• The proposed accessory building (detached garage and quilt/craft room) is a use associated with the permitted residential use of the property. • The accessory structure would comply with all other applicable zoning provisions. • The variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the subject property, as the accessory structure would be located more than 20 metres from the road and would not be visible from the road as there is an existing buffer of trees in the front yard. Locating the accessory structure in the front yard would minimize the already disturbed area on the subject property.

The applicant is proposing to construct a 2-story dwelling located within 30 metres of Dog Lake. Brad Wright, Director of Development Services, delivered his report to the Committee. Michael Preston, Agent spoke to the proposal and the topographical challenges of maintaining the 30m setback from the highwater mark. Committee Member Pegrum proposed rotating the dwelling slightly to conform to the setback. Mr. Preston passed around a detailed topographical site plan to Committee members. Committee Member Revill inquired as to whether Township Staff could be more flexible in the setback encroachment to come to a compromise with the Applicant Committee Member Howe inquired as to whether the application may be deferred to allow for more meetings between the applicant and the Planning department. Committee Member Pegrum requested Mr. Right to demonstrate where the dwelling could be situated within the setback boundaries. Committee Member Morey spoke to the importance of the Development Agreement on the title of the property Chair inquired as to the function of the Development Agreement. Ms. Woods spoke to the purpose of the Development Agreement and it’s purpose being to let future property owners know about development requirements and/or restrictions on the subject property that wouldn’t otherwise be captured. Committee Member Revill expressed that he believed the request to be Minor in nature.

Consent Application PL-BDJ-2022-0155, Elaine and Lynn Snider, 4617 Bedford Road, Loughborough District
Summary This application is for the creation of a new residential lot. This report recommends denial of the application as it does not conform to the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan and it does not comply with Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. Specifically, the severed parcel would be deficient in lot area and would not be a satisfactory geometric design.

Property Description The subject property is located off Bedford Road just outside the Sydenham Settlement Area. The property is 1.5 hectares in size and pie-shaped. The property contains a single detached dwelling, pool and sewage system that are in the centre of the property. The frontage of the property generally consists of a rock cut. Department and Agency Comments Public Services provided comments on December 2022. It was noted that there are adequate sight lines for an entrance for the severed parcel. The entrance would need to be located at the southwest corner of the severed parcel. There are no special drainage/ditching concerns, and the overall road condition is adequate to serve increased development. Road widening is to be determined by an Ontario Land Surveyor. A 30-metre standard right-of-way is required on Bedford Road since it is an arterial road. Any shortfall of the right-of-way as measured 15 metres from the centreline of the road shall be dedicated for the severed lots. Public Services have no objection to the approval of the consent application. Building Services indicated in December 2022 that they cannot support the application as the proposed property line runs through the mantle loading area of the existing sewage system for the dwelling on the retained parcel. Building Services did confirm that the proposed severed parcel would provide flexibility in siting a sewage system dependant on the proposal submitted through an application to construct a sewage system. The applicant responded in May that they would move the existing sewage system to a compliant location on the retained parcel if the application is approved by the Committee of Adjustment. This action would need to be ensured through a condition of approval.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Consent Application PL-BDJ-2022-0155, Elaine and Lynn Snider, 4617 Bedford Road, Loughborough District
Public Comments Two individuals asked questions about the application related to the form of residence, access, sewage system location and source of potable water supply. Township staff provided responses to their questions. The individuals then indicated that they had no objection to the application. Planning Analysis The Provincial Policy Statement 2020 (PPS) allows growth and development to be directed to rural lands, including residential lot creation that is locally appropriate. The County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan also permit residential development in the Rural designation. Section 5.7.4 of the Township Official Plan indicates that a maximum of three rural residential lots may be created by consent from a landholding provided that the new lots meet the General Consent Policies, as well as all other applicable policies. The subject property is eligible for severances under Section 5.7.4, as there have been no previous severances from the subject property since the adoption of the Township Official Plan in September of 2000. However, the property does not meet all other applicable policies. Section 5.7.4 requires the frontage, size and shape of any lot created for rural residential purposes through the severance approval process to be appropriate for the proposed use and to conform to the provisions of the zoning by-law. The frontage of the severed parcel and the retained parcel would exceed the minimum 76 metres required on a public road. The severed parcel would be 0.7 hectares in size, which is less than the minimum 0.8 hectares required by the Official Plan and by the Zoning By-law. The Provincial D-5-4 Guidelines on Individual On-Site Sewage Systems and Water Quality Impact Risk Assessment specify that developments consisting of lots which average one hectare (with no lot being smaller than 0.8 hectares), may not require a detailed hydrogeological assessment, provided that it can be demonstrated that the area is not hydrogeologically sensitive. Based on this guidance, the Township Official Plan requires a minimum 0.8 hectare lot size for consent applications so that applicants don’t need to complete this study. Lots less than 0.8 hectares in size are generally only considered through a plan of subdivision in which the lot areas are supported by a hydrogeological assessment and terrain analysis that demonstrates that there would be no adverse impacts to groundwater quality and quantity within the subdivision and for existing adjacent development. The proposed 0.7 hectare size of the severed parcel is close to 0.8 hectares. However, the existing dwelling (which would be on the retained parcel) is in the centre of the property, www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

resulting in a severed parcel that would be a narrow V-shape, which would not be a satisfactory geometric design as required by Section 7.1(d). The lot configuration would result in an awkward development envelope on the severed parcel. In addition, the property line between the severed and retained parcels would run through the mantle area of the existing sewage system, requiring the system to be moved. Private wells and sewage systems are the only servicing option outside of the Village of Sydenham. The subject property lies just outside Sydenham and the area serviced by the municipal water system. The PPS only allows the extension of partial services (e.g. municipal water and private sewage system) into rural areas to address failed individual onsite sewage and individual on-site water services for existing development. The severed parcel would be new development. Therefore, the severed parcel cannot be connected to the municipal water system with the intention of supporting a smaller lot size. It is the opinion of staff that it would not be appropriate to consider a reduction to the minimum lot size requirement, as allowed by section 5.7.4(ii)(a), as the overall intent of the Official Plan is not maintained. Conclusion Staff recommend that the Committee of Adjustment deny this application. The less than 0.8 hectare lot area does not conform to the Township Official Plan nor does it comply with the Zoning By-law. The severed parcel also would not satisfy the requirements of section 51(24) of the Planning Act. Specifically, regarding (c) conformity to the Official Plan, (d) the suitability of the land for the purposes for which it is to be subdivided, and (f) the dimensions and shapes of the proposed lot. Should the Committee of Adjustment choose to grant consent for a new lot with a lot area less than 0.8 hectares, it should be provisional subject to standard conditions (e.g., survey, road widening, cash-in-lieu of parkland, etc.,). A condition would be required to ensure the existing sewage system would be moved to a compliant location on the retained parcel. A zoning by-law amendment would also need to be sought for the lesser lot area. Such a zoning by-law amendment would need to be considered by Township of South Frontenac Council. Notice/Consultation Notice of the Application was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act. A Notice of Public Meeting was circulated pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 14 days before the public meeting. This included notice given: • •
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

