58
00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:47,400
Item 5.1 file A2601 for the property of 18 Skyline Trail in Numbleton.

59
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,940
Relief from the zoning bylaws being repusted for maximum driveway with provisions to facilitate

60
00:04:52,940 --> 00:05:00,160
an as-built driveway extension, planning staff recommended approval of application A2601

61
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,060
in accordance with conditions as set out in attachment 1.

62
00:05:04,060 --> 00:05:09,380
Notice hasn't circulated to all properties within a 60-meter radius, and two letters of objection

63
00:05:09,380 --> 00:05:14,620
have been received from 14 Skyline Trail and 8 James Bowman Court.

64
00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:18,100
There are no registered speakers for this item this evening.

65
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,380
Thank you, Secretary Treasurer. I'll call on the applicant or agent in attendance to present

66
00:05:24,380 --> 00:05:28,240
their application to the committee, please. Chair, prior to doing that, could I make a comment?

67
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:35,460
of course. I visited this property twice over the past week on both occasions. The sign was

68
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:42,820
not visible at all. It was down flat on the ground. I also understand that staff have spoken

69
00:05:42,820 --> 00:05:49,180
the email to the applicant about signs. Maybe Adrian, it can tell us what she did and then I'll

70
00:05:49,180 --> 00:05:56,440
make another comment. Sure. Secretary Treasurer, do we have any further information around the sign

71
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,360
And did we have any contact with the applicant?

72
00:06:01,180 --> 00:06:12,680
Through the chair, there's been two pieces of correspondence that have been sent out to both owner and agent in regards to placement, sign placement, and there being no visibility.

73
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:25,380
The first was sent on Wednesday August the 12th, in which case there was a reply, and the sign was repositioned to another location that did not provide visibility.

74
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:35,200
So, response followed with an image indicating an example of how it should be placed on top of the description.

75
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:41,400
That was sent the following down Thursday, August 13th, then we have not received a response since then.

76
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,640
Chair, this is a big concern to me.

77
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:51,800
Signs are important. Neighbors have to have an opportunity to either support or not support applications.

78
00:06:53,220 --> 00:07:01,520
And for that reason, I'm prepared to ask for deferral on this one to give the applicant opportunity to display the sign appropriately for another meeting.

79
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:02,920
And I would so move.

80
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:13,860
Before we get a second, can the secretary treasurer remind me what are the rules around signage like the display time?

81
00:07:13,860 --> 00:07:19,520
I get the visibility, these, and that's kind of what we're talking about here.

82
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:25,340
How many of these, the sign have to be erected prior to the committee meeting?

83
00:07:26,820 --> 00:07:29,600
The notice of hearing is issued at the same time.

84
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:52,960
At the same time, that the sign should be up, so would be a minimum of 10 days prior to hearing. We do issue that information via email to all the owners and the agents, along with detailed instructions in terms of where it should be placed, how it should be placed up, that it should be stationed to the ground, that it can't be affixed to a tree, a window, a railing, and so on and so forth.

85
00:07:52,960 --> 00:08:04,700
Okay, thank you for that clarification. So Terry, I take your motion. I'll look for a member to second that motion to defer to the next meeting.

86
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,640
Happy to second that motion to defer. Okay, bring to a second.

87
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,360
And before we vote, where we get?

88
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:22,120
I just want to confirm that because committee is deferring, there will be no additional fees to the applicant correct.

89
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:22,580
Okay,

90
00:09:08,020 --> 00:09:14,040
okay, the motion's been carried, so this item has been adjourned to a later meeting in the later date.

91
00:09:14,620 --> 00:09:22,940
We'll ask the applicant or agent to work with planning staff to find another date and time, or another date I should say,

92
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:33,240
for the next committee meeting and please ensure the sign is appropriately visible and installed until the next meeting.

93
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,740
Can the Secretary of Treasurer provide us an overview of the next application for this evening?

94
00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:51,120
Item 5.2 file A2646 for the property of 51, Crest View Road in Novelton.

95
00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:57,280
Relief in the zoning bylaws being requested for minimum interior side yard setback and

96
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,900
locked coverage to facilitate the construction of a proposed cabana.

