The purpose of application 2011 -B -04 is to permit the creation of a new agricultural lot by way of
severance for a proposed equestrian facility. The lands to be severed lands are proposed to have an
average depth of 214 metres, frontage along Ingram Road having an average frontage of 201 metres,
and a lot area of 4.0 hectares. The land to be retained is proposed to have a lot area of
approximately 17 hectares. The retained lands currently have a dwelling and agricultural buildings,
while the proposed severed lands are currently vacant.
FINANCIAL:
Not applicable.
POLICIES /LEGISLATION:
Official Plan
The subject property is designated Rural by the Official Plan. Section C2.2 of the Official Plan
outlines the permitted uses within the Rural designation, which include agricultural and single
detached dwellings.
Section C2.2 of the Official Plan does not have direct policies that relate to the creation of lot for
agricultural purposes, and thus the policies found in Section D2.2.1 apply.
a) Fronts on and will be directly accessed by a public road that is maintained year round basis:
The proposed severed lands would have frontage on Ingram Road and Line 7 North and the retained
land will have frontage on the Ingram Road, which are public roadways maintained year -round by the
Township of Oro- Medonte.
b) Does not have direct access to a Provincial Highway or County Road, unless the Province or
the County supports the request;
The properties will not have access to a Provincial Highway or County Road.
c) Will not cause a traffic hazard;
This application proposes to create an agricultural lot. Significant traffic volume will not be generated
by any agricultural or residential use if located on the proposed severed lands. The applicant will be
required to apply for and obtain an entrance permit from the Township Public Works Department.
d) Has adequate size and frontage for the proposed use in accordance with the Comprehensive
Zoning By -law and is compatible with adjacent uses;
The application proposes to create an agricultural lot for the operation of an equestrian facility. The
lands proposed to be severed would have a frontage along Ingram Road of approximately 211
metres, and frontage along Line 7 North of approximately 214 metres, a lot area of approximately 4.0
hectares. The lands to be retained would have frontage along Ingram Road of approximately 540
metres, and a lot area of approximately 17 hectares. The severed parcel currently vacant and
complies with the minimum required lot area for a equestrian facility use in the A/RU Zone is 4.0
hectares, and the minimum lot frontage is 45 metres. It has been noted that the proposed severed
and retained lands would meet the lot area and frontage of the A/RU Zone.

Application No. 2011 -B -04 Page 2 of 7
Page 20 of 123
5b) - 2011 -B -04 - Wayne and Catherine Blak...
e) Can be serviced with an appropriate water supply and means of sewage disposal,
The applicant will be required at the time of submission of building permit to meet all requirements for
septic system installation and private water supply. The Township Zoning By -law has established a
minimum lot area of 4.0 hectares for an equestrian facilituy use in the A/RU Zone to reflect
development on private services.
f) Will not have a negative impact on the drainage patterns in the area;
Any future development will be reviewed by the Township Building Department, where the
construction of any agricultural buildings and single detached dwelling may be subject to the
completion of a lot grading and drainage plan to ensure water runoff has no negative impact on
neighbouring properties.
g) Will not restrict the development of the retained lands or other parcels of land, particularly as it
relates to the provision of access, if they are designated for development by this Plan;
The retained lands, will meet with the minimum required lot frontage and area requirements of the
Zoning By -law. No development applications are active adjacent to the subject lands, and as such no
negative impacts with respect to access are anticipated as a result of this consent.
h) Will not have a negative impact on the features and functions of any ecological feature in the
area;
Both the severed and retained lands are within the regulation area of the Nottawasaga Valley
Conservation Authority and therefore would require further consultation in order to determine if a
permit is required under the Conservation Authority's Act. The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority have commented stating they have no objection to the proposed consent.
i) Will not have a negative impact on the quality and quantity of groundwater available for other
uses in the area;
Any future development would require appropriate approvals for a well, which would ensure it would
not negatively impact the quality and quantity of groundwater.
As such, the proposed creation of a new agricultural lot by way of severance for an equestrian facility
is generally in keeping with the intent of the rural policies stated in the Official Plan. For the purpose
of this application, it is noted that the creation of new lots by way of severance is permitted within the
Rural designation, where the tests of severance listed in Section D2.2.1 of the Official Plan are met.
The proposed severed and retained lots would front on a municipal road, would not be located within
an environmentally sensitive area, and would comply with relevant Zoning provisions. Based on these
factors, the application to create a new agricultural lot through severance maintains the general intent
of the Official Plan. On this basis, the policies of Section D2.2.1 have been satisfied.
County Official Plan
In analyzing this Consent application, Township staff reviewed both the County Official Plan currently
in effect as well as the Official Plan adopted by County Council in November 2008. Township have
circulated the application to the County of Simcoe Planning Department, who have stated they have
no comment on the proposed application. Section 3.6.8 of the County Official Plan permit the
severance of lots within Rural areas for agricultural related uses, provided they are restricted in size
in order to conserve other lands in larger blocks for agricultural uses. Due to the applicant requested
to create the minimum lot area requirement of 4.0 hectares for an equestrian facility, the retained land

