BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located on the southwestside of Edgehill Driveand is located
within the Pioneer Tower Westneighbourhood. The surrounding context of the subject
property is primarily comprised of low-rise residential uses.
Figure 1: Location Map-109 Edgehill Drive (Outlined in Red)
The subject property is identified asaCommunity AreaUrban Structure and
Low Rise Residential
Low Rise Residential OneZone (RES-1)Provision (272) and
Natural Conservation Zone (NHC-1)-law2019-051.The subject property is
also located within Ontario Regulation 41/24.
The purpose of the minor variance application is to review the request to permit an
increased height of an accessorybuilding to facilitate the construction of a pool house at
the rear of the subject property on a slope.
At the time of submission of the Minor Variance Application, the applicant requested relief
from Section 4.1 d) of Zoning By-law 2019-051 to permit a maximum height of 6.8 metres,
whereas a maximum height of 5.5metresto the underside of the fascia is permitted. Upon
further staff investigation it was determined that relief from Section 4.1d) to permit a
maximum height of 6.8 metres, whereas a maximum height of 3metresto the underside of
the fascia is permitted is the appropriate descriptionand not 5.5 metres as advertised.As
the purpose of the variance is to permit a maximum height of 6.8 metresto fascia, and the
variance will remain as shown on the submitted drawings, no additional notice or re-
advertisement is deemed to be required tobeconsidered.
Staff note that Building Permit # 24 113488 was previously approved and issued on June
28, 2024, to permit the construction of a one storey pool shed in the rear yard of a single
detached dwelling. The proposed variance is to permit an increase in height to the
underside of the fascia to add a second storey to the pool shed.

REPORT:
Planning Comments:
In considering the four tests for the 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
designation places emphasis on compatibility of building form with respect to massing,
scale, and design in order to support the successful integration of different housing types.
It also places emphasis on the relationship of housing to adjacent buildings, streets, and
exterior areas. The proposed use of the property conforms to the designation, and it is the
opinion of staff the requested variance to be able to construct a detached accessory
structure meets the general intent of the Official Plan.
General Intent of the Zoning By-law
The intent of the maximum height to the underside of the fascia is to ensure that
accessory structures are not excessive in height and to ensure neighbouring properties do
not have adverse impacts from large rear yard structures. Due to the slope of the property,
the rear of the property is significantly lower than the front portion where the dwelling is
located. The structure meets the 3-metre height to the fascia regulation at the front and
only the rear wall will be taller than what is permitted. There are also no rear yard
neighbours that would directly face the structure and be impacted by it. Staff is of the
opinion that the requested variance meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
Is/Are the Effects of the Variance(s) Minor?
The variance can be considered minor as it is the opinion of staff that the increase in
height will only impact the rear view of the property as from the front of the structure it will
meet the regulation. The increase of 3.8 metres for the fascia height at the rear of the
structure will not present any significant impacts to adjacent properties and the overall
neighbourhood.
Is/Are the Variance(s) Desirable For The Appropriate Development or Use of the Land,
Building and/or Structure?
The variance is appropriate for the development and use of the land as it will facilitate the
construction of the accessory structure, pool house, on a slope.
Environmental Planning Comments:
The work area for the pool/pool house construction is immediately upgradient of the NHC-
1 zone on the lot. This zoning reflects the extent of the Regionally Significant Woodland on
the property. Upgradient of the NHC-1 zone trees exist that may be in shared ownership
with neighbours.
1. The NHC-1 line should be shown on all plans.
2. Trees and their canopies/root zones in/adjacent to the construction in the RES zone
should be shown on the plans, and protectively fenced during construction (see (3)
below). Aaron Hill who provided plans can do this work for the applicant.
3. Erosion and Sediment fencing is shown on the GRCA permit plans and is required.
installed. The City, in order to protect trees to remain after pool / pool house
construction is complete, as well as prevent downstream sedimentation of the
wooded Grand River slope and Regionally Significant Woodland, recommends the
installation of post-and-paige wire tree protective fencing as specified in the
Tree Management Policy-
the GRCA permit, and in a revised location to protect trees to remain. Again, Aaron
Hill can advise the applicant on these measures and amend the plans accordingly.
Planning Staff note that a building permit for a one-storey pool shed, foundation, and its
location was already issued on June 28, 2024. The owner/applicant is advised of
Environmental Planning comments and these measures should be implemented as part of
their current Building Permit Application in progress.
Heritage Planning Comments:
No Heritage comments or concerns.
Building Division Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed variance provided building permit
for the pool house is obtained prior to construction.
Engineering Division Comments:
No concerns.
Parks/Operations Division Comments:
No comments or concerns.
Transportation Planning Comments:
Transportation Services have no concerns with this application.
Region of Waterloo Comments:
No concerns.
Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) Comments:
The GRCA has no objection to the proposed minor variance application.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
This report supports the delivery of core services.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Capital Budget The recommendation has no impact on the Capital Budget.
Operating Budget The recommendation has no impact on the Operating Budget.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
INFORM
of the Committee of Adjustment meeting. A notice sign was placed on the property
advising that a Committee of Adjustment application has been received. The sign advises
Planning Division. A notice of the application was mailed to all property owners within 30
metres of the subject property.

Dear Marilyn Mills,
Re: Application for Minor Variance A2024-073
109 Edgehill Drive, City of Kitchener
Todd and Magda Cober
Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) staff has reviewed the above-noted minor
variance application.
Recommendation
The GRCA has no objection to the proposed minor variance application.
GRCA Comments
GRCA has reviewed this application under the Mandatory Programs and Services
Regulation (Ontario Regulation 686/21), including acting on behalf of the Province
regarding natural hazards identified in Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement
(PPS, 2020), as a regulatory authority under Ontario Regulation 41/24, and as a public
body under the Planning Act as per our CA Board approved policies.
Information currently available at this office indicates that the subject property contains
floodplain, valley slopes, erosion hazard, and the regulated allowance adjacent to these
features.
Due to the presence of the above-noted features, a portion of the subject property is
regulated by the GRCA under Ontario Regulation 41/24 Prohibited Activities,
Exemptions and Permits Regulation. Any future development or other alteration within
the regulated area will require prior written approval from GRCA in the form of a permit
pursuant to Ontario Regulation 41/24.
The proposed minor variance application requests an increased accessory structure
height to facilitate the construction of a pool shed. GRCA recently issued Permit #391-
24 for the proposed pool shed and the plans circulated with this application are
consistent with the plans approved under the GRCA permit noted above. As such, the
GRCA has no objection to the approval of this minor variance application.
2024 approved fee schedule, this application is considered a
minorminor variance and the applicant will be invoiced in the amount of $300.00for
