A
All
right
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
we'll
start
here
so
good
evening.
Everybody
and
welcome
to
our
virtual
committee
of
adjustment
meeting
now
on
your
screen,
you're
going
to
see
members
of
our
committee
of
adjustment
and
staff
and
behind
the
scenes
we
have
many
staff
members
with
us
this
evening
who
have
worked
hard
to
make
this
this
evening's
meeting
possible.
A
Our
secretary
treasurer
is
lindsay
staman
and
our
clerk
is
derek
o'shea
and
together,
the
two
of
them
are
running
the
zoom
platform
from
behind
the
scenes,
so
you'll
be
hearing
them
chime
in
from
time
to
time,
although
you
might
not
necessarily
see
them
now.
The
agenda
and
the
schedules
for
the
meeting
have
been
posted
on
dash
on
the
city's
website.
So
if
you
don't
have
those
documents
and
you'd
like
to
follow
along,
please
feel
free
to
access
them
now.
A
Now,
if
you
do
have
a
question
or
if
you
wish
to
make
a
comment,
please
don't
expect
an
immediate
response,
because
it's
during
this
portion
of
the
meeting
where
we
physically
record
your
questions
and
comments.
That's
only
after
I
close
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting.
Will
the
questions
and
comments
be
addressed
by
the
applicant,
their
agent
or
staff,
and
then
we
go
back
to
the
applicant
or
or
their
agent
or
staff
members
to
address
the
public
concerns,
after
which
we
turn
to
the
committee.
I'll
ask
them
to
make
a
motion.
A
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
we'll
confirm
that
there
is
quorum.
We
do
have
regrets
this
evening
from
committee
members,
paul
babin,
blaine
fudge
and
jordan
technos
levy
and
greg
lightfoot
is
also
not
has
yet
to
join
us
from
staff.
This
evening
we
have
in
attendance,
james
barr,
the
manager
of
development
approvals,
lindsey
staman,
intermediate
planner
and
secretary
treasurer
of
the
committee
of
adjustment,
ricardo,
peggy,
planner,
inky,
kim
planner,
and
julia
jansman
is
our
meeting
host
tonight.
A
A
And
any
discussion,
so
all
in
favor
raise
your
physical
hand
and
that's
unanimously
carried.
Thank
you
very
much
and
now
we're
looking
for
a
confirmation
for
for
the
minutes
from
the
march
21st
meeting,
I
think
we've
all
received
those
we've
had
an
opportunity
to
review
them.
So
can
I
call
for
a
motion
to
approve
them
so
moved
by
vincent
and
seconded
by
somnath.
A
A
I
actually
do
have
one
it's
on
the
fourth
item
for
1771
unity,
road,
I'm
working
with
the
applicant
on
another
project,
so
I'll
be
declaring
a
pecuniary
interest
and
turning
the
chair
over
to
vincent.
At
that
time
there
are
no
delegations
and
we
have
no
requests
for
deferrals.
Nor
do
we
have
any
referring
or
returning
deferred
items.
So
the
first
piece
of
new
business
we
have
is
actually
file
number
for
2418
cole
hill
road
in
1589
unity.
Road,
so
lindsay
can
I
have
you
read
this
into
the
record.
Please.
D
F
They
are
located
on
the
east
side
of
kohiro
road
and
south
side
of
unity
road
and
are
situated
within
a
rural
residential
area
known
as
glen
they're,
both
currently
developed
with
a
single
detached
family
dwelling,
which
won't
be
affected
by
the
applications
in
front
of
us
today.
Next
slide,
please.
F
D
F
Currently,
0.2
hectares
in
size,
with
50
meters
of
frontage
onto
unity,
road
both
lots
are
currently
under
size
compared
to
other
newly
created
lots
in
helmet,
designation
and
especially
the
lot
edition
will
improve
the
very
undersized
benefiting
lot
at
1589
unity.
Road
next
slide
next
slide,
please.
F
F
F
The
intention
of
section
5.13.c
is
to
prevent
the
construction
of
more
than
one
dwelling
house
on
individual
loss
within
multiple
zones,
so
the
the
the
variance
will
enable
the
proposed
load
edition
to
be
processed
as
intended
in
compliance
with
all
of
the
provisions
and
the
intent
of
the
violence
proposal
will
not
result
in
more
than
one
dwelling
house
on
the
lodge
next
slide
with
states
to
public
consultation.
A
public
notice
sign
was
posted
at
both
properties.
F
F
Next
slide,
please.
So
in
conclusion,
these
applications
are
is
being
proposed
for
approval
to
sever
a
portion
of
property
at
2418
cole
hill
road
and
to
transfer
the
several
portion
of
the
lot
onto
the
property
of
1589
unity
road.
As
a
lot
edition,
the
proposal
maintains
the
general
intent
and
purpose
of
both
official
financial
and
bylaw.
Further,
the
requested
variance
is
minor
in
nature,
as
requested
relief
from
the
zoning
via
law
arises
from
the
technicality
of
of
zoni
bylaw,
and
the
effect
of
them
would
be
limited
to
the
subject
property.
A
A
Or
kingston
ontario
great
thanks
very
much.
Mr
rice.
Is
there
anything
further?
You
want
to
add
to
the
application
before
us,
no,
nothing
at
all
perfect!
So
I'll
turn
to
the
committee
members.
Do
you
have
any
questions
for
mr
rice
and
I
see
three
headshaking
notes