Application No. 2011 -B -04 Page 3 of 7
Page 21 of 123
5b) - 2011 -B -04 - Wayne and Catherine Blak...
having a lot area of approximately 17 hectares, would conserve the agricultural use, thus satisfying
this policy. Therefore, it is our opinion that the proposed development generally conforms to the
policies of both County Official Plans (approved and adopted).
Provincial Policy Statement
The intent of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) is to build strong and healthy communities while
at the same time promoting efficient land use and development patterns.
Policy 1.1.4.1(c) contains the policies that in rural areas that development that is compatible with the
rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels should be promoted. The surrounding
land uses consist of large agriculturally related land uses. Therefore the proposed equestrian facility
would be in keeping rural landscape of the area.
In Policy 1.6, "Infrastructure and Public Service Facilities ", addresses issues such as the use of
existing infrastructure and public service facilities should be optimized, wherever feasible, before
consideration is given to developing new infrastructure and public service facilities. The lot would be
serviced by an individual well and private septic system at the time that any buildings were proposed
to be constructed.
The proposed Consent application which provides for the severance to create an agricultural lot with
a lot area of 4.0 hectares for an equestrian facility is considered to be consistent with the Provincial
Policy Statement.
Places to Grow
The application has been reviewed with reference to the Place to Grow policies that have been in
place since 2006. In Policy 2.2.9 - Rural Areas there are provisions that allow for development to
occur outside of settlement areas in site specific locations with approved designations. As stated
above, the Township's Official Plan does not have policies within the Rural Designation, for the
creation of agricultural lots, however the proposed use of an equestrian facility as the main use on the
proposed severed lot would be in accordance with the Rural policies within the Official Plan. Based
on the above the proposed agricultural severance in the Rural designation would be in conformity
with the Provincial Growth Plan.
ZONING BY -LAW
The subject property is currently zoned Agricultural /Rural (A/RU) Zone in the Township's Zoning By-
law 97 -95, as amended. The proposed severed and retained lots would continue to comply with the
provisions of the Agricultural /Rural (A/RU) Zone, as the minimum lot area and frontage for an
equestrian facility have been met.
Therefore, the application would comply with the provisions as prescribed by the Zoning By -law.

CONCLUSION:
In the opinion of the Planning Department, Consent application 2011 -B -04 conforms to the Official
Plan, as the future development of an equestrian facility would be in keeping with the Rural
designation policies and the A/RU Zone permitted uses. It should be noted that the applicant will have
to provide and comply with the Minimum Distance Separation formulae (MDS) prior to the issuance of
a building permit for the proposed equestrian facility.

