owner is Pathways to Independence and
staff thank you chair the subject

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:32,160
property is located at 34 College Street
East

7
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:36,680
and currently consists of a legal
non-conforming 4unit dwelling this

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:42,480
consent application proposes to sever
the northern portion of the property to

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:47,760
create a new lot for a one unit detached
ding the lot is currently Zone R1 which

10
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:53,000
does not permit the existing four unit
dwelling therefore as a condition of

11
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:58,199
consent a resoning is required to reone
the lot to an appropriate residential

12
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:02,840
Zone staff notes that the city is
undertaking a residential intensive

13
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:07,680
ation project which includes a zoning
byw amendment to reone specific

14
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:14,200
corridors within the city from the R1
Zone to the R2 Zone the zoning byw

15
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:18,439
amendment was approved on February 10th
and affects this property once the

16
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:23,119
appeal period expires the subject
property will be Zone R2 and the

17
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:28,040
associated Provisions will apply to both
the severed and retain Lots however the

18
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,640
retain lot still does not meet the
minimum required lot era for a po unit

19
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:38,640
dwelling within the R2 Zone therefore
zoning relief is included as a condition

20
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:43,600
of consent through a future minor
variance application at this time no

21
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:48,520
comments have been received from the
public regarding this application but

22
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:54,799
thank you okay is there anyone here from
pathway for Van Houston

23
00:01:50,960 --> 00:02:00,600
to yeah hello my name is Isaac
V on of passway any additional question

24
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:05,680
comments no I just think this is just a
great example of the way in which

25
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:10,440
Pathways can add to their inventory of
affordable residential units that they

26
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,920
provide for their clientele which I
think is a really good thing it's a

27
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,080
great
organization uh yeah I think it's pretty

28
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:22,040
straightforward Stu what we're
suggesting here is the building going to

29
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:26,800
be used for Pathways yes the new
building yeah

30
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:31,280
okay how many units are planned for that
it's going to be a single family

31
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:38,120
dwelling with u second
resident any any questions for this

32
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,120
gentlemen the existing building is

33
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:53,920
Frable yeah uh where's the driveway in
this new building uh we're going to do

34
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:59,480
an extensive site plan but we'll
probably have it coming it will

35
00:02:55,239 --> 00:02:59,480
definitely the new building will be off

36
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,480
there's already look like an existing
there's like an

37
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:11,640
existing is there an existing one there
yeah something something there so

38
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:15,760
that'll leave no parking for the
building on the corner the existing

39
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:22,000
building no exist the existing building
has on the

40
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:25,720
side and because of the type of
residence there there won't be a whole

41
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:33,400
lot of cic
Staff other than staff vehicles I mean

42
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,400
we recognize it sell anybody in

43
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:43,480
we'll any question for this
gent if anyone else wishes to comment on

44
00:03:40,519 --> 00:03:43,480
34 College

45
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:54,519
Street go ahead could the actual uh
driveway that's there now could it be

46
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:58,159
used as a place as opposed to North Park
well yeah because they own both prop

47
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:03,360
they will own both properties we were
thinking maybe we could wrap around

48
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:08,280
um from the backside just to have access
on for both of the housing and things

49
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,720
like that have offs to get on to college
or get on to North Park I mean that

50
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:17,880
wouldn't be something that be
transferred my only question is if North

51
00:04:14,519 --> 00:04:25,720
or North Park at that place with turn
lane going north you've got traffic here

52
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:30,639
traffic there is another I know there's
a driveway is there a driveway there now

53
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:36,840
yeah there is
we would be right beside the driveway

54
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:39,240
to it's near the tree line then yeah
okay

55
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:48,320
that's any other
questions if not motion sorry sir have

56
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:53,680
something to say thank you sorry can I
say something yeah sorry I'm my name is

57
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:58,639
Chris flurry um I own nine North Park
which is it's actually the blue building

58
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,639
there on the bottom one on left so where
the van is

59
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:10,280
uh
so it has been I mean my question uh my

60
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:12,800
reason for coming today was to find out
exactly what the building was going to

61
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:19,720
be used for and if it was going to be
used for another uh Pathways independent

62
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:26,080
home um I can tell you it's it's very
difficult living next to Pathways um

63
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:33,319
there are um my understanding is people
who have um uh traumatic brain injuries

