That the amending zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 15/04, as set out in Appendix I to Report PD 20-05 be FORWARDED to City Council for enactment. Executive Summary: The applicant requests a change to the zoning by-law to permit the development of nine detached dwellings on lands located immediately north of the CN rail line, on the east side of Fairport Road (see Attachment #1 - Location Map). The nine detached dwellings will front onto a 6.0 metre private road with lot frontages of approximately 13.0 metres and lot depths of approximately 24.0 metres (approximate lot area of 312 square metres)(see Attachment #2 -Applicant's Submitted Plan). The subject property is located between the Canadian National Rail Line, Fairport Road and a recently approved residential development to the north, at the south edge of the Dunbarton Community. Redevelopment of these lands presents a challenge due to the configuration of the property and the location adjacent to the CN Rail. The design proposed for this nine unit infill development is specific to the conditions of this property and does not set a precedent for future development in this neighbourhood. Through the review of this application, staff also considered alternative non-residential uses for the lands. While alternative uses were identified that could be supported from a planning standpoint, these uses were strongly opposed by area residents. Report PD 20-05 Subject: R & D Investments Inc. (A 15/04) Date: May 6, 2005 Page 2 The proposed residential development will not adversely affect the character of the neighbourhood, satisfies the noise and safety standards set by the Canadian National Railway and the Ministry of the Environment, and conforms to the policies of the Pickering Official Plan and provisions of the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Development and Design Guidelines. All interests of the City will be appropriately addressed through future subdivision and condominium/site plan agreements. Financial Implications: proposed development. No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the Background: 1.0 Comments Received 1.1 At the December 16, 2004 Information Meeting (see Text of Information Report, Attachment #3) Public Comments (Gall Clow- FRAC) · development is incompatible, but supports 12 metre frontages; · does not want private road development to set a precedent in Dunbarton Neighbourhood; · desires a building presence onto Fairport Road; · concerns over traffic onto Fairport Road; Applicant Comments (Julius DeRuyter- PMG Planning) · the property is a remnant parcel; · development will be in character with the existing neigbourhood; · driveway and berm will be owned by the condominium (common elements); · the dwellings will be freehold; 1.2 Agencies: Durham Region Planning Department conforms with Regional Official Plan; municipal water supply and sanitary sewer are available; further information is required in order to demonstrate how development will proceed with regards to servicing; after review of the noise and vibration impact study, the study is acceptable and consistent with MOE recommended procedures; after review of the Phase I Environmental Assessment, no issues of environmental concerns; no further Provincial interests are identified (see Attachment #4); expansion of the corporations plant will Veridian Connections - Report PD 20-05 Subject: R & D Investments Inc.