FINANCIAL:
Not applicable.
POLICIES /LEGISLATION:
Official Plan
The subject lands are designated Agricultural by the Official Plan (OP). Section D2 of the OP
contains policies with respect to subdivision of land. Specifically, Section D2.2.2 "Boundary
Adjustments ", provides the following guidance for Consent Applications in general:
"a consent may be permitted for the purpose of modifying lot boundaries, provided no new building lot
is created... the Committee of Adjustment shall be satisfied that the boundary adjustment will not
affect the viability of the use of the properties affected. "
With respect to the application at hand, no new building lots are being created and it is not anticipated
that the proposed boundary adjustment would affect the viability of the agricultural parcel. The
subject lands are vacant with a treed vegetative buffer, which is to be conveyed to the enhanced lot
and would serve has the new lot line location. As such, the proposed boundary adjustment is
generally in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan, and conforms with the boundary adjustment
policies contained in Section D.2.2.2.
County Official Plan
The subject lands are designated Rural designation in the County of Simcoe's Official Plan. Section
3.3.4 of the County's Official Plan, "General Subdivision and Development Policies ", states that
"Consents for the purpose of boundary adjustments and consolidation of land holdings are permitted
but shall not be for the purpose of creating new lots except as otherwise permitted in this Plan. All lots
created shall conform to all applicable municipal policies and bylaws."
On this basis, the proposed consent appears to generally conform to the policies of the County of
Simcoe's Official Plan.
Provincial Policy Statement
The Provincial Policy Statement does not contain policies directly related to Lot adjustments
(boundary adjustments) in the "Rural Areas" areas. The policies are related to the creation of a new
lot or development, which are not proposed by this application.
Zoning By -law
The subject property is currently zoned Agricultural /Rural (A/RU) Zone by the Township's Zoning By-
law. The lot to be enhanced, 82 Line 3 South, is also zoned Agricultural /Rural (A/RU) Zone. The
enhanced lot currently contains a single detached dwelling and an accessory building. The intended
use on the enhanced lot is to remain residential. The enhanced lot currently has a frontage of
approximately 44 metres and a total lot area of 0.34 hectares, which does not conform to the Zoning
requirements of the A/RU Zone. With the lands to be conveyed, the enhanced lands will have a lot
frontage of 80 metres and a total lot area of 0.84 hectares, thus being the lot into conformity with the
Zoning By -law. The retained lands will have a proposed lot area of approximately 38 hectares.
Therefore, the application would comply with the provisions as prescribed by the Zoning By -law

(Duane Wright and Janice Lefaive)
103 Blueberry Marsh Road
Concession 2, East Part Lot 65
Roll #:
R.M.S. File #:
4346- 020 - 009 -21501
(Former Township of Medonte)
D13 -41280
REQUIRED CONDITIONS:
The following conditions are required to be imposed on the Committee's decision:

ANALYSIS:
The purpose of this report is to consider Minor Variance Application 2011 -A -01, for relief from the
Township's Comprehensive Zoning By -Law in relation to the maximum floor area and maximum height
for a detached accessory building. The applicant is requesting the following relief from Table B1 of
Zoning By -law 97 -95:
Zone: Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Zone Required Proposed
1. Section 5.1.4 — Maximum height 4.5 metres 5.2 metres
2. Section 5.1.6 — Maximum floor area 100 square metres 144.93 square metres
FINANCIAL:
Not applicable.
I
POLICIES/LEGISLATION: I
Do the variances conform to the general intent of the Official Plan?
The subject property has portions of land designated Rural and Environmental Protection One,
respectively, and is entirely located within the Environmental Protection Two Overlay designation, in
the Township's Official Plan. The portion of the subject property in the Rural designation is located in
the northeast corner. Section C2 of the Township's Official Plan states that the objectives of 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 and /or resource activities of the area." Permitted uses in this
designation include "single detached dwellings".
Where environmental features are identified in the Township's planning policies, and development is
proposed to take place within the environmental feature (or "adjacent lands" thereto), the appropriate
agencies from whom comments are sought are one of the two Conservation Authorities with
jurisdiction over defined areas within the Township. The subject application, and revision thereto, has
been circulated to the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) for commenting, and has
advised that it "has no objection to its approval', by letter dated April 5, 2011. In comments received
from the NVCA from the first proposal for a detached accessory building in the same approximate
location as the current proposal, the NVCA has advised that an Environmental Impact Study (EIS)
would not provide the NVCA with any additional information beyond what is already known. NVCA
staff also previously advised that no impacts are anticipated through the construction of the proposed
garage "which cannot be mitigated through the application of conditions of a permit under the
[Conservation Authorities] Acf'. Based on comments from NVCA staff, it is the opinion of Planning
Department staff that the general intent of the Official Plan is maintained through the NVCA's non -
objection to the subject application while not requiring the applicant to complete and EIS and MP.
On the basis that the proposed detached accessory building is proposed to be located in the Rural
designation portion of the lot, and on the basis that the NVCA has stated that it has no objection to
the approval of the application, the proposed variances are considered to conform to the general
intent of the Official Plan.