97
00:10:01,580 --> 00:10:06,440
Planning staff recommended approval of application A2646 in accordance with conditions

98
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,760
as set out in attachment one.

99
00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:13,820
Notice as I circulated to all properties with an A-16 meter radius and no public correspondence

100
00:10:13,820 --> 00:10:14,840
has been received.

101
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,100
There are no registered speakers for this item this evening.

102
00:10:19,060 --> 00:10:24,200
Thank you Secretary Treasurer, I'll call on the applicant or agent in attendance to walk us

103
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,320
through their application to the committee this evening.

104
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:27,560
Thank you.

105
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,140
Good evening, everyone.

106
00:10:31,540 --> 00:10:32,820
Hopefully you can hear me.

107
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:33,960
Yes, we can.

108
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:34,660
Thank you.

109
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:36,200
Can you introduce yourself for the committee?

110
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,000
Of course.

111
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,700
My name is Danielle Thomes. I am the author, I say agent on behalf of the clients, the

112
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:49,060
homeowners, Kermalina, and Dominic Laylee at the address 51, Chris, we wrote in Nobleton.

113
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,360
Perfect. Thank you. So we have the materials in front of us. Can you walk the committee through

114
00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:01,800
us to why the variances are being requested this evening? Absolutely. So this we are proposing

115
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:08,200
Some backyard landscaping, which includes a cabana that we're proposing to be built.

116
00:11:09,060 --> 00:11:15,120
The two variances that we are seeking currently are one a setback.

117
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:20,100
The recurrently the setback is three meters for the structure that we're proposing.

118
00:11:21,860 --> 00:11:28,720
We would like that to be reflected at 1.75 meters, which aligns with the current house.

119
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:35,000
helps with the balance and overall aesthetic of the property, giving them the maximum usage of their space as well.

120
00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:41,440
The second would be the total gross area of the command of footprint.

121
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:51,820
We do understand that the roof and everything covered goes beyond the 120 square meters that is the current bylaw.

122
00:11:51,820 --> 00:12:06,960
However, I would like to note that the enclosed space is actually under, so the footing and the framework for the enclosed space of the structure is 91.01 square meters or the by-law states currently it's 120 square meters that is allowable

123
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:16,220
and we're hoping to extend some covered sitting areas with simple roofs that go over that to cover that which does go above and beyond the coverage allowed.

124
00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:25,380
Okay, thank you for that. Sorry, I thought I heard you see three meters to 1.75 meters.

125
00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:33,260
The material that I have in front of me has that the minimum setback is currently set at 3.6 meters.

126
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,760
3.6 meters.

127
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,400
Yeah, that might be of a stable length.

128
00:12:38,940 --> 00:12:39,080
Okay.

129
00:12:41,140 --> 00:12:45,920
Thank you. I'll open it up to questions before before we move forward.

130
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:46,840
Good morning. Good evening.

131
00:12:47,860 --> 00:12:48,760
Through you, Mr. Chair.

132
00:12:50,660 --> 00:12:53,340
Can you tell me how wide this lot is?

133
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,380
I don't have that in front of me.

134
00:12:59,580 --> 00:13:02,440
I've got all my cabana information, but not a lot.

135
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,180
But if you give me one second.

136
00:13:04,980 --> 00:13:09,060
Yeah, it's not clear on the safe plan we've got.

137
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:12,300
Not that far

138
00:13:34,570 --> 00:13:36,170
off it right here.

139
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:57,280
Total width is 25.28 meters.

140
00:13:58,460 --> 00:14:07,300
So you'd agree with me that it's a fairly wide lot, and I went and stood in the backyard,

141
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:13,580
and it is a sizable piece of space in that backyard behind the house.

142
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:27,260
Can you tell me why the cabana is eating into the side yard setback by about 50% when you have a lot of room on the other side of the lot on the other side.

143
00:14:27,260 --> 00:14:34,140
of the pool, like everything seems to be jammed into this side where it's going to butt up.

144
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,840
I know the site plan says neighboring agricultural, but I think the ground is being scraped

145
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:48,180
for commercial and mixed residential now, but everything seems to be jammed into that side

146
00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:55,240
yard setback, but to the tune of about a 50% reduction in the side yard setback, when you

147
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,620
have all this other space in this lot.

