Committee of Adjustment from March 21, 2022. For the full meeting agenda please visit https://bit.ly/3tvcwwA
A
Well
good
evening
and
welcome
to
our
virtual
committee
of
adjustment
meeting
now
on
your
screen.
You'll
see
members
of
our
committee
of
adjustment
behind
the
scenes.
We
have
many
staff
members
with
us
this
evening
who
have
worked
hard
to
make
this
meeting
possible.
Our
secretary
treasurer
is
lindsay
staman
and
our
clerk
is
derek
o'shea
and
they
are
running
the
zoom
platform
from
behind
the
scenes
and
you
will
be
hearing
them
chime
in
from
time
to
time.
Now.
A
The
agenda
and
the
schedules
for
this
evening's
meeting
are
posted
on
dash
on
the
city's
website
and,
if
you
don't
have
those
documents
and
you'd
like
to
follow
along,
please
feel
free
to
access
them
now.
So
we
have
four
agenda
items
this
evening
and
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
the
format
that
I'll
be
using
as
we
navigate
through
each
application.
A
Now
it's
during
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting
that
I'll
invite
you
to
raise
your
virtual
hand
in
zoom,
if
you
have
any
questions
or
if
you
wish
to
make
any
comments
in
respect
of
the
application.
Now,
if
you
do
have
a
question
or
you
wish
to
make
a
comment,
please
don't
expect
an
immediate
response,
because
it's
during
this
public
portion
of
the
meeting,
where
we'll
be
recording
your
questions
and
comments,
and
it's
only
after
I
close
the
public
portion.
A
Will
the
questions
and
comments
be
addressed
by
the
applicant,
their
agent
or
staff
I'll
be
calling
three
times
for
public
comments
before
I
close
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting,
and
the
last
thing
I
should
mention
is
that
I
will
be
limiting
five
minutes
or
limiting
five
minutes
per
person
who
does
wish
to
speak
to
the
application
next
I'll,
invite
the
applicant
or
their
staff
or
staff
member
to
address
the
public
comments,
after
which
I'll
turn
back
to
the
committee?
A
Ask
them
to
make
a
motion
and
then
we'll
deliberate
on
the
application
and
make
our
ultimate
decision.
It's
at
this
point,
if
you're
the
applicant
or
the
agent
you're
free
to
leave
the
meeting,
and
then
we
just
rinse-
and
we
repeat,
I
just
I'll-
be
using
the
same
format
for
every
application
this
evening.

A
C
Yeah,
I
have
a

pecuniary
interest
with
seven
colburn
street.
The
owner
is
a
client
of
the
my
workplace.
A
Okay,
are
there
any
other
disclosures
of
cuny
area
interest?
Okay,
I

