REPORT
The subject property is designated as Low Rise Residential in the Official Plan and zoned
Residential Four Zone (R-4) in the Zoning By-law. The subject property at 500 Karn Street is
currently developed with a single detached dwelling. The Applicant intends to demolish the
existing building and is requesting consent to sever the subject property into two lots. The
existing development of the neighbourhood consists of a mix of single detached dwellings,
semi-detached dwellings and multiple dwellings. Lot sizes vary in width, depth, and area.
The applicant is requesting consent to sever the subject property into two lots. The severed lot
would have a frontage of 10.211 metres, depth of 41.6 metres, and an area of 439.5 square
metres to accommodate a new single detached dwelling, while the retained lot would have a
frontage of 10.211 metres, a depth of 42.2 metres, and an area of 439.3 square metres to
accommodate a new single detached dwelling.
City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on February 22, 2019.

Planning Comments:
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, both the severed and retained parcels are in conformity with the
City's Official Plan and Zoning By-law 85-1.
Planning staff is of the opinion that the proposal conforms with the regulations of the Residential
Four Zone (R-4). The proposed severance conforms to the City's Official Plan and the
configuration of the proposed lots can be considered appropriate for the use of the lands.
The lots conform to policy 17.E.20.5 of the Official Plan which requires both the retained and
severed lots to reflect the general scale and character of the established development pattern of
surrounding lands. Both the retained and severed lots have frontage on a public street with full
municipal services available.
Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that Consent Application B2019-009
requesting consent to sever the subject property into two lots be approved, subject to the
conditions listed in the Recommendation section of this report.
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.
3
• The owner is required to make satisfactory financial arrangements with the Engineering
Division for the installation of new ones that may be required to service this property, all
prior to severance approval. Our records indicate sanitary and water municipal services
are currently available to service this property. Any further enquiries in this regard
should be directed to Niall Melanson (519-741-2200 ext. 7133).
• Any new driveways are to be built to City of Kitchener standards. All works 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.
• The property falls within the City of Kitchener Central Neighbourhoods Boundary and is
therefore eligible for funding from the City of Kitchener for municipal service extension
design and installation. Please note that funding is made available on a first come first
serve basis.
• A Development Asset Drawing (digital AutoCAD) is required for the site (servicing, SWM
etc.) with corresponding layer names and asset information 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.
Environmental Planning Comments:
