THE PROPOSAL
The applicant is applying for the following relief from Zoning By-law 97-95 for the purpose of
constructing a single detached dwelling in the building envelope as shown on the attached
sketch:
Required
PropOsed
L Section 5.32 Setback from slope
Exceeding 33% or 3 to 1 for the dwelling 23 m (75.4 ft)
Om (Oft)
MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS
Official Plan Designation - Horseshoe Valley Settlement Node - Low Density Residential
Zoning By-law 97-95 - Residential One (R1 ) Zone
Previous Applications - None
AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes)
Public Works - No road concerns
Building Department - The Township Buildin9 Dept has reviewed this application and note that
the proposal appears to meet the minimum standards
Engineering Department - No concerns
PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The applicant proposes to build a detached dwelling on what appears to be the only available
land on an existing vacant lot on Valleycrest Drive. However, in order to obtain a permit for a
building for the subject lot, the applicant requires relief from the minimum setback from slopes,
given the presence of a fairly dramatic hill on the iot.
'.
The Four Tests of the Minor Variance
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Horseshoe Valley Low Density Residential. The primary function of
this designation is to recognize a development node, which permits a variety of residential,
commercial, and recreational uses.
The proposed variance would permit the construction of a single detached dwelling on a currently
vacant lot in a registered plan of subdivision, which is a permitted use within the Low Density
Residential designation in the Horseshoe Resort Node. On this basis the proposed variance
would be in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan
1
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
The intent of maintaining separation from slopes is to ensure the long term stability of slopes.
Based on site inspection, the proposed building envelope is situated on a plateau which proves to
be the most ideal location for a dwelling. It was also noted that the slope is partially veget<:\ted
therefore natural slope stability is present. As a condition of approval, staff will recommend .that
the Township engineer review the proposed grading plan to ensure that the stability of the slope
will not be compromised as a result of the proposed construction.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
Upon site inspection it was evident that many of the homes on Valleycrest Drive are to some
degree integrate themselves with the topography of the subdivision. On this basis the proposed
variance would appear to provide for the appropriate and desirable development of the lot.
Is the variance minor?
It is anticipated that a significant percentage of development in the Horseshoe Valley area has in
one way or another, integrated itself with the natural landscape in the area. While it may be
appropriate to grant relief to provisions of the By-law, it should only be considered in
circumstances that absolutely leave no other option. Based upon the site inspection of the
subject property it would appear that the proposed building location provides the only suitable
option available for construction of a dwelling on the subject property which was the intended use
of the property as approved by the plan of subdivision.
CONCLUSIONS
The requested variances as amended generally satisfy the 4 tests of a minor variance.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Committee approve Minor Variance application 2005-A-39 subject to
the following conditions:
1. That an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to the Township of compliance with the
Committee's decision by 1) pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring of
the foundation by way of survey/real property report prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor;
2. That the proposed dwelling be located no closer than 0 metres (0 feet) from the slope
exceeding 33% or 3 to 1;
3. That the Township engineer provide comments satisfactory to the Secretary-Treasurer that
the slope stability will not be compromised as a result of the proposed construction;
4. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application and on
the sketch submitted with the application and approved by the Committee;
.-
5. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building Official
only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for within the
Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c. P. 13.

THE PROPOSAL
The applicants have applied for consent for a technical severance to re-create a lot. The
lands proposed to be severed would have a lot frontage of approximately 50 metres (165
feet), a lot depth of approximately 80 metres (264 feet) and having a lot area of
approximately 0.4 hectares (1 acre), The lands to be retained would have a lot area of
approximately 13 hectares (33 acres),
MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS

