The applicant requests approval of these minor variance applications to permit the reduction in minimum lot frontages allowing the severance of the two properties resulting in a total of four lots and to construct a detached dwelling on each of the lots for a total of four detached dwellings. Recommendation For your information and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the applications with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variances not in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and therefore staff object to the approval of the applications. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in these applications, the following conditions are recommended: 1.That these variances apply only to the proposed lots and detached dwellings, as generallysited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10 & 11); and 2. That a Tree Inventory and Preservation Plan and Arborist Report, as per the City’s comments for the associated Consent Applications LD 049/2023 to LD 052/2023 be submitted to the satisfaction of City staff showing the preservation of existing mature treesto the greatest extent possible. -11- Report MV 64/24 to MV 67/24 November 13, 2024 Page 3 Background In 2023, Consent Applications LD 049/23, LD 050/23, LD 051/23, and LD 052/23, were conditionally approved at the August 14, 2023, Regional Land Division Committee Meeting. The conditions required that the four lots comply with the Zoning By-law. Applications MV 64/24 to MV 67/24 were deferred by staff at the October 9, 2024, Committee of Adjustment hearing as a variance requested for side yard setback was omitted from the Public Notice for MV 64/24 (Parts 3 & 8). Comment General Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan The subject site is designated Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area within the Rougemount Neighbourhood. The applicant is proposing to construct a detached dwelling on each of the four lots for a total of four detached dwellings. Detached dwellings are permitted within this designation and are a permitted a built form within the Rougemount Neighbourhood. City Policy 12.7(a) states that, “the established residential areas along Woodview Drive, Twyn Rivers Drive, Sheppard Avenue and Rougemount Drive, encourage and where possible require new development to be compatible with the character of existing development.” The character of the existing development along Woodview Avenue to the south of the subject properties is generally made up of deep lots with generous setbacks for existing residential dwellings. To the north of the subject properties, along the north side of Twyn Rivers Drive, there is a mix of lot types including several lots having a minimum lot frontage of 15 metres. These lots are zoned R4 that permits minimum lot frontages of 15 metres. Following the Region of Durham Land Division Committee’s conditional approval of Consent Applications LD 049/23, LD 050/23, LD 051/23, and LD 052/23 on September 5, 2023, the Ontario Land Tribunal dismissed appeals of the Infill Official Plan Amendment 40 (OPA 40), ordering OPA 40 and associated zoning by-law amendments to be in force and in full effect. OPA 40 is intended to promote compatible and consistent development that protects and enhances the existing character in established neigbourhoods. The subject property is located within the Rougemount Established Neighbourhood Precinct. OPA 40 implemented the recommendations of the Infill and Replacement Housing in the Established Neighbourhoods Study adding policies regarding building mass, dwelling height, lot width, lot coverage and landscaping, and reinforcing established development patterns. The requested variances to minimum lot frontage and side yards, and maximum lot coverage do not conform to the intent of OPA 40 and to the following policies: • reinforce the established pattern of existing side yard setbacks and separation distances between dwellings as observed from the street; and • reinforce the established pattern of existing lot widths and lot coverage in the Established Neighbourhood Precinct. -12- Report MV 64/24 to MV 67/24 November 13, 2024 Page 4 Staff has reviewed and commented on the proposed dwellings using the Council-adopted Urban Design Guidelines for Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts Checklist, which can be found in Appendix A to this report. General Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law 145 and 151 Twyn Rivers Drive are zoned “R3” – One Family Detached Dwelling – Residential Third Density, under Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by Infill By-law 7874/21. A detached dwelling is permitted within the lands zoned “R3. Lot Frontage and Front Yard Variances (Parts 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 & 11) Lot Frontage (Parts 3, 6, 8 & 11) The intent of the minimum lot frontage requirement of 18.0 metres is to ensure wider lots and a usable lot size that is compatible with the existing neighbourhood. Presently, the two subject properties have frontage along Twyn Rivers Drive. The applicant is proposing to create four residential lots that will have frontage along Woodview Drive. Immediately across from the subject properties on the east side of Woodview Drive is a convenience store. The existing development along both sides of Woodview Drive consists of wide and deep residential lots having a minimum frontage of 18.0 metres with greater front yard setbacks ranging between 15.0 to 35.0 metres. Moving south, from the proposed lots, there is a transition from deeper front yards to shallower front yards. The four proposed lots have minimum lot frontages of 15.2 and 16.4 metres. The requested variances to reduce the minimum lot frontages to 15.2 and 16.4 metres do not reinforce the established pattern of existing lot widths along Woodview Avenue. The requested variances for reduction in minimum lot frontage are