REGULAR COUNCIL MINUTES

Monday, November 21, 2016

There were none.

Council held a public meeting respecting an application to amend the zoning by-law to permit certain accessory uses at 368 Martindale Road. Jim Riddell, Director of Planning and Building Services, provided an overview of the proposal.

The Mayor asked if anyone in attendance wished to speak in opposition to the proposal. Marco Marrone came forward and provided the following comments and concerns and had some photos to illustrate some of these issues:

•         speaking on behalf of himself, who lives adjacent to the subject property on the north side, and on behalf of Jamie Katzman, who lives adjacent to the subject property on the south side

•         requested Council defer the decision to give him time to obtain independent planning legal advice

•         feels proposal has many complexities to it

•         this proposal has opportunity for many zoning violations which would make a material impact on the adjacent properties

•         proposal is too broad, providing applicant with a choice of how large a home-based business and detached accessory building he would like

•         issue with size and scale of proposal

•         size of building in relation to other building

•         increased vehicle activity

•         not enough parking to accommodate all clients

•         who will ensure adherence to by-laws

•         barn currently has property standards infractions

•         was not consulted regarding the landscape buffer

•         height of buffer

•         who will pay to maintain his side

•         will have a negative impact on neighbouring properties

The Mayor asked if anyone in attendance wished to speak in support of the proposals. No one came forward to speak.

The Mayor asked if the owner or agent wished to speak. The Agent, Cheryl Selig, Senior Planner for T. Johns Consulting Group, came forward and provided the following comments:

•         concur with the staff recommendation, analysis and restrictions placed on the proposal

•         large lot makes scale compatible

•         existing barn forms part of the character of the neighbourhood

•         good land use planning proposal

•         allowing these uses allows for adaptive re-use of an existing structure that is part of the history and character of the community

•         allowing an accessory dwelling unit in the barn, allows for another housing option in the community

•         lot size in R1 zone is generally 490 square metres; this lot is approximately 2,320 square metres

•         allowing use of barn as accessory dwelling unit and/or home occupation to a maximum of 200 square metres is a good, efficient use of existing accessory structure on the property and is in keeping with the residential character of the neighbourhood

She was available to answer Council's questions.

The Mayor asked the Director of Planning and Building Services if he had any summary comments. Mr. Riddell provided the following comments and answered Council's questions:

•         Mr. Marrone is asking for a deferral to review the planning report

•         the real issue from the neighbourhood appears to be the size and scale and how it impacts the surrounding uses

•         disagreement on whether the proposed size will be minimal or impact the area

•         it was pointed out the actual lot size is five times the average in an R1 zone and that is actually the requested size of the increase of the uses for the accessory home-based business

•         to clarify the parking concerns, two spaces are required on this site for the existing and accessory dwellings; that would allow for an additional three spaces to be applied to any home-based business

City Council reconvened.

Moved By:  Councillor Kushner

Seconded By:  Councillor Phillips

That Council adjourn consideration of this application until December 19, 2016, to allow additional time for Mr. Marrone to consult with a professional planner; and

That the public meeting remain open until December 19, 2016, in the event additional public input is warranted.

Motion to Adjourn Carried

Persons wishing to receive formal notice of Council's decision following their consideration at the meeting of December 19, 2016, should submit a written request to the Office of the City Clerk.  The Mayor continued with the next proposal.

Council held a public meeting respecting two applications to amend the zoning by-law and for draft plan of condominium (vacant land) approval of a private road development consisting of 13 detached dwellings at 37 Warkdale Drive. Judy Pihach, Manager of Planning Services, provided an overview of the proposals.

The Mayor asked if anyone in attendance wished to speak in opposition to the proposals. Roy Angle and Carolyn Dumanski came forward and provided the following comments and concerns:

•         wanted to know what type of housing was being constructed

•         current student rental properties causing property standards issues; if more rental properties, more property standards issues

•         will cause more traffic in the area

•         will add more parked cars to an area that already has parking issues from students in rental houses and with parents dropping off / picking up children from the neighbouring school

•         drainage of surface water and into sewers

•         opposed to development if for student housing

The Mayor asked if anyone in attendance wished to speak in support of the proposals. No one came forward to speak.

The Mayor asked if the owner or agent wished to speak. The Agent, Carmela Agro, Upper Canada Consultants, came forward and provided details of the proposal and made the following comments:

•         although applications are for zoning amendment and draft plan of condominium approval, tonight only asking for rezoning

•         will address residents' concerns through the site plan process

•         landscape buffer next to residents

•         will be a two metre buffer between the zones where the rear property line starts

•         will keep conservation lands in natural state

Ms. Agro was available to answer Council's questions.

The Mayor asked the Manager of Planning Services if she had any summary comments. She provided the following comments:

•         gave an update regarding the stormwater management issue

•         the stormwater for this project will go out to the Hwy 406 corridor; it will not go into the sewer that exists today or an upgraded sewer

•         stormwater management plans are submitted and reviewed by the City, MTO, Conservation Authority, and likely, the Region

•         the City ensures the developer builds the stormwater management system in accordance with the approved plans

•         regarding property standards and parking, one cannot zone property for certain people (i.e. students); there are other tools to regulate these types of issues

•         staff was reluctant to approve developments that had limited emergency access; however, sprinkler systems for units are now more affordable which makes one way in / one way out access less of an issue

•         to address the issue of a noise barrier and fencing along Hwy 406, as part of the site plan process, an acoustical engineer will be required for this purpose

•         the developer has no obligation to put up barriers beyond this site

The Director of Planning and Building Services and the Manager of Planning Services answered Council's questions.

City Council reconvened.
