Tiano 392 Rosebank Road The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511, as amended: • to permit a minimum flankage yard depth of 2.9 metres; whereas the by-law requires a minimum flankage yard depth of 7.5 metres, where the main front entrance is facing the flankage yard • to permit a minimum side yard width of 1.2 metres; whereas the by-law requires a minimum side yard width of 1.5 metres • to permit a covered platform (porch) to project a maximum of 1.0 metre into the required flankage yard; whereas the by-law requires that uncovered steps or platforms not exceeding 1.0 metres in height above grade may project not more than 1.5 metres into any required flankage yard, where the main front entrance is facing the flankage yard • to permit a maximum lot coverage of 38 percent; whereas the by-law requires 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. The Secretary -Treasurer outlined the staff recommendation from the City Development Department recommending approval subject to conditions. Written comments were also received from the City's Engineering Services Department expressing a concern regarding the proposed window well on the south side of the dwelling and there does not appear to be sufficient space to properly grade a swale without affecting the neighbouring property. Engineering Services Department also commented that the issue with the window well can be addressed at the building permit application stage and the Engineering Services Traffic Section reviewed the proposed covered porch projecting 1.0 metre into the required flankage yard and that they have no concerns. Written comments were also received in objection to the application and signed by eight area residents. The residents expressed concerns with the proposed flankage yard depth from the north side of the proposed structure to Rougemound Drive. The proposed variance is not in keeping with the character of the surrounding neighbourhood; and expressed a concern with sightlines which may increase the risk to pedestrian and vehicle traffic at the intersection of Rougemount Drive and Rosebank Road. The residents also stated that they are not opposed to the redevelopment of the subject property, they are opposed to the current application as submitted, and request the Committee of Adjustment to reject the Minor Variance Application. Page 2 of 9 GGa oii DICKERING Committee of Adjustment Meeting Minutes Wednesday, January 24, 2018 7:00 pm Main Committee Room Travis Schiller, agent, and Christine Tiano, applicant, were present to represent the application. Tim Collier of 417 Rougemount Drive and Helen Newman of 421 Rougemount Drive were present in objection to the application. Travis Schiller indicated the fireplace is natural gas not wood burning and it can be viewed from inside as well as outside the home. In response to neighbours' concerns with sightlines, Travis Schiller indicated a traffic study has been done which resulted in no issues due to a large site triangle. In response to a question from a Committee Member, Travis Schiller provided and explained to the Committee and concerned residents the site plan and footprint of the property. Tim Collier spoke in objection to the application and to the written comments that were received prior to the meeting. Tim Collier also expressed several concerns with the location of the fireplace being a visual distraction to drivers, utility companies not being circulated, and the location of the dwelling being closer to the power lines which may pose a potential shock risk due to house maintenance and the height of the dwelling. Tim Collier also stated he would like to see additional conditions be added to provide proper screening of the fireplace to reduce the visual distraction to traffic as well as requiring the utility companies to approve the location of the fireplace. Helen Newman agrees with the comments made by Tim Collier and the written comments that were received prior to the meeting. Helen Newman stated hydro has not been upgraded in the surrounding neighbourhood with all the new dwellings that have been built. Moved by Sean Wiley Seconded by Denise Rundle That application P/CA 01/18 by C. Tiano, be Approved on the grounds that the requested variances are 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, subject to the following conditions: 1. That these variances apply only to the two-storey detached dwelling and cabana, 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.

The Secretary -Treasurer outlined the staff recommendation from the City Development Department recommending approval subject to conditions. Written comments were also received from the City's Engineering Services Department expressing no comments on the application. Sean Loucks, agent, and Brian Mathias, applicant, were present to represent the application. No further representation was present in favour of or in objection to the application. Sean Loucks stated the subject property backs onto a hydro corridor and in his opinion does not have a negative impact. In response to a questions from a Committee Member, Sean Loucks stated the grading in the rear yard is the same grade as the surrounding neighbouring properties that have similar decks to accommodate for the walk out basements. Moved by Denise Rundle Seconded by Eric Newton That application P/CA 02/18 by B. Mathias & K. Evans, be Approved on the grounds that the requested variance is 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, subject to the following conditions: 1. That this variance apply only to the proposed unenclosed, uncovered platform (deck), as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans. 2.

