Dear Marilyn Mills,
Re: Application for Minor Variance A 2025-076
221 Sydney Street South, City of Kitchener
Rachel Thiessen
via email
Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) staff has reviewed the above -noted minor
variance application requesting a reduced rear yard setback.
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 5.2 of the Provincial Planning Statement
(PPS, 2024), 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 is within
the regulated allowance adjacent to the floodplain associated with Schneider Creek. A
copy of GRCA's resource mapping is attached.
Due to the presence of the above -noted features, most 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.
It is understood that the proposed minor variance application requests a reduced year
yard setback to facilitate the creation of an additional dwelling unit within the existing
garage. The GRCA has no objection to the proposed minor variance application but we
note that additional information will be required as part of a complete permit application
for the proposed renovations. Pre -consultation with GRCA staff is recommended to
determine submission requirements for a complete GRCA permit application.

Consistent with GRCA's approved fee schedule, this application is considered a `minor'
minor variance and the applicant will be invoiced in the amount of $300.00 for GRCA's
