Reports 4.1 P/CA 57/20 J P & R 10 Development Inc. 1604 Sandhurst Crescent The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 4058/92, to permit a minimum north side yard width of 1.1 metres, whereas the By-law requires a minimum side yard width of 1.2 metres. The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to recognize a deficient side yard width. The Secretary-Treasurer outlined the staff recommendation from the City Development Department recommending approval subject to a condition. Written comments were received from the City’s Building Services Section expressing no concerns with the application. Written comments were received from the City’s Engineering Services Department expressing no comments on the application. Written comments were received from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) expressing TRCA staff have reviewed the requested variances and can confirm they have no impact on TRCA’s policies and programs. As such, they have no objections to the approval. TRCA also expressed that TRCA staff previously issued a permit for the construction of a two-storey dwelling with minor grading to the rear on October 18, 2018. The drawings circulated to TRCA as part of this minor variance application are not consistent with the plans approved with the TRCA permit application (CFN 60300). It is our understanding the revised plans include a reduced north side yard setback to 1.1 metres. TRCA has reviewed the revised plans and have no objections to the proposal in principle. TRCA will not require a permit revision for the reduced side yard setback as these changes are minor in nature. Elena Latcheva, agent, was present to represent the application. Robin Thompson of 1594 Sandhurst Crescent was present in objection to the application. Elena Latcheva outlined an error was made during the construction of the foundation. In response to a question from a Committee Member, Elena Latcheva indicated the homes are still under construction and that they are owned by the developer. Robin Thompson expressed concerns with the variance infringes on her rights and TRCA lands, the homes are close together and on an angle; loss of privacy and explained the history of the subject property. In response to questions from Committee Members, Robin Thompson indicated she lives 3 houses south from the subject property and commented that even though the variance request is small they are still requesting more space. -2- Committee of Adjustment Meeting Minutes Wednesday, October 14, 2020 7:00 pm Electrontic Meeting Page 3 of 8 After hearing the neighbour’s concerns, considers the proposed side yard width minor in nature, and recognizing there are no objections from TRCA, Sean Wiley moved the following motion: Moved by Sean Wiley Seconded by Tom Copeland That application P/CA 57/20 by J P & R 10 Development Inc., be Approved on the grounds that the requested variance is minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, subject to the following condition: 1.

The Secretary-Treasurer outlined the staff recommendation from the City Development Department recommending approval subject to a condition. Written comments were received from the City’s Building Services Section expressing no concerns with the application. Written comments were received from the City’s Engineering Services Department expressing the shed to be relocated to a minimum of 0.6 metres from all lot lines.

Carried Unanimously __________________________ Date __________________________ Chair __________________________ Assistant Secretary-Treasurer -8- Report to Committee of Adjustment Application Number: P/CA 61/20 Date: November 11, 2020 From: Deborah Wylie, MCIP, RPP Manager, Zoning & Administration Subject: Committee of Adjustment Application P/CA 61/20 D. Church 414 Brian Court Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511, as amended by By-law 609/77, to permit a minimum rear yard of 3.9 metres, whereas the By-law requires a minimum rear yard of 7.5 metres. The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain a building permit for an uncovered deck. Recommendation The City Development Department 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance, subject to the following condition: 1. That this variance apply only to the proposed uncovered deck, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibit 2 & 3). Background The applicant is proposing to reconstruct a deck in the rear yard of the subject site. The stairs of the current deck are setback approximately 2.5 metres from the rear lot line. The proposed deck has been reconfigured to locate the stairs in the west side yard (see Exhibit 2). Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law The subject site is designated Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area within the West Shore Neighbourhood. Detached dwellings are a permitted use within the designation and a built form within the West Shore Neighbourhood. The subject site is zoned S1 within Zoning By-law 2511, as amended by By-law 609/77. The applicant is proposing to reconstruct an uncovered deck th at connects to the rear first floor entrance of the dwelling. Due to the irregular shape of the lot, the proposed deck is setback 3.9 metres from the west-side of the rear lot line, and 4.4 metres from the east-side of the rear lot line (see Exhibit 2). -9- Report P/CA 61/20 November 11, 2020 Page 2 The By-law requires a minimum rear yard setback of 7.5 metres, to ensure that sufficient amenity space is provided in the rear yard. The requested variance is intended to facilitate the reconstruction of a deck that will contribute towards the total usable a menity space in the rear yard. Due to the irregular shape of the lot, there is a large amenity area to the west of the deck, where an in-ground pool is proposed. The larger lot size also allows for amenity space to the south and east of the proposed deck. Moreover, the existing dwelling is setback 7.5 metres from the rear lot line. Therefore, any replacement deck on the subject site would require a variance to the rear yard. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land The proposed deck intends to enhance the outdoor amenity space in the rear yard of the property. The proposed structure is therefore desirable for the appropriate development of the land. Minor in Nature Unlike the front and side yard setbacks, Zoning By-law 2511, as amended By-law 609/77, does not permit structures to project into the required rear yard. At the deepest point, the deck is proposed to be 4.6 metres in depth and at the shallowest point, the deck is proposed to be 3.0 metres in depth, which is appropriate relative to the large size of the lot. The request to construct an uncovered deck with a rear yard setback of 3.9 metres is not anticipated to have any significant impact on the surrounding area and is therefore considered minor in nature. Conclusion Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance to permit the construction of an uncovered deck is desirable for the appropriate development of land, maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is minor in nature.