148
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:22,700
Yeah, that's a great question. Happy to address. So, yes, coming down into it, part of the conversation with at least these homeowners is that they've got a growing family. They want as much space along the back property line as they can progress in play area. We do intend to add more trees and stuff along the back. And one note on this as well is that, well, we're going to put a bunch of alumni trees behind the piano on that side yard.

149
00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:32,760
setback to add not only a green, sound, noise barrier, and visual barrier as well to the new subdivisions.

150
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:43,160
They're not looking at this Kavanaugh from the backside, but also for the homeowners as well to help with construction, noise reduction and all of those good things that go with that.

151
00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:52,270
I would agree with you that in terms of the depth, there's a lot of depth space at the back.

152
00:15:52,890 --> 00:15:55,370
But they would have the same visual barrier.

153
00:15:56,250 --> 00:16:00,530
If it actually was within the side yard set back or 3.6,

154
00:16:00,710 --> 00:16:04,970
as opposed to 175.

155
00:16:10,540 --> 00:16:13,740
Sure, it could be on the side yard.

156
00:16:14,380 --> 00:16:17,380
However, it doesn't need a fair bit on the property itself.

157
00:16:17,380 --> 00:16:21,740
So if you start to bring that into the property and the balance kind of gets a little bit

158
00:16:21,740 --> 00:16:27,280
thrown off at least with design intent and functional intent as well without changing too much

159
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,180
and what they're proposing and then you should jump the structure itself.

160
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,500
Chair, thank you through you to staff.

161
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,480
When I first took a look at this application, the thing that stood out right away was the fact

162
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:53,100
that the house actually is set back by 1.75 also, I thought it possibly could have been a

163
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:58,240
previous minor variance, but I did ask staff about that and perhaps staff could explain

164
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,880
why the house is legal the way it is and doesn't require a variance.

165
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:10,540
Through the chair, this question relates to the construction of additions to an existing dwelling.

166
00:17:10,540 --> 00:17:16,300
So, the by-law requires a minimum interior size, a setback of 3.6 meters.

167
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:22,980
However, the portion of the house with the setback of 1.73 meters was determined to be legal,

168
00:17:23,420 --> 00:17:26,720
not conforming based off the processes the township had in place.

169
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:33,540
As got specific portion of the dwelling was existing and established prior to the current zoning

170
00:17:33,540 --> 00:17:35,240
by-law and the current zoning requirements.

171
00:17:35,820 --> 00:17:39,340
And this was supported through documentation to township zoning side.

172
00:17:39,340 --> 00:17:41,740
The new additions, like I said,

173
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,080
is additions to the house.

174
00:17:43,580 --> 00:17:46,400
The new additions beyond the existing building footprint.

175
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,660
That was determined to be legal known for me.

176
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,460
I required to comply with the current zoning standards,

177
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,720
including the 3.6 meter interior setback.

178
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:00,200
At the time of their process through the township,

179
00:18:00,620 --> 00:18:02,880
this was just demonstrated and complied with,

180
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,180
and the applicants have since received all necessary

181
00:18:05,180 --> 00:18:08,340
approvals and permits from the township for the dwelling.

182
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:16,200
The second question to staff, I could chair, the agricultural land to the south.

183
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:22,860
Do you know much about the subdivision in terms of what size lots they will be and whether

184
00:18:22,860 --> 00:18:28,400
that crest view will extend and this house will have another one right up against it?

185
00:18:29,380 --> 00:18:32,400
So unfortunately at this time, I do not have the information.

186
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:40,740
is a draft approved, draft approved plan for single detached dwelling lots, as mentioned in

187
00:18:40,740 --> 00:18:41,460
staff support.

188
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,320
Thank you.

