4113/92 to permit a minimum rear yard depth of 3.4 metres to a roof extension
within the rear yard, a maximum lot coverage of 39 percent to accommodate the
existing roof extension in the rear yard, and an 8 square metre shed in the front
yard with a minimum front yard depth and flankage side yard width of 0.6 metres,
respectively; whereas the by-law requires a minimum rear yard depth of 7.5 metres,
a maximum lot coverage of 38 percent and that all accessory buildings detached

The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain a building
permit for an existing roof extension within the rear yard and zoning compliance
for an existing shed.
M. Yeung, Assistant Secretary-Treasurer outlined comments received from the
City of Pickering City Development Department recommending approval for the
variance related to the rear yard depth and lot coverage for the existing roof
extension in the rear yard, subject to conditions and recommended refusal for an
8 square metre shed within the front yard and a flankage side yard width of
0.6 metres. The City Development Department recommends that the application
be amended to allow an 8 square metre shed be located in the flankage side
yard with a minimum setback of 12.0 metres from the front lot line and a flankage
side yard width of 0.6 metres, subject to conditions.
Written comments were also received from the City's Development Control
Manager and Chief Building Official both expressing no concerns.

application. Luigi & Nancy Morra of 1100 Pine Glen Drive and Peter Bonfiglio of
1122 Pine Glen Drive were present in objection to the application.
Pasha Afshar explained there is an existing roof extension within the rear yard
and it will be removed and the proposed roof extension will be approximately two
feet smaller than the existing. In response to questions from a Committee
Member, Pasha Afsher indicated the existing posts will be removed and replaced
with metal posts and the roof extension is covering a concrete pad.

Sally Gajraj indicated the subject property is well maintained and does not have
a problem with the shed being located in the front yard.
Luigi Morra expressed concerns with drainage onto his property and the location
of the shed in the front yard.
Peter Bonfiglio expressed concerns with drainage affecting surrounding

• to recognize a rear yard depth of 0.7 metres and a flankage side yard width of
0. 7 metres to an existing shed on a corner lot; whereas the by-law requires a
minimum rear yard depth of 3.0 metres and a minimum flankage side yard
width of 4.5 metres for all accessory buildings located on a corner lot
The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain a building
permit to construct a covered entrance within the side yard and an attached
garage within the front yard, as well as to obtain zoning compliance for the
existing dwelling, uncovered rear deck and shed.
M. Yeung, Assistant Secretary-Treasurer outlined comments received from the
City of Pickering City Development Department recommending approval subject
to conditions. Written comments were received from the City's Development
Control Manager and Chief Building Official both expressing no concerns. Written
comments were also received from Carolyn & Paul Sweenie of 473A Oakwood
Drive in objection to the application.
Vince Modica, agent, Guiseppe Modica, owner, were present to represent the
application. Sal Modica was present in favour of the application. Robert &
Sharon Van Shaik of 478 Oakwood Drive, Thomas Martin & Michelle Mitchell of
477 Oakwood Drive, Doreen Brown of 475 Oakwood Drive, Brendan Donnelly &
Vera lsachenko of 479 Oakwood Drive and Dan Drummond of 482 Oakwood
Drive were present in objection to the application.
Correspondence received from Carolyn & Paul Sweenie expressed concerns
that the subject property is a corner lot and the visual obstruction the proposed
garage will have for vehicles approaching the stop sign at Stag horn Road and
Oakwood Drive, safety of pedestrians due to potential traffic hazard and the
siting of the garage in front of the existing home is unappealing. Carolyn & Paul
Sweenie questioned if the proposal is for an attached or detached garage, the
visual details in comparison to the surrounding neighbouthood, and will the face
of the garage be in line with or extend further than the existing home to the south.
In response to questions from concerned neighbours Vince Modica explained the
house has no garage, there are several trees on the property that have to be
preserved and the proposed garage is not able to be located in the rear yard
because there is not enough space. Vince Modica also indicated the dwelling is
registered as a 2-unit dwelling with the City.
Sal Modica explained the proposed garage will add value and blend in with the
home and surrounding neighbourhood. Sal Modica also indicated the zoning
issues are a result of the new street Stag horn Road.