Building Department- The Township Building Dept. has reviewed this application and make
note that the proposal appears to meet the minimum standards
Engineering Department-No concerns
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Background
The subject lands presently exist as a single 13.7 hectare (34 acre) parcel with
approximately 308 metres (1,013 feet) fronting on Line 12 and approximately 465 metres
(1,526 feet) fronting along Horseshoe Valley Road. In 1968, Mr. & Mrs. Phillips claimed title
to the 1 acre mor€ or less legally described as Part of the South-West Quarter of Lot 1,
Concession 13, Instrument Number 273123 (deeds have been provided to the Committee).
In 1969, Mr. & Mrs, Phillips purchased and claimed title to the approximate 33 acres
described as Part of the South-West Quarter of Lot 1, Concession 13, Instrument Number
301496 (deeds have also been provided to the Committee). In time, the two lots merged in
title, proof of which show on the transfer/deed of land dated May 28, 1992, in which the
description of the lands are Part of the South-West Quarter of Lot 1, Concession 13, being
the lands in Instrument Number 273123 and 301496. The purpose of this technical
severance is to sever the vacant 1 acre parcel.
]
OFFICIAL PLAN
Section 03.3.7 of the Official Plan provides a specific policy to allow Committee to consider
applications to re-divide large parcels of agricultural land which have merged in title. The
policy states:
The creation of new lots to correct a situation where two or more lots have merged on
title may be permitted, provided the Committee of Adjustment is satisfied that the new lot:
. was once separate conveyable lot in accordance with the Planning Act;
. is of the same shape and size as the lot which once existed as a separate
conveyable lot;
. can be adequately serviced by on-site sewage and water systems;
. fronts on a public road that is maintained year-round by a public authority; and
. an entrance permit is available for the new driveway accessing the severed lot from
the appropriate authority, if required.
In order to confirm that the lot to be created was once a conveyable lot, the Committee of
Adjustment received registered deeds which indicate that the new lot was once legally
conveyable. Based on the site inspection, it was determined that the severed lot, which
fronts on an assumed public road, Line 12 North, could be serviced with on-site sewage and
water systems.
ZONING BY.LAW 97-95
The SUbject properly is currently zoned Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) in the Township's Zoning
By-law 97-95, as amended. The proposed and retained lots would continue to comply with
the provisions of the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) zone.
ANALYSIS
By reviewing the deeds provided by the applicants, they confirm that the one acre parcel
described as Part of the South-West Quarter of Lot 1, Concession 13 was once a separate
and conveyable parcel, but it is unclear when the merger between the two parcels occurred.
The proposal appears to meet the criteria required by Section D3.3.7 of the Official Plan.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of the above, the proposed consent generally conforms with the policies of the
Official Plan as they pertain to lands which have merged on title.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Committee Grant Provisional Consent for Application 2005-B-44
subject to the following list of conditions:
1. That three copies of a Reference Plan for the subject lands indicating the severed
parcel be prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor or a registerable description and be
submitted to the Secretary-Treasurer:
2
2. That the applicant prepare and submit a copy of the proposed conveyance for the
parcel severed, for review by the Municipality;
3. That all municipal taxes be paid to the Township of Oro-Medonte; and,
4. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year
from the date of the giving of the notice.

THE PROPOSAL
The applicant applied for a severance (Consent application 2004-B-35) and was approved by
the Committee of Adjustment on August 12, 2004. The consent application subsequently
expired and the applicant has now applied for the same objective: to permit the creation of a
new residential lot. The land to be severed is proposed to have a lot frontage of
approximately 67 metres (220 feet), a lot depth of approximately 100 metres (330 feet) and a
lot area of approximately 0.6 hectares (1.5 acre). The land proposed to be retained would
have a lot frontage of approximately 630 metres (2070 feet), a lot depth of approximately 630
metres (2070 feet) and a lot area of approximately 40 hectares (99 acres).

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The request of the applicant is to sever a new residential lot with an area of about 0.6
hectares (1.5 ac~es). The proposed lot would have frontage along Line 6 of about 67 metres
(220 feet).
The retained parcel would have a lot area of about 40 hectares (99 acres) with a frontage of
about 630 metres (2070 feet) along Line 6.
Township Of Oro-Medonte Official Plan
The Oro-Medonte Official Plan perrnits lot creation for residential purposes in the Rural
designation in accordance with the following policies and criteria:
....Only one new lot can be severed from a lot in the Rural designation that
has an area of at least 36 hectares or is the whole of an original Township lot
provided a lot has not been severed from the parcel after March 26, 1973.
In considering the creation of a new lot for residential purposes, the
Committee of Adjustment shall be satislied that the proposed lot:
a) Will have a minimum lot area of 0.4 hectares;
b) Is of an appropriate size for residential use, with such a residential
use generally not requiring a lot size that exceeds 2.0 hectares;
c) Fronts onto an existing public road that is maintained year round by
the Township or County;
d) Will not cause a traffic hazard as a result of its location on a curve or
a hill; and,
e) Can be serviced with an appropriate water supply and an appropriate
means of sewage disposal.
It is noted that the applicant has owned the large parcel for at least 45 years, at which time a
lot has not been severed from the parcel.
Zoning By-Law 97-95
As part of provisional approval from the consent application which was granted by the
Committee last year, the lands subject to the severance have been rezoned to the Rural
Residential Two (RUR2) Zone, which would permit only residential uses on the proposed lot.
This rezoning was completed on June 22, 2005 as a condition of the previous approval.
CONCLUSIONS
The application conforms with the technical criteria for lot creation set out in Section D.3.3.1
of the Township's Official Plan. It should be noted that the applicant has submitted to the
Township three copies of the Reference Plan for the severed parcel, paid the fee for cash-in-
lieu of a parkland dedication and the Development Charges Fee, and has rezoned the lands.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Committee approve Provisional Consent for Application 2005-B-
45 subject to the following conditions:
1. That the applicant's solicitor prepare and submit a copy of the proposed conveyance
for the parcel severed, for review by the Municipality; and
2. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year
from the date of the giving of the notice.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

THE PROPOSAL
The applicant is requesting relief from Section 5.1.3, Permitted locations for detached