189
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,040
Danielle, the question I'm reading in additional comments from

190
00:18:57,820 --> 00:19:06,000
development engineering, they're requesting that at least 0.6 meters. So my question stems from

191
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,460
the conversation around the trees that you're going to be planting in the in the

192
00:19:10,460 --> 00:19:16,100
setback area. That 0.6 meters from the property line must be

193
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:21,020
underserved. So did you see that comment and are you and the applicant in agreement

194
00:19:21,020 --> 00:19:26,440
with that? Yes, and yes, we have spoken with, I believe it was our planner,

195
00:19:26,940 --> 00:19:30,620
E.C. at the time, who had mentioned that as well, and that can remain underserved

196
00:19:30,620 --> 00:19:36,440
who will bring the trees in a little bit, at least that two feet, like six meters, and make sure

197
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,740
that that remains undisturbed, and then the trees can grow, as I mentioned before, previously

198
00:19:40,740 --> 00:19:47,060
they will be clung their varieties, so they shouldn't require too much canopy space for or to be

199
00:19:47,060 --> 00:19:52,260
within that disturbed area by too much at all. Okay, thank you. And just to circle back on Terry's

200
00:19:52,260 --> 00:20:00,600
question, we don't know what's going to be developed to the self of the property, like what's

201
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:06,940
for single-by-touch dwelling lots, that is a different application, but it has been dropped

202
00:20:06,940 --> 00:20:07,460
approved.

203
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,660
Thank you.

204
00:20:12,810 --> 00:20:14,010
No further questions.

205
00:20:14,250 --> 00:20:16,570
I'll look for somebody to move this application.

206
00:20:17,590 --> 00:20:25,010
Chair, I move that application A2646 together with all the recommendation, recommended

207
00:20:25,010 --> 00:20:31,310
conditions of approval, as it is, in my opinion, the proposed meets the four tests

208
00:20:31,310 --> 00:20:33,210
of the Pioneer Act.

209
00:20:33,430 --> 00:20:33,930
Thank you, Terry.

210
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:35,330
Do I have a second?

211
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:38,480
Do you know a second?

212
00:20:58,620 --> 00:21:01,520
Okay, Danielle Motion carried your application has been approved.

213
00:21:01,660 --> 00:21:02,300
Thank you.

214
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:04,180
Thank you very much.

215
00:21:09,690 --> 00:21:13,830
Can the Secretary Treasurer provide us with an overview of the next application for this evening?

216
00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:27,810
Item 5.3 file a 2650 for the property of 81 Elizabeth's Drive in Ogleton.

217
00:21:28,410 --> 00:21:32,970
Relief in the zoning bylaws being requested for the maximum permitted front yard set back

218
00:21:32,970 --> 00:21:40,670
to facilitate the development of the second-story addition of a previously approved single-story garage addition.

219
00:21:41,410 --> 00:21:46,390
Planning staff recommended approval of application A2650 in accordance with the conditions as

220
00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:52,070
set out in attachment one. Notice has been circulated to all properties with an A16 meter radius

221
00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:59,170
and a petition in support has been received. We have one registered speaker for this item this evening,

222
00:21:59,170 --> 00:22:01,130
Mr. Peter Grandduley.

223
00:22:08,830 --> 00:22:10,370
Thank you, Secretary Treasurer.

224
00:22:11,650 --> 00:22:15,010
Hi, Peter, the applicant or agent to speak to this item.

225
00:22:17,990 --> 00:22:22,570
Okay, we'll call you up after the applicant or agent has had a chance to speak.

226
00:22:23,550 --> 00:22:24,870
Okay, I'll call you up after.

227
00:22:25,610 --> 00:22:25,830
Yeah.

228
00:22:26,510 --> 00:22:29,290
We'll forget is the applicant or agent.

229
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,480
We speak to the application. Thank you.

230
00:22:41,930 --> 00:23:01,410
Good evening. Are you want to introduce yourself? I'm Daniel Tzadabri from Nobu Brother Zink. Okay. Daniel, can you take us here? I was trying to go through the previous approval that we had given. Give us a little bit of a context of what's transpired since we got that approval and what you're seeking for this evening.

231
00:23:03,250 --> 00:23:25,950
So, we originally got the minor variants for the setback of a single story garage, and since then the family has grown, and my parents are loving grandparents, and they need more space, and the most reasonable way to get that space was over top of the garage.

232
00:23:25,950 --> 00:23:33,370
And that is basically what this is to inquire about going up about the garage.

233
00:23:35,170 --> 00:23:42,750
Okay, so you mentioned family's growing more space, this is not an in living dwelling unit, it's a garage.