Main Committee Room
Robert & Sharon Van Shaik expressed concerns the proposed attached garage
will negatively impact the surrounding area, decrease property values and feels
the garage can be located in the rear yard off of Staghorn Road.
Thomas Martin & Michelle Mitchell expressed concerns with the location of the
proposed garage and feels it could be located in the rear yard out of the way.
Doreen Brown expressed the same concerns as her surrounding neighbours with
the location of the proposed garage and feels it could be located in the rear yard
out of the way.
Brendan Donnelly & Vera lsachenko expressed concerns the height of the
proposed garage that it may turn into living space and feels a single car garage
would be better suited for the subject property. A photo was submitted for the
Committee to review and questioned where the proposed garage is going to be
located and how many metres it will project outwards from the front main wall of
the house.
Dan Drummond indicated there have been lots of changes in the neighbourhood
with large homes being built and he feels the neighbourhood is becoming over
developed. Dan Drummond expressed concerns with the proposed garage
having a negative visual impact and the affect it will have on the surrounding
neighbourhood.

The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain zoning
compliance for a proposed land severance administered by the Region of
Durham to create a new residential lot on the east side of the existing dwelling.

691 Foxwood Trail
Carried Unanimously
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law
1543/82 to permit a 0.2 metre south side yard width to an existing accessory
structure (pergola attached to a deck) not part of the main building, whereas the
by-law requires a minimum side yard width of 1.0 metre for all accessory
structures not part of the main building.
The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain a building
permit for an existing accessory structure (pergola attached to a deck)
associated with an above ground pool.
M. Yeung, Assistant Secretary-Treasurer outlined comments received from the
City of Pickering City Development Department recommending refusal. Written
comments were also received from the City's Development Control Manager and
Chief Building Official both expressing no concerns.
James Timleck, owner, Jim Drakopoulos, agent, were present to represent the
application. Douglas Kutz of 693 Foxwood Trail was present in favour of the
application.
James Timleck indicated this minor variance application is only in front of the
committee because of a complaint that was filed on the height of the existing
privacy fence and accessory. structure (pergola and deck) and not on the side
yard width. He further indicated that since the height of the privacy fence and
deck is below City requirements and there are no complaints regarding the side
yard width, the Committee should approve the application. James Timleck
explained if the deck was relocated or reduced in width size, it will not change
the visual impact on surrounding neighbours but rather there would be a safety
concern with the lack of space on the deck for people to pass.

Main Committee Room
In response to questions from Committee Members, James Timleck advised that
the above ground pool was installed in 2011 and the deck was built in the spring
of 2012. In addition, the Committee Member questioned James Timleck for not
obtaining a building permit and whether the existing accessory structure and
deck will comply with the Ontario Building Code. James Timleck responded that
he did not know he needed a building permit as the structure is soundly built, but
he anticipates that he would have no issues in obtaining a building permit to
comply with the Ontario Building Code.
Jim Drakopoulos explained if the structure was reduced in size there will be a
safety issue and if it is relocated there will be no change on the visual impact on
the surrounding neigbourhood. The Committee Members also questioned the
agent for building without a building permit. Jim Drakopoulos indicated he was
not employed for the construction of the accessory structure.
Douglas Kutz indicated moving or making the structure smaller will provide no
change and if the structure was to be made smaller, there will be a safety
concern for the users walking on the deck. Douglas Kutz explained the existing
construction does not impact property values.

Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Pickering Official Plan-"Urban Residential-Low Density Area" within the Bay Ridges
Neighbourhood
Zoning By-law 2511-"R4"-Fourth Density Residential Zone
Background
On November 7, 1967, the City of Pickering expropriated approximately 4.0 metres of
land across the property's frontage for road widening purposes. As a result, the
expropriation caused the existing front porch to encroach within the City's road
allowance. In order to recognize the porch encroachment, a formal agreement between
the City and the owner was executed.
The existing dwelling is a one storey frame structure and is estimated to have been built
in the 1870's. It is known as the Mathew O'Brien House. The property is identified in
the City of Pickering Inventory of Heritage Properties prepared by Unterman McPhail
Associates, February 2002, but is not listed on the City of Pickering Municipal Heritage
Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest or is it designated under
Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, therefore consultation with the Heritage Committee
is not required.
On May 1, 2013, the Committee of Adjustment deferred the minor variance application
as per the request of City Staff. Staff requested to defer the application in order to allow
the Pickering Heritage Advisory Committee to review and comment on the applicant's
proposal as a courtesy, given the age of the structure and its potential to have heritage
value.
On May 23, 2013, the applicant and owner presented their proposal at the Pickering
Heritage Advisory Committee meeting. The Committee commented a week following
the meeting in order to allow its members to visit the property. The Pickering Heritage
Advisory Committee advised that City Development Staff should consider a reduction to
the proposed scale and massing of the applicant's proposal in order to preserve the
character of the existing building.
Appropriateness of the Application
Front Yard Depth Variances
• the intent of this provision is to provide an adequate separation between the
building and the street activity in the front yard, and to provide an adequate
landscaped area and parking space in front of the property
• the front yard depth variances are to review the appropriateness of a second
storey addition and two-storey south extension to an existing detached dwelling

