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 general scale and character of the established development pattern of surrounding lands.

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. Separate building permit(s) will be required for the
demolition of all existing buildings, as well as construction of all new residential buildings
Heritage Comments:
Heritage Planning staff has no concerns.

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 municipal sanitary, storm and water services are
currently available to service the proposed units along Siebert Avenue however the sanitary
sewer along Clark Avenue will need to be extended at the owners expense to service those
proposed units. Any further enquiries in this regard should be directed to Niall Melanson (519-

pump and forcemain to the property line and have a gravity sewer from the property line to the
street.
