Description
Committee of Adjustment meeting from August 24, 2020. For full meeting agenda visit https://bit.ly/31rDV4e
A
All
right:
well,
I
think
what
I'll
do
is
I'll,
just
go
ahead
and
I'll
call
I'll
get
things
started
here
so
good
evening
good
evening.
Everybody
and
welcome
to
our
virtual
committee
of
adjustment
meeting
on
your
screen.
You'll
see
members
of
the
committee
of
adjustment.
Now
behind
the
scenes.
We
have
many
staff
members
with
us
this
evening
and
even
though
you
won't
see
them,
you
will
hear
them
chime
in
from
time
to
time.
A
Our
secretary
treasurer
is
lindsay
staman
and
we
also
have
clerks
james
thompson
and
derek
o'shea
who
are
hosting
and
running
the
meeting
on
the
zoom
platform
from
behind
the
scenes.
So
for
sure
they
are
authorized
to
interrupt
the
meeting
as
the
need
arises
and
you'll
hear
them
chime
in
from
time
to
time.
A
So
the
agenda
and
the
schedules
for
this
meeting
have
been
posted
on
dash
on
the
city's
website
and,
if
you
don't
have
those
documents
and
you'd
like
to
follow
along,
you
might
want
to
access
them.
Now
we
have
four
agenda
items
this
evening
and
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
the
format
that
I'm
going
to
be
using
to
navigate
through
each
application.
I'm
going
to
start
by
introducing
an
application
and
then
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
give
each
applicant
or
their
agent
an
opportunity
to
add
anything
further.
A
If
you
are
the
applicant
or
the
agent,
and
you
have
nothing
further
to
add
then
simply
say
so
next
I'll
invite
members
of
the
committee
to
ask
questions
of
either
the
applicant
or
staff
and
then
I'll
open
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting.
So
it's
at
that
time
I'll
invite
members
of
the
public
to
raise
their
virtual
hand
and
zoom
if
they
have
any
questions
or
comments
in
respect
of
the
application.
A
Now,
if
you
do
not
have
a
question
or
if
you
don't
have
a
comment,
then
please
I'm
sorry.
If
you
do
have
a
comment
or-
and
you
do
have
a
question-
please
don't
expect
an
immediate
answer,
because
it's
during
this
public
portion
of
the
meeting
that
we
will
be
recording
your
questions
and
comments
and
only
after
I
close
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting.
A
Will
the
questions
and
comments
be
addressed
by
the
applicant,
their
agent
or
staff,
to
be
sure
I'll
call
three
times
for
public
comments
before
I
close
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting
next
I'll
invite
the
applicant
and
or
staff
to
address
the
public
comments,
after
which
I'll
ask
the
committee
to
make
a
motion
and
then
deliberate
on
the
application
at
that
time?
If
you're
the
applicant
you're
free
to
leave
the
meeting,
then
we
just
rinse
and
we
repeat
I'll,
be
using
the
same
format
for
each
application
this
evening.
A
So
that's
pretty
much
it
in
a
nutshell.
Now,
if
you
have
a
personal
interest
in
any
particular
application
and
you'd
like
to
receive
written
notice
of
tonight's
decision,
then
please
send
an
email
with
your
name
and
your
address
to
our
secretary
treasurer
lindsay
stamen.
Her
email
address
is
l-s-t-h-a-m-a-n-n
at
city
of.
A
A
All
right,
so
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
confirmation
of
the
minutes
of
the
july
20th
meeting.
Everybody
has
a
copy
of
them.
I'm
assuming
you've
already
had
an
opportunity
to
review
them.
Can
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes,
so
that'd
be
moved
by
somnath
seconded
by
jordan.
Any
discussion
on
that?
A
A
B
A
Okay,
so
vincent
during
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting,
we'll
just
get
you
to
sort
of
lead,
the
virtual
room,
you
know
mute
your
video,
so
we
can't
see
you
and
then,
when
that
portion
of
the
meeting
is
over,
then
we'll
just
have
you
chime
back
in
okay.
We
have
no
delegations
this
evening.
There
are
no
requests
for
deferral
and
we
do
not
have
any
returning
deferred
items.
