REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:
• The purpose of this report is to review Minor Variance and Consent Applications to
facilitate a severance of a lot and creation of reciprocal servicing and access
easements for a property containing two cluster townhouse buildings, one with 10
dwelling units (71 Blucher Street) and one with 4 dwelling units (67 Blucher Street).
• The key finding of this report is that the minor variance meets the 4 tests of the
Planning Act, and that the proposed consents to sever the lot and create the
easements are appropriate to facilitate the functional access to the rear parking areas
on each of the resultant lots.
• There are no financial implications.
• Community engagement included a notice sign being placed on the property advising
that a Committee of Adjustment application has been received, notice of the
application was mailed to all property owners within 30 metres of the subject property
and this report was posted to the City's website with the agenda in advance of the
Committee of Adjustment meeting.
• This report supports the delivery of core services.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located on the south side of Blucher Street between Hett Avenue
and Ellis Street.
Figure 1: Location Map: 67-71 Blucher Street
The subject property is identified as a `Community Areas' on Map 2 — Urban Structure and
is designated `Low Rise Residential' on Map 3 — Land Use in the City's 2014 Official Plan.
The property is zoned `Low Rise Residential Five Zone (RES -5)' in Zoning By-law 2019-

The purpose of the Applications is to facilitate a severance of a lot and creation of
reciprocal servicing and access easements for a property containing two cluster
townhouse buildings, one having 10 dwelling units (71 Blucher Street) and the other
having 4 dwelling units (67 Blucher Street).
On March 22, 2024 the City granted Conditional Approval for Site Plan Application
SP23/084/B/TS to demolish the existing 4 -unit cluster townhouse building on 67 Blucher
Street and replace it with a two stacked townhouse buildings containing a total of 16
dwelling units.
On May 21, 2024 the Committee of Adjustment approved minor variance application
A2024-037 which granted relief for front yard setback, rear yard setback, and Floor Space
Ratio (FSR) for the proposed 16 -unit development, in the context of that development
occurring on the whole lot containing the existing 10 unit cluster townhouse building
addressed as 71 Blucher Street.
With the subject applications discussed in this report, the applicant is seeking to separate
the lot into two lots, one which would contain the existing 10 unit cluster townhouse
building on 71 Blucher (Severed lands) and one which would currently contain the 4 unit
cluster townhouse building and is proposed to be developed with two new stacked
townhouse buildings totalling 16 units on 67 Blucher Street (Retained lands).

It is noted that a Reference Plan and Building Location Survey were not provided and
submitted with the Consent Applications. The Applicant is submitting these applications
Page 12 of 197
with confidence that the existing building/foundation will coincide with the proposed lot
dimensions and setbacks, the proposed easement is in its correct location no other
easements are necessary and is proceeding with the applications at this time `at their
own risk'. A condition is proposed to be added to these types of Consent Approvals as
follows..
"That the Owner provide a Building Location Survey and/or Reference Plan,
prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor, to confirm the boundaries of the new
lots and that the location of the existing building/foundation, with respect to the
proposed new lot lines, conforms with the Zoning By-law to the satisfaction of
the Manager, Development Approvals. Failure to comply with the Zoning By-law
may result in additional Committee of Adjustment Applications at the Owner's
expense."
Should the setbacks of the building/dwelling not meet zoning requirements, the location
and/or configuration of the proposed easement is not correct, the Applicant will be required
to rectify and/or submit Committee of Adjustment Applications to resolve the errors and/or
deficiencies at their own expense.
REPORT:
Planning Comments Minor Variance Application A2025-127:
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
The subject property is designated `Low Rise Residential' in the Official Plan. The intent of
this designation is to encourage a range of different forms of housing to achieve a low
density neighbourhood. The requested variances will facilitate a shared driveway and
support the permitted uses and continue to maintain the low rise character of the
properties and surrounding neighbourhood. It is the opinion of staff that the requested
variances meet the general intent of the Official Plan.