234
00:23:43,150 --> 00:23:45,770
Correct, there's no going to be nobody going to be living in this unit.

235
00:23:46,410 --> 00:23:47,950
No, you mean above the garage?

236
00:23:47,950 --> 00:23:49,190
Correct, no.

237
00:23:50,130 --> 00:23:51,250
Or below the garage?

238
00:23:51,570 --> 00:23:54,070
No, no, no, absolutely nothing on the garage, no.

239
00:23:54,070 --> 00:23:58,870
Okay, so you need more storage space because you have more folks living in the house.

240
00:23:59,550 --> 00:24:04,490
So basically the area upstairs, it's with a washroom as well.

241
00:24:05,050 --> 00:24:10,150
So my children, basically they're saying my parents are talking about an arts studio,

242
00:24:10,490 --> 00:24:12,810
a place a space for them to play indoors.

243
00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:19,090
Since the whole indoor interior of the property now is more for my parents

244
00:24:19,090 --> 00:24:21,310
in terms of a family room and kitchen.

245
00:24:21,310 --> 00:24:27,270
So they just wanted to get a little bit more space for storage as well as the kids to play

246
00:24:27,890 --> 00:24:29,610
It's basically the concept

247
00:24:31,180 --> 00:24:34,980
Okay any questions from committee for Daniel

248
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,940
could you expand on that a bit more so there's going to be no bedrooms above the garage?

249
00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:48,640
No, no. Yeah, so a bathroom and a big play area

250
00:24:49,300 --> 00:24:55,180
Yeah, basically it's I believe it's 600 square feet is what it came out to so

251
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:03,720
So during the construction we're finding that we're not saving, but it's not as expensive

252
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,940
to go up as we had expected.

253
00:25:06,860 --> 00:25:14,340
We didn't plan on it before I just had a new child, so now we're discussing dance, music,

254
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:20,080
art that my children and that were in Canada, it's not a fortune.

255
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:29,360
We like the cold weather, but they're in the cold weather to be inside and doing things of the nature of playing sports and so on as I have my son.

256
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:37,080
That's what the idea of that space is to have if they get dirty to have the wash when they're to clean up, so this is the concept of having an area up there.

257
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,260
And then, of course, additional storage is included in that.

258
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,240
Okay. Question for staff.

259
00:25:46,620 --> 00:25:54,540
When I was, or staff, when I was looking at the previous approval, so I have before us the approval this evening.

260
00:25:55,420 --> 00:26:08,640
If I look at the planning report, we are proving to permit a front yard set back of 3.6 meters from the zoning that requires a 7.5 meter set back.

261
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:16,800
So in our previous approval, did we approve a smaller set back than 7.5 meters?

262
00:26:19,850 --> 00:26:26,730
Through the chair, I do not have the previous approval of front of me, but from my understanding in May of 2024,

263
00:26:27,330 --> 00:26:34,670
May of 2024, committee did approve the garage to be the garage to have a 3.6.

264
00:26:35,310 --> 00:26:39,190
So the garage addition to have a 3.6 meter from your set back.

265
00:26:39,190 --> 00:26:46,550
Okay, so we've already approved the 3.6 meter set back, so will be approved before us is just to

266
00:26:46,550 --> 00:26:48,030
recommit to the 3.6.

267
00:26:48,790 --> 00:26:53,090
So the approval is for, so the garage is a tag, I'm sorry.

268
00:26:54,310 --> 00:27:01,450
So the approval from 2024 is for the front-year set back to the garage, which at that time was

269
00:27:01,450 --> 00:27:07,170
supposed to be a single story in garage, as they are now adding a garage addition, a second

270
00:27:07,170 --> 00:27:10,570
story edition on top, they still have to maintain that setback.

271
00:27:10,770 --> 00:27:15,470
So they are a still in front of committee today to have the 3.6-meter setback to the second

272
00:27:15,470 --> 00:27:16,090
floor edition.

273
00:27:16,550 --> 00:27:16,690
Okay.

274
00:27:17,050 --> 00:27:17,190
Okay.

275
00:27:17,330 --> 00:27:18,110
Thanks for the clarity.

276
00:27:18,490 --> 00:27:19,690
I appreciate that.

277
00:27:20,350 --> 00:27:21,730
Any other questions for the applicant?