A
D
C
E
E
E
Sorry,
I
was
just
kind
of
next
slide,
please,
oh
sorry,
okay,
the
purpose
of
it
is
to
reduce
the
minimum
side
yard
from
12
meters
to
6
meters,
and
this
is
just
to
allow
a
shed
to
be
constructed
and
it's
a
fairly
small
shed.
The
parcel
of
lands,
approximately
one
acre
this
or
10
000
square
meters-
and
this
shed
is
a
13
square
meters.
E
F
E
As
you
can
see
from
the
key
map,
it
is
near
the
intersection
of
finley
station
road,
which
is
a
gravel
road
and
fourth
concession
road,
which
is
just
a
little
bit
north
of
401
and
4th
concession
road
is
a
paved
road
and
there's
a
sorry.
I
didn't
get
all
them,
but
I
believe
there's
a
string
of
about
five
houses
just
in
that
area
and
the
rest
of
the
surrounding
area
is
a
rural
area.
E
E
E
E
E
G
H
A
H
A
Okay,
so
we'll
go
on
the
assumption
that
the
application
is
complete
and
that
they
don't
have
anything
further
to
add
at
this
time,
we'll
put
it
forth
to
the
committee
we'll
go
through
our
regular
process
and
if
there
are,
you
know,
questions
that
need
to
be
addressed,
then
we'll
we'll
deal
with
that
technical
issue.
So
what
I'll
do
now
is
I'll?
Come
back
to
the
committee
and
I'll
I'll
ask
the
committee
if
you
have
any
questions
for
the
applicant
or
maybe
even
staff,
yep,
jordan,.
I
E
A
A
A
A
E
A
C
D
D
So
purpose
and
effect
this
this
report
provides
a
recommendation
to
the
community
of
adjustments
regarding
an
application
for
permission
for
the
property
located
at
66
bay
street.
The
permission
application
is
requested
to
permit
the
construction
of
a
48
square
feet
second
floor
balcony
within
the
rear
yard
of
the
attach
attached
to
a
legal
non-conforming
one
unit
residential
row
house,
located
in
an
a
zone
of
the
zoning
by
law.
D
Eight,
four,
nine
nine
the
owner
proposes
to
construct
a
second
floor
balcony
deck
within
the
rare
yard
of
the
one
unit
residential
row
house,
building
the
second
floor.
Belching
slash
deck
will
provide
additional
amenity
area
within
the
rear
of
the
property
for
the
owner
of
the
property.
Next
slide,
please.
D
D
D
The
requested
application
for
mission
under
section
45
2ai
of
the
planning
act
is
consistent
with
the
general
purpose
and
general
intent
of
both
the
city
of
kingston
official
plan
and
zoning
bylaw
8499.
The
location
of
the
proposed
second
floor
balcony
is
in
keeping
with
the
intent
of
the
zoning.
Violin,
represents
appropriate
and
desirable
development
of
the
lot
and
will
be
functional
for
the
continued
residential
use.
A
A
J
A
Okay,
any
other
questions
of
staff
or
the
applicant,
and
I
don't
see
any
so
we'll
go
to
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting.
Are
any
members
of
the
public
here
this
evening
to
speak
to
the
application
for
66
bay
street
and
derek?
Are
there
any
members
in
the
public
gallery
or
should
I
just
skip
this
or
go
for
my
third
call.
A
A
A
K
A
K
K
The
purpose
of
the
application
is
to
obtain
relief
from
basically
two
sets
of
well
two
types
of
zoning
provisions.
One
is
related
effectively
to
parking,
so
standard
parking
space
is
loading,
spaces
and
bus
spaces
and
then
the
second
type
is
related
to
the
built
form,
so
the
street
wall
height
and
the
maximum
front
yard
setback
from
the
street
wall
and
the
effect
would
be
to
permit
the
redevelopment
of
what
is
an
existing
two-story
hotel
to
a
six-story
hotel
from
with
115
rooms.
K
Now,
I'd
just
like
to
note
that
this
also
requires
a
variance
from
bylaw
number
2019-73,
which
is
commonly
referred
to
as
the
interim
control
by
law
for
williamsville,
and
we
just
identified
that
the
language
in
the
interim
control
by
law
speaks
to
setbacks
and
height,
and
while
it's
our
recommendation
that
this
fits
within
the
the
intent
of
the
williamsville
main
street
policy
and
regulatory
framework,
we
want
to
recognize
that
that
that
it
touches
on
this.