General Intent of the Zoning By-law
Lot Width
The intent of the regulation that requires a minimum lot width of 19 metres is to ensure that
there is adequate lot size to accommodate a multiple dwelling building, along with
sufficient space and access to street frontage for site functionality including servicing,
access to parking areas, and waste collection. This regulation is intended for typical,
rectangular shaped lots. The proposed new lot configuration creates an irregular shaped
lot with a narrow access at the street line that widens significantly at the rear of the site.
While the frontage at the street line is 5.8 metres, this increases to approximately 30
metres in width in the portion of the lot containing the existing building. The 5.8 metre lot
width at the street line, along with the area proposed to be an access and servicing
easement created through a concurrent Consent Application (132025-035) on the 67
Page 13 of 197
Blucher Street property provides for sufficient site functionality in the opinion of staff and
therefore meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
Rear Yard Setback
The intent of the regulation that requires a minimum rear yard setback of 6 metres for a
cluster townhouse dwelling is to provide for adequate amenity space and adequate
building separation. The regulation is intended to apply to the rear of a building as it faces
a rear property line, or where a functional rear yard would typically be located. The existing
building at 71 Blucher Street is oriented as such that the functional rear yards face east,
towards the interior property line. These functional rear yards for the cluster townhouse
units are located 7.6 metres from that property line, demonstrating an adequate amenity
area and building separation. Therefore, the request for a reduction in rear yard setback
meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law in the opinion of staff.
Interior Side Yard Setback
The intent of the regulation that requires a minimum interior side yard setback of 4.5
metres for a cluster townhouse is to ensure adequate building separation. The requested
reduction in setback to 3 metres represents an existing building that faces the rear yards
of two existing detached dwellings facing Blucher Street. The adjacency to rear yards
demonstrates adequate building separation as the existing detached dwellings are located
approximately 24 metres from the rear lot line, totalling 27 metres of building separation.
Should the detached dwellings be redeveloped in the future, it would still provide a
minimum 7.5 metre rear yard setback and total building separation of 10.5 metres.
Therefore, the requested variance for reduction to interior side yard setback meets the
general intent of the Zoning By-law in the opinion of staff.
Is/Are the Effects of the Variance(s) Minor?
With respect to the lot width, staff are of the opinion that the site can function with a shared
access and do not expect adverse impacts or effects as a result of the request for a reduction
in lot width. With respect to the rear and interior side yard setbacks, this represents an
existing building and no changes to the building at 71 Blucher Street are proposed. In the
opinion of Staff, the effects of the requested variances can be considered minor.
Is/Are the Variance(s) Desirable For The Appropriate Development or Use of the Land,
Building and/or Structure?
The requested variances will facilitate the orderly development of the land with low rise
residential uses that are permitted in the Zoning By-law. The requested variances are
considered desirable for the appropriate development of the lands in the opinion of staff.
Planning Comments Consent Applications B2025-034 and 2025-035:
In considering all the relevant Provincial legislation, Regional and City policies and
regulations, Planning staff offer the following comments:
Provincial Planning Statement (PPS 2024)
Staff are satisfied that the proposed consent applications are consistent with the Provincial
Planning Statement in general and as it related to housing policies in Chapter 2 regarding
intensification and facilitating housing options. Section 2.2 1 (b) states that Planning
authorities shall provide for an appropriate range and mix of housing options and densities
Page 14 of 197
to meet projected needs of current and future residents of the regional market area by
permitting and facilitating all housing options required to meet the social, health, economic
and well-being requirements of current and future residents.
Regional Official Plan (ROP):
ROP Urban Area policies state that the focus of the Region's future growth shall be within
the Urban Area. The subject lands fall within the `Urban Area' and are designated `Built -Up
Area' in the ROP. The proposed development conforms to Policy 2. D.1 of the ROP as this
neighbourhood provides for the physical and community infrastructure required for the
proposed residential development, including transportation networks, municipal water and
wastewater systems, and a broad range of social and public health services. Regional
polices require municipalities to plan for a range of housing in terms of form, tenure,
density, and affordability to satisfy the various physical, social, economic, and personal
support needs of current and future residents. Staff are satisfied that the proposed
Consent Applications adhere to these policies and conforms to the ROP.