not in compliance with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Front Yard Setback (Parts 3, 6, 8 & 11) The minimum front yard setback for properties within the Established Neighbourhood Precinct Areas is determined by the shortest existing front yard setback of the dwellings on the immediate abutting lots located along the same side of the street and within the same block. The applicant is requesting a minimum front yard setback of 7.5 metres for the proposed lot known as MV 64/24 - Parts 3 & 8, and a minimum front yard setback of 9.5 metres for the proposed lot known as MV 67/24 - Parts 6 & 11, whereas the By-law requires a minimum front yard setback of 35.3 metres, based on the south abutting property municipally known as 140 Woodview Drive. The applicant is requesting variances from the minimum front yard setback zoning provisions from the Infill By-law and are technical in nature since the abutting development at 140 Woodview Drive is a through lot with an existing front yard setback of 35 metres, which is not a typical front yard setback in the area. Official Plan Policy 3.9(f)(vi) encourages maximizing the front yard landscaping to the greatest extent possible. The existing front yard setbacks along the same block of development on Woodview Drive are very generous ranging between 15 to 35 metres and are a result of the very deep lots. The proposed dwellings each have minimum front yard setbacks of 7.5 metres, which will allows for sufficient space for front yard landscaping. City Staff note that OPA 40 encourages the preservation of existing mature trees to the greatest extent possible. -13- Report MV 64/24 to MV 67/24 November 13, 2024 Page 5 Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances to the front yard setbacks maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law and do not object to the requested variances to the minimum front yard setback should the Committee approve the applications. Flankage Yard, Side Yard and Lot Coverage Variances (Parts 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 & 11) The applicant is requesting variances to the flankage and interior side yard setbacks, and maximum lot coverage provisions for the proposed four lots. The requested variances are listed below: •the minimum flankage yard be reduced from a minimum of 4.5 metres to 2.0 metres; •the minimum interior side yards be reduced from 1.8 metres to 1.2 metres; and •the maximum lot coverage be increased from 33 percent to 33.7 percent, 33.8 percent,36.4 percent, and 34.1 percent. The proposed dwelling located on the proposed corner lot (MV 64/24 - Parts 3 & 8) will allow a minimum of 2.0 metres on the north flankage yard, whereas the By-law requires a minimum setback of 4.5 metres on the flankage yard where a main building is erected on a corner lot. The intent of this provision is to provide adequate separation distance between buildings and street activity in the flankage side yard and to provide an adequate landscaped area. The proposed lot is located on a corner lot at the intersection of Twyn Rivers Drive and Woodview Drive. The reduced flankage setback will create siting of the dwelling on the proposed corner lot that would be in front of the existing dwelling on the adjacent lot fronting onto Twyn Rivers Drive creating inconsistent setbacks along Twyn Rivers. Official Plan Policy 3.9(f)(ii) identifies the reinforcement of establishment of a consistent side yard setbacks and separation distances between dwellings as observed from the street. The reduced side yard setbacks are not consistent with the existing development along Woodview Drive, which have side yard setbacks that comply with the minimum side yard setback requirements of the By-law. The proposed side yard setbacks will result in a change in the pattern of development and will create a sense of crowdedness along Woodview Drive, which is not consistent with the Infill Urban Design Guidelines. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances for reduced side yard setbacks, reduced flankage yard, and increase in lot coverages are not in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law and are not minor in nature. Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The proposed development includes severing the existing two lots for two additional residential lots for a total of four lots and constructing four detached dwellings with frontage onto Woodview Drive. The proposed lots and siting of the dwellings are inconsistent with the general intent and purpose of the Infill By-law 7874/21. The proposed lot configuration does not meet the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan policies with respect to infill development. -14- Report MV 64/24 to MV 67/24 November 13, 2024 Page 6 City Policy 3.9(f)(vii) identifies and encourages “the preservation of existing mature trees to the greatest extent possible.” Should the Committee approve the applications, a condition is recommended that the applicant provide a Tree Inventory and Preservation Plan and Arborist Report, as per the City’s comments for the associated Consent Applications LD 049/2023 to LD 052/2023 to the satisfaction of City staff showing the preservation of existing mature trees to the greatest extent possible preservation. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances will allow development that is not desirable for the appropriate development of the land, nor is it minor in nature as the proposed development is inconsistent with the existing development along Woodview Drive. The proposed lots and siting of the proposed dwellings are incompatible with the streetscape, which consists of wider lots with generous building front and side yard setbacks. The proposed lots and siting of the dwellings are not consistent with the general intent and purpose of the Infill By-law 7874/21, and are not consistent with the Infill Urban Design Guidelines and Official Plan policies.