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has a lot frontage of approximately 19 metres (62 feet), a depth of
approximately 67 metres (220 feet), a shoreline frontage of approximately 19 metres (62
feet) and an area of 0.3 acres and is presently occupied by a cottage, a garden shed
and a detached garage. The applicants wish to construct a second detached garage
having an area of 20.4 m2 (220 ff) to be located 0,66 metres (2,16 feet) from the easterly
property line.
The Four Tests of the Minor Variance
Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. Section D10.1 which contains
the Shoreline policies in the Township's Official Plan sets out the following objectives:
. To maintain the existing character of this predominantly residential area.
. To protect the natural features of the shoreline area and the immediate shoreline.
The requested variance for the addition would appear to maintain the character of the
shoreline residential area as the garage is buffered by large trees along the front and
side property lines. On this basis, the proposal appears to conform with the intent of the
policies contained in the Official Plan.
Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
The subject lot is currently zoned Shoreline Residential Exception (SR*2), The SR*2
zone establishes a minimum interior side yard of 1.5 metres (4.92 feet). The purpose of
the Exception Two is to provide lots that have a narrow lot width a reduction in minimum
interior yard setbacks for buildings and structures. As the proposed garage will be set
back 0.66 metres (2.16 feet) from a property line that is well buffered by mature trees, it
will little or no impact on the overall character of the residential character of the lot or
shoreline subdivision.
With the proposed detached garage, however the lot coverage of all detached accessory
buildings exceeds the required maximum lot coverage of 5%, as the proposed garage
will increase the lot coverage to 5.3%.
On this basis the variance is deemed to not conform to general intent of the Zoning By-
law.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
Based on the site inspection, the proposed detached garage with a reduced interior side
yard setback of 0.66 metres (2.16 feet) would appear to be appropriate for the desirable
development of the lot and in keeping with the surrounding residential area. Given that
the proposed structure would provide for a form of development that is suitable and
consistent with the surrounding neighbourhood, it would not lead to the over
development of the lot. The coverage exceedance, however, may not be appropriate
and has not been applied for.
Are the variances minor?
Based on site inspection, the detached garage would not adversely affect the character
of the residential area as the garage will be buffered from Woodland Drive and from the
lot to the east by mature trees, which would have little if any impact on the streetscape of
Woodland Drive. On this basis, the requested relief is deemed to be minor in nature.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the above analysis, it is the Planning Departments position that the application
does not meet the four test of Section 45 of the Planning Act as follows:
1. The requested variance is in keeping with the general intent of the Official Plan.
2. The requested variance is not in keeping with the intent of the Township's Zoning By-
law.
3. The requested variance may not provide for the desirable development of the subject
property.
4. The requested variance is minor.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the Committee defer Minor Variance Application No. 2005-A-41
to allow time for the applicant to address the issue of exceeding the maximum lot
coverage for all detached accessory buildings.

THE PROPOSAL
The applicants are proposing to demolish the existing carport to be replaced by living area
while making an addition to enlarge the living area. The proposed living area will have an area
of approximately 60 m2 (653 If). The proposed additions will maintain the existing setback

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has a lot frontage of approximately 18 metres (60 feet), a shoreline
frontage of approximately 18 metres (60 feet) and a lot area of approximately 0.12 hectares
(0.31 acres) and is presently occupied by a single detached dwelling.
The applicants wish to demolish the existing carport to be replaced by living area having an
area of approximately 45.7 m2 (492.7 If) and making an additional addition to be located at
the front of the existing dwelling with an area of approximately 14.9 m2 (160.6 If). The
proposed living area additions will have an area of approximately 60 m2 (653 If). The existing
carport currently encroaches into the 3 metre (9.8 feet) required interior side yard setback. The
proposed additions will maintain the existing 1.3 metres (4.2 feet) set back from the west side
lot line.
Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. Section D10.1 which contains the
Shoreline policies in the Township's Official Plan sets out the following objectives:
. To maintain the existing character of this predominantly residential area.
. To protect the natural features of the shoreline area and the immediate shoreline..
The requested variance for living space additions is considered to conform with the intent of
the policies contained in the Official Plan. The proposed additions will be well buffered by a
mature cedar hedge being situated along the westerly property line, therefore the existing
character is not being compromised. On this basis, the proposed variance would therefore
conform with the intent of the policies contained in the Official Plan.
Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
The subject lot is currently zoned Shoreline Residential (SR). One of the purposes or goals
of maintaining setbacks in residential areas is to maintain a positive built form and visual
quality. The mature cedar hedge on the interior side lot line will provide a form of privacy for
the abutting property for the proposed additions. The proposed living space additions will
have little or no impact on the intent of the by-law to provide a low density residential
character to the lot or the subdivision.
The site inspection revealed that the proposed additions should not adversely impact the
residential neighbourhood as the additions will not further encroach into the existing interior
setback. Therefore the proposal is considered to conform with the general intent of the By-
law.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
Based on the site inspection, the proposed additions would appear to be appropriate for the
desirable development of the lot and in keeping with the surrounding residential area. Given
that the proposed additions would provide for a form of development that is suitable and
consistent with the surrounding neighbourhood, it would not lead to the over development of
the lot.
Is the variance minor?
On the basis that the proposal would not adversely affect the character of the shoreline
residential area, the proposed variance is considered to be minor in nature.
CONCLUSIONS
The subject application to permit the construction of living space additions to the existing
dwelling on the subject property generally satisfies the four tests of the minor variance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the Committee approve minor variance application 2005-A-40 subject
to the following conditions:
1. The west side of the additions shall maintain the existing 1.3 metres (4.2 feet) setback
from the side lot line;
2
2. That an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to the Township of compliance with
the Committee's decision by 1) pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to
pouring of the foundation that the existing setback for the additions be maintained;
3. That the applicants ensure that the existing drainage between the properties be
maintained to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department;
4. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building
Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided
for within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13; and,
5. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application
and on the sketches and plans dated September 15, 2005 from Lucas Drafting
submitted with the application.

