513 square metres and approximately 1,125 square metres; the subject lands have an
area of approximately 701 square metres

Applications
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended, to recognize existing
uncovered, unenclosed steps, not exceeding 1.0 metre in height above grade, projecting a
maximum of 2.2 metres into the required front yard; whereas the by-law permits uncovered
platforms not exceeding 1.0 metre in height above grade to project a maximum of 1.5 metres
into any required front or rear yard.
The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to bring the existing uncovered,
unenclosed steps into conformity with the Zoning By-law.
Recommendation (P/CA 03118 & P/CA 04/18)
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 variance, subject to the following conditions:
1. That this variance apply only to the proposed unenclosed, uncovered steps, as generally
sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans.
2. That the applicant obtain a Building Permit for the proposed construction by January 24,'2019,
or this decision shall become null and void.
Background
On April 18, 2016 The Region of Durham Land Division Committee granted approval to allow
the owners of 1885 and 1891 Spruce Hill Road to sever their rear yards and create two new
lots fronting Grayabbey Court (1805 and 1807).
On August 3, 2016, the Committee of Adjustment approved variances for the newly created
Tots, 1805 and 1807 Grayabbey Court, to increase the maximum lot coverage from 33 percent
to 38 percent, and to reduce a side yard width from 1.5 metres to 1.2 metres. Building Permits
for the construction of two single detached dwellings on 1805 and 1807 Grayabbey Court were
issued on March 13, 2017.

Committee of Adjustment
Application Number: P/CA 05/18
Date: January 24, 2018
From: Deborah Wylie, MCIP, RPP
Principal Planner, Development Review
Subject: Committee of Adjustment Application P/CA 05/18
K. & L. MacDonald
2420 Sixth Concession Road
Application
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3037, as amended, to permit a minimum front
yard depth of 0.48 of a metre; whereas the by-law requires a minimum front yard depth of
9.0 metres.
The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to rebuild an addition (enclosed
porch) at the front of the existing detached dwelling.
Recommendation
The City Development Department considers the requested variance 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 variance, subject to the following conditions:
1. That this variance apply only to the proposed addition (enclosed porch), as generally sited
and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans.
2. That the applicant obtain a building permit for the proposed construction by
January 24, 2020, or this decision shall become null and void.
Background
The subject property falls within Minister's Zoning Order 1 (0. Reg. 102172). The Minister's
Zoning Order exists to reflect provincial protections that will be needed for lands surrounding
the potential Pickering Airport site. The subject site has specific provisions under Minister's
Zoning Order 1 Section 60(1), which permits the minimum distance between the existing single
dwelling and the front lot line to be 0.48 of a metre. Correspondence with the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing has confirmed that the proposal is permitted within Ministry
regulations.
It does not appear that any past Minor Variance Applications have been made for the subject
property.

Appropriateness of the Application
Front Yard Depth Variance
• the intent of a minimum front yard depth is to ensure that an'adequate landscaped area,
parking area and separation distance is provided between the dwelling and the front lot
line
• the applicant is proposing to demolish the existing addition (enclosed porch) and
construct a new enclosed porch and covered deck with approximately the same front
yard depth (0.48 of a metre)
• the applicant has requested a variance to reduce the minimum front yard depth from 9.0
metres to 0.48 of a metre
• the proposed covered deck will not require any variances if the front yard depth is
approved at 0.48 of a metre
• the applicant is requesting the proposed variance in part because the foundation of the
existing enclosed porch is failing
• Minister's Zoning Order 1 permits the minimum distance between the existing single
dwelling and the front lot line to be 0.48 of a metre, the applicant's proposal is in
conformity with the Ministry Zoning Order
• in addition to the proposed front yard depth of 0.48 of a metre, there is a municipal
boulevard that extends an additional 8.0 metres between the front lot line and Sixth
Concession Road
• the proposed front yard depth will provide for an adequate landscaped area and building
setbacks between the dwelling and the abutting street
• adequate parking is provided through a driveway to the east of the proposed enclosed
porch
• the proposed addition will not further obstruct the streetview of abutting property owners
• staff are of the opinion that the requested variance is minor in nature, desirable for the
appropriate development of the lands, and maintains the intent and purpose of the
Official Plan and Zoning By-law

Subject: Committee of Adjustment Application P/CA 06/18
Squires Beach Holdings Limited
1325 Squires Beach Road
Application
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511, as amended, to permit an accessory
building (scale house) to be erected in the front yard; whereas the by-law requires all
accessory buildings which are not part of the main building to be erected in the rear yard.
The applicant requests approval of this variance in order -to obtain Site Plan Approval for a
concrete batching facility.
Recommendation
The City Development Department considers the requested variance 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 variance, subject to the following conditions:
1. That this variance apply only to the proposed accessory building (scale house), as
generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans.
2. That the applicant obtain Site Plan Approval for the proposed development by
January 24, 2020, or this decision shall. become null and void
That the applicant obtain a Building Permit for the proposed construction by
January 25, 2021, or this decision shall become null and void.
Background
The City is in receipt of a Site Plan Approval application to permit a concrete batching facility.
The Site Pian Application is currently under review. The applicant had previously received
approval for this same accessory building (scale house) through Minor Variance Application
PICA 66116. As a condition of approval, PICA 66116 required that the applicant obtain Site Plan
Approval by December 7, 2017, or the decision would become null and void. As Site Plan
Approval was not obtained by the required date P/CA 66/16 lapsed and the applicant has been
required to reapply for the subject variance.