Application No. 2011 -A -01 Page 2 of 9
Page 58 of 123
5e) - 2011 -A -01 (Revised) - Duane Wright a...
Do the variances meet the general intent of the Zoning By -law?
The subject property is zoned Agricultural /Rural (A/RU) Zone by the Township's Zoning By -Law 97-
95 and, per Table B4A of the Zoning By -Law, the permitted use on this property based on its lot
area, is a single detached dwelling. As stated above, the property currently contains a single
detached dwelling with a floor area of approximately 102.2 square metres (1,100 square feet), and an
attached garage with a floor area of approximately 37.16 square metres (400 square feet). The
applicant is proposing to construct a detached accessory building with a floor area of 144.93 square
metres (1,560 square feet) and a height of 5.2 metres (17.1 feet).
1. Section 5.1.4 — Maximum height
Section 5.1.4 of the Zoning By -Law states that "[the] maximum height of any detached accessory
building ... is 4.5 metres". The purpose of a maximum height for detached accessory buildings is to
restrict the visual impact of accessory buildings and to ensure that their visual prominence will remain
clearly secondary to the main use and /or main building on the lot.
On the basis that the height of the proposed detached accessory building, at 5.2 metres above grade,
is not anticipated to compromise the visual prominence of the existing single detached dwelling on
the property, the proposed variance from the maximum height provision is considered to meet
the general intent of the Zoning By -Law.
2. Section 5.1.6 — Maximum floor area
Section 5.1.6 of the Zoning By -Law states that "on lots in the Agricultural /Rural (A/RU) Zone with an
area less than 2.0 hectares (4.94 acres), the maximum floor area of any one detached accessory
building or structure may not exceed 100 square metres". The purpose for regulated the maximum
floor area for detached accessory buildings, based on lot size, is to ensure that no one detached
accessory building will compromise the main use and /or visual prominence of the main building on a
lot with an area less than 2.0 hectares, being a residential use or a single detached dwelling.
Although the proposed accessory building on the subject property would occupy a floor area of
approximately 144.93 square metres, composed of approximately 111.48 square metres of enclosed
space, and approximately 33.4 square metres of unenclosed space, the definition of the term
"Building" in the Township's Zoning By -Law requires the inclusion of the area beneath the proposed
"lean -to" in the calculation of the proposed accessory building's "Floor Area ", due to the supporting
posts acting as a "structural system serving the function" of a wall.
As previously stated, the applicant has advised that the proposed detached accessory building is to
be used for the storage of vehicles, inclusive of a boat and recreational vehicle, and a lawn mower
and other seasonal equipment. This proposed accessory building would have a floor area (144.93
square metres) greater than the existing dwelling on the property (139.36 square metres), and it is
proposed to be located closer to the front and exterior side lot lines that the existing dwelling on the
property.
Therefore, on the basis of the following reasons, the proposed variance from the maximum floor
area provision is not considered to meet the general intent of the Township's Zoning By -Law:
Development Services Meeting Date April 21, 2011
Application No. 2011 -A -01 Page 3 of 9
Page 59 of 123
5e) - 2011 -A -01 (Revised) - Duane Wright a...
1. the proposed accessory building would be larger than the existing dwelling on the property; and
2. the proposed accessory building would be considered to compromise the main use of the lot
and /or the main building on the lot, being the single detached dwelling.
Are the variances appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
A site inspection revealed that a moderate vegetative buffer presently exists between the proposed
location of the proposed detached accessory building, and Blueberry Marsh Road. This site
inspection also revealed that accessory buildings on nearby properties do not compromise the visual
prominence of single detached dwellings on these lots.
On the basis that the proposed detached accessory building would be: 1) anticipated to have a
significant visual impact, and 2) larger (at 144.93 square metres) than the existing dwelling on the lot
(at 139.36 square metres), the proposed variance from the maximum floor area provision is not
considered appropriate for the desirable development of the lot.
With respect to the proposed variance from the maximum height for the proposed detached
accessory building, the proposed increase in the height permitted for a detached accessory building,
from 4.5 metres to 5.2 metres, would not be anticipated to compromise the visual prominence of the
existing dwelling, and would also not be anticipated to compromise the main use of the lot, for a
residential purpose with a single detached dwelling. On this basis, the proposed variance from the
maximum height provision is considered appropriate for the desirable development of the lot.
Are the variances minor?
As the proposed variance from the maximum height provision of the Zoning By -Law would result in a
15 per cent increase in the maximum height of a detached accessory building, the proposed variance
from the maximum height provision is considered to be minor.
The proposed variance from the maximum floor area, however, would have the effect of an
approximate increase of 45 per cent increase in the maximum floor area presently allowed for a
detached accessory building on the property. Further, the proposed 144.93 square metre building
would lead to a detached accessory building on the property that occupies a larger area on the lot
than the existing dwelling. Therefore, the proposed variance from the maximum floor area provision
for a detached accessory building is not considered to be minor.

