The Committee was advised that the applicant requests permission for a reduction of the required
setback from a street line for an off-street parking space from 6 m (19.68 ft.) to 0 m, in order to
install a driveway and provide a parking space for the existing single detached dwelling.
The Committee was in receipt, this date, of a revised plan of the subject property, noting the
actual size of the front porch, the length of the front yard, the locations of plantings in the front
yard, the location for the proposed driveway/parking space, and the distance between the front lot
line and the City sidewalk. The plan also shows the portion of the subject property used by the
neighbouring property, in order to exit their vehicles while parked in their own driveway on the
abutting lot.

Mr. Gordon advised there are bushes on either side of the stairs to the front porch. Also, the
water shut-off valve is in the front yard, and is surrounded by concrete. He stated he would like to
put a garden around the shut-off valve so it remains accessible. Further, they propose to reduce
the width of the driveway/parking space to 10ft. from the previously requested 12.5 ft., to address
Mr. Morscher's concerns that it may be used as a double driveway. Mr. & Mrs. Gordon requested
permission to amend their application to allow a parking space to be located 0 m from the front lot
line, which is to be 4.62 m (15.17 ft.) long.
Mr. Morscher addressed the Committee commending the work done by Mr. & Mrs. Gordon in
renovating this property. He advised he still has some concerns about the proposal, as the
parking space will be shorter than a standard parking space, and he is concerned the vehicle will
overhang the sidewalk. He recommended the City initiate a permitting system in the older areas
of the City to allow on-street parking for properties that do not have sufficient room on-site for
parking. He also advised that he was unaware his tenants were using the front yard of this
property when existing their vehicles and would speak to them in this regard.
Ms. 1. Malone-Wright advised the required length for a parking stall is 18 ft., and the property
owners will have to apply to the City's Engineering Division for permission to cut the curb to install
the new driveway.

That the application of Karen-Lynn Fenlon and Brodie Gordon requesting permission to install a
driveway/parking space in the front yard, to have a length of 4.62 m (15.17 ft.) rather than the
required 5.48 m (18 ft.), with the parking space to be located 0 m from the front lot line rather than
the required 6 m (19.68 ft.) on Part Lot 16, Registered Plan 367,126 Church Street, Kitchener,
Ontario, BE APPROVED, subject to the following conditions:
1. That the variance as approved in this application shall be for the driveway/parking space
as shown on the plan submitted to the Committee of Adjustment on July 12, 2005.
2. That prior to installing the proposed driveway/parking space, the owners shall submit a site
plan sketch identifying the type of surface treatment to be used for the parking space, and
the landscaping treatment to be used for the remainder of the front yard.
3. That the owners shall apply to the City's Engineering Division for permission to cut the
curb to install the new driveway/parking space.
It is the opinion of this Committee that:
1. The variance requested in this application is minor in nature.
2. This application is desirable for the appropriate development of the property.
3. The general intent and purpose of the City of Kitchener Zoning By-law and Municipal Plan
is being maintained on the subject property.

The Committee was advised that the applicant requests permission to extend and enlarge a legal
non-conforming use to allow the construction of an 83 m2 (893.43 sq. ft.) addition at the rear of
the existing religious institution.
The Committee considered the report of the Development & Technical Services Department,
dated July 6, 2005, in which staff advise that the subject property is located within a General
Industrial area, and is zoned General Industrial Zone (M-2). Recently the City, through a
housekeeping by-law, prohibited religious institutions in Industrial zones, thus rendering the
existing Temple as legal non-conforming. The applicant wishes to add 83 m2 of new floor area to
the existing 337 m2 building. The current approved site plan for the subject property shows the
location of 8 parking spaces at the front of the building and a paved area at the rear of the
building. The religious institutional use with 8 parking spaces is considered legal non-conforming.
If the parking requirements for a religious institution were to be applied to the building on the
subject property, 8 parking spaces would be required based on the floor area within the building
used as a place of worship. The applicant has provided a preliminary site plan to show the
location of 15 parking spaces at the rear of the building, not including the previously approved 8
parking spaces at the front of the building. Planning staff are satisfied that sufficient parking can
be provided on site to accommodate the proposed 83 m2 of new floor area. The applicant will be
required to submit a full site plan application to facilitate the addition should the application to
expand a legal non-conforming use be approved.
The general test for enlarging a legal non-conforming use is whether the proposed changes will
substantially perpetuate the legal non-conforming use. In this case the Temple operates out of a
converted industrial building. The proposed addition is relatively small in comparison to the
existing building. The building could very easily be converted back to an industrial use. As such
the enlargement of the building will not perpetuate the use as a Temple, and Planning staff
recommend the application be approved.
The Committee considered the comments of the Region of Waterloo Transportation Planner,
dated July 3, 2005, advising they have no concerns with this application.
Mr. Berschl stated the purpose of this addition is to add a classroom to the building. The addition
will be relatively small, and will not impact the neighbours. Through further discussion it was
determined there is sufficient on-site parking for the existing institutional use.