The applicant requests approval of this variance to obtain Site Plan Approval for a 40-storey residential condominium building. Recommendation For your information and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and 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. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That this variance applies only to the proposed residential condominium building, asgenerally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2 & 3). Background On April 22, 2024, Council approved Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 01/23 for the subject lands, to permit a 40-storey residential condominium building, with a podium ranging between 4 and 6 storeys and containing 571 units. An application for Site Plan Approval (S 01/23) for the proposed development is currently under review by the City. -31- Report MV 68/24 November 13, 2024 Page 2 Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan The Pickering Official Plan (POP) designates the subject property as “Mixed Use Areas – City Centre”. This designation permits high-density residential uses, retailing of goods and services, offices and restaurants, hotels, convention centres, community, cultural and recreational uses, community gardens, and farmers’ markets. Policy 12.10(c)(ii) of the POP states that new development in the City Centre shall have regard for the City Centre Urban Design Guidelines. The lower storeys of a tall building are referred to as the podium. The City Centre Urban Design Guidelines state that the podium of a building generally establishes the height of the street wall along a public road and establishes human scale at the street level. The height of a podium should be in line with the height of neighbouring buildings, to ensure a consistent street wall. Surrounding the subject property, there is a mix of building heights ranging between 1 and 6 storeys. Notably, on the north side of Pickering Parkway, across from the subject property, there is a mix of townhouse units and apartment buildings that range between 3 and 6 storeys. The podium for the proposed building, having a height of 4 and 6 storeys, is in line with the height of neighbouring buildings. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the POP and the City Centre Urban Design Guidelines. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The applicant is seeking a variance to increase the podium height from 23.0 metres to 24.5 metres due to changes made to the slab thickness required for the building’s structural needs. This variance applies to the eastern portion of the podium, which is 6 storeys high, while the remainder of the podium is 4 storeys, or approximately 16.0 metres high. The purpose of limiting the height of a podium is to ensure that it is in line with the height of neighbouring buildings. Despite the increase in the height of the podium from 23.0 metres to 24.5 metres, the podium remains at 6 storeys. As noted above, the height of the podium is in line with the height of neighbouring buildings, which range between 1 and 6 storeys. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature As noted above, the requested variance is required due to changes made to the slab thickness for the building’s structural needs. Through this requested variance, the height of the podium, ranging between 4 and 6 storeys, is not changing. Staff are of the opinion that an increase in the podium height by 1.5 metres is minimal and would not be noticeable at the pedestrian level. -32- Report MV 68/24 November 13, 2024 Page 3 Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the land and is minor in nature.

The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain approval for a site plan application for a proposed addition to an industrial building. Recommendation For your information and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and 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. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That these variances apply only to the proposed development, as generally sited andoutlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibit 2). Background The applicant has submitted a revision to Site Plan Application S 04/90 for the subject property to facilitate a 5553.5 square metre addition to an existing industrial building and an expansion of the parking lot area. A previous Minor Variance application P/CA 32/90 established the front yard to be located along the southern portion of the lot, fronting onto Silicone Drive. During the review of the site plan application, staff identified the noted zoning non-compliances. The requested variances are required for the applicant to obtain final Site Plan approval. -37- Report MV 69/24 November 13, 2024 Page 2 Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan The subject property is designated “General Employment” within the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood. Permitted uses within this designation aim to accommodate a range of industrial uses, including but not limited to, light manufacturing, light service industries, and business parks. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “M2S” – Yard Storage and Heavy Manufacturing Zone. Section 5.21.1(3) by By-law 2511. A minimum of 1 parking space per 56 square metres of gross floor area for industrial uses is required. Previously, Minor Variance Application P/CA 32/90 permitted a minimum 58 parking spaces for an industrial building with a total GFA of 6,760 square metres. The proposed addition has a total GFA of 5553.5 square metres and requires a minimum of 99 parking spaces. Therefore, a total of 157 parking spaces is required for the subject property. The applicant is providing a total of 158 parking spaces. Front Yard Parking Variance The By-law permits a maximum 20 percent of the total required parking spaces to be in the front yard, which allows a maximum of 31 parking spaces in the front yard. The intent of limiting front yard parking is to minimize the visual impact of parking areas on the streetscape. The applicant is proposing that the proposed 75 additional parking spaces be in the front yard. The lot is considered a through lot as it has frontage along three streets. The lot line shared with Silicone Drive is interpreted to be the front line. Currently, most of the parking area is located within the west side yard, adjacent to Copperstone Drive. However, the applicant has proposed a 1,623.7 square metre addition in the west