The site is situated immediately north of detached dwellings located on the north side of Hogarth Street and Rockwood Drive. 2.0 APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL the applicant proposes to develop the subject site with detached dwellings on 15 Lots with minimum frontages of 15 metres, minimum side yards of 1.2 metres, minimum front yards of 4.5 metres and maximum lot coverages of 38% of lot areas; the proposed lots are to have lot depths of between 36 and 67 metres; the proposed lots are intended to front onto a northerly extension of Rockwood Drive; the applicant's submitted plan is included as Attachment #2; new homes would be constructed on all of the proposed lots, with demolition of the dwelling on the north-west corner required to accommodate new dwellings at that location. 3.0 OFFICIAL PLAN AND ZONING 3.1 Durham Regional Official Plan - designates the site as "Living Area" where lands are to be used predominantly for housing purposes; Information Report No. 12-01 Page 2 009 3.2 Pickering Official Plan designates the site "Urban Residential — Low Density Area", located within the Highbush Neighbourhood; this designation permits residential uses at a net residential density up to and including 30 dwellings per net hectare; - this development proposes a net site density of approximately 12.5 units per hectare, which is within the permitted density range; the Official Plan contains a policy that development shall maximize the efficiency of existing infrastructure and minimize the consumption of vacant land by the addition of residential units within the South Pickering Urban Area; the site is within the Highbush Neighbourhood, and is subject to neighbourhood policies. Those policies include: • a proposed road connection of the northern part of Rockwood Drive to the southern part of Rockwood Drive; • provision of a new local road connection between Woodview and Pine Grove Avenues through the review of development proposals and in consultation with land owners; • encourage development in this area to be compatible with the character of existing development and preserve significant vegetation. The character to be considered includes low lot coverage, existing lotting pattern, style and siting of dwellings and significant mature vegetation. New dwellings and lots fronting new internal streets are to create density and lot frontage gradients with development fronting the existing older roads by use of buffering between the new and existing development, careful establishment of lot lines and siting of new dwellings to reflect existing building setbacks and yard depths, and to protect significant vegetation. all new lots created by this application are to have minimum lot frontages of approximately 15 metres, and minimum lot depths ranging between 36 and 67 metres; this proposal will extend Rockwood Drive further north with potential further extension in the future, if and when similar back -lot infill development proceeds in the area to the north between this proposed development and the draft approved Molinaro subdivision. 3.3 Zoning By-law 3036 the site is zoned "R4" — One -Family Detached Dwelling Fourth Density Zone in By-law 3036; this zoning permits detached dwellings on lots with minimum frontages of 15 metres and minimum lot areas of 460 square metres; amendment to the standard provisions for front yard setback, side yard setback and lot coverage of the "R4" zoning is required in order to permit this proposal. Table 1, at the end of this Information Report, shows the standard "R4" provisions and the applicant's proposal for zoning these lands. 4.0 RESULTS OF CIRCULATION (see Attachments # 3 - 10) 4.1 Resident Comments - No written comments have been received to date. 4.2 Agency Comments Durham District School Board - has no objections to the proposal, and indicates that the eight elementary pupils that could be generated by this development can be accommodated within existing school facilities (see Attachment #3). Information Report No. 12-01 010 Page 3 Canada Post - indicates that the existing Community Mailbox site in the area can be reconfigured to accommodate the new lots in this plan of subdivision (see Attachment #4). Durham Catholic District School Board - advises that the Board has no objection to this plan of subdivision, that these lands fall within the catchment area of St. Monica Catholic Elementary School and that this development can be expected to yield three elementary school students (see Attachment #5). Veridian Connections - advises that electric service is available on the road allowance touching this property; that a servicing agreement must be signed with the Corporation in order to obtain servicing; and that the applicant's civil consultant must forward a first submission civil design so that a preliminary design and estimate can be completed (see Attachment #6). Enbridge Consumers Gas - requests a number of conditions be included in the subdivision agreement. The applicant must agree to co-ordinate preparation of an overall utility distribution plan, construct streets to municipal standards and satisfy Enbridge respecting grading of streets and provision of field survey information. Since the natural gas distribution system will be installed within the proposed road allowances, no easements will be required (see Attachment #7). Le Conseil Scholaire de District du Centre-Sud-Ouest - advised that they have no comments or objections to the proposed subdivision plan (see Attachment #8). Toronto and Region Conservation Authority - indicates that the subject lands are not impacted by any natural features under their jurisdiction and that TRCA has no objections to approval of this application (see Attachment #9). Hydro One Networks Inc. - indicates that they have no objections to the proposed plan as presently laid out (see Attachment #10). 4.3 Staff Comments 4.3.1 Preliminary Review of the Draft Plan a similar subdivision is proceeding to final approval farther to the north (the Molinaro subdivision that will result in the construction of a further portion of the Rockwood Drive connection (see Attachment #1). When further development occurs on the other block north of the Molinaro subdivision, and similar back -lot infill subdivision occurs between the subject development and the Molinaro subdivision, the northern and southern parts of Rockwood Drive can be connected; options for a suitable location for an east -west connection between Pinegrove and Woodview Avenues will be reviewed, along with the issue of whether it should occur through the subject lands; the reasons why the rear lot lines at the eastern edge of the proposed subdivision are staggered and whether this is appropriate will be evaluated; the draft plan will be reviewed to ensure that orderly development occurs that is compatible with the character of the area; an appropriate use of the 7.62 metre right-of-way currently providing access to the existing dwelling in the north-west corner of this subdivision will be recommended; the relationship of Block 55 to the west and this subdivision will be examined; the proposed variations from the "R4" zoning standards for front yards, side yards and lot coverage will be evaluated; appropriate treatment for the rear yard of the lot fronting onto Pinegrove Avenue that is not part of this subdivision (between proposed Lots #4 and #5) will be evaluated; a cul-de-sac will have to be constructed at the northern end of the extension of Rockwood Drive with appropriate setbacks from a new road bulb. Information Report -No. 12-01 Page4 011 4.3.2 Technical Matters a tree inventory and preliminary preservation plan, along with a preliminary grading plan, will be required prior to preparation of Planning recommendations for Council's consideration; location of existing buildings and structures on the subject lands must be identified by the applicant prior to preparation of Planning recommendations for Council's consideration; no noise report will be required because this site is sufficiently distant from the C.N.R. railway line south of Hogarth Street, the high berms along most of the north side of the railway and the intervening houses provide sufficient noise attenuation for the subject site. 5.0 PROCEDURAL INFORMATION written comments regarding this proposal should be directed to the Planning & Development Department; oral comments may be made at the Public Information Meeting; all comments received will be noted and used as input in a Planning Report prepared by the Planning & Development Department for a subsequent meeting of Council or a Committee of Council; if you wish to reserve the option to appeal Council's decision, you must provide comments to the City before Council adopts any by-law for this proposal; if you wish to be notified of Council's decision regarding this proposal, you must request such in writing to the City Clerk. 6.0 OTHER INFORMATION 6.1 Appendix I - lists the comments received on this proposal at the time that this Information Report was written; 6.2 Information Received - full-scale copies of the applicant's submitted plan are available for viewing at the offices of the City of Pickering Planning & Development Department; 6.3 Site Landowners .7/f—kic—r-cca the applicant indicates that the landowners represented by the Sean Greene application include J.