• the location of the dwelling is a pre-existing condition
• the owner intends on constructing above the majority of the existing footprint
while maintaining the front porch and front fagade
• the location of the proposed covered vehicular entrance will align itself with the
existing side entry
• the owner advised that the vehicular entrance in front of the covered entrance is
not intended to accommodate long-term vehicle parking since a designated
parking area exists in the rear yard
• the applicant is encouraged to design the addition in a style that is in keeping
with the architecture of the building and is complementary to the existing Ontario
cottage style structure
• provided that the applicant can submit building elevations to the satisfaction of
the City Development Department addressing matters such as but not limited to
scale, massing, glazing, building materials and roof design which complements
the existing building, the intent of the zoning by-law will be maintained

1101 Gossamer Drive
The applicant requests relief from the provisions of Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by
By-law 4113192:
• to permit a minimum rear yard depth of 3.4 metres to an existing roof extension
within the rear yard; whereas the zoning by-law requires a minimum rear yard
depth of 7.5 metres
• to permit a maximum lot coverage of 39 percent to accommodate the existing
roof extension in the rear yard; whereas the zoning by-law permits a maximum

Recommendations
The City Development Department considers the minimum rear yard depth of 3.4 metres to
a roof extension within the rear yard; a maximum lot coverage of 39 percent to
accommodate the roof extension within the rear yard; and an accessory structure to be
erected in the flankage side yard with a minimum flankage side yard setback of 0.6 metres,

Appropriateness of the Application
Rear Yard Depth and Lot Coverage Variances
• the intent of the minimum rear yard depth and maximum lot coverage is to
ensure that an appropriate amount of useable amenity space is provided and left
uncovered by buildings on a lot
• the applicant has requested an increase in the maximum lot coverage from
38 percent to 39 percent and a reduction the minimum rear yard depth from
7.5 metres to 3.4 metres to facilitate the construction of a roof extension within
the rear yard and to recognize the existing accessory structures on the property
• since the requested variances are related to a roof extension, with no walls, an
appropriate amount of amenity area is being maintained within the rear yard
• there appears to be no acjverse impact on surrounding properties
• the requested variance is minor in nature and maintains the intent of the zoning
by-law
Accessory Structure in the Flankage Side Yard Variance
• the intent of the requirement for accessory structures to be located in the rear
yard is to maintain a visually attractive front yard and streetscape, maintain
adequate buffer space between buildings on a property and street activity, and
avoid adverse impact on the streetscape
• the applicant has submitted amended plans demonstrating the location of the
shed within the flankage side yard, and not the front yard as previously submitted
• the shed is located within the flankage side yard and does not demonstrate any
adverse impact on the streetscape as it is screened by existing fencing and
landscaping from Dixie Road and minimizes the visual impact along Gossamer
Drive

Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Pickering Official Plan--Urban Residential-Low Density Area within the Rosebank
Neighbourhood
Zoning By-law 2511-"R4"-Fourth Density Residential Zone
Background
Upon review of the application, the City of Pickering Building Services Section considers
the proposed garage as a contiguous connection to the dwelling by means of a roof
extension between the proposed garage and the existing dwelling. As a result, the
applicant's designer has amended the proposed site plan to illustrate this change.
The City's Planning & Design Section is satisfied that this amendment is in accordance
with the spirit and intent of the applicant's requested variances and has revised the
requested variances pertaining to the proposed garage as follows:
Previous Relief Applied For Revised Requested Relief
Applied For
to permit a 52 square metre detached garage
located in the front yard with a minimum front yard
depth of 9.0 metres, a minimum south side yard to permit a minimum south width of 0.9 metres; whereas the by-law requires all side yard width of 0.9 metres
accessory structures detached from the dwelling be to a proposed attached
erected in the rear yard garage; whereas the by-law
to permit a maximum height of 3.8 metres for a requires a minimum side yard
proposed 52 square metre detached garage; width of 1.5 metres
whereas the by-law permits a maximum height of
3.5 metres for all accessory buildings
Since Staff considers the proposed attached garage as a contiguous connection to the
dwelling, the same zoning requirements (such as building setbacks and height) which
currently apply to the dwelling will also apply to the attached garage.
Report PICA 27113 May22, 2013

