DoonwoodsCrescent(Photo -June 21, 2018) REPORT Planning Comments: The subject land is located in an undeveloped stage of the Hallman Groh subdivision 30T-07203 (Block 4, Stage 2). It is planned to be developed with a single detached dwellings. The subject portion of the lands is designated Low Rise Residential and zoned Residential Three Zone (R-3)with Special Regulation 553R which requires a minimum lot width of 15.0 metres. The owner is proposing a minor variance to Special Regulation Provision 553R in order toreduce to the required lot width from 15.0 metres to 12.2 metres to accommodate the proposed lotting pattern as shown on the lotting plan submitted in support of the application and in the image below. In considering the four tests for minor variances as outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990 Chap. P. 13, as amended, Planning staff offer the following comments. The intent of the Low Rise Residential Designation of the Official Plan is to accommodate for a full range of low rise housingat a low intensity of use. The proposed variance continues to permit the future creation of lots for single detached dwellings as contemplated in the draft approved Plan of Subdivision. Based on the foregoing, staff are of the opinion that the general intent of the Official Plan is maintained. The intent of Special RegulationProvision 553R was to provide for wider lots at the edge of this subdivision, where they share a property line with estate residential lots to the south. Due to the curve in Doonwoods Crescent each of the proposed lots is pie-shaped:narrower at the streetand wider to the rear. However, lot width is measured at the street, resulting in the technical lot width being less than the minimum requirement. In all cases the minimum lot width measured at the rear yard is 16 metres (52.5 feet) which is in excessof the lot widthrequired by the Special Regulation. As such, the interface with the lots to the rear provides for lotswhich exceed the minimum standards and staff isof the opinion that the general intent of the by-law is maintained. The subject lands will continue to be developed with single detached dwellings on larger than average lots. It is noted that each of the affected lots is encumbered by a 12 metre deepservicing easement across the rear yard. This provides for extra lot depth, and ensures that all buildings and dwellings will be setback well beyond the standard 7.5 metres rear yard setback. The plan of subdivision was originally approved with lotless blocks and this stage was expected to achieve a range of 35 –62 units. The proposed lotting pattern provides for 54 lots which is well within the expected range. Staff isof the opinion that the proposed variance is minor and appropriate for the development and use of the lands. Based on the foregoing, staff recommendsthat the proposed minor variance be approved. Building Comments: The Building Division has no concerns with the subject application. Transportation Services Comments: Transportation Services have no concerns with the subjectapplication. Engineering Comments: Engineering hasno concerns with the subjectapplication. RECOMMENDATION That application A2018-063requesting permission for future residential lots located on lands shown as “Area 1” on the plan submitted with the application, and which are currently zoned R- 3 with a Special Regulation Provision 553R, to have minimum lot widths of 12.2m rather than the required 15m, be approved.
