PICKERING Report Number: PD 16-11
Date: June 6, 2011 4
From: Neil Carroll
Director, Planning & Development
Subject: Request for Council's Permission to Develop through Land Severance
The Estate of Paul Pickard
1861 Woodview Avenue
(Part of Lot 12, Plan 282)
City of Pickering
Recommendation:
1. 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.

1.0 Background:
The Estate of Paul Pickard is requesting Council approval for the creation of nine
residential lots through land 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.
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.

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.