May 1, 2023 23-SFR-MVA-0007 (Bedford) Township of South Frontenac Committee of Adjustment PO Box 100 4432 George Street Sydenham, ON K0H 2T0
Attention: Bradly Wright Subject:
Johnston, Michael & Sandra; Application for Minor Variance, PL-ZNA-20230037–332 Pine Shores Lane, Lot 25, Concession 2; Geographic Township of Bedford, Now the Township of South Frontenac; Roll Number: 1029 0200 2041 7000 0000 ———————————————————————————————————–Dear Mr. Wright, The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has reviewed the subject applications within the context of:
- Section 3.1 Natural Hazards of the Provincial Policy Statement under Section 3 of the Planning Act;
- The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (“Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses” regulation 174/06 under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act);
- The Mississippi-Rideau Source Water Protection Plan;
The Proposal The RVCA understands this application is seeking relief from the Townships Zoning By-law to allow for the construction of a carport (13 m2) and detached garage (22 m2) within the 30m setback of Bobs Lake. The application is also seeking relief from permitted lot coverage. Finally, the application also seeks to recognize a reduction in the permitted water setback of an existing deck.
Page 113 of 226
The Property The subject property is an irregularly shaped 1310 m2 lot. The property is developed with a dwelling (99 m2) and an attached deck (32.5 m2). An existing retaining wall runs along the shoreline adjacent to the dwelling. A bay is located east of the cottage with manicured lawns to the west, the remaining eastern portion is naturalized. Staff from our office participated in a preconsultation site visit in March 2023 and had the opportunity to speak with the owners regarding the existing deck. The lot slopes gradually towards Bobs Lake. Several mature trees are present. A review of the desktop mapping indicated the following natural hazards or natural heritage features: -Our office has determined the 1:100 year flood level on Bobs Lake to be 163.07 metres above sea level -Bobs Lake is considered to be a watercourse for the purpose of our regulation -The property overlies a highly vulnerable aquifer A review of our records does not reveal the presence of marine clays, organic soils, or wetland areas. Review Comments Provincial Policy Statement Concerning section 3.1 of the PPS our office has no concerns given the location of the proposed garage and carport with respect to the 1:100-year flood level. Digital mapping products indicate that the elevation of the shoreline where the existing deck is located is above the 1:100-year flood level. Ontario Regulation 174/06 Our office regulates the shoreline of Bobs Lake. Any development proposed along the shoreline of Bobs Lake (including, but not limited to, grading, site alteration, dock installation, or erosion protection works) requires prior written permission is required from our office in accordance with our (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses) made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act. As acknowledged by the property owners the existing deck was constructed without the benefit of review by our office. Discussion In reviewing this application, it was noted that the calculation for lot coverage does not appear to include the existing deck. It is indicated the existing dwelling is 99 m2 resulting in a lot coverage of 7.5%. However, when the deck (approximately 32.5 m2) is included, this increases the existing lot coverage to 10%. The proposed accessory structures: a garage (22 m2) and a carport (13 m2) represent an additional lot coverage of 2.7%. As an existing undersized lot, there are challenges in considering the amount of development relative to the lot size. Under the Rural Waterfront zoning, 5% lot coverage is permitted for a
Page 114 of 226
Page 2 of 3
single detached dwelling (Section 8.3.1 of the Township’s Zoning By-law), and an additional 5% is permitted for accessory structures not attached to the principal dwelling (Section 5.24). Increases in impervious surfaces (including buildings and structures) have the potential to increase runoff and erosion. This is raised as it is the opinion of this reviewer that given the reduced setback of the proposed structures from Bobs Lake consideration should be given to how to effectively manage any runoff on-site to prevent shoreline erosion, this may include a combination of low-impact development (LID) techniques such as soak away pits, French drains, and vegetated swales to promote adsorption and infiltration of runoff. Recommendations Should the Township allow the variance our office would have the following recommendation for conditions of any implementation agreement or notes to be included in any decision:
- A plan be provided demonstrating how runoff will be managed on-site. Roof runoff from all structures should be directed to the rear or side yards and to an area of soil depth or containment adequate to allow for absorption and infiltration to minimize erosion potential.
- Sediment and erosion controls (such as silt fencing & straw bales) should be installed on the downslope side of the construction site prior to any works commencing (including demolition and future construction) and be maintained in place until vegetation has re-established. This should be to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Official. -For any work undertaken along the shoreline of Bobs Lake, a permit will be required by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority in accordance with Ontario Regulation 174/06 (“Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses”). Conclusions In conclusion, our office has no objection to the subject application. Please advise us on the Committee’s decision respecting this application or any changes in the status of the application. Thank you for the opportunity to comment and please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (613) 692-3571 x1109 should you have any questions. Yours truly,

No objection, the location of the sewage system has been confirmed in accordance with the sewage system record for KFL&Apermit BE-17-10. The proposed garage is permitted to be located a minimum of 5 meter from the outer most distribution pipe to the closest point of the garage. The distribution pipe must be exposed prior to the placement of concrete in the footing proposed to confirm the setbacks by the building inspector. The sewage system area should be protected from accidental damage during the construction.

