COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT 35 FEBRUARY 14, 2006
1. Submission No.: A 2005-062 tCont'd)
The Committee considered the report of the City's Traffic & Parking Analyst, dated February 3,
2006, advising that in light of the subject property being surrounded with both on-street parking
and a commercial parking lot, they recommend approval of a parking decrease from 3 spaces to
2 spaces for the commercial requirement. While they cannot comment on the legal non-
conforming parking for the residential component, they note that from a practical standpoint any
tenant(s) having a vehicle may have a difficult time with the tandem parking.
The Committee considered the report of the Region of Waterloo, Transportation Planner, dated
February 6, 2006, advising they have no concerns with this application.
Mr. Nowak advised the Committee that this property was developed in the early 1950's. There
are 2 apartment units in the front of the building and a commercial component in the rear. There
is now a new commercial use, being the sale of crafts, paint and artwork. There is enough room
in the driveway for 2 tandem parking spaces, and only 1 residential tenant has a car. Further,
there is all kinds of public parking in this area.
Mr. R. Parent advised that parking for the residential units is legal non-conforming, and the
commercial component requires 3 parking spaces, but can only provide 2. He also advised that
there is public parking available on the street, and a commercial parking lot next door. He agreed
with the Chair that any approval should be relative to the specific use.
When questioned, Mr. Nowak advised that the hours of operation for the shop are afternoons,
early evenings and Saturdays.
The committee generally agreed that any approval will be relative to the specific use.

Written Submissions: Mr. W. G. Sawh
The Committee was advised that the applicant requests permission to construct an attached
carport with a southerly side yard of 0.5 m. (1.64 ft) rather than 1.2 m. (3.93 ft.).
The Committee considered the report of the City's Planning Division, dated February 3, 2006,
advising they have no concerns with this application provided that there is no fence or other
attachment to the carport, that any eavestrough does not encroach onto the adjacent property
and provided all drainage is directed to the applicant's property.
The Committee considered the report of the City's Manager of Building, dated February 3, 2006,

opposition to this application, as he had a similar application refused.

neighbour's objections, Ms. Anderson advised her driveway is of a double width, and it is the only
driveway of that width on the street.

COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT 37 FEBRUARY 14, 2006

Applicant: Eastforest Homes
Property Location: 44 Henhoeffer Crescent
Legal Description: Lot 44, Registered Plan 58M-308

