Subject Property: 128 Mill Street
Report:
The owner is proposing to sever the subject lands to create a new "flag shape" lot behind the
existing dwelling. The existing residential dwelling at 128 Mill Street is proposed to remain. The
proposed lot requires a minor variance to permit a reduced lot width, as the lot width is measured
where the proposed lot is most narrow. The proposed lot is wider at the rear, resembling a "flag"
or "P" shape.

at the rear, with a lot depth of 47.94 and 34.61 metres, and a lot area of 678.3 square metres.
The retained lands have an area of 337.9 square metres.
Minor Variance Application A2019-038 is requesting a reduced lot width at the street of 5.14

Community Planning:
Regional Fee
Regional Staff acknowledge receipt of the required consent review fee.
Archaeological Assessment:
Regional Staff require the completion of an Archeological Assessment for the proposed
severed property because of the proximity to Known Archaeological Resources (about
75m from the property line) , and its location within a landform associated with the
habitation of early peoples on the land.
o As per Regional Official Plan policy 3.G.9, the applicant is required to
have a licensed Archaeologist complete an Archeological Assessment for
the entire severed property, and that any adverse impacts to significant
archaeological resources found shall be mitigated, through preservation
of the resource and/or removal and documentation, at the expense of the

report to the Region of Waterloo's Planning, Development and Legislative
Services Department.

Assessment.
The completed Archaeological Assessment and Ministry Clearance Letter will be
required prior to final approval of the Consent Application.
Corridor Planning:
Access
The subject property currently functions with vehicular access locations to both Tillsley
Drive and Erinbrook Drive; there is no direct vehicular access to Westmount Road.
Regional Staff advise that under future development applications, no vehicular access
will be permitted to Westmount Road.
Document Number: 2971876 Version: 1
Stormwater Management & Site Grading
Regional Staff require a detailed stormwater management will as a condition at Site
Plan approval. Staff will require an electronic copy of any stormwater management
report/briefing, as requested by the City of Kitchener Engineering Staff, for review and
approval as the revised stormwater management and grading for the site development
may impact the Westmount Road right of way. The Region will also require an
electronic copy of any civil engineering drawings required for the site.
Transit Planning
Regional Staff acknowledge that there are no transit requirements for the proposed
application.
However, the owners of severed and retained lots must be made aware that Grand
River Transit (GRT) currently operates Route 22 along sections of Tillsley Drive and
Erinbrook Drive. With the proposed ION launch GRT will be completing a transit
network re -design to better align bus routes with ION rapid transit. For more information
regarding the transit network re -design please see the Region's website
httips://www.qrt.ca/en/about-qrt/new-directions.asipx
In association with transit network re -design, transit stops immediately adjacent to and
near -by the subject property will consolidated and re -located to provide enhanced
service. This includes the closure of existing transit stops on Tillsley Drive, and re-
locating them to Erinbrook Drive. The future transit stop location on Erinbrook Drive may
conflict with the proposed vehicular access from the townhouse development to
Erinbrook Drive. Regional staff will work with the owner/applicant to ensure that the
future transit facilities will integrate with the proposed development.
Environmental Noise
A detailed environmental noise study will be required to assess the impacts of road
traffic from Westmount Road and Erinbrook Drive, and any potential stationary noise
sources in the vicinity. The recommendations of the detailed noise study will be required
to be implemented as a Regional condition through a registered agreement with the
Region of Waterloo. Condition(s) must be secured accordingly.
It is the responsibility of the owner/applicant to ensure the development is not adversely
affected by anticipated transportation and/or stationary noise impacts. In this regard the
applicant should prepare an Environmental Noise Study. The noise study must be
prepared in accordance with MOE NPC -300 Guideline.
The noise consultant must be pre -approved by the Region of Waterloo. The noise
consultant is responsible for obtaining current information, applying professional
expertise in performing calculations, making detailed and justified recommendations,
submitting the Consultant Noise Study Declaration and Owner/Authorized Agent
Statement along with three copies of the Environmental Noise Study to the Region of
Waterloo.
Document Number: 2971876 Version: 1
Please note that the Region of Waterloo charges $250 for the preparation of traffic
forecasts and review of Environmental Noise Study. The noise consultant preparing the
Environmental Noise Study must complete and submit a Transportation Planning Noise
Assessment Fee Form and must request forecasted traffic data for the appropriate
Regional roadways. The form can be found at:
https://www. regionofwaterloo. ca/en/I iving-here/resources/Design-StandardsINoise-
Assessment-Application--Fee-Form. pdf
As indicated on the form, traffic forecasts for noise assessments will be prepared within
15 business days of the data of the request, but will be withheld if payment has not
been received.
Regional staff has no objection to the application, subject to the following
conditions of approval:
1) That prior to final approval the owner/applicant submit an Archaeological
assessment report to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Sport, and once
reviewed and accepted, provide a copy of the acceptance letter and assessment
