Public Meeting
PBD-2014-05- 26T-11-2013-002& AM-2013-017, German Village Estates Draft Plan of
Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment Application, 6854 Garner Road. Owner:
800460 Ontario Ltd. (Eric Henry). Agent: Al Heywood, Matthews Cameron, Heywood
Surveying Ltd.
Proposed Application
Applicant has applied to subdivide the 2.2 ha (5.4 ac) site that was formerly the location
of German Village club, into 30 lots for single detached dwellings.
Lands currently zoned Institutional (I) and Development Holding (DH).
The zoning is requested to be changed to the Residential Single Family 1 E Density (R1 E)
zone with site specific regulations requiring a minimum floor area for the dwellings and to
have 2 car garages.
In addition, a site specific regulation has been requested for Lots 6-10 inclusive to require
all buildings, structures and swimming pools to be setback 10 m. from rear lot line to
protect a Provincially Significant Wetland to the north of these lots.
Neighbourhood Open House
Held on November 25, 2013 with eight neighbours in attendance.
Concerns expressed and Applicant's response:
• drainage impacts, - applicant noted storm water would be diverted into swales and
catchbasins.
• fencing along periphery of subdivision,- would be erected if NPCA required and
existing fencing would not be disturbed, if it does not encroach on subject lands.
• rear yard setbacks, City staff confirmed that rear yard requirements would be the
same as surrounding developments.
• minimum dwelling sizes — applicant advised he would request minimum floor area
requirements for dwellings.
• timing of construction. — If approved, servicing of land is anticipated to being in late
Spring and subdivision be built-out in 3 years.
• Loss of open space
Planning Analysis
PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT & REGIONAL POLICY PLAN
Subject lands are located in the City's greenfield area.
Provincial policies require minimum density targets of 53 persons/jobs per hectare are to
be achieved in these areas.
The proposal has 51 persons/jobs per hectare and the Region has no objections to the
approval.
OFFICIAL PLAN & GARNER NEIGHBOURHOOD SECONDARY PLAN
Official Plan designates the land as Residential,
These lands are intended to be developed with a variety of compatible housing forms to
provide a full range of housing opportunities for residents.
Proposed development consists of larger lots for single detached dwellings that are in
keeping with the size of surrounding lots.
A housing target mix will be met based on built-out of the whole Garner Neighbourhood
area.
- 5 - January 28, 2014
Council Minutes
Zoning
Subject lands are currently zoned Institutional (I), in part and Development Holding (DH)
in part.
Zoning is requested to be changed to Residential Single Family 1 E Density (R1 E)to guide
the development of the lots.
To ensure that dwellings are built in keeping with those that abut the proposed subdivision,
the applicant has requested the following site specific regulations:
• built with minimum floor areas of 139 sq m (1500 sq ft) for a bungalow or 1 1/2
storey dwelling; and 186 sq m ( 2000 sq ft) for a 2 storey dwelling; and
• to require each dwelling to include a 2 - car private garage
To protect the wetland to the north of lots 6-10, the applicant has proposed site specific
regulations that would require all building, structures or swimming pools to be located 10
m from the rear lot line.
To compensate for the loss of building envelope, the subdivision has been designed to
make lots 6-10 about 9 m. deeper than a typical lot.
NPCA have requested that site alteration be prohibited in this area unless an assessment
is done to their satisfaction. The 10 m buffer area should be placed under an EPA zone
to better communicate the need to maintain the buffer.
Subdivision Design & Conditions of Approval
Subdivision provides 30 lots on a 210 m cul-de-sac off Garner Road.
City's Official Plan streets that terminate in a cul-de-sac are not to exceed 150 m.
Since the lands to the south and east are developed, and the lands to the north are a
Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW), providing a second means of access into the
subdivision is not feasible.
Fire Services have recommended that either dwellings beyond 150 m. from Garner Rd.
have sprinkler systems or alternative means of fire protection be proposed to their
satisfaction. Although sprinkler systems are not specified in the Official Plan, Ontario
Building Code or Fire Code, Fire Services is of the opinion that this additional level of
protection is necessary.
Sprinkler systems would have to be a condition of zoning.
Conclusion
Staff recommend approval of the application for the following reasons:
• The proposal complies with the Provincial and Regional policies with respect to
achieving minimum density targets in the designated Greenfield area;
• The proposal complies with the City's Official Plan and the Garner Neighbourhood
Secondary Plan with respect to residential densities and housing mix; and
• The PSW to the north of the subject lands will be protected by the proposed EPA
zone and by the conditions of subdivision approval.
Recommendation
That the German Village Estates Plan of Subdivision be draft approved subject to the
conditions in Appendix "A" of the staff report.
- 6 - January 28, 2014
Council Minutes
That the Mayor or designate be authorized to sign the draft plan as 'approved' 20 days
after the notice of Council's decision has been given as required by the Planning Act,
provided no appeals of the decision have been lodged.
That draft approval be given for three years, after which approval will lapse unless an
extension is requested by the developer and granted by Council.
That the application to amend the Zoning By-law be approved subject to placing the rear
10 m of lots 6-10 inclusive under an Environmental Protection Area (EPA) zone, as
detailed in the staff report.
That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Subdivision Agreement and
any required documents to allow for the future registration of the subdivision when all
matters are addressed to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor.
Fred Peck, 7160 Garner Road, outlined past issues related to sewers in the area
and asked if the sewer could be directed to Montrose Road. The Director of Municipal
Works indicated that the sewers had capacity on Garner Road and a local improvement
had happened to replace septic systems many years ago.
Pal Saini, 6847 St. Michael Avenue, purchased his lot because he did not think he
would have residential, backyard neighbours.
Rocky Vacca, Sullivan Mahoney, agent for the applicant, provided Council with a
handout. Mr. Vacca indicated he is satisfied with the report and asked for approval of the
report with the exception of Condition #6 in Appendix A, requiring sprinklers because it is
not a mandated law and although the Official Plan discourages cul de sacs greater than
150 metres, it does mandate that they require sprinklers for the households. He also
disclosed that he backs on to the property and that the soccer field also has impacts. Mr.
Vacca indicate that the property has been identified as Development Holding, so there was
always a possibility of development on the parcel.
The Public Meeting was closed.
ORDERED on the motion of Councillor loannoni, seconded by Councillor Thomson
that the report be approved with condition # 6 in Appendix A deleted.