so
I'll
open
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting?
Do
we
have
any
members
of
the
public
with
us
this
evening
who
wish
to
speak
to
the
application
for
2418
cole,
hill,
road
or
1589
unity?
Road?
Please
raise
your
virtual
hand
in
zoom
I'll
call
again.
A
Do
we
have
any
members
of
the
public
with
us
this
evening
wishing
to
speak
to
the
application
for
2418,
cole,
hill,
road
or
1589
unity,
road,
please
raise
your
virtual
hand
and
zoom.
My
third
and
final
call
is
anybody
with
us
this
evening
to
speak
to
the
application
for
2418,
cole,
hill,
road
or
1589
unity?
Road,
please
raise
your
virtual
hand
and
seeing
none
I'll
close
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting
and
come
back
to
the
committee
for
a
motion
so
moved
by
somnath
and
seconded
by
vincent.
A
A
D
G
Hi
everyone-
sorry,
I
just
had
some
computer
problems,
so
I
apologize
for
my
absence
in
this
meeting,
but
let's
continue
on
so
this
is
a
minor
variance
application
recommending
approval
for
the
application.
At
the
noted
addresses
on
stewart
street.
This
property
is
known
locally,
as
kingston
general
hospital.
The
variances
would
allow
for
a
12-story
addition
to
the
existing
hospital
building
at
the
north
end
of
the
property
along
stewart
street.
G
The
addition
would
accommodate
an
improved
helipad
on
the
roof,
which
would
streamline
emergency
services
and
patient
transfers
and
allow
for
the
removal
of
the
existing
helipad
on
public
open
space
at
the
lake
ontario
waterfronts.
The
expansion
represents
a
significant
investment
in
the
city
and
will
facilitate
improved
health
care
services
for
the
region.
Next
slide,
please,
the
hospital
property
is
comprised
of
the
city
block
between
king
street
west,
lower
university
avenue
steward
street
and
george
street.
The
immediate
area
surrounding
the
hospital
is
generally
characterized
by
institutional
buildings
and
public
open
space.
G
You'll
note
that
the
application
also
includes
the
etherington
hall
and
richardson
labs
buildings
along
stewart
street,
which
have
historically
been
used
by
queens.
The
hospital
and
university
have
a
purchase
agreement
related
to
these
two
properties
and
the
two
buildings
are
proposed
to
be
removed
to
accommodate
the
planned
expansion.
Next
slide,
please,
from
an
overall
practical
perspective,
the
variances
we
are
looking
at
today
really
are
variances
one
and
five
shown
here.
G
They're
seeking
approvals
at
this
stage
in
order
to
provide
a
level
of
confidence
to
the
board
ahead
of
a
site,
plane,
control
application,
submission
upon
formal
purchase
of
the
lots
the
properties
would
emerge
on
title
and
variances.
Two
through
four
would
effectively
become
obsolete
variance.
One
relates
to
the
minimum
front
yard
requirement
for
steward
street.
The
requested
reduction
to
the
required
frontier
depth
for
the
edition
would
provide
setback
consistent
with
what
currently
exists
in
the
property
today
and
the
building
being
designed.
G
Sorry
excuse
me:
the
building
has
been
designed
to
provide
an
attractive
pedestrian
environment
and
the
sighting
and
design
are
compatible
with
the
surrounding
large-scale
institutional
land
uses.
It's
important
to
note
that
the
height
of
the
building
proposed
at
12
stories
is
zone
compliant
variance.
5
relates
to
the
provision
of
loading
spaces
for
the
property
loading
space
requirements
are
calculated,
based
on
the
total
floor
area
of
the
use
and
based
on
the
proposed
floor
area.
33
loading
spaces
will
be
required.
G
G
G
This
image
has
been
provided
by
the
project,
architect
team
and
illustrates
the
design
vision
for
the
edition.
It
should
be
noted
that
this
rendering
is
conceptual
at
this
stage
and
final
details
will
be
further
reviewed
through
the
subsequent
required
heritage.
Permit
and
site
plan
control
processes,
as
you
can
see,
a
covered
pedestrian
walkway
and
it
might
be
hard
there
just
given
the
size
of
the
image
in
people's
screens,
but
it's
a
long
steward
street
there.
G
G
The
architects
have
provided
a
change
in
materiality
beyond
the
building
base
in
order
to
accommodate
a
pedestrian
scale
and
relate
to
the
adjacent
heritage
buildings
next
slide.
Please
notice
was
provided
for
this
meeting
in
accordance
with
the
planning
act
and
as
of
today
and
as
of
april
5th
as
well.
No
additional
public
correspondence
has
been
received
on
the
application.
G
Next
slide,
please,
as
detailed
in
the
staff
report,
the
proposed
variance
meets
the
four
tests
for
a
minor
variance,
as
outlined
in
the
planning
act.
An
approval
would
allow
for
the
expansion
of
an
institutional
use
in
an
institutional
area
that
is
compatible
with
the
surrounding
uses
in
buildings,
and
this
application
is
recommended
for
approval
and
I'm
in
your
hands.
Mr
chair.
A
H
Good
evening,
mr
chair
and
through

