REPORT
Planning Comments:
The subject property is zoned Residential Six Zone (R-6) in the Zoning By-law and designated
Low Rise Residential in the City's Official Plan. The property currently contains a semi-detached
dwelling under construction. The existing development of the neighbourhood consists of single
detached, semi-detached, and multiple dwellings.
2
City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on July 17th, 2019.
Minor Variance
The owner is requesting relief from section 40.2.3 of the Zoning By-law to allow for a semi-
detached dwelling to be on a lot with a width of 12.1 metres rather than the required 12.5
metres.
General Intent of the Official Plan
The requested variance meets the general intent of the Official Plan. The Official Plan
encourages redevelopment that provides for an appropriate range, variety and mix of housing
types to satisfy the varying housing needs of the community. The reduction in lot width allows
for a variety of housing types to suit the needs of the community.
General Intent of the Zoning By-law
The requested variance meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law. The intent of the
minimum lot width for corner lot properties is to ensure that adequate amenity space is
provided, corner visibility is sufficient, and space for vehicle storage is provided. Staff has
reviewed the proposed layout and is satisfied that the aforementioned considerations can be
met. The lot has considerable amenity space both behind the dwelling, as well as in the side
yard between the dwelling and Kehl Street. Visibility is maintained as there are no building
projections into the Corner Visibility Triangle. Finally, vehicle storage is provided adequately
with a driveway coming off of Kehl Street. Therefore, the requested variance meets the general
intent of the Zoning By-law.
Is the Variance Appropriate?
The requested variance for reduction in lot width is appropriate for the neighbourhood. Compact
lots are prevalent in the neighbourhood and the proposed lot will meet the character of the
neighbourhood and is therefore considered appropriate.
Is the Variance Minor?
The requested reduction in lot width is just 0.4 metres and is considered minor. Staff does not
expect any adverse impacts from the minor reduction.
Consent to Sever
The Owner is requesting permission to sever the subject lands into two lots to allow separate
ownership of each semi-detached unit. The severed lot would have a lot width of 11.3 metres, a
depth of 26.8 metres, and an area of 235 square metres. The retained lot would have a lot width
of 12.1 metres, a depth of 26.8 metres, and an area of 364 square metres.

Semi-detached dwelling under construction at 45-47 Heiman Street (July 17, 2019)
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, staff is satisfied that the creation of the severed lots are desirable and
appropriate. The uses of both the severed and retained parcels are in conformity with the City's
Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Planning staff is of the opinion that the size, dimension and
shape of the proposed lots are suitable for the use of the lands and compatible with the
surrounding community. The lands front onto a public street and full services are available.
The proposed lots conform to the 2014 Official Plan. Both the retained and severed lots reflect
the general scale and character of the established development pattern of surrounding lands.
Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that Minor Variance Application A2019-091
and Consent Application B2019-057, requesting a reduction in lot width and consent to sever
the subject property into two lots to allow separate ownership of each semi-detached unit be
approved, subject to the conditions listed in the Recommendation section of this report.
Building Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed consent. Region of Waterloo and Area
Municipalities' Design Guidelines and Supplemental Specifications for Municipal Services
(DGSSMS) allows only one service per lot.
Heritage Comments:
No Heritage Planning Concerns.
Environmental Planning Comments:
A Tree management plan was approved and registered on title in a previous consent application
made in 2018.
Transportation Services Comments:
Transportation Services has no concerns with the proposed application.
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.
The owner is required to make satisfactory financial arrangements with the Engineering Division
for the installation of new services that may be required to service this property, all prior to
severance approval. Our records indicate sanitary, storm and water municipal services are
currently available to service this property. Any further enquiries in this regard should be
directed to Christine Goulet (519-741-2200 ext. 7820).
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.
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.
Please note that servicing plans and required funds have already been taken and an
offsite works permit issued. (004-2019) Engineering does not require anything else to be
submitted for this application and will sign off on the conditions.
Operations Comments:
A cash -in -lieu of park land dedication will be required on the severed parcel as a new
development lot will be created. The cash -in -lieu dedication required is $5,198.00. Park
Dedication is calculated at 5% of the new development lot only, with a land valuation calculated
by the lineal frontage (11.3m) at a land value of $9,200 per frontage meter.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Application A2019-091 & B2019-055 requesting permission for a semi-detached dwelling
on a corner lot having a lot width of 12.1 metres rather than the required 12.5 metres and
consent to sever the subject property into two lots be approved, subject to the following