On March 24, 1984, the City of Pickering Committee of Adjustment approved a Minor
Variance Application (PICA 01184) to permit a south side yard width of 0.79 metres and
a flankage side yard width of 1.58 metres to the existing dwelling. As part of this
application, the applicant submitted a Surveyor's Certificate which illustrated a slight
reduction to the Committee's approved flankage side yard and south side yard
variances affecting the existing footprint of the dwelling. City records indicate that no
new alterations to the original dwelling have been made since the Committee's decision
in 1984. As a result, the City Development Department has requested that the applicant
recognize the flankage side yard and south side yard setbacks as illustrated on the
applicant's submitted Surveyor's Certificate.

Application
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 1543/82
to permit a 0.2 metre south side yard width to an existing accessory structure. (pergola
attached to a deck) not part of the main building, whereas the by-law requires a
minimum side yard width of 1.0 metre for all accessory structures not part of the main
building.
The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain a building permit for
an existing accessory structure (pergola attached to a deck) associated with an above
ground pool.
Recommendation
The City Development Department considers the 0.2 metre south side yard width to an
existing accessory structure (pergola attached to a deck) not part of the main building is
not considered to be minor in nature; not desirable for the appropriate development of
the land, building or structure; and not in keepillg with the general intent and purpose of
the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends Refusal of the proposed variance.

Appropriateness of the Application
Accessory Structure Setback Variance
• the intent of the zoning by-law in requiring accessory structures to provide a
minimum 1.0 metre setback from lot lines is to ensure that adequate space is
available for maintenance, to ensure that the eaves/overhangs do not encroach
on the adjacent properties, ensure roof drainage stays on the subject property,
and to minimize the visual impact that their location may have on adjacent
properties
• the applicant has installed an above ground pool and constructed a 1.0 metre
high detached deck around the pool. In addition, the applicant has erected a
2.5 metre high pergola on top of the deck and a fence along the south side of the
deck; these works have been constructed without obtaining a building permit
• the existing detached deck has a south side yard setback of 0.2 metres and a
rear yard setback of 1.0 metres
• further reducing the south side yard setback would increase the visual impact on
the adjoining properties and would also result in potential increase in the
activities on the deck thus having greater negative impacts on the privacy of
adjoining properties
• this may also establish an undesirable precedent for property owners to construct
decks beyond the by-law requirements·
• staff are of the opinion that the deck, pergola and fence would create an adverse
impact on to the abutting neighbours and therefore staff are of the opinion that the
requested variance is not minor in nature, not desirable and appropriate for the
development of the land and does not meet the general intent of Zoning By-law
• it should be noted that the applicant has submitted letters from 3 property owners
in the neighbourhood indicating that they have no issue or objection to the
proposed variance

create one new residential lot fronting onto Rosebank Road while retaining a larger lot
with partial frontage to permit one buildable lot off of Pike Court (see Applicant's
Submitted Plan). Amongst other conditions stipulated by the Land Division Committee,
the applicant is required to satisfy various requirements by the City of Pickering outside
of this minor variance application in order to finalize the land division.
The applicant proposes to construct a detached bungalow on the northerly portion of the
proposed retained lot. The owner intends to further subdivide the southerly portion of
the retained lands to create two additional lots once there is an opportunity to extend
Pike Court further south.
Although the Pickering Official Plan does not illustrate a future extension of Pike Court,
the City anticipates a southerly extension of the road through orderly rear lot
development. If rear lot development is pursued by abutting landowners, the owner of
the subject lands may consider filing future land division applications to the Region of
Durham Land Division Committee to create two additional parcels with minimum lot
frontages of 15.0 metres off of Pike Court.
Appropriateness of the Application
Side Yard Width Variance
• the intent of a side yard width is to provide an appropriate separation between
structures on abutting properties in order to maintain a pedestrian access, and to
accommodate grading, drainage and residential services such as air conditioning
units and utility metres
• the requested side yard width of 1.2 metres to the proposed dwelling will provide an
adequate separation between the dwelling and the property line to accommodate
pedestrian access, grading, drainage and residential utility services
• the proposed variance to reduce the side yard width from 1.5 metres to 1.2 metres
will not negatively impact the adjoining property to the north
• the requested variance is minor in nature and maintains the intent of the zoning
by-law