Submission No.: A 2006-016
Applicant: Eastforest Homes
Property Location: 51 Henhoeffer Crescent
Legal Description: Lot 56, Registered Plan 58M-308
Appearances:
In Support: Mr. K. Hillis
Contra: None
Written Submissions: None
Mr. P. Britton advised that he, as a planning consultant, worked on this plan of subdivision on
behalf of the subdivider. He questioned Mr. Hillis as to who owns this lot, and whether the sale of
this lot is contingent on the approval of these applications. Mr. Hillis advised these lots are owned
by Eastforest Homes, and his client is a small builder. Further, the offer to purchase is not
contingent on this application. Mr. Britton offered to stand down if Mr. Hillis so wished, and Mr.
Hillis advised that would not be necessary.
The Committee was advised that in Submission No. A 2006-015 the applicant requests
permission to construct a driveway such that a portion of the driveway will be 8.4 m (27.55 ft.)
from the intersection of Henhoeffer Crescent and Henhoeffer Court rather than 9 m (29.52 ft.).
The Committee was further advised that in Submission No. A 2006-016, the applicant requests
permission to construct a driveway such that a portion of the driveway will be 8.4 m (27.55 ft.)
from the intersection of Henhoeffer Crescent and Henhoeffer Court rather than 9 m (29.52 ft.).
The Committee considered the report of the City's Planning Division, dated February 3, 2006,
advising the applications do no meet the intent of the Zoning By-law and therefore should be
refused.
Several years ago the City worked with the Development Industry to amend the Zoning By-law
requirement with respect to the driveway setback for residential corner lots. The requirement was
changed to a 9.0 m setback from the intersection. Since that time, there have been several
instances where builders propose to construct a dwelling on a corner lot that perhaps has a larger
garage or dwelling than can adequately fit on the lot and maintain the driveway setback
requirement. In some cases, the builder has proposed driveways at "awkward" angles or designs
in order to try and meet the 9.Om requirement at the street line.
As a result, this past year the City amended the Zoning By-law again in order to require that the
entire length of the driveway be straight and maintain the 9.0 m setback to the garage. The
driveway design on the subject two lots continues to propose angled driveways and clearly does
not meet the intent of the Zoning By-law.
Staff recommends that for corner lots, such as the subject properties, (which are `different' lots)
that the builder considers a `different' house design, and in this case it may not be a double-car
garage.
The Committee considered the report of the Region of Waterloo Transportation Planner, dated
February 6, 2006, advising they have no concerns with these applications.
COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT 38 FEBRUARY 14, 2006
3. Submission No.: A 2006-015 and A 2006-016 tCont'd)
The Chair questioned whether Mr. Hillis was aware of the change in zoning by-law, and he
responded that he has been aware of this change since last year. Mr. Hillis stated he believed
there would be some tolerance when working with subdivisions that were approved before the by-
law changed. He stated he did not know if the offer to purchase is specific to this style of house.
Further, if these applications are not approved, the builder will probably reduce the size of the
garage door.
The Chair suggested that consideration of these applications be deferred to the March meeting.
He asked Mr. Hillis to inform staff as to whether the offers to purchase these lots are based on the
proposed house designs. Further, Mr. Hillis was required to identify whether there will be
hardship if these applications are not approved, and explain why the owner can not comply with
the by-law.
It was generally agreed by all members that the applications be so deferred.
4. Submission No.: A 2006-017
Applicant: First Romanian Baptist Church
Property Location: 1710 Glasgow Street
Legal Description: Lot 39, German Company Tract, being Part 4, Reference Plan 58R-