(A 15/04) Date: May 6, 2005 Page 4 2.0 2.1 2.1.1 2.1.2 2.1.3 Discussion Use and Compatibility The proposed development is compatible with the surroundinq nei,qhbourhood. The proposed development is compatible with the character of existing and recently approved surrounding development. Although a mix of both lot sizes and housing product type is typically encouraged within new residential developments, the size of the subject parcel and other factors influencing its development, limit opportunity to introduce variety in housing form. The proposal for nine detached units on a private internal road is considered appropriate provided architectural design requirements are incorporated through Draft Plan of Subdivision Application S-P-2005-02 to address Fairport Road streetscape. The proposed development completes this area of the Dunbarton neighbourhood in a compatible fashion. The proposed development is unique and will not set a precedent in the City of Pickerin.q. The development of this remnant parcel presents a unique challenge due to the size and configuration of the parcel, and its location adjacent to the Canadian National Rail Line. The development solution for this property will be unique to this location and will not set a precedent for future infill development in the Dunbarton Neighbourhood or elsewhere in the City. Through the review of this application, staff worked with the applicant to identify and explore potential non-residential uses of the property that could also be supported from a planning standpoint. Staff considered commercial/office, self-storage development and different forms of residential development such as townhouses, semi-detached and multi-unit residential buildings. Although non-residential land uses were identified that were considered compatible from a planning standpoint, area residents expressed strong concern and opposition with these uses. Consequently, although residential may not be the most preferred land use for the subject property, it can be introduced in a fashion that is compatible with the community and that meets required noise and safety standards. An appropriate livin,q environment can be achieved. Although the development being proposed abuts the CN rail line, the applicant has demonstrated through a noise and vibration report that, through appropriate attenuation measures, an appropriate living environment can be achieved in compliance with Ministry of Environment and Canadian National Railway standards. This is supported by the Region of Durham comments regarding the noise and vibration impact study. However, protected outdoor activity areas will be located in the rear yards of the lots, screened from the CN Rail by the physical structure of the dwelling unit. Typical front yard activities will be restricted due to noise levels associated with the CN Railway. Report PD 20-05 Subject: R & D Investments Inc. (A 15/04) Date: May 6, 2005 Page 5 2.2 Zoning & Design 2.2.1 Zoning standards will be consistent with recent development with certain modifications. Zoning will be consistent with recent infill development in the Dunbarton Neighbourhood. Minimum lot frontages of 12 metres, minimum front yard depths of 4.5 metres and minimum side yard widths of 1.2 metres and 0.6 metres and a 4.5 flankage side yard width will be required for this development. A reduced rear yard depth from 7.5 metres to 7.0 metres and a reduced two-way drive aisle width from 6.5 metres to 6.0 metres is required to address the shallow parcel width resulting from the requirement for the construction of a rail safety berm. To address the common element road, freehold units in the by-law will be permitted in this development to front onto a private road as opposed to a public road. These standards will be implemented in the proposed by-law. 2.2.2 A Holding Provision in the Zoning By-law will require appropriate agreements to be executed. In order to control development on the subject property an "H" Holding Provision will be implemented in the zoning by-law. The objective of the holding provision is to ensure that appropriate agreements are entered into with the City of Pickering and the Region of Durham to ensure that issues of the Canadian National Railway are addressed. Further, the holding provision will also require that other elements of the development are addressed including site plan/condo agreements, noise and vibration requirements, and site servicing and grading requirements. 2.2.3 Dwelling design will be addressed through an Architectural Desiqn Statement. Dwelling unit design will be controlled through the associated Subdivision Application S-P-2005-01. An architectural design statement will be required as a condition of approval for the subdivision application. This statement will address such issues as building envelopes, house designs, siting, and streetscapes as well as garage designs, locations, massing, width, and projections from the main dwelling, with a specific requirement to address the Fairport Road streetscape. 2.3 Associated Applications, Future Applications and Processes 2.3.1 Draft Plan of Subdivision S-P-2005-01 is required in order to create a developable parcel. A Statutory Public Meeting was held for Draft Plan of Subdivision Application S-P-2005-01 on April 21,2005 in order to develop this property for nine detached dwelling units, the parcel that is to be developed must be a whole of a lot or block within a registered plan. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to create one subdivision block on the subject lands with the intention to develop nine detached dwelling units. Report PD 20-05 Subject: R & D Investments Inc. (A 15/04) Date: May 6, 2005 Page 6 2.3.2 3,0 Condominium/Site Plan applications will be required. An application for condominium approval will be required to define the common elements of the development, such as the private road and the berm. These common elements will be approved as part of a site plan application. Along with defining the road and the berm as common elements the City will require securities for the installation of these common elements as well as landscaping, landscaping of the berm, and other works as required by the City through the site plan application. Applicant's Comments The applicant is aware of the contents of this report, has reviewed the draft zoning by-law, and concurs with the recommendations.

CITY OF PiCKERING PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Re: Zoning Amendment Application A 15/04 Applicant: R&D Investments Inc. Location: Part Lot 26, Concession 1 Municipality: City of Pickering This application has been reviewed and the following comments are offered. The application proposes to rezone the property to permit the development of 9 detached dwellings. Durham Reqional Official Plan The subject property is designated "Living-Area". Lands within this designation are to be used predominantly for housing purposes and developed in a compact form through higher densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas, particularly along arterial roads. The proposal would be permitted by the policies of the Regional Official Plan. Municipal Servicinq Municipal water supply and sanitary sewer services are available to the subject property. Although there is adequate capacity to service the property, it must be demonstrated that the proposed development will be service with a municipal right-of-way or the-property will be developed as a plan of condominium with full municipal.servicing from the Fairport Road frontage. Additional information will be required from the applicant to demonstrate how the proposed development will proceed. Provincial Plan Review Responsibilities The application has been screened in accordance with the provincial plan review responsibilities. The property is adjacent to Fairport Road, which is designated as a Type C arterial road in the Regional Plan. The 100% Post Consumer /~TTACHMENT ~ ~ 're REPOR'I' # PD o,~o Page 2 lands are also located immediately north of a railway corridor. Prior to residential' development of the lands, a noise and vibration study will be required to ensure noise and vibration impacts on the proposed residential units are adequately addressed. The study may be submitted for Regional review through an associated land division or plan of subdivision process. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment prepared by SoiI-Eng Limited, dated May, 2001, concluded that no issues of environmental concern were identified and there was no evidence of soil contamination. No further provincial interests appear to be affected by the proposal. If you have any questions or require additional information, please call me.