City's Official Plan (2014)
The subject property is identified as `Community Areas' on Map 2 — Urban Structure and is
designated `Low Rise Residential' on Map 3 — Land Use in the City's Official Plan.
Section 17.E.20 of the Official Plan implements Section 51 of the Planning Act and
contains policies regarding infill development and lot creation (Consent Policies). Policy
17.E.20.5 states the following:
"17.E.20.5 Applications for consent to create new lots will only be granted where:
i) the lots comply with the policies of this Plan, any Community Plan
and/or Secondary Plan, and that the lots are in conformity with the
Zoning By-law, or a minor variance has been granted to correct any
deficiencies;
ii) the lots reflect the general scale and character of the established
development pattern of surrounding lands by taking into consideration
lot frontages, areas, and configurations;
iii) all of the criteria for plan of subdivision are given due consideration;
iv) the lot will have frontage on a public street;
V) municipal water services are available;
vi) municipal sanitary services are available except in accordance with
Policy 14.C.1.19;
vii) a Plan of Subdivision or Condominium has been deemed not to be
necessary for proper and orderly development; and,
viii) the lot(s) will not restrict the ultimate development of adjacent
properties."
Page 15 of 197
Staff are satisfied that the proposed consent applications to sever into two lots with
easements for shared access and servicing meets the criteria set out in Policy 17.E.20.5
of the Official Plan. Although the resultant lot fabrics are irregular in shape and width at the
street line, the original lot is irregular in shape and represents an existing condition within
the neighbourhood. Further, the shared access will result in a situation whereas legally
there will be two (2) lots but will they appear to function as one (1) lot.
Section 17.E.20.4 of the Official plan states: Consents may be permitted for the creation of
a new lot, boundary adjustments, rights of -way, easements, long-term leases and to
convey additional lands to an abutting lot provided an undersized lot is not created.
The applications are requesting consent to create easements on both the severed and
retained lots for the purposes of shared servicing and access. Staff are satisfied that the
consent to create easements is appropriate for the orderly development of the lands.

The subject property is zoned as `Low Rise Residential Five Zone (RES -5)' in Zoning By-
law 2019-051. Minor variances for lot width and yard setbacks as part of concurrent Minor
Variance Application A2025-127 have been discussed in this report.
Planning Conclusions/Comments:
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 lots are
desirable and appropriate. The severed lands front onto an established public street and
are serviced with municipal services. Staff is further of the opinion that the proposal is
consistent with the Region of Waterloo Official Plan, the Provincial Planning Statement,
and is good planning and in the public interest.
With respect to the criteria for granting easements contained in Section 54(2) of the
Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, staff is satisfied that the creation of reciprocal access
easements to facilitate shared access and servicing is desirable and appropriate.

Environmental Planning Comments:
Please include the standard consent condition to enter into an agreement to complete,
submit, obtain approval of, and implement a Tree Preservation and Enhancement Plan for
both the severed and retained lots. Shared ownership trees may be a concern.
Heritage Planning Comments:
The property municipally addressed as 71 Blucher Street has no heritage status. However,

Page 18 of 197
Region of Waterloo Comments:
The applicant/owner is proposing consent to sever to create a new residential lot and to
create reciprocal easements for shared access/servicing. The lot to be severed (71
Blucher) contains an existing linear townhouse building (10 units). The lot to be retained
(67 Blucher) contains an existing linear townhouse building (4 units) which would be
demolished to in order to develop two 8 -unit linear stacked townhouse (total of 16 units).
The subject lands are currently serviced through municipal water and waste services,
with access to a local road. Minor variance applications are required to facilitate the
consent for the severed lands, pertaining to lot width, and setbacks. The lands were
subject to Stamp B Site Plan Approval (SP23/073/B/TS) in Feb 2024 to formalize
existing conditions. SP23/084/B/TS conditional site plan approval was granted in March

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:
• The purpose of this report is to review Minor Variance and Consent Applications to
facilitate a severance of a lot and creation of reciprocal access easements for a
property containing two cluster townhouse buildings, one with 10 dwelling units (71
Blucher Street) and one with 4 dwelling units (67 Blucher Street).