Smalley 1946 Wildflower Drive Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 4508/94, to permit an uncovered platform (deck) not projecting more than 2.7 metres into the required rear yard, whereas the By-law permits uncovered steps or platforms not exceeding 1.0 metres in height above grade and not projecting more than 1.5 metres into any required front or rear yard and not more than 0.5 metres in any required side yard. The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain a building permit for an addition to an uncovered deck. Recommendation The City Development Department 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance, subject to the following condition: 1. That this variance apply only to the proposed addition to the uncovered deck, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2 & 3). Comments Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law The subject site is designated Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area within the Amberlea Neighbourhood. Detached dwellings are a permitted use within the designation and a built form within the Amberlea Neighbourhood. The subject site is zoned S3 within Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 4508/94. The applicant is proposing to construct an addition to an existing uncovered deck. The existing deck projects 1.5 metres into the required rear yard, whereas the deck addition projects an additional 1.2 metres into the required rear yard. In total, the proposed deck encroaches 2.7 metres into the required rear yard (see Exhibit 2). -14- Report P/CA 62/20 November 11, 2020 Page 2 The intent of provision 5.7(b), restricting decks to a rear yard projection of 1.5 metres, is to ensure that sufficient amenity space is provided in the rear yard. The requested variance is to facilitate the construction of an addition to an existing deck, which will contribute towards the total usable amenity space in the rear yard. There is also sufficient amenity space to the south and east of the proposed deck. The proposed addition to the deck will also allow for an extension to the deck stairs (see Exhibit 2). The applicant has indicated that the larger steps will improve the safety of the steps. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The proposed deck addition is 1.2 metres in length, whereas the required rear yar d setback for the zone is 7.5 metres. A minimum rear yard setback of 4.8 metres from the edge of the proposed deck to the rear lot line will be maintained. The request to construct an addition to an uncovered deck that projects more than 1.5 metres into the required rear yard is not anticipated to have any significant impact on the surrounding area. The proposed deck will not have an impact on a residential property to the rear, as the subject property backs onto a ravine. The requested variance is therefor e considered minor in nature. Conclusion Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance to permit the construction of an addition to an uncovered deck is desirable for the appropriate development of land, maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is minor in nature.