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: June 8, 2023 Minor Variance Application (S. 45(1) of the Planning Act) Subject: PL-ZNA-2023-0037, Michael Johnston, 332 Pine Shores Lane, Bedford District
Summary The subject application seeks zoning relief to permit a carport and garage with a setback of 14.6 metres instead of the required 30 metres. The applicant is also requesting a minor variance to permit an existing deck which fronts onto Bobs Lake. This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment deny approval of the minor variance request for the existing deck under section 45(2) of the Planning Act. This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of the minor variance application related to the carport and garage subject to conditions, as this application meets the four tests of a minor variance outlined in section 45(1) of Planning Act.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Limited Service Residential – Waterfront Zone (RLSW) Zoning Relief Requested Sections 5.8.2(b) and 7.3.2 – to permit accessory buildings (detached garage and carport) to be setback a minimum of 14.6 metres from the highwater mark of a watercourse, whereas the Zoning By-law requires a minimum 30 metre setback for all buildings and structures. Related Applications The subject property is not subject to any other applications under the Planning Act.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0037, Michael Johnston, 332 Pine Shores Lane, Bedford District
Discussion/Analysis Property Description The 0.13 hectare (0.32 acre) property has frontage on Pine Shores Lane. Approximately half of the property is forested. The property is developed with a single detached dwelling. Summary of Proposal The owner proposes to construct a 232 square foot detached garage and a 152 square foot carport. The garage and carport would be located to the north of the dwelling. The accessory structures would be setback 24.5 metres from the highwater mark of the watercourse on the property. The total lot coverage of the proposed accessory structures would be 2.7%, below the upset limit of 5% lot coverage for accessory structures. An application for minor variance was received to permit the accessory buildings to be setback less than 30 metres from the highwater mark of Bobs Lake. The applicant is also requesting a minor variance to permit an existing deck which fronts onto Bobs Lake. The applicant has stated that they purchased the property in 2019 and that the previous owner had advanced construction of the deck. The applicant completed construction with the assumption that approvals were already in place. Due to the undersized lot, the existing dwelling results in a total lot coverage of 7.5%, which exceeds the permitted lot coverage for residential use (5%). The existing deck was constructed without planning or building approval and increases the lot coverage to 10%. A letter from the applicant providing additional background is provided as an attachment. Department and Agency Comments Cataraqui Conservation indicated in a letter dated May 1, 2023, that they have no objection to the approval of this application based on their consideration for natural hazard policies and O. Reg. 148/06. However, a plan should be provided demonstrating how runoff will be managed on-site. Roof runoff from all structures should be directed to the rear or side yards and to an area of soil depth or containment adequate to allow for absorption and infiltration to minimize erosion potential. Building Services provided a letter dated May 23, 2023, indicating that the location of the sewage system has been confirmed. The proposed accessory structure is permitted to be located a minimum of 5 meters from the outer most distribution pipe. Public Services was not circulated as the subject property is located on a private lane. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Public Comments No comments have been received from the public as of the date of this report. Planning Analysis Accessory structure (detached garage and carport): The proposal needs to be assessed against the four tests of a minor variance outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. It is the opinion of Planning staff that the proposal meets the four tests as explained below. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The subject lands are designated Rural in the Official Plan on Schedule A. The proposed accessory structures (garage and carport) is a use associated with the permitted residential use of the property. The garage and carport would be setback 14.6 metres from the highwater mark of Bobs Lake. Section 5.2.7(b) of the Official Plan indicates that consideration may be given to reductions to the minimum 30 metre highwater mark setback only if it is not physically possible to meet the setback anywhere on the property. Where it is not physically possible to meet the setback, then the structure must be constructed as far back as possible from the highwater mark. The proposed location of the garage and carport was chosen by the owner with consideration for the topography and the undersized lot. The proposed variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan related to residential development, and development adjacent to environmentally sensitive areas. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The proposed variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. The proposed garage and carport is a use associated with the permitted residential use of the property. The garage and carport setback from the highwater mark will be maximized at 14.6 metres. The accessory structures would comply with all other applicable zoning provisions. Is the requested variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure in question? The requested variance is desirable for the appropriate use of the land and building. The location of the garage and carport is practical. The setback from Bobs Lake is maximized. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0037, Michael Johnston, 332 Pine Shores Lane, Bedford District
Is the variance minor? The requested variance is minor as it maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is desirable for the appropriate development of the land. It is not anticipated to impact the existing or planned functionality of the property and adjacent properties. The existing natural vegetation will be maintained between the proposed accessory structures and Bobs Lake. Existing Deck: The subject application seeks permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge the legal non-conforming dwelling on the property within 30 metres of the highwater mark of Bobs Lake. The existing 99 square metre dwelling is set back approximately 5.2 metres (17 feet) from the highwater mark. The existing deck is 32.5 square meters and is setback 1.2 metres (4 feet). The Township Official Plan Schedule designates the subject property as Rural and the property is zoned RLSW in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The dwelling is a permitted use. Section 5.10.2 of the Zoning By-law states that existing buildings with less than the minimum 30 metre setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody may be repaired, renovated or strengthened to a safe condition provided there is no enlargement of the gross floor area or increase in height. This provision prohibits the enlargement of these existing buildings, without seeking permission from the Committee of Adjustment. The existing dwelling is a legal non-conforming building because it was constructed prior to the current Zoning By-law and is setback approximately 5.2 metres (17 feet) from the highwater mark. Through its powers under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to enlarge the dwelling. Due to the undersized lot, the existing dwelling results in a lot coverage of 7.5%, which exceeds the zoning provision. The addition of the existing deck increases lot coverage further to 10%. The total potential lot coverage when considering the existing dwelling, existing deck, and proposed accessory structures results in a lot coverage of 12.7%. The following considerations need to be taken into account when reviewing the application:
- The enlargement of the legal non-conforming dwelling with the existing deck results in a setback of close to 1.2 metres (4 feet) from the highwater mark of Bob’s Lake.

Page 120 of 226
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0037, Michael Johnston, 332 Pine Shores Lane, Bedford District
The intent of a legal non-conforming use with regard to setbacks from the high water mark is to not allow any further setback encroachment. 2. The existing deck further exacerbates permitted lot coverage standards by increasing lot coverage to 10%. The zoning standard for the principal building is 5%. Based on the above points, it is staff opinion that the minor variance under Section 45(2) to permit the existing deck should be denied as the existing deck creates a further encroachment upon the setback from the highwater mark and further increases the lot coverage on an undersized lot.
Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 10 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given: • • •
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, deny the minor variance application under Section 45(2) related to the existing deck fronting onto Bobs Lake for the property at 332 Pine Shores Lane. It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, approve minor variance application PL-ZNA-2023-0037 for the property at 332 Pine Shores Lane, with respect to the detached garage and carport subject to the following conditions.
- The minor variance is for two accessory structures (detached garage and carport). The accessory structures are permitted to be setback a minimum of 14.6 metres from the highwater mark of the watercourse on the property. The location and dimensions of the garage must be consistent with the applicant’s site sketch that will be attached to the Decision as Schedule “A”.
- A building permit is required for ALL demolition and construction on the property. There shall be no additional development on the property without the approval from the Township of South Frontenac.
- A building permit is required for the demolition of the existing deck on the property which fronts onto Bobs Lake. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 121 of 226
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0037, Michael Johnston, 332 Pine Shores Lane, Bedford District
- The Owner is required to enter into a Development Agreement to be registered on the title of the property to the satisfaction of the Township to address the following matters and environmental standards of the Township: a. Appropriate erosion control measures (e.g. silt fence, straw bales) must be used during construction and until the site is stable and revegetated. b. Roof runoff will be directed away from the shoreline of Bobs Lake and neighbouring buildings and structures, and discharged to natural or constructed leaching pits/areas to maximize infiltration or onto coarse rock rubble splash pads to reduce the velocity of runoff. c. Preparation of a shoreline remediation plan. The purpose of the plan is to create and enhance the natural vegetative buffer within at least 15 metres of the highwater mark of Bobs Lake. The plan shall be reviewed by the Township prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit under the Ontario Building Code. The plan shall be implemented within 6 months of an occupancy permit being issued for the dwelling approved through application PL-ZNA-2023-0037.
- Minor variance PL-ZNA-2023-0037 is applicable only to Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 and not to any subsequent zoning by-laws. Report Prepared By: Brad Wright, Director of Development Services

Reduce the required setback from the highwater mark from 30 metres, as required by Section 5.8.2.a) of the South Frontenac Zoning By-law, to 25.3 metres to permit the construction of the new addition.
Site Description The subject property is located on the eastern shore of Desert Lake and is situated on Precambrian Shield. The shoreline bordering the subject lands consists primarily of a steep bedrock slope that reaches a height of approximately 8 metres. The area located on the top of the slope where the existing dwelling is located levels out slightly, then rises again into a secondary ridge. The property is densely covered in mature tree and vegetation growth, with a cleared area in the centre where the existing development is located.

