Recommendations P/CA 99117 (887 Wingarden Crescent) The City Development Department considers the requested variances to be minor in nature, 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 variances, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the variances apply only to the proposed detached dwelling, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans. 2. That -the applicant obtain a building permit for the proposed dwelling by November 15, 2019 or this decision shall become null and void. 10 Reports P/CA 99/17 & PICA 100/17 November 15, 2017 Page 2 P/CA 100/17 (891 Wingarden Crescent) The City Development Department recommends that minor variance application P/CA 100/17 be Tabled to allow for further discussion between -the City and the applicant, and the submission of a revised detailed plan and revised variances. Comment Official Plan and Zoning By-law Pickering Official Plan — "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" within the Dunbarton Neighbourhood ZoningBy-law 3036, as amended — "R4" — Fourth Density Residential Zone Background In 2015, the Committee of Adjustment approved Minor Variance Applications PICA 94/15 and PICA 95/15 to permit the construction of two detached dwellings on the subject properties. P/CA 94/15 and P/CA 95/15 both lapsed when the applicant failed to obtain a building permit within the required time frame. The requested variances for the previous applications are identical to the variances requested in P/CA 99/17 and PICA 100/17. Since 2015, the extension of Wingarden Crescent and related development has resulted in the construction of several dwellings with 18.0 metre lot frontages, reduced side yards, and increased lot coverage similar to the variances requested for P/CA 100/17. These dwellings have been identified as being out of scale and not in keeping with the surrounding neighbourhoods. Further, council has directed City staff to undertake a study to establish guidelines to encourage developers and builders to be mindful of community character. Through discussions, the applicant has agreed to table P/CA 100/17 and move forward with the application when more detailed plans for the propOsed dwelling are available. Staff recommends that P/CA 100/17 be tabled for further discussion and the submission of revised detailed drawings.

Report P/CA 101/17 November 15, 2017 17 Page 2 Background On June 1, 2016, the Building Services department received a complaint regarding construction at the subject property. After a site visit, it was determined by City staff that an exterior entrance, an interior stairway to the basement and additional interior construction was conducted without a building permit. The property owner was advised that a building permit would be required for the construction. On June 7, 2017, the owner of the subject property submitted a building permit application, as required. Through review of the building permit application, it was determined that the location of the exterior entrance and stairway to the basementhas resulted in a zoning non-compliance as they are located within the interior of the existing private garage and restrict the ability to park a vehicle inside the garage.