The Committee was advised that the applicant requests permission to expand a legal non-
conforming religious institution from 1242 sq. m. (13,369.21 sq. ft.) to 1627 sq. m. (17,513.45 sq.
ft.).
The Committee considered the report of the City's Planning Division, dated February 3, 2006,
advising the subject property is located on the west side of Glasgow Street between Highland
Road West and West Hill Drive. The applicant is proposing to construct an addition of 385 sq. m
to the existing religious institution. The subject property is designated General Industrial in the
Municipal Plan and General Industrial Zone (M-2) in Zoning By-law 85-1. Zoning By-Law 85 -1
was amended in April 2005, to restrict the development of Religious Institutions and Educational
Establishments in industrial zones. The uses are now required to be located within a building
used for other permitted M-2 uses and they can not exceed 25 percent of the gross floor area.
The First Romanian Baptist Church currently occupies 100 percent of the building on the subject
property and the proposed addition would be developed for the sole use of the Religious
Institution. The applicant is requesting permission to expand a legal non-conforming use to allow
an addition to a religious institution which occupies up to 100% of the building.
The City of Kitchener has had difficulty in maintaining an adequate amount of industrial land for
business attraction and retention. Zoning By-law 85-1 was amended to restrict Educational
Establishments and Religious Institutions in industrial areas to help the City maintain an adequate
supply of industrial lands. The need for industrial land for future development and expansion is
primarily required within our industrial business parks. This variance would allow the applicant to
expand an existing use that was established through a Site Plan approval in 1999. The First
Romanian Baptist Church has been operating in this location for several years and as such,
allowing the parish to expand in this location is not expected to have an unacceptably adverse
impact on the surrounding properties. The building located at 1710 Glasgow St was constructed
to function as a religious establishment and is located in an older established industrial zone but
is not included within an industrial business park. The opportunities to utilize the building for an
industrial use would be limited due to the configuration of the structure and the use would likely
continue to exist without any further expansion. The property can adequately accommodate the
expansion of the church and it would be reasonable to expect that the only opportunity to expand
COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT 39 FEBRUARY 14, 2006
4. Submission No.: A 2006-017 tCont'd)
the building would involve the inclusion of a religious institution use. As a result, the proposal is
desirable for the appropriate development of the subject property. Based on the foregoing,
Planning staff recommend that the application be approved.
The Committee considered the report of the City's Manager of Building, dated January 3, 2006,
advising he has no objections to the proposed variance provided a building permit is required for
the on-site sewage system including a sewage system design report to address the increase in
load for the existing sewage system (completed by a professional engineer). A permit is also
required for the addition. The designer shall ensure compliance with spatial separation
requirements in the Ontario Building Code.
The Committee considered the report of the City's Traffic & Parking Analyst, dated January 3,
2006, advising they have reviewed this application and have no concerns with the variance
provided that adequate parking is provided.
The Committee considered the report of the Region of Waterloo Transportation Planner, dated
February 6, 2006, advising they have no concerns with these applications.
Mr. Sloan explained this application requests permission to expand a legal non-conforming use.
The church was built fairly recently, and will remain on the property for a fairly long time;
therefore, the addition will not extend the length of use. The use fits in with the area, and should
not have an adverse affect on other uses. Also, the property can adequately accommodate the
addition.
Moved by Mr. B. Isaac
Seconded by Mr. Z. Janecki
That the application of First Romanian Baptist Church requesting permission to expand a legal
non-conforming religious institution, that occupies 100% of the existing building, from 1242 sq. m.
(13,369.21 sq. ft.) to 1627 sq. m. (17,513.45 sq. ft.), on Lot 39, German Company Tract, being
Part 4, Reference Plan 58R-691411, 1710 Glasgow Street, Kitchener, Ontario, BE APPROVED.
It is the opinion of this Committee that the use of 100% of this building as a religious institution
has continued to the date of this application, and that the addition proposed in this application will
be fully within the limits of the land owned and used in connection therewith on the day the by-law
was passed.

The Committee was advised that the applicant requests permission to construct a patio,
accessory to a restaurant, with a side yard setback adjacent to Claremont Avenue of 0 m rather
than 3 m (9.84 ft.).
COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT 40 FEBRUARY 14, 2006
5. Submission No.: A 2006-018 tCont'd)
The Committee considered the report of the City's Planning Division, dated February 3, 2006,
advising they have no objections to this application, provided that the owner submits a detailed
plan showing the proposed patio fencing/ enclosure to the satisfaction of the City's Director of
Planning, and implements the approved plan within 6 months of the date of the Committee of
Adjustment's decision. The fencing/enclosure detail design shall be in accordance with the Mixed
Use Corridor and Belmont Village Design Guidelines.
The Committee considered the report of the Manager of Building advising he has no objections to
the proposed variance provided a building permit is issued.
The Committee considered the report of the City's Traffic & Parking Analyst advising staff have
reviewed this application and has no concerns with the proposed 0 metre setback variance,
provided that the separation between the outdoor patio and the sidewalk is to the satisfaction of
the Director of Transportation Planning.
The Committee considered the report of the Region of Waterloo, Transportation Planner, dated
February 6, 2006, advising they have no concerns with this application.
Mr. Sloan explained this building is being renovated and there will be a restaurant at the corner of
the building, which use desires a patio. The patio will be for a commercial use and the proposed
set back will be Om. Given the urban design guidelines for Belmont Village, it may be reasonable
in this case to allow the variance provided there are no visibility issues.
It was generally agreed by Committee members that staff should be given the design details for
the patio to determine how it will impact the streetscape, whether there will be any visibility
issues, and whether there will be problems of patrons interacting with pedestrians on the street.
When questioned by the applicant's agent about an extension to 9 months to fulfill the condition
recommended by staff, the Committee advised it will have to be fulfilled within 6 months, as most
patios are used in the summer months.

Seconded by Mr. P. Britton
