side yard setback variance for proposed accessory structure detached garage
at one hundred Fleming road
with the applicant or applicants are present if so can
you please state your name and your relationship to the
application
my name is ray Arsenio and I am the owner
thank you
hi with the site posted as per the planning act
requirements yes it was and did you receive staff comments
yes I did
do you wish to add anything further to your application
I I would like to if that's okay okay and
you have up to ten minutes to address committee
... I I noticed on the road one of the
recommendations I believe it came from engineering and it was
pertaining to the drive way that it shows on the
drawing ... my wife and I have decided not to
put a driveway ... at the side of the house
... so I'm asking if that recommendation can be ...
but maybe revolves to removed and you know it maybe
in a year from now if we decide that we
want to put that ... driveway in an Odyssey we
would follow that recommendation and apply for the Kerr cutting
permit and pay the associated fees that were made I
I think it's the city what other not that's that's
all have
Preston
can you answer that
yes three chair yeah that's fine the the reason for
this condition was that the site plan drawings showed the
new access as well as they showed that that should
or will be used as a garage one point ...
so that's why those conditions were put in but if
that's not the intent to of of the applicant in
those conditions can be removed
that's great
okay so that's conditions 2 and 3
I believe so yes thank you okay
committee members give any questions for the applicant or stuff
yes committee member Smith
three you'd share to staff I just want a little
clarity on the zoning ... if this was an attached
garage
what we are with a set back a one point
five meters ... the secession or is it just us
it seems to me that are
it seems that
we have no issue you have no issues with the
I'm just curious if
one point five meters would be ... sufficient which wasn't
much ...
through the chair that this is a little bit of
a different situation because the property is actually zoned urban
lancer ... and urban reserve ... is someone I've been
in terms of will and ... there are some lands
in the city that are still zoned urban reserve and
they were put in that zoning category back in nineteen
ninety five when the zoning bylaw is complacent oftentimes it
was because there is an insufficient information at the time
to put men appropriate zoning category ... or their lands
without municipal services so if if this property was actually
is ... and like a residential so like an R.
one and B. or C. it that and it was
an attached garage it would just be a requirement the
setback for there's only so safe it was an R.
one B. ... it would be a one point five
meter step back if it was attached if it wasn't
if in a residential zone accessory buildings or structures are
only required if they are detached ...
wait six meters from a lot line so it's because
of the urban reserve zone which is why the
bear setback is required
thank you I'm doing
are there any other questions from committee members
okay
... if the door other further questions I'll ask for
comments from members of the public as noted at the
start of the hearing we have not received any request
from the public to speak to this application in advance
of the here
before moving into bait to debate and discussion we will
take a three minute break so many members of the
public watching from home who wish to speak to this
application which is file number
828 slash 20
so you can call then I does that all hearing
participants ensure that your microphones are muted during the break
thank you
through the chair I can confirm that we didn't receive
any delegation requests
thank you very much the committee will now begin to
discuss the application to make a decision but this point
there are no further questions or discussions with the applicant
did those in attendance committee members do you wish to
make a motion so please raise your hand
yes member Kendrick
what was conditions
I think there is some discussion
with respect to conditions 2 and 3
delete conditions to ensure it is time
Dr seconded that motion
sorry I
okay thank you member needs I didn't see year on
the second screen here
okay then
is there any did okay sorry member Smith is there
any discussion on the motion yes
you have to admit yourself sorry I had double needed
it ... I just have a question about deleting those
two conditions fully I'm wondering if it be more appropriate
to amend them so that ... it would read in
engineering services are comment number three take away the word
prior and ... change it to something like
at the time of application for a building permit as
I I'm I'm just fearful that if we take away
that condition than ... and maybe staff can comment on
this ...
it might need the City liable to make that Herb
**** at the city's expense
do you have a comment from staff
through you chair arm no I don't think I would
be required because if it were to come in for
a carp caught or engines Clement we have a separate
entrance permit that
residents can apply for so
they will be applicant ... at that time would be
paying for that cost
so I I don't think it's needed if the intent
is not to construct the driver right now I don't
think it's needed
thank you
okay so we have a motion on the floor with
that and we have a
motion is made in the cells have been seconded any
bad anyone else further discussion on the motion
