00:00:04 Speaker 01: Good afternoon. It is three p.m.

00:00:07 Speaker 01: I'll call this meeting to order.

00:00:08 Speaker 01: I'd like to welcome everyone here to these hearings today.

00:00:12 Speaker 01: The committee of adjustment is appointed by council to consider consent applications and applications for minor variances to the zoning bylaw.

00:00:20 Speaker 01: Please be advised that any applicant or agent present attending for today's meeting for a specific application may leave the meeting once the application has been considered by. the committee.

00:00:32 Speaker 01: An applicant, agent, or member of the public wishing to address the committee for a specific application is reminded that presentations are limited to 10 minutes per person.

00:00:43 Speaker 01: Are there any additional items from committee or staff members?

00:00:47 Speaker 01: Seeing none, does any committee member have an interest arising out of the minutes of the last meeting or listed on the agenda?

00:00:54 Speaker 01: If so, please state the general nature thereof. No, seeing none.

00:00:59 Speaker 01: Do any committee member have any comments or a motion regarding May fifth, twenty twenty-six minutes to be adopted today? Yes, Chair.

00:01:11 Speaker 01: I'd like to make a motion to adopt the minutes of the May fifth, twenty twenty-six meeting. Thank you. I'll call a vote. All those in favour? Aye. The motion is carried.

00:01:27 Speaker 01: There is no correspondence items being presented for consideration, so we'll go on.

00:01:33 Speaker 01: Please be advised that the Planning Act of Ontario indicates that if anyone other than the applicant, the agent wishing to to receive notice or decision of the Committee of Adjustment,

00:01:44 Speaker 01: or in the event the committee defers the decision or notice for further proceedings respecting the application, such person must leave their name,

00:01:53 Speaker 01: address in. writing with the secretary treasurer of the committee prior to leaving the hearing by filling out the signing sheet located on the table outside council chambers.

00:02:05 Speaker 01: In addition, only the applicant, the minister,

00:02:08 Speaker 01: or specified person or public body that has an interest in the matter has the right to appeal the decision of the committee of adjustments within the defined appeal period.

00:02:17 Speaker 01: More information concerning how to appeal the decision of the committee of adjustment to the Ontario Land Tribunal may. be obtained from the Community Services Department, Planning Division in City Hall.

00:02:30 Speaker 01: Planning staff, excuse me, Planning staff, will you please provide?

00:02:38 Speaker 01: Okay, we are on the right page.

00:02:40 Speaker 01: Would you please provide an overview of Report CS Twenty Six Zero Fifty for request for a certificate of cancellation for Twenty Ten?

00:02:52 Speaker 01: and twenty fifty Sixteenth Street East.

00:02:58 Speaker 02: Thank you, Mr. Chair, and through you, if I could ask the Secretary Treasurer to pull up Schedule A of the staff report on the screen. Thank you.

00:03:06 Speaker 02: So the requested certificate of cancellation applies to the lands shown on the screen before you, and I'll wait for Stacey to share. Thank you.

00:03:19 Speaker 02: The effect of the request is to merge. the lands outlined in red with those outlined in orange at the northeast corner of the intersection of 16th Street East and 20th Avenue East,

00:03:29 Speaker 02: municipally known as 1990 16th Street East.

00:03:33 Speaker 02: The lands outlined in red were created by way of consent in 2004, and therefore Section 50 sub 12 of the Planning Act applies to these lots,

00:03:43 Speaker 02: and they are separately conveyable parcels of land in perpetuity.

00:03:46 Speaker 02: Recent changes to the Planning Act in 2022. allow consent-granting authorities a mechanism to issue certificate of cancellations,

00:03:54 Speaker 02: providing that section 50 sub 12 of the Planning Act does not apply to the lands and allowing for the merging of property with an adjacent parcel under the same ownership.

00:04:04 Speaker 02: The requested certificate of cancellation is required as a condition of site plan approval granted in October of 2025, and is intended to ensure orderly development of the lands.

00:04:16 Speaker 02: There are no official plan policies. or zoning bylaw provisions that are impacted by the requested certificate of cancellation.

