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.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Application B2018-047 proposing to sever a lot with a width of 10.059 metres, a depth of
48.217 metres, and a lot area of 492.9 square metres, be approved subject to the following