So
next
slide,
please.
K
K
So
there
would
be
they're
proposing
102
parking
spaces
and
they're
proposing
to
reduce
the
number
of
bus
parking
spaces
as
well,
basically
to
use
the
lot,
which
is
currently
configured
for
bus
parking
and
standard
parking
spaces
so
that
to
its
best
effect
and
similarly
there's
a
requirement
for
loading
spaces,
and
this
is
looking
to
reduce
that
to
one
loading
space
next
slide.
Please.
K
There's
a
minimum
of
75
percent
of
the
building
frontage
is
to
be
built
to
the
front
property
line
or
applicable
setback
line,
and
in
this
instance,
the
the
building
is
proposed
to
be
at
one
point,
the
main
part
of
the
building
is
to
be
at
1.7
meters
for
floors,
two
to
four,
with
a
protrusion
at
the
ground
floor
which
would
reduce
it
to
1.2
meters.
Hence
the
required,
or
the
request
is
set
back
at
0.5
meters
next
slide,
please!
K
So
that's
not
intended
as
any
kind
of
living
space.
It's
effectively
a
murky
again,
you
can
see
there's
a
protrusion
at
grade
with
the
covering
for
the
area,
that's
the
entryway,
and
that
is
the
requested
variance
along
the
street
facing
side.
It's
worth
noting
as
well
that
the
applicant
is
providing
a
greater
setback,
which
is
in
keeping
with
the
general
recommendations
that
are
going
forward
regarding
williamsville
in
terms
of
creating
a
broader
walking
area
at
grade
next
slide,
please!
K
So
here's
the
site
plan
for
the
the
proposal.
You
can
see
the
area
and
kind
of
a
lavender
there
at
the
front
along
the
street.
Is
the
proposed
redevelopment
in
the
area
to
be
demolished?
Is
the
part
further
to
the
south,
with
the
the
parking
generally
being
retained
and
done
a
small
reconfiguration
to
to
accommodate
the
required
parking
and
proposed
next
slide?
K
K
So
our
recommendation
is
that
that
the
requested
variants
maintains
the
general
intent
and
purpose
of
the
official
plan
and
the
zoning
bylaw,
and
that
it's
desirable
for
the
appropriate
development
of
the
land
and
that
it's
minor
nature
and
as
such,
we
feel
that
it
meets
the
four
tests
of
minor
variants
and
we
recommend
it
for
approval.
The
standard.
A
M
M
A
J
J
Well-
and
it
is
really
about
the
the
height-
the
variance
number
three,
I
believe
is
to
do
with
the
height
of
the
signage,
and-
and
it's
not-
I
lost
my
page
here
for
a
second,
but
my
understanding
is
that
the
signages
is
the
only
portion
of
the
building
that
exceeds
the
the
maximum
height.
But
when
I
look
at
the
rendering
here,
it
looks
like
there's
some
of
the
structure,
the
actual
building,
that's
above
the
signage
as
well.
Am
I
looking
at
this
the
wrong
way.
K
K
The
upper
parts
of
the
building
do
step
back
and
fit
within,
what's
called
the
angular
plane
requirement
within
it's
basically,
it's
a
45
degree
angle
that
starts
at
13
and
a
half
meters
and
then
proceeds
back
into
the
lot
and
the
the
proposed
building
does
fit
within
the
overall
height.
That's
required,
which
is
20
meters
overall,
and
the
street
wall
also
fits
within
the
maximum
street
wall
height.
A
A
A
C
N
Hi
perfect,
so
thanks
lindsay
and
through
you,
mr
chair,
so
my
name
is
denise
grant
and
I'll
just
be
briefly
presenting
staff's
recommendation
related
to
this
minor
variance
application.
This
is
related
to
the
property
which
is
municipally
addressed
as
179
sydnum
street,
as
well
as
237
to
241
princess
street.
So,
as
noted
in
the
meeting
addendum
that
was
before
you
today,
you'll
note
that
the
maps
associated
with
this
report
have
been
corrected
just
for
clarity
to
outline
the
entire
property.