00:04:23 Speaker 02: With that, Mr. Chair, staff are recommending that,

00:04:25 Speaker 02: in consideration of Report CS Twenty Six Zero Five Zero respecting a request for certificate of cancellation for lands municipally known as Twenty Ten and Twenty Fifty Sixteenth Street East,

00:04:35 Speaker 02: and having roll number Four Two Five Nine Zero One Zero Zero Zero Six Two Three Two Seven Five, the committee approves the issuance of a certificate of cancellation. Thank you very much.

00:04:54 Speaker 01: Does any member of the committee wish to make a motion for staff report CS two six zero five zero? Yes, Chair.

00:05:05 Speaker 01: I'd like to make a motion for a approval of city staff report CS two six zero five zero. Thank you very much.

00:05:17 Speaker 01: I will call the vote. All those in favour. Aye. The motion is carried.

00:05:22 Speaker 01: The committee of adjustment today will consider one minor variance and one consent application.

00:05:27 Speaker 01: Scheduled under applications, the Planning Act requires that the public hearing be held before the committee of adjustment decides whether to approve a consent or a minor variance.

00:05:38 Speaker 01: The public hearing serves two purposes.

00:05:40 Speaker 01: First, to present the details and the background. of the application to the Committee of Adjustment, and the public, and second, to receive comments from the public agencies before a decision is made.

00:05:55 Speaker 01: For each application, the Secretary of Treasury will summarise the proposal and correspondence on file.

00:06:01 Speaker 01: The planning staff will provide any further other information that is relevant to the application.

00:06:06 Speaker 01: From there, the applicant will be provided with the opportunity to make presentation, followed by. questions or presentations from the public, either in favour or in opposition to the application, all questions should go through me, the chair.

00:06:20 Speaker 01: And presentations are limited to a maximum of ten minutes.

00:06:24 Speaker 01: Committee members will then have the opportunity to question the applicant, the secretary treasurer, the planner, or anyone giving presentations.

00:06:31 Speaker 01: The application will then be considered by the committee.

00:06:35 Speaker 01: Will the secretary treasurer please provide how, when, and to whom the notice?

00:06:40 Speaker 01: Through you, Mr. Chair, notice for these applications was posted on the subject property on Friday, May 15, 2026, being at least 14 days prior to the hearing.

00:06:45 Speaker 03: Notice for these applications was sent by mail to the assessed owners within 60 meters of the subject property and was also circulated to those persons, departments,

00:07:02 Speaker 03: and agencies likely to have an interest in the applications, as legislated.

00:07:07 Speaker 03: Included with each notice was a legal description. of the subject property and a description of the purpose of the proposed consent and minor variances.

00:07:14 Speaker 03: The circulations were provided in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter P-13. Thank you very much.

00:07:23 Speaker 01: I will now declare this to be a public hearing for application B-05-2026 to B-08-2026 and A-05-2026. Two thousand and twenty-six.

00:07:37 Speaker 01: Mr. Landry, will you please summarize the application and any correspondence received to date? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

00:07:45 Speaker 03: These are consent and minor variance applications that were put forward by Ron Davidson, land use planning consultant, on behalf of Jody Brown.

00:07:52 Speaker 03: The official plan designation is residential and hazard lands, and it is zoned as low density residential R three and hazard lands under Zoning Bylaw Two Thousand and Ten Zero Seven Eight,

00:08:03 Speaker 03: and low density residential R one and hazard lands. under Zoning Bylaw Amendment Number Fifty Seven.

00:08:09 Speaker 03: The legal description of the lands is Plan Brook Lots Eighty Five, Eighty Seven, Eighty Nine, Ninety One, Ninety Three, Ninety Five, Ninety Seven, Ninety Nine, One Hundred One, and One Hundred Three,

00:08:21 Speaker 03: E S Albert Street, City of On Sound, County of Grey, and it is known municipally as Seven Ninety One, Twenty Third Street West.

00:08:29 Speaker 03: The applicant is proposing to sever the subject property for the purposes of creating four new rez.

00:08:37 Speaker 03: Of creating four new residential building lots, each having approximately ten meters of lot frontage on Twenty Third Street West, thirty-seven meters of lot depth, and three hundred and seventy square meters of lot area,

00:08:47 Speaker 03: the severed parcels are proposed to be developed for semi-detached dwellings.