Page 137 of 226
The property is currently designated as ‘Rural’ in the Official Plan and is zoned ‘Limited Service Residential - Waterfront’ (RLSW) in the Zoning By-law for South Frontenac Township. Desert Lake itself is identified as a moderately sensitive Lake Trout Lake in the Official Plan and is zoned ‘Environmental Protection’ (EP) in the Zoning By-law. Discussion Cataraqui Conservation’s scope of review for this proposal includes the avoidance of natural hazards (e.g. flooding and erosion) associated with the shoreline of Desert Lake. Natural Hazards Flooding: The highest recorded water level for Desert Lake is 136.31 metres geodetic. For Desert Lake, the highest recorded water level is used in lieu of an engineered flood plain. Cataraqui Conservation’s Guidelines for Implementing Ontario Regulation 148/06 (see description below) require all development and site alteration to be set back a minimum of 6 metres from the regulatory floodplain of a waterbody. Based upon elevation mapping data and the site plan submitted with the application, the proposed development will be located outside of any area that may be subject to potential flood risk. Erosion: Section 5.8.2.b) of the Zoning by-law requires that no building or structure or septic tank installation shall be located within 15 metres horizontal of the top of bank of any embankment, the slope of which is greater than 30% from horizontal. Due to the bedrock shoreline, and in accordance with provincial technical standards, CRCA defines the extent of potential erosion hazards to be 6 metres from the stable top of bank. The purpose of this setback is to ensure that regular maintenance or repair of buildings and structures, or that bank stabilization and shoreline protection works can occur, and that emergency personnel have the ability to access shoreline areas. Based on the survey submitted with the application, the proposed addition is located within the 6 metre access allowance from the top of bank. CRCA policies and guidelines can permit a reduction of the access setback for the proposed addition since the addition does not encroach further into the access setback than the existing building and access is not further restricted. Since the proposal is not anticipated to aggravate the hazard, staff have no concerns from an erosion perspective. If approved, staff recommend that proper sediment and erosion controls be incorporated into construction plans. Staff also recommend the maintenance and enhancement of a healthy buffer of native vegetation between all buildings/structures and the water, to help stabilize soils into the long-term.
Page 138 of 226
Recommendation In summary, staff have no objection to the approval of application PL-ZNA-2023-0044 based on our consideration for natural hazard policies. We also recommend implementation of the above-noted environmental mitigation measures (in bold text) and advise the applicant that a CRCA permit will be required for the proposed addition under O. Reg. 148/06. Ontario Regulation 148/06 Please note that portions of the subject lands are subject to Ontario Regulation 148/06: Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses, which is administered by the CRCA. The purpose of the regulation is to ensure that proposed changes (e.g. development and site alteration) to a property are not affected by natural hazards, such as flooding and erosion, and that the changes do not put other properties at greater risk from these hazards. For this property, any development (buildings and structures) and site alteration (excavation, grading, placement of fill) within 15 metres of the floodplain of Desert Lake (the elevation 136.31 m geodetic) or within 15 metres of the top of bank of the shoreline is subject to O. Reg. 148/06. Therefore, a permit will be required from our office for the proposed development. The landowner(s) are advised to contact CRCA at the building permit stage for more information about permitting requirements under O. Reg. 148/06. Please inform this office of any decision made by the Committee with regard to this application. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at 613-546-4228 ext. 239, or by e-mail at jtreash@crca.ca. Yours truly, . Janelle Treash Resource Planner cc:

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: June 8, 2023 Permission Application (S. 45(2) of Planning Act) Subject: PL-ZNA-2023-0044, Mills, 1031 Smeltzer Lane, Loughborough District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application for permission to enlarge a legal non-complying dwelling under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, subject to conditions.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) Relief Requested The applicant seeks permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge a legal non-complying dwelling on the property within 30 metres of the highwater mark of Desert Lake. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act.
Discussion Property Description The subject property is an undersized lot of record measuring 0.9 Ha (2.2 Ac) in area and 148m of frontage on the eastern shore of Desert Lake. The property is accessible by private laneway (Smeltzer Lane) via Canoe Lake Road. There currently exists a 1097.9sqft (102sqm) one-storey frame dwelling with attached deck and accessory structure. The property is situated on top of a slope, which levels out slightly near the existing dwelling in the middle of the property, before rising again into a secondary ridge. As a result of the slope, there is a www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0044, Mills, 1031 Smeltzer Lane, Loughborough District
raised staircase which provides access to the shoreline. The subject property is densely covered in mature trees and vegetation growth, with a cleared area in the centre where the dwelling exists. Further, there is an existing powerline which runs through the rear yard of the subject property. Finally, the subject property exists within an area characterized by similar waterfront residential development. Summary of Proposal The applicant proposes to enlarge a legal non-complying dwelling located within 30m of the highwater mark of Desert Lake. The existing 1097.9sqft one-storey dwelling with attached deck is setback 19.79m from the lake. This building will be replaced with a 1637.2sqft (152.1sqm) one-storey dwelling with walkout basement and attached deck. The proposal consists of a rebuild within the existing rectangular footprint and an expansion to the east, away from the shoreline. The proposed addition is to be setback 25.5m from the highwater mark of the lake and approximately 5m from the top of bank. The height of the new dwelling will also be increased to 7m. The proposed development complies with all other requirements of the RLSW zone. Department and Agency Comments Building Services completed a sewage system review and in a letter dated May 9, 2023, advised that the location identified within the conceptual site plan was suitable for the installation of a class 4 sewage system. Cataraqui Conservation staff, in a letter dated May 4, 2023, provided comments stating that they had no objection to approval of the application. They note that the proposed dwelling is located within an area regulated through O. Reg. 148/06 and therefore a permit from the Cataraqui Conservation will be required for the proposed dwelling if the subject application is approved by the Committee. Further, their staff concluded that the proposed dwelling would not be at risk of flooding. With respect to erosion, CRCA staff noted that the proposed enlargement of the dwelling is located within 6m access allowance from the stable top of bank. However, because the proposed enlargement would not encroach further into the access setback than the existing building it is not anticipated to aggravate an erosion hazard. Therefore, Cataraqui Conservation staff also have no concerns from an erosion perspective but recommend proper sediment and erosion controls if approved. CRCA staff also recommend maintenance and enhancement of a healthy shoreline buffer to help stabilize soils into the long-term. Public Comments Supportive written comments were received from a nearby landowner.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0044, Mills, 1031 Smeltzer Lane, Loughborough District
Planning Analysis The property is zoned RLSW. Dwellings are a permitted use in the RLSW zone. Section 5.10.2 of the Zoning By-law states that existing buildings with less than the minimum 30m setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody may be repaired, renovated, or strengthened to a safe condition provided there is no enlargement of the gross floor area or increase in height. This provision prohibits the enlargement of existing buildings, without seeking permission from the Committee of Adjustment. The existing dwelling holds legal noncomplying status as it was constructed prior to the current Zoning By-law and is setback 19.79m from the highwater mark. Through its powers under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to enlarge the dwelling. A portion of the proposed new dwelling is to be constructed in the same location as the existing dwelling. The proposed dwelling footprint is slightly larger than the existing dwelling, increasing lot coverage of the principal structure from 1.1% to 1.7%. While the footprint is increasing, there is considerable overlap in the footprint of the proposed building compared to the existing structure which will minimize the amount of site disturbance and vegetation removal. The portion of the proposed dwelling outside of the existing footprint will extend east and will be setback further from the highwater mark (25.5m proposed vs.19.79m existing). Due to existing topography, there is no opportunity to locate the proposed dwelling further from the lake. Section 5.8.2 of the Zoning By-law states that no building or structure shall be located within 15m of the top of bank of a slope which is greater than 30% from horizontal. The existing dwelling is located approximately 5m from the top of bank. The proposed enlargement of the dwelling would be setback farther from the top of bank than the existing building. As such, CRCA staff concluded the proposal is not anticipated to aggravate a hazard and had no concerns from an erosion perspective. The existing dwelling consists of one-storey and is 4.9m in height. The proposed dwelling will also consist of one storey but will include a walkout basement oriented away from the shoreline. As such, building height will increase to 7m which is within the maximum permitted height of the RLSW zone. Maintaining existing vegetation will assist in screening the development from adjacent properties and assist in mitigating visual impacts when viewed from the lake. Further, a new septic system is to be installed on the subject property and will be approximately the same distance from the lake as the existing, outside of the 30m buffer. Conclusion It is the opinion of staff that it is appropriate for the Committee of Adjustment to grant permission to expand the legal non-complying dwelling on the property, as described in this report.

