the need to upgrade or relocate the existing services or to install new services, all associated costs shall be the responsibility of the applicant. The decision is based on the following nine reasons: 1. The Provincial Policy Statement provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development which are complemented by local policies addressing local interests. The application being considered is site specific to accommodate a specific proposal and does not involve any major policy considerations. 2. The purpose of the application is to facilitate the construction of an addition located within the rear yard. The proposal conforms to and is consistent with the applicable policies in the Provincial Policy Statement. 3. The subject property is designated Residential in the City of Kingston Official Plan. The Low Density Residential policies permit single detached dwellings and other low profile ground oriented types of housing that have a density up to 30 units per net hectare of land (Section 3.3.A.2.). The existing single detached dwelling complies with the

June 22, 2015 Page 9 Residential designation. 4. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed development is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-Law. 5. The variance is minor in nature and will provide the owners with additional living space. The existing 85.25 square metre, one-storey dwelling contains two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and living room. The proposed 25 square metre, one-storey addition will provide a dining room and expand an existing bedroom to make a master bedroom. 6. The proposed rear addition and the overall building depth are in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is developed with a mixture of residential building heights and depths. There will be no impact on the streetscape. Over time, many dwellings within the neighbourhood have added additions to provide additional living space either by building up or through additions to the rear of the dwelling. The subject property is located within a residential area which is predominantly developed with one and two family dwellings with various building depths. The dwellings along the block face between Napier Street and Regent Street vary in building depth from 9 metres to 16 metres. 7. The proposed development will not have any adverse impacts on the streetscape, traffic, or on the abutting property. 8. The variance is desirable and appropriate. A rear yard will be maintained for outdoor amenity space and parking will be maintained within the detached garage which is located in the rear yard. Access to the rear yard garage is maintained along the west side of the dwelling. 9. Approval of the requested variance will provide the owner with additional living space and accommodate a master bedroom and a dining room off of the kitchen. The construction of the addition is in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood as dwellings in the neighbourhood vary in building depth and building height. The privacy of the abutting land owners will be maintained as no new windows are proposed along the east and west walls of the addition. Carried The Chair stated that a copy of the Notice of Decision for this application will only be forwarded to those who have presented a written request for the Decision, or to those who have recorded their name and address on the form provided at the meeting by the Secretary-Treasurer. A formal request in the manner provided is necessary to be advised of a possible Ontario Municipal Board hearing on this matter and in order to be allowed to make a presentation to the O.M.B. Application for Minor Variance D13-020-2015, Adam Hunt 4094 Bath Road There was no one present to represent this application. The purpose of this application is to request a variance to the minimum distance from flood plain and the minimum front yard setback requirements in the R1 Zone in the Zoning By-Law Number 76-26. The variance is requested to permit the construction of a second storey addition to the existing legal non-conforming one-storey dwelling and a covered front step.

June 22, 2015 Page 10 In response to a question from Mr. Foster, Mr. Fisher explained that this is a legal nonconforming structure as per the Official Plan. The existing dwelling is a permitted use in the zoning by-law which is why the decision was made to process the application as a minor variance instead of an expansion to a legal non-conforming use. He confirmed that the size of the lot conforms with the minimum requirements of the R1 zone. Mr. Perry asked whether there have been any problems in the past with flooding in this area. Mr. Fisher replied that the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority would be better equipped to answer that question; however, the setback is based on the location of the high water mark. He said that it is interesting because the elevation along the shoreline varies in height so the actual height might be okay for the elevation above sea level. However, it still would not be set back far enough as per setback from the flood plain. In this case the building would not comply with the actual setback and that is why the applicant is asking for a reduction. He noted that the sunroom will be removed. Ms. Cannon indicated that the 100 year storm has been exceeded again and again and so she is leery of any applicant building in the flood plain and was keen on seeing the new Official Plan and the setback requirements. She indicated that we have paid in the past where houses were permitted to be built in Highgate Creek where they should not have been and she does not want to get into that situation again. In response to a question from Mr. Fudge, Mr. Fisher confirmed that the applicant is only going upwards and will be replacing the garage roof. Ms. Cannon added that a pile of land has been washed away and flood plain mapping changes over time as well; we need to remain conscious of the flood plain.

