The intent of the residential designation is to promote the consolidation of residential development within existing development nodes; the Sugarbush settlement area is classed as a development node where the subject property is located. Section E2.4 addresses the Sugazbush node and requires that all new development must be connected to the municipal water system and must be approved for a private septic system by the Health Unit. Confirmation is still required from the Manager of Public Works regazding connection to the municipal water system and favourable comments aze required from the Health Unit regazding the septic system. Zoning By-law The subject lands are zoned Residential One (Rl) in By-law 97-95. In accordance with the appplicant's sketch all lots meet the minimum zone requirements. Verification is required from the applicant as to the ownership of Block 104. The Township records indicate this pazcel is owned by the Township and the applicant will have to provide the Committee with a deed of transfer showing ownership. • The application also shows the untravelled road allowance (6"') as part of the application. This road allowance is still currently owned by the Township. The applicant has asked to purchase this from the Township and this request is currently being processed. In accordance with the Municipal Act the adjacent landowners are first offered half the road allowance which abuts their property. Until this final determination of the road allowance is made the application should be deferred. Recommendation That applications B36/98 - B46/98 be deferred until a determination is made on the amount of road allowance to be purchased by the applicant. Decision Moved by Allan Johnson, seconded by Dave Edwards " That the Committee hereby DEFER Applications B-36/98 to B-46/98 until a determination has been made on the sale of the township lands. .....Carried. i 2 .

Policy Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning By-law: Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Comments • Roads Superintendent: Future road construction will require the existing 66 foot right of way to be cleazed and could possibly need road widening Health Unit: No Objection Planning Department Comments Background The applicant has requested a variance to the exterior side yazd requirement to recognize a frame drive shed which was constructed in 1998. 1. Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan? The subject property is designated Rural in the Official Plan. The general intent of the policies is to preserve and promote the rural chazacter of the Township and maintain the open countryside. The variance as proposed does generally conform with the policies of this Plan. • • 2. Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-taw? The subject property is zoned AgriculturaURural (A/RU) in By-law 97-95. The intent of the Zoning By-law is to establish setback requirements in order to maintain the chazacter of the agriculturallrural area. The frame drive shed was constructed in 1998 without a building permit first being obtained. Based on the layout of the property the drive shed abuts the exterior side yard which is intended to have a larger setback due to the adjoining road. The requested variance is a reduction of 21.6 feet from the 24.6 foot requirement; this is not considered to conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law. 3. Is the variance desirable for the appropriate development of the lot? Upon site inspection it is evident that the drive shed is an open structure and constructed on posts. It would appear on this basis that the structure could be moved to more appropriately comply with the exterior side yard setback requirement. The variance requested in not considered appropriate for the development of the property. 4. Is the variance minor in nature? The variance is not deemed to be minor on the basis that the reduction in the requirement is significant and will impact on the chazacter of the area. • February 3 1999 Planning comments A further site inspection has been completed of the drive shed, its location and the structural details. The posts supporting the structure would appeaz to be spaced 14 feet apart. If the roof was removed over the bay closest to Line 7 the structure would be >.15 metres (16.9 feet) instead of the required 7.5 metres (24.6 feet). This proposed setback would keep the drive shed essentially in line with the existing log gazage. Recommendation That application Al/99 be approved only if amended to a more appropriate setback, keeping in line with the log gazage. • 2 • Moved by Ken Robbins, seconded by Allan Johnson "That the Committee hereby GRANT Minor Variance as amended to 4.84 metres (15.9 feet) Application A-1/99 subject to the following conditions: 1. That a sketch of survey/real property report prepazed by an Ontario Land Surveyor be submitted to the Township once the construction reached grade level; 2. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application, as submitted; 3. That the Simcoe County District Health Unit approve of the application, in writing; 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; 5. That all municipal taxes be paid to the Township of Oro-Medonte. ....Carried." • • 3 -~- r s!

Policv Official Plan Designation: Zoning By-law: Comments Roads Superintendent: • Health Unit: Shoreline Shoreline Residential (SR) No Concern No Objection Planning Department Comments 1. Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan? The subject property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. The general intent of the policies is to preserve the character of the shoreline residential area and protect the natural features of the shoreline. The variance as proposed would actually move the dwelling further away from Lake Simcoe, there by improving the protection of the shoreline. 2. Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law? The subject property is zoned Shoreline Residential (SR) in By-law 97-95. The intent of the Zoning By-law is to establish setback requirements in order to maintain the character of the shoreline azea. Bazbaza Avenue is considered the front yazd on this property for zoning purposes and as such requires a lazger setback. As the property is at the end of the road allowance and the new dwelling will be maintaining the setback of the existing C 1 • dwelling. The variance is considered to conform with the general intent of the zoning by- law. 3. Is the variance desirable for the appropriate development of the lot? Upon site inspection it is evident that the house is being designed and located on the lot in order to protect a cluster of mature trees. The new dwelling will be larger than the existing cottage but is only a single storey. The variance is considered appropriate for the development of the lot. 4. Is the variance minor in nature? The variance is deemed to be minor on the basis that the existing structure is also located at this setback distance from Barbara Avenue. Recommendation It is recornmended that application A-2/99 be approved subject to the standard conditions of approval. Decision . Moved by Alan Martin, seconded by Dave Edwards " That the Committee hereby grant the minor variance application A-2/99 subject to the following conditions: 1. That a sketch of surveylreal property report by an Ontario Land Surveyor be submitted to the Township once the construction reached grade level; 2.

