amount of glazing (windows)that are allowed on the north face of the dwelling.

~ide of the property,instead of the rear.

feels the variances being applied for are major not minor and questioned if the
home can be designed smaller.
In response to questions and concerns from neighbours and Committee
Members,Dana Saccocio explain~d that there will be no lighting in the eaves.

Committee of Adjustment Application PICA 36/13
Bancan Homes (S.Hossain)
606 Rosebank Road
The application was deferred by the applicant at the June 12,2013 Committee of
Adjustment meeting in order to further discuss their proposal with City Development
staff.The applicant has submitted a revised plan to construct a two-storey detached
dwelling.To facilJtate the proposed development the minor variance application has
been revised to delete the required side yard variance,increase the minimum rear yard'
depth from 3.0 metres to 4.0 metresand to reduce the maximum lot coverage from
44 percent to 40 percent.
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511,as amended:
•to permit a minimum rear yard depth of 4.0 metres;whereas the by-law requires a
minimum rear yard depth of 7.5 metres;
•to permit a maximum projection of eaves and sills into a required yard of 1.0 metres;
whereas the by-law permits a maximum projection of eaves and sills into a
required yard of 0.45 metres;and
.•to permit a maximum lot coverage of 40 percent;whereas the by-law permits a
maximum lot coverage of 33 percent.
The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain a building permit
to construct a two-storey detached dwelling.
Recommendation:
The City Development Department considers the minimum rear yard depth of 4.0 metres;
eaves and sills to project a maximum of 1.0 metres into the required yards;and a
maximum lot coverage of 40 percent for the proposed detached dwelling to be major
variances that are not desirable for the appropriate development of the lands,and not in
keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law,and therefore
recommends Refusal of the proposed variances.
Report PICA 36/13
Background:
July 3,2013
Page 2 19
A Land Division Application LD 058/10 was approved by the Durham Region Land
Division Committee in 2010 to create the subject property.At the time of the land division
application a conceptual site plan was submitted to the City Development Department,
which demonstrated that a future dwelling could be located on the subject property in
compliance with the zoning by-law.
Agency Comments:

Authority
•no comments
•no objections to the application
•the Owner is required to apply for a revised
TRCA permit as the approved drawings
dated June 27,2012,do not match the
drawings provided as part of Minor
Variance Application PICA 36/13
Public Comments from the June 12,2013 Committee of Adjustment Meeting:
Some of the concerns identified by surrounding property owners at the June 12,2013
Committee of Adjustment meeting .are as follows:
•the property will be overbuilt for the neighbourhood
•the property will.overshadow and infringe on privacy
•development is too close to the property line
•loss of privacy
•if the variances were approved the dwelling would extend along a majority of the
property line

•the intent of the zoning by-law is to regulate the size,scale and massing of the
dwelling and to ensure that proposed uses and structures are compatible with the
existing community
•a conceptual site plan,was submitted as part of the previous land division
application,which demonstrated that the property is of adequate size to
accommodate an approximately 3,200 square foot two-storey detached dwelling
in compliance with the zoning by-law
•the proposed two-storey dwelling consists of a reverse slope driveway to a
two-car attached garage and is approximately 3,200 to 3,500 square feet
•the proposed variances will not provide an appropriate outdoor amenity space as
provided on similar properties within the neighbourhood
•the proposed rear yard variance does not provide an appropriate setback or
separation from abutting properties
•the increase in massing along the south property line would have potential
adverse impacts on the adjoining properties to the south and west with respect to
.privacy and shadowing
•given the extent and magnitude of the variances being sought,City Development
staff are of the opinion that the requested variances are not minor in nature
•staff are of the opinion that the requested variances are not desirable for the
appropriate development of the lands as the overall massing and size of the
dwelling in relationship with the amount of outdoor amenity area will not be
compatible with the surrounding character of the neighbourhood
•the approval of the combination of variances requested by the applicant will result
in a property that is overdeveloped and will not provide sufficient soft landscaping
opportunities on the lot
•staff are of the opinion that modifications can be made to the proposed dwelling
in order to align the proposal with the standards established in the zoning by-law
and minimize adverse impacts on the abutting property owners

The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036,as amended,to permit a
maximum height of 4.8 metres to a proposed accessory building (detached garage)
containing a loft space for personal storage,whereas the by-law permits a maximum
height of 3.5 metres for all accessory buildings not part of the dwelling.
The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain a building permit to
construct the detached garage.
Recommendation
The City'Development Department considers the maximum building height of4.8 metres
to a proposed accessory building (detached garage)to be minor in nature that is
desirable for the appropriate development of the land,and in keeping with the general
intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law,and therefore
recommends Approval of the proposed variance,subject to the following conditions:
1.That this variance apply only to the proposed accessory building (detached garage),
as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans.
2.As part of the building permit submission,the applicant ensures that no habitable
space is proposed within the proposed detached garage.
3.That the applicant obtain a building permit for the proposed construction by
July 3,2015,or this decision shall become null and void.
Background
City Staff have reviewed the height of the proposed detached garage,as illustrated on the
applicant's submitted plan,and have verified the height of the structure to be 4.8 metres.
The owners have advised City Staff of their intention to demolish an existing 22 square
metre detached single car garage and replace it with a larger 53.5 square metre
detached single car garage that would be generally sited on the same footprint.

Zoning By-law 3036 -"R3"-Third Density Residential Zone
Appropriateness of the Application
Maximum Height for Accessory Structure Variance
•the intent of the maximum accessory building height of 3.5 metres is to minimize
the visual impact of accessory buildings on abutting properties,and on the
streetscape,as well as to ensure other yards are not significantly obstructed by
these structures on the property'
•the proposed detached garage will cover 2.5 percent of the lot area and will be
sited approximately 23 metres from the Valley Farm Road right-of-way and will
maintain a 1.5 metre south side yard setback
•the established grade affecting the proposed detached garage is lower than the
existing detached dwelling
•the existing vegetation on the subject property will partially screen the proposed
detached garage from Valley Farm Road and abutting neighbouring properties
•the applicant has advised that the requested height will accommodate a 29 square
metre unheated loft space for additional personal storage within the roof
•the proposed detached garage will not preclude future development proposals in
accordance with the Pickering Official Plan policies for properties designated as
medium density on the west side of Valley Farm Road between Kingston Road
and Fieldlight Boulevard
•the requested variance is minor in nature and maintains the intent of the zoning
