minute says, as presented. Presentations, first on the minor variance
A2726, 15 and 17 Portland Drive. Praise you, please. Thank
you, Chair. The purpose is for Committee members to consider
a minor variance application, file number A2726 with respect to
the property at 15 and 17 Portland Drive. Legally described
as Lot 19 on plan 52M58. The proponent is seeking
relief from the following zoning bylaw, provisions for the following.
Number one is from Section 3. 21. 2. 4 in
a residential zone to permit driveways to be located between
the front wall of the residential use building and street
being Portland Drive. Whereas the zoning bylaw does not permit
it. And from Section 3. 21. 2. 10 subsection D.
In the case of semi - detached dwellings and where
additional residential units are provided to allow a total area
occupied by driveways, walkways and surface parking to be 60
percent of the area of the entire front yard, whereas
the zoning bylaw permits a maximum of 50 percent. The
requested variances are to accommodate a proposed semi - detached
dwelling with an additional residential unit proposed in the basement
of each semi - detached unit. Therefore, resulting in four
total units. The recommendation is that the Committee approved the
requested minor variances and include the following notes in the
decision. Note one being to ensure the locked drainage is
maintained per the approved construction drawing C3. 1, partial site
grading plan for the Bellwood subdivision phase 4. Should the
construction of a walkway or other hardscaping alter the ground
elevations at the property lines or deviate from the approved
grading plan, a revised grading plan shall be submitted to
the satisfaction of the city. And note 2 being that
there is a rear yard catch basin. Rear yard catch
basin number 6193 that abuts the north side of this
property with an associated 3 metre wide easement, 1. 5
metre of said easement is on this subject property. No
obstructions shall impede said easement. Happy to take on any
questions. Thank you. Okay, thank you. Just for the record,
the member of the public here, uh, tonight in the
applicant is not here as well. Uh, would you like
to make a motion to move with the recommendation? I'll
move. Second that motion. Um, do you have any questions.
Just want to clarify that the staff suggested motion is
to approve with the engineers'comments noted, but not as a
condition. Through you chair. That's correct. So just to capture
as notes in the formal decision letter. And is there
a, um, rationale as to why you wouldn't want it
as a condition. For sure. Through you chair. Um, so
the intent is that these are just more so informative,
um, points. So should the property ever be transferred to
a new property owner that they be able to obtain
a copy of this decision and be mindful of these
notes? Currently, these are being satisfied, hence they're not a
condition. Thank you. I have no further questions. Okay. I
also have no questions. So we have a motion moved
and seconded. How do you vote? I moved to approve.
Okay. I'll favor as well. So. It's passed. Um, we
have a secondary report. I minor variance A2826, 1924 Pitt
Street due to a, uh, declared interest. We don't have
quorum for this. So we'll defer this to the next
opportunity to hear it by the committee. Okay. Um, then
that's our last. Is there any new business. No business.
I'm aware of. Date of the next meeting is going
to be sometime after September 9th.
Okay. September 23rd. Okay. We have motion to adjourn. I'll
move to adjourn. Okay. Sojourn. Thank you very much everybody
to your patients tonight. We settled up or we got
settled.