• The key finding of this report is that the minor variance meets the 4 tests of the
Planning Act, and that the proposed consents to sever the lot and create the
easements are appropriate to facilitate the functional access to the rear parking areas
on each of the resultant lots.
• There are no financial implications.
• Community engagement included a notice sign being placed on the property advising
that a Committee of Adjustment application has been received, notice of the
application was mailed to all property owners within 30 metres of the subject property
Page 25 of 197
and this report was posted to the City's website with the agenda in advance of the
Committee of Adjustment meeting.
• This report supports the delivery of core services.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located on the south side of Blucher Street between Hett Avenue
and Ellis Street.
U
�i
Figure 1: Location Map:67-71 Blucher Street
The subject property is identified as a `Community Areas' on Map 2 — Urban Structure and
is designated `Low Rise Residential' on Map 3 — Land Use in the City's 2014 Official Plan.
The property is zoned `Low Rise Residential Five Zone (RES -5)' in Zoning By-law 2019-
051.
The purpose of the application is to facilitate a severance of a lot and creation of reciprocal
access easements for a property containing two cluster townhouse buildings, one with 10
dwelling units (71 Blucher Street) and one with 4 dwelling units (67 Blucher Street).
On March 22, 2024 the City granted Conditional Approval for Site Plan Application
SP23/084/B/TS to demolish the existing 4 -unit cluster townhouse building on 67 Blucher
Street and replace it with a two stacked townhouse buildings containing a total of 16
dwelling units.
On May 21, 2024 the Committee of Adjustment approved minor variance application
A2024-037 which granted relief for front yard setback, rear yard setback, and Floor Space
Ratio (FSR) for the proposed 16 -unit development, in the context of that development
occurring on the whole lot containing the existing 10 unit cluster townhouse building
addressed as 71 Blucher Street.
Page 26 of 197
With the subject applications discussed in this report, the applicant is seeking to separate
the lot into two lots, one which would contain the existing 10 unit cluster townhouse
building on 71 Blucher (Severed lands) and one which would currently contain the 4 unit
cluster townhouse building and is proposed to be developed with two new stacked
townhouse buildings totalling 16 units on 67 Blucher Street (Retained lands).

It is noted that a Reference Plan and Building Location Survey were not provided and
submitted with the Consent Applications. The Applicant is submitting these applications
Page 28 of 197
with confidence that the existing building/foundation will coincide with the proposed lot
dimensions and setbacks, the proposed easement is in its correct location no other
easements are necessary and is proceeding with the applications at this time `at their
own risk'. A new condition is proposed to be added to these types of Consent Approvals
as follows:
"That the Owner provide a Building Location Survey and/or Reference Plan,
prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor, to confirm the boundaries of the new
lots and that the location of the existing building/foundation, with respect to the
proposed new lot lines, conforms with the Zoning By-law to the satisfaction of
the Manager, Development Approvals."
Should the setbacks of the building/dwelling not meet zoning requirements, the location
and/or configuration of the proposed easement is not correct, the Applicant will be required
to rectify and/or submit Committee of Adjustment Applications to resolve the errors and/or
deficiencies at their own expense.
REPORT:
Planning Comments Minor Variance Application A2025-127:
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
The subject property is designated `Low Rise Residential' in the Official Plan. The intent of
this designation is to encourage a range of different forms of housing to achieve a low
density neighbourhood. The requested variances will facilitate a shared driveway and
support the permitted uses and continue to maintain the low rise character of the
properties and surrounding neighbourhood. It is the opinion of staff that the requested
variances meet the general intent of the Official Plan.
General Intent of the Zonina By-law
Lot Width
The intent of the regulation that requires a minimum lot width of 19 metres is to ensure that
there is adequate lot size to accommodate a multiple dwelling building, along with
sufficient space and access to street frontage for site functionality including servicing,
access to parking areas, and waste collection. This regulation is intended for typical,
rectangular shaped lots. The proposed new lot configuration creates an irregular shaped
lot with a narrow access at the street line that widens significantly at the rear of the site.
