Minor Variance Report

Date: February 26, 2021 Application No. A-01-21 Applicant: Fraser Sutherland Agent: Kevin Grubb, Kawartha Lakes Construction

Property Description: Con. 7, Lot 34, Block B 1020 Stony Lake- Island 35, Dummer Ward, Roll No. 020-005-74100

Purpose of Application: The property owner would like to construct a screen porch addition to join the existing bunky into the existing cottage with an open deck along the north side of the dwelling.

To permit the addition and deck, variances are required to acknowledge the existing dwelling as a legal non-conforming structure, a lateral expansion to increase the dwelling size from 25% (31’) to 57% (61’), a variance of 32% and a decrease in the water yard setback from 30m (98.4’) to 13.5m (44.3’), a variance of 16.5m.

Comments Received:

Curve Lake First Nations: So long as there are no ground disturbing activities, there is no archaeological concern. Pier construction and filling activities where dirt is being brought in from other areas and not being scraped from the site are not concerns for us at this current juncture. I do not want to state it will never be a concern, however our current primary goal is protection of the sites. If the ground is not being disturbed, the potential sites are not either.

Staff Comments:

The subject property is zoned Island Residential (IR) Zone and residential uses are permitted within this zone. In this case, the applicant is seeking relief from Section 8.2.1 (f) – Minimum water yard and Section 3.28.1 (c) – shall not exceed 25 percent of the lateral dimension expansion of the existing building or structure.

The applicants state the reason for the application for minor variance is as follows: “To acknowledge a legal non-conforming single dwelling unit and to allow for an addition to join the existing cottage and bunky.”

(over) Page 4 of 46

This application is consistent with the Official Plan, as the Plan allows for infilling and minor expansion to existing buildings so long as the use does not change and there no further encroachment.

The notice was circulated to the Management Team and no comments were received at the time of writing of this report.

Photos of the property are attached to this report as the property cannot be visited due to the weather.

Conformity to PPS: The application appears to be consistent with the PPS. The two proposed additions are both infill project and will not be reducing any of the existing setbacks. There is no concerns with flooding in this area and additional environmental studies are not required.

Application of Four Tests: The Committee should state in the decision how the application meets/or does not meet the 4 tests:

1) The application is (or is not) minor in nature.

2) The application is (or is not) desirable and appropriate to the development of this land.

3) The application meets (or does not meet) the general intent of the Official Plan.

4) The application meets (or does not meet) the general intent of the Zoning By-law.

Summary: The Committee will need to decide if the request is considered minor, that it is desirable and appropriate development of this parcel, and that the use intended meets the general intent of the Official Plan and Zoning by-law.

Page 5 of 46

b) The Committee has not received any written or oral submissions from the public regarding minor variance application File A-01-21 and thus have made its decision on the basis of the application, and/or submissions from Curve Lake First Nation and the staff report.

Conditions if Approved: - The variance would be for the life of the structures only (definition) - Obtaining any necessary permits from ORCA, Douro-Dummer Building Department, Trent Severn Waterway and any other required ministry/agency - That proper Building Plans be submitted with the building permit application based on the design included on the site plan prepared by J. B. Fleguel Surveyors, Ontario Land Surveyor, dated January 20, 2021 attached to this Decision as Schedule ‘A’ and submitted with the minor variance application. - - That verification from an Ontario Land Surveyor be provided to the Township’s Chief Building Official after the structure(s) are framed to confirm that all applicable setback requirements have been met and to ensure compliance with any relief granted by this decision of the Committee. - That if any archaeological artifacts are found during construction, that all development shall be halted immediately and the proper agency be contacted.