278
00:27:22,390 --> 00:27:23,830
Just a comment, Chair.

279
00:27:23,950 --> 00:27:29,470
Not so much a question to the applicant, but I remember this application from a couple of years

280
00:27:29,470 --> 00:27:35,770
ago and I think that I was in support of it because it was a single story.

281
00:27:36,670 --> 00:27:43,090
I felt that because it was a single story 3.6 meters, it wasn't appropriate my interference.

282
00:27:43,910 --> 00:27:51,790
I'm not sure how I feel now about it being a 7-2-story structure, but I'll determine that after

283
00:27:51,790 --> 00:27:52,650
all the discussion.

284
00:27:54,270 --> 00:27:55,350
Thank you Mr. Chair.

285
00:27:56,550 --> 00:28:00,250
And maybe we can have the applicant address that issue.

286
00:28:00,250 --> 00:28:07,190
What's the degree of impact on the second story being added to this as opposed to being single story?

287
00:28:07,710 --> 00:28:12,910
As I look at the plan, you're going to drive way and make a turn into the garage.

288
00:28:14,970 --> 00:28:19,170
So, like you're coming in off the street, there's going to be a curb cut and whatnot.

289
00:28:19,390 --> 00:28:22,310
But what's the impact on anybody around you?

290
00:28:22,370 --> 00:28:25,590
I mean that's a consideration for us all the time.

291
00:28:26,810 --> 00:28:33,550
is this, is this tree burned? Is there any kind of break? Whatever. Just what's the degree of

292
00:28:33,550 --> 00:28:46,050
impact? Well, the fortune part of this situation is that we're lined with trees around the whole

293
00:28:46,050 --> 00:28:51,430
property. So I believe the trees are something I could be completely wrong with something to the extent

294
00:28:51,430 --> 00:28:57,630
of 40 to 50 feet, all lines right on the back of where this garage will be.

295
00:28:57,890 --> 00:29:03,130
So in essence, in terms of my opinion, it's not really affecting anything in terms of

296
00:29:03,130 --> 00:29:06,290
sight lines because it's covered with which are evergreen trees.

297
00:29:07,910 --> 00:29:16,170
I've literally spoken to almost every neighbor on the street of cross and Elizabeth, they were

298
00:29:16,170 --> 00:29:23,410
on support which was really powerful and grateful for to them, but to be honest, I don't

299
00:29:23,410 --> 00:29:28,510
see any problems in terms of the visual aspect of where it's laying because of these trees.

300
00:29:28,550 --> 00:29:37,010
It actually creates a really nice structure and then our focal point to view and with the

301
00:29:37,010 --> 00:29:46,910
lighting that's going to be on the new garage is going to upgrade the appearance of the property.

302
00:29:47,870 --> 00:29:50,390
So, is that a board and batten sighting on this?

303
00:29:50,470 --> 00:29:51,230
There you go.

304
00:29:51,670 --> 00:29:53,910
Yeah, that's what we're looking at at the moment.

305
00:29:58,380 --> 00:29:59,940
Okay, thanks for the quiet any other.

306
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:09,060
Any questions for the applicant? So what we'll do, Daniels, we have you say we have a gentleman who'd like to come and speak and then we'll make a decision.

307
00:30:09,620 --> 00:30:10,040
Thank you.

308
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,160
Thank you.

309
00:30:12,740 --> 00:30:16,180
So I'll invite Peter to the mic.

310
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,200
Thank you.

311
00:30:23,620 --> 00:30:30,420
Good evening. My name is Peter Grondilly, and I do represented a property across the street from 81, 88 Elizabeth.

312
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,540
I have no objection to story or story or story or so on.

313
00:30:36,980 --> 00:30:40,600
I thought that in Novelton you can go up to 90 meters.

314
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,760
So we can make one story in 90 meters.

315
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,700
We can live two stories.

316
00:30:46,940 --> 00:30:48,800
One story is 90 meters.

317
00:30:48,980 --> 00:30:49,360
I don't know.

318
00:30:49,700 --> 00:30:51,280
We don't put anything in the middle.

319
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,740
It's only one.

320
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,020
I don't know.