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has a lot frontage of 30.48 metres (100 feet), a depth of 30.3
metres (99.4 feet) and an area of 929 m2 (10,000 ft2) and is presently occupied by a
single detached dwelling and a detached garage. The applicants wish to construct a 8.4
m2 (90 ff) deck addition to be attached at the front of the existing dwelling.
The Four Tests of the Minor Yariance
Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. Section D10.1 which contains
the Shoreline policies in the Township's Official Plan sets out the following objectives:
. To maintain the existing character of this predominantly residential area.
. To protect the natural features of the shoreline area and the immediate shoreline.
The requested variance for the deck addition would appear to maintain the character of
the residential area as the addition would provide for a means of entrance access to the
dwelling. On this basis, the proposed variance would therefore conform with the intent
of the policies contained in the Official Plan.
Do the variances conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
The subject lot is currently zoned Residential Limited Service with a Holding Provision
(RLS(H)). Zoning By-law 97-95 currently zones all lots that have direct frontage on
private roads as RLS(H). No development is permitted on these lots until the H is
removed. However, Grandview Crescent is an assumed, public and maintained
Township Road. In recent years, it has been determined that a number of roads that
were considered to be private have either been assumed by the Township or were
indeed public roads at the time. On this basis, all lots on roads that are considered to be
public and roads that are maintained by the Township will be considered to be rezoned
Shoreline Residential at the time a general review of the Zoning By-law is done.
The RLS and SR zone establishes a minimum front yard of 7.5 metres (24.6 metres).
The intention of the required yard is to create a low density residential neighbourhood
where the dwellings are set back from the street and provide a large front yard/outdoor
living area between the dwelling and the street and to provide adequate parking. Certain
structural features are permitted to encroach into the required yard without impact on the
overall objective and intent of the by-law. Unenclosed porches and balconies and other
features (chimney breasts, stairs and landings, etc.) may encroach 1.0 metres into the
required front yard without an amendment to the By-law
The existing dwelling complies with all other setback standards in the by-law. Given that
the area of the lot proposed to be developed is relatively open and free of vegetation, the
proposed variance for a deck should not adversely impact the character of the
residential area. On this basis the proposal is considered to conform with the general
intent of the Zoning By-law,
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
The proposed deck addition will not change the overall character of the dwelling and
would appear to be appropriate for the desirable development of the lot and in keeping
with the surrounding residential area. Given that the proposed addition would provide
for a form of development that is suitable and consistent with the surrounding
neighbourhood, it would not lead to the over development of the lot.
Are the variances minor?
On the basis that the size of the deck is reasonable and should not adversely affect the
character of the residential area, the proposed variance considered to be minor.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed variances generally satisfy the 4 tests of a minor variance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the Committee approve Minor Variance Application 2005-A-42
subject to the following conditions:
1. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief
Building Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as
provided for within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13;
2. That the deck be no closer than 5.5 metres (18 feet) from the front lot line;
3. That prior to issuance of a building permit, an Ontario Land Surveyor provide
verification to the Township of compliance with the Committee's decision by 1)
pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring of the foundation that
the deck addition be no closer than 5.5 metres (18 feet) ; and,
4. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the
application and on the sketch submitted with the application and approved by the