Coulter Associates Limited File: S-P-2005;01 (R. & D. Investments) Municipality: City of Pickering The Noiseand Vibration Impact Study addresses traffic noise generated .by Fairport Road, Highway 2 (Kingston Road), and'Highway 40.1. The study also addresses rail noise from the CN'Rail line, the primary noise source. The study'provides calculations and recommendations that would meet the requirements of the Region of Durham and the Guidelines of the .Ministry of Environment. The Study suggests that the Outdoor Living Areas (OLA) for the proposed units will .be shielded by the units themselves, with added protection by incorporating 2.4 metre sound barrierS in between the dwelling units and along Fairport Road and the easterly limit of Lot 9 to shield sound at the end of the units. This would satisfy MOE Criteria. Sound levelswere measures at the faCade of the units. Comments cannot be provided for the Vibration Monitoring 'component of the report. The Study suggests sound from Highway.2 and Highway 401 will.not be a factor.due to the elevated rail line in the vici'nitY which shields the propoSed development. Appropriate warning clauses are recommended regarding noise abatement features, including those units which require central.air, conditiOning. A standard warning clauSe from CN .Rail is ' included for these units as they will be situated within 300 metres of the railway right"Of-way. CN Rail should have been forwarded a copy of this Report due to the.proximity of this development to the railway right-of:way. CN.

Data -july 20, 2004 Romanowski, Geoff From: Geoff. Woods@cn.ca Sent: March 18, 2005 12:53 PM To: Romanowski, Geoff Cc: Julius De Ruyter Subject: Re: 1741 Fairport Road, Picketing Geoff: We continue to strongly recommend an increased building setback from the railway right-of-way, as we feel it is in the public interest and good planning to provide appropriate increased buffering from major rail freight corridors and to reduce the potential for future proximity conflicts. The City and developer should only proceed with the subject proposed development layout with a setback of only 21.9 m, with their explicit understanding and recognition of the concerns that CN has expressed and that CN will not be responsible for any complaints or claims from future residents. At a minimum, should the City and developer insist on proceeding with the proposed development layout, the following will be required: 1 - An appropriate legal agreement between the property owner and CN, including provisions for an environmental easement for operational noise and vibration emissions. 2 - The MOE noise criterion, including 55 dBA in the OLAs, must be met for all units. 3 - A minimum 3.4 m berm height must be provided along the entire property line. Any alternatives, such as combination berms/armourstone, would need to be designed in accordance with the alternative safety measures criteria previously provided, and CN would need to be satisfied with the structural engineer's recommendations. 4 - Appropriate warning clauses a registered municipal development agreement and in all future agreements of purchase and sale or lease for all units. 5 - Minimum 1.83 m chain link fencing provided along the mutual property line (located entirely on the subject property). With respect to implementation mechanisms, once I receive the City's acknowledgement and confirmation of my comments as noted above, I will have a draft legal agreement prepared and sent to Julius. There must be appropriate provisions included in the zoning by-law amendment ensure that the requirements are secured prior to any development.

Lot 126, Plan 1051 (1741 Fairport Road) City of Pickering We have reviewed the above-noted application and provide the following comments: 1) A stormwater management report will be required for this site. It must address quality control, quantity control and downstream erosion control. Storm sewer service connections will be required for each unit. 2) The proposed private drive aisle must be 6.5 m in width and allow for two-way traffic. The access onto Dunbarton Road is insufficient in width to provide a suitable entrance or to provide a suitable traffic restriction to ensure one-way access. Additional grading information would be required to determine whether it would even be suitable for an emergency access and be able to stay within the property limits. 3) Grading and drainage for this site must be able to accommodate existing drainage from the properties to the north and west. 4) Future maintenance of the berm and noise attenuation fence will need to be addressed. 5) A development agreement may be required to address works external to the site and for cost contribution to Fairport Road / Strouds Lane traffic signals. 6) The City of Pickering's Fill & Topsoil Disturbance By-law prohibits soil disturbance, removal or importation to the site unless a permit has been issued. A copy of that By-law is attached and should be forwarded to the applicant. Robert Starr RS:bg Attachment Copy: Coordinator, Development Approvals Development Control Inspector Fire Department comments Dated: Further Comments The Pickering Fire Service cannot support the applicant's proposal for the 5.0 m Private Driveway (One Way) through the south; side of the property for emergency vehicle access. Therefore, is requesting that the roadway be constructed to meet the requirements of Ontario Building 3,2.5.6. (Access Route Design) (1) (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (g). Additionally the Pickering Fire Service reserves the opportunity to reserve further comment on this site until all the site servicing (municipal/private water mains and hydrant locations) is provided for further review. November 29, 2004, Revision date: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 Geoff, based on our discussion of April 25, 2005 the writer forwards the following for your consideration. The Pickering Fire Service requires the applicant to provide a drawing(s) bearing an engineers stamp indicating how the requirements of Ontario Building Code 3.2.5.6. '(Access Route Design) are provided. In the latest submissions the applicant has increased the minimum roadway width to 6 meters, which is acceptable. However, there is no detail on the latest revision for this site, therefore the Wdter has attached the details from the building code as a reference for the applicant. The next set of revisions should be returned bearing engineers seal indicating how the provisions of the code are met. The roadway serving the site should have "tire route signs" along the southern portion of the road in compliance with existing "tire rout_e'~_~y-laws. The Pickering Fire Service requests that an additional hydrant be installed on south side of the site north of the proposed 3.4 m berm, between units # 4 and # 5 having a minimum flow of water not less than 500 imperial gallons per minute.
