stated after they had begun work on the property at the end of 2018, they were advised by City
COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES
FEBRUARY 19. 2019 -29- CITY OF KITCHENER
��1•T511�r•Ti1�t:7il•���iy�ail�biNZ.7iiiC
staff that a minor variance application was required to legalize the parking as proposed on the
subject property. He indicated he had reviewed the staff report and was in support of the
amendment regarding the removal of a variance related to the size of the parking space, as it
was deemed redundant. In response to questions, Mr. Gibson confirmed there is a Right -of -Way
(ROW) on his property in favour of the property municipally addressed as 70 Mt. Hope Street.
He stated he has no intentions of restricting the use of that ROW.
Mr. M. Pereira stated he is the property owner of 70 Mt. Hope Street, noting while he was generally
in support of the subject application, he wished clarification of the property owner's intentions
regarding the type of materials proposed for the pathway and whether they would be durable
enough to withstand vehicle access. He indicated the requirement of the pathway was to gain
access to his garage for parking in the rear yard of his dwelling.
The Chair suggested, and it was agreed, that Condition 1 of the staff recommendation be amended
to include wording to clarify that the decorative path should consist of materials that would support
vehicle traffic.
Mr. D. Seller questioned whether Condition 2 of the staff recommendation related to the curb cut
could also be amended to address the reinstatement of the curb where required. The Committee
was in agreement with the request to amend Condition 2 to require the reinstatement of the curb
for the portion of the property that is intended to be landscaped to the satisfaction of the Director of
Transportation Services
Mr. J. Redpath was in attendance in opposition of the subject application. He expressed concerns
related to the loss of on -street permit parking. He noted the City provides parking passes to the
residents for on -street parking, indicating approval of the subject application will decrease the on -
street parking by two spaces. He stated in his opinion, the residents purchased their properties with
an understanding of the available number of spaces. He indicated the applicant should only be
permitted one parking space at the proposed location, stating if only one space was permitted, the
loss of on -street parking would only be one space.
In response to questions, Mr. S. Ryder advised the City issues on -street parking permits to area
residents to allow parking on the streets between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., noting any parking
outside of those hours would revert to standard on -street parking regulations. He indicated the
permits do not permit overnight parking as the passes are only intended for guests of the dwellings,
not property owners. Mr. Ryder further advised the application was reviewed and the Transportation
comments outlined within the staff report are only related to the curb cuts.
Mr. Gibson indicated in response to the concerns raised by the neighbouring property owner, that
approval of the subject application would still permit one on -street parking space. Mr. Ryder
acknowledged the comments provided by Mr. Gibson, stating he was in agreement that there would
still be sufficient space for one on -street parking space in front of 66 Mt. Hope Street.
Questions were raised regarding the applicants' ability to have two off-street parking spaces within
the proposed driveway. Ms. J. von Westerholt advised the subject application is intended to legalize
one off-street parking space located within 6m of the street line. She stated the Zoning By-law
permits driveways to have a width of 5.2m. She indicated if the applicant is able to fit a second car
in the driveway, that space is incidental and would not need to be defined in the Committee's
decision and would not be considered illegal from a By-law enforcement perspective. She stated
similar to other single detached dwellings, the By-law only requires one legal off-street parking
space; any additional parking that can be achieved within the driveway would be incidental to that
space.
In response to concerns related to a mature tree on the subject property, Ms. von Westerholt stated
she was advised by the City's forestry division that any tree located on private property that
straddles a property line would be a civil matter between property owners. In response to questions,
Mr. Gibson advised no additional excavation is being proposed on the subject property that may
adversely impact the health of the tree. He noted the subject property had been excavated twice in
close proximity to the tree prior to his family purchasing the home, and the health of the tree was
not impacted in those instances.