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has a lot frontage of approximately 48 metres (160 feet), a lot depth
of approximately 121 metres (400 feet) and a lot area of about 0.6 hectares (1.5 acres).
The applicants' lot is presently occupied by a two storey dwelling with an area of about
236 m2 (2,549 fe).
It is the applicants' intent to build a detached two car garage with a gross floor area of
113 m2 (1 ,216 fe) and a maximum height from grade to ridge of 7 metres (23 feet).
The Four Tests of the Minor Variance
Do the variances conform with the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Rural in the Township's Official Plan. The intent of the
policies in the Rural designation are to preserve and promote the rural character of the
Township and the maintenance of the open countryside and to prevent the intrusion of
land uses which are incompatible with the rural character of the area. Permitted uses
such as a single detached dwelling and accessory uses, such as garages, are generally
appropriate and consistent with the character of the rural area. On this basis the
application would generally conform with the intent of the Official Plan.
Do the variances conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
The applicants are intending to use the proposed building for personal storage of
vehicles and equipment. It is also noted that the existing dwelling does not have a
basement, therefore storage is limited, In assessing the issue of conformity with the By-
law it is noted that the proposal does comply with the lot coverage provision of 5% for
storage buildings.
On this basis, the proposal is deemed to conform with the general intent of the Zoning
By-law.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
In determining the desirable development of the lot, it should be noted that the property
is zoned Agricultural/Rural and that the structure is proposed to be built beside the
dwelling. The proposed location would maintain the character of the residential lot. On
this basis, the proposed structure would provide for the appropriate and desirable
development of the lot.
Are the variances minor?
The application is deemed to be minor in nature on the basis that the applicant has
complied with the majority of the zoning provisions in the Agricultural/Rural zone for an
accessory building and is significantly lower than the maximum height requirement of 11
metres (36 feet) for agricultural buildings permitted in this zone.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed application for the detached garage with an increased height and floor
area generally satisfies the four tests of the minor variance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the Committee grant Minor Variance Application 2005-A-43
subject to the following conditions:
1. That the gross floor area of the structure shall not exceed 113 m2 (1,216 ff) and
the height of the structure from grade to ridge shall not exceed 7 metres (23 feet);
2. That the proposed structure shall be used in accordance with the permitted uses
of the Agricultural/Rural (AlRU) zone based on the minimum lot. area
requirements;
3. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application
and on the sketch submitted with the application and approved by the Committee, as
submitted. .
.
4. That an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to the Township. of
compliance with the Committee's decision by 1) pinning the footing and 2)
verifying in writing prior to pouring of the foundation by way of survey/real
property report; and,
5. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief
Building Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding,
as provided for within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13.