it's
on
the
first
item
item
number

for
275
helen
street:
I'm
working

on
another
project,
so
I'll
be
leaving
the
meeting
and
turning
the
meeting
over
to
vincent
at
that
time.
So
no
other
disclosures
all
right
other.
We
have
no
delegations,
there
are
no
requests
for
deferral
and
there
are
no
returning
deferred
items.
So
we
have
the
first
piece
of
new
business.
I've
declared
your
interest
so
vincent
I'll
turn
the
chair
over
to
you.
C
D
E
E
The
subject
property
is
situated
on
the
east
side
of
helen
street.
The
property
is
currently
occupied
by
a
two
and
a
half
story.
Eight
unit
dwelling
the
property
is
located
adjacent
to
a
variety
of
residential
uses,
including
single
detached
dwellings
and
low
rise
apartment
buildings,
ranging
from
one
to
three
stories
in
height
next
slide.
E
The
property
is
designated
residential
in
the
official
plan
and
is
zoned
multiple
family
dwelling
b3
zone
in
zoning
bylaw
8499,
which
permits
multiple
family
dwellings
containing
three
or
more
units
to
a
maximum
density
of
123
units
per
net
hectare.
Next
slide,
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
add
a
ninth
dwelling
unit
to
the
existing
eight
unit
dwelling
for
a
density
of
approximately
100
units
per
hectare.
E
E
The
floor
plan
here
illustrates
the
proposed
interior
location
of
the
new
bachelor
dwelling
unit
in
blue
on
the
lower
level
of
the
existing
building.
Excellent,
the
existing
eight
unit
dwelling
on
this
subject.
Property
was
established
prior
to
zoning
bylaw
8499
coming
into
force
in
effect
and
as
a
result,
is
legal
non-complying.
With
respect
to
several
provisions
of
the
b3
zone,
including
off-street
vehicle
parking,
five
vehicle
parking
spaces
are
currently
provided
on
the
subject:
property
three
within
the
north
side
yard
and
two
within
the
front
yard.
E
An
application
for
permission
is
required
to
facilitate
the
expansion
of
the
existing
non-complying
front
yard
parking
area.
The
existing
front
yard
parking
area
encroaches
into
the
municipal
road
allowance
currently,
and
so
the
proposed
expansion
will
provide
for
two
off-street
vehicle
parking
spaces
entirely
on
private
property,
next
slides.
E
In
addition
to
facilitate
the
addition
of
a
ninth
dwelling
unit
within
the
existing
building,
the
applicant
is
requesting
a
minor
variance
from
zoning
barlow
8499
to
reduce
the
number
of
required
parking
spaces
for
the
proposed
bachelor
dwelling
unit
from
1.4
parking
spaces
per
unit
to
zero
parking
spaces.
For
that
particular
unit,
the
site
is
currently
supported
by
five
vehicle
parking
spaces,
which
will
result
results
in
a
parking
rate
of
0.55
parking
spaces
per
dwelling
unit.
Following
the
addition
of
the
new
unit.
E
Approval
of
this
application
will
facilitate
the
development
of
a
new
dwelling
unit
within
an
existing
building
in
an
area
that
is
zoned
to
allow
multi-residential
development
and
that
will
add
density
into
a
neighborhood
that
is
supported
by
transit
in
active
transportation,
infrastructure
near
employment
and
commercial
uses,
and
that
is
compatible
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
and
with
that
I
am
happy
to
answer
any
questions
regarding
this
application.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
megan,
so
I
would
like
to
call
on
the
applicant
and
or
their
agent
to
identify
themselves
by
name,
address
and
address
for
the
record
place.
F
There,
through
you,
mr
vice
chair,
yeah,
my
name's,
alex
adams,
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
the
owners,
I
work
for
the
boulevard
group
just
just
to
go
over
the
application.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
megan.
Just
it
there's
no
expansion
of
the
building
proposed.
It
is
just
an
internal
conversion
for
a
space
which
has
previously
been
used
just
for
general
storage.
F
The
current
owners
purchased
the
building
last
year
and
they've
just
seen
an
opportunity
to
make
use
of
this
space
and
add
another
another
small
unit
to
the
housing
stock,
with
inking.
C
C
F
Just
just
the
wording
of
the
conditions
condition
five
and
six.
The
way
it's
been
worded,
the
works
would
have
to
be
completed
in
advance
of
applying
for
a
building
permit
to
add
the
new
unit,
and
the
owners
are
just
looking
to
do.
F
Do
all
the
work
at
the
same
time,
instead
of
just
mainly
from
a
timing
perspective,
the
time
it
takes
to
get
permits,
etc,
it
would
just
add
several
months,
four
five
six
months
or
something
onto
it.
If
they
had
to
seek
a
building
permit
for
the
shed
build
it
get
it
inspected,
then
reapply
for
the
unit
they're
just
looking
to
do
everything
all
at
the
same
time.
F
So
we
just
would
request
that
the
wording
for
five
and
six
is
just
adjusted
that
it
can
be.
The
work
can
be
completed
at
the
same
time
with
the
building
permit
for
the
unit.
C
Okay,
I
guess
when
the
staff
will
speak
later,
they
could
maybe
shed
some
light
on
on
the
conditions.
C
G
Thank
you.
This
is
probably
more
to
staff
than
it
is
to
the
applicant.
I
believe
there
was
a
parking
study
done
and
I
don't
recall
you
mentioning
that
in
your
sort
of
presentation,
I
think,
was
lindsay.
Who
did
the
presentation
but
just
wondering
if
you
could
just
highlight
the
the
major
findings
from
that
parking
study?
Thank
you.
E
Certainly
through
you
vice
chair,
so
through
the
pre-application
process,
planning
staff
actually
determined
that
a
parking
study
would
not
be
required
for
the
initial
submission
of
this.
This
minor
variance
application
provided
the
planning
justification
study
sufficiently
addressed
how
parking
were
to
function
on
the
site
and
how
it
functions
currently,
and
and
essentially
how
the
new
dwelling
unit
that's
proposed
without
a
parking
space
would
not
be
exacerbating
any
parking
issues
on
the
site.
E
So
the
applicant
did
provide
this
information
and
clarification
regarding
the
number
and
location
of
existing
parking
spaces
on
the
property,
as
we
saw
on
their
submitted
site
plan,
and
so
this
ultimately
did
identify
the
need
for
a
permission,
application
to
allow
for
the
expansion
of
that
front
yard
parking
area
so
that
we
could
correct
that
issue
of
encroachment
and
so
and,
as
was
reviewed,
that
is
something
that's
been
incorporated
into.
The
application.
G
Just
to
follow
up,
if
I
may
yeah,
I
thought
I
read
on
one
of
the
pages:
forefront
engineering
did
a
parking
study
on
page
12
of
the
report.
E
E
Certainly
through
you
vice
chair,
I'm
happy
to
speak
to
that
as
well,
so
under
the
building
code,
it's
quite
specific
in
terms
of
the
way
in
which.
E
Occupancy
permits
can
be
issued,
building
services
would
not
be
able
to
hold
up
the
issuance
of
an
occupancy
permit
under
the
building
code
for
items
that
are
not
related
to
code
requirements.
So
it's
for
this
reason
that
the
requirement
for
the
installation
of
the
bicycle
parking
spaces
and
the
expansion
of
the
front
yard
parking
area
have
been
tied
to
building
permit
issuance,
as
opposed
to
the
issuance
of
the
occupancy
permit
or
final
billing
permits
inspections
by
our
building
officials,
because
this
is
not
something
that
they
would
be
able
to
enforce
through
that
process.
E
But
there
is.
There
is
no
reason
that
the
applicant
couldn't
proceed
now
with
their
building.
Permit
application
for
the
building.
Pardon
me
for
the
bicycle
shed
in
order
to
avoid
any
further
delays.
H
Hello,
just
a
question
for
staff
with
respect
to
the
addendum
do
do
we
have
pictures
of
the
inside
of
what
of
the
inside
of
this
unit
of
what
this
person's
kind
of
talking
about
how
the
tight
spaces
and
all
that
sort
of
stuff,
or
have
you
seen
them?
H
E
Through
you,
mr
vice
chair,
as
I
shared
in
my
presentation,
the
applicant
has
submitted
with
their
application
interior
floor
plans
of
the
existing
building
and
the
proposed
layout.
Following
the
addition
of
this
new
dwelling
unit.
E
It
wouldn't
be
typical
for
staff
to
attend
and
tour
the
interior
of
a
building
for
the
purposes
of
an
application
such
as
this,
but
we
certainly
did
attend
the
site
and
do
a
walk
around
of
the
exterior
of
the
building
to
see
where
things
such
as
the
proposed
bicycle
storage
shed
and
to
better
understand
the
existing
parking
configuration
on
the
site.
But
I
think,
for
the
purposes
of
our
review,
we
were
of
the
opinion
that
the
submitted
floor
plans
were
sufficient
in
terms
of
understanding
how
the
interior
of
the
building
would
function.
F
Alex
yeah
through
you,
mr
vice
chair,
just
to
build
on
megan's
comments
there.
The
the
layout
has
been
designed
by
an
architect.
There
will
be
improvements
to
the
interior
of
the
building
to
bring
the
laundry
and
access
area
up
to
current
fire
and
building
code,
and
the
new
unit
will
be
subject
to
a
new
building
permit
and
inspections
by
a
city
staff.
C
I
J
E
That
that's
correct.
It
would
be
our
opinion
that
this
would
be
the
only
way
to
structure
those
conditions
so
as
to
secure
them
appropriately
through
this
process.
Thank
you.
C
K
Hi,
this
is
ann
ginn.
I
just
have
some
questions
and-
and
this
may
be-
because
I
just
don't
know
this
process
very
well
as
well,
so
I
have
questions
about
all
of
them.
The
first
one
parking
when
there's
a
change
in
the
parking
would
that
that
mean
a
loss.
I
I
read
it
as
a
loss
of
everybody
loses
their
spot.
K
That's
how
I
understood
what
I
was
reading
and
certainly
when
I
moved
into
this
building
it
was,
there
was
a
guaranteed
spot.
There
was
a
verbal
agreement
contract
there
that
there
was
a
spot
and
I'm
that's
just
a
concern.
I
don't
know
if
it's
realistic
that
those
who
have
already
have
guaranteed
parking
spots
would
lose
their
parking
spots.
That
was
the
first
thing
and
then
I
I
don't
know
we
currently
have
a
shed,
which
is
storage.
K
There
are
eight
eight
little
units
within
it
that
are
locked
and
I'm
curious
if
we're
going
to
lose
that
as
well.
If
it's,
if
that's,
if
the
other
shed,
is
going
to
replace
that
shed
or
if
it's
separate
and
I
I
would
really
like
to
understand
better
the
security
on
the
on
the
new
proposed
bike,
shed
that's
going
to
make
a
difference
of
how
I
feel
about
this.
This
shed,
because
we
already
have
challenges
with
like
petty
theft
and
and
people
coming
into
our
backyard
anyways.
K
So
that's
a
question
because
those