321
00:30:54,020 --> 00:30:55,480
The height doesn't bother me,

322
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,640
and it's all about taking a similar price there.

323
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,420
He had a lot of comment about this.

324
00:31:00,700 --> 00:31:03,900
Two years ago, he approved it because it was a single story house.

325
00:31:05,980 --> 00:31:08,200
I don't think this will make any difference at this time.

326
00:31:08,580 --> 00:31:14,020
If it's going to two stories, because the fact that the trees are much taller than a two-story

327
00:31:14,020 --> 00:31:15,640
that is going to go there.

328
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,340
So therefore, I think that should be considered.

329
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,880
The main thing that I'm over here also beside that I'm okay with it.

330
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:35,880
The way the notice that we're now, the way are written, written over here, if I'm confused, I don't know, but this is,

331
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:44,420
zoning by law 2616-071, which was approved almost two years ago.

332
00:31:45,860 --> 00:31:52,620
And in the height over here, what the by law says about the height, if everybody can build up to nine meters,

333
00:31:53,820 --> 00:32:04,160
Unless, written this again now, we're going to change this from Ari one, from Ari one, to Ari two, I guess, two stories.

334
00:32:06,490 --> 00:32:11,170
Which by-law, is he breaking right now? Why did he have to make an application or not?

335
00:32:12,090 --> 00:32:20,650
So to answer you Peter, there was a point of clarification that I asked, the approval that the applicant received two years ago was for the setback.

336
00:32:20,650 --> 00:32:22,390
that wasn't, we're not talking about height.

337
00:32:22,930 --> 00:32:25,810
So the front yard setback is seven and a half meters

338
00:32:25,810 --> 00:32:28,610
as per the by-law, so because they're building,

339
00:32:29,030 --> 00:32:30,850
they were gonna eat into that setback

340
00:32:30,850 --> 00:32:33,090
and they got approval for 3.6 meters.

341
00:32:33,690 --> 00:32:35,310
Now, because they're adding a second story,

342
00:32:35,930 --> 00:32:39,290
they have to come back and ask for the same setback

343
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:40,310
because they're going up.

344
00:32:40,370 --> 00:32:43,390
It's not a height conversation that we're having.

345
00:32:43,710 --> 00:32:47,390
It's still the setback from the front yard setback

346
00:32:47,390 --> 00:32:48,110
that we're talking about.

347
00:32:48,210 --> 00:32:48,570
Thank you.

348
00:32:48,570 --> 00:32:49,530
I also have a lot of confusing.

349
00:32:51,150 --> 00:32:52,770
Thank you very much.

350
00:32:53,130 --> 00:32:53,950
Okay, thank you, Peter.

351
00:32:55,750 --> 00:32:56,850
So we'll invite the applicant back.

352
00:32:57,270 --> 00:33:01,530
If we have any other questions, otherwise I'll look for a member to move this item.

353
00:33:13,020 --> 00:33:22,280
Mr. I moved to approve application A2650 together with all the recommended conditions.

354
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,720
of approval. Is it in my opinion that the proposal meets the four tests in the plan

355
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:35,360
act? And the second for addition is, it's not going to be notable from the roads, and

356
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:39,880
it's going to blend in a while over time. Thank you, Dino. I'll second.

357
00:33:58,430 --> 00:33:58,930
Okay, Daniel,

358
00:33:59,010 --> 00:34:07,730
motion, carry your application has been approved. Thank you. Thank you. Can the Secretary

359
00:34:07,730 --> 00:34:11,250
the Treasury provide us an overview with the final application for this evening.

360
00:34:17,330 --> 00:34:23,130
Item 5.4, file a 2653 for the property of 570 King Street.

361
00:34:23,790 --> 00:34:28,930
Relief from the zoning bylaws being requested for front yard, set back porch encroachment and

362
00:34:28,930 --> 00:34:35,410
driveway provisions to facilitate the development of an addition to an existing single detached

363
00:34:35,410 --> 00:34:39,030
dwelling and to permit two existing driveways.

364
00:34:39,030 --> 00:34:43,710
An administrative error was recently identified in the notice of hearing.

365
00:34:44,390 --> 00:34:49,750
The planning report has since been corrected and no substantial changes to the application

366
00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:51,990
or staff recommendations have occurred.

