REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:
The purpose of this report is to recommend conditional approval of a consent application to
create a new lot to allow the redevelopment of the lands with one duplex on the severed lot
and one duplex on the retained lot.
There are no financial implications to the City.
This report supports the delivery of core services.
BACKGROUND:
This report is being brought forward to recommend conditional approval of a consent application
to create a new lot to allow the redevelopment of the lands with one duplex on the severed lot
and one duplex on the retained lot.
REPORT:
The subject property is located on the north side of Coral Crescent in the Southdale Planning
Community. The property contains a single detached dwelling that was constructed in
approximately 1961. The surrounding lands are composed primarily of low-density residential
land uses on lots of various dimensions and shapes. Dwelling types include single detached
dwellings, duplexes, and semi-detached dwellings constructed mainly between the mid -1940s
and mid-1970s, though there are recent examples of new development. Dwellings within the
surrounding neighbourhood range in design, architecture, materials, and building height.
The property is designated Low Rise Residential in the Official Plan and zoned Residential Four
Zone (R-4) in By-law 85-1. City Planning staff visited the property on October 1, 2021.
Figure 2. View of subject property from Coral Crescent
The applicant is requesting consent to create a new lot with frontage on Coral Crescent to
facilitate the redevelopment of the lands with two duplex dwellings (one on each resultant lot).
The severed lot would have an approximate lot width of 9.5 metres, a depth ranging between
58.5 metres and 59.1 metres, and an area of 555.3 square metres. The retained lot would have
an approximate lot width of 9.5 metres, a depth ranging between 59.1 metres and 59.8 metres,
and an area of 561.5 square metres. The consent application fully meets the City's Zoning By-
law, which requires a minimum lot width of 9.0 metres and lot area of 235.0 square metres.
Accordingly, no minor variances are required to facilitate the subject consent application.
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 City's Official Plan. The subject lands are suitable for the purposes for which they are to
be severed. There are other lots in the surrounding neighbourhood that are similar in scale and
character. Both resultant lots are suitable in their dimensions and shapes and front onto an
established municipal road with adequate 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.
It should be noted that the front yard setback from Residential Intensification in Established
Neighbourhoods Study (RIENS) Area will apply, requiring the setback for the new duplex
dwellings to be based on the average setback of the dwellings on either side of the subject
property (rather than a fixed setback). Also, staff notes that the Residential Infill in Central
Neighbourhoods section of the Urban Design Manual will apply to the future development of the
proposed dwellings.
Planning staff notes that, as a condition, the applicant will be required to apply for and obtain
Demolition Control Approval from the Planning Division, in addition to a Demolition Permit from
the Building Division and demolish the existing dwelling.
Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that Consent Application B2021-045 be
approved, subject to the conditions listed in the Recommendation section of this report.
Building Division 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 the existing building, as well as construction of the new residential buildings.
Transportation Services Comments:
Transportation Services does not have any concerns with the proposed application.
Engineering Services 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.melansona-kitchener.ca).
• Any new driveways are to be built to City of Kitchener standards. All works are 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 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 and Cemeteries Comments:
Cash -in -lieu of park land dedication will be required on the severed parcel as 1 new development
lot will be created. The cash -in -lieu dedication required is $4270.00 Park Dedication is calculated
at 5% of the new development lots only, with a land valuation calculated by the lineal frontage
of (9.47m) at a land value of $9,200 per frontage meter.
An existing City -owned street tree (#126005) will be impacted by the proposed severance and
development. A Tree Protection and Enhancement Plan showing suitable protection is required
to the satisfaction of Parks & Cemeteries staff prior to approval. Alternatively, a) replacement of
2 suitable trees can be shown on a Street Tree Planting Plan following City of Kitchener
Development Manual standards to the satisfaction of Parks & Cemeteries staff or b) suitable
financial compensation can be provided prior clearance of Parks and Cemeteries conditions.
Environmental Planning Comments:
The standard condition for a Tree Management Plan on both severed and retained lands should
be applied.
Heritage Planning Comments:
The subject property is located adjacent to properties within the St. Mary's Heritage
Conservation District. Given the lot depth of the subject property in relation to the designated
properties within the adjacent district, it is not anticipated that there will be adverse impacts as
a result of this severance on the adjacent designated heritage properties.
Region of Waterloo Comments:
The owner/applicant is proposing to sever the lot into two smaller lots with the intention of
demolishing the current house and building a duplex on each lot.
Regional Fee.
The owner/applicant is required to submit the Regional consent review fee of $350.00 prior to
final approval of the consent.
Record of Site Condition.,
Regional Staff note that a Record of Site Condition (RSC) for both the retained and severed
parcels will be required prior to final approval due to known contamination (former landfills in the
area) on an adjacent property in accordance with the Region's "Implementation Guideline for
the Review of Development Applications On or Adjacent to Known and Potentially Contaminated
Sites". A copy of the RSC and a copy of the Acknowledgement Letter from the Ministry of the
Environment, Conservation and Parks must be submitted to the Region of Waterloo to fulfill this
condition.