of
us
who
moved
in
here
previously
we
had
a
storage
area
specifically
that
wasn't
just
bicycles.
It
was
whatever
we
wanted
to
put
into
it.
So
I'm
curious
if
we're
going
to
lose
that
shed
as
well
and
then
the
third.
K
The
third
general
question
I
have
is
I'm
at
one
point
in
time
this
this
space,
this
basement
unit,
was
used
as
a
bachelor
apartment,
and
I
think
it
was
done
illegally
or
under
the
table
or
whatever
and
I'm
curious
about.
If
there
was
any
attempt
to
make
it
a
legal
space
in
the
past
and
what
was
the,
what
were
the
reasons
behind
it
not
being
successful
like?
Why
didn't
it
go
through
then
like?
Why
now,
as
opposed
to
before-
and
I
have
I
you
know-
I
don't
necessarily
have
any
objections
to
it.
K
I'm
just
curious
why?
Why
is
this
circumstance
different
now
as
opposed
to
before,
and
so
those
are
my
questions.
What
happens
to
the
like?
Do
we
all
lose
our
spots?
Do
we
is
the
shed,
is
the
shed
gone?
Do
we
lose
our
storage
and
why
now
for
that
particular
unit,
and
that's
there
we
go.
Those
are
my
questions.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
man,
so
now
next
I
see
is
carries
peterson
cats.
Hopefully
I
said
that
correctly
I
registered.
B
With
you,
mr
vice
chair,
I'll,
just
remind
that,
if
we
could
have,
people
also
provide
their
address
as
well
for
the
record,
when
speaking,
I
was
able
to
flush
it
out
for
the
previous
speaker,
but
thank
you.
Yes,
if.
C
L
Okay,
great
so
hi,
I'm
karis,
peterson
katz.
I
am
a
tenant
of
275
helen
street,
so
I'm
unit
two,
so
I
would
be
the
neighbor
to
the
new
bachelor
dwelling
and
I
actually
was
wondering
if
you
could
megan
if
you
could
show
the
proposed
floor
plan
again.
I
just
have
a
question
about
the
proposed
floor
plan,
so
the
floor
plan
that
was
shown
in
the
presentation
yeah.
So
I
have
a
question
about
this
because
this
isn't.
This
is
incorrect.
L
This
is
not
what
the
the
bottom
floor
looks
like
currently,
so
it
says
proposed
laundry
room.
However,
this
is
not
a
meeting
regarding
changing
the
laundry
room,
so
the
wall
for
the
laundry
room
is
not
where
this
wall
is,
but
this
proposal
states
that
this
is
a
minor
change,
whereas
this
proposed
floor
plan
has
a
completely
different
layout
for
the
laundry
room.
L
It
looks
like
it's
cut
it
in
half,
because
the
electrical
room
and
the
proposed
bachelor
apartment
door
are
currently
residing
inside
of
the
laundry
room
so
where
there's
no
door
at
the
end
of
the
hallway,
so
where
apartment
one
and
apartment
two
end,
that's
where
the
door
for
the
laundry
room
currently
is
so
it
looks
like
either
there's
going
to
be
a
wall
added
to
shorten
the
laundry
room.
I'm
I'm
just
curious.
Why
why
it
looks
like
this.
L
C
C
Yeah,
you
asked
them
all
and
then
we'll
we'll
go
through
them
afterwards,
after
everybody's
spoken.
L
Sure
so
my
other
questions
sort
of
go
along
with
annie's,
so
in
our
lease
it
states
that
we
have
one
guaranteed
parking
spot.
Does
this
mean
that
we
are
losing
our
parking
spot?
And
how
does
this
impact
us
as
tenants?
Because
when
we
signed
our
lease,
this
was
something
that
was
guaranteed
to
us
and
the
storage
as
well.
The
storage
units
is
something
that
the
tenants
currently
use
if
we
are
for
some
reason
being
replaced
with
nine
bike.
Rack,
I'm
wondering
again
why
and
why.
L
This
would
be,
I
guess,
more
beneficial
than
the
storage
unit,
oh
back
and
yeah.
My
other.
My
other
comment
is
that
this
was
proposed
as
minor,
however,
as
a
tenant
who
would
be
sharing
a
wall
with
this
unit,
I'm
wondering
about
the
construction
noise
and
I'm
wondering
about
how
the
construction
is
going
to
impact
the
reasonable
enjoyment
of
the
use
of
my
my
unit
and
apartment
one
as
well.
L
C
Thank
you
so
now
I
see
max
edgington,
I
recognize
you
and
if
you
could
state
your
name
and
address,
please
thanks.
N
Vincent
max
edgington
tenant
for
apartment,
two,
two,
seven
five
helen
street-
so
this
is
I
I
was
unaware.
Charis
is
going
to
speak,
so
we're
kind
of
in
the
same
apartment,
and
my
only
real
concern
is
the
breach
of
the
covenant
of
quiet
enjoyment
of
the
space.
Considering
the
location
of
the.
N
Especially
as
I'm
I'm
really
connected
to
that
space
by
just
like
a
wall
or
or
two
and
yeah
that
I
mean
that's,
that's
that's
pretty
much
my
only
concern
regarding
this
project.
I
don't
really
understand
the
need
for
bike
racks.
N
I
know
that
annie,
who
mentioned,
who
is
speaking
earlier,
has
a
usage
for
them,
but
I'm
not
really
sure
why
it's
necessary
and
then
I
don't
really
understand
the
depiction
of
five
parking
spots
as
karis
alluded
in
our
lease,
it
states
that
we
have
a
parking
spot,
there's
more
than
I
think,
there's
five
in
that
one
section
that
was
depicted
as
having
three,
and
so
I'm
not
really.
N
I
don't
really
understand
why
it
states
that
there's
only
three,
especially
considering
axon,
told
us
specifically
that
eight
parking
spots
existed
in
that
one
section
which
was
depicted
to
you
to
to
you
committee
members
is
having
just
three,
so
I
think
there's
some
slight
discrepancies,
but
aside
from
that,
it's
mainly
just
the
concern
of
my
own
quiet
enjoyment
of
the
space.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
C
So
I'll
call
a
second
time.
Is
there
anybody
wishing
to
speak
on
the
application
for
275
helen
street,
please
raise
your
virtual
hand
and
zoom
and
I'll
call
one
last
time.
If
there's
anybody
wishing
to
speak
about
275
helen
street,
please
raise
your
hand
and
zoom.
Seeing
is
none
I'll
close
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting
and
we'll
move
on
for
the
applicant
or
staff
to
answer.
E
For
you
vice
chair,
perhaps
I'll
jump
in
and
then,
if
there's
anything
that
the
applicant
would
like
to
add
they're
more
than
welcome
to
do
so.
In
regards
to
the
questions
on
parking
that
we
heard
from
all
three
of
the
individuals
that
spoke
this
evening,
the
five
parking
spaces
that
exist
on
the
site
today
will
continue
to
be
maintained
on
the
property.
So
the
way
in
which
those
parking
spaces
are
assigned
by
the
landlord
or
the
owner
of
the
property
would
would
really
be
up
to
them.
E
The
assignment
of
those
parking
spaces
wouldn't
be
something
that
would
be
be
necessarily
worked
out
through
the
zoning,
but
I'll
I'll
certainly
invite
mr
adams
to
provide
more
information
on
that
if
he
has
it
after
I
kind
of
run
through
the
information
that
I
have
to
share
and
then
in
regards
to
the
existing
shed
on
the
property,
I
would
ask
the
clerk
if
he
doesn't
mind
to
go
to
slide
four.
The
site
plan
should
provide
us
with
a
clear
illustration
of
both
the
existing
shed.
E
That's
on
the
property,
as
well
as
the
new
shed.
That's
proposed
for
bicycle
parking,
so
the
the
bicycle
storage
shed
will
be
a
second
new
shed.
That's
proposed
on
the
site
and
the
existing
shed
will
will
remain
so
I'll
I'll.
Look
to
mr
adams
to
provide
clarification
in
terms
of
if
the
use
of
that
shed
will
will
be
continuous
with
how
it's
used
currently
in
terms
of
previous
applications
to
legalize
the
the
use
of
this
space
as
a
bachelor
dwelling
unit.
E
E
In
in
terms
of
the
the
comments
and
concerns
that
were
raised
in
regards
to
noise
that
may
result
from
construction,
the
impacts
of
construction
are
not
a
land
use,
planning
consideration
as
they're
short-term
in
nature
and
they're
required
in
order
to
provide
for
intensification
and
housing
goals
of
the
official
plan.
E
And
then
I
guess,
I
suppose,
in
terms
of
concerns
regarding
the
laundry
area
and
again,
the
provision
of
this
laundry
space
is
not
something
that
would
be
regulated
by
the
zoning
bylaw,
but
certainly
I
would
invite
the
applicant
to
respond
to
concerns
regarding
noise
generated
from
the
laundry
area
and
the
impacts
that
those
may
have
on
the
adjacent
new
unit
that
is
proposed.
F
Through
you,
mr
vice
chair,
I
think
megan
covered
a
lot
of
the
points
there,
but
I'm
happy
to
kind
of
go
through
my
list
here
and
hopefully
cover
off
any
outstanding
items.
So,
just
for
clarification,
the
parking
area
is
not
proposed
to
change,
so
no
parking
spaces
that
exist
today
will
be
lost.
The
purpose
of
this
minor
variance
was
purely
with
respect
to
the
new
unit
in
the
fact
that
additional
parking
cannot
be
added
to
the
property,
which
is
why
the
variance
is
just
for
the
new
battery
unit.
F
So
no
change
to
the
parking
has
exists
today.
With
respect
to
previous
approvals,
previous
use
of
the
space,
I
unfortunately
can't
comment
on
that.
I'm
here
representing
the
owners
of
the
building
today,
who
purchased
the
building
last
year,
and
they
are
very
much
looking
to
do
this.
The
correct
way
they're
here
with
the
variants
today,
they
retained
an
architect
to
design
the
changes
and
they
will
be
seeking
building
permits
so
with
respect
to
any
illegal
use
of
it,
I'm
not
sure,
but
certainly
moving
forward.
The
the
current
owners
are
looking
to
do
things.
F
Do
things
the
right
way
will
will
the
shed
be
lost?
No,
as
megan
pointed
out,
the
existing
shed,
that
is,
there
is
proposed
to
remain,
and
the
second
shed
is
proposed
to
be
constructed
to
the
side
of
that
in
the
rear
yard.
F
There's
some
comments
from
the
resident
of
unit
2
regarding
the
laundry
room.
It's
actually
that
floor
plan
that
was
shown
is
the
proposed.
Not
what
exists
today,
so
new
walls
will
be
constructed
and
it
will
actually
be
enclosed
within
a
new
room,
so
that
should
help
to
mitigate
some
of
the
noise
concerns
which
were
which
were
raised.
F
The
dual
benefit
of
that
as
well
is
it
will
create
a
clear
and
safe
access
from
a
five
perspective,
point
of
view
out
of
the
rear
of
the
building
as
well,
which
currently
does
not
exist,
and
that
was
suggested
and
by
the
architect
that
we
retained
and
again
building
permits
will
be,
will
be
gained
for
that,
and
I
think
megan
again
commented
on
the
quiet
enjoyment,
I'm
not
an
expert
on
the
residential
tenancy
act,
but
again
it's
any
construction
proposed
is
just
a
short
term
measure.
Thank
you.
C
Thanks
alex
that
seems
to
have
covered
it
all
so
now,
we'll
move
to
the
committee
for
a
motion.
C
Q
All
right,
I
was
having
connectivity
issues,
so
I
was
here
for
the
majority
of
that,
but
it's
the
first
part,
but
I
have
reviewed
the
material,
so
I
knew
all
about
it.
Thank
you.