00:08:48 Speaker 03: The lands currently contain an existing single detached dwelling at the corner of Twenty Third Street West and Eighth Avenue West, and detached garages, which are proposed to be demolished as part of the application.

00:08:58 Speaker 03: The retained parcel is proposed to have a.

00:09:01 Speaker 03: The parcel is proposed to have approximately 10 meters of lot frontage on 23rd Street West, 200 meters of lot depth, and 8,520 square meters of lot area.

00:09:11 Speaker 03: A single detached dwelling is currently under construction on the retained parcel.

00:09:16 Speaker 03: The lands are also subject to minor variance application A052026, which requests relief from the minimum lot frontage for the single detached dwelling on the retained parcel.

00:09:26 Speaker 03: The proposed consent will result in the retained parcel having 10 meters of frontage along 23rd Street West. whereas 12 meters is required for a single detached dwelling in the low-density residential zone,

00:09:36 Speaker 03: a variance of two meters to the minimum lot frontage is being requested.

00:09:41 Speaker 03: Comments have been received without objection from the city's Building Division and Public Works and Engineering Division, Grey County Ministry of Transportation, Canada Post, Bell Canada, and the Grey Sulphur Conservation Authority.

00:09:53 Speaker 03: Comments have been received with objection from neighbors Joanne Robinson and Mike and Joe Matejic.

00:09:59 Speaker 01: Thank you very much, planning staff.

00:10:01 Speaker 01: Will you please provide any additional information that may be relevant?

00:10:12 Speaker 02: Thank you, Mr. Chair, and through you, the lands subject to the requested consent and minor variances are shown on Schedule A of the staff report and the screen before you.

00:10:21 Speaker 02: The lands are located within the northwest quadrant of the city, adjacent to the municipal boundary shared with the township of Georgian Bluffs, and have approximately. 50 meters of frontage along 23rd Street West,

00:10:31 Speaker 02: 198 meters of frontage along Eighth Avenue West, and 9,700 square meters of lot area.

00:10:38 Speaker 02: The lands contain an existing single detached dwelling and detached garage within the northwest corner of the property, which are required to be demolished as a recommended condition of the consent approval.

00:10:48 Speaker 02: A single detached dwelling is currently under construction on the retained parcel.

00:10:52 Speaker 02: As noted by the Secretary Treasurer, the lands are designated residential and hazard land.

00:10:57 Speaker 02: Residential and hazard lands by the city's official plan and are zoned low-density residential and hazard lands by the city's zoning bylaw.

00:11:03 Speaker 02: Single and semi-detached dwellings are among the uses permitted within the residential designation and the low-density residential zone.

00:11:10 Speaker 02: The hazard lands present on the subject property are associated with a steep ravine feature, approximately 0.6 hectares in size, and encompassing the entirety of the rear southern portion of the lot.

00:11:22 Speaker 02: The hazard lands also contain natural heritage features. including significant woodlands, wetlands, and a watercourse drainage feature, as outlined in comments received from the County of Grey.

00:11:33 Speaker 02: The subject consent application is required to conform to the city's official plan and zoning bylaw.

00:11:38 Speaker 02: Decisions with respect to a planning matter must also be consistent with the provincial planning statement or PPS.

00:11:44 Speaker 02: The proposal for residential lot creation represents intensification and infill development within a fully serviced settlement area that will result in a net increase of. four residential units and contribute to contribute to providing a range

00:11:58 Speaker 02: and mix of housing options to meet the needs of current and future residents as required by the PPS.

00:12:04 Speaker 02: The proposed development is directed away from areas containing natural hazards and natural heritage features and is therefore consistent with the PPS.

00:12:12 Speaker 02: The analysis provided within Staff Report CS26047 demonstrates that the proposed consent conforms to Policy 3182 of the Official Plan as it. relates to housing intensification and infill development,

00:12:25 Speaker 02: it merits note that the application is proposing a total of five units across zero four hectares of land, excluding those designated as hazard,

00:12:35 Speaker 02: which results in a net residential density of twelve five units per hectare.

00:12:41 Speaker 02: This is considered low density residential development by the official plan.

00:12:46 Speaker 02: Policy three one two three of the official plan generally requires that new development. of residential land achieve a minimum density of twenty-five units per net hectare, which, in the case of the subject property,

00:12:58 Speaker 02: would permit double the number of units proposed, or ten units.