CONCLUSION:
In the opinion of the Planning Department, a portion of Variance Application 2011 -A -01, specifically,
to permit the construction of a detached accessory building occupying a total area of approximately
144.93 square metres (1,560 square feet) on the subject property does not appear to meet the four
tests of the Planning Act.
However, it is the opinion of the Planning Department that a portion of Variance Application 2011 -A-
01, specifically, to permit the construction of a detached accessory building with a height of 5.2
metres (17.1 feet) on the subject property, does appear to meet the four tests of the Planning Act.

ANALYSIS:
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing non conforming dwelling and construct a new one
closer to the watercourse on the south side of the property. The applicant is requesting relief from
Section 5.33 "Setback from Water Courses for the dwelling and detached private garage:"
Section 5.33: Setback from a Water Course: Required Proposed
30 metres 6.0 metres (Dwelling)
6.0 metres (Detached Private Garage)
FINANCIAL:
Not applicable.
POLICIES /LEGISLATION:
Township of Oro - Medonte Official Plan?
The property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. Section C5.1 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 proposed dwelling and accessory buildings would appear to maintain
the character of the shoreline residential area, as dwellings and accessory buildings are a permitted
use in the shoreline designation. Therefore, the variances would conform to the general intent of
the policies contained in the Official Plan.
Township of Oro - Medonte Comprehensive Zoning By -law 97 -95
The subject lot is currently zoned Shoreline Residential Exception 2 (SR *2) Zone. The primary
purpose of regulating structures from being built within the 30 metres setback from a watercourse 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 applicant has been in contact with the Lake
Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, and who have commented that the new dwelling and
detached private garage cannot be located closer to the watercourse then the existing dwelling. This
would require that the proposed new dwelling and detached private garage to the located no closer
than 6.0 metres from the top of bank of the watercourse.
When a site inspection was done by Planning staff, it was revealed there were mature cedar hedge
along the interior property line and towards the front of the property. This tree vegetation would
provide an adequate buffer between the proposed dwelling and the neighbouring dwellings. Therefore
the proposed dwelling and detached private garage meets the general intent of the Zoning By -law.

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 dwelling and will
continue to maintain the shoreline character of the area. Due to the location of the watercourse and
the shape of the property, the applicant is limited to possible area on where to develop. The proposed
dwelling will be located over the existing building foot print. The proposed detached private garage is
the only new proposed structure to be located on the subject lands. It is therefore determined that the
proposed dwelling and detached private garage are appropriate for the development on the lot.
Is the variance minor?
On the basis that the proposal is reasonable and would not appear to adversely affect to the
surrounding properties, and that this type of development is a common feature in the shoreline area
and will not have a negative impact on privacy or access for either the subject or surrounding
properties, the proposed variance is considered to be minor.

CONCLUSION:
After reviewing the comments received from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority
(LSRCA) in regards to Variance Application 2011- A- 02(Revised), being to reduce the minimum
required setback from the top of bank of a watercourse from 30 metres to 6.0 metres for a dwelling
and 6.0 metres for a private garage, Planning Staff concur with the comments of LSRCA. The
proposed dwelling and detached private garage should not be located closer than the existing
dwelling (6.0 metres) to the top of bank of the watercourse. In the opinion of the Planning
Department, Variance application 2011 -A -04, being an application for relief from the required
setbacks to the top of bank of a watercourse, appears to satisfy the tests of the Planning Act.