64
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:38,280
and and that sort of thing um my wife
was chased down the street at one point

65
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:42,240
by one of the residents um resulted in
the police being called um she was with

66
00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:46,360
her children we have three young
children um there's a gentleman who this

67
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:53,919
hasn't happened since last summer it's
so cold but he um I don't know how to

68
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:58,759
describe it he sort of shadow boxes with
himself outside but it's it's it's

69
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,720
frightening it's honestly frightening
and uh we had to at one point we had to

70
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,479
take
our our kids inside because of that um

71
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:12,680
my concern is obviously that right now
there's a poer zone

72
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:18,039
between um Pathways and our
property but if this goes through it's

73
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:21,520
you know it's a very small property I
don't know how you

74
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:27,639
fit
um a whole other residents in there I me

75
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:33,080
you probably could but that would mean
that it would be within feet of our

76
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:38,160
property I don't know if you get a sense
of it sort of looking at that but the

77
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:44,759
property line is right where those trees
are so it would be great next our

78
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,759
property

79
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:59,680
in my question is will there be a bent
down on his side of the property when

80
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,680
that building is fil

81
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,199
uh through the chair um the chair
there's no requirement for offense

82
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:11,639
between a single detached dwelling and
another single detached dwelling um we

83
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:16,639
also don't regulate who lives in a
dwelling it's essentially what this

84
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:20,960
application is for um so your question
be that answered by the applicants but

85
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:27,120
that would be more at their their desire
to have that

86
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:32,639
V trees are going to have to come down
anyways maybe can yeah I mean I I think

87
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:38,639
you know Pathways always tries to be a
very good neighbor we built for them on

88
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:45,039
North part for it's 101 North part we
did go that way of putting up fence um

89
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:49,319
just to one her good neighbors so I
don't think it's I mean I'd have to

90
00:07:46,479 --> 00:07:54,879
discuss that Pathways of course but I
don't see that Su the realm so if there

91
00:07:52,520 --> 00:08:01,280
was a fence for down where the tree line
is there that would probably mitigate

92
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:07,680
some of the issues that you may
have some of them yes yeah I know it

93
00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:11,199
depends on how far it goes like di it
comes all the way to the street well

94
00:08:09,599 --> 00:08:13,800
full length of the property I would say
if you're going to build it should

95
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,960
probably be the full length of the
property should not um to the chair

96
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:22,440
there there is some limitations to where
fenses can be placed uh there's

97
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:26,759
limitations to once they go into the
front yard so pass the building toward

98
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:31,800
between the building and the street uh
they're only maximum one meter in that

99
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:37,440
range uh along essentially once it's in
that sidey yard and level with the house

100
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:41,880
going back it can be up to eight feet
there so can only come the th can only

101
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,839
come to the front of the house it can't
go right to the line in the front once

102
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:54,279
it extends past the house towards the
street line it can only be maximum

103
00:08:48,480 --> 00:09:00,399
one oh height not distance correct
okay can one

104
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:05,440
thing the pathway have always been very
good deal with them my concern is just

105
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:11,519
that there's
some um there's an inherent nature to to

106
00:09:09,839 --> 00:09:18,600
what you're doing and it is going to be
disruptive in to to some of the the

107
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:22,399
neighbors despite sorry L yeah I me you
experienced

108
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:26,760
that
something I don't think you can put that

109
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:32,360
as the condition of our sence it's not
really that got precedent you think that

110
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:37,920
you know we want to be good neighbors so
I think that'll

111
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:37,920
go that's

112
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:54,000
for I'm with pathway Independence yeah
name I'm the operations manager and like

113
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:59,880
I don't see offense being an issue for
us during the bill time if that will

114
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:03,600
help the back of the property all way to
the front but with a limitation yeah on

115
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:08,880
the lower
one I I we haven't done a site plan yet

116
00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:23,440
but that existing drive better yeah well
okay any other

117
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:30,200
questions anybody else have any comments
questions concerns if not then so to you

118
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:33,560
Mr chair can we as a committee add
a variance for this fence to make sure

119
00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:40,880
that it can go the length of the
property to make sure the this homeowner

120
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:46,839
is uh satisfied well the S can go the
length properly just that once it go by

121
00:10:43,079 --> 00:10:51,399
the house it can only be one meter it's
given permission to make a higher high