So
this
was
just
a
mapping
error.
N
For
that
yeah
no
problem
next
slide,
please
so
the
subject
property
is
located
on
a
corner
lot
at
the
northeast
corner
of
princess
street
and
sydenham
street
in
the
central
business
district,
downtown
kingston
next
slide.
Please,
the
property
currently
contains
a
two-story
red,
brick
building,
which
was
actually
constructed
in
19
or
1891
and
is
known
historically
as
the
odd
fellows
block.
So
the
building
currently
contains
retail
uses
on
the
ground
floor,
as
well
as
vacant
commercial
space.
N
N
So
this
application
for
minor
variants
is
requested
in
order
to
facilitate
the
introduction
of
nine
residential
dwelling
units
within
the
second
story
of
the
commercial
building.
So
eight
of
these
dwelling
units
will
be
located
within
the
existing
building
envelope
on
the
second
story,
with
lofts
associated
with
that
and
the
ninth
unit
being
located
within
a
small
second
story.
N
Addition
at
the
northwest
side
of
the
building,
so
this
is
at
the
rear
of
the
property,
so
not
visible
from
princess
street,
nor
sydnum
street
relief
from
zoning
provisions
related
to
maximum
residential
density,
mini
minimum
ratio
for
amenity
area
per
dwelling
unit
and
the
minimum
number
of
vehicle
parking
spaces
per
dwelling
unit
is
required
in
order
to
support
the
development,
as
proposed
next
slide.
Please
so
just
a
little
bit
of
background,
the
city's
downtown
and
harbor
zoning
bylaw
does
encourage
upper
story,
conversions
of
older
commercial
buildings
within
the
downtown
core
to
provide
additional
residential
units.
N
This
type
of
conversion
allows
for
gentle
residential
intensification
within
the
main
city
center
that
can
conserve
important
cultural
heritage
resources.
Minimize
the
impacts
of
development
on
surrounding
properties
contribute
to
the
vitality
of
the
downtown
core
and
offer
urban
lifestyle
housing
options
for
new
and
existing
residents
in
kingston
residential
conversions
on
lower
princess
street
specifically
allow
for
residents
to
utilize
the
alternative
transportation
modes
that
are
offered
by
the
city,
which
include
express
transit
services,
cycling,
infrastructure
and
improved
sidewalks.
This
type
of
residential
intensification
supports
a
number
of
our
council's
priorities
and
represents
good
planning
next
slide.
N
Please
so
shown
here.
I
know
it's
a
little
bit
hard
to
see
depending
on
how
big
your
screen
is,
but
hopefully
you
can
make
that
enough
and
they're,
also
in
your
package
and
the
proposed
elevation,
so
the
top
one
here
is
being
as
viewed
from
sydney
street
where
you
can
see
that
the
only
change
really
is
at
the
north
west
on
this
side
or
sorry.
N
On
the
left
hand,
side
of
your
screen
right
now,
where
a
new
two-story
stair
edition
would
be
seen
from
the
street
in
place
of
an
existing
one-story,
brick
edition,
which
is
currently
on
the
site
at
the
rear,
which
is
shown
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen.
Here
you
can
see
the
extent
of
the
two
story
additions
at
the
back
of
the
property,
which
is
the
north
of
the
site.
As
you
can
see,
the
additions
will
be
no
taller
than
the
existing
heritage
building
and
will
be
located
on
the
existing
building
footprint
next
slide.
Please.
N
So
I
won't
go
into
too
much
detail
on
the
floor
plans,
but,
as
you
can
see
here,
the
main
changes
on
the
first
story
involve
the
new
stairs
and
the
introduction
of
a
common
bike,
slash
mail
room
for
tenants
which
will
be
accessed
from
sydenham
street
next
side
please,
and
on
the
next
story.
So
the
second
story-
you
can
see
the
extent
of
the
ninth
residential
unit
shown
on
the
top
left
hand
corner
of
your
screen.
N
N
Next
slide,
please
so
listed
here
are
the
requested
variances,
which
are
described
in
more
detail
in
the
report,
which
are
required
to
facilitate
the
development
as
described.
