CONSENT APPLICATIONS MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIED 6.1 B18/01 (1614) OWNER/APPLICANT AGENT LOCATION OF LAND KIERAN MCCOURT 254 CAROLYN DRIVE OAKVILLE, ON L6K 3M5 WEIR FOULDS 1525 CORNWALL ROAD, SUITE 10 OAKVILLE, ON L6J 0B2 PLAN 347 PART LOTS 156 AND CAROLYN DRIVE OAKVILLE, ON The purpose of the application is to permit the proposed creation of a new lot on the subject property. Present Representing Application Denise Baker, Weir Folds, 1525 Cornwall Road, Suite 10, Oakville, ON L6J 0B2 Planning Recommendation Planning staff recommend approval of application B18/01 (1614) subject to the conditions set out in Appendix A. Call for Public Deputation The chair asked whether there was anyone in attendance either in support of or in opposition to this application. A show of hands indicated that there was. 4

5 Agent Overview The agent provided the following overview of the application: Property is zoned RL3-0in This was the zoning by-law that was put in place to implement Livable Oakville and its policies. Requesting consent for two new lots. Severed lot having 558.7sqm with a frontage of 21.79m and a retained lit of 633.2sqm with a frontage of 21.59m. This is a demonstration of gentle intensification. Planning and regional staff note that the subject application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the growth plan. Proposed lots comply with the RL-3 regulations and are compatible with the surrounding lot. Municipal trees are that area currently being treated for emerald ash borer will be maintained. Driveway locations have been designed to preserve the trees. Public Deputations Gordon Petch, 251 Carolyn Drive spoke in opposition noting the following concerns: Presented the committee with written submissions which included a concept plan showing what two homes would look like on these new lots. As you can see, I will lose my backyard. This will also happen to the home on Highland and Carolyn. Don t want homes in this area to not have a backyard. The official plan requires that they conform to all relevant policies. This is not compatible with adjacent lots. It does not maintain the existing neighbourhood structure. This is an invasion into an established neighbourhood. Carol McMahon, 244 Carolyn Drive, spoke in opposition noting the following concerns: Agree with Mr. Petch s concerns. Also concerned with water damage and drainage. Our neighbourhood has an underground stream. We have had to install sump pumps. If approved, we will be looking at a brick wall. Ed Howell, 245 Carolyn Drive, spoke in opposition noting the following concerns: Fourteen of the 20 neighbours are in opposition to this application. This is not compatible with the surrounding fabric at all. My privacy and the nature light to my property will be negatively affected. The well-being of trees will be jeopardized. Also concerned with drainage. I too have installed a sump pump. 5

6 Demolishing the pool will also have ramifications. Not compatible with adjacent properties. Committee Response The committee had the following in response to the neighbours concerns: There are other lots in the area that are similar in size and there are another four lots that are up for severance. Water damage and drainage will be satisfied with the site alteration permit requirements. Both of these lots will be subject to site plan approval. The footprint depicted on the submission is larger than what would be built in reality. The diagram would violate the by-laws and is not a fair representation. There is no requirement on the part of the developer to show us what will be built on these lots. Agent Response The agent had the following in response to the neighbours concerns: I too have the same concerns with the use of the diagram submitted. It is clear that homes can be built on these lots with any need for variances. This has been characterized as a stable neighbourhood but stable is not equated with static. Both lots require site plan approval which will deal with natural light and shading. Any drainage issues including those from the demolition of the pool will be satisfied with the site alteration permit. Pools are filled in all the time in Oakville. Lots of lots have sump pumps in Oakville and this is not part of this committee jurisdiction. These lots are compatible with others in the neighbourhood. Motion to Approve Application B18/01(1614) A motion was made to approve application B18/01(1614) Satisfied that the matters set out under Section 51(24) pf the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended, the application conforms to the Official Plan and zoning by-law. The committee considered the public interest for the proposed application. Subject to the conditions outlined in the decision. Opposed to Motion to Approve Application B18/01(1614) None COMMITTEE DECISION B17/08 (1611) That the Committee of Adjustment considered the public concerns for the proposed creation of a new lot. Notwithstanding the Committee having considered the matters set out under Section 51(24) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended, and as the 6

7 application conforms to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, the Committee recommends that the application be approved subject to the following conditions: SCHEDULE A This is Schedule A attached to and forming part of the Notice of Decision regarding application for Consent File B18/01 (1614). 1.