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has a road frontage of approximately 45.72 metres (150 feet), a shoreline
frontage of approximately 45.72 metres (150 feet) and a lot area of approximately 1.3 hectares
(3.4 acres). The lands currently have a frame cabin and a detached garage. The owner has
submitted building permit applications for the construction of a dwelling and boathouse. The
purpose of this minor variance application is to increase the height of the proposed boathouse to
7.4 metres (24.3 feet) above the elevation of the average high water mark of Lake Simcoe.
Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Official Plan?
The portion of the property closest to Ridge Road is designated Rural while the portion abutting
Lake Simcoe is designated Shoreline. The primary function of the Shoreline designation is to
protect the character of the shoreline residential area. Perm itted uses in the Shoreline
designation primarily include residential uses as well as accessory uses. Section D10.7 of the
Official Plan directs that the Zoning By-law shall include provisions that restrict the size and
location of boathouses on a lot. The O.P. does not contain policies with respect to the design
issues or concerns around boathouse heights or respecting accessory residential uses within
boathouses. The application therefore would not offend any policy contained in the Official Plan.
Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
One of the purposes of regulating the location and height of boathouses in the Shoreline
Residential (SR) Zone is to prevent over.development of the shoreline frontage which may lead to
the frontage being dominated by boathouse structures and ultimately impacting the character of
the shoreline. Section 5.6 ot By-law 97.95 establishes setback, height, percentage of frontage,
and use regulations for boathouses. The By-law specifically excludes boathouses from the total
lot coverage provisions for accessory structures and does not establish a maximum floor area or
ground floor area for boathouses.
The proposed boathouse meets the locational (setback) provisions of the by-law and the
percentage of water frontage occupied by the structure. The proposed boathouse will exceed
the maximum height standard by 2.9 metres. Boathouse height is calculated not from the
average finished grade (as it is with all other structures in the Township) but from the average
high water mark. The intent ot this provision is to ensure that the boathouse remains secondary
to the dwelling on the site, does not dominate the shoreline elevations, and does not negatively
impact views from adjacent development. This is particularly so in areas of the Township
characterized by small lots and narrow shoreline frontages.
Based on a site inspection, it is noted that the subject lot is large and is on a lower grade than
Ridge Road. It is also noted that the subject lot appears to form part of a historic and
redeveloping "estate" area. Moreover, the significant steep slopes from the waters edge to the
"plateau" of the lot create a rather unique building location for the boathouse.
The boathouse, proposed to be constructed from the shoreline and into the shoreline bank, will as
a result have a lower height than the proposed home. The proposed boathouse will remain,
visually, secondary to the dwelling, will not dominate the shoreline, and will not Impact the
potential views from adjacent lands.
On this basis the variance is deemed to conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
Given the size of the lots shoreline frontage in relation to the proposed boathouse and in
recognition of the unique location for the boathouse "into the bank" of the shoreline, the proposed
boathouse height will not result in the over-development of the subject lot or the shoreline. In
addition the proposed boathouse will match the design style of the proposed home and will be
generally consistent with the nature of estate style development in this area of the Oro-Medonte
shoreline. On this basis the proposal is considered appropriate for the desirable development of
the subject lot.
Is the variance minor?
As Committee is aware, "minor" is not determined on a mathematical basis. Although the
requested relief represents almost doubling of the by-law standard, in recognition of the unique
site conditions and configuration, it can be deemed to be minor on this basis.
CONCLUSIONS
The subject application generally satisfies the four tests of the minor variance. It should be noted
that at the time the report was written, comments have yet to be received from the Lake Simcoe
Regional Conservation Authority.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the Committee grant Minor Variance 2005-A-44 subject to the following
conditions:
2
1. That the maximum height of the proposed boathouse not exceed 7.4 metres (24.3 feet)
and that the location of the boathouse be in substantial conformity with the site plan
submitted with the application:
2. That the applicant obtain approval, if required, from the Lake Simcoe Regional
Conservation Authority, if required: and,
3. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building Official
only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for within the
Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT
BACKGROUND
The applicant is proposing to create a new commercial lot with a road frontage along Highway 11
of approximately 227.5 metres (746.41 ft), a lot depth of approximately 79.6 metres (261.25 ft)
and a lot area of approximately 3.4 hectares (8.5 acres). The retained lands would have an area
of approximately 40.5 hectares (100 acres). Last year, Committee approved a boundary
adjustment which conveyed approximately 95 acres to the property owned by Del Coin which
enhanced the Del Coin property to approximately 110 acres. As noted above, the intent of this
application is to sever off the section of property designated and zoned Commercial fronting on
Highway 11 from the remainder of the parcel.
OFFICIAL PLAN
The lands subject io this application are designaied Commercial in the Oro.Medonte Official Plan.
The intent of the Commercial policies is io ensure that commercial uses are sited at appropriate
locations that take advantage of existing infrastructure and to ensure that the design of new
commercial development is sensitive to the rural character of the Township and contributes to the
improvement of the appearance of the Highway 11 Corridor. Section D8.3 Form of Development
_ indicates that any new commercial use or the expansion of existing commercial uses may be
subject to Site Plan Control.
New lots for commercial use may be created by consent if the lot(s):
a) can be serviced by Township or County Roads or by existing commercial
entrances from Highway 11, provided that the approval of the consent will
not lead to a major increase in the amount of traffic utilizing the existing
commercial entrances on Highway 11; and
b) can be serviced with an appropriate water supply and an appropriate
means of sewage disposal.
The subject property has frontage on both Highway 11 and Line 14 South. Vehicular access
serving an existing commercial building is via Line 14 South. This access is not proposed to be
changed. Any future commercial development will be subject to Site Plan Control, which will
include submission of a traffic study which will need to review the access configuration for any
new use. Furthermore, a private sewage disposal system will need to be designed to support
such use. To this end, the subject application would conform to the Official Plan.
ZONING BY-LAW
The lands subject to this application is zoned General Commercial (GC) in the Township's Zoning
By-law 97-95, as amended. The proposed lot would comply with the minimum lot frontage and
the minimum lot area in the GC Zone.
CONCLUSION
In reviewing the application for the creation of one new commercial lot, it is the Planning
Departments position that the application conforms with the general intent of the Commercial
policies of the Official Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Committee approve Consent application 2005-B-47 subject to the
following conditions:
1. That three copies of a Reference Plan of the subject lands prepared by an Ontario Land
Surveyor be submitted to the Committee Secretary;
2. That the applicant's solicitor prepare and submit a copy of the proposed conveyance for the
parcel severed, for review by the Municipality;
3. That the applicant pay $ 500.00 for the lot created as cash-in-Iieu of a parkland contribution;
and,
4. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year from the
date of the giving of the notice.