Limitation That the approved variances apply only to the location of the second storey addition and attached garage as identified on the drawings stamped received on May 19, 2015. The variances do not include a reduction of the entire front yard setback or setback from a floodplain. 2. No Adverse Impacts The owner/applicant shall ensure that there are no adverse impacts on neighbouring properties as a result of the construction of the second storey addition nor shall there be any increased runoff as a result of any excavation or downspout orientation. 3. Building Permit Application Requirements The owner/applicant shall provide to the Building Division a copy of the decision of the, together with a copy of the approved drawings. Additional variances may be required should further zoning deficiencies be identified through the Building Permit Application process. The drawings submitted with the building permit application must, in the opinion of the City, conform to the general intent and description of the approved drawing, including any amendments and conditions approved by the, as stated in the decision. 4.

Standard Archaeological Condition In the event that deeply buried or previously undiscovered archaeological deposits are discovered in the course of development or site alteration, all work must immediately cease and the site must be secured. The Cultural Program Branch of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (416-314-7132) and the City of Kingston s Planning Division (613-546-4291, extension 3180) must be immediately contacted. In the event that human remains are encountered, all work must immediately cease and the site must be secured.

June 22, 2015 Page 12 The decision is based on the following nine reasons: 1. The Provincial Policy Statement provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development which are complemented by local policies addressing local interests. The application being considered is site specific to accommodate a specific proposal and does not involve any major policy considerations. The application conforms to and is consistent with the applicable policies in the Provincial Policy Statement. 2. The subject property is designated Residential and Environmental Protection Area in the City of Kingston Official Plan. The Low Density Residential designation permits single detached dwellings among other low profile ground oriented types of housing that have a density up to 30 units per net hectare of land (Section 3.3.A.2.). Therefore, the existing single detached dwelling complies with the Residential designation. 3. Generally, a 30 metre setback from the high water mark will be required, unless a greater setback has been established based on a specific hazard or environmental impact assessment findings. On lots of record where the lot depth is insufficient to provide the 30 metre setback from the high water mark, the setback can be reduced upon approval by the CRCA. The subject lot is an existing lot of record. 4. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed development is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. 5. The net result of the proposed development will be the construction of a second storey addition over the existing structure. The building footprint will not be expanded; the requested variances will recognize the location of the existing dwelling and permit the addition and renovations. The new structure will not be any closer to the floodplain or to the front lot line than what currently exists on the lot. 6. It is the opinion of the Planning Division that the proposed development is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the zoning by-law, subject to the required variances. 7. The variance is minor in nature as it will provide the owners with additional living space for the daily activities of a single family dwelling use. The dwelling and addition will not be located any closer to Lake Ontario or within the floodplain as the second storey addition will be located over the existing building footprint. The proposed two-storey dwelling will be consistent with the character of the neighbourhood and streetscape as dwellings along Bath Road vary in height from one to two storey dwellings. The proposed development will not have any adverse impacts on the streetscape, traffic, or on the abutting property. 8. The variance is desirable and appropriate and will provide for the functional needs of existing and future owners. The proposed massing of the two-storey dwelling will be compatible with existing dwellings along Bath Road. The resulting structure will not be any closer to the front lot line and Lake Ontario than what currently exists. The principal entrance to the dwelling will remain facing Bath Road. A covered porch is proposed to provide shelter from the elements and will comply with the provisions of the Zoning By- Law. 9. Parking will be maintained within the two-car attached garage. The owner proposes to provide a new pitched roof on the garage at the time of the second storey addition. Road access will be maintained from Bath Road. Carried