403 Finch Avenue
The applicant requests relief from the provisions of Zoning By-law 3036, as amended:
• to permit a minimum front yard depth of 10.0 metres to the proposed covered
porch; whereas the by-law requires a minimum front yard depth of 12.0 metres
• to permit uncovered steps to project a maximum of 2.2 metres into the required
front yard; whereas the by-law requires uncovered steps or platforms not
exceeding 1.0 metre in height above grade may project 1.5 metres into any
required front yard
• to permit a minimum side yard width of 0.9 metres to an accessory building
(detached garage); whereas the by-law requires a minimum side yard width of
1.0 metres
• to allow an accessory building (detached garage) to be partially located in the
east side yard; whereas the by-law requires all accessory buildings shall be
erected in the rear yard
• to permit a maximum lot coverage of 23 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 second storey addition, a covered front porch and an accessory building
(detached garage).
Recommendation
The City Development Department considers the minimum front yard depth of 10.0 metres
to the proposed covered porch; the projection of 2.2 metres of the uncovered steps into
the front yard; an accessory building (detached garage) having a minimum side yard width
of 0.9 metres and partially located in the side yard; and a maximum lot coverage of
23 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 conditions:

streetscape
• the detached garage is located partially in the east side yard and rear yard of the
property adjacent to the Hydro Corridor
• given that the detached garage is setback 16.0 metres from the street and set
only partially in the site yard, the siting of the garage will not impact the

Background
On July 11, 2007, the Committee of Adjustment approved a minor variance application
PICA 40107 to permit the construction of a one-storey rear addition and to recognize an
existing shed in the flankage side yard.
The applicant's proposal to permit a reduced flankage side yard width for a second
storey covered balcony through this variance application will allow the balcony to slightly
encroach over the existing shed.
Appropriateness of the Application
Flankage Side Yard Width Variance
• the intent of this provision is to provide an adequate separation distance between
buildings and the street within the flankage side yard, and provide an adequate
landscaped area
• the proposed second storey covered balcony will have an area of approximately
11 square metres
• an existing wood privacy fence screens the existing shed from Valley Farm Road
• an adequate setback will be provided between the proposed balcony and the
property line along Valley Farm Road
• the proposed balcony faces Valley Farm Road, therefore it will not negatively
impact the privacy of surrounding neighbours
• so long as the proposed second storey covered balcony remains unenclosed, an
uninterrupted pedestrian access into the rear yard through the flankage side yard
will be maintained
• the requested variance is minor in nature and maintains the intent of the zoning
by-law

2985 Golf Club Road
The applicant requests relief from the provisions of Zoning By-law 3037, as amended by
By-laws 3155189, 4825196, 6847108, to permit a temporary golf practice facility use,
whereas the by-law permits a golf club practice facility use until December 31, 2012,
after which only agriculture uses are permitted.
The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to continue the operation of a
temporary golf practice facility use for the period of July 5, 2013 to December 31, 2014,
after which only agriculture uses are permitted.
Recommendation
The City Development Department considers a temporary golf practice facility use 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 area zoned as "A(T-GPF)" in By-law 3037 as
amended by By-laws 4825196 and 6847108, as generally sited and outlined on the
applicant's submitted plans.
2. That the variance shall apply for the period of July 5, 2013 to December 31, 2015,
and that this decision shall become null and void on January 1, 2016.
The above-noted minor variance has been amended by staff to apply for the period of
July 5, 2013 to December 31, 2015 to allow the applicant additional time to seek
permanent zoning for the subject lands.

"A(T-GPF), A/GC & 02/GC"
Background
The subject lands are part of the Whitevale Golf Club property, which is located
southeast of the Hamlet of Whitevale. The Golf Course is within the limits of the Seaton
Urban Area. The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) recently approved Official Plan
Amendment No. 22 (OPA 22) including revised schedules on March 25, 2013, which
implements the Central Pickering Development Plan for the Seaton Urban Area. The
subject lands are currently within in the Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood Plan and are
designated "Active Recreation" which permits a golf course.
The golf practice facility (driving range) has been permitted on a temporary basis since
1996. The temporary use permission was considered appropriate until such time as
major road alignments for the future Seaton Community, which affect the golf course
lands, could be confirmed through the Region of Durham Environmental Assessment
program.
The current zoning permission expired on January 1, 2013 and the applicant has
requested to extend the permission for two more years. As noted above, staff are
recommending that the requested permission be extended for a maximum of three
years to allow the Whitevale Golf Club lands to seek permanent zoning permission to
permit the golf club and accessory uses over the subject lands. The draft Seaton
Zoning By-law permits a golf course on the lands in accordance with the Official Plan
and the property appears to meet the proposed performance measures.
Appropriateness of the Application
• the intent of the zoning by-law is to provide uses that are appropriate for the
subject lands
• a golf practice facility use has been permitted on the subject lands and no
change to the subject property are proposed
• the continuance of a golf practice facility on a temporary basis does not appear to
have any adverse effects on the surrounding area
• OPA 22 designates the lands Active Recreation which permits a golf course use
• a zoning amendment application will be submitted after the Seaton Zoning by-law
has been approved by the OMB

