B
B
B
B
All
right,
sorry
again
for
the
the
delay
here
good
evening
and
welcome
to
our
virtual
committee
of
adjustment
meeting
so
on
your
screen.
You'll
see
members
of
our
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.
Our
secretary
treasurer
is
lindsay
staman
and
we
also
have
a
james
thompson
and
elizabeth
fossett
who
are
hosting
the
meeting
and
running
the
zoom
platform
from
behind
the
scenes.
B
So
they
are
authorized
to
interrupt
the
meeting
as
the
need
arises
and
you'll
hear
them
chime
in
from
time
to
time.
So
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
like
to
follow
along,
you
might
want
to
access
them
now.
So
we
have
three
agenda
items
this
evening
and
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
the
format
that
I'm
going
to
be
using
for
each
application.
B
So
I'm
going
to
start
by
introducing
the
applicant
and
ask
the
applicant
or
their
agent
or
give
them
an
opportunity
to
add
any
for
the
anything
further
to
the
application.
So
if
you
are
the
applicant
or
the
agent-
and
you
don't
have
anything
further
to
add,
then
just
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.
Now
it's
at
this
point.
B
Will
the
questions
and
comments
be
addressed
by
the
applicant,
the
agent
or
their
staff,
and
then
next
I'll
invite
members
of
the
I'm
sorry
I'll,
ask
the
applicant
or
their
agent
to
address
the
public's
comments,
after
which
I'll
turn
back
to
the
committee
to
ask
them
to
make
a
motion
and
then
deliberate
on
the
application?
So
that's
the
format
I'm
going
to
be
using
for
each
application
and
that's
kind
of
pretty
much
how
it's
going
to
work
in
a
nutshell.
B
Now,
if
you
have
a
particular
interest
in
any
application-
and
you
want
to
receive
written
notice
of
tonight's
decision,
then
please
send
an
email
with
your
name
and
address
to
our
secretary
treasurer
lindsay
staman.
Her
email
address
is
l-s-t-h-a-m-a-n-n
at
city
of
kingston,
dot,
c-a,
so
I'll
now
call
the
meeting
to
order
at
5,
36
p.m
and
I'll
turn
or
I'll.
Ask
everybody
to
turn
to
the
agenda
now
in
approving
the
agenda.
B
We've
had
several
amendments
that
have
come
through
today,
and
so
the
first
amendment
that
we
have
is
was
actually
technical
in
nature.
It
was
actually
dealing
with
the
removal,
I'm
sorry
to
replace
and
to
delete
and
replace
an
original
report
that
was
technical
in
nature,
but
we've
been
requested
to
deny
the
the
first
amendment,
because
the
second
amendment
that
we're
going
to
be
seeing
here
is
to
actually
withdraw
the
application.
B
What
happened
was
on
the
city's
website
dash,
the
supporting
documents
were
not
made
public,
and
so
members
of
the
public
did
not
have
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
view
those.
So
as
a
result,
we
don't
meet
the
requirements
for
hearing
this.
So
the
second
motion
or
this,
the
second
amendment,
is
going
to
be
to
withdraw
the
application.
B
B
B
B
Okay.
Next
item
is
the
confirmation
of
the
minutes
from
october
19th.
Now
I
wasn't
here,
but
I'm
for
everybody
else
that
was
here
if
you've
had
an
opportunity
to
review
it.
Are
there
any
comments
that
you
want
to
make
at
this
time
or
will
just
somebody
want
to
move
the
approval
of
the
minutes?
Okay,
moved
by
blaine
and
seconded
by
paul
any
discussion.
B
B
B
D
D
B
E
F
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
So
this
application
may
seem
familiar
to
you
because
it
was
earlier.
This
year
there
was
an
application
for
consent
regarding
access
and
storm
water
easements
between
809
and
847
development
drive
that
was
bumped
up
to
this
committee
for
approval.
There
has
also
been
a
zoning
amendment
and
a
delegated
severance
application
in
2019.
C
C
Council
approval
was
received
on
october
6th
of
this
year
to
exempt
this
minor
variance
application
from
that
section
of
the
planning
act.
So
a
minor
variance
may
now
be
granted
by
the
committee
in
accordance
with
the
planning
act,
there's
also
an
active
site
plan
application
for
the
townhouse
development
at
this
site.
B
E
Just
I
think
that
we're
still
working
on
getting
site
plan
approvals,
and
so
the
variances
being
sought
are
worst
case
scenarios.
So
we
may
in
fact
be
able
to
accommodate
a
deck,
a
front
porch
that's
lower
and
an
accessible
parking
space
that
is
closer
to,
if
not
meeting
the
actual
requirement.
But
there
are
some
grading
issues
and
some
site
layout
issues
that
prompted
the
application,
and
so
we
are
seeking
the
variances.
But
we
hope
that
we
may
not
need
to
use
them
or
even
use
them
to
the
full
extent.
B
F
C
F
E
Good
question
through
you,
mr
chair,
when
we
first
filed
the
applications
we
had
proposed
to
bring
the
grade
around
the
building
to
be
lower
so
that
the
windows
in
the
basement
could
be
could
receive
more
light.
