REPORT
Planning Comments:
The subject land is located at 304 Park Street and is a through lot which has frontage on both Park
Street and Gruhn Street. The applicant is proposing to sever the property in order to create a new lot
for a single detached dwelling having frontage on Gruhn Street, while retaining the existing dwelling on
Park Street. The subject lands are located in the KW Hospital Secondary Plan and are designated Low
Rise Conservation and zoned Residential Five Zone (R-5), with Special Use Provision 129U.
Policies of this designation speak to the preservation of the existing low rise, low density residential
character of the neighbourhood. Preservation of the built scale of development is encouraged through
the retention of the existing housing stock, and the creation of new housing through redevelopment at a
scale and intensity no greater than existing. The existing house will be preserved on the lands to be
retained and will not appear any different from the Park Street frontage. The new lot provides for the
one new single detached dwelling, on a lot which complies with by-law requirements. The proposed lot
width of 12.8 metres at the Gruhn Street frontage exceeds the minimum by-law requirements and is
similar to or greater than the width of existing lots along the street.
Policies of the 2014 Official Plan also require that infill development complement existing buildings and
contribute to neighbourhood character. The applicant has provided the proposed building plan for the
new single detached dwelling, and staff confirms that the building design and size of the new lot comply
with all zoning by-law requirements. The proposed dwelling's setback of 4.5 metres will comply with the
by-law and is in keeping with the setback of existing houses along this section of Gruhn Street. The
proposed elevations provide for a 2 storey house with a peaked roof, which is similar to the scale of
other dwellings along this section of Gruhn Street and will also comply with by-law requirements. Staff
is of the opinion that the house design provided in support of the application is compatible with the
established neighbourhood and staff recommends that as a condition of approval, the Owner be
required to enter into a modified subdivision agreement, requiring that building elevations be consistent
with those submitted in support of the application.
Staff also noted that to facilitate the consent the detached garage is proposed to be demolished. This
requirement is included as a condition of the consent, and works must be completed before the
severance is final as the proposed property line would divide the existing structure. Required parking
will continue to be provided to the rear of the existing dwelling, and will be wholly contained on the
lands to be retained.
Minor variances have been requested for the retained lands to: legalize the existing side yard setback
of 2.4 metres, rather than 3.0 metres on the side with the driveway; to legalize the existing width of the
driveway of 2.4 metres, rather than 2.6 metres; and to permit a rear yard setback of 4.955 metres rather
than 7.5 metres. These variances are further discussed below.
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 compatible with the existing
community. The dimensions and shape of both the severed and retained lands conform to the zoning
regulations (subject to approval of the associated minor variances) and are appropriate and suitable for
the existing dwelling and the future development of the severed lot. The lands front on established
public streets, and both parcels of land can be serviced with independent and adequate service
connections to municipal services. Staff is further of the opinion that the proposal is consistent with the
Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
Proposed Minor Variances:
The applicant has requested two minor variances for the lands to be retained. Subsequent to the
application being received, a third variance was identified to permit an existing driveway to have a width
of 2.4 metres rather than 2.6 metres. The additional variance was captured in the public notice,
however was not part of the original application. 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 subject lands are designated Low Rise Conservation in the KW Hospital Secondary Plan. The
intent of this designation is to retain the existing low rise, low density residential character of the
neighbourhood. Preservation of the built scale of development is encouraged through the retention of
the existing housing stock, and the creation of new housing through redevelopment at a scale and
intensity no greater than existing. The proposed variances will facilitate the creation of a new lot which
complies with the policies of this designation. The existing house will be preserved on the lands to be
retained and will not appear any different from the Park Street frontage. Based on the foregoing staff
are of the opinion that the general intent of the Official Plan is maintained.
Variances 1 & 2: Reduction of side yard setback from 3.Om to 2.4 m where a driveway leads to a
required parking space, and reduction of driveway width from 2.6 to 2.4 metres.
The general intent of the zoning by-law is to ensure sufficient space for a driveway to lead from the
street to a required parking space and to accommodate the width of a vehicle. The intent of requiring a
3.0 metre wide driveway where is located adjacent to a house is to ensure sufficient space for drivers
and passengers to open doors and exit a vehicle if they are parked in the driveway without being
impeded by the house or encroaching on neighbouring lands. Similarly, the intent of a 2.6 metre wide
driveway width is to ensure a vehicle can manoeuver on the driveway. In this case, the width of the
driveway is existing and is not proposed to change as a result of the consent. The required parking
space at the end of the driveway (in the rear yard) will exceed minimum parking space size
requirements allowing for doors to open fully. In addition, staff observe that the current occupants
accommodate mid-sized vehicles on the driveway. Transportation Services staff is satisfied that the
existing situation is functional and appropriate. Based on the foregoing, staff is of the opinion that the
general intent of the by-law is maintained.
Photo 3 — driveway of existing dwelling at 304 Park Street
Staff is of the opinion that the proposed variances are minor and appropriate for the development and
use of the lands. Variances #1 and #2 legalize the existing driveway width and side yard setback,
which are both currently legal non -conforming, however upon severance they lose this status as they
are not on the original lot. Staff is of the opinion that the driveway is currently functional and the
existing situation is not proposed to change as a resit of the consent.
Variance 3: reduction to rear yard setback from 7.5 metres for 4.995 metres.
The general intent of the 7.5 metre rear yard setback is to provide appropriate separation between
dwellings adequate private outdoor amenity space. The rear yard of the subject dwelling contains a
recently built deck. This deck appears smaller than the one captured by aerial imagery and allows for a
rear yard grassed area. Given that the owner is satisfied with the amount of private outdoor amenity
space, and any new owner of the lands to be severed will be aware of the reduced rear yard setback on
the retained lands, staff is satisfied that the proposed variances maintains the general intent of the
zoning by-law. Staff is further of the opinion that the reduction to the rear yard setback is minor and
appropriate for the development and use of the lands.
Based on the foregoing, staff recommends that Minor Variance Application A2018-064 be approved.
Environmental Planning Comments:
A Tree Preservation/Enhancement Plan is required for the severed and retained lands in accordance
with the City's Tree Management Policy.
Building Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed applications provided:
1) A qualified designer is retained to complete a building code assessment as it relates to the new
proposed property line and any of the building adjacent to this new property line shall addresses such
items as: spatial separation of existing buildings' wall face to the satisfaction of the Chief Building
Official; and closing in of openings may be required, pending spatial separation calculation results.
2) A building permit shall be obtained for any remedial work/ upgrades required by the building code
assessment.
Transportation Services Comments:
Transportation Services has no concerns with the subject applications.
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
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 $5,888.92
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 is a City owned tree within the Gruhn Street frontage of the severed
lot, which is to be protected from construction related damage and removal in accordance with By-law
Chapter 690, Articles 3 and 4. Removal of the City owned tree would require compensation to the City.