In
order
to
facilitate
the
development,
the
applicant
is
seeking
a
variance
of
0.62
meters
to
decrease
the
minimum
side
yard
width
from
the
required
1.2
meters
to
0.58
meters.
It's
important
to
note
that
the
existing
single-family
dwelling
and
attached
garage
pre-dates
the
current
zone
regulations
and
was
originally
constructed
with
a
smaller
side
yard
width
on

west
side,
a
total
of
0.58

the
west
side
yard,
the
0.58
meters,
as
seen
in
the
red,
highlighted
box
on

will
effectively
permit
the
future
zone

development.
As
seen
through
the
attached

I
will
briefly
describe
the
proposed

to
construct
a
two-story
addition
to
the
rear
of
the
existing
single-family
dwelling
house
located
at
331
union
street.
R
The
addition
will
enhance
the
functionality
of
the
residential
building
through
interior
renovations
and
expansion
of
existing
living
spaces,
while
acting
as
a
reinvestment

that
would
be
observed
from
the

These
measures
were
taken
to
ensure
that

R
Please
so
the
proposed
development
will
assist
the
reconfiguration
and
renovation
of
the
existing
single
family
dwelling
house.
There
will
be
interior
renovations
to
the
first
floor,
which
include
the
expansion
of

area,
the
creation
of
an
office
and
den
area,
and
the
inclusion
of
a
laundry
room
and
a
mud
room.
Exterior
changes
have
been
proposed
through
the
installation
of
steps
and
deck
to
allow
for
ingress
and
egress
of
the
rear
yard
space
next
slide,
please.
R
The
second
floor
portion
of
the
addition
will
allow
for
the
expansion
of

and
inclusion
of
a
new
ensuite,
washroom

closet
to
accommodate
the
owners

comfortably.
Please
be
advised
that
the
report
notes
a
total
of
three
bedrooms
is
currently
existing
within
the
residential
dwelling.
However,
it
has
since
been
confirmed
that
there
are
total
of
four
on
the
subject
site.
R
It
is
important
to
note
that
there
will
be
no
increase
in
bedrooms
through
the
proposed
rear
addition
or
impact
to
the
application,
and
that
a

please,
with
respect
to
public
consultation.
Signs
were
posted
on
the

10
days
in

R
Nurses
were
sent

Today,
no

our
recommendation.
The
requested
variance
maintains
the
general
intent

purpose
of
the
official
plan
and
zoning
bylaw.
The
proposal
is
desirable
for
the
appropriate
development
or
use
of

and,
as
such,
the
proposed
application
meets
all
four
tests
under
the
planning
act.
R
Approval
of
this
application
will
recognize
the
existing
non-conforming
situation
and
prevent
future
zone
compliant
development
as
same
with
the
proposed
rear
two
story
edition.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time

