proposed 5.7 metres (18.8 feet).

4. BACKGROUND
The subject property has a road frontage of approximately 30 metres {100 feet}, a shoreline frontage of
approximately 42 metres (140 feet} and a lot area of approximately 0.2 hectares (0.5 acres}. The lands
currently have a single storey dwelling with a gross floor area of 135 m2 (1,457 ft2). The owner is
proposing to construct a boathouse which is proposed to have a height of 5.7 metres {18 feet) above the
average highwater mark of lake Simcoe. The reason for the requested variance is that the proposed
boathouse height will exceed the maximum height of 4.5 metres (14.7 feet) as defined by Zoning By-law
97-95.
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 applicant is not requesting an increase in boathouse area or a variance to setbacks just height. The
requested height variance would appear to maintain the character of the shoreline area. 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 genera! intent of the Zoning By-law?
The subject property is zoned Shoreline Residential (SR) in Zoning By-law 97-95, as amended. 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 shoreline being
dominated by the boathouse structures and ultimately impacting the character of the shoreline. The
proposed boathouse meets the setback provisions of the By-law and the percentage of water frontage
,,.
occupied by the structure. The boathouse structure does Hat exceed 4.5, however the proposed
boathouse height will exceed the maximum height standard by 1.2 metres. Boathouse height is
calculated from the average high water mark not just the height of the baathause structure. It should be
Hated that the baathause is setback approximately 4.5 metres (14.7 feet) from the average highwater
mark. The prapased baathause will remain, visually, secondary to the dwelling, will not dominate the
shoreline, and will Hat 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 far the desirable development of the tot?
Based on the site inspection, the proposed boathouse height would appear to be appropriate for the
desirable development of the lot and in keeping with the surrounding shoreline area.
It should be Hated that there is mature cedar hedge located along the interior property line of the
proposed boathouse which will provide a visual buffer to the neighboring property.
Given that the proposed boathouse height will not result in the over-development of the subject lot or the
shoreline, the proposal is considered appropriate for the desirable development of the subject lot.
is the variance minor?
As this application is deemed to conform with the Official Plan, maintain the intent of the Zoning By-law
and is appropriate development, the variance is considered to be minor.
5. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Committee grant Minor Variance 2008-A-41 subject to the following
conditions:
1. That the maximum height of the proposed boathouse Hat exceed 5.7 metres;
2. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township 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,
3. 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:
i. The boathouse not exceed a maximum height of 5.7 metres
4. That the applicants obtain approval from the take Simcoe Region Conservation Authority under the
Conservation Authorities Act.
5. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application and on the
sketches submitted with the application and approved by the Committee
All of which is respectfully submitted,

Township of Oro-Medonte (Oro), County of Simcoe
The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA} has reviewed the above noted Minor
Variance application in the context of the Provincial Policy Statement 2005 (PPS - 2005), and
Ontario Regulation 179/06 made under the Conservation Authorities Act. This application, if
approved, would permit the construction of a new boathouse with a maximum height of 5.7
metres above the Average Annual High Water Mark (AAHWM) of Lake Simcoe (219.15 mash.
Our mapping indicates that the above noted property is partially within the Approved Regulation
Limit of the LSRCA. The western portion of the above noted site is regulated for a watercourse
with associated meanderbelt (erosion allowance) and Regional Storm floodplain (P'E = 223.13
znasl). The southern portion of the above noted site is regulated for shoreline erosion allowance
and 100-year wave uprush (FE = 220.14 mash. A permit may be required for any future
development of the regulated portion of the above noted property.
Based on our review, we provide the following comments:
1. Based on our mapping, the proposed boathouse is located within the regulated portion
of this property. A permit under Ontario Regulation 179/06 is required from the LSRCA
for the proposed development. Please note, the boathouse must be designed to withstand
the effects of ice action and wave uprush, and the drawings are to be stamped, signed and
dated by the structural engineer.
A 2. The proposed boathouse is partially within the area affected by the 100-year wave
uprush. The LSRCA requires that all electrical outlets, main panel, and permanent
Watershed heating equipment in the proposed boathouse be positioned a minimum of 5 cm above
the 100-year wave uprush elevation of 220.14 mall.
for Lrfe 3. Please be advised that the LSRCA development fee for this application is X200.00 in
accordance with our Planning and Development Fees Policy. The applicant should be
advised that currently this fee is outstanding and to please forward the above mentioned
fee as soon as possible. By copy of this letter to the applicant, we request that they
submit the above mentioned fee at this time.

Based on the above noted information, the LSRCA has no objection to the Minor Variance
application, subject to the following conditions:
1. That a permit under Ontario Regulation 179/06 be obtained from the LSRCA, prior to
the issuance of a municipal building permit for the proposed new boathouse. Please note,
a permit application (IMS No.: RPMA4473) has been submitted for the proposed
boathouse.
That prior to any site alteration, proper erosion and sediment control measures must be
in place.
The LSRCA requests that payment of the outstanding LSRCA review fee of $200.00 be
made a condition of approval of the above noted Minor Variance application.
I trust this meets your requirements at this time. In order to facilitate our processing of this file,
please reference the above noted file numbers in future correspondence. If you have questions,
please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at 905-895-1281, extension 287. Please advise
us of your decision in this matter.