Plan M-295, Lot 20 (former Oro) The Proposal Relief is requested from the front yard setback requirement of 8.0 metres (26.2feetj to 2.63 metres (8.62 feet) to permit the construction of a two-car garage addition to the existing dwelling. Policy Official Plan Designation: Rural Settlement Area Zoning By-law: Residential Rural One*82 (RUR*82) Comments • Roads Superintendent: Drainage easement must be maintained with no obstruction. Health Unit: No Objection Planning Department Comments 1. Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan? The subject property is designated Rural Settlement Area in the Official Plan. The general intent of the policies is to ensure the orderly development of the cotnmunities in the township. The variance as proposed would not maintain the large openness of the subdivision. 2. Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law? The subject property is zoned Residential One Exception 82 (RUR*82) in By-law 97-95. The exception relates to the front and rear yard setbacks, the lot area and the minimum gross floor area. The general intent of this zone is to establish setback requirements that maintain the country/estate residential character of the area. The proposed variance as proposed would significantly reduce the side yazd setback and potentially create a . precedentfor other properties in the future. 1 • 3. Is the variance desirable for the appropriate development of the lot? As proposed the variance is not considered appropriate for the development of the property. Upon site inspection it is evident that the property currently has a one and a half car gazage. It is also evident that this subdivision is relatively wide open with very little vegetation buffering. To allow the variance as proposed would establish a precedent for this subdivision of setbacks more keeping with a small hamlet of small lots and setbacks. This was certainly not the intent with the subdivision in the past. 4. Is the variance minor in nature? The variance as proposed would not be considered minor in nature; however based on a review of the site conditions it may be appropriate to permit an additional single car gazage addition to the existing dwelling. This should be explored with the applicant. Recommendation It is recommended that application A-3/99 be denied as requested; but the committee could consider an alternative which would permit a single car addition. Decision • Moved by Dave Edwazds, seconded by Ken Robbins "That the Committee hereby grant as amended to an interior side yard of 3.23 metres (10.62 feet) the minor variance application A-3199 subject to the following conditions: 1.

Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan? The subject property is designated Restricted Rural in the official plan. The general intent of the designation is to preserve the rural character of the area and discourage scattered residential development. The variance as proposed would maintain the general intent of the official plan. 3. Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law? The subject property is Zoned Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) in Zoning By-Law 97-95. The intent of the Zoning By-Law is to establish setbacks to maintain the character of the rural azea. The proposed variance would recognize a storage shed which has been constructed approximately 20 feet closer to Line 15 South than the house. The property is a total of 25 acres and the shed would still be a minimum of 110 feet from the concession road. 3. Is the variance desirable for the appropriate development of the lot? Upon site inspection it is evident that the storage shed is well buffered from the neighbouring property owners by a substantial amount of mature vegetation. The shed is located over 100 feet from the house but is still visible from the azea of the house. The variance as proposed is considered appropriate for the development of the lot because of the large size of the property and the vegetative buffering from neighbouring properties. • • 4.

Policy Official Plan Designation: Zoning By-law: Comments Roads Superintendent: Health Unit: Rural Residential Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Planning Department Comments • 1. Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan? The subject property is designated Rural Residential in the official plan. The general intent of the Official Plan is to recognize the existing chalet residential development in the township. This variance would recognize an addition constructed in 1986. 2. Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-taw? The subject property is Zoned Rural Residential Two in By-Law 97-95. The general intent of the By-Law is to establish the appropriate setback requirements for residential subdivisions. As this is an existing residence it is deemed to generally comply with the zoning By-Law. 3. Is the variance desirable for the appropriate development of the lot? In 1986 a building permit was issued for an accessory building (detached gazage) this is further confirmed on the health unit approval in 1986 for a detached garage. At some point after the permit was issued the garage was attached to the house with an addition. No additional permit was obtained and no revisions was made to the 1986 permit. The current owner purchased the property in 1995 but an up to date survey was not completed until this yeaz. The structure as shown on the survey has been in existence for a period of more than 10 yeazs and there would not appear to be any benefit in removing the addition. 4. Is the variance minor in nature? The variance is considered minor in nature on the basis that this is an existing structure which is some what buffered from the adjoining neighbour.