by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by posting on the Township’s Current Planning Application webpage by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, approve application PL-ZNA-2023-0044 for 1031 Smeltzer Lane, subject to the following conditions.
- Permission is granted to enlarge the legal non-complying dwelling on the subject property. The replacement dwelling is permitted to have 152.1sqm gross floor area, and a maximum building height of 7m. The expansion is permitted to establish a minimum 25.5m setback from the highwater mark of Desert Lake and a 5m setback from the top of bank. The location of the expansion must be consistent with the submitted plans (Mark Peabody Custom Builder submitted April 13, 2023) that will be attached to the Decision as Schedule “A”.
- The Owner is required to enter into a Development Agreement to be registered on the title of the property to the satisfaction of the Township to address the following matters and environmental standards of the Township: a. Appropriate erosion control measures (e.g., silt fence, straw bales) must be used during construction and until the site is stable and revegetated. b. Roof runoff will be directed away from the shoreline of Desert Lake and neighbouring buildings and structures and discharged to natural or constructed leaching pits/areas to maximize infiltration or onto coarse rock rubble splash pads to reduce the velocity of runoff. c. The natural vegetated buffer must be maintained in its natural state within 30 metres of the shoreline.
- A building permit is required for ALL proposed demolition and construction on the property. There shall be no additional development on the property without the approval from the Township of South Frontenac.

Photographs taken during the inspection are included in the Photo Appendix. The subject slope is located east of the existing dwelling, cresting immediately at the rear of the dwelling and extending to the toe of slope located at the Bob’s Lake shoreline. The total slope face length was measured to be approximately 32.5 meters. At approximately 19 meters below the crest, the slope begins to flatten and a natural, relatively flat surface is observed for approximately 7.5 meters in length. The slope then steepens once again for a length of approximately 8.5 m, extending to the toe. The table land or plateau where the addition is proposed to be constructed currently consists of a level, gravel-based surface with existing concrete piers

The area of the proposed addition footprint at the crest of the slope was observed to consist of up to approximately 1.0 meter of gravel material overlying topsoil and bedrock. Bedrock outcrops were visible at the crest. Additionally, results were compared to the well record provided by the homeowner for the recently installed well. The well record indicates that granite bedrock was encountered at 1.2 mbgs while the overburden soils consisted of a sand with

cobbles and/or boulders. Based on the use of an inclinometer, the subject slope has an inclination of approximately 3H:1V to 2H:1V (20°). The inclination of the slope was measured using a hand inclinometer from the slope toe. The slope itself shows no signs of instability or distress. Based on our above observations, as well as publicly available geological maps, it is likely the slope is composed predominantly of bedrock overlain by relatively shallow deposits of topsoil. The watercourse was found to be less than 15 meters from the slope toe.

CONSTRUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS
Peterborough Kingston Barrie Oshawa Calgary
In order to mitigate possible adverse effects to the slope stability following
Laboratory Peterborough
completion of construction, the following general recommendations are provided: •
A minimal amount of trees should be removed from the slope face.
•
Construction activities should be conducted in a manner which does not result in surface erosion of the slope. Site grading and drainage should be designed to prevent direct concentrate or channelized surface runoff from flowing directly over the slope.
•
The slope should not be steepened in any way with fill material.
•
Water drainage from down-spouts, rain gutters, sumps, and the like should not be permitted to directly flow over the slope crest as channelized runoff.
17704-001
Page 170Page of 4226
April 21, 2023 •
Foundations should bear on clean, sound granite bedrock. Foundations should be founded on flat surfaces or anchored to bedrock by means of doweling where sloped bedrock conditions exist at footing subgrades. If required, Cambium personnel can return to site to confirm foundation subgrade during construction.
Environmental Geotechnical Building Sciences Construction Quality Verification
LIMITATIONS AND REVIEW The above rating parameters assume that the proposed addition will be founded directly on bedrock. The subgrade conditions of the addition should be verified at the time of construction by geotechnical personnel.

