REPORT HIGHLIGHTS: The applications propose to sever 942 Doon Village Road into 4 lots. 950 Doon Village Road is an existing lot, for a total of five single detached dwellings fronting onto public streets. Location Map BACKGROUND: lands are zoned as Residential Six (R-6) in Zoning By-law 85-1. REPORT: Planning Comments: The single detached dwelling on the property is proposed to be demolished. The Applicant requesting permission to sever the subject lands into four lots, in addition to the existing lot at 950 Doon Village Road. The proposed lots are described below. Application Lot Proposed Lot Area Proposed Lot Width Retained Lands 1306.6 sq m 19.695 m (after 3 severances) B2021-018 Proposed Severed Lot 1 918.4 sq m 13.716 m B2021-019 Proposed Severed Lot 2 909.4 sq m 13.716 m B2021-020 Proposed Severed Lot 3 909.6 sq m 13.716 m Existing Lot 1189.37 sq m 22.57 m (950 Doon Village Road) The proposed lot widths and lot areas exceed the minimum requirements in the Residential Six (R- 6) zone. City Planning staff conducted a site walk of the property on October 27, 2020 as part of the previous site plan application. Photo of Subject Property View from Doon Mills Road 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, Planning staff is of the opinion that the proposed severance conforms to the community. In addition to single detached dwellings, the existing zoning permits multiple dwellings. Planning staff had received and circulated applications for a Plan of Condominium (Vacant Land) and site plan for a 7 unit condominium development with a private road. That proposal included significant tree removals, as well as larger retaining walls surrounding the property. Development Services Staff worked with the Applicant on the revised proposal for five street fronting lots where each lot is proposed to be developed with a single detached dwelling. Four lots are proposed to have access to Doon Mills Drive and one lot (existing lot) is proposed to have access to Doon Village Road (cul- de-sac). The revised five lot proposal results in significant tree savings at the side and rear of the property, and some reduced retaining walls. In order to provide individual driveways to each lot, the preliminary grading plans show two sets of driveways that are shared within the right-of-way. While no easement would be required for the shared driveways (within public right-of-way), Planning staff is recommending that if the final grading plans show shared driveways, that access and maintenance language be included in the modified subdivision that will be registered on the severed and retained lands. The lands front onto established public streets, and the severed lands can be serviced with municipal services. Staff is further of the opinion that the proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. 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. Transportation Comments: Transportation Services does not have any concerns with the proposed application. The existing concrete sidewalk to remain in its current location. Heritage Comments: No heritage planning concerns. 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 service connections 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 Niall Melanson (niall.melanson@kitchener.ca). Any new driveways are to be built to City of Kit 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 new site infrastructure 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. Significant road works will likely be required and Transportation Division should be consulted on driveway locations and roadway alignments. Parks/Operations Comments: A cash-in-lieu of park land dedication will be required on the severed parcels as 3 new development lots will be created. The cash-in-lieu dedication required is $18,928.08. Park Dedication is calculated at 5% of the new development lot only, with a land valuation calculated by the lineal frontage (41.148m (3x13.716)) at a land value of $9,200 per frontage meter. The existing street trees located on municipal property Infront of 942 Doon Village Road are to be protected. Tree protection is required on all trees during construction work as indicated in city bylaw 690.4.2 Protection - Trees on City Property. It shall be the responsibility of the person or persons in charge of any lot on which the construction, alteration or demolition of any building is taking place, to take adequate steps for the protection of any trees on City property within 6.09 metres (20 feet) of any such lot and no such work shall be commenced until such protection has been provided. Street trees and street tree protection of existing trees are required for the application within the Boulevard. Proposed street trees and street tree protection shall be shown on a Street Tree Management Plan (STMP), stamped by a certified Landscape Architect for review by Parks and Cemeteries. Tree planting shall conform to Section M of the Development Manual. Street trees are required at a ratio of 1 tree for every 10 linear metres of street frontage. The sidewalk in the boulevard of 942 Doon Village Road is to have a 1 metre clearance and removal of vegetation on either side of the sidewalk to allow for maintenance. All disturbed areas in the right of way are to be restored with topsoil and sod. The use of retaining walls on city property is not permitted. All retaining walls are to be in private ownership. If retaining walls are required, a legal encroachment and maintenance easement is required. Environmental Planning Comments: This proposal does a much better job of saving trees and is therefore a better fit for the area. With the new proposal, the Applicant will be required to obtain final approval of the Tree Preservation and Enhancement plan that was submitted with the application. A condition is required in the agreement to implement the Tree Management Plan prior to grading, tree removal, or issuance of any building permits, whichever shall occur first. Region of Waterloo Comments: Regional Fee: The owner/applicant is required to submit the Regional consent review fee of $350.00 per new lot created ($350.00 x 3 = $1050.00) prior to final approval of the consent. Water Services: The subject property is located in Kitchener Zone 2w with a static hydraulic grade line of 361 mASL. Any development with a finished road elevation below 304.6 mASL will require individual pressure reducing devices on each water service in accordance with Section B.2.4.7 of the Design Guidelines and Supplemental Specifications for Municipal Services for January 2020. Environmental Noise: The proposed dwellings on severed and retained lots will have impacts from transportation noise from traffic on Doon Village Road. A detailed environmental noise study will be required to assess the impacts of transportation noise from traffic on Doon Village Road and determine the required noise attenuation measure, as may be required for the proposed dwellings on severed and retained lots. Due to abruptly changing grades on the property, an accurate assessment of noise levels should be made in the noise report at various locations i.e. facades, living rooms, sleeping rooms and O based on the proposed grades/finished elevations of the proposed dwelling units. The recommendations of the noise study will be implemented through a registered agreement with the City of Kitchener, as a Regional condition for the above application. The noise consultant must be pre-approved by the Region of Waterloo. The noise consultant is responsible for obtaining current information, applying professional expertise in performing calculations, making detailed and justified recommendations, submitting the Consultant Noise Study Declaration and Owner/Authorized Agent Statement along with one electronic copy of the report to the Region of Waterloo. The noise consultant preparing the Environmental Noise Study must contact Region of Waterloo staff for transportation data including traffic forecasts and truck percentages for Regional roads. The application for Noise Assessment Application is available at: https://rmow.permitcentral.ca/Permit/GroupApply?groupId=3 The Region has no objection to the proposed application, subject to the following conditions: 1) That prior to final approval, the owner/applicant submit the Regional consent review fee of $350.00 per new lot created. 2) That prior to final approval, the owner/applicant complete an Environmental Noise Study and, if necessary, shall enter into an agreement with the City of Kitchener to provide for implementation of the accepted noise assessment attenuation measures, all to the satisfaction of the Region of Waterloo.

PREVIOUS REPORTS/AUTHORITIES: The Applicant had submitted applications for a proposed Plan of Condominium (Vacant Land) and site plan approval. The Applicant has withdrawn their condominium and site plan applications (for 7 units) and is now proposing to create five street fronting lots where each lot is proposed to be developed with a single detached dwelling. Four lots are proposed to have access to Doon Mills Drive and one lot (existing lot) is proposed to have access to Doon Village Road (cul-de-sac).