REQUIRED CONDITIONS:
The following conditions are required to be imposed on the Committee's decision:
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 that the detached private garage be no closer
than approximately 1.5 metre from the front lot line, 1.5 metre from the east interior side lot line
and approximately 23 metres from the Environmental Protection (EP) Zone.
2. That a tree planting plan be submitted and approved by the Township with the associated
securities to ensure that replacement of the vegetative buffer can occur.
3. That the appropriate zoning certificate and 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.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is proposing to construct a one - storey private garage occupying a floor area of
approximately 40.2 square metres, with a height of 3.4 metres, and is proposed to be located 1.5
metres from the front lot line and the interior side lot line to the east. The applicant is also proposing a
23 metre setback to the Environmental Protection (EP) Zone.

3. Section 5.28 — Setback to Environmental Protection (EP) 30 metres 23 metres
FINANCIAL:
Not applicable.
POLICIES /LEGISLATION:
Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. Section C5 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.
• To ensure that existing development is appropriately serviced with water and sewer services
The requested variance for an one - storey detached private garage would appear to maintain the
character of the residential area, as the use is secondary to the residential use and there are similar
accessory detached buildings in the neighbourhood. Therefore, the variance would conform to the
general intent of the policies contained in the Official Plan.
Does the variance comply with the general intent of the Zoning By -law?
The subject property is zoned Shoreline Residential (SR). Detached private garages are permitted in
the Shoreline Residential (SR) Zone. The Zoning By -law permits detached private garage's to be
located in the front yard of properties which abut Lake Simcoe, provided they are not located within
the required front yard setback. The front yard setback for the SR Zone is 7.5m. The purpose of the
setback is to ensure that structures do not cause an obstruction for the travelled portion of the road.
In this instance, it is staff's opinion from observations during a site visit, that the proposed structure
will not hinder the travelled portion of the road as it is being integrated into the existing cedar hedge
and will not extend beyond. Therefore, the intent of the front yard is maintained. Also determined
during the site visit, is that there are other properties in the area which have detached private garage
in similar positions on the lot, close to the road.
In terms of the reduced side yard setback, there is a vegetative buffer between the proposed
structure and the closest neighbouring property. The detached private garage, as proposed, would
not infringe on the neighbour's property. The garage will not be higher than the permitted 4.5m height.
The intention of the side yard setback is to ensure there can be adequate access around the structure
for maintenance etc. Planning staff, have concerns that the vegetative cedar buffer along the interior
lot line will be disturbed with the construction of a private garage at 1.5 metres from the interior lot
line. Therefore, staff recommend that the subject lands be placed under site plan control in order for a
tree planting plan be submitted to ensure the vegetative buffer along the east interior lot line on the
subject lands in maintained or enhanced. The 1.5 metre setback will still permit some access to the
eastern side and therefore the intent of the setback is maintained with the condition of a holding
provision being placed on the subject lands.

The location of the proposed garage is also within the required 30 metre setback from an
Environmental Protection Zone. The applicant is proposing to be approximately 23 metres from the
EP Zone, which is located to the west of the subject lands. Due to the size of the subject lands, the
applicant is unable to located the proposed private garage further from the existing EP boundary line.
The proposed private garage will not be located any closer than the existing dwelling to the EP
boundary line, and therefore a negative impact on the environmental feature is not anticipated.
On the basis of the above, the proposal is considered to comply with the general intent of the Zoning
By -law.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
It would be considered desirable development for the lot to construct a detached accessory building
as it is a permitted use. The proposed location is desirable, as it is the only location in the front yard
that does not infringe on the septic system, setbacks to the septic system and preserves the mature
trees along the front lot line, which provide a degree of separation from the travelled portion of the
road and surrounding lots.
Is the variance minor?
Based on the above analysis and site visit, it is planning staff's opinion that the application should not
adversely affect the character of the surrounding area, and is consistent with the current character of
similar accessory structures; therefore the proposed variance is considered to be minor in nature.

(EP) Zone for a detached private garage, appears to satisfy the tests of the Planning Act.

BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this report is to consider a Variance Application 2011 -A -07, for relief from the
Township's Comprehensive Zoning By -law in relation to the maximum floor area and height of a two
storey private garage in the SR Zone. The applicant is also seeking relief from Section 5.33, "setback
from watercourses ".
The subject property has a lot frontage of 24.8 metres on Robinson Street, a depth of 155 metres,
and a lot area of 0.3 hectares. The subject property contains a single detached dwelling, built in
approximately 2007. The applicant is proposing to construct a storey and half detached private
garage with a total floor area of approximately 145.7 square metres, which is to be located in the
northwest corner of the property, approximately 26.5 metres from the front lot line. The applicant has
indicated that the increased garage floor area is needed to accommodate parking of vehicles and
storage of equipment.
ANALYSIS:
PURPOSE OF APPLICATION:
The applicant is proposing to construct a one and half storey detached private garage with a floor area
of approximately 145.7 square metres (1,568.6 square feet), consisting of a first storey occupying
approximately 91.8 square metres (988 square feet), and a second storey having a floor area of
approximately 53.9 square metres (581 square feet). The second storey of the proposed private
garage is proposed to be used for storage. The proposed private garage is proposed to have a height
of 5.3 metres (17.4 feet). The applicant is requesting the following relief from Zoning By -law 97 -95:
Zone: Shoreline Residential (SR) Zone Required Proposed
1. Section 5.1.4 — Maximum height 4.5 metres 5.3 metres
2. Section 5.1.6 — Maximum floor area 70 sq metres 145.7sq metres
3. Section 5.33 — Setback from Water Courses 30 metres 9.14 metres

The requested variance for an accessory building would appear to maintain the character of the
residential area, as the use is secondary to the residential use and there are similar accessory
detached buildings in the neighbourhood. Therefore, the variance would conform to the general intent
of the policies contained in the Official Plan.
Does the variance comply with the general intent of the Zoning By -law?
The subject property is zoned Shoreline Residential (SR) Zone. The purpose for regulating the size,
height and location of detached accessory structures is to ensure that such buildings remain clearly
secondary to the primary use of the lot, in this case being residential. Provisions for the maximum
floor area for private garages in the SR Zone are limited to a maximum floor area of 70 square
metres. The applicant has indicated that the need for a two storey private garage with a total floor
area of approximately 145.9 square metres is to accommodate parking of vehicles and storage of
equipment. The ground floor of the private garage has a floor area of approximately 91.7 square
metres, while the second storey has a floor area of approximately 53 square metres. The gross floor
area of the existing dwelling is 255 square metres and such, the proposed garage will remain
secondary to the dwelling.
Aside from the maximum floor area provision, maximum height and setback to a watercourse the
proposed private garage will otherwise meet with the required interior side and front yard setbacks,
setback to the dwelling, and will not exceed the maximum 5 percent lot coverage provision.
The location of the proposed garage is also within the required 30 metre setback from the top of bank
of a watercourse. The applicant is proposing to be approximately 9.14 metres from the top of bank of
the watercourse, which is located to the south of the proposed private garage. Due to watercourse
going through the middle of the property, the applicant is unable to locate the proposed private
garage further from the existing watercourse, without removing additional vegetation.
Therefore, the variance is considered to maintain the general intent of the Zoning By -law.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
A site inspection revealed that the proposed garage will be located approximately 26 metres from the
front property boundary, and approximately an additional 50 metres in front the existing dwelling. As
such, the existing dwelling will be well in behind the garage, and thus remain visually predominant.
The site inspection also revealed that the subject lands are located in an area of the Township, where
surrounding lands to the north consist of mainly large agricultural parcels. It was also noted that there
consists a large vegetative treed buffer along the front lot and interior side lot lines which will provide
a buffer and the proposed garage would not cause a visual impact from Robinson Street. The
proposed location is clear of any tree vegetation, which will allow for the applicant to have no need for
tree removal. The neighbouring dwellings are located approximately 50 metres away, as such, the
distance would likely reduce the negative visual or aesthetic impact for the neighbouring residences
based on spatial separation.
On this basis the proposal is considered desirable for the appropriate 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 constitutes appropriate development, the variance is considered to be minor.