Washington 1674 Dellbrook Avenue Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 2024/85 and By-law 2235/86, to permit an uncovered platform (deck) and associated steps not exceeding 2.45 metres in height above grade and not projecting more than 3.8 metres into the required rear yard and not more than 1.2 metres in the required south side yard, whereas the By-law requires uncovered steps or platforms not exceeding 1.0 metre in height above grade a nd not projecting more than 1.5 metres into any required front or rear yard and not more than 0.5 metres into any required side yard. The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to recognize an existing addition to an uncovered deck. Recommendation The City Development Department recommends that minor variance application P/CA 63/20 be Deferred to the December 9, 2020 Committee of Adjustment meeting to allow the applicant to resubmit a revised deck proposal. Background The existing addition to the uncovered deck was constructed by the applicant wi thout a building permit. A complaint was made to the City of Pickering By-law Services regarding privacy concerns with the deck. As such, the applicant has submitted a minor variance application to recognize the deck addition. Comments The applicant has decided to work with City Staff to revise the existing deck proposal to be located farther away from the rear lot line. This will require a decrease in the size of the deck and a reconfiguration of the existing deck stairs. The applicant has requested that the application be deferred to the December 9, 2020 Committee of Adjustment meeting so the applicant may have time to revise the deck proposal. -19- Report P/CA 63/20 November 11, 2020 Page 2 Input From Other Sources Engineering Services  No comments on the application.

Didio 5215 Sideline 16 Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3037, as amended, to permit an accessory building (pole barn) that is 106.0 square metres in area, whereas the By-law requires no accessory buildings and/or structures to exceed 10 square metres in area. The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to recognize an existing accessory structure (pole barn). Recommendation The City Development Department 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance, subject to the following condition: 1. That this variance apply only to the existing pole barn, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibit 2). Background The existing pole barn on the subject site was constructed by the previous owner without a building permit. The current owner is seeking relief from Zoning By-law 3037 to recognize the accessory structure. Comments Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law The subject site is designated Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside Area and Oak Ridges Moraine Prime Agricultural Area. Existing lawful residential dwellings and accessory structures are a permitted use in both designations. The subject site is zoned ORM-A and ORM-EP within Zoning By-law 3037, as amended. The existing accessory structure is 106.0 square metres, or 0.5 percent of the lot coverage. -23- Report P/CA 64/20 November 11, 2020 Page 2 The OMR-A Zone permits a maximum lot coverage of 5.0 percent for all accessory buildings, excluding private detached garages. The OMR-EP Zone requires no accessory buildings and/or structures to exceed 10 square metres in area. The accessory structure subject to the variance is located within the ORM-A Zone. However, section 5.34 of the By-law, Lots Having Split Zoning within the Oak Ridges Moraine, states that where a lot is divided into more than one zone and a use is permitted in each zone, t he zoning provisions of the most restrictive zone shall apply to the entire lot. The ORM-EP Zone is the more restrictive zone. The purpose of limiting the size of an accessory structure is to ensure the use is secondary to the residential dwelling and to regulate the scale and size of the accessory building. The property is used for residential purposes and the existing dwelling is the principle building on the lot. The existing pole barn is incidental to the dwelling and is used only for storage. Due to the large size of the lot (approximately 22,205 square metres), the existing pole barn accounts for only 0.5 percent lot coverage. The size of the accessory structure is appropriate relative to the large size of the lot. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The accessory structure subject to the variance is located outside of the ORM-EP Zone. Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff have stated that the subject site is regulated by TRCA due to its proximity to a large wetland complex located to the north of the site. However, TRCA staff have confirmed that the accessory structure is not within the regulated area. The 106.0 square metre accessory structure is an existing situation that has not negatively impacted adjacent properties, as no complaints have been made against the subject site. The requested variance is therefore considered minor in nature. Conclusion Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance to recognize an existing accessory structure (pole barn) is desirable for the appropriate development of land, maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is minor in nature. Input From Other Sources Building Services  No concerns with the application. Engineering Services  No comments on the application. Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)  Based on a review of the existing accessory structure which borders 5215 and 5165 Sideline 16, TRCA staff can confirm this structure is not within the TRCA Regulated Area and as such, would not require a TRCA Permit. A TRCA Permit will be required for any future structures located to the east and north of the pole barn. Based on the above, TRCA staff have no objections to the variance which recognizes this existing structure. -24- Report P/CA 64/20 November 11, 2020 Page 3 Date of report: November 4, 2020 Comments prepared by: Isabel Lima Deborah Wylie, MCIP, RPP Planner I Manager, Zoning & Administration IL:jc J:\Documents\Development\D-3700\2020\PCA 64-20\Report\PCA 64-20 Report.doc Attachments -25- Ninth Concession RoadBrock Road © The Corporation of the City of Pickering Produced (in part) under license from: © Queens Printer, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