00:13:02 Speaker 02: The proposed development and residential density optimizes the use of land resources and existing municipal services and public service facilities, and is appropriate in consideration of the site's physical limitations,

00:13:14 Speaker 02: including the limited opportunity for the extension of municipal services along the boundary road of Eighth Avenue.

00:13:19 Speaker 02: West, and the presence of hazard lands encompassing the entirety of the rear southern portion of the lot.

00:13:26 Speaker 02: Recommended conditions of the consent approval will require that the hazard lands present on the subject property be conveyed to the city to ensure the long-term environmental protection of these lands,

00:13:36 Speaker 02: as required by Policy 313-2 of the Official Plan.

00:13:40 Speaker 02: Conditions of the approval will also require that the area or limits of the hazard lands be delineated on site prior to the conveyance occurring.

00:13:48 Speaker 02: Section Nine Three Two of the city's official plan requires regard for certain criteria when considering an application for consent.

00:13:56 Speaker 02: As demonstrated in Report CS Twenty Six Zero Four Seven, the proposed consent conforms to the policies outlined in in Policy Nine Three Two Four,

00:14:06 Speaker 02: including that the lands have frontage on Twenty Third Street West and Eighth Avenue West, both of which are assumed public roads maintained on a year-round basis.

00:14:15 Speaker 02: The land Basis, the lands are located within an existing established residential neighborhood of the city.

00:14:18 Speaker 02: Existing municipal services are available within the 23rd Street West Road allowance to service the proposed severed and retained parcels.

00:14:29 Speaker 02: The retained parcel is proposed to have approximately 10 meters of frontage on 23rd Street West, 200 meters of lot depth, and 8,520 square meters meters of lot area,

00:14:39 Speaker 02: which is sufficient for accommodating the proposed single detached dwelling. Attached dwelling,

00:14:43 Speaker 02: the relief to the minimum lot frontage required for a single detached dwelling in the low density residential zone requested through minor variance A O Five Two Thousand and Twenty Six is technical and minor in nature.

00:14:56 Speaker 02: The requested variance results from the technical application of the zoning bylaw, which requires that in the case of a corner lot,

00:15:03 Speaker 02: the shortest lot line abutting the street shall be deemed to be the front lot line, and in the and the lot frontage shall be the horizontal distance between the side lot lines. So if I can. Side lot lines.

00:15:36 Speaker 02: So, if I could have the Secretary Treasurer pull up the site plan attached to the report, in the case of the subject prop, the retained lot,

00:15:45 Speaker 02: the front lot line is therefore deemed to be the lot line abutting Twenty Third Street West.

00:15:47 Speaker 02: The lot line abutting Eighth Avenue West is deemed to be an exterior side yard, and the lot line abutting residential properties to the east is deemed to be an interior side yard.

00:15:49 Speaker 02: The lot frontage is therefore deemed to be the lot line. abutting 23rd Street West, which is approximately 10 meters in length,

00:15:51 Speaker 02: measured from the exterior side lot line abutting Eighth Avenue West to the interior side lot line.

00:16:05 Speaker 02: The relief requested through Minor Variance AO5-2026 will allow the retained parcel to include a minimum amount of frontage along 23rd Street West, which is necessary to facilitate municipal services to the single detached dwelling,

00:16:14 Speaker 02: and therefore desirable for the appropriate development and use of the retained. lot, the proposed semi-detached lots fronting onto Twenty Third Street West meet the minimum lot area and frontage requirements of the city's zoning bylaw.

00:16:18 Speaker 02: The construction of the semi-detached dwellings will be subject to further review at the time of building permit application,

00:16:24 Speaker 02: at which time it must be demonstrated that the dwellings conform to the applicable site and building regulations of the zoning bylaw, including setbacks, lot coverage, and maximum building height.

00:16:35 Speaker 02: No further relief from the zoning bylaw is being requested. through the subject minor variance to facilitate the construction of the semi-detached dwellings.

00:16:45 Speaker 02: Recommended conditions of the consent approval will also require the provision of a grading and drainage plan and an archaeological assessment to ensure suitable soil and drainage conditions and no negative impacts on potential archaeological resources,

00:16:59 Speaker 02: as required by the policies of the city's official plan.