staff
report
and
recommendations

agree
with
the
conclusions
of
staff
and
would
be
happy
to
assist
with
answering
any
questions.
Great.
A
No,
and
I
see
three
heads
shaking
no
so
I'll
open
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting.
Do
we
have

members
of
the

None
I'll
come
back
to
the
committee
for
a
motion
so
moved
by
somnath
and
seconded
by
vincent
any
discussion
on
this.
A
D
I
The
purpose
of
this
application
is
to
construct
a
seven-story
addition
and
mechanical
penthouse
onto
the
south
eastern
corner
of
duncan
macarthur
hall.
Next
slide,
please
so
queen's
west
campus
is
about
24
hectares
in
size
and
contains
various
university
and
institutional
uses,
including
classrooms
and
campus
halls
sports
fields
in
a
stadium
and
student
residence
buildings.
I
I
So
to
facilitate
the
development
the
applicant
has
proposed
two
variances.
The
first
is
for
the
building
height,
the
maximum
height
allowed
is
30,
there
is
23
meters.
Excuse
me
and
the
proposed
building
is
32
meters.
The
second
is
for
the
area
of
the
rooftop
on
which
the
mechanical
penthouse
occupies.
I
I
I
So
here
you
can
see
the
displayed
site
plan.
The
addition
is
to
be
located
at
the
southeast
corner
of
the
site
and
connect
with
the
existing
duncan
macarthur
hall.
A
new
entrance
atrium
is
incorporated
into
the
design,
as
well
as
a
pedestrian
oriented
courtyard
in
the
front
of
the
building
and
some
very
various
other
site
design
elements
that
will
be
looked
at
through
site
plan
control.
Review
next
slide,
please,

above
rendering
and
elevation
drawing
help
to
visualize
how
the
structure
will
integrate
into
the
existing
building.

A
B
C
Work
vincent,
I
can
confirm
with
the
bylaw
that
quorum
is
maintained
if
there
are
only
two
members
provided
that
any
other
members
missing
are
out
due
to
a
pecuniary
interest.
So,
regarding
any
motions
for
this,
the
chair
is
allowed
to
second
motion,
so
you
would
be
able
to
second
any
motions
related
to
this
file.
B
I
All
right,
hello,
again,
everyone
and
through
you,
mr
vice
chair.
This
is
an
application
for
consent
and
minor
variants
at
1771
unity,
road.
The
purpose
of
the
consent
application
is
to
sever
a
one
hectare
residential
lot
from
the
5.6
hectare.
Subject:
property
and
the
minor
variance
is
requested
to
provide
relief
from
minimum
lot
frontage
provisions
for
both
the
severed
and
retained
lots
next
slide.
Please,
the
site
is
situated
on
the
south
side
of
unity,
road
between
the
hamlets
of
elgenberg
to
the
west
and
glen
burnie
to
the
east.
I
I
I
Next
slide,
please
in
terms
of
public
notice,
signage
was
posted
on
site
14
days.
Prior
to
this
meeting,
notices
were
mailed
to
29
property
owners
within
60
meters
of
the
site
and
courtesy
notice
was
placed
in
the
kingston
wig
standard,
no
pieces
of
cor.
Public
correspondence
have
been
submitted
to
this
file
next
slide.
I
It
is
my
recommendation
to
approve
the
consent
and
minor
variances,
as
they
are
consistent
with
the
provincial
policy
statement
and
maintain
the
general
intent
and
purpose
of
the
official
plan
and
zoning
bylaw.
A
plan
of
subdivision
is
not
necessary
for
the
property,
proper
and
orderly
development
of
the
property.
The
proposed
development
is
desirable
for
the
appropriate
development
or
use
of
the
land,
and
the
requested
variances
are
minor
in
nature.
I
J
Thank
you,
mr
voice.
