REPORT
Planning Comments:
The subject property is zoned Residential Four Zone (R-4) with Special Use Provision 329U 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.
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 7.58 metres, a
2
depth of 42.88 metres, and an area of 314 square metres. The retained lot would have a lot
width of 7.59 metres, a depth of 45.60 metres, and an area of 336 square metres.
City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on August 19th, 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 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 Consent Application B2019-060,
requesting 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.

The subject applications were previously circulated in July 2019 and deferred to rectify
concerns between City and Regional staff regarding the sanitary servicing strategy for
the proposed site. The owner/applicant and Regional Staff have come to an agreement
on the proposed sanitary servicing strategy and the applications are moving forward to
propose further subdividing the existing Parcel `C' into Parcel `C', `D' and `E'.
Regional Comments:

Regional Staff have received the required consent review fee.
Corridor Planning:
Regional Staff in consultation with the owner/applicant and the City of Kitchener have
discussed a new proposed sanitary sewer extension on Ottawa Street South in
association with the upcoming Regional Road reconstruction project. Regional Staff
have the following comments below:
Document Number: 3092415 Version: 1
A Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report was submitted by
WalterFedy (June 2019) was submitted in association with the severance of the
property at 83 Elmsdale Drive, Kitchener. A viable sanitary sewer outlet must be
provided for the proposed severed parcels, the existing sanitary sewer owned by
the Region of Waterloo for landfill leachate and gas extraction is not a viable
sanitary sewer connection for the proposed development at 83 Elmsdale Drive,
Kitchener.
• Consultation between all involved parties has occurred to facilitate a positive
sanitary sewer outlet for the proposed severance. The consensus moving
forward is to install a new sanitary sewer within the Ottawa Street South right of
way in association with the upcoming Ottawa Street South re -construction works;
currently scheduled for 2021-2022.
To facilitate the sanitary sewer construction in the Ottawa Street South re-
construction project the Region will require the following to be completed:

Waterloo and the City of Kitchener to secure the implementation of the
sanitary sewer construction in the Ottawa street South re -construction
project.
o An approved Engineering Plan for the sanitary sewer extension, detailed
cost estimate associated with the sanitary sewer extension, and a bank
draft/letter of credit/certified cheque associated with the sanitary sewer
extension.
Regional staff has no objection to the application, subject to the following
conditions of approval:
1) That prior to final approval, the owner/applicant enter into a development
agreement with the Region of Waterloo and City of Kitchener to secure the

The owner/applicant is proposing a severance for a residential lot.
Fee:
The owner/applicant must submit the consent review fee of $350.00 to the Region of
Waterloo prior to final approval of the consent application.
Water Services:
Regional Staff have no concern with the proposed application, however Staff advise the
following comments
The regional 450 mm dia watermain located on this section of Belmont has a unique
grandfathered history. There are numerous service connections located on this
Document Number: 3092415 Version: 1
Regional watermain from South Drive to Highland Road. Typically Regional Staff would
not allow new service connections onto a regional watermain.
The intent in the future is to construct two watermains one local and one regional. The
life expectancy is nearing the recommended age for this material type and date of
installation. 1950 is the install date - life expectancy for this diameter is 70 years and
therefore this watermain at 69 years old.
Regional Staff advise that since this road is a local road that discussions should occur
with the City of Kitchener to determine the best time to replace this watermain with their
assessment of the road and other infrastructure.
Regional Staff, considering all these factors, have no concerns with the addition of a
new connection.
Environmental Noise:
The subject lot was created as part of consent application B2017-005 and accordingly
the following noise attenuation measures and warning clauses will apply for both the
severed and retained lots, to comply with the conditions of registered agreement,