Committee of Adjustment
Planning Report for
October 13, 2005
Nick & Cathy Rinaldi
2005-A-45
Concession 7, Part Lot 26 (Oro)
THE PROPOSAL
The applicants are requesting permission from the Committee of Adjustment to permit the
construction of a single detached dwelling which lies within the 30 metres (98.4 feet) setback
limit from the Environmental Protection Zone. The proposed dwelling will be setback
approximately 15 metres (49.2 feet) from the Environmental Protection Zone, as shown on
the attached sketch.
MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS
Official Plan Designation - Rural & Environmental Protection Two Overlay
Zoning By-law 97.95 - Agricultural/Rural (AlRU) and Environmental Protection (EP) Zones
AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes)
Public Works- Entrance location to be determined with application. Drainage ditch on
property must be maintained
Building Department- No comments
Engineering Department- 1 foot reserve will have to be removed at end of Elm Court
PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has a street frontage of approximately 16 metres (52 feet) on Elm
Court, a lot depth of approximately 381 metres (1,250 feet) and a lot area of approximately
15 hectares (38 acres). The property is currently vacant. The applicants are proposing to
construct a two storey single detached dwelling with an area of 287 m2 (3091 W).
The proposed dwellir.g will be located within the setback limits of the Environmental
Protection Zone as noted in Zoning By-law 97-95. As a result, permission is required from
the Committee of Adjustment for the construction of the dwelling.
Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Rural and Environmental Protection Two Overlay in the Official
Plan. The primary function of this designation is to preserve and promote the rural character
of the Township and the maintenance of the open countryside and to prevent the intrusion of
land uses which are incompatible with the rural character of the area. Permitted uses in the
Rural designation includes single detached dwellings as well as accessory uses. In
reviewing Schedule B-Components of the Environrnental Protection One & Two
Designations, it appears that the Environrnental Protection located on the lands are part of a
Significant Vegetation, one of the components of the Environmental Protection Two
Designation. As the proposed dwelling will maintain the character of the rural community,
and would appear to maintain the character of the surrounding area, the proposal appears to
conform with the intent of the policies contained in the Official Plan.
Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
In assessing the issue of conformity with the Zoning By-law, the proposed dwelling should
not detract from the overall character of the lot and surrounding natural features being the
mature trees located on the lot. One of the purposes of regulating structures being built
within 30 metres of the Environmental Protection Zone is to maintain and enhance the
ecological integrity of the natural heritage system, to ensure that development does not
occur on lands that are unstable or susceptible to flooding and to ensure that development
does not occur on hazardous slopes. The application has been circulated to the Lake
Simcoe Regional Conservation Authority who has not commented on the proposal to date.
Based on site inspection, the proposed location of the dwelling appears to be dry and there
is no evidence of a watercourse in the area, therefore the proposed dwelling would therefore
conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law subject to LSRCA endorsement which
will be recommended as a condition of approval.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
The proposed dwelling should provide for a form of development that is suitable and
consistent with the surrounding area. The proposed variance will provide for the construction
of a single detached dwelling and will continue to maintain the rural character of the area.
On this basis the proposed variance would provide for the appropriate development of the
lot.
Is the variance minor?
As Committee is aware, "minor" is not determined on a mathematical basis. On the basis
that the proposal is reasonable and would not appear to adversely affect the integrity of the
Environmental Protection Zone, the proposed variance is considered to be minor.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed variance generally satisfies the 4 tests of a minor variance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the Committee approve minor variance 2005-A-45 subject to the
following conditions:
1. That the size and setbacks of the proposed dwelling be in conformity with the
sketches submitted with the application and approved by the Committee;
2. That an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to the Township of compliance with
the Committee's decision by 1) pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to
pouring of the foundation so that
a. the dwelling be located no closer than 15 metres (49.2 feet) from the
Environmental Protection Zone;
3. That the applicants adhere to the comments from the Public Works Department to the
satisfaction of the Township,
4. That the appropriate approvals be obtained from the Lake Simcoe Regional
Conservation Authority, if required; and,
5. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building
Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for
within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, C.P. 13.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

THE PROPOSAL
The purpose of applications 2005-B-41, 2005-B-42, 2005-B-43 is to permit the creation of 3 new
residential lots. Each lot to be created is proposed to have a lot frontage of approximately 45.72
metres (150 feet), a lot depth of approximately 134 metres (440 feet) and a lot area of
approximately 0.6 hectare (1.5 acres). The land proposed to be retained would have a lot area of