Street, Kitchener, Ontario, BE APPROVED, subject to the following conditions:

the plan submitted with this application.
2. That the owner shall receive site plan approval from the City of Kitchener, prior to
constructing the proposed addition.

existed as of the date the by-law was passed to preclude such use as a permitted use, and the
property has continued to be used in such manner since the day the by-law was passed.

The Committee was advised that the applicant requests a reduction of the minimum side yard
setback requirement from 1.2 m (3.93 ft.) to 0 m to legalize the location of an existing one-storey
addition, on the westerly side of the house, having a floor area of 13.3 m2 (143.16 ft.).
The Committee considered the report of the Development & Technical Services Department,
dated July 5, 2005, in which they advise that the intent and purpose of the side yard setback is to
ensure adequate separation between buildings on properties and to allow for access and
maintenance of those buildings. The R-3 zone requires all dwellings to be located a minimum
distance of 1.2 m from the side property line. In the case of the subject property, with a reduction
of the required side yard setback to 0 m, there is no access to the exterior of the addition and it is
questionable as to whether there is any encroachment of the eaves or the addition itself onto the
neighbouring property at 90 Randerson Avenue. While the addition may have been constructed
with maintenance free materials and contains no window openings on the exterior wall, the
reduction of the side yard requirement to 0 m would not meet the intent of the zoning by-law. A
maintenance easement over the adjacent property at 90 Randerson Avenue would be a possible
solution to the access issue for any future maintenance of the structure. In terms of impact on
adjacent properties and the streetscape, the impact can be considered minimal as the small
addition abuts a carport on the adjacent property, and is located toward the rear of the existing
dwelling and is fully screened from view of the street.
In the report, the Building Division advises they have concerns over the variance, as to whether
the addition conforms to the Ontario Building Code. As an example, they cited that the left side
wall requires a % hour fire resistance rating and non combustible cladding, the new exterior door
swings over the risers of the stair and no landing is provided. The addition may have been
created to avoid water entering the house, and staff sympathise with the occupants; however, this
solution does not fit the problem. Staff questioned whether the eavestrough on the property
encroaches onto the neighbouring lands and also cite that the addition was probable built without
the benefit of the building permit.
The Committee considered the comments of the Region of Waterloo Transportation Planner,
dated July 3, 2005, advising they have no concerns with this application.
Mr. Walton provided a brief history to this situation, noting there has been a retaining wall with a
fence above at this location. These measures had been taken to resolve a problem with flooding.
The walls of the shed have been erected in the same location as the previous fence. A building
contractor was hired to do this work, who advised a building permit was not required as the
structure is a shed. Further, they approached the abutting neighbour about the application, who
has signed a form to say they have no objection to the requested variance.
The Chair advised Mr. Walton of the importance of a need for a building permit, and the necessity
of a maintenance agreement on the neighbouring property if the addition is to remain in its current
location.
It was generally agreed that consideration of this application be deferred to the Committee of
Adjustment meeting scheduled for Tuesday, August 16, 2005, and prior to the meeting the
applicant should meet with the City's Building staff to resolve any Building Code issues, and with
the abutting neighbour respecting a maintenance easement.

The Committee was advised that the applicant requests a reduction of the minimum rear yard
setback requirement from 7.5 m (24.6 ft.) to 4.8 m (15.74 ft.) in order to be able to construct a
covered porch at the rear of a proposed single detached dwelling.
The Committee considered the report of the Development & Technical Services Department,
dated July 5, 2005, in which staff advise they have no objection to the application.
The Committee considered the comments of the Region of Waterloo Transportation Planner,
dated July 3, 2005, advising they have no concerns with this application.
Mr. Schneider provided the Committee, this date, with a written submission from Deer Ridge
Estates, dated July 11, 2005, in support of this application. Mr. Schneider advised this property
backs on to parkland, so the rear covered porch will not infringe on any neighbours. The building
is at the foundation stage, and although the foundation for the porch has been poured, no roof
has been erected over the porch; the variance is being required only due to the roof over the
porch.

Ms. Horne explained that when the zoning by-law requiring the 18 m setback was adopted, this
property was part of a lotless block in a registered plan, and this lotless block backed onto
Bleams Road. The block of land has since been further subdivided, and there is another lot
between the subject property and Bleams Road, giving a separation between the rear lot line of
the subject property and Bleams Road of more than 18 m.