While the frontage at the street line is 5.8 metres, this increases to approximately 30
metres in width in the portion of the lot containing the existing building. The 5.8 metre lot
width at the street line, along with the area proposed to be an access and servicing
easement created through a concurrent Consent Application (132025-035) on the 67
Blucher Street property provides for sufficient site functionality in the opinion of staff and
therefore meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
Page 29 of 197
Rear Yard Setback
The intent of the regulation that requires a minimum rear yard setback of 6 metres for a
cluster townhouse dwelling is to provide for adequate amenity space and adequate
building separation. The regulation is intended to apply to the rear of a building as it faces
a rear property line, or where a functional rear yard would typically be located. The existing
building at 71 Blucher Street is oriented as such that the functional rear yards face east,
towards the interior property line. These functional rear yards for the cluster townhouse
units are located 7.6 metres from that property line, demonstrating an adequate amenity
area and building separation. Therefore, the request for a reduction in rear yard setback
meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law in the opinion of staff.
Interior Side Yard Setback
The intent of the regulation that requires a minimum interior side yard setback of 4.5
metres for a cluster townhouse is to ensure adequate building separation. The requested
reduction in setback to 3 metres represents an existing building that faces the rear yards
of two existing detached dwellings facing Blucher Street. The adjacency to rear yards
demonstrates adequate building separation as the existing detached dwellings are located
approximately 24 metres from the rear lot line, totalling 27 metres of building separation.
Should the detached dwellings be redeveloped in the future, it would still provide a
minimum 7.5 metre rear yard setback and total building separation of 10.5 metres.
Therefore, the requested variance for reduction to interior side yard setback meets the
general intent of the Zoning By-law in the opinion of staff.
Is/Are the Effects of the Variance(s) Minor?
With respect to the lot width, staff are of the opinion that the site can function with a shared
access and do not expect adverse impacts or effects as a result of the request for a reduction
in lot width. With respect to the rear and interior side yard setbacks, this represents an
existing building and no changes to the building at 71 Blucher Street are proposed. In the
opinion of Staff, the effects of the requested variances can be considered minor.
Is/Are the Variance(s) Desirable For The Appropriate Development or Use of the Land,
Building and/or Structure?
The requested variances will facilitate the orderly development of the land with low rise
residential uses that are permitted in the Zoning By-law. The requested variances are
considered desirable for the appropriate development of the lands in the opinion of staff.
Planning Comments Consent Application B2025-034 & 2025-035:
In considering all the relevant Provincial legislation, Regional and City policies and
regulations, Planning staff offer the following comments:
Provincial Planning Statement (PPS 2024)
Staff are satisfied that the proposed consent applications are consistent with the Provincial
Planning Statement in general and as it related to housing policies in Chapter 2 regarding
intensification and facilitating housing options. Section 2.2 1 (b) states that Planning
authorities shall provide for an appropriate range and mix of housing options and densities
to meet projected needs of current and future residents of the regional market area by
permitting and facilitating all housing options required to meet the social, health, economic
and well-being requirements of current and future residents.
Page 30 of 197
Regional Official Plan (ROP):
ROP Urban Area policies state that the focus of the Region's future growth shall be within
the Urban Area. The subject lands fall within the `Urban Area' and are designated `Built -Up
Area' in the ROP. The proposed development conforms to Policy 2. D.1 of the ROP as this
neighbourhood provides for the physical and community infrastructure required for the
proposed residential development, including transportation networks, municipal water and
wastewater systems, and a broad range of social and public health services. Regional
polices require municipalities to plan for a range of housing in terms of form, tenure,
density, and affordability to satisfy the various physical, social, economic, and personal
support needs of current and future residents. Staff are satisfied that the proposed consent
applications adhere to these policies and conforms to the ROP.
City's Official Plan (2014)
The subject property is identified as `Community Areas' on Map 2 — Urban Structure and is
designated `Low Rise Residential' on Map 3 — Land Use in the City's Official Plan.
