That approval has since lapsed, and the Owner has reapplied for the same severance application. Staff Report ITCHIE I�T� R Community Services Department www kitchenerca Report: The application is proposing to sever the existing property into two separate lots that will have frontage onto Wellington Street North and a rear lane. A previously existing single detached dwelling has been demolished and the property is currently vacant. A new duplex is proposed for each new lot. The existing property has a lot width of 20.117 metres (66 feet). The application proposes to sever the lot roughly in half. The retained lands are proposed to have a lot width of 10.058 metres, a lot depth of 48.217 metres, and a lot area of 492.8 square metres. The severed lot is proposed to have a lot width of 10.059 metres, a lot depth of 48.217 metres and a lot area of 492.9 square metres. Existing Streetscape — 239 Wellington Street North Planning Comments: The subject property is designated as Low Rise Residential in the City's Official Plan and zoned as Residential Five (R-5) in the Zoning By-law. 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 is of the opinion that the proposed severance conforms to the City's Official Plan and will allow for orderly development that is appropriate. The subject application has been considered under the policies of the City's new 2014 Official Plan. Low Rise Residential and Housing objectives and policies that are in effect were considered for this application. The Official Plan supports an appropriate range, variety and mix of housing types and styles, densities, tenure and affordability to satisfy the varying housing needs of our community through all stages of life. The City favours a land use pattern which mixes and disperses a full range of housing types and styles both across the city as a whole and within neighbourhoods. The severed and retained lots are proposed to each be developed with a duplex dwelling, a permitted residential use. The property is located within the boundary of two different Council approved studies, including the Residential Intensification in Established Neighbourhoods Study (RIENS) and the Kitchener Cultural Staff Report ITCHEI�T> R Community Services Department wwwkitchenerca Heritage Landscape Study (CHLS). While the RIENS study is not yet implemented with specific Official Plan polices and zoning regulations, the recommendations of the study provide high level direction for new development within existing neighbourhoods. Planning Staff is recommending, as a condition of approval, that a site drawing and building elevation plans be submitted and be approved by the City's Director of Planning, in consultation with Heritage Planning and Urban Design staff, to ensure that the final design of the proposed duplexes are in keeping with the design and character of the surrounding community. These drawings must show the dwelling's proposed height, mass, setbacks, building materials, architectural style and garage/driveway. The proposed building should respect these existing neighbourhood characteristics. A similar condition was required for the previous application (B2017-006), and the elevation plans shown below were provided. Previously Proposed Duplex Dwellings — 239 & 241 Wellington Street North The severed and retained lots comply with the regulations of the Residential Five (R-5) zone and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that Consent Application B2018-047 requesting to sever the existing property into two lots, subject to the 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 Staff Report ITCHEI�T> R Community Services Department wwwkitchenerca will be required for severed lot — a building permit will be required for this work. Separate building permit(s) will also be required for construction of new building. Transportation Comments: Transportation Services has no concerns with the proposed application 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. If the buildings have basements and a sump pump is required, a storm outlet will be required also. The owner is required to make satisfactory financial arrangements with the Engineering Division for the installation of new services that may be required to service this property, all prior to final severance approval. Our records indicate municipal water, storm and sanitary services are currently available to service this property. Each severed lot will require a sanitary, a storm (for new foundations only) and a water service. Any further enquiries in this regard should be directed to Natasha Prepas-Strobeck (519-741-2200 ext. 7136). Any new driveways are to be built to City of Kitchener standards. All work is at the owner's expense and all work needs 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 land park dedication is required on the severed parcel only, in the amount $4,627.14 as a new development lot will be created as result of the proposed severance. Parkland dedication is calculated at 5% of the per metre lineal frontage land value for the severed portion. The Applicant is advised that there are City owned trees within the Wellington Street frontage of the severed and retained lots, which are to be protected from construction related damage and removal in accordance with By-law Chapter 690, Articles 3 and 4. Removal of trees will require compensation to the City. Heritage Comments: The Kitchener Cultural Heritage Landscape Study (CHLS) dated December 2014 and prepared by the Landplan Collaborative Ltd. was approved by Council in 2015. The CHLS serves to establish an Staff Report ITCHE I�T� R Community Services Department www kitchenerca inventory. The CHLS was the first step of a phased cultural heritage landscape (CHL) conservation process. The owner of the property municipally addressed 239 Wellington Street is advised that the property is within the Mt Hope/Breithaupt Gildner & Gruhn Neighbourhood CHL. The owner and the public will be consulted as the City considers listing CHLs on the Municipal Heritage Register, identifying CHLs in the Official Plan, and preparing action plans for each CHL with specific conservation options. Environmental Planning Comments: Clarity is required to understand which trees are remaining or possibility in shared ownership. The City's standard tree protection condition is required as a condition of approval, for both the severed and retained lands. A Tree Preservation/Enhancement Plan is required for the severed and retained lands in accordance with the City's Tree Management Policy, which must be submitted and approved before a building permit will be issued.