The Committee was advised that the applicant requests permission to locate a new driveway 0 m
from the intersection of the street lines abutting a lot rather than the required 9 m (29.52 ft.).
The Committee considered the report of the Development & Technical Services Department,
dated July 5, 2005, advising they have no concerns with this application, subject to the applicant
maintaining a 4.57 m driveway visibility triangle.
The Committee considered the comments of the Region of Waterloo Transportation Planner,

Mr. Perrella advised the Committee that there is an existing driveway on the property, and they
would like to install a second driveway on the other side of the house for convenience of access,
because of the grade differential on this lot. He stated that if he must maintain a 9 m separation
from the intersection for the driveway, there would need to be a substantial bend in the driveway.
Further, there is a large tree at the front of the property, a hydro pole with a guide wire, and a fire
hydrant, all of which can be avoided with a 0 m setback from the intersection. Mr. Perrella
advised the existing driveway and garage will remain on the property.

The Committee was advised that the applicant requests consent to sever the subject property into
two separate parcels of land. The severed parcel would have a lot width on Wellington Street
South of 20.1 m (65.94 ft.), a depth of approximately 163.4 m (536.08 ft.) and a lot area of 5,459
m2 (58,762.1 sq. ft.) and would contain an existing restaurant. The retained parcel would have a
lot width on King Street West of 115.6 m (379.26 ft.), a depth of approximately 170.3 m (558.72
ft.) and a lot area of 7,799 m2 (83,950.48 sq. ft.), and would contain an existing commercial plaza
and restaurant. The applicant also requests consent for a shared right-of-way over the existing
parking areas and access areas to allow both the severed and retained lands reciprocal access
over each others properties.
The Committee considered the report of the Development & Technical Services Department,
dated July 7, 2005, in which they advise that the subject property is located on the south side of
King Street West between Wellington Street South and Victoria Street South. It is currently
developed with a commercial retail plaza and two restaurant uses. The property is zoned Arterial
Commercial Zone (C-6) with special regulation 302 and is designated as mixed use corridor in the
Municipal Plan. The applicant proposes to sever a portion of the property to create a new lot that
will contain one of the existing restaurants. The lands proposed to be severed would have a lot
COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT
132
JULY 12, 2005
1. Submission No.: B 2005-037 (Cont'd)
width of 20.1 m and and area of 5,459 m2. The retained lands will have a lot width of 115.6 m
and an area of 7,799 m2 which will contain an existing restaurant and commercial plaza.
With respect to the criteria for the subdivision of land listed in Section 51 (24) of the Planning Act,
the uses of both the severed and retained parcels are in conformity with the City's Municipal Plan,
the lands front on an established public street, and are compatible in size with the lots in the
surrounding area. Both parcels meet the zoning requirements and the size of the proposed
parcels is suitable for the existing development. The plans submitted with this application show a
westerly severance line on the retained parcel which splits existing parking stalls. A revised site
plan will be required for both parcels to ensure adequate parking and parking aisle widths are
provided. It is also noted that the submitted plan no longer shows the proposed 4 bay self serve
car wash which was approved in May 2003. If the applicant is no longer proceeding with this
development, the approval for site plan application SPR 03/04/K/CB should be withdrawn,
otherwise the development should be shown on the revised site plan.
There is also a concern that further easements and/or rights-of-way may be required to address
current servicing of the severed and retained parcels. Planning has not yet received comments
from Engineering but conditions relating to this issue have been included in the recommendation
which should be confirmed by the Engineering Division. Development and Technical Services
Department staff recommend approval of this application, subject to certain conditions.
The Committee considered the comments of the Region of Waterloo Planning Housing &
Community Services, dated July 6, 2005, in which they advise that the subject lands have been
identified as a "known" contaminated site within the Region's contaminated sites database.
Regional staff do not know if the contamination identified on the subject lands would pose a
health or safety risk to the proposed or future use of the property. As the subject lands are not
located within a Regional Well Field, the Regional Municipality of Waterloo does not have a direct
corporate interest which would result in the Region requesting a Record of Site Condition
imposed on its behalf. If the Committee decides to impose a Record of Site Condition or other
similar requirements, it should be imposed as the condition of the Committee, with the
Committee, not the Region, responsible for its release. Regional staff have no objections to this
application.
The Committee considered correspondence from Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro Inc., dated June 30,
2005, requesting that if this application is approved, the owner be required to make arrangements
with them for provision of electrical servicing, including granting any easements they may require.
Mr. Hardacre explained the application, noting the property is to be divided into two separate
holdings with reciprocal easements for access and parking. He advised he has reviewed all
comments from staff and agrees with them, noting the Region has not requested a Record of Site
Condition and stating he does not believe one should be imposed by this Committee.
When questioned concerning identifying those parts of the property which will be subject to the
easements, Mr. Hardacre advised they intend to apply the easement for access and parking to all
the lands to be severed and all the lands to be retained which are not covered with buildings.
The Committee generally agreed the easement lands should be shown as separate parts on the
reference plan, if required to register the easements.