Section 17.E.20 of the Official Plan implements Section 51 of the Planning Act and
contains policies regarding infill development and lot creation (Consent Policies). Policy
17.E.20.5 states the following:
"17.E.20.5 Applications for consent to create new lots will only be granted where:
a) the lots comply with the policies of this Plan, any Community Plan
and/or Secondary Plan, and that the lots are in conformity with the
Zoning By-law, or a minor variance has been granted to correct any
deficiencies;
b) the lots reflect the general scale and character of the established
development pattern of surrounding lands by taking into consideration
lot frontages, areas, and configurations;
c) all of the criteria for plan of subdivision are given due consideration;
d) the lot will have frontage on a public street;
e) municipal water services are available;
f) municipal sanitary services are available except in accordance with
Policy 14.C.1.19;
g) a Plan of Subdivision or Condominium has been deemed not to be
necessary for proper and orderly development; and,
h) the lot(s) will not restrict the ultimate development of adjacent
properties."
Staff are satisfied that the proposed consent applications to sever into two lots with
easements for shared access and servicing meets the criteria set out in Policy 17.E.20.5
Page 31 of 197
of the Official Plan. Although the resultant lot fabrics are irregular in shape and width at the
street line, the original lot is irregular in shape and represents an existing condition within
the neighbourhood. Further, the shared access will result in a situation whereas legally it is
two lots but will appear to function as one lot.
Section 17.E.20.4 of the Official plan states, Consents may be permitted for the creation of
a new lot, boundary adjustments, rights of -way, easements, long-term leases and to
convey additional lands to an abutting lot provided an undersized lot is not created.
The applications are requesting consent to create easements on both the severed and
retained lots. Staff are satisfied that the consent to create easements is appropriate for the
orderly development of the lands.

The subject property is zoned as `Low Rise Residential Five Zone (RES -5)' in Zoning By-
law 2019-051. Minor variances for lot width and yard setbacks as part of concurrent Minor
Variance Application A2025-127 have been discussed in this report.
Planning Conclusions/Comments:
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 lots are
desirable and appropriate. The severed lands front onto an established public street and
are serviced with municipal services. Staff is further of the opinion that the proposal is
consistent with the Region of Waterloo Official Plan, the Provincial Planning Statement,
and is good planning and in the public interest.
With respect to the criteria for granting easements contained in Section 54(2) of the
Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, staff is satisfied that the creation of reciprocal access
easements to facilitate shared access and servicing is desirable and appropriate.
Page 32 of 197
Environmental Planning Comments:
Please include the standard consent condition to enter into an agreement to complete,
submit, obtain approval of, and implement a Tree Preservation and Enhancement Plan for
both the severed and retained lots. Shared ownership trees may be a concern.
Heritage Planning Comments:
The property municipally addressed as 71 Blucher Street has no heritage status. However,
it is located within the Mt. Hope/Breithaupt Neighborhood Cultural Heritage Landscape
(CHL). The Kitchener Cultural Heritage Landscape Study (CHLS) dated December 2014
and prepared by The Landplaned Collaborative Ltd. was approved by Council in 2015.
The CHLS serves to establish an inventory and was the first step of a phased Cultural
Heritage Landscape (CHL) conservation process. The proposed severance is not
anticipated to have any adverse impacts to the CHL's attributes. Thus, staff have no
comments or concerns.
The property municipally addressed as 67 & 71 Blucher Street is located within the Mt.
Hope/Breithaupt Neighborhood Cultural Heritage Landscape (CHL). The Kitchener
Cultural Heritage Landscape Study (CHLS) dated December 2014 and prepared by The
Landplan Collaborative Ltd. was approved by Council in 2015. The CHLS serves to
establish an inventory and was the first step of a phased Cultural Heritage Landscape
(CHL) conservation process. The proposed easement is not anticipated to have any
adverse impacts to the CHL's attributes. Thus, staff have no comments or concerns.
Building Division Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed consent provided for the retained land:
1. A qualified designer is retained to complete a Building Code Assessment as it relates to
the new proposed property line and any of the building adjacent to this new property line
shall addresses such items as: Spatial separation of existing buildings' wall face to the
satisfaction of the Chief Building Official. Closing in of openings may be required, pending
spatial separation calculation results.
2. A Building Permit shall be obtained for any remedial work/ upgrades that may be
required by the building code assessment.
Engineering Division Comments:
