DATE OF REPORT: December 6, 2017
REPORT:
Planning Comments:
The subject property is located on the west side of Old Chicopee Trail between Fairway
Road North and Daimler Drive, in the Centreville Chicopee Planning Community. The
property contains a single detached dwelling constructed in approximately 1960 as well
as a 2 -car detached garage. The property is very wide (65.6 metres) compared with
other properties along this section of the street. The surrounding neighbourhood
contains mainly single detached dwellings.
Architectural styles of dwellings along this immediate stretch of Old Chicopee Trail vary
widely. Lot areas in the immediate neighbourhood also vary widely, between 600
square metres and 2,313 square metres. The subject property has the largest lot area
in the neighbourhood.
The subject lot possesses 65.57 metres of frontage on Old Chicopee Trail, a depth
ranging between 42.76 metres and 43.69 metres, and an area of 2,753.89 square
metres. The property is designated Low Rise Residential in the 2014 Official Plan and
zoned Residential Three (R-3). Planning staff visited the property on November 16,
2017.
The owner is requesting consent to create a new lot with approximately 21.95 metres of
frontage on Old Chicopee Trail, a depth ranging between 43.37 metres and 43.69
metres, and an area of 928.84 square metres.
The retained lot would possess 43.82 metres of frontage on Old Chicopee Trail, a depth
ranging between 42.76 metres and 43.37 metres, and an area of 1,825.05 square
metres. The purpose of the application is to create lot for a single detached dwelling.
The retained lot would contain the existing single detached dwelling.
With respect to the criteria for the subdivision of land listed in Section 51 (24) of the
Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, Planning staff offers the following comments.
Planning staff is of the opinion that that proposed severance conforms to the 1994 and
2014 Official Plans. The severed and retained lots are suitable for the proposed uses.
Both lots would possess frontage on established public streets that provide adequate
municipal water, sewage, and storm water services. Both severed and retained lots
would comply with the Zoning By-law in every respect (subject to fulfillment of the above
noted conditions). In addition, the dimensions and shapes of the parcels are
appropriate.
In order to ensure orderly development and conformity with City policies, staff
recommends some site-specific conditions, such as: that a portion of the driveway
serving the retained lands be relocated so it is entirely on the retained lands, that the
detached garage on the retained lands be demolished, that the driveway on the severed
lands be removed or modified to comply with the Zoning By-law, and that a Tree
Management Plan be prepared and implemented.
Based on the foregoing, planning staff recommends that the application be approved
subject to conditions outlined in the Recommendation section of this report.
Building Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed consent. Region of Waterloo and
Area Municipalities' Design Guidelines and Supplemental Specifications for Municipal
Services (DGSSMS) allows only one service per lot. Should a severance be approved,
additional services will be required for each individual lot — a building permit will be
required for this work. Separate building permit(s) will also be required for the demolition
of existing detached garage, as well as construction of new unit. Please contact the
Building Division @ 519-741-2433 with permit requirements and any questions.
Transportation Comments:
The official plan notes a road widening along Old Chicopee Trail. A reference plan be
submitted noting the conveyance of lands to the city for approximately 0.6 metres along
the frontage of the severed portion of lands. Also, a Phase 1 and Phase 2
Environmental Assessment be submitted to the City's Engineering Department for the
severed portion.
Engineering Comments:
• Severance of any blocks within the subject lands will require separate, individual
service connections for sanitary, storm, and water, in accordance with City
policies.
• The owner is required to make satisfactory financial arrangements with the
Engineering Division for the installation of new ones that may be required to
service this property, all prior to severance approval. Our records indicate
sanitary, storm and water municipal services are currently available to service
this property. Any further enquiries in this regard should be directed to Jason
Brute (519-741-2200 ext. 7419).
• Any new driveways are to be built to City of Kitchener standards. All works are at
the owner's expense and all work shall to be completed prior to occupancy of the
building.
• A servicing plan showing outlets to the municipal servicing system and proposed
easements will be required to the satisfaction of the Engineering Division prior to
severance approval.
• As per the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) S. 3150 the Development
and Reconstruction As -Recorded Tracking Form is required to be filled out and
submitted along with a digital submission of all AutoCAD drawings required for
the site (Grading, Servicing etc.) with the corresponding correct layer names and
numbering system to the satisfaction of the Engineering Division prior to
severance approval.
• The owner must ensure that the basement elevation of the building can be
drained by gravity to the street sewers. If this is not the case, then the owner
would have to pump the sewage via a pump and forcemain to the property line
and have a gravity sewer from the property line to the street.
Operations Comments:
A cash -in -lieu of park land dedication will be required on the severed parcel as a new
development lot will be created. The cash -in -lieu dedication required is $10,097.00.
Park Dedication is calculated at 5% of the new development lot only, with a land
valuation calculated by the lineal frontage (21.950m) at a land value of $9,200 per
frontage metre.
Environmental Planning Comments:
The standard condition will be required for the owner to enter into an agreement
registered on title of both the severed and retained lands requiring a Tree Preservation /
Enhancement Plan be submitted and approved before a building permit will be issued.
Heritage Planning Comments:
Heritage Planning staff has no cultural heritage issues or concerns.