that
concludes
my
presentation.
I
look

the
applicant
is
proposing
to
reduce
the
minimum
aggregate
side
yard
for
a
deck
which
sorry,
a
minimum
aggregate
side
yard
for
a
deck,
1.2
meters
above
finished,
grade
to
construct
a
new
fire
escape
along
the
western
wall
of
the
multiple
family
dwelling.
O
In
addition,
notices
were
sent
by
mail
to
a
total
number
of
57
property
owners
within
60
meter
radius
of
the
subject,
property
and
a
courtesy
notice
was
placed
in
the
kingston
wake
standard
next
slide.
Please,
the
property
is
located
in
a
residential,
neighborhood
and
abuts,
multiple
family
dwellings
to
the
north,
east
and
west
and
single-family
dwellings
to
the
south.
Next
slide
there
please,
the
subject:
property
is
developed
with
a
multiple
family
dwelling
containing
eight
residential
units.
With
a
total
of
11
bedrooms,
the
use
was
established
through
a
building.
O
Permit
prior
to
zoning
bylaw
number
8499
and
is
thus
a
permitted
use.
As
per
section
6.3
j
in
the
a
zone
in
bylaw
849.,
a
shared
easement
is
located
over
the
existing
driveway,
which
provides
access
to
rear
yard
parking
on
the
subject
site
and
for
nine
and
eleven
colborne
street
next
slide
there
please,
so
a
minor
variance
is
requested
from
section
5.8,
which
is
projections
into
yards.
This
provision
provides
setbacks
for
unenclosed,
porches,
decks,
balconies
steps
and
verandas
covered
or
uncovered
in
a
residential
zone.
This
would
actually
include
a
fire
escape.
O
In
this
case,
the
fire
escape
will
be
located
greater
than
1.2
meters
above
finished
grade
and
therefore
is
required
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
individual
zone.
The
subject
property
is
zone
one
and
two
family
dwelling
a
zone
which
requires
a
side
yard
of
0.6
meters
and
an
aggregate
side
yard,
which
is
the
sum
of
both
yards
of
3.32
meters
next
slide.
Please.
O
O
Where
are
we
here?
So
the
fire
escape
will
be
located,
1.4
meters
from
the
western
lot
line,
which
is
which
will
result
in
a
2.18
meter
aggregate
side,
yard
setback
from
the
closest
point
of
the
fire
escape
to
the
western
lot
line.
Relief
is
therefore
requested
to
reduce
the
minimum
aggregate
side
yard
requirement
from
3.32
to
2.18
meters,
which
is
a
reduction
of
1.14
meters,
and
that
is
to
construct
the
new
fire
escape
next
slide.
O
Please,
the
location
and
design
of
the
fire
escape
will
not
impede
continued
access
or
vehicle
movement
along
the
shared
driveway
to
access
the
rear.
Ear
parking,
as
the
2.39
meter
height
from
finished
grade
to
the
fire
escape,
will
allow
for
access
of
most
standard
vehicles
to
pass
clearly
underneath
as
a
condition
of
approval.
O
The
applicant
shall
install
signage,
informing
tenants
of
the
maximum
height
of
vehicles
permitted
to
enter
the
shared
driveway.
This
will
avoid
any
collision
of
any
vehicles
that
are
that
exceed
2.3
meters
and
cause
damage.
O
The
location
and
design
of
the
fire
escape
is
not
anticipated
to
have
any
negative
impacts
on
the
streetscape
or
the
character
of
the
neighborhood.
The
new
fire
escape
will
maintain
the
multiple
family
dwelling
use
and
will
serve
the
long-term
needs
and
safety
for
the
tenants
four
pieces
of.
Oh
sorry.
Next
slide
there
please.
O
Four
pieces
of
correspondence
have
been
received
by
the
public
through
the
public
notification
process.
Each
piece
of
correspondence
has
been
provided
to
the
applicant
and
to
the
committee
for
review
and
consideration
the
summary
of
the
concerns
or
the
fire
escape.
Is
this
a
fire
escape,
or
is
this
a
balcony?
The
concerns
that
have
been
brought
up
is
in
regards
to
the
width
of
the
fire
escape
where
it
shows
four
feet
in
one
portion
and
then
the
other
portion
is
six
feet.
O
The
concern
here
is
that
the
the
six
foot
section
would
or
could
be
used
as
a
balcony
and
not
just
as
a
fire
station.
O
Another
concern
is
why
widen
the
fire
escape
in
the
first
place?
I
will
leave
that
up
to
the
applicant
to
address,
and
there
are
some
concerns
in
regards
to
the
tenancy
of
the
proposed
structure
or
actually
of
the
structure
itself,
a
student
rental
or
an
airbnb.
We
cannot.
This
is
not
a
planning
matter
and
we
cannot
actually
address
tenancy
of
of
the
structure.
O
We
ensure
that
it
complies
with
the
permis
or
permitted
uses
of
of
the
zone
which
it
will
comply
with
the
permitted
uses
of
the
azone
and
the
lack
of
privacy
on
the
abutting
uses.
O
O
O
The
proposal
is
desirable
for
the
appropriate
development
or
use
of
the
land
building
or
structure,
and
the
requested
variants
is
minor
in
nature.
As
such,
the
proposed
application
meets
all
four
tests
under
subsection,
45
1
of
the
planning
act
and
the
application
is
being
recommended
for
approval,
subject
to
the
proposed
conditions.
O
Approval
of
this
application
will
result
in
a
the
construction
of
a
new
fire
escape
which
will
provide
means
of
egress
to
each
of
the
eight
dwelling
units
within
the
existing
multiple
family
dwelling,
while
maintaining
the
existing
rights
and
uses
of
the
easement
and
access
to
the
rear
gear
parking.
I
leave
this
in
your
hands
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
T
Hi,
my
name
is
ben
pilon
and
I'm
the
applicant
and
owner
141
hickson
avenue
kingston
ontario.
T
A
T
Sorry
it
was
for
well
like
yeah,
I
was
gonna
look
at
the
actual
pictures
we
submitted.
First.
A
B
A
B
T
U
You
I
have
to
say
thank
you
for
your
chair.
I
just
forwarded
the
images
to
mr
o'shea.
They
did
appear
in
my
junk
email
for
some
reason,
so
I
had
to
port
it
over
that
may
work.
That
may
have
been
where
it
ended
up
for
several
people,
so
just
bear
with
us
a
moment
and
maybe.
B
A
T
T
These
fire
escapes
you'll
see
different
sections
were
built
at
different
times:
they're,
tired,
different
materials
being
used,
so
we're
looking
to
do
is
just
take
it
all
down
and
put
up
a
whole
new
system.
The
if
you
look
at
the
stairs
that
are
on
the
north
side
of
the
property,
the
north
end,
which
is
the
right
side.
T
Looking
at
your
screen,
those
are
we,
we
have
the
ability
and
that's
we
wanted
to
meet
code
with
our
design
to
move
those
up
into
another
location,
which
is
an
option
for
us
right
now,
and
that
would
still
allow
the
minimum
code
around
the
stairs
to
to
access
them
from
both
sides.
So
there
was
code
implications
of
why
we
chose
this
width.
T
A
lot
of
the
comments
that
we've
seen
come
from
the
neighbors
that
are
worried
about
people
looking
down
on
their
property.
T
There
are
obviously
requirements
of
what
you
can
and
can't
have
on
a
fire
escape
one
two.
There
are
significant
bylaws
regarding
noise
and
disturbing
the
peace
it
even
tails
curtails
into
criminal
code
laws.
So
I
just
want
to
be
careful
that
we're
not
we're
not
going
too
far
down
the
what
ifs
with
it.
But
that
was
the
rationale
of
why
we,
the
fire
escape,
is
that,
with
its
building
code
requirement.
T
A
Yeah
I
see
that
okay,
thanks
for
that
clarification,
james,
you
had
something
further
to
add.
U
Yeah,
thank
you
through
your
chair.
I've
gotten
confirmation
from
mr
o'shea
that
the
images
that
mr
pilon
sent
in
are
ready
to
be
reviewed,
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
them.
Thank.
T
If
you
look
the
furthest
down
to
the
part
of
the
fire
escape
it
overhangs
the
right
away
as
it
is
we'd,
be
eliminating
those
buttresses
that
you
can
see
coming
down,
creating
a
larger
opening
below
we'd,
be
candidly
variant
from
the
inside
out
and
we'd,
be
tying
it
all
together,
replacing
the
various
materials
and
