May 31, 2021 advising they have no concerns with this application.
Mohammed (Adam) Alsaqqawas in attendance in support of the subject application and the staff
recommendation.
Krishna Rao&MadhaviBonthagorlawere in attendance in opposition to the application. K.
Bonthagorla expressed concerns related to the height of the deck and impacts related toprivacy.
In response to questions, K. Bonthagorlaadvised the installation of a privacy screen on the side of
the deck would not address their concerns as that would also impact their existing views. K.
Bonthagorlafurther advised the subject property previously received a variance for their rear yard
and are now requesting further variances for a deck in the front yard that isalreadyexisting.
A.Alsaqqaadvised cityservices to the property needed to be replaced, so the old deck was
removed and a new deck was constructed. A.Alsaqqastated the existing deck was constructed
and tied into the existing shed, which is located between the subject property and the neighbouring
property that help to obstruct the view to their yard. A.Alsaqqafurther advised there is also a mature
tree in that location that would address some of the privacy concerns raised. In response to
questions, A.Alsaqqaadvised the deck is slightly higher than the previous deck, but the application
is only intended to recognize what was previously existing. A.Alsaqqafurther advised he could
install a privacy screen between the two properties if it was the Committee’s will.
In response to questions, K. Bonthagorlaadvised a privacy screen would not address his concerns
related to the height of the deck.
Questions were raised regarding the previous deck, J. von Westerholt advised she did not have
any information related to the previous deck and whether a building permit was obtained.
M. Kidd stated the variances being requested of the Committee this date do not relate to the height
of the deck, only the required setbacks. Questions were raised regarding obtaining anynecessary
building permit approvals and what may occur ifthe Building Department was not able to grant an
approval for the deck in its current state. J. von Westerholt indicated if it was the preference of the
Committee, they could include a condition requiring the application to obtain a building permit.
B. McColl indicated the concerns related to whether the applicant is able to obtain a building permit
for the deck are outside of the scope of the Committee. B. McColl further advised although the
neighbour expressed concerns about privacy, the variances requested can be considered minor,
noting he was in support of the application.
S. Hannah indicated as the property is a semi-detached dwelling, their front yard is their identified
amenity space, noting the only reason for requiring a variance was due tothereconstruction of
services. S. Hannah further advised the privacy was suggested and determined not to be preferred
by the neighbour as a means to alleviate those concerns.

