Committee of Adjustment Staff Report Agenda Item: C Application Information: Consent Application B039/16 Related Applications: None Subject Land: 16 Birch Avenue Name of Owner: 8110620 Canada Corporation (Beneficial Owner) Name of Agent: Raymond F.L. Floyd Committee of Adjustment Meeting Date: November 24, 2016 The Request: To sever a parcel of land for residential purposes, approximately 15.50 metres (50.85 feet) by 65.36 metres (214.44 feet), approximately 1013.00 square metres (10,903.84 square feet), and retain a parcel of land approximately 15.50 metres (50.85 feet) by 65.31 metres (214.27 feet) approximately 1012.20 square metres (10,893.07 square feet). The severed and retained parcels will have frontage onto Birch Avenue and the existing single family dwelling, shed and swimming pool are to be demolished. Present Designation: Official Plan: Neighbourhood Zoning Classification: Single Family Three (R3) Zone Zoning By-law: By-law No. 2523, as amended Zoning Provisions: Minimum Lot Frontage: 15.240 metres (50.0 feet) Minimum Lot Area: 557.4 square metres (6,000 square feet) Minimum Front Yard Setback: 7.62 metres (25.0 feet) Minimum Side Yard Setback: 1.52 metres (5.0 feet) Minimum Rear Yard Setback: 7.62 metres (25.0 feet) Maximum Building Height: 10.67 metres (35.0 feet) Maximum Lot Coverage: 30% Maximum Porch / Stairs Encroachment: 0.9 metres (3.0 feet) Please Note: The above noted zoning provisions are only the general standards for this zone and are provided for the reference of the Members of the Committee of Adjustment. Full compliance with all applicable zoning standards is the responsibility of the landowner and must be ensured prior to the issuance of any building permits based upon the submission of a detailed full set of building plans. Site Conditions: The subject lands are located on the north side of Birch Avenue, west of Avenue Road. The lands currently support a single-detached dwelling, swimming pool, and
two accessory structures which are to be demolished in order to construct two new single-detached dwellings. Comments Received From Municipal Departments & Outside Agencies: Committee of Adjustment: This application was circulated to the commenting departments and agencies on October 31, 2016. Public notice was mailed on November 10, 2016. The applicant confirmed posting of public notice sign on November 3, 2016 Previous and/or Concurrent applications on the subject lands: A097/16 Side yard setbacks east and west (Concurrent Application) A098/16-- Side yard setbacks east and west (Concurrent Application) Note: Future Development of the subject land may occur in accordance with the provisions of the Town s Zoning By-law. Architectural design as shown on any elevation drawings and floor plans is provided for information purposes only and does not form part of the Committee s decision. Planning & Regulatory Services Department Building / Zoning: The proposed consent application will not create areas of noncompliance with respect to the Zoning By-Law. The following clause be added as a condition of consent: That the Owner apply to and receive from the Council of the Town of Richmond Hill demolition approval pursuant to Demolition Control By-law No. 15-90 and that the Owner demolish the single family dwelling and remove all debris to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Official *Please note that the property is zoned R3 under By-law 2523, not R1(S) as indicated in the application form. Planning: The applicant is seeking approval to sever the subject lands in order to create one additional building lot for residential purposes with frontage onto Birch Avenue. The severed lot will measure approximately 15.5 metres (50.87 feet) by 65.0 metres (214.27 feet), approximately 1007.00 square metres (10839.26 square feet each. The retained land will measure approximately 15.5 metres (50.87 feet) by 65.0 metres (214.27 feet), approximately 1007.00 square metres (10839.26 square feet each. In order to facilitate the above-described severance, the applicant is requesting relief from By-law No. 2523, as amended, to permit reduced side yard setbacks on both the east and west side for both the severed and retained parcel. In support of this request, the following variances are proposed: reduced minimum side yard setbacks (east) from 1.52 metres (5.00 feet) as required, to 1.23 metres (4.04 feet) as required (retained);
reduced minimum side yard setbacks (east) from 1.52 metres (5.00 feet) as required, to 1.22 metres (4.00 feet) as required (retained); reduced minimum side yard setbacks (east) from 1.52 metres (5.00 feet) as required, to 1.22 metres (4.00 feet) as required (severed); and, reduced minimum side yard setbacks (east) from 1.52 metres (5.00 feet) as required, to 1.23 metres (4.04 feet) as required (severed). The requested variances for reduced side yard setbacks on both the retained and severed parcel are considered to be appropriate. The surrounding lot fabric includes a range of lot sizes and has been subject to infill development of a similar nature. Staff therefore considers the proposal appropriate and do not foresee any negative impacts of the proposed variances in regards to lot fabric and character of the surrounding area. On the basis of the preceding, Planning staff concludes that the one (1) additional building lot to be created through the proposed severance is generally compatible with the existing lot fabric and character of the surrounding area. In addition, the requested variances are considered to be appropriate within the context of the neighbourhood. The proposal meets the four (4) conditions described under Section 45(1) of the Planning Act for the evaluation of minor variance proposals. In this regard, the requested relief from the by-law, as proposed, is minor in nature, is desirable for the development of the land, and meets the general intent of the applicable zoning by-law and of the Town s Official Plan. Planning staff recommends approval of the consent application B039/16 and minor variance applications A097/16 and A098/16. Development Engineering: The Development Engineering Division has reviewed the above noted application and recommends the inclusion of provisional conditions of consent as indicated herein: We have no sewer allocation objections as the YDSS trunk sewer system is now operating, provided that the new units created are accounted for by the Planning and Regulatory Services Department in the consent and site plan allocation reserve.