side yard, which will remove an existing parking area. The applicant is proposing a parking area in the front yard fronting Silicone Drive. Additionally, a parking area is proposed in the rear yard adjacent to Copperstone Drive. Both parking areas will be setback more than 8.0 metres from the property lines and will contain landscaping to reduce the visual impact of the parking area on the streetscape. Staff is of the opinion that this variance is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. -38- Report MV 69/24 November 13, 2024 Page 3 Minimum Side Yard Setback Variance The applicant has proposed minimum side yard setback of 4.5 metres from the east side lot line, whereas the By-law requires side yard a minimum of 7.5 metres. The intent of the minimum side yard setback requirement of 7.5 metres is to provide an appropriate setback for accessing front and rear yards, lot grading, and to ensure appropriate stormwater drainage. The proposed side yard setback will contain a landscaped area, and will maintain an adequate setback for maintenance, lot grading and drainage, and pedestrian access. The proposed reduction in the minimum side yard setback will have no adverse impact on the abutting employment uses to the east. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The proposed development will create a warehousing and storage building with associated office space. The proposed variances are desirable for the appropriate development of the land as the proposal is in keeping with the range of industrial and employment uses within the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood and the Storage and Light Manufacturing Zone in Zoning By-law 2511. The proposed parking area will maintain a sufficient setback to provide for landscaping and will not result in a negative visual impact on the streetscape. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are desirable and appropriate for the development of the land and are minor in nature.

Municipal Address: 1920 Silicone Drive CONTACT THE CITY OF PICKERING CITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FOR DIGITAL COPIES OF THIS PLAN.Date: Oct. 23, 2024 to permit front yard parking limited to 47.7 percent of the total required parking area to permit a minimum interior side yard setback of 4.5 metres -41- Report to Committee of Adjustment Application Number: MV 70/24 Date: November 13, 2024 From: Deborah Wylie Manager, Zoning & Administration Subject: Minor Variance Application MV 70/24 Claremont Developments Inc. 5230 Lehman Court (Lot 17) Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3037, as amended by By-law 7966/22 to permit a minimum lot area of 0.26 of a hectare, whereas the By-law requires a minimum lot area of 0.27 hectares. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to obtain a building permit for a detached dwelling. Recommendation For your information and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and 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. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1.That this variance applies only to the subject property, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibit 2 & 3). Background In 1991, the Pickering District Plan required that development proceed in accordance with the Council adopted Hamlet of Claremont Development Plan. Section 4.1(b) of the Development Plan for the Hamlet of Claremont outlined that new lots may be created by a plan of subdivision, provided a minimum lot area of 0.3 of a hectare is maintained. Subsection (ii) further outlines that a smaller lot area may be approved provided the City and other authorities including the Region of Durham are satisfied. When the Plan of Subdivision was approved and registered at the Land Registry Office, it was not noticed that the subject property (Lot 17) had a minimum lot area of 0.26 of a hectare. This was a result of the City’s requirement for a 0.3 of a metre reserve along the north flankage yard of the property to be conveyed to City ownership, reducing the area of Lot 17. -42- Report MV 70/24 November 13, 2024 Page 2 Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan The subject property is designated “Oak Ridges Moraine – Countryside Area” under Schedule I of the Official Plan. The subject property is located outside the Claremont Settlement Area. Previously, the subject lands were subject to the Hamlet of Claremont Development Plan, which designated the lands for residential uses. Furthermore, the subject property was previously located within the Hamlet boundary under the Pickering District Plan. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “ORM-R6-9” – Oak Ridges Moraine Residential under Zoning By-law 3037, as amended by By-law 7966/22. The intent of the minimum lot area requirement of 0.27 of a hectare is to ensure a usable lot size that is compatible with the neighbourhood and can accommodate private servicing (water and septic). The lots along this block all maintain a consistent lot size, with all lots maintaining a minimum 0.27 of a hectare. The existing subject property has an area of approximately 0.26 of a hectare, making it slightly smaller than the adjacent lots. The applicant has demonstrated that a detached dwelling can be appropriately sited on the lot (refer to Exhibit 3), and that a dwelling with a desirable floor area complies with the maximum permitted lot coverage, including building setbacks. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature Through Durham Region Health’s review of the Draft Plan of Subdivision, the Region was satisfied with the proposed lot configuration and location of private servicing and that the proposed lots complied with the Region’s Lot Sizing Policy. Under the Region’s Lot Sizing Policy, each newly created vacant lot in a subdivision proposal must be suitable for the construction of a Class 4 conventional sewage system including a separate area for the replacement of a Class 4 conventional sewage system. The requested variance will facilitate the development of the subject property for a detached dwelling. The existing lot has an area of approximately 0.26 of a hectare, which is generally consistent with the existing residential lots within the neighbourhood. The proposed lot with a minimum area of 0.26 of a hectare will be in keeping with the existing lotting pattern along the street. -43- Report MV 70/24 November 13, 2024 Page 3 Input From Other Sources Applicant •Surveyor’s error on 40M Plan and Lot Certificate.

