REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:
The applicant is proposing to add one unit to an existing triplex by constructing a third storey addition
over the existing portion of the building on the retained lands.
The subject applications are requesting:
To sever the subject lands into two lots to convert the existing triplex into a semi-detached
duplex dwelling
Minor variances for reduction in rear yard setback for both the severed and retained lands,
number of pedestrian entrances for the retained lands, and to legalize the existing interior
garage parking space width for the retained lands. Note: The applicant requested a
variance to allow the semi-detached duplex dwelling use, however, By-law 2021-040
st
came into effect on June 1, 2021 and this is now a permitted use in the R-5 zone. As
such the variance to add the use is no longer required.
To establish maintenance easements along exterior building walls located on the proposed
dividing property line in accordance with Section 5.20 of the Zoning By-law.
Location Map: 297 Ottawa Street South
REPORT:
BACKGROUND:
On September 15, 2020, the Committee of Adjustment approved minor variance application A2020-
067 to convert a single detached dwelling into a triplex having a southerly side yard setback of 0.3m
rather than the required 4.5m; having parking located between the front façade and the street line
whereas the By-law does not permit parking between the front façade and the street line; having a
driveway located 0.3m from the intersection of Ottawa Street South and Acacia Street rather than
the required setback of 9m; and, to legalize the existing driveway located within the 7.2m Corner
Visibility Triangle (CVT) whereas the By-law does not permit encroachments within the CVT.
The applicant is now seeking to split the property in half (irregular shape) and add one unit, changing
the use from a triplex to a semi-detached duplex dwelling.
The property is designated as Low Rise Conservation in the Mill Courtland Woodside Park
Secondary Plan in the a Major Transit Station Area
Urban Structure Map.
The property is zoned as Residential Five Zone (R-5) in Zoning By-law 85-1.
Planning Comments:
Minor Variances:
In considering the four tests for minor variances as outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act, R.S.O.,
1990 Chap. P. 13, as amended, Planning staff offers the following comments:
General Intent of the Official Plan
1. The subject property is designated Low Rise Conservation in the Mill Courtland Woodside Park
Secondary Plan in the Official Plan. This designation aims to retain a low rise, low density
residential character of the neighbourhood and the preservation of existing housing stock is
encouraged. The proposal intends to add a unit by adding a storey to a portion of the existing
building. This addition will maintain a low density and low-rise built form. Therefore, the requested
variance meets the general intent of the Official Plan.
General Intent of the Zoning By-law
2. Rear Yard Setback: The intent of the regulation that requires a minimum 7.5 metres rear yard
setback is to ensure adequate building separation and amenity space can be provided.
Building Separation
The unique layout of this proposal would result in a semi-detached duplex dwelling on a corner
lot where each half of the semi-detached dwelling is facing a different street frontage. This results
in a situation where the rear yard for the retained lands is comprised of the common wall of the
semi-detached dwelling, and the rear yard for the severed lands becomes the current side yard.
In both cases, Staff is of the opinion that these figures exist due to a technicality in the way the
yard setbacks are determined due to the aforementioned unique layout on a corner lot. In reality,
the development as a whole is maintaining a 7.6 metre setback from the building to the property
line furthest from Ottawa Street (abutting 16 Acacia Street, which would comply to the Zoning
By-law if interpreted as a full developm
provided is greater than 7.5 metres, Staff is of the opinion that adequate building separation is
provided and therefore meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
Amenity Space
Staff has reviewed the amenity space layout plan included with the application, which includes
usable front porches, at-grade patio spaces, and balconies on both the retained and severed
lands, as well as a rooftop patio above the garage on the retained lands. Staff is satisfied that
the amenity spaces proposed are adequate in providing passive amenity space on site for the
proposed total of 4 units.
Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
Pedestrian Entrances (retained lands only) The intent of the regulation that allows not more
than 1 pedestrian entrance facing a street line is to provide an appealing aesthetic elevation for
street frontages. In this situation, both entrances exist currently and serve units in the existing
triplex. Further, the entrances are spaced apart and a patio separates the two entrances, so they
are not located side by side. Planning Staff is of the opinion that this does not contribute to a
negative aesthetic street elevation and therefore meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
Garage Parking Space Width: The intent of the regulation that requires vehicle parking spaces
within garages to be a minimum of 3 metres in width is to ensure that there is adequate space
to swing open the doors of a vehicle. In this situation, the garage is existing, and the parking
space width is deficient due to an existing staircase within the garage. Planning Staff
acknowledges that this staircase encroachment does not prevent the door swing of a vehicle and
therefore, meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
Is the Variance Appropriate?
3. The requested variances generally represent existing conditions and the construction of the
proposed one-storey building addition and slight increase in building height is permitted in the
Zoning By-law. Staff is of the opinion that the site can function as a semi-detached duplex
dwelling and fits in with the character of the surrounding neighbourhood, acknowledging it fronts
onto an arterial road. Therefore, Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are
appropriate.
Is the Variance Minor?
4. The request for variances to enable the use to change from a triplex to a semi-detached duplex
dwelling represents a minor increase in density and is not expected to result in adverse impacts
to the surrounding neighbourhood. Therefore, the requested variances can be considered minor.
City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on June 4, 2021.