Carried Unanimously Page 4 of 9 Ci/g DICKERING Committee of Adjustment Meeting Minutes Wednesday, January 24, 2018 7:00 pm Main Committee Room 3. P/CA 03/18 & P/CA 04/18 R. Pannu/Y. & T. Pannu & H. Singh 1805 & 1807 Grayabbey Court 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. The Secretary -Treasurer outlined the staff recommendation from the City Development Department recommending approval subject to conditions. Written comments were also received from the City's Engineering Services Department expressing no comments on the applications. Amanda Lazaridis, agent, and Nick Lazaridis, agent, were present to represent the applications. Jeff Quinton of 1806 Grayabbey Court, Marian Kosara of 1808 Grayabbey Court and David Vieira of 1804 Grayabbey Court were present in objection to the applications. Amanda Lazaridis indicated the previous Committee of Adjustment applications for the subject properties were to increase the lot coverage and reduce the side yards. Amanda Lazaridis also stated that she will address any concerns the neighbours may have. In response to a question from a Committee Member, Amanda Lazaridis stated the dwellings are approximately 5,800 square feet in size. Jeff Quinton expressed a concern with the size of the existing dwellings and questioned how they can go from a 4,500 square feet dwelling to 6,000 square feet dwelling. Jeff Quinton also stated it is difficult to object to the applications when the stairs are already existing. Marian Kosara stated the dwellings should be built as per submitted drawings and he questioned the height of the stairs as it was not included in the circulated Notice. David Vieira expressed a concern that the existing dwellings are not in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood. He also stated that the homes are oversized and look and feel like apartments. Nick Lazaridis explained there was an error made and they received a plan that was not marked with the front yard setback which has resulted in these Committee of Adjustment applications for the subject properties.

The Secretary -Treasurer outlined the staff recommendation from the City Development Department recommending approval subject to conditions. Written comments were also received from the City's Engineering Services Department expressing no comments on the application. Written comments were received from the City's Economic Development Department stating they are supportive of the proposed variance; it is necessary for the scale house to be located at the entrance of the site to facilitate the proposed operations; the scale house will likely not be visible from the entrance off Squires Beach Road and the development of the site is critical to the ongoing development of the City's general employment lands. Written comments were also received from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority stating they are currently reviewing a Site Plan Application for the subject site which is well advanced and has no objections to the Minor Variance Application. Peter Heffernan, agent, was present to represent the application. No further representation was present in favour of or in objection to the application. Peter Heffernan explained the application was previously approved for the same variance, which lapsed in December 2017 as site plan approval was not obtained.