WORKSHOPS
You are asked to rank the workshop presentations in order of your personal preference for each day (see
Conference Registration Form). The Conference Committee will do our utmost to accommodate your requests.
Following is an outline of each workshop to be offered on Monday, May 30, 2011 and Tuesday, May 31, 2011.
Note that some will be of more pertinence to Committee members, while other are targeted for staff. Many are
relevant to everyone.
MONDAY. MAY 30.2011
"Legal Non- Conforming Uses " — Mark L. Dorfman, FCIP, RPP, Mark L. Dorfman, Planner Inc.
Mark returns after facilitating this workshop for three years. This year, the focus of the workshop is on
Committee decisions and conditions in the context of the history of zoning practice in Ontario and the role of
the Committee of Adjustment in obtaining permission to extend legal non- conforming uses. This workshop
engages participants in a learning exercise, although the law has not substantively changed in 64 years since
committees were first established. For the many new members of committees, this workshop will provide the
setting of why variances are important planning tools.
"Minimum Distance Separation & Minor Variances" — Drew Crinklaw, Rural Planner, Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs
Drew will discuss various real -life scenarios where Planning Act or building permit applications may meet the
intent, if not the precise distances of MDS I and MDS 11. In such circumstances, he will outline where the
Committee of Adjustment may wish to consider the merits of a minor variance that would reduce the required
Minimum Distance Separation distance.
"Ministry Roles, Overview of Legislation " — Jill Bellchamber- Glazier, Municipal Advisor, Ministry of Municipal
Affairs and Housing and "FOI, Conflict of Interest" - Doug Hodgson, Hodgson Law, Civil & Environmental
Litigation
This workshop starts with Jill's presentation describing the legislative framework and how it is meant to work.
Doug Hodgson will follow discussing the `common law' aspects, explaining conflict of interest in the context of
judicial and quasi - judicial decision making. The speakers will present a fact situation that raises issues around
conflict of interest, followed by a group discussion.
"Committee Guidelines — A Training Manual for Committee Members" — Nancy Sozzato, Secretary -
Treasurer, Committee of Adjustment and Clerk, Town of Pelham
At this session, Nancy will be presenting information aimed at orienting newly appointed Committee members
to the role of a decision -maker in the ever - changing municipal planning field.

"How the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation ( MPAC) Uses Land Information for Assessment
Purposes" —Gina Stone, MPAC, A.I.M.A., Legislation and Policy Analyst
"How MPAC (Municipal Property Assessment Corporation) continually partners with
municipalities /stakeholders to obtain information aimed at increasing the accuracy of the Assessment Roll
(e.g. Consent for lot line adjustments, building permits etc.) " — Annette Beaudoin, M.I.M.A,. AACI,
MPAC Municipal Relations
Gina Stone is a Legislation and Policy Analyst at MPAC's head office in Pickering. For the past 7 years Gina has
provided Assessment Act and related legislation and policy support to all levels of MPAC management and
staff, as well as to external stakeholders such as municipalities, other ministries, and property taxpayers.
Gina's presentation will review how MPAC handles the creation of new assessment parcels by way of
registration of title documents such as Transfers, M- Plans, R -Plans including consent decisions that affect
severances and consolidations. She will also explain what MPAC determines to be an assessment parcel.
Annette Beaudoin works for MPAC and is the Municipal Relations Representative in the Windsor /Essex field
office. Her review will cover this liaison role with municipalities /stakeholders and particularly in relation to the
processes and remedies as they relate to severance and consolidation enquiries received at the local field
offices.
"Clean Water Act" — Heather Gardiner, Ministry of the Environment and Melissa Sherran, MCIP, RPP,
Development /Policy Planner, Oxford County Community and Strategic Planning Office
Heather will discuss the components and status of the Clean Water Act program, the completion of drinking
water assessment reports and what they mean for municipal decision - making, and when, where, and how to
integrate the findings into decision- making.
Melissa will discuss Oxford County's involvement in the Source Protection process, current policies of the
County Official Plan that affect decision making related to source water protection and how upcoming
development and implementation of Source Protection Plans could change these policies.
"Sound Reasons: The Art and Science of Writing Decisions on Cases before the Committee of Adjustment" —
Peter Pickfield, BA, I.L.B. LL.M, Garrod Pickfield LLP
This workshop will explore the legal issues surrounding the crafting of reasons and conditions of approval in
decisions by Committees of Adjustment and Land Division Committees in dealing with minor variance and consent
applications. Peter will review Ontario Municipal Board and Court cases which have provided guidance and set the
parameters for these types of decisions. Participants will be encouraged to share their
approaches /experiences /opinions on crafting reasons and conditions of approval.
"Nuts & Bolts"— Robin Smith, Director OACA
This session allows the participants to bring up their questions and topics of interest for discussion and
hopefully obtain answers to those nagging little questions. If something about your role as a Member or
Secretary- Treasurer has you wondering, bring your questions and we'll try to help!
