Summarized Recommendation: Defer to April 16, 2019 Meeting REPORT Planning Comments: The subject property is located near the terminus of Wentworth Avenue, in the Mill Courtland Woodside Park planning community. The property contains a duplex dwelling that was originally constructed as a single detached dwelling in approximately 1932. The property possesses a large, undeveloped southeasterly side yard. The surrounding neighbourhood is composed of mainly low density residential land uses, although there is a nearby 5 -storey apartment building. The lands immediately to the rear of the subject property are owned by the City and are used as a lawn bowling club. The subject property is *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. designated Low Rise Conservation in the Mill Courtland Woodside Park Secondary Plan and is zoned Residential Five (R-5) in the Zoning By-law. Planning staff visited the site on January 30, 2019. The applicant is requesting consent to create a lot for a new duplex by severing the large, undeveloped southeasterly side yard. The retained lands would contain the existing duplex. Consent is also requested, for each resultant lot, to create shared driveway easements to allow both the existing and new duplexes to use a single driveway. Prior to submission, Planning staff identified that a minor variance application for each resultant lot would be required for a deficient side yard setback on the driveway side, and possibly for a deficient front yard setback related to the front porch of the existing duplex (retained lot only). Unfortunately, minor variance applications did not accompany the consent applications submission and it was confirmed through the consent applications review that minor variance applications would indeed be required to address the abovementioned zoning compliance issues. Planning staff reached out to the applicant on February 6, 2019 and re -confirmed above concerns and suggested that the applicant could request deferral in order to prepare and submit the above referenced minor variance applications. The applicant subsequently submitted the attached letter requesting deferral of the subject applications to the April 16, 2019 Committee meeting, to allow the submission of associated minor variance applications. On this basis, Planning staff recommends that all subject applications be deferred to the April 16, 2019 Committee of Adjustment meeting. RECOMMENDATION That Consent Applications B2019-005 and B2019-006, requesting consent to create a new lot and a shared driveway easements, be deferred to the April 16, 2019 Committee of Adjustment meeting.