Carried Unanimously Date Chair Assistant Secretary -Treasurer Page 9 of 9 CGa DICKERING Report to Committee of Adjustment Application Number: P/CA 07/18 Date: February 14, 2018 From: Deborah Wylie, MCIP, RPP Principal Planner, Development Review Subject: Committee of Adjustment Application P/CA 07/18 C. Paparafiou & A. Salbian 525 Cliffview Road Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511, as amended to recognize an existing accessory structure (shed) greater than 1.8 metres in height to be setback a maximum of 0.6 of a metre from the rear (east) lot Zine and 0.6 of a metre from the north side lot line, and to permit a maximum lot coverage of 41.6 percent; whereas the by-law permits accessory structures greater than 1.8 metres in height to be setback a minimum of 1.0 metre from all lot lines and a maximum lot coverage of 40 percent. The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to bring the existing accessory structure (shed) into conformity with the zoning by-law. Recommendation The City Development Department considers an existing accessory structure (shed) with a height of 3.0 metres, setback 0.6 of a metre from the east and north lot lines and a maximum lot coverage of 41.6 percent 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 condition: 1. That these variances apply only to the existing accessory structure (shed), as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans. Background On October 26, 2017 the City of Pickering received a complaint from an adjacent neighbour that an accessory structure (shed) was being constructed too close to the shared property line. The applicant's original application was to recognize an existing accessory structure (shed) 3.0 metres in height, to be setback a maximum of 0.6 of a metre from the rear (east) lot line and 0.45 of a metre from the north side lot line, and to permit a maximum lot coverage of 41.6 percent. Upon discussion with City Staff, the applicant has agreed in writing to move the shed to be located a minimum of 0.6 of a metre from both lot lines. Report P/CA 07/18 February 14, 2018 Page 2 Comment Official Plan and Zoning By-law Pickering Official Plan - "Urban Residential — Low Density Area" within the Westshore Neighbourhood Zoning By-law 2511 as amended by By-law 7312/13 - "R4-22" — Single Residential Zone Appropriateness of the Applications Minimum Setback Requirement for Accessory Structures Following the construction of the shed in the rear yard, an adjacent landowner expressed concern to the City's By-law Enforcement Division regarding the proximity of the shed to the shared property line. The shed is currently located 0.6 of a metre from the rear (east) lot line and 0.45 of a metre from the north side lot line. The owners have agreed in writing to move the shed to be a minimum of 0.6 of a metre from both lot lines. The intent of the minimum 1.0 metre setback requirement for accessory structures, greater than 1.8 metres in height, is to ensure that adequate space is available for maintenance, that the eaves/overhangs do not encroach on adjacent properties, that roof drainage stays on the subject property, and to minimize any visual impact on adjacent properties. The current location of the shed does not appear to provide for adequate space to maintain the accessory structure or the future privacy fencing. It also appears that the location of the eaves/overhangs do not ensure that roof drainage stays on the subject property. The existing height of the accessory structures has a visual impact on the adjacent property which could be minimized by increasing the setback. Staff is of the opinion that a minimum 0.6 metre setback from all property lines would ensure adequate space is available for maintenance and that eaves/overhangs would not encroach on adjacent properties. A future wood privacy fence will be erected along the perimeter of the rear and side yards, which will minimize the visual impact on adjacent property owners. Lot Coverage Maximum Upon conducting a zone check review, it was determined an increase to the maximum permitted lot coverage was required in order to recognize the existing shed. The by-law permits a maximum lot coverage of 40 percent of the total lot area for all buildings and structures on a lot. The existing two-storey dwelling with covered porch currently has a lot coverage of 40 percent. The addition of the 8.1 square metre shed increases the total lot coverage by 1.6 percent. The owner is seeking to increase the permitted maximum lot coverage to 41.6 percent. Report PICA 07/18 February 14, 2018 Page 3 The intent of the maximum lot coverage requirement is to ensure an appropriate amount of amenity area uncovered by buildings/structures on a lot and to ensure the massing, scale and size of buildings/stuctures are appropriate for the size of the lot and the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. The increase in lot coverage from 40 percent to 41.6 percent maintains an appropriate amenity area uncovered by buildings/structures on a lot and does not change the massing, scale and size of buildings/structure on the lot. The increase in lot coverage will not change the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. Staff are of the opinion that the requested variances are minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land and maintain the purpose and intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