Present Representing Application David Capper, Glen Schnarr & Associates, 10 Kingsbridge Garden Circle, Suite 700, Mississauga, ON L5R 3K6 Planning Recommendation Planning staff are of the opinion that application CAV A/042/2018 satisfies all four tests under the Planning Act. Call for Public Deputation The chair asked whether there was anyone in attendance either in support of or in opposition to application CAV A/042/2018. A show of hands indicated that there was. Agent Overview The agent provided the following overview of the application: 9

10 There was a minor error in the staff report. The date of the drawings is incorrect; it should read February 23, Requesting two variances. First one is for an increase in the maximum permitted residential floor area of 3.61% above what is permitted. Second one to allow a minimum front yard setback of 9.16m where is required. That dimension is from the front property line to the columns for the overhang for the front porch. The intent is to allow for undulation in the building and make it look lit it has some relief. Submitted a PowerPoint presentation to the committee. We are 1.13% below what is permissible on the property versus what is being proposed. Proposed elevations were shown. Appreciate concerns of neighbours but disagree with respect to the impact of the propose dwelling with respect to sunlight. Photos of the property were shown indicating that the reality is with the loss of sunshine by the time the sun has risen to the point that it has actually cleared the trees the height of the building will no longer be relevant with respect to a shadowing impact. Trees are substantially higher than the proposed dwelling. The response to the concern of the neighbour with regard to the front yard setback and potential impact that it is going to have on sunlight penetration into his yard, the as of right response to that concern is to shift the building into the rear yard and comply with the front yard setback. If we do that we will introduce building mass within the rear yard and two windows that will have an overview into his rear yard. Feel this is a better solution that what the as of right would allow for. Public Deputations Frances Mailtand, 1251 Hillhurst Road spoke in opposition noting the following concerns: This will impede upon the access to natural light. Submitted photos to the committee indicating how the trees lining the school yard has nothing to do with the sunlight we are talking about and showing the amount of sunlight that the get. Ask that they remain within the zoning by-law. It does not align and will impact us negatively. We have no issues with them moving the house back into the rear yard. Agent Response The agent had the following in response to the neighbours concerns. It appears to me, based on the shadow in their photos, this is very early in the morning and the shadowing from the tree was outlined on the drawing. Fifty percent of the front façade of the dwelling meets and exceeds the minimum requirement. About 30% is within 85cm of what is required. 10

11 There were additional letters of support received late this afternoon. I don t believe that moving the house back is a suitable planning response. There would be at least two second floor windows that would create overlook along the rear yards of this side of the street. I believe it is a better solution to push it forward. Motion to Approve Application CAV A/042/2018 A motion was made to approve application CAV A/042/2018 as applied for. Meets four tests under the Planning Act.

Call for Public Deputation The chair asked whether there was anyone in attendance either in support of or in opposition to application CAV A/048/2018. A show of hands indicated that there was none. Agent Overview The agent provided the following overview of the application: Would like to remove the second part of the condition recommended by planning staff pertaining to the revised driveway design being to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning Services because applicant would like to retain his options to remove the tree. His intent is to maintain the tree which is a private tree, but also wants to maintain a two car wide driveway. Willing to replant the required replacement trees to offset the canopy loss if he chooses to remove the tree. This has not been discussed with staff. Planning Comments Staff noted that this is a boundary tree and in the absence of an arborist s report the tree should be protected in accordance with our official plan policies to protect the canopy coverage that we currently experience. The driveway can provide two cars side by side in the driveway and still protect the tree. Staff recommend that the condition remains. However if the applicant is prepared to provide staff with an arborist s report assessing the merits of the tree in order to justify that the driveway width is appropriate the staff would agree to this as a revised condition. 16
