That the request by The Estate of Paul Pickard to permit the division of the subject lands being Part of Lot 12, Plan 282 (municipally known as 1861 Woodview Avenue) through land severance rather than by draft plan of, subdivision, be approved. Executive Summary: The Estate of Paul Pickard is requesting Council approval for the creation of nine residential lots through severance on a 5.6 hectare property at the southeast corner of Pine Grove Avenue and Woodview Avenue. The lands are known municipally as 1861 Woodview Avenue (see Location Map - Attachment #1). The proposal is to create four 15.0 metre lots fronting Woodview Avenue and five 12.0 metre lots fronting Pine Grove Avenue (see Applicant's Submitted Plan - Attachment #2). The Pickering Official Plan requires that land capable of being divided into more than three additional lots be developed by a draft plan of subdivision rather than through land severance, except where it is demonstrated to Council's satisfaction that a draft plan of subdivision is neither appropriate nor necessary. A plan of subdivision is not necessary for the proposed development as the proposed lots will have frontage on fully serviced public roads and no further roads are required as part of this development. It is recommended that the applicant's request to develop the subject lands through land severance be approved, as all City requirements related to the development can be addressed through conditions of severance approval. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of this authorization to develop by land severance.

The lands are known municipally as 1861 Woodview Avenue (see Location Map - Attachment #1). The proposal is to create four 15.0 metre lots fronting Woodview Avenue and five 12.0 metre lots fronting Pine Grove Avenue. The Pickering Official Plan requires that land capable of being divided into more than three additional lots be developed through a draft plan of subdivision rather than through land severance, except where it is demonstrated to Council's satisfaction that a subdivision plan is neither appropriate nor necessary. 1.1 The applicant has submitted the required Land Severance and Zoning By-law amendment applications The applicant has submitted Land Severance Applications to the Region of Durham Land Division Committee (LD 042/11 to LD 045/11) to create the four proposed 15.0 metre lots on Woodview Avenue. Additional severance applications will be submitted for the five proposed 12.0 metre lots on Pine Grove Avenue. The proposed development requires a zoning by-law amendment to allow for the creation of the five 12.0 metres residential lots fronting on Pine Grove. The proposed 15.0 metre lots on Woodview Avenue are permitted by the current zoning, however the applicant is requesting an amendment to permit 1.2 metre side yard widths for these lots. A zoning amendment application (A 5/11) has been submitted and a Public Information Meeting for the application is scheduled to be held at the June 6, 2011 Planning & Development Committee meeting. Staff has requested that the severance applications be tabled until Council has made a decision regarding the appropriate process for lot creation and the proposed zoning by-law amendment. Report PD 16-11 June 6, 2011 Subject: Request for Council's Permission to Develop Lands 49 through Land Severance Page 3 2.0 Discussion: 2.1 Creation of the proposed lots through severance is considered appropriate The subject property is designated "Urban Residential - Low Density Area" in the Official Plan, which permits residential development at a net residential density of up to and including 30 units per net hectare. The proposed development will achieve a density of 16.4 units per net hectare which is consistent with the designation. A plan of subdivision is not necessary for the proposed development as the proposed lots will have frontage on fully serviced public roads and no further, roads are required as part of this development. Any City requirements for developing the subject lands can be addressed through the Land Division process through conditions of approval. Among other conditions, the owner would be required to enter into an appropriate development agreement with the City to address matters typically included in subdivision agreements, such as above-ground and underground hardware relocation and/or installation, stormwater management, grading and drainage, road widening, access and entrances, fencing, parkland dedication, easements, and provision of securities. Although the creation of the proposed lots through Land Division is supported, staff reserve judgment on the proposed lot configurations until such time as the detailed review of the zoning by-law amendment and Land Division applications has occurred. It is recommended that the division of the lands proceed through severance. Attachments: 1. Location Map 2.