The Committee considered the report of the Region of Waterloo, Transportation Planner, dated
May 31, 2021 advising they have no concerns with theapplication.
RaymondHigginswas in attendance in support of the application, notinghe was in opposition with
the staff recommendation to refuse theDVTencroachment.R. Higgins stated he provided a written
submission to address the refusal request related to the DVT, noting since purchasing the property
they have done a significant amount of renovations to improve the property. The requested
variances are intended to improve the rear of the property where the foundation is deteriorating, to
build a small garage and carport, indicatingthe intention to remove the deck and shed for the
construction. R. Higgins stated there are very few properties within the vicinity that comply with the
DVT requirements. R. Higgins indicated the left side of the DVT is already obstructed by the house
and porch at127 Mansion Streetandthe right side is also obstructed by the deck which is proposed
to be demolished. R. Higgins indicated the proposed garage will be an improvementto the existing
encroachment condition. R. Higgins further advised the Committee has approved applications
similar to this in the past, noting the condominium building across the street has a similar condition.
D. Seller stated staff are unable to support the proposed garage encroachment into the DVT, noting
there is currently a 1.6m off set between the driveway and the neighbouring property. D. Seller
indicated the proposed garage would eliminate that setback.D. Seller statedthe current
encroachment into the DVT are pre-existing conditions, staff are not able to support such a large
encroachment into the DVT as proposed. D. Seller stated Transportation Services have no
objections with the variance for the parking setback. D. Seller further advised even if there is a
sidewalk installed along Mansion Street, staff have no objections to the proposed parking setback
as there is sufficient space in the driveway to accommodate parking without obstruction onto the
sidewalk. D. Seller indicated Transportation Services cannot support the encroachment as
requested, noting staff would be willing to work with the applicant to review options that could
possibly be supported.
The Chair suggested a possible one month deferral to allow the applicant and opportunity to work
with Transportation Services related to the garage.
R. Higgins noted if the City installed a new sidewalk on Mansion Street, there would be other
properties located within the vicinity that would losetheir off-street parking spaces. R. Higgins
expressed some frustration related to the Committee process, indicatingit was his understanding
that Planning staff were supportive of the subject application.
S. Hannah indicated he was leaning towards a deferral, noting he believes there could be changes
to the proposed construction that may addressboth the City’s requirements and the applicants.
In response to questions, R. Higgins advised the deck would only require a 1, possibly 2 stairrise
from grade. S. Hannah indicated the stairs may require an encroachment agreement.
Several members spoke in support of the proposed deferral, noting following a discussion with
staff, likely a solution can be identified. R. Higgins indicated he has already lost more time than
anticipated to startconstruction. R. Higgins stated it appeared staff were unwilling to accept any
variance related to the DVT. J. von Westerholt indicated staff have expressed a willingness to
review options related to the DVT,notingthere may be materials or designs as an example that
could be taken into consideration. J. von Westerholt further advised the applicant reference other
applications where the Committee approved encroachments into theDVT, she indicated each
application is considered on its own merit
R. Higgins stated as a possible option he couldinvertthe garage with the carport, but there would
still be some encroachment into the DVT.

properties on the street. S. Ranney expressed furtherconcerns related to privacy andfrustration
related to the misleadinginformation hereceived relatedto the required rear yard.S. Ranney
questioned as a privacy screen was suggested in a previous application was it something that could
be considered in this application.
J. von Westerholt indicated she was unable to speak to the conversations between the neighbour
and other staff. She indicated there are setback requirements for rear yards in relation to the
dwelling and thedeck. J. von Westerholt advised the subject application is for the creation of a new
lot, noting the setbacks are not subject to the application.
S. Hannah noted the City’s Zoning By-law does permit decks to encroach into the rear yard setback.

the Zoning By-law, noting the deck is compliant in this instance.S. Hannah commentedhe had
read the written submission provided, noting generally semi-detached dwellings are constructed
first prior to requesting a severance to ensure the lot line is severed accurately down the party wall.
S. Hannah stated if there were any additional concerns related to the development the only
recourse in this instance would be a civil dispute.

The Committee considered the report of the Region of Waterloo, Transportation Planner, dated

The Committee considered the report from the Grand River Conservation Authority, datedJune 02,

A 2021-060.
The Chair requested the conditions from the Region of Waterloo be included in the Committee’s
decision this date.
Jeremy Krygsmanquestioned once the Road Widening is taken on OttawaStreet South would
there be an opportunity to enter into an encroachment agreement to address potential concerns
related to off-street parking in the driveway. J. von Westerholt noted Ottawa Street South was a
Regional Road and it was her understanding the Region did not typically enter into encroachment
agreements.
J.Krygsmanfurther requested consideration be given to removing the requirement outlined in staff
recommendation related to receiving approval of elevation drawings, noting proposed building
designs have already been submitted. J. von Westerholt advised it would be staff preference to
maintain the recommendation as outlined in the report, noting the condition will ensure the
compatibility of the development.
Questions were raised regarding the requested road widening, J. von Westerholt advised the
Region of Waterloo would have identified the widening in their Official Plan, stating a number of
factors such as the Light Rail Transit (LRT) corridor as an example would have identified the need
for the widening. J. von Westerholt further advised the City has delegated authority from the Region
of Waterloo to consider consent applications, noting the importance of imposing the conditions that
have been requested. In response to questions, J. Krygsmanadvised there was still room in the
driveway for two off-street parking spaces.
