TO: Chair and Members Planning and Economic Development Committee FROM: Sam Soja Planner DATE: June 23, 2016 SUBJECT: Draft Approval Common Element Condominium Application C2016-4 (Rayville Developments (Legacy) Inc.) Town of Huntsville REPORT NO: PED-7-2016-3 ____________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION (Delegated Decision) THAT Common Element Condominium Description File No. C2016-4 (Rayville Developments (Legacy) Inc.), in the Town of Huntsville, BE APPROVED as detailed in Schedule “A” attached hereto. ORIGIN An application for the above noted common element condominium file was received on March 30, 2016 and accepted as a complete application on April 27, 2016. ANALYSIS Location and Description The subject property is located in the north end of the Urban Centre of the Town of Huntsville, in the vicinity of Hanes Road and Centre Street North and accessed by way of Legacy Lane which is a private road. The property is approximately 0.97 hectares (2.4 acres) in size and the lands are specifically described as Part of Block 23, Registered Plan 35M-694, Town of Huntsville. A location map is attached as Appendix “I”. Proposal This application proposes to create one common element block that would be legally tied to 23 freehold townhouse lots (i.e. Parcels of Tied Land (POTLs)) which are proposed to be created through the lifting of part lot control. This common element condominium description would contain a private road from which each townhome would gain access as well as green space Page 1 areas. The common element condominium description is outlined in bold on the draft plan attached as Appendix “II”. Site Characteristics and Surrounding Uses As a site plan has been approved by the Town of Huntsville for the property, the lands are currently undergoing extensive site alteration in order to prepare for construction of the proposed development. The property is surrounded by single detached residential uses to the south and west, the Chartwell Muskoka Traditions Retirement Residence and high density residential uses to the north, and commercial uses to the east. Supporting Documentation A functional servicing report consisting of detailed drawings was completed by Pinestone Engineering Ltd. dated November, 2015, and submitted in support of this application. For stormwater management, this document recommends the use of grassed swales in order to convey stormwater, the majority of which is to be directed to an existing stormwater management pond located on an adjacent property which was designed to receive stormwater from the subject lands. The report also provides details on how the property will be connected to municipal water and sewer services. Circulation and Public Meetings Two public meetings were held at the Town of Huntsville in 2014 related to the re-zoning of the lands in order to facilitate the proposed development. A site plan has also recently been approved by the Town which specifically reflects this overall development proposal. In response to the circulation of the Notice of Complete Application and Public Meeting for the common element condominium description, the District requires an agreement respecting municipal water and sewer services and the disposal of solid waste as a condition of draft approval. The Town of Huntsville has indicated that they have no concerns with the approval of the above noted application, as any outstanding matters, including the implementation of the stormwater management plan, have been addressed by the Town through site plan control. Bell Canada has also requested a blanket easement over the entire subject lands to provide service. A condition of approval has been added to require that the easement be granted prior to final approval. Given that no additional concerns related to the proposed common element condominium have been identified by agencies or members of the public through the zoning by-law amendment process or in response to the District’s notice, District staff are of the opinion that it would be appropriate to consider approval of the proposed common element condominium at the same Planning and Economic Development Committee meeting as the public meeting, provided no additional concerns are brought forward. Page 2 Planning Documents Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) applies to this application. Section 1.1.3 of the PPS promotes land use patterns within settlement areas that make efficient use of land, resources, infrastructure, and public services and support active transportation. In this regard, the development proposal involves the logical extension of an existing residential area within an urban centre, which would make efficient use of land and existing public services. With a Town owned trail reserve located immediately adjacent to the subject lands, the proposal would also support active transportation by locating a residential development within proximity to destinations in the urban centre that can be easily accessed by walking, cycling or other human- powered travel. As such, the proposal would be consistent with this and all other relevant policies contained within this document. District of Muskoka and Huntsville Official Plans The lands subject to the proposed condominium description are located within the “Urban Centre” designation of the Muskoka Official Plan and are designated “Residential-Multiple” within the “Huntsville Urban Settlement Area” in the Town of Huntsville Official Plan. Urban centres are envisioned to be the focus of growth, with development occurring on municipal water and sewer services. Section C.10 of the Muskoka Official Plan states that proper and adequate means of access