367
00:34:52,990 --> 00:34:58,230
Planning staff recommended approval of application A2653 in accordance with the conditions

368
00:34:58,230 --> 00:35:00,150
as settled in attachment 1.

369
00:35:00,590 --> 00:35:05,690
Notice has been circulated to all properties within a 60-meter radius and no public correspondence

370
00:35:05,690 --> 00:35:09,870
has been received. There are no registered speakers for this item in the evening.

371
00:35:10,350 --> 00:35:15,630
Thank you, Secretary Treasurer. I'll invite the applicant or their agent to approach the podium

372
00:35:15,630 --> 00:35:18,230
or online to walk us through this application.

373
00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:29,960
Good evening. Well, ISIS from Springwater Engineering

374
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:40,440
agent for the eaks. We've read all the comments. We appreciate the feedback. We understand the

375
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:47,120
conditions, and please to say that the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority

376
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,320
permit arrived today.

377
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:58,200
The dryways are existing for agricultural purposes, and the

378
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:06,780
porch we are not extending farther than the existing porch to the front yard. I can

379
00:36:06,780 --> 00:36:09,560
answer any questions if you have any.

380
00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:14,580
I'll open it up to committee if there's any questions.

381
00:36:15,620 --> 00:36:21,140
Maybe you could just tell us, so everybody knows just what the intent is here is.

382
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:28,560
I understand you're taking a small house and making into a much larger place with farm garage.

383
00:36:29,820 --> 00:36:36,120
There's a shop being added to the rear of the expanded residents.

384
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:44,140
What's the degree of impact on this new building on surrounding neighbors?

385
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:48,180
The neighbors are far and few.

386
00:36:50,710 --> 00:36:55,120
The existing agricultural building on the site is already quite large.

387
00:36:55,560 --> 00:37:00,700
I think the addition will be smaller than that existing agricultural building.

388
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,820
I don't think there's much of an impact to the neighbors.

389
00:37:04,820 --> 00:37:08,560
The addition is to the rear of the existing residents.

390
00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:12,080
At this lot's, a very large lot?

391
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,360
It is a very large lot.

392
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,000
But this is at the front of the lot.

393
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:16,640
It is at the front of the lot.

394
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,640
And who owns lots on both sides?

395
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,380
I believe that the owner of this property owns the property around.

396
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:26,440
The ex, yeah.

397
00:37:27,300 --> 00:37:29,720
I believe he's here. You may be able to tell you better.

398
00:37:37,950 --> 00:37:40,750
Any further questions from the committee?

399
00:37:40,970 --> 00:37:41,590
For the applicant.

400
00:37:42,090 --> 00:37:42,390
No?

401
00:37:43,190 --> 00:37:46,670
If we're comfortable with this application, can I get a member to move this item?

402
00:37:48,030 --> 00:37:54,330
Through you, Mr. Chair, I moved to approve application A2653.

403
00:37:54,950 --> 00:37:58,910
Together with all recommended conditions of approval, my opinion that the proposals

404
00:37:58,910 --> 00:38:04,450
meets the four tests on the Planning Act and has minimal impact on anything around it.

405
00:38:04,750 --> 00:38:05,490
Thank you.

406
00:38:06,070 --> 00:38:08,110
Okay. Second. You know a second.

407
00:38:19,060 --> 00:38:21,920
Okay. Motion carried. Your application has been approved. Thank you.

408
00:38:21,980 --> 00:38:23,460
Thank you very much. I'm a great evening.

409
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,740
I'm six on the agenda. The next meeting for committee. Can the Secretary

410
00:38:35,740 --> 00:38:38,500
Treasurer please confirm the date of our next hearing?

411
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,920
The next meeting will take place on Wednesdays of

412
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,700
Number 16, that's expand.

413
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:47,220
Thank you.

414
00:38:47,300 --> 00:38:49,240
Can I have a motion to adjourn the meeting?

415
00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:55,340
I'll get a second for that motion.

416
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:56,880
Thank you, sir.

417
00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,100
All in favor?

418
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:00,860
Motion carry.

419
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,060
The meeting is now adjourned.

420
00:39:02,220 --> 00:39:02,600
Thank you.