122
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,399
all the way to

123
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:59,760
the sorry for the chair one the the
rationale behind limiting fence height

124
00:10:56,959 --> 00:11:04,959
in the front yard is to ensure the pH
people back

125
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:08,079
in pedestrian safety
andf the

126
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:22,079
reason I'm empathetic sir I I get it and
and maybe God knows if that my family

127
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:28,279
been it would be scary to me too but I I
I don't want to be put us in a position

128
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:33,320
where we're saying we if if Pathways as
a neighbor decides to do so I don't want

129
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:37,720
to put anything that requiring such a b
it it it's not

130
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:42,360
it's it's like saying I I don't like
this neighbor so the city's making me

131
00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:46,160
put up fence I don't want to get back
into that corner I'd like to see it

132
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:52,800
happen as a good neighborly decisions
rather than something that we're putting

133
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,800
in the condition in any way I find

134
00:11:52,839 --> 00:12:06,800
that than any further questions
comment if not do we have a motion

135
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:13,839

to reduce the minimum required interior
sidey WDS from 7.5 M to 1.2 M to

00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:51,240
recognize the existing interior side
yard WS of the existing buildings this

141
00:12:47,959 --> 00:12:58,079

the space for warehousing and the office

142
00:12:54,639 --> 00:13:04,880
in the north building it is noted that
on December the 19th 2024 the committee

00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:12,240
of adjustment approved three consent
applications to allow 285 Midland Drive

144
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:18,519
to sever two pieces of land to 291
Midland Drive although these

145
00:13:14,839 --> 00:13:25,120
applications will facilitate 291 Midland
Drive to expand towards the north they

146
00:13:21,959 --> 00:13:30,000
will not change the interior side yard
WDS of the existing buildings and the

150
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:55,600
the proposal specifically whether any
building would be expanding closer to

151
00:13:51,959 --> 00:14:01,720
the east lock line staff clarified the
scope of the proposed work and explained

152
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:07,839
that expanded building would not be
located any closer to the east L line

lifestock this content application

165
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:26,800
proposes to sever the existing Surplus

buildings onto a separate lot with a lot
area of 4,800 squ me

167
00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:38,639
and lot Frontage of 30.8 M on casc road
this proposed consent would result in a

168
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:43,759
minimum lot Frontage less than required
by the zoning bylaw for both the sever

169
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:49,160
and retain Lots in addition the lot area
of the retain lot would be less than the

severed lot as well as the reduced lot
area lot Frontage for the retain lot

173
00:16:01,399 --> 00:16:08,639
additionally a zoning by law amendment
is required as a condition of consent to

174
00:16:06,279 --> 00:16:13,199
rezone the separate parcel to a rural
residential Zone while the retain lot

175
00:16:11,199 --> 00:16:18,199
will be reson to a site specific
agriculture Zone to prohibit any future

176
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:23,480
residential development on the retain
lot and prevent the use of the existing

177
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:27,720
barns for the housing of livestock at
this time no comments have been received

178
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:34,959
from the public regarding this
application okay is Lloyd here or

179
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:39,440
Watson and not
Lloyd Jennifer from Watson answer theirs

180
00:16:37,959 --> 00:16:42,839
uh we're the agent for this file just
here to answer any questions it seems

181
00:16:41,319 --> 00:16:47,279
fairly straightforward we've got a
justification report from a professional

182
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:52,199
planner included um for the deficient 30
meters of Frontage from the 45 required

183
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:55,920
for R of Thea so they're basically just
separating the house from the

184
00:16:53,560 --> 00:17:00,800
agricultural so they can dispose of or
do yeah so normally it would be 45 MERS

185
00:16:58,199 --> 00:17:05,600
Frontage the we have to do um and in
this case the farmer felt very strongly

186
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:09,280
about the crop value of that land and
wanted to I'm not sure if it shows up

187
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,280
very clear in those pictures but it's
it's very much farmed it's even farmed

188
00:17:10,959 --> 00:17:16,720
over and they're still going to lose
some crops um with this configuration

189
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:22,679
but at least it's better than than
losing a lot more of it

190
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:27,400
yeah Surplus F so we've reviewed all the
conditions with the landowner and they

191
00:17:24,039 --> 00:17:32,840
