While service stations are not a permitted use within the Village Core Area designation, there is an existing gas station on the property that is considered a legal non-conforming use. The applicant is proposing to put a canopy structure over the general location of the existing gas pump island, which would be consistent with the legal non-conforming use criteria outlined in Section 9.2.8 of the Official Plan. Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned Commercial General (C1) in the Town s Zoning By-law 97-50, as amended. As noted, there is an existing gas station on the property, which is considered legal non-conforming. In order to facilitate a new gas bar canopy over the general location of the existing pump island, development relief is required from some performance standards in the Town s Zoning By-law. The requested relief is from Section 6.24(k) to permit a gas bar canopy a within 1.52 metres of the front lot line; whereas the by-law requires a setback of 10 metres. Comments In determining whether a variance is minor, the Committee must have regard not only to the measurement of the variance but also to the following considerations: (i) Whether the variance is minor in nature The requested relief from the performance standard to facilitate a canopy over the general area of the existing gas pump island, is considered minor in nature. (ii) Whether it is appropriate and desirable for the development of the lands The variance would not compromise the character of the subject lands and surrounding development. (iii) Whether it maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan The general intent and purpose of the Town s Official Plan is being maintained with the requested variance. (iv) Whether it maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law Given the size, configuration and location of this property, it is staff s opinion that the relief requested to facilitate the development on this property would maintain the intent of the Zoning By-law.

Don Sinclair Town Solicitor, Legal Services 905-478-3805 dsinclair@eastgwillimbury.ca June 20, 2014 Committee of Adjustment Town of East Gwillimbury Attention: Fernando Lamanna, Secretary-Treasurer Dear Mr. Lamanna: Re: Minor Variance Application A.09.14 submitted by Bhavani Enterprises Ltd. for the property known as 61 Main Street, Lot 49, Plan 403, Roll No. 550-761 We are in receipt of the notice dated June 5, 2014, and wish to advise the Committee of pertinent information pertaining to the property set out in the above application. The Town commenced excavation on November 11, 2008, within the road allowance in front of the Mount Albert Community Centre (53 Main Street) which is the property immediately to the West of 61 Main Street. The excavation was being carried out to facilitate a water connection to serve an outdoor skating rink. During the time of the project there became evidence of hydrocarbons in the pit and all work ceased. The Town carried out emergency measures in accordance with the Ministry of Environment to remediate the disturbed site and soil. In November 2010 the Town initiated a lawsuit against the property owner at the time, past property owners and major fuel suppliers of the property to protect its interest. This litigation matter has been progressing through the court system and is still an active file. The Town has carried out environmental testing which results which suggests the source of contamination streaming from 61 Main Street. Since the initiation of the law suit, the property has changed ownership and is currently owned by the applicant. The Town has served a Notice of Motion to the current property owner to add them as a party to the action and it is anticipated that this matter may be considered by the Courts in the next few months. The Technical Standard and Safety Authority has issued an Order against the property dated December 18, 2013 (see attached). This Order stipulates that You are hereby ordered to remove tank system from ground. and You are hereby ordered to provide TSSA with an environmental assessment report for removal of the underground tank system. This work was to be completed by May 1, 2014. The Town is not aware of the tanks being removed or the environmental testing being carried out to date. As you can understand this matter is very complex, has not been finalized and has been very time consuming. The litigation matter remains unresolved and the TSSA order remains outstanding.
