The Committee considered Development Services Department report DSD -19-166 dated July 9,
2019, recommending approval of Variances 1-3, subject to the conditions outlined in the Report;
and, refusal of Variance 4.
The Committee considered the report of the Region of Waterloo, Transportation Planner, dated
July 5, 2019, advising they have no concerns with this application.
The Committee was in receipt of various written comments from neighbouring property owners in
opposition to the subject application.
Messrs. M. Bradbury and J. Hunter, Ms. M. Lander and Ms. R. Elwahshi were in attendance in
support of the subject application and staff recommendation.
In response to questions, Ms. J. von Westerholt advised Section 5.13 of the Zoning By-law provides
the definition and regulations related to a home business. She indicated the By-law states that a
home business shall be conducted by the resident of the dwelling unit, contained wholly within the
dwelling and must be secondary to the residential use.
Ms. E. Cecchin and Messrs D. Cecchin and I Harrower were in attendance in opposition to the
subject application. Mr. Cecchin advised he provided a written submission outlining the majority of
his concerns. He stated he is the property owner of 916 Keewatin Place, directly adjacent to the
subject property, and is directly impacted by the actions of the property owner of 920 Keewatin
Place. Mr. Cecchin expressed concerns with: the business operations; trucks and trailers parked
in the circle; vehicles being driven over the island; pedestrian safety; vehicle access; monopolizing
on -street parking; and, the placement of the notice sign related to the subject application. He stated
he had reviewed the staff report and is of the opinion the recommendations are reasonable and will
provide the necessary enforcement means to address the majority of the neighbourhood
complaints. He further advised he believes the City is being overly generous with the
recommendation to approve, given the past history with the property owner and his reluctance to
comply with other City by-laws and regulations. He requested consideration be given to only
permitting the applicant to have one employee for a one-year period of time and if after that one-
year timeframe there are no further complaints, to then consider allowing the applicant to have a
second employee. Mr. Cecchin stated he was in support of staffs recommendation to refuse the
variance for the side yard, stating for practical reasons it is the only viable location on the subject
property for snow removal, noting snow removal has also been an issue with the property owner in
the past. He thanked City staff for addressing the neighbourhood concerns, stating the Report also
gives the property owner clear guidelines for the operation of his business.
Mr. I Harrower advised he is the property owner of 921 Keewatin Place, noting he was in opposition
to the subject application. He stated he was in support of the staff recommendations, indicating his
concerns at this time were related to parking on the walkway of the subject property and
enforcement of the imposed conditions, commenting the neighbours would need to be proactive to
have the conditions enforced.
Mr. Bradbury addressed the Committee in support of the staff recommendation, including the
recommendation to refuse the variance related to the side yard setback. He circulated photos of
the property, indicating Photo 1 demonstrates a front yard view of the property with no vehicles
parked in the side yard/walkway area. He expressed concerns with the comments made by Mr.
Cecchin, noting they have a pending litigation between them and any complaints made this date
will be addressed in court. He addressed the submission from Mr. Cecchin, advising the photos
contained within the package were from an isolated incident when he was undertaking work on the
rear yard of his property. Mr. Bradbury advised they are in full support of the staff recommendation,
including the proposed amendment, and are prepared to operate their business within the
parameters as outlined in staffs recommendation. He further advised he is operating a small home
business wholly contained within the dwelling.
In response to questions, Ms. von Westerholt advised the Zoning By-law has a number of
regulations pertaining to a home business. She indicated the regulations refer to the number of
employees, parking etc., stating the regulations are outlined in the By-law in Section 5.13.2 from
COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES

'A' to 'R'. She indicated the property owner is permitted within the By-law to have one non-
resident employee other than himself. She stated the requested variance is for two non-resident
employees.
Mr. B. McColl advised he supports home businesses. He stated although there are residents in
opposition, all parties in attendance this date have expressed support for the staff
recommendations, noting he was also in support of the staff recommendations.
In response to questions, Mr. Bradbury advised he was in support of the full staff recommendation,
including the proposed amendment contained within the Report. He further advised the condition
outlined in the staff recommendation related to open building permits was no longer required as he
has recently completed all necessary works. Ms. von Westerholt advised staff would prefer the
condition related to the closing of all outstanding building permits remain, noting if the applicant
has already completed the work, it would not be onerous to clear.
Ms. J. Meader stated it would be her preference to ensure consistency in the imposed conditions.
She requested, and it was agreed, that Conditions 2, 3 and 5 as outlined in the Report should
be consistent and all reference 'construction business', rather than the word 'contractor'.
Ms. Meader expressed concerns with Condition 2 as outlined in the Report, noting the wording
may cause confusion with regards to individuals permitted to attend the property. Ms. von
Westerholt acknowledged the concern, stating nothing would prohibit the property owner from
preparing AutoCad drawings etc., as that type of work could be associated with the construction
business and defined as office work. She indicated the purpose of the proposed condition is to
prohibit attracting people to the subject property and to regulate contractors from the
construction business from attending the site. Ms. von Westerholt further advised that Condition
5 as outlined in staff's recommendation was also intended to make it very clear that the applicant
is not permitted to have any type of contractor's yard, including outdoor storage. She indicated
By-law Enforcement is aware of the site and the neighbours are being vigilant.
Ms. Meader noted Condition 2 as outlined in staff's recommendation could create further issues
for the applicant/neighbourhood in defining what type of employees are attending the site. She
indicated it may be more appropriate to strike the condition to prevent "people" Zoning and allow
the regulations outlined in the By-law related to home business employees prevail.
A motion was brought forward by Mr. B. McColl to approve the recommendation as previously
amended regarding the use of'construction business' and striking Condition 2.

Ms. M. Wirtz and Mr. J. Krygsman were in attendance in support of the subject applications and
staff recommendations. At the request of Mr. Krygsman, the Committee agreed to remove the
words "building elevation drawings" from Condition 6.a) of the staff recommendation; and further,
to amend Condition 6 to require the agreement be registered only on the severed lands rather than
the severed and retained lands.
Mr. Krygsman further requested that consideration be given to removing Condition 6 in its entirety,
stating no trees are located on the severed lands and in his opinion, the condition would be onerous
for the applicant to clear. Ms. J. von Westerholt advised there is a tree straddling the proposed lot
line and a preservation plan is being recommended to ensure the protection of all trees, including
the drip line of existing trees. She indicated it would be her preference that the Committee impose
the condition as part of their decision this date.