PLANNING DEPARTMENT
BACKGROUND
It is the applicant's intent to create 3 new residential lots fronting on Moon Point Drive. The lands
proposed to be severed are currently vacant with a significant amount ot tree cover located at the
rear of the lots. The retained lands contain an existing dwelling. On April 6, 2005, Council
approved Official Plan Amendment 19 which redesignated the lands subject to the severances
from the Restricted Rural to the Shoreline designation. OPA 19 was subsequently approved by
the County on May 11, 2005, and has been subsequently appealed and is now subject to an
Ontario Municipal Board Hearing.
OFFICIAL PLAN
While the in.force designation is Restricted Rural, these consent applications have been
evaluated under the Council and County approved Shoreline designation.
Section 010-3.5 Preferred Means of Land ~ivision - indicates that land division by plan of subdivision
rather than consent shall generally be deemed necessary if:
a) the extension of an existing public road or the development of a new public road
is required to access the proposed lots/units (Modification #51); or,
b) the extension of a municipal water or sewer system is required to service the
proposed lotslunits (Modification #51): or,
c) the area that is proposed to be developed is not considered to be infilling; or,
d) a Plan of Subdivision/Condominium (Modification #51) is required to ensure that
the entire land holding or area is developed in an orderly and efficient manner;
or,
e) more than three new lots/units (Modification #51) are being created.
The applicant is proposing the creation of three residential lots, have access on an existing public
road, and would be considered infilling between existing residential properties. On this basis, the
application would conform with the policies permitting the creation of three new residential lots by
consent and not require the development to occur by a plan of subdivision.
Section D10.3.7 of the Official Plan deals with lot creation in the Shoreline designation:
D1 0.3.7
New residential lots by consent
The creation of new lots for a residential use by consent to sever is permitted,
provided a Plan of Subdivision is not required in accordance with Section D10.3.5
and provided the proposed lot and the retained lot:
a) fronts onto an existing public road that is maintained year round by the
Township or County:
b) will not cause a traffic hazard as a result of its location on a curve or a hill:
and,
c) can be serviced with an appropriate water supply and means of sewage
disposal.
The proposed lots and the lot fo be retained appear to meet the policies for the creation of new
lots in the Shoreline Designation. In addition, Section D1 0.3.8 states that "new residential
development in the Shoreline designation will be limited to small-scale subdivisions on the
shoreline or minor infilling by consent." It is staff's position that the new lots conform with this
intent.
ZONING BY-LAW
The lands subject to the application are currently zoned Agricultural/Rural (AlRU) in the
Township's Zoning By-law 97-95, as amended. The proposed severed lots will be required to be
rezoned as a condition of consent to reflect its intended usage for residential purposes. The
proposed severed lots would meet the minimum requirement of the Shoreline Residential (SR)
Zone. The retained lot would continue to comply with the provisions of the Agricultural/Rural
(AlRU) zone. It should be noted that the applicant has applied for the rezoning of the proposed
lots, however, the by-law has not yet been finalized. Therefore, a condition as part of provisional
approval for rezoning the severed lots is not required.
ANAL YSIS
The application as submitted would conform with the Official Plan for the creation of three new
residential lots. It is the Planning Departments recommendation that the Committee approve the
consent applications as submitted for the creation of three residential lots. Should an appeal be
submitted for the consent applications, the OMB can then consider the OPA and the Consent
applications simultaneously.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Committee Grant Provisional Consent for Applications 2005-B-41,
2005-B-42 & 2005-6-43 for the creation of three residential lots subject to the following
conditions:
1. That three copies of a Reference Plan of the subject lands prepared by an Ontario Land
Surveyor be submitted to the Committee Secretary-Treasurer;
2. That the applicant's solicitor prepare and submit a copy of the proposed conveyance for each
parcel severed, for review by the Municipality;
3. That all Municipal taxes be paid to the Municipality;
4. That the applicant pay a Development Charges Fee in the amount of $4,055.78 (By-law
2004-082) to the Township;
5. That the applicant pay $ 2,000.00 for each iot created as cash-in-Iieu of a parkland
contribution;
6. That Official Plan Amendment 19 receive final approval; and,
7. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year from the
date of the giving of the notice.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

Engineering Department: No concerns
PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The applicant has revised the minor variance application for the relocation of the detached
garage. The purpose of the relocation is that the location of the previously approved garage
would lie atop of the septic mantle area, which is not permitted. Therefore the applicant has
revised the location of the detached garage to the west side of the lot and is requested the
above noted relief. The applicant proposes to build a detached garage with an area of 69.6
m2 (750 fr-) in front of an existing dwelling on a shoreline residential lot which has an area of
3,331 m2 (35,855 W). It is understood that the front yard is the only available building area
for a detached garage given the location of the driveway and septic system on the lot.
The Four Tests of the Minor Variance
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Shoreline. The primary function of the Shoreline designation is to
identify and permit residential uses which are compatible and in keeping with the character of
a shoreline residential community. The proposed variance, which would permit the
construction of a detached garage in the front yard is in keeping with the intent of the Official
P~. .
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
One of the purposes of maintaining minimum front yards in the Shoreline Residential Zone is
to maintain and protect the residential character of a single detached shoreline residential
community. It is also the intent of the By-law to permit accessory uses that are reasonable
and incidental to a residential use subject to reasonable setbacks. The front yard is
established to ensure adequate area exists between the road and garage for adequate on
site parking. The side yard setback is also intended to provide appropriate area for access,
maintenance and potential drainage between properties. Based on the sketch submitted,
staff cannot determine whether on site parking will be adequate, and therefore will be
recommending that the application be deferred to ensure that the intent of the Zoning By-law
is not compromised.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
The subject application has been precipitated to some degree by a narrow lot and the
existing location of the septic system and driveway. Although the proposed garage will be
located close to the road, it should not detract from the character of the lot or the surrounding
neighbourhood. Given that the applicant does not currently have a garage and the lot is
somewhat constrained due to its narrowness, the proposed variance is considered to be
reasonable. On this basis, the subject variance should provide for the appropriate and
desirable development of the lot.
Is the variance minor?
On the basis that the proposed garage is modest in size relative to the applicant's lot and
appears to be a reasonable location for an accessory dwelling, the requested relief is
deemed to be minor.
CONCLUSIONS
To ensure conformity with the Zoning By-law, it is staffs' opinion that the application be
deferred at the present time to allow the opportunity for the Townships' Road Superintendent
to visit the site and determine whether on site parking will be adequate and to ensure that the
intent of the Zoning By-law is not compromised.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Committee defer application A-39/03 to allow time for the
Townships' Road Superintendent to visit the site and determine whether on site parking will
be adequate and to ensure that the intent of the Zoning By-law is not compromised.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