Sarah MacLeod-Neilson, Planner Department of Science and Planning Isabelle Maltais, P. Eng., Natural Hazard Water Resources Engineer, Department of Engineering and Regulation April 26, 2023 23-SFR-MVA-0009, Proposed New Deck, 307 Pine Shore Lanes, South Frontenac, ON Minor Variance Application
Subject Review of Slope Stability Hazards Submission Engineering Letter of Opinion, Cambium, April 21, 2023
Site and Project Description The property is located at 307 Pine Shores Lane in South Frontenac, Ontario, on the west shore of Bob’s Lake. The site presents a relatively level plateau to the western portion followed to the east by a slope that descends about 15 m in height with an angle of about 20 degrees. An existing dwelling is present on the western plateau from which a deck is proposed along the north and east sides. The deck would be located in part near the crest of a slope and extend beyond the 30 m setback requirement which would require a minor variance approval.
Status The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) geotechnical engineering staff have reviewed the available information, within the following context, and recommend acceptance of the geotechnical Engineering Letter of Opinion prepared by Cambium and dated April 21, 2023, in support of the minor variance application. Our acceptance is discussed within the body of this memorandum.
Discussion In the context of the site geological conditions and proposed development, we consider the geotechnical Engineering Letter of Opinion to provide sufficient information to demonstrate that the proposed site alteration would not be within a hazard area or increase the risk of slope stability hazard. All recommendations within Cambium letter should be followed, including having the footings bearing on bedrock.
Page 175 of 226
Technical Review • Memorandum Review of Slope Stability Hazards April 26, 2023 Page 2 of 2
Finally, we would like to remind the applicant of the following best practices when in proximity to slopes:
- Do not direct uncontrolled water towards the slope (drainage, gutter, septic field, pool & hot tub drainage, etc.)
- Do not overload the top of the slope (backfill, fill, miscellaneous waste, grass cuttings, branches, leaves, snow, etc.)
- Do not excavate at the base of the slope
- Maintain healthy native vegetation cover
- Use proper erosion & sediment control during construction work
Limitations RVCA geotechnical engineering staff has not conducted an independent site investigation to confirm the validity of the data, analyses, interpretations and recommendations presented in Cambium, April 21, 2023, Engineering Letter of Opinion. RVCA reiterate that the qualified professional who has conducted and signed the letter, endorsed the final responsibility for its content and corresponding recommendations.
We trust, this is suitable for your purposes at the present. Please call if you have any questions.

Attention: Christine Woods Subject:
McGregor, Cole & Brackenridge Matt; Application for Minor Variance, PL-ZNA2023-0045–307 Pine Shores Lane, Lot 25, Concession 4; Geographic Township of Bedford, Now the Township of South Frontenac; Roll Number: 1029 0200 2058 0000 0000 ———————————————————————————————————–Dear Ms. Woods, The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has reviewed the subject applications within the context of:
- Section 3.1 Natural Hazards of the Provincial Policy Statement under Section 3 of the Planning Act;
- The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (“Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses” regulation 174/06 under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act);
- The Mississippi-Rideau Source Water Protection Plan;
The Proposal The RVCA understands this application is seeking relief from the Townships Zoning By-law to allow for the construction of a deck for which a portion will extend into the 30 m setback from the high-water mark of Bobs Lake.
Page 177 of 226
The Property The subject property is an irregularly shaped 1.02 acre lot (0.413 ha). The property is developed with an existing dwelling. The dwelling is constructed on a plateau that slopes steeply to the east. Staff from our office participated in a pre-consultation site visit in March 2023 and recommended that a geotechnical opinion be provided regarding the feasibility of construction adjacent to the slope. The lot has several mature trees and a rocky shoreline. A review of the desktop mapping indicated the following natural hazards or natural heritage features: -Our office has determined the 1:100 year flood level on Bobs Lake to be 163.07 metres above sea level -Bobs Lake is considered to be a watercourse for the purpose of our regulation -The property overlies a highly vulnerable aquifer -Steep slopes are present on the subject property A review of our records does not reveal the presence of marine clays or organic soils. Review Comments Provincial Policy Statement Concerning section 3.1 of the PPS our office is satisfied that hazards associated with steep slopes have been addressed with the provision of a geotechnical letter of opinion (Engineering Letter of Poinion-307 Pine Shores Lane, South Frontenac ON, Cambium reference: 17704-001, Cambium, dated April 21, 2023) and provided recommendations within the letter are implemented. Ontario Regulation 174/06 Currently, our office regulates the shoreline of Bobs Lake. Should any development be proposed along the shoreline of Bobs Lake (including, but not limited to, grading, site alteration, dock installation, or erosion protection works) prior written permission is required from our office in accordance with our (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses) made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act. The development proposed in the subject application does not include any shoreline alteration and is outside RVCA’s regulation limit, therefore written permission is not required from our office under the aforementioned regulation. Recommendations Technical staff at our office reviewed the letter of opinion and have provided recommendations regarding best management practices within the enclosed technical memo. Should the Township allow the variance our office would have the following recommendation in any implementation agreement or notes to be included in any decision:
- Construction recommendations outlined on page 4 of the Engineering Letter of Poinion-307 Pine Shores Lane, South Frontenac ON, Cambium reference: 17704-001, Cambium, dated April 21, 2023
Page 178 of 226
Page 2 of 3
- Maintenance of native vegetation within the slope and throughout the 30 m setback of the highwater mark from Bobs Lake.
- Surface water runoff should be away from the slope to an area of soil depth or containment adequate to allow for absorption and infiltration. -No excavations work should occur at the base of the slope and the top of the slope should not be overloaded with materials (fill, waste, snow, etc).
- Sediment and erosion controls (such as silt fencing & straw bales) should be installed prior to any works commencing (including demolition and future construction) and be maintained in place until vegetation has re-established. This should be to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Official. -Should any work be undertaken along the shoreline of Bobs Lake permits would be required by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority in accordance with Ontario Regulation 174/06 (“Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses”). Conclusions In conclusion, our office has no objection to the subject application. Please advise us on the Committee’s decision respecting this application or any changes in the status of the application. Thank you for the opportunity to comment and please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (613) 692-3571 x1109 should you have any questions. Yours truly,

