[2:09] minute says, as presented. Presentations, first on the minor variance
[2:14] A2726, 15 and 17 Portland Drive. Praise you, please. Thank
[2:21] you, Chair. The purpose is for Committee members to consider
[2:25] a minor variance application, file number A2726 with respect to
[2:30] the property at 15 and 17 Portland Drive. Legally described
[2:34] as Lot 19 on plan 52M58. The proponent is seeking
[2:39] relief from the following zoning bylaw, provisions for the following.
[2:43] Number one is from Section 3. 21. 2. 4 in
[2:48] a residential zone to permit driveways to be located between
[2:50] the front wall of the residential use building and street
[2:54] being Portland Drive. Whereas the zoning bylaw does not permit
[2:57] it. And from Section 3. 21. 2. 10 subsection D.
[3:03] In the case of semi - detached dwellings and where
[3:05] additional residential units are provided to allow a total area
[3:09] occupied by driveways, walkways and surface parking to be 60
[3:13] percent of the area of the entire front yard, whereas
[3:16] the zoning bylaw permits a maximum of 50 percent. The
[3:19] requested variances are to accommodate a proposed semi - detached
[3:22] dwelling with an additional residential unit proposed in the basement
[3:26] of each semi - detached unit. Therefore, resulting in four
[3:29] total units. The recommendation is that the Committee approved the
[3:33] requested minor variances and include the following notes in the
[3:36] decision. Note one being to ensure the locked drainage is
[3:40] maintained per the approved construction drawing C3. 1, partial site
[3:45] grading plan for the Bellwood subdivision phase 4. Should the
[3:48] construction of a walkway or other hardscaping alter the ground
[3:51] elevations at the property lines or deviate from the approved
[3:54] grading plan, a revised grading plan shall be submitted to
[3:57] the satisfaction of the city. And note 2 being that
[4:01] there is a rear yard catch basin. Rear yard catch
[4:04] basin number 6193 that abuts the north side of this
[4:07] property with an associated 3 metre wide easement, 1. 5
[4:11] metre of said easement is on this subject property. No
[4:15] obstructions shall impede said easement. Happy to take on any
[4:18] questions. Thank you. Okay, thank you. Just for the record,
[4:22] the member of the public here, uh, tonight in the
[4:26] applicant is not here as well. Uh, would you like
[4:29] to make a motion to move with the recommendation? I'll
[4:33] move. Second that motion. Um, do you have any questions.
[4:38] Just want to clarify that the staff suggested motion is
[4:46] to approve with the engineers'comments noted, but not as a
[4:53] condition. Through you chair. That's correct. So just to capture
[4:56] as notes in the formal decision letter. And is there
[5:03] a, um, rationale as to why you wouldn't want it
[5:07] as a condition. For sure. Through you chair. Um, so
[5:11] the intent is that these are just more so informative,
[5:14] um, points. So should the property ever be transferred to
[5:16] a new property owner that they be able to obtain
[5:19] a copy of this decision and be mindful of these
[5:21] notes? Currently, these are being satisfied, hence they're not a
[5:25] condition. Thank you. I have no further questions. Okay. I
[5:30] also have no questions. So we have a motion moved
[5:33] and seconded. How do you vote? I moved to approve.
[5:37] Okay. I'll favor as well. So. It's passed. Um, we
[5:42] have a secondary report. I minor variance A2826, 1924 Pitt
[5:47] Street due to a, uh, declared interest. We don't have
[5:53] quorum for this. So we'll defer this to the next
[5:56] opportunity to hear it by the committee. Okay. Um, then
[6:02] that's our last. Is there any new business. No business.
[6:05] I'm aware of. Date of the next meeting is going
[6:08] to be sometime after September 9th.
[6:27] Okay. September 23rd. Okay. We have motion to adjourn. I'll
[6:31] move to adjourn. Okay. Sojourn. Thank you very much everybody
[6:35] to your patients tonight. We settled up or we got
[6:40] settled.