per new lot created prior to final approval of the consents.
Environmental Noise:
The proposed severed and retained lots are located within 200 metres (approx. 88m) of
Weber Street (Regional Road No. 08) and would likely have impacts from transportation
noise in the vicinity. Staff also note that there may be other potential stationary noise
sources in the vicinity.
Therefore, in lieu of the applicant undertaking a detailed environmental noise study to
assess the environmental noise impacts on the proposed residential dwellings on
retained and severed lots, Regional staff have agreed to require the following noise
attenuation measures implemented through a registered agreement with the Region of
Waterloo as a condition of approval, for all dwelling units on both the retained and

Ladies and Gentlemen:
My name is -1 am the original owner of.Coral Crescent in Kitchener and have enjoyed living here for
the past 60 years. It was a total shock to me as well as to my neighbours to read about the proposal for 35 Coral
Crescent to be demolished and have two single detached duplexes constructed.
This would totally ruin the original lovely appearance of the crescent. Furthermore, there is already considerable
traffic on the street and with four more families this would definitely add to the problem.
Also, It should be taken into consideration that the City had our street under construction last year, the result of which
was great- However, excavations of up to eight feet were necessary on the entire front yard right next to lot 35 as well
as on the street- Garbage (tires, rotted mattresses, etc-) had to be carted away by the truck loads. Older people from
Pleasant Avenue told us that they used to play can the garbage dump (now Coral Crescent) as kids- Will more
garbage be uncovered and removed when the house is demolished? WIII we be environrnentatly exposed again?
However. it did tum out to be a beautiful Crescent and we would love to keep it that way. I am certain every member
of the Committee would feel the sameay-

Subject: [EXTERNAL] proposed development at 35 Coral Crescent
Hello Andrew,
We are 30 year residents and homeowners at Coral Crescent - across the street and over one from the property in
question. Our next door neighbour, has shared the information you provided to her regarding the
proposed development at #35.
We were shocked to learn of what is proposed - cannot imagine how four units and their resulting people and cars could
be accommodated in that space. Our street is a quiet, one block crescent bordering the St. Mary's Heritage District
comprised of small, single family dwellings. Changing #35 from a single dwelling/single property to two duplexes/two
properties would negatively impact the street in a number of ways: increased traffic, parking challenges (our street is
already used for overflow parking from Pleasant on a daily basis), loss of mature trees, potential decrease in property
value. It would create a permanent alteration to the character of our neighbourhood and be precedent setting.
While we understand that the proposed application meets the size requirements for the city's zoning by-law, that does not
mean it is a good idea or fit for the existing neighbourhood. The only one who would benefit from it is the owner of #35
who would derive income from the rental of four units, and presumably not be living here to experience the resulting
problems.
We intend to register for the October 19th Committee of Adjustment meeting, and have learned from our Councillor,
Debbie Chapman, that the only recourse after that is to appeal the decision at the Ontario Land Tribunal.
If there is anything else we can do to voice our opposition or have our concerns addressed, please let us know
Thanks,