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: June 8, 2023 Minor Variance Application (S. 45(1) of Planning Act) Subject: PL-ZNA-2023-0045, McGregor & Brackenridge, 307 Pineshores Lane, Bedford District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application for zoning relief for a deck attached to a single detached dwelling, subject to conditions, as this application meets the four tests of a minor variance outlined in section 45(1) of the Planning Act.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) Zoning Relief Requested Section 5.8.2 – to permit the proposed deck to be setback 0m from the top of bank, whereas the Zoning By-law requires a minimum 15m setback from the top of bank. Sections 10.3.1 – to permit lot coverage for the principal building to be 6.3% where the RLSW zone permits a maximum of 5% for the principal building. Additionally, to permit a setback of 26.80m from the highwater mark where the RLSW zone requires a minimum of 30m. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act.
Discussion Property Description The subject property is an undersized lot of record measuring 0.4Ha (1.02Ac) in area and 61m of frontage on Bob’s Lake. Access is by private laneway (Pineshores Lane) via www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0045, McGregor & Brackenridge, 307 Pineshores Lane, Bedford District
Bradshaw Road. There is an existing two-storey 1520sqft (141sqm) dwelling with walkout basement and a detached accessory structure. The subject property contains several mature trees and a rocky shoreline. Further, the surrounding area is characterized by similar residential waterfront developments. The subject property is located within a slope which extends from Pineshores Lane to the shore of Bob’s Lake. The existing dwelling is located on a plateau that slopes steeply to the east towards the shoreline. Summary of Proposal The applicant is proposing to construct a 121sqm deck around the east and north sides of the dwelling. The proposed deck would be primarily one-storey with a second storey lookout on the east side of the dwelling. The existing 141sqm dwelling was constructed approximately 31.4m from the highwater of Bob’s Lake. A portion of the proposed deck, being the southeastern most corner, would encroach within the 30m setback. The southeastern corner of the deck would be setback 26.8m. The existing lot coverage of the principal structure is 3.4%. The proposed deck would increase lot coverage to 6.3%. As such, a minor variance is being requested to permit lot coverage to exceed 5% and to encroach within the 30m setback from the highwater mark. Additionally, due to the steep slopes on the subject property, this minor variance is requesting to permit the proposed deck to be located within 15m of the top of bank of the existing slope. The proposed deck will be setback approximately 0m from the top of bank. The proposed deck complies with all other zoning requirements. Supporting Documentation An Engineering Letter of Opinion (Cambium Inc., April 21, 2023) was submitted in support of this application. The letter report provides the results of a site inspection where Cambium observed the existing slope conditions and determined the Slope Stability Rating. The letter report concludes that the proposed deck would be founded on bedrock and would not pose risk to the existing slope stability. Further, the letter report recommends the implementation of best construction practices. Agency Comments Rideau Valley Conservation Authority staff, in a letter dated May 1, 2023, provided comments stating that they had no objection to approval of the application. They note that the proposed development does not include shoreline alteration and is outside of the area regulated by O. Reg. 174/06. Therefore, a permit from the RVCA will not be required for the proposed deck if the subject application is approved by the Committee of Adjustment. Rideau Valley Conservation Authority geotechnical engineering staff, in a letter dated April 26, 2023, recommended acceptance of the geotechnical Engineering Letter of Opinion prepared by Cambium Inc. in support of the minor variance application. RVCA staff consider the Engineering Letter of Opinion to provide sufficient information to demonstrate the proposed site alteration would not be within a hazard area or increase the risk of slope www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

stability hazard. Additionally, RCVA staff state all recommendations within the Cambium letter should be followed and include a list of best practices for development in proximity to slopes. The application was not reviewed by Public Services and Building Services due to the nature of the requested relief and the proposed location of the deck. Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time of the writing of this report. Planning Analysis The proposal needs to be assessed against the four tests of a minor variance outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. It is the opinion of Planning staff that the proposal meets the four tests as explained below. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The variance would facilitate construction of a deck attached to a single detached dwelling on lands that are designated Rural in the Official Plan on Schedule A. The type and amount of development on rural lands must maintain the rural character, natural heritage, and cultural landscape in the Township. The proposed deck is accessory to the permitted residential use of the property. Section 5.2.7 of the Official Plan requires buildings and structures to be setback a minimum of 30m from the highwater mark of lakes and rivers. Vegetation within this area should be disturbed as little as possible and the soil mantle is also not to be altered. The purpose of these measures is to minimize environmental and visual lake impacts by reducing phosphorus inputs, preventing erosion and by maintaining a natural appearance of shorelines. Further, Section 5.7.7 requires limited-service residential development to be designed to preserved as much as possible a site’s physical attributes for the benefit of future residents. Minimal vegetation would need to be removed as a result of the deck, and the deck would be screened from the lake by existing trees. The property is situated along an existing slope from Pineshores Lane to Bob’s Lake shoreline. While the entire property is situated along a slope face, the slope in question is located east of the existing dwelling and crests immediately to the rear of the existing dwelling. Section 5.2.4 of the Official Plan states that the Township will direct development or site alterations away from lands identified by the municipality which may be subject to shoreline erosion hazards. This is typically done through the implementation of a 15-metre setback from the top of bank, as required by the Zoning By-law. In the absence of appropriate setbacks from the top of bank, the applicant retained Cambium Inc. to prepare an Engineering Letter of Opinion in support of the proposal. The letter concluded that the proposed addition would not pose risk to the existing slope stability provided that the proposed structure is founded on bedrock. RVCA geotechnical engineering staff reviewed the Engineering Letter www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 182 of 226
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0045, McGregor & Brackenridge, 307 Pineshores Lane, Bedford District
of Opinion and concluded that it provided sufficient information and recommended acceptance. As such, it is unlikely that the proposed development would result in, or be impacted by, a shoreline erosion hazard. It is the opinion of Township staff that the proposed variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan, specifically the policies related to limited services waterfront residential development, and development adjacent to environmentally sensitive areas. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The addition of a deck to an existing dwelling is a permitted use in the RLSW zone. The proposed deck complies with all requirements of the Zoning By-law except the maximum permitted lot coverage, minimum setback from the highwater mark and proximity to slope greater than 30% from horizontal. The existing dwelling is currently in compliance with the requirement for maximum lot coverage. However, the proposed deck would result in an increase in lot coverage to 6.5%. The increase in lot coverage as a result of the proposed deck is appropriate given the topographical constraints on the property. The door facing the lake is currently unusable and requires a deck of a certain width in order to be functional. The existing dwelling is currently in compliance with the minimum setback requirements from the highwater mark. However, a small portion of the proposed deck would encroach 3.2m into the 30m buffer zone, with a majority of the deck outside this area. The proximity of the existing dwelling to the 30m buffer has left limited room for the creation of a deck without slight encroachment. Further, the door of the walkout basement is functionally unusable due to the change in elevation. Considering this, the proposed setback of 26.8m from the highwater mark would be appropriate and would improve the functionality of the existing dwelling. The existing dwelling is currently situated within a slope that extends from Pineshores Lane to the shoreline of Bob’s Lake. The Zoning By-law requires a 15m setback from the top of bank of any slope greater than 30% from horizontal. In the absence of such setbacks, the applicant submitted an Engineering Letter of Opinion in support of their proposal. The letter concluded that the proposal would pose no risk to the existing slope stability. Further, the letter was reviewed and accepted by RVCA geotechnical engineering staff. A such, the proposed development is unlikely to result in a shoreline erosion hazards and its location within the existing slope is appropriate. The proposed variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Is the requested variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure in question?