Essentially,
since
finding
the
applications,
we've
had
to
bring
the
grade
up
a
bit
to
deal
with
some
building
code
requirements
around
building
height
in
relation
to
grade.
E
So
that's
still
something
sort
of
being
sorted
out
through
the
active
site
plan,
application
and
building
application
and
then
for
the
rear,
accessible
parking
spaces.
It's
actually
somewhat
related
in
that
the
deck
at
the
rear
of
the
building
has
to
be
a
certain
height
in
relation
to
the
grade,
and
if
it's,
if
the
deck
is
higher,
we
need
more
stairs
to
get
down
which
pushes
the
deck
and
pushes
the
stairs
further
into
the
parking
lot,
which
forces
the
parking
space
to
be
a
bit
lower
but
again
same
thing.
E
B
B
B
B
C
G
So
this
is
the
key
map
of
the
area
here.
A
couple
quick
points
to
run
down.
This
is
in
the
official
plan
designates
this
as
a
residential
area.
It's
a
budding
residential
property
to
the
north
and
south,
and
a
multi-family
residential
designation
to
the
right-
or
I
guess
in
this
case
it'd
be
to
the
east.
G
It
fronts
on
the
portsmouth
ave,
which
is
a
collector
road
and
it's
250
meters
from
princess
street,
which
is
located
to
the
north
right
near
that
big
intersection
down
the
hill
and
that
hill
is
important
because
the
site
topography
feeds
into
this
variance.
So
the
property
is
located
on
a
hill
which
slopes
from
high
to
low
ground
from
east
to
west,
as
well
as
from
south
to
north
and
you're,
going
to
see
what
I
mean
a
little
bit
when
we
get
to
the
site.
G
Our
recommended
conditions
of
approval,
which
will
need
to
be
factored
in
at
the
building
permit
stage,
which
would
happen
after
the
minor
variance
was
approved
if
it
should
be
approved.
So
with
this
in
mind,
the
deck
right
now
is
not
in
compliance,
but
it's
going
to
be
once
it's
approved.
It
will
be
not
only
legalized,
but
it
will
improve
the
overall
situation
by
adding
a
screen
which
will
benefit
the
people,
the
benefit,
the
residents
at
783,
portsmouth
and
789
portsmouth,
which
is
to
the
south
of
this
property
next
slide.
G
So
as
we
can
see
in
the
site.
Pictures,
if
you
look
at
number
one
and
two,
the
little
area
with
the
measuring
tape
gives
you
an
idea
of.
What's
quote
unquote,
not
in
compliance.
Currently,
if
you're
looking
at
number
three
that's
a
view
of
actually
from
789
portsmouth
looking
up
as
you
can
see,
it's
situated
on
a
hill,
so
normally
there's
going
to
be
overlooked.
Concerns
anyways,
regardless
of
where
the
deck
would
be
placed,
and
you
can
see
this
in
number.
G
Four
number
four
was
taken
into
site
visit
where
I
attended
and
I
stand
behind,
I
stood
behind
where
the
measuring
tape
was,
and
I
was
able
to
still
clearly
look
into
the
other
person's
rear
yard.
So,
regardless,
if
this
deck
was
built
to
standard
or
not
before,
there
would
still
be
this
intrusive
overlook
potential
just
based
on
the
area's
topography.
B
B
H
No,
I
just
thought
we
purchased
the
my
boyfriend
I
purchased
the
home
on
may
27th.
It
closed
weren't,
aware
that
the
deck
was
illegal
and
the
deck
was
built
two
owners
ago
and
the
guy
that
we
bought
it
from
was
not
aware
either
we
were
planning
on
doing
a
privacy
fence
anyways
next
summer,
but
we're
more
than
welcome
to
do
it
right
now,
if
needed,
but
yeah
good.
H
F
B
B
Yes,
we
we
have
that
on
file
too,
so
thanks
very
much.
Okay,
so
I'll
turn
this
over
to
members
of
the
committee.
Do
you
have
any
questions
for
the
applicant
or
the
planner,
I'm
seeing
none
so
now
I'll
open
the
public
portion
of
the
meeting
or
any
members
of
the
public
here
this
evening
to
speak
to
the
application
for
783
portsmouth
avenue?
Please
raise
your
virtual
hand
and
zoom.
B
B
B
All
right,
so
that's
it
for
our
new
business
and
now
we'll
go
on
to
our
agenda
there.
We
don't
have
any
motions
or
notices
of
motion.
There's
no
other
business.
We
don't
have
any
delegated
authority
applications
in.
Oh,
I'm
sorry
have
you
reviewed
the
delegated
authority
applications
in
progress.
We
all
get
those
regularly.
Do
you
have
any
questions
or
comments
about
them?
B
No,
I
see
none
okay,
so
the
date
of
the
next
meeting
is
scheduled
for
december
14th.
So
that's
I
guess
four
weeks
from
now
I
think
everybody's
good
on
that.
So
now
we
just
need
a
motion
to
adjourn
at
5,
59
pm,
so
moved
by
paul
and
seconded
by
blaine.
All
in
favor
raise
your
hands.
That's
unanimously
carried.
Thank
you.
Everybody
we'll
see
you
next.