the
various
ages
of
it,
and
in
doing
so
we
were
basically
breaking
the
entire
side
with
clay
brick
to
and
adding
the
fire
escape
to
add.
T
Hopefully
it
has
another
150
years
worth
of
life
in
the
building.
Okay,
good,
I
think
there's
a
few
others
in
case
you
wanted
other
perspectives.
I
don't
know
yeah,
that's
basically,
where
we're
gonna
see
the
overhang
there
yeah.
A
V
V
However,
the
width
of
the
proposed
structure
is,
as
has
been
noted,
is
about
1.8
meters
over
most
of
its
length
that
I
figure
that's
about
45
feet
of
the
overall
66
feet
more
or
less
and
tim
kindly
confirmed
for
me
that
the
required
width
of
the
fire
escape
is
0.9
meters
and
since
a
permit's
been
issued
for
the
ongoing
renovations.
V
V
The
depth
of
the
proposed
structure
is
significant
as
because
at
six
feet
this
becomes
a
social
space
at
six
feet.
Furniture
such
as
tables
and
chairs
could
legally
occupy
the
half
of
the
proposed
structure,
not
required
for
an
exit,
and
so
I
feel
that
by
definition,
what's
being
proposed,
is
a
1.8
meter
wide
balcony.
V
I
must
admit
that
I
initially
didn't
pay
a
lot
of
attention
to
the
notice
of
the
application
seeking
to
construct
a
new
fire
escape,
but
a
45
foot
wide
or
long
rather
balcony
that
will
expand
a
non-conforming
use,
has
the
potential
to
affect
both
my
family's
enjoyment
of
our
property
and
our
neighbors
as
well,
and
I'm
not
sure
that
everyone
who
should
appreciate
this
does
if
they
think
that
it's
only
a
fire
escape
being
proposed,
and
so
it's
for
these
reasons
that
I
would
ask
that
the
application
not
be
approved.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
thanks
for
that,
all
right,
we
have
also
recognized
david
mcdonald.
I
see
your
hand
up.
Could
you
please
state
your
full
name
and
address
for
the
record.
S
David
mcdonald,
15
coburn
street
just
want
to
note
that,
of
course,
nobody's
opposed
to
a
fire.
Escape
safety
is
paramount
here.
Nor
are
we
opposed
to
the
renovation.
I
think
they've
been
doing
a
wonderful
job
and
you
know
there's
been
no
complaints
despite
constant
construction
of
the
site.
So
it's
not
it's
not
the
renovation
per
se
that
we're
opposed
to.
S
It
really
is
what
is
a
de
facto
deck,
and
I
noticed
actually
the
words
fire
escape
were
only
used
in
the
application,
but
in
today's
agenda
it
refers
to
it
as
as
a
deck.
S
So
the
the
obvious
question
to
me
is:
why
would
you
need
a
bigger
wider
fire
escape
plus
the
massive
extension
to
45
feet
in
in
length
from
the
current
two
small
sections?
S
So
it's
it
is
effectively
a
balcony
and
at
six
feet
in
depth
in
places
it.
You
know
it
will
be
impossible
not
to
use
it
as
a
balcony.
We've
lived
here
for
22
years.
The
again
the
renovations
were
really
happy
to
see.
It
was
a
pretty
dumpy
place
before
and
I
think
bp
is
doing
a
really
nice
job
and
we're
generally
happy
with
the
with
the
work
they
own,
every
single
house
across
the
street,
from
the
block
on
us.
S
I
should
I
should
highlight
as
well,
and
but
this
really
is
transformative
and
and
over
the
22
years
we've
been
here,
there
have
been
periods
of
people
using
those
fire
escapes
on
a
regular
basis
as
a
balcony.
S
And
yes,
of
course,
we
have
noise
by
those,
but
you
know
who
wants
to
be
constantly
causing
calling
people
these
these?
These
protrude
out
they're
a
second
story,
construction,
and
I
should
note
we
have
a
large
sort
of
courtyard
of
homes
in
the
back
here-
probably
30,
homes,
which
are
directly
affected
by
the
noise,
all
of
butcher,
stone
and
brick,
and
it's
a
really
echoey
kind
of
sound
here.
So
you
know
any
kind
of
noise,
particularly
something
at
a
second
story
level.
W
S
Bounces
around
in
in
this
area,
I
should
note
as
well
that
the
the
applicant
did
take
out
five
or
six
mature
maple
trees
when
they
first
bought
the
property
which
really
transformed
both
the
look
of
the
place
and
also
the
sound
and
the
way
travel
that
sound
will
travel.
So
it's
it
really
is
a
transformative
thing
and
we
have
no
problem
with
a
safe
fire
escape
absolutely
no
problem.
Of
course
we
need
that
this
is
a
de
facto
deck.
A
Thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
the
chair
now
recognizes
lorraine
segen,
please
state
your
full
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
M
Hi,
my
name
is
lorraine,
sigue,
I'm
the
current
owner
of
11
colburn
street,
so
I
have
lived
in
this
house
since
my
father
bought
it
in
1991
and
I've
been
the
owner
for
12
years.
So
that's
31
years
in
this
neighborhood,
I'm
also
very
happy
to
see
a
lot
of
changes
happening
at
not
at
seven
colburn
street.
We
it's
a
right
of
way
for
me
that
I
use
every
day
to
go
to
work.
M
Construction
has
been
a
major
issue
for
me
due
to
work
buildings
being
continuously
parked
in
that
laneway,
where
I
have
to
honk
my
horn
to
be
able
to
get
out
it's
a
very
narrow,
laneway
I've.
My
car's
been
damaged
this
year
due
to
equipment
being
left
where
I
was
unable
to
safely
pass.
It
hasn't
been
maintained
with
dirt
or
sand
or
salt.
So
all
of
this
is
very
frustrating
for
me.
M
I
haven't
actually
noticed
much
sound
on
the
balconies
until
the
pandemic,
when
one
tenant
used
the
fire
escape
for
all
of
their
plants
and
would
hold
major
conversations
out
there
and
when
tenants,
three
doors
down
four
doors
down
can
hear
that
it's
you
know
quite
annoying.
If
it's
going
to
be
1.8
meters,
there's
definitely
going
to
be
furniture,
compost,
bins,
recycling
bins,
which
has
happened
in
the
past
and
that
increases
rodents
raccoons
using
just
being
around
that
neighborhood.
F
M
So
I
don't
agree
that
it's
desirable
for
many
of
for
this
area
34.
I
don't
know
how
the
distance
once
david
had
it
all
down
in
his
numbers
correctly,
but
it's
it's
not
going
to
be.
I
don't
think
it's
a
fire
escape
anymore.
It
is
definitely
going
to
be
a
deck
to
increase
the
amount
of
outdoor
space
used
for
the
tenants
there
to
increase
the
rent.
It's
not
for
safety.
There's
plenty
of
safety,
as
is
it
all,
looks
like
black
steel.
M
To
me
sure,
there's
the
you
know
slightly
different
colored
metal
that
uses
to
support
it,
but
I
really
think
this
is
a
sneaky
way
of
trying
to
get
a
deck
on
your
building
to
increase
your
rent
values.
I've
also
heard
of
plans
to
do
pavers
down
the
laneway
and
the
last
building.
He
did
that
in
he
put
in
private
yards
for
all
of
the
tenants
and
there
was
no
parking
or
there's
one
parking
spot
on
that
building
on
sydnem
street.
M
So
that's
something
I
have
my
eye
on
right,
because
this
is
I
sent
in
photos
of
the
view
of
that
fire
escape
from
my
backyard.
So
the
tenants
that
lived
there
there
was
a
musician
who
lived
in
that
building
for
over
10
years.
His
apartment
overlooks
my
backyard,
but
that
was
never
an
issue
because
he
didn't
use
the
fire
escape
as
a
deck
right.
So
if
that
fire
escape
is
used
as
a
deck,
it
has
direct
eye
lines
into
not
only
my
yard
but
into
the
yard
of
nine.
M
Her
yard
will
be
then
she'll
be
able
to
step
out
her
back
door
and
her
head.
Will,
you
know,
be
a
meter
not
even
a
meter
away,
it'll
be
a
foot
away
from
where
this
fire
escape
is
proposed,
so
it
does
give
a
major
lack
of
privacy
to
the
residents
right
now,
there's
only
one
person
in
each
of
our
houses.
So
it's
not
a
huge
issue,
but
we
do
like
to
use
our
backyard
space
and
I
believe
this
will
take
away
from
that.
M
A
Much
okay
thanks
very
much
all
right
and
the
chair
now
recognizes
recognizes
tony
sheeb
tony,
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
J

