The subject lands are zoned RD2, Residential Detached Zone Two and RD2, Residential Detached Zone Two subject to Exception 9(1288) under By-law 1-88 as amended.

Proposal:

Lot Frontage: The minimum Lot Frontage requirement for the conveyed lands is 15 metres. The minimum Lot Frontage requirement for the retained lands is 15 metres. - The proposed lot frontage of 15 metres for the conveyed lands meets the

minimum lot frontage requirement. - The proposed lot frontage of 28.158 meters for the retained lands meets the

minimum lot frontage requirement. Lot Area: The minimum Lot Area requirement for the conveyed lands is 450 m². The minimum Lot Area requirement for the retained lands is 450 m². - The proposed lot area of 672.31 m² for the conveyed lands meets the

minimum lot area requirement. - The proposed lot area of 665.8 m² for the retained lands meets the minimum

lot area requirement.

Lot Depth: The minimum Lot Depth requirement for the conveyed lands is 30 metres. The minimum Lot Depth requirement for the retained lands is 30 metres. - The proposed lot depth of 44.82 metres for the conveyed lands meets the

minimum lot depth requirement. - The proposed lot depth of 35.182 meters for the retained lands meets the

minimum lot depth requirement. Staff Comments: Stop Work Orders and Orders to Comply: There are no outstanding Orders on file. Other Comments:

1) A Surveyors Certificate of Lot Areas, Frontages and Depths as per the definitions in Section 2.0 of By-law 1-88 a.a. is required in order to confirm compliance with the By-law requirements.

2) The zoning by-law states that no garage shall project into the front yard more than 1.0m beyond the most distant point of any wall of the dwelling facing the street at ground floor level and a maximum of 2.0m where there is a covered and unenclosed porch. It appears that the proposed design does not meet this requirement, but cannot be confirmed due to lack of floor plans with dimensions. A variance may be required.

3) Please note that due to the irregular shape of this lot, the rear yard (as defined by by-law 1-88a.a.) may not be able to accommodate future accessory structures, pool, etc. Accessory structures are not permitted in a side yard (as defined by by-law 1-88a.a.).

B020/14

Location:

Block 81 65M-4355 and Block 168 65M-4359 Ward 1, Vicinity of Major MacKenzie Drive and Weston Road

Proposal:

The Owner is requesting permission to create a new residential lot. The severed and retained lands comply with the minimum lot frontage, lot area, and lot depth requirements stipulated by By-law 1-88.

Official Plan:

The subject lands are designated “Low-Rise Residential“ by the new City of Vaughan Official Plan 2010 (VOP 2010), which was approved, in part, by the Ontario Municipal Board on February 3, 2014. The proposal conforms to the policies of the Official Plan.

Comments:

The Planning Department has no objection to the proposed severance. Both lots maintain the minimum requirements for lot frontage, lot area, and lot depth. The Applicant has demonstrated that both lots can support the development of a single family dwelling that maintains the required minimum setbacks in the RD2 Zone. The proposed severed property is consistent with the size and shape of surrounding properties. The retained property is irregularly shaped, however, several of the other existing properties at the end of Poetry Drive are also irregularly shaped due to the limits of development adjacent to the Humber River. The Planning Department is of the opinion that the proposal meets the intent of the Official Plan and the consent criteria stipulated in Section 51(24) of the Planning Act.

Recommendation:

The Planning Department supports Consent Application B020/14.

Condition(s):

None.

Block 81 65M-4355 Ward 3, Vicinity of Major MacKenzie Drive and Weston Road

Proposal:

The Owner is requesting permission for an accessory building or structure to be located in the east interior side yard, whereas By-law 1-88 requires an accessory building or structure to be located in the rear yard.

Official Plan:

The subject lands are designated “Low-Rise Residential“ by the new City of Vaughan Official Plan 2010 (VOP 2010), which was approved, in part, by the Ontario Municipal Board on February 3, 2014. The proposal conforms to the policies of the Official Plan.

Comments:

The Planning Department is of the opinion that this proposal is premature. The application does not refer to a particular proposed accessory structure or building, but rather seeks relief from the By-law to permit a future accessory structure in the interior side yard. The Applicant has not submitted any drawings or plans indicating the proposed setbacks, dimensions, heights, or more specific area of the future accessory building. Without this information, the Planning Department is unable to evaluate any potential negative impacts of an accessory structure. The Planning Department is of the opinion that the proposal is not minor in nature, does not meet the intent of the Zoning By-law, and is desirable for the appropriate development of the land.

Recommendation:

The Planning Department does not support Minor Variance Application A074/14.

Condition(s):

None.