These
relate
to
maximum
residential
density,
the
minimum
amenity
area
per
dwelling
unit
and
the
off-street
residential
parking
ratio.
N
Next
slide,
please,
as
described
in
staff's
report,
the
application
meets
the
four
tests
of
the
planning
act
related
to
minor
variances
and
is
recommended
for
approval
today.
This
proposal
for
your
information,
will
also
be
subject
to
site
plan
control
approval
and
through
that
process
the
city
has
a
little
bit
more
control
over
kind
of
the
technical
and
functional
aspects
of
the
site
to
ensure
it's
serviced
properly
and
safe
for
users
and
those
kinds
of
things.
So
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions
from
the
committee
as
they
come
up.
A
A
L
A
J
J
So
potentially
there
could
be
15
persons
occupying
those
bedrooms
and
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
the
nine
bicycle
racks
and
I
realize
it's
not
a
variance
per
se,
but
I'm
just
wondering
why
it
was
you
know
there
was
a
requirement
for
nine
parking
spots
and
they
replaced
that
with
nine
bicycle
parking
spots.
If
you
will
and
why
not
15
bicycle
parking
spots
and-
and
maybe
this
is
a
little
to
staff
as
well,
because
you
know
the
mobility
options
for
the
people
residing
in
in
those
in
that
building.
J
A
N
Sure,
thank
you
for
you,
mr
chair
and
yeah.
The
applicant
might
want
to
follow
me
on
this,
but
I'll
just
maybe
speak
to
it
from
perspective
so
and
certainly
appreciate
the
the
comment
for
sure
and
we're
certainly
always
kind
of
pushing
for
more
bike
parking
wherever
we
can
get
it
so
currently,
our
bylaw
requires
one
vehicle
parking
space
and
one
bicycle
parking
space
per
dwelling
unit,
so
the
applicant
is
supplying
bicycle
parking
in
accordance
with
the
requirements
of
the
zomling
bylaw
right
now
and
certainly
understand
the
question
related
to.
N
N
The
applicant
can
speak
to
this
after
me
all
of
their
floor
plans,
so
I
know
that
they
were
looking
to
add
extra
bicycle
parking
spaces
if
they
have
the
space
available.
So
I
will
let
them
speak
to
that
part
of
it,
but
from
staff
perspective,
they're
meeting
their
requirements
of
the
zoning
bylaw
for
bicycle
parking
space
right
now,.
L
Yeah,
the
the
room
that
the
bicycles
parking
is
shown
in
is
throwing
bicycles
on,
stands
quite
separated.
That
room
will
take
a
lot
more
bicycles
if
there's
more
bicycles
needed.
We
just
showed
that
for
the
application.
The
only
other
purpose
of
that
room
is
a
mail
room
and
a
place
for
amazon
to
drop
things
off.
So,
as
you
can
see,
there's
garbage
room
and
there's
a
recycling
room,
so
they're
separate
from
that
as
well.
A
A
A
A
A
J
A
Sure
no
a
communication
went
out
to
all
committee
members.
I
thought
all
other
committee
members
received
it.
It
was
about
two
to
three
weeks
ago
and
alex
resigned
from
the
committee
due
to
other
other
commitments
and
just
his
inability
to
devote
the
time
that
he
felt
was
necessary.
But
I
I
apologize
if
you
didn't,
if
you
hadn't
received
that.
J
G
I
can
speak
to
that
mr
chair.
The
city
does
an
annual
recruitment
process
in
the
fall
of
each
year,
so
it
will
be
roughly
late
september
early
october.
We
will
be
recruiting
to
fill
vacancies
which
will
include
mr
adams's
committee
of
adjustment
position,
so
you
should
have
a
new
member
in
place,
hopefully
by
possibly
november,
definitely
by
the
december
meeting.
Thank
you.
A
No,
I
don't
see
any
okay,
so
I
was
back
to
delegated
authority
applications
in
progress.
Have
you
had?
Do
you
have
any
questions
about
what
what's
currently
under
works?
Okay,
I
don't
see
any
all
right.
There
were
no
pieces
of
correspondence
so
we're
on
to
the
date
of
the
next
meeting,
which
is
scheduled
for
september,
the
21st
2020..