DiDonato & P. Bonavitacola 1910 Pine Grove Avenue Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 6578/05: • to permit a minimum east side yard width of 1.2 metres; whereas the by-law requires a minimum side yard width of 3.0 metres • to permit a minimum west side yard width of 1.0 metre; whereas the by-law requires a minimum side yard width of 3.0 metres • to permit a maximum lot coverage of 33 percent; whereas the by-law requires a maximum lot coverage of 20 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 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 these variances apply only to the proposed two-storey detached dwelling and existing accessory building, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans. 2. That the applicant obtain a Building Permit for the proposed construction by February 14, 2020, or this decision shall become null and void. Comment Official Plan and Zoning By-law Pickering Official Plan — "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" within the Highbush Neighbourhood Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 6578/05 — "A" — Rural Agricultural Report P/CA 08/18 February 14, 2018 Page 2 Background The subject lands and several adjacent lots, all zoned "A" — Rural Agricultural, were not included in the plans of subdivision that resulted in the surrounding residential development. The "A" — Rural Agricultural Zone has provisions for "existing Tots" that permit the erection of a detached dwelling on smaller non-agricultural properties. The subject lands have a smaller lot area and frontage than even the minimum requirements of the "existing lot" provisions in the "A" zone. As a result, variances are required to construct a new dwelling that would fit appropriately on the existing lot. Appropriateness of the Application Side Yard Width Variances The intent of a minimum side yard width requirement is to provide an appropriate separation distance between structures on abutting properties in order to ensure compatibility with the existing neighbourhood, provide appropriate pedestrian access between dwellings, and to accommodate grading, drainage and residential services. The Zoning By-law requires a minimum side yard width of 3.0 metres on both sides. The applicant has requested variances to permit a minimum east side yard width of 1.2 metres and a minimum west side yard width of 1.0 metre in order to construct a new detached dwelling. The property currently has a frontage of approximately 13.7 metres. The proposed dwelling will be approximately 11.2 metres wide and 8.5 metres in height. The proposed side yard widths of 1.2 metres and 1.0 metre maintains the character of the existing residential community, as other properties directly south-east of the subject lands along Pine Grove Avenue have zoning that requires minimum side yard widths of 1.2 metres on one side and 0.6 of a metre on the other side. The existing detached dwelling, to be demolished, has a west side yard width of 0.3 of a metre; the proposed west side yard width of 1.0 metre is an improvement on the existing condition. The proposed side yard widths will provide an adequate separation between the dwellings and the property line to accommodate pedestrian access, grading, drainage and residential services. Lot Coverage Variance The intent of the maximum lot coverage provision is to ensure that the size, scale and massing of a dwelling, and accessory buildings is appropriate for the lot size and to ensure an adequate amount of outdoor amenity space remains uncovered by buildings. The Zoning By-law requires a maximum lot coverage of 20 percent. The applicant has requested a variance to permit a maximum lot coverage of 33 percent in order to construct a new detached dwelling and retain the existing accessory building (shed) in the rear yard. Report P/CA 08/18 February 14, 2018 Page 3 The proposed dwelling is approximately 206 square metres in area, and the existing accessory building is approximately 69 square metres in area; when combined the two structures result in a total lot coverage of 33 percent of the lot area. The increase in lot coverage will provide for the appropriate development of the land as the size and massing of the proposed dwelling will be in keeping with the character of the surrounding neighbourhood; other properties to the south and west along Pine Grove Avenue are zoned "R4" and other site specific zones which permit maximum lot coverages between 33 percent and 38 percent. The proposed development will maintain a sufficient amount of outdoor amenity area that will remain uncovered and unobstructed. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land and maintain the purpose and intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

