REPORT
Planning Comments:
The subject property is located at 33 Second Avenue and is designated Low Rise Residential in the
Official Plan and zoned Residential Four (R-4) in Zoning By-law 85-1. The subject property is located in
close proximity to the intersection of Second Avenue and Kingsway Drive and is developed with a single
detached dwelling. The applicant is proposing to sever the existing property into two separate lots that
will have frontage onto Second Avenue. The existing dwelling is proposed to be removed, and a new
single detached dwelling is proposed for each lot. The existing property has a lot width of 20.0 metres,
a depth of 40.0 metres and a lot area of 800 square metres. The applicant is proposing to sever the lot
in half so that each proposed lot will have a width of 10.0 metres and a lot area of 400 square metres.
The proposed lot sizes comply with the zoning by-law.
The following application to sever 33 Second Avenue into two separate lots is a resubmission of a
previous Committee of Adjustment application that was approved on June 20, 2017 with conditions. As
per Section 53(41) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, as amended, if conditions for a consent
have been imposed and the applicant has not, within a period of one year after notice was given, fulfilled
the conditions, the application for consent shall be deemed to be refused. The conditions of the previous
application approved on June 20, 2017 were not completed by the one year deadline and as such, the
application was deemed refused. Therefore the applicant was required to file a new application to permit
the proposed consent. No changes to the original application have been made.
City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on July 27, 2018
33 Second Avenue
As in 2017, the subject application has been considered under the policies of the City's 2014 Official
Plan. Where policies are under appeal and there is a direct co -relation to policies of the 1994 Official
Plan, staff refer to the former policies. The Low Rise Residential designation supports a full range of low
density housing types including single detached dwellings. Policies also require that infill development
complement existing buildings and contribute to neighbourhood character. Planning Staff recommend
conditions requiring a site plan as well as building elevations to ensure that the proposed dwellings are
compatible with and sympathetic to the setbacks, building height, design, character, and streetscape of
the surrounding community. In reviewing the site plan and building elevations staff will have regard for
the direction and recommendations of the Residential Intensification in Established Neighbourhoods
Study, as approved by City Council.
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 severed
and retained lots comply with the regulations of the Residential Four (R-4) zone. The dimensions and
shapes of the proposed lots are appropriate and suitable for the proposed use of the lands and the lands
front on an established public street. Both parcels of land can be serviced with independent service
connections to municipal services. Improvements to the Montgomery -Freeport Sanitary Drainage Area
are underway and are anticipated to be completed by the end of 2018 at which time adequate services
will be available. 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.
Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that Consent Application B2018-055 requesting
permission to sever the existing property into two lots be approved 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 will be required for severed
lot — a building permit will be required for this work. Separate building permit(s) will also be required for the
demolition of all existing buildings, as well as construction of all new buildings.
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.
• This property is located in the Montgomery -Freeport Sanitary Drainage Area. There is currently
a development freeze in this area until the final phase of the Freeport Sanitary Pumping Station
is complete. Engineering will not approve any Off -Site Works applications for this site until the
pumping station works are complete. Works are anticipated to be completed by the end of 2018.
• 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, 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 having 10.0 lineal metres frontage,
in the amount $4,600.00 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 parcel.
Heritage Comments:
No cultural heritage issues or concerns
Environmental Planning Comments:
Conditions applied at this time should be consistent with those applied to the previous application.

severed parcel in the amount of $4,600.00. Park Dedication is calculated at the residential rate of