The
existing
structure
is
two
separate
pieces
which
has
a
much
smaller
square
footage
versus
the
combined
one
piece
that
connects
from
front
to
back
of
the
fire
escape,
which
adds
considerably
to
the
potential
for
people
to
be
on
that
on
that
structure.
Otherwise,
so
the
square
footage
increase
is
something
to
consider
for
both
for
all
of
us,
with
that
being
a
right
of
way,
understood
that
the
height
is
considerable,
but
this
is
the
only
way
that
we
can
get
into
the
backs
of
our
houses.
J
J
Next
to
that
right-of-way
and
beyond
the
the
uses
of
balcony,
there
have
been
challenges
with
noises
noise
from
those
units
in
the
past,
just
through
the
windows.
So
that's
without
there
even
being
people
outside
so
add
the
potential
for
people
to
be
outside
or
have
the
windows
open.
It
is
a
bit
of
a
challenge
for
our
privacy
and
and
sort
of
intrusion
on.
J
J
J
A
You
thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
do
we
have
any
other
members
of
the
public
this
evening
with
us
who
wish
to
speak
to
the
application
for
seven
colborne
street?
Please
raise
your
virtual
hand
and
zoom
I'll
call
one.
Last
and
final
time
is
anybody
with
us
this
evening
wishing
to
speak
to
the
application
for
seven
colborne
street.
Please
raise
your
virtual
hand
and
zoom.
A
O
Yes,
through
there,
mr
chair,
I
can
confirm
that
the
difference
between
the
the
existing
fire
escape
and
the
new
fire
escape
would
be
approximately
two
feet.
Difference
there.
So
it'll
be
two
feet
to
be
projecting
two
feet
more
into
the
right-of-way.
A
It
projects,
but
does
the
height
change
like
does
the
what's
the
existing?
I
guess
height
of
the
that,
what's
the
maximum
height
of
a
vehicle
that
can
pass
through
currently
versus
what
will
happen
under
proposed.
So.
O
The
current
and
the
proposed
would
be
approximately
the
same,
and
I
believe
in
the
report
it
says
2.3.
I
believe
it
is
yeah
2.39
meters
in
height,
that's.
A
What
it
is
currently
yes,
and
what
will
it
be
underproposed?
It
would
be
approximately
the
same
height.
Oh
okay,
all
right,
I
see
your
hand
is
raised
to
blame.
X
Just
a
quick
question:
can
they
confirm
the
information
that
the
the
second
public
input
person?
I
believe
it
was
sam
when
he
was
saying
that
he
confirmed
some
sizes
and
details?
Can
anybody
right,
I
guess
through
you
ask
staff
is,
are
those
is
that
information,
correct
or.
A
Can
we
use
that
so
the
information
that
was
that
was
specified
was
the
minimum
width
for
a
fire
escape
would
be
0.9
meters,
and
the
question
was:
why
is
it
bumped
up
to
1.8
meters
which
wide
which
makes
it
effectively
a
balcony?
Okay,.
O
Well,
I
can,
I
can
speak
in
regards
to
the
the
minimum
size,
so
mr
laffin
did
contact
me
and
we
had
a
discussion
about
the
minimum
size
requirement
and,
after
speaking
to
one
of
the
building
officials
here
with
the
city,
they
did
confirm
that
a
a
fire
escape
minimum
width
for
this
type
of
building
would
be
0.9
meters,
which
is
approximately
three
feet
in
width
and
that's
from
the
wall
of
the
structure
to
the
inside
edge
of
the
railing.
O
O
T
Okay,
which
is
how
we
got
to
the
size
that
we
did,
is
if
you
have
your
stair
in
the
middle,
where
we
can
move
it
to,
and
you
want
to
get
around
your
stair,
you
have
to
have
the
same
matching
width,
so
it
equals
1.8
meters,
which
is
the
six
feet
that
we
got
to
to
keep
our
minimum
requirement
for
the
building
code.
X
Okay,
so,
and
then,
if
I
can
just
step
back
a
little
bit
more,
then
if
you
hear
the
comments
and
concerns
that
people
feel
that
this
is
being
turned
into
a
balcony,
is
there
another?
Is
there
another
method
or
is
there
anything
else
that
you
could
do
to
again
alleviate
maybe
doubling
the
size
so
that
their
concerns
could
be
addressed?
That
way,
can
we
put
up.
T
The
the
drawing
that
I
submitted
this
afternoon,
so
I
really
I
it
was
actually
the
residence
that
triggered
us
to
do
the
drawing
here
and
I
really
think
we're
not
paying
attention
the
bigger
picture.
The
proposed
deck
that
we
can
put
on.
There
is
significantly
larger.
That's
where
you
have
tables
you're
gonna
you
can.
You
can
host
a
lot
of
people
in
30
square
meters?
Yes,
that
is
legally
as
of
right.
We
are
permitted
to
build
a
30
square
meter
deck
a
second
story
all
along
the.
T
I
don't
want
to
get
ahead
of
the
fact
that
we
can
we've
got
the
room
to
put
a
deck.
If
we
really
did
want
a
deck,
that's
not
our
intention
here
and
there
they
will
have
to
meet
the
fire
regulations
to
ensure
that
there
is
nothing
that
impedes
people
from
escaping
that
way.
A
That's
my
comment
all
right.
Thanks
for
that
greg,
you
had
a
comment.
H
Yeah
through
you,
mr
chair,
just
says
just
a
quick
comment.
It
says
non-combustible
fire
escape,
do
we
know
like?
Is
it
going
to
be
metal?
What's
it
going
to
be?
Does
it
has
that
decision
really
been
made?
Yet
it's
just
like
if
you're
going
to
remove
steel,
that's
already
non-combustible.
That
seems
to
be
functioning
pretty
well,
I
just
kind
of
see
where
it
just
says:
non-combustible.
It
doesn't
really
say
what
it's
going
to
be
composed
of.
H
T
T
T
A
Okay,
all
right,
there
was
one
other
comment
that
was
raised
by
lorraine,
segay,
that
I
don't
know
it
kind
of
goes
back
to
the
whole
issue
of
the
deck
or
classification
of
it
as
a
deck
versus
a
fire
escape
it.
She
feels
that
it
would
be
a
deck
that
would
increase
the
outdoor
space
for
tenants,
although
it's
being
packaged
as
a
fire
escape
is.
Can
you
comment
on
that.
T
Well,
I
can
tell
you
that
I'm
never
against
creating
more
outdoor
space
for
tenants.
I
think
it's
something
we
should
be
doing
actively
in
the
city
and
that
we
do
on
every
one
of
our
buildings
in
this
building.
Here
we've
considered
rooftop
space
but,
as
I
said,
if
we
do
want
to
focus
on
more
outdoor
space,
we'd
be
looking
at
the
legal
deck
that
we
could
be
building
at
the
rear.
For
this,
it's
just
practical
space.
It's
a
nice
straight
linear
line
it
functions.
T
G
A
Okay,
any
other-
I
I'm
just
wondering
so
tim
were
there
any
other
comments
that
you
picked
up
on
that
weren't
already
addressed
in
the
in
the
pre-presentation
or
our
subsequent
discussion.
A
O
Don't
believe
so,
I
believe
they
have
been
addressed
unless
any
committee
member
wants
to
bring
anything
forward.
Okay,.
X
Yeah
there
was
a
comment
about
the
materials
used
for
the
driveway
does.
Can
we
does
that
impact
anything?
I'm
I
mean
they're,
saying
interlock
or
whatever
on
a
driveway.
I
I
personally
don't
know,
can
they
can
they
use
a
another
type
of
material
for
a
driveway?
If
it's
a
evident
access
or
an
easement.
A
T
Sorry,
yeah
we've
done
interlock
on
most
of
the
homes
around
there
and
we
use
them
for
parking
spaces.
I'm
not
sure
the
relevance
we
just
prefer
to
use
interlock
versus
pave.
That's
the
first
thing.
The
second
thing.
If
we
could
pull
up
the
survey
of
the
that
we
showed
earlier,
none
of
our
our
work
trucks
can
actually
fit
down
the
right
away.
T
It's
well,
it's
it's
quite
a
tight
turning
radius
for
cars,
especially
at
the
end,
even
a
single
regular
vehicle,
wouldn't
be
able
to
make
that
that
turn.
But
we
like
we
all
kind
of
work
together,
which
is
why
these
comments
kind
of
took
me
by
surprise
today,
because
I
haven't
heard
anything
about
this
until
this
point.
T
It's
a
nine
foot
right
away
and
I
can
guarantee
on
a
45
degree
angle,
unless
you
drive
a
motorcycle
you're,
not
getting
back
there
regarding
the
interlock,
that's
just
what
we
do
for
pavers
and
we're
actually
by
removing
the
buttresses,
we
would
actually
raise
the
height
of
any
vehicles
that
could
go
down
there
by
no
longer
having
those.
U
Yeah,
thank
you
for
you
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
the
materiality
of
the
paved
surface
of
the
drive
aisle
is
not
a
matter
that
planning
is
considering
at
this
time.
It's
not
part
of
the
application,
nor
is
it
part
of
any
future
application,
so
the
materiality
of
that
driveway
would
be
a
private
matter
between
landowners,
in
conjunction
with
whatever
stipulations
are
spelled
out
in
the
event
agreements.
Okay,.
A
Great
thanks
for
that.
Okay,
any
other
questions
for
that
sent
from
the
the
public
comments.
No
okay.
So
I
guess
we'll
move
back
to
the
committee
and
ask
the
committee
to
all
first
of
all
for
a
motion
so
moved
by.
A
Anybody
no
discussion
point
okay,
somnath.
I
Yes,
I
do
sense
that
there
is
a
strong
pushback
and
feedback
from
the
surrounding
property
owners
on
this,
and
the
day
fact
to
what
they
are
basically
pointing
out
is
that
it
would
appear
that,
yes,
it
is
a
forest,
a
fire
escape,
but
it
tends
to
get
out
of
hand
and
it
will
be
used
as
a
deck
leading
to
a
loss
of
privacy
and
things
of
that
nature.
I
So
yeah,
that's
been
the
big
thing
playing
in
my
consideration
going
forward
here.
That's
all
I.
H
Yeah
through
you,
mr
chair,
I
just
want
to
say
any
edition
order.
New
deck
fire
escape
amenity
added
onto
a
building
can
attract
very
likable,
affable
kind,
attractive,
quiet,
tenants
and
people
to
live
in
in
the
buildings
they're
attached
to
so
I
figured
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that.
Okay.
A
And
I
would
probably
just
add
to
that,
certainly
for
the
properties
that
I
bought
and
have
fixed
up
significantly
nicer
than
what
I
purchased.
I
never
in
15
years
of
you
know:
property
management,
rentals,
I've
never
attracted
tenants
that
have
been
rowdy
or
quiet.
I've
never
had
complaints
from
about
my
tenants,
because
the
type
of
tenants
I
attract
generally
are
paying
a
higher
rent
than
you
know,
then,
perhaps
the
people
that
were
paying
at
seven
colborne
street
before
mr
pilot
took
it
over
to
renovate
it.
A
A
So
one
two
we've
got
three
in
favor
opposed
one,
two,
three
opposed
so
that.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
all
in
favor
raise
your
physical
hand,
so
peter
and
greg,
oh
okay,
so
two
in
favor
and
opposed
three
opposed,
so
the
emotions
defeated
so
peter
and
greg
in
favor,
and
we
have
paul
somnath
and
blaine
to
the
opposition.
Okay,
all
right!
Sorry
for
that,
so
we'll
move
on
to
the
next!
A
D
W
Thank
you,
hello,
everybody
and
through
mr
chair.
This
is
an
application
for
permission
and
minor
variants
for
the
property
at
64
john
street.
W
The
applicant
is
proposing
to
expand
and
construct
a
second
story
over
an
existing
single
story,
mud
room
and
to
reconstruct
an
existing
deck
in
the
same
size,
but
in
a
different
configuration
on
the
lot
next
slide.
Please,
the
property
is
located
at
the
corner
of
john
street
and
patrick
street
in
the
inner
harbor
neighborhood,
the
property
is
designated
residential
in
the
official
plan
and
located
in
the
one
and
two
family
a
zone
in
bylaw
8499.
W
W
W
W
The
maximum
floor
space
index
is
determined
by
the
size
of
the
lot,
which
is
205
square
meters.
The
second
is
for
lot
coverage,
which
already
exceeds
the
requirement.
The
applicant
proposes
a
lot
coverage
of
48.8
percent,
while
the
maximum
is
set
at
33.3
percent.
W
The
last
variance
is
related
to
the
required
building
depth,
which
the
dwelling
also
already
exceeds.
The
applicant
proposes
a
depth
of
16.44
meters,
which
is
almost
2
meters
beyond
the
requirement
of
14.45
meters.
W
I
just
want
to
note
that
the
requirement
is
determined
by
calculating
the
average
between
the
two
neighboring
properties
in
this
case,
because
the
subject
property
is
a
corner
lot.
The
calculation
is
based
on
60
john
street
and
55
patrick
street
next
slide.
Please
here
you
can
see
the
existing
site.
Along
with
the
proposed
edition.
I
have
edited
the
drawing
to
highlight
the
existing
and
proposed
deck
in
green
and
the
existing
mudroom
and
proposed
edition
in
red.
W
W
W
W
The
proposed
development
is
desirable
for
the
appropriate
development
and
use
of
the
land,
and
the
requested
variances
are
minor
in
nature.
The
proposal
will
not
result
in
undue
adverse
impacts
on
the
surrounding
properties.
Neighborhood.
Approval
of
this
application
will
enable
the
minor
expansion
of
the
single
unit
dwelling
and
the
reconstruction
of
an
old
deck.
I'm
happy
to
respond
to
any
questions
from
the
committee
or
the
public.
Thank
you.
A
P
Hi
there
my
name
is
mason
costa.
Can
you