00:17:02 Speaker 02: With that, Mr. Chair, planning staff are recommending that, in consideration of report CS 20.

00:17:20 Speaker 02: Of report CS 26047 respecting a consent for law creation for 791 23rd Street West, you would approve consent BO5 to BO8 2026 by Ron Davidson Land Use Planning on behalf of Jody Brown,

00:17:29 Speaker 02: subject to the conditions outlined in Schedule E, and in consideration of report CS 26048 respecting minor variance AO5 2026 for 791 23rd Street West,

00:17:33 Speaker 02: you would approve the variance. as it maintains the general intent and purpose of the official plan and zoning bylaw, is minor in nature, and desirable for the development and use of the lands. Thank you very much.

00:17:48 Speaker 01: Does the applicant or agent? Oh, we're on. Yes.

00:17:51 Speaker 01: Does the applicant or agent? Hello, Ron.

00:18:15 Speaker 01: Can I finish my spiel for B zero five two thousand and twenty-six to B zero eight two thousand and twenty-six and A zero five two thousand and twenty-six?

00:18:24 Speaker 01: A zero five twenty twenty six reports and reference conditions.

00:18:26 Speaker 01: Do you have any presentation you wish to make?

00:18:28 Speaker 01: Yes, I shall be very brief.

00:18:29 Speaker 01: If we can possibly get this site plan back on, that might just help a little bit.

00:18:31 Speaker 01: I don't have a whole lot to say.

00:18:32 Speaker 01: With me today is Jody Brown.

00:18:33 Speaker 01: Jody's company owns the property.

00:18:34 Speaker 01: He's a home builder, and he's, as you heard, he's presently building a house on the retained parcel.

00:18:36 Speaker 01: There is already an older house on. the parcel that must come off, of course, and a garage as well.

00:18:39 Speaker 01: Not a whole lot to say.

00:18:42 Speaker 04: As you heard, the severed lots will conform with the zoning bylaw for semi-detached dwellings.

00:18:47 Speaker 04: The zoning bylaw allows for semi-detached dwellings, and as you heard from Jackie, that any future dwellings on the property will have to conform with the other requirements such as setbacks, building height, lot coverage,

00:18:59 Speaker 04: etc. The official plan. encourages a mix of housing types.

00:19:03 Speaker 04: In own sound, in own sound, in fact, in fact, it requires a mix of housing types.

00:19:09 Speaker 04: Long gone are the days where proposal of of large lots comprising single family dwellings are being proposed. That's not allowed anymore.

00:19:19 Speaker 04: This is though still a very low density development.

00:19:44 Speaker 04: As again, you heard Jackie say, with regard to the minor variance, her words and my words, it's a technicality.

00:19:54 Speaker 04: It applies just to the retained parcel, as you can see.

00:19:56 Speaker 04: I've shown a frontage of 10.29 meters, but it has lots of frontage along Eighth Avenue.

00:19:57 Speaker 04: But because of the wording of the bylaw, which is the same as every bylaw, on a corner lot, the shorter of the two lot lines is considered to be your front yard or your frontage,

00:19:59 Speaker 04: and therefore your front yard is from there.

00:20:01 Speaker 04: We need a variance because the bylaw requires 12 meters.

00:20:02 Speaker 04: Requires twelve meters of frontage, and we only have ten twenty nine.

00:20:04 Speaker 04: But it's a technicality, and while you're looking at this, you can see if Jody actually just had the retained parcel, didn't make it a corner lot,

00:20:09 Speaker 04: just made one two and three and one two three and four wider.

00:20:13 Speaker 04: We wouldn't need a variance because the property wouldn't be a corner lot; it would just be a lot with frontage on the Eight th Avenue.

00:20:19 Speaker 04: So why is he doing this?

00:20:20 Speaker 04: And Jackie kind of got at this for servicing reasons.

00:20:24 Speaker 04: There's no servicing along Eight th Avenue.

00:20:26 Speaker 04: Eighth Avenue, the city, and rightfully so, would not entertain them.

00:20:30 Speaker 04: Assuming they want anyways, an easement for servicing from Twenty-Eighth Street, Twenty-Third Street West.