The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511, as amended, to permit a rear
yard depth of 6.0 metres to a proposed uncovered deck, whereas the by-law requires a
minimum rear yard depth of 7.5 metres.
The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain a building permit to

The City Development Department considers the rear yard depth of 6.0 metres to an
uncovered deck in the rear yard 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 uncovered deck, as generally sited

Background
The applicant recently applied for a building permit to replace the existing deck in its
current location. Based on staff's review it was determine that proposed new deck
required relief from the zoning by-law. The new deck will be attached to the main floor
of the dwelling and will have a similar height and dimension as the existing deck. The
proposed deck will have a height of approximately 8.0 metres from the established
ground level and will be approximately 13.0 square metres in size. In order to permit
the construction of the new deck, the applicant is seeking relief from the zoning by-law
to reduce the maximum rear yard setback.
Appropriateness of the Application
Rear Yard Depth Variance
• the intent of the rear yard depth requirement is to provide appropriate separation
between adjoining properties to protect privacy of neighbouring amenity areas
and to ensure adequate private rear yard amenity area is provided on the subject
property
• the proposed rear yard depth of 6 metres to the uncovered deck does not extend
across the entire width of the dwelling and the remainder of the rear yard will still
have sufficient amount of private amenity area
• concerns regarding privacy and potential overlook on adjoining properties to the
south and east will be minimal due to an existing mature hedge along the south
and east properties lines
• staff are of the opinion that the requested variance is minor in nature, is desirable
for the appropriate development of the property and maintains the purpose and
intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law

Committee of Adjustment Application PICA 36113
Bancan Homes (S. Hossain)
606 Rosebank Road
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511, as amended:
• to permit a minimum rear yard depth of 3.0 metres, whereas the by-law requires a
minimum rear yard depth of 7.5 metres;
• to permit a minimum north side yard width of 1.2 metres; whereas the by-law
requires a minimum side yard width of 1.5 metres;
• to permit a maximum projection of eaves and sills to project 1.0 metre into the
required yards; whereas the by-law permits a maximum projection of eaves and
sills into a required yard of 0.45 metres; and
• to permit a maximum lot coverage of 44 percent; whereas the by-law permits 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.
Recommendation:
The City Development Department considers the rear yard depth of 3.0 metres; north
side yard width of 1.2 metres; eaves and sills to project 1.0 metre into the required
yards; and a lot coverage of 44 percent for the proposed detached dwelling to be major
variances that are not desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and not in
keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law, and therefore
recommends Refusal of the proposed variances.

Background:
Land Division Application LD 058/1 0 was approved by the Durham Region Land Division
Committee in 2010 to create the subject property. At the time of the land division
application a conceptual site plan was submitted to the City Development Department,
which demonstrated that a future dwelling could be located on the subject property in
compliance with the zoning by-law.
Comments:
Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Pickering Official Plan -Urban Residential Area -Low Density Areas within the
Rosebank Neighbourhood
Zoning By-law 2511 -"R4" -Detached Dwelling Residential Zone
Appropriateness of the Application
Rear Yard Depth, North Side Yard Width, Eaves and Sills Projection and Coverage
Variances
• the requested variances should be considered as a whole as all variances are
required for the proposed development
• the intent of the zoning by-law is to regulate the size, scale and massing of the
dwelling and to ensure that proposed uses and structures are compatible with the
existing community
• a conceptual site plan, submitted as part of the previous land division application,
demonstrated that the property is of adequate size to accommodate a detached
dwelling in compliance with the zoning by-law
• City Development staff are of the opinion that the variances are not minor in
nature, given the extent and magnitude of the variances being sought
• the variances are not desirable for the appropriate development of the land as
the proposed dwelling will not be compatible with the surrounding character of
the neighbourhood
• the approval of the combination of variances requested by the applicant will result
in a property that is overdeveloped and will not provide sufficient soft landscaping
opportunities on the lot
• staff are of the opinion that modifications can be made to the proposed dwelling
in order to align the proposal with the standards established in the zoning by-law