Appendix III -58- -2- LD 17/2024 Proposing to sever a 405.9m2 residential parcel (part 2), retaining a 406.2m2 residential parcel (part 3). 2. PLANNING ANALYSIS Conformity to the Regional Official Plan (Envision Durham) Envision Durham (ROP) was approved as modified by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on September 3, 2024. The subject site is designated as Community Area on Map 1 of the ROP. Community Areas are intended to support complete communities, providing a range of housing, transportation and lifestyle choices. The proposed consent applications will facilitate the creation of three new residential lots (two retained and one severed). The proposed lots are intended for the construction of a single detached dwelling on each lot within an existing residential community. The proposed severance applications conform with the policies of the ROP by meeting housing objectives and by capitalizing on existing infrastructure. Map 2a identifies key natural heritage features within the subject site. Policy 7.4.15 states that any proposal for development or site alteration in proximity to key natural heritage features provide an Environmental Impact Study. An Environmental Impact or Natural Heritage Study should be submitted to determine that no negative impacts to the features will occur. We are unaware whether such a Study may have already been prepared and submitted. We are also aware that the City of Pickering Official Plan does not identify this feature. A Study may not be required if the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) would confirm that this area is not considered a KNHF. The application appears to conform to the new ROP. However, in accordance with Policy 11.3.10 of Envision Durham, severances cannot be granted that are contrary to the new ROP and/or any area municipal official plan. As such, full conformity to the new ROP will be determined once a final decision has been issued by the area municipality confirming that the retained and severed parcels comply with the requirements of the area municipality’s zoning by-law. -59- -3- 3. PROVINCIAL PLANS AND POLICIES Provincial Policy Statement Ontario has released the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024. This is a new streamlined provincial planning document that has replaced the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 and A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe 2019, as amended in 2020. The PPS, 2024 directs planning authorities to support the achievement of complete communities, by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of land uses, a range and mix of housing options, and other uses to meet long-term needs. The proposed development is considered infill within a designated settlement area and makes use of existing infrastructure. As such, the application is consistent with the PPS. 4. DELEGATED PROVINCIAL PLAN REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Region’s Site-Screening Questionnaire The applicant submitted a Site-Screening Questionnaire (SSQ) answering ‘no’ to all questions signed by the Property Owner. The proposed application will facilitate the creation of new residential lots; therefore, we will require the SSQ to also be signed by a Qualified Person (QP) for the subject lands in accordance with the Durham Region’s Soil and Groundwater Assessment Protocol. Noise Impact Study The subject site is within 300m from the Canadian National Railway corridor and within 300m of Kingston Road a designated Type ‘B’ arterial road. A Noise Impact Study addressing transportation noise is required to be submitted to the Regional Planning Division for review and approval. Any Noise Control measures and Warning Clauses recommended in the Study must eventually be included in the City of Pickering Development Agreement or alternatively a land title agreement with the Region of Durham to the satisfaction of the Region of Durham. Traffic data is available from the Regional Planning Division. Please email noiserequests@durham.ca. 5. AGENCY COMMENTS Regional Works Department The Regional Works Department has indicated that they have no objection to the approval of the consent application subject to the applicant fulfilling the conditions outlined in their comment letter -60- -4- dated, October 22, 2024. 6. CONCLUSION The proposed application will permit the creation of three new residential lots to accommodate three new single detached dwellings. We have no concern with the proposed application subject to the clearance of the above conditions. Yours truly, Lauren Raney Lauren Raney Planning Analyst Attachment: 1.