00:20:37 Speaker 04: So instead of having an easement, just make it part of the subject property.

00:20:42 Speaker 04: So that's why the property is a little bit odd shaped.

00:20:46 Speaker 04: The remnant parcel, the retained parcel, it's nice back in there.

00:20:50 Speaker 04: It's a nice property, forested character, and yeah, that's that's a nice development. as well.

00:20:58 Speaker 04: Just in terms of one last thing, if you care, the archaeological assessment was carried out last week on the site. They found nothing.

00:21:07 Speaker 04: The archaeologist was in touch with me yesterday or today.

00:21:11 Speaker 04: The report will be finalized shortly, submitted to the province where it has to be registered, and of course, city staff will get a copy. That's it, Mr. Chair. Thank you. very much.

00:21:30 Speaker 01: Where are we at here?

00:21:31 Speaker 01: Are there any questions or comments from members of the public for B zero five two thousand and twenty-six to B zero eight two thousand and twenty-six and A zero five two thousand and twenty-six?

00:21:43 Speaker 01: If so, please stand, give your name and municipality in which you reside to the secret treasurer, followed by your comments.

00:21:51 Speaker 01: Well, I have some concerns. Thank you. My name's Mike Mattisik.

00:22:06 Speaker 05: I'm a resident of Gray Highlands, and I'm probably four lots away from this development on the corner.

00:22:15 Speaker 05: Technically speaking, I think cities well within their rights to grant approval. for the zoning on this property, I I've been in contact with the planning department.

00:22:27 Speaker 05: I understand what the limitations and why the the reasons behind why this is being divided the way it is.

00:22:34 Speaker 05: So I understand all that, but my my concern is, and I don't see any of my neighbors showing up this afternoon.

00:22:44 Speaker 05: So I'll voice their concern as well.

00:22:46 Speaker 05: Our main concern is the. creation of four lots on Twenty Third Street with a reduced frontage of from twelve to ten meters.

00:22:58 Speaker 05: I think what this creates is a situation where it's inconsistent with the rest of the neighborhood.

00:23:06 Speaker 05: I heard this gentleman speak about a mixed neighborhood. Yes, that's fine.

00:23:14 Speaker 05: I understand to be semi-detached dwellings each. straddling two lots, so that'd be four units total, but two separate buildings.

00:23:27 Speaker 05: Our concerns are really that the size of the lots are quite small as compared to the rest of the neighborhood, so the ratio of footprint to building size, footprint of building to lot size,

00:23:41 Speaker 05: is way out of whack with the rest of the neighborhood. So.

00:23:46 Speaker 05: To the neighborhood, so we're concerned with things like green space.

00:23:49 Speaker 05: We're concerned with issues like adequate parking for the residents in the new units.

00:23:55 Speaker 05: What we've seen elsewhere in the city in a situation like this is multi-car families and parking on the street.

00:24:05 Speaker 05: Currently, no one parks on the street because there's adequate room for larger and longer driveways.

00:24:12 Speaker 05: Another aspect of parking would be. snow removal in the winter. It causes some concern.

00:24:18 Speaker 05: There's no sidewalks on Twenty-Third Street.

00:24:22 Speaker 05: Pedestrians would have to negotiate any parked cars that might show up on the street.

00:24:28 Speaker 05: It's also a block away from a large public school, so two times a day during school months, a lot of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

00:24:40 Speaker 05: So, I think I've just about summed. up most of our concerns.

00:24:46 Speaker 05: It's just incongruous with the rest of the area.

00:24:49 Speaker 05: We're quite concerned it's not going to fit in, and we're worried about.

00:24:54 Speaker 05: I know it's considered low density even as proposed, but we are concerned with the density concentrated within four lots.

00:25:05 Speaker 05: Our preference would probably be to see one or two lots created instead of the four, with increased. frontage, similar to what is shown on the the map of surrounding lot sizes,

00:25:20 Speaker 05: that would seem to be more consistent.

00:25:24 Speaker 05: I think I've wrapped up everything I want to say, so I'll sit down. Thank you very much.

00:25:33 Speaker 01: Are there any further questions or comments from the committee to the applicant, Secretary, Planning Division, or staff, or any persons made? a presentation.