Recommendation 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 these variances apply only to the proposed single detached dwelling and deck, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans. That the applicant obtain a Building Permit for the proposed construction by February 14, 2020, or this decision shall become null and void. Comment Official Plan and Zoning By-law Pickering Official Plan — "Urban Residential Areas- Low Density Areas" within the Lamoreaux Neighbourhood Zoning By-law 7364/14 — "LD1" Seaton Low Density Type 1 — Detached & Semi -Detached Report P/CA 09/18 February 14, 2018 Page 2 Appropriateness of the Application Minimum Rear Yard Depth and Maximum Deck Projection Variances The intent of these Zoning By-law requirements are to ensure adequate amenity space is provided within the rear yard and appropriate setbacks are maintained to protect the privacy of abutting properties. The Zoning By-law requires a minimum rear yard depth of 6.0 metres and permits a maximum deck projection of 2.0 metres into the required rear yard, however, the minimum rear yard depth requirement is reduced to 5.0 metres where a property is adjacent to a Natural Heritage System zone. The applicant has requested a minimum rear yard depth of 5.3 metres and a maximum deck projection of 2.1 metres into the required rear yard. The lands abutting the subject property immediately to the west are currently designated "Open Space System — Seaton Natural Heritage System" under the Pickering Official Plan and are currently zoned "A"- Rural Agricultural under Zoning By-law 3037. A Zoning By-law Amendment Application has been submitted by the landowner, Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation (OILC) (Province of Ontario), to rezone the abutting lands immediately to the west from an "A"- Rural Agricultural zone to a Natural Heritage System (NHS) zone. The variances have been requested to ensure the subject property complies with the Zoning By-law until the adjacent open space lands to the west are rezoned. Should City Council approve the Zoning By-law Amendment Application submitted by the OILC, the proposed rear yard depth would exceed the minimum rear yard depth requirement of the Zoning By-law, as the subject property would be adjacent to a Natural Heritage System zone. Additionally, the proposed rear yard depth of 5.3 metres will provide an appropriate amount of usable amenity space in the rear and will not result in a negative visual or privacy impact on the abutting property to the rear as these lands are a part of the Seaton Open Space System and will not be developed. The requested deck projection of 2.1 metres into the required rear yard, is marginal in nature, and will not result in negative visual or privacy impacts on abutting properties, and will not result in the loss of private amenity space within the rear yard. The requested variances are minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land and maintain the purpose and intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

DATE: Jan, 31, 2018 DICKERING Cdy Report to Committee of Adjustment Application Number: P/CA 11/18 Date: February 14, 2018 From: Deborah Wylie, MCIP, RPP Principal Planner, Development Review Subject: Committee of Adjustment Application P/CA 11/18 C. & J. Cann 458 Oakwood Drive Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511, as amended, to permit a minimum front yard depth of 6.7 metres to an attached garage, whereas the by-law requires a minimum front yard depth of 7.5 metres. The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain a Building Permit for the construction of a single -storey addition in the rear yard and an attached garage in the south side yard. Recommendation The City Development Department considers a minimum front yard depth of 6.7 metres 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 attached garage, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans. 2. That the applicant obtain a Building Permit for the proposed construction by February 14, 2020, or this decision shall become null and void. Comment Official Plan and Zoning By-law Pickering Official Plan — "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" within the Rosebank Neighbourhood Zoning By-law 2511 — "R4" -Residential Fourth Density Zone Report P/CA 11/18 February 14, 2018 Page 2 Appropriateness of the Application Front Yard Depth Variance The intent of the zoning by-law provision requiring a minimum front yard depth is to provide for a consistent building setback to maintain the character of the surrounding area and to ensure a sufficient landscaped area is maintained between a dwelling and the street. The Zoning By-law requires a minimum front yard depth of 7.5 metres. The applicant has requested a reduction in the minimum front yard depth to 67 metres in order to accommodate a garage addition to the existing detached dwelling. The proposed garage will be constructed in a similar location as the existing carport. The reduced front yard depth will facilitate the construction of an attached garage and driveway that will accommodate a parking space and an interior wheelchair lift access into the dwelling. The requested front yard depth of 6.7 metres will maintain an adequate buffer space between the dwelling and the street and will ensure that sufficient landscaped open space can be provided within the front yard. The requested variance is marginal in nature and will not result in a negative visual impact on the streetscape. Additionally, the proposed attached garage is in keeping with the character of the surrounding area, as other dwellings along Oakwood Drive have attached garages. The requested variance is minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land and maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