me?
Okay,
yes,

Okay.
My

A
Y
Oh
yes,

I'm
just

lives.
There.
E
A
A
I
don't
have
any
and
I
see
a
bunch
of
head
shaking
no
so
I'll
open
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting.
Do
we
have
any
members
of
the
public
with
us
this
evening
wishing
to
speak
to
the
application
for
64
john
street?
Please
raise
your
virtual

and
zoom.
Actually,
the
only
attendee
in
the
public
gallery
is
allison,
so
I'll
call
one
last
final
time.
X
Question
quick
question:
how
did
the
wording
mudroom
edition
come
up?
I
it's
just
that
I
didn't.
I
missed
the
fact
that
it
was
a
two
story,
so
I
just
I
wondered
why
it
was
called
the
mud
room.
That's
all.
A
Yeah,
it's
valid,
I
don't
know
ricardo
or
mason.
Do
you
want
to
address
that.
A
P
The
existing
structure
off
the
back
of
the
house
is
currently
a
mud
room
and
it's
it's
not
insulated
and
cold.
So
as
part
of
adding
the
room
upstairs
to
the
house,
the
mudroom
and
there's
also
no
bathroom
on
the
main
level
of
the
home
as
well.
P
So
we're
just
going
to
put
a
bathroom
in
there
relocate
the
relocate,
the
washer
and
dryer,
which
is
actually
very
inconveniently,
stuck
at
the
top
of
a
stairwell
landing
and
with
with
the
addition
of
the
bathroom
and
the
laundry
and
wash
tub,
it
does
add
a
little
bit
of
space,
but
it
would
still
function
as
a
mud,
room.
X
Blaine
again
so,
when
we
go
to
do
this,
can
we
split
this
up
into
the
four
different
requests,
for
I
guess
approvals.
The
reason
why
I'm
saying
this,
I
I
really
don't
have
a
problem
with
it.
I
think
it's
it's
fine.
I
I
just.
X
I
just
have
a
real
concern
about
the
first
one,
that's
quite
a
quite
an
allowance
that
we're
going
to
be
offering
so
I'm
just
I'm
I'm
a
little
leery
on
putting
them
all
together.
That's
all.
X
Under
a
bit
more
yeah,
just
under
the
on
the
first,
I
guess
first
we're
taking
it.
Can
we
divide
it
into
the
four
variances,
because
you're
asking
for
number
one
was
asking
to
propose
under
reg
three
five,
sorry,
I
I
don't
have
it
printed
out.
So
I.
A
A
I'm
just
I'm
just
making
a
note.
That's
your
point.
I
don't
think
I
certainly
don't
have
a
problem.
The
other
committee
members
are
amenable
to
moving
making
it
into
for
emotions.
Derek.
Do
you
want
to
comment
on
that
as
far
as
what
our
procedure
would
be.
X
Or
I
guess
sorry-
and
I
should
step
back
on
that-
one
too
is
if
that's
the
case,
if,
if
not,
I'm
that
I'm
I'm
assuming
that
that's
going
to
create
a
huge
problem
in
design,
so
you
know
what
maybe
I'll
pull
it
back
and
just
leave
it
don't
disregard
what
I
was
motioning
on.
Okay,.
U
Yeah,
just
a
point
of
clarification:
do
you
chair
to
a
member
fudge?
Just
if
you
look
at
I'm
just
trying
to
find
the
image
reference
here?
Exhibit
g
for
this
application?
On
the
right
hand,
side
is
the
proposed.
You
can
also
see
this
reflected
in
the
left
hand,
side,
which
is
the
existing
there's,
an
existing
covered
porch
already
at
0.35
of
a
meter.
U
X
A
B
Mr
chair,
yes,
my
apologies,
but
with
the
business
item
8c,
where
there
was
the
denial
of
the
application.
I
forgot
to
interject
that
the
committee
is
required
to
pass
a
motion
outlining
the
reasons
for
the
denial.
So
my
apologies
that
we
did
not
deal
with
that
sooner.
But
perhaps
the
committee
would
be
willing
to
consider
that
now
to
to
come
up
with
the
the
rough
wording
and
then
pass
a
motion
for
the
reason
of
the
denial.
A
Is
this?
According
to
the
four,
the
four
tests.
B
A
Okay,
can
you
put
us
in
a
breakout
room.
B
Unfortunately,
I
cannot.
The
meeting
does
need
to
happen
publicly
as
well
as
this
discussion,
so
I
know
it's
awkward
to
have
to
do
this
over
zoom.
But
if
the
committee
can
have
some
sort
of
general
discussion
about
this,
I
can
create
some
wording
and
then
put
that
on
the
screen.
I
B
An
example
of
a
previous
one
that
happened
where
it
was
just
an
explanation
about
you
know
what
the
the
issue
was
with
the
variants
and
then
why
it
was
not
desirable
from
a
land
use
perspective
right.
A
Yeah,
okay,
just
bear
with
me
for
one
minute:
okay,
so
committee
members
who
voted
not
in
favor
did
you
want
to
start?
Maybe
with
your
rationale.
So
I
know
we'll
start
with
somnath.
I
And
which
would
then
obviously
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
privacy
and
the
seclusion
of
all
the
neighbors
updating
that
property
on
that
side
of
the
house
from
being
up
a
means
of
transiting,
it
becomes
a
means
for
just
hanging
out.
That's
my
point.
I
X
So
that's
why
I
made
the
question:
is
there
a
way
of
of
of
narrowing
it,
and
I
totally
understand
his
his
under
the
the
applicant's
explanation
of
of
turn
around,
but
again
I
I
I
do
have
concerns
that
it's
going
to
become
more
of
a
dac
situation
than
a
fire
escape
and
that
we're
going
to
be
impeding
other
residents
that
need
that
right
away
to
to
access
their
properties.
X
Like
you're
you're
impacting
you're,
impacting
not
just
this
like
this
building,
but
you're
also
going
to
be
impacting
the
people
that
have
that
right
away.
So
that's
that's
where
I
have
a
bit
of
a
problem
and
the
fact
that
existing
match
meets
code,
and-
and
I
understand
you
want
to
make
it
look
nice
and
everything.
But
when
you
double
the
size
of
it,
it's
definitely
going
to
turn
into
a
more
of
a
balcony
situation.
A
Right
existing
meets
code,
so
if
it
meets
code
yeah,
I
I
guess,
there's
yeah,
okay,
good.
I.
G
Sure
it's
actually
very
similar
to
the
other
two
members,
but
specifically
the
the
fire
escape,
will
not
have
any
impacts
on
the
streetscape
or
the
character
of
the
neighborhood.
G
We
heard
from
the
neighbors
that
it
if
it
is
a
deck
given
its
size
and
its
potential
use
that
it
will
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
neighborhood.
So
it's
clearly
and
there's
also
this:
is
it
a
fire
escape
or
is
it
a
deck?
G
We
see
in
the
headings
from
the
staff
report
that
is
viewed
as
a
deck
right
and
also
viewed
as
a
fire
escape
and
the
fact
that
the
applicant
said
well,
you
know,
if
you
don't
approve
this,
we
could
always
go
ahead
and
build
a
larger
deck
to
code
in
a
different
spot.
Well
that
actually
that
wasn't!
The
argument
at
all
the
argument
here
is
is:
will
we
agree
with
this
variance
right?
Okay,
I
don't
for
a
fire
escape
and
I
don't
think
the
the
the
test
was
met
for
a
fire
escape.
A
Right-
and
I
I
recall
in
my
committee
of
adjustment,
training
and
years
gone
by
that
that,
for
a
variance
to
be
considered,
variants
should
be
viewed
as
something
to
mitigate
a
hardship
which,
if
you
have
an
existing
fire
escape,
then
there
is,
I
guess,
not
much
of
a
need
to
expand
it,
but
I
I
voted
in
favor.
So
that's
not
no,
I'm
not
putting
that
out
as
a
rationale.
Derek
does
that
put
that
in
a
format
that
satisfies
your
criteria.
A
B
Would
ask
for
mr
chair
is
a
brief,
three-minute
recess
so
that
I
can
format
this
into
a
motion
that
I
can
then
share
on
the
screen
and
have
the
committee
either
tweak
and
then
vote
upon.
So
the
meeting
host
will
be
able
to
put
up
a
slide
stating
that
we're
in
recess-
and
I
would
say
we
if
we
come
back
by
7
17.
I
B
B
X
Just
a
question
is:
should
we
put
anything
in
there
about
seeing
impeding
access
to
the
right-of-way
due
to
the
new
width?
Just
the
point
of
concern.
A
I
I
would
restrict
the
argument
to
just
doubling
of
the
width,
because
that
keeps
it
more
on
a
sort
of
a
numerical,
fact-based
stuff,
the
I
I
acknowledge
what
blaine
has
mentioned,
but
I
think
tim
did
mention
that
2.39
was
the
height
and
that
will
approximately
remain
the
same
2.39
meters
and
yes,
we
yeah.
B
B
A
So
I'm
looking
for
somebody
to
move
okay,
so
so
move
specifically
the
emotion
that
derek
has
written
up
so
moved
by
paul
and
seconded
by
somnath.
A
B
A
Carries
this
present?
Okay,
good
thanks
for
that
everybody
all
right.
So
we
have
no
motions
agenda
item
number,
10,
no
notices
of
motions,
no
other
business.
We've
got
no
correspondence
and
the
date
of
the
next
meeting
is
in
three
weeks
people
april
11th,
so
yeah
at
5
30
p.m.
So
now
I'm
looking
for
a
motion
to
adjourn
move
by
somnath
seconded
by
blaine,
all
in
favor
raise
your
physical
hands
and
that's
unanimously
carried.
So
the
meeting
is
adjourned
at
7
22
pm
thanks
everybody
see
you
in
three
weeks.