Consent to sever and create easements:
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 lot is desirable and appropriate.
The use of both the severed and retained paficial 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 severance line is located along exterior building walls in some places and would
therefore create 0 metre setbacks to the shared property line. As per Section 5.20 of the Zoning By-
law, a 1.5 metre maintenance easement is required to be registered to allow access for maintenance
purposes. Staff is supportive of this request as it is required by the Zoning By-law.

Building Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed variance and 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 cultural heritage issues or concerns.
Environmental Planning Comments:
No environmental planning concerns.
Transportation Services Comments:
Transportation Services does not have any 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 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 Eric Riek
(eric.riek@kitchener.ca).
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.
Parks & Cemeteries Comments:
Parkland dedication will be required for the severed parcel as 1 new development lot/unit will be
created. This will be taken as cash-in-lieu of land at the policy standard rate of 5% of the appraised
land value, which is $9,200 per linear metrer of frontage as per the Street Fronting Residential
development land class. Because this is a corner lot, the total street frontage is reduced by 3 linear
metres from 15.85 linear metres to 12.85 linear metres. The cash-in-lieu parkland dedication
calculated for the proposed site with 12.85 linear metres of frontage is $5,911.00.
Calculation: (5% x 12.85 l.m. street frontage) x $9,200 = $5,911.00
An existing Street Tree is located in the boulevard on Acacia St. 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.

Jeremy Krygsman and Andrew Steinbach
The owner/applicant is proposing a severance to facilitate a semi-detached dwelling being
on separate lots. In addition, maintenance easements are required in favour of the
opposite properties along the common lot line.
Regional Fee:
The owner/applicant is required to submit the Regional consent review fee of $350.00
prior to final approval of the consent.
Road Widening:
A dedicated road widening of approximately 5.2 metres along Ottawa Street South
(Regional Road #04) and a daylight triangle of 7.62 metres along the new property
line(s) of Ottawa Street South and Acacia Street, if applicable, would be required to be
conve
metre designated road width identified in the Regional Official Plan (ROP) for Ottawa
Street South. An Encroachment agreement would also be required for the existing
building that would be encroaching into the Regional right-of-way, after the dedication of
lands.
However, keeping in view the building lines for the existing residence a reduced road
dedication of 4.0 metres along Ottawa Street and reduced daylight triangle 4.25 metres
along the new property line(s) would be supported to avoid the need for an
Encroachment Agreement.
An Ontario land Surveyor (OLS) is required to determine the exact amount of the road
widening. A draft reference plan must be provided for review prior to depositing the
reference plan to the Land Registry Office. An Environmental Site Assessment report
will not be required for the purpose of the road dedication to the Region.

Hello Committee of Adjustment,
I own 22 Acacia St which is 2 doors down from 297 Ottawa Street, South in Kitchener.
From my perspective on Acacia St, the addition done so far on the property looks great.
Jeremy Krygsman showed me inside the house - the 3 units are spacious and attractive.
I support the application to sever the property and put a 3rd floor on the brick house and add more units.
It's good to have more developments like this right near the LRT station and I think this project will fit in well.
Thank you
George and Janice Turoczi
