REPORT
Planning Comments:
In 2018, applications B2018-119 and B2018-120 requesting to sever 2 lots and retain one lot for
residential purposes was approved by the Committee and the decision required the applicant to
fulfill a number of conditions by September 29, 2019. It is staff's understanding the applicant
has satisfied most of those conditions but was unable to complete all of the conditions by the
specified timeframe. As a result, the decision has lapsed. Consequently, the applicant has re-
applied under applications B2020-027 and B2020-028 seeking re -approval from the Committee
for the creation of two severed and one retained residential lots. Details of the proposal are
summarized below.
The subject property measures 29.1 metres (95 feet) wide by 35.9 metres (118 feet) deep for an
area of 1046.6 square metres (11,265.7 square feet). The subject property is designated Low
Rise Residential and zoned Residential Four Zone (R-4) in Zoning By-law 85-1. The subject
application has been considered under the policies of the City's 2014 Official Plan. The intent of
the Low Rise Residential designation is to accommodate a range of housing types, favouring a
mix and integration of different forms of housing to achieve a lower overall intensity of use. The
lands are currently developed with an existing residential dwelling. The surrounding
development consists of a mixture of single and duplex detached dwellings, semi-detached
dwellings, and low-rise multiple dwellings. Lot sizes vary in width and area as evidenced by the
Location Map shown above.
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing residential dwelling and is seeking
permission to sever the subject lands to create two new residential lots and retain one
residential lot. The two severed lots would each have lot widths of 9.6 metres (31.5 feet), a
depth of 35.9 metres (118 feet) and an area of 344.6 square metres (3709.6 square feet). The
retained lot would have a lot width of 9.6 metres (31.5 feet), a depth of 35.9 metres (118 feet)
and an area of 344.6 square metres (3709.6 square feet). No variances are being sought with
the creation of the lots as the they comply with the lot width and area requirements of the
zoning.
City Planning staff conducted a recent site inspection of the property in August 2020.
Existing Detached Residential Dwelling at 11 Chicopee Drive
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 meet the general intent of the
City's Official Plan, Zoning By-law, Provincial Policy Statement 2020 and the Growth Plan.
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 lotting fabric. The lands
front onto a public street and full services are available.
Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that Consent Applications B2020-027 and
B2020-028, requesting consent to sever the subject property into two lots and retain one lot 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. 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:
No heritage planning concerns.
Environmental Planning Comments:
Conditions applied at this time should be consistent with those applied to the previous
application.
Transportation Services Comments:
Transportation Services will require funds to be dedicated to Engineering Services for a future
1.8m concrete sidewalk along the entire frontage of both severed portions of these applications.
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.
Please note that there are currently no storm sewers along Chicopee Park Court. The
developer has three choices for a sump pump outlet.
o Prove you can accommodate the sump pump discharge on the individual
properties
o Prove a sump pump is not required at all in the house.
o Extend the storm sewer down the street. This will require MECP approval and
will go through the Off -Site Works Process.
■ In accordance with Section 53 of the Ontario Water Resources Act, an Environmental
Compliance Approval (ECA) for sewage works will be required by the Ministry of
Environment, Conservation and Parks for the extension of the municipal sewer to the
satisfaction of the Director of Engineering Services prior to site plan approval.
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 these
properties, all prior to severance approval. Our records indicate municipal sanitary and
water services are available for the proposed properties. Any further enquiries in this
regard should be directed to Katie Wood (519-741-2200 ext. 7135).
• 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 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.
Operations Comments:
Park Dedication is calculated at 5% of the new development lots only, with a land valuation
calculated by the lineal frontage (19.349m) at a land value of $9,200 per frontage metre. The
total Park Dedication for this application is $8,900.54. Any change to the proposal for
development may require a re -assessment of Park Dedication