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0045, McGregor & Brackenridge, 307 Pineshores Lane, Bedford District
The requested variances are desirable for the appropriate development or use of the dwelling as it would result in modest sized deck on the dwelling that would facilitate safe and practical access from the dwelling. Is the variance minor? The requested variance is minor as it maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. They are also desirable for the appropriate development or use of the dwelling. It is anticipated that there will be no negative impact on the surrounding properties and on the lake as a result of the addition of the proposed deck to the dwelling.
Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 10 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given: • • • •
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by posting on the Township’s Current Planning Application webpage by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, approve minor variance application PL-ZNA-2023-0045 for 307 Pineshores Lane, subject to the following conditions.
- The minor variance is for a 121sqm deck attached to an existing single detached dwelling. The deck is permitted to establish a minimum 26.8m setback from the highwater mark of Bob’s Lake and a 0m setback from the top of bank. Also, Lot coverage for the principal building is permitted be 6.3%. The location of the deck on the property must be consistent with the submitted sketch (Cole McGregor received April 19, 2023) that will be attached to the Decision as Schedule “A”.
- The Owner is required to enter into a Development Agreement to be registered on the title of the property to the satisfaction of the Township to address the following matters and environmental standards of the Township: a. Appropriate erosion control measures (e.g. silt fence, straw bales) must be used during construction and until the site is stable and revegetated. b. Roof runoff will be directed away from the shoreline of Bob’s Lake and neighbouring buildings and structures and discharged to natural or constructed

leaching pits/areas to maximize infiltration or onto coarse rock rubble splash pads to reduce the velocity of runoff. c. The natural vegetated buffer must be maintained in its natural state within 30 metres of the shoreline, except in the immediate are of the building envelope. 3. A building permit is required for ALL proposed demolition and construction on the property. There shall be no additional development on the property without the approval from the Township of South Frontenac. 4.

Sandra Frost planning Sandra Frost Permission Application PLZNA20230046 (Sheridan) June 4, 2023 10:42:31 AM
Hello Michelle & Brad, Our names are Sandra Frost and Harold Rottine and we live at 138 Timmerman Road, the property that Permission Application PLZNA20230046 is requesting a variance to build 0.3 metres (1 foot) from our property line. We feel unfortunate to be put in this situation and are hoping that this is not going to cause tension with our neighbours, however we are strongly against a variance being approved to allow a very large structure being built 1 foot off of the interior side property line. Below is a list of some of reason for opposing this variance:
- When we first looked to purchase this property one of the things that we loved was the winding driveway through the trees, it was so lovely and welcoming, if a large structure is approved to be built that close to our driveway it will take away from the beauty of our property with its natural landscaping. We purchased this small relaxing acreage in the country to enjoy the surroundings and not have to have large buildings built within 1 foot of our driveway.
- Excavating the granite stone and building 1 foot from the property line will destroy trees that are located beside the proposed area, and which are mostly on our property.
- If the building is built that close to the property line, then all of the snow and rain runoff from the roof will be on our property.
- Neighbours would not even be able to walk behind their building without being on our property.
- If approved to build this structure we feel that it would take away from our property’s value and if in the future we ever decided to sell our house, this could affect the resale value. We hope that this variance is not approved, however if it is we would expect that a professional surveyor (non family member) would be hired to re-establish the correct, straight property line, not what a rope is currently showing as an approximate property line; especially when a building is proposed to be built so close to it. We thank you for your time and consideration. Kind regards, Sandra Frost & Harold Rottine

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: June 8, 2023 Minor Variance Application (S. 45(1) of the Planning Act) Subject: PL-ZNA-2023-0046, Richard Sheridan, 144 Timmerman Road, Bedford District
Summary The subject application seeks zoning relief to permit an accessory building (detached garage and quilt/craft room) in the front yard and to be setback less than 3.0 metres from the interior side lot line. The application is requesting a 0.3 metre (1 foot) setback instead of the required 3.0 metre (9.84 feet) setback. This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application subject to conditions, as this application meets the four tests of a minor variance outlined in section 45(1) of Planning Act.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Waterfront Residential Zone (RW) Zoning Relief Requested Sections 5.24.2– to permit an accessory structure (detached garage and quilt/craft room) in the projected front yard, whereas the Zoning By-law requires an accessory building to be erected to the rear of the projected front or exterior side wall of the main building. Section 9.3.2 –To permit an accessory building (detached garage and quilt/craft room) with an interior side yard of 0.3 metres (1 foot), whereas the Zoning By-law requires a minimum interior side yard of 3 metres (9.8 feet) in the RLS zone. Related Applications The subject property is not subject to any other applications under the Planning Act. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0046, Richard Sheridan, 144 Timmerman Road, Bedford District
Discussion/Analysis Property Description The subject property is located on Timmerman Road, which is off James Wilson Road, and is municipally known as 144 Timmerman Road. The subject property has water frontage on Sand Lake and contains a single detached dwelling and a sleeping cabin. Summary of Proposal The proposed garage and craft/quilt room is approximately 24 feet by 24 feet and 23 feet by 20 feet, respectively. This results in a total area of approximately 93 square metres (1000 square feet). The proposed carport is single storey with a height of 3 metres (10 feet). It would have a front yard setback of 13.4 metres (44 feet) from Timmerman Road and a 0.3 metre (1 foot) setback from the northern interior side lot line. The accessory structure will be 13.1 metres (43 feet) from the principal dwelling and 10 metres (33 feet) from the septic system. An application for minor variance was received to permit the accessory structure in the front yard and to have a setback of 0.3 metre (1 foot) instead of the required 3.0 metre (9.84 feet) setback. Department and Agency Comments Public Services Department – The proposed development is located well back from Timmerman Road, off a long driveway. Public Services was not circulated on the application. Building Department (Sewage System Review) – No development is proposed in proximity to the septic system for this minor variance application, therefore the Building Department was not circulated. Cataraqui Conservation – Given the location and scope of the proposed development, Cataraqui Conservation Staff were not circulated. Public Comments – No comments have been received from the public. Planning Analysis The proposal needs to be assessed against the four tests of a minor variance outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. It is the opinion of Planning staff that the proposal meets the four tests as explained below. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The subject lands are designated Rural in the Official Plan on Schedule A. The proposed accessory building (detached garage and quilt/craft room) is a use associated with the permitted residential use of the property. The proposed variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan related to residential development. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The proposed variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. The proposed detached garage and quilt/craft room is a use associated with the permitted residential use of the property. The accessory structure would comply with all other applicable zoning provisions. The proposed location of the accessory structure is east of the principal dwelling, between the dwelling and the road. There is no opportunity to locate the detached garage and quilt/craft room to the south as that is where the septic system is located. Given that the dwelling is accessed via a long driveway from Timmerman Road, locating the detached garage and quilt/craft room in the front yard between the dwelling and the road is practical on the subject property as it facilitates access to the detached garage and quilt/craft room. Locating the accessory building the rear yard would cause it to be located closer Sand Lake and is therefore not practical. Furthermore, access to the rear of the dwelling is limited by the topography of the property (a hill on the south side). Locating the proposed accessory structure within the required setback for the interior side yard maintains the general intent of the Zoning By-law given it is located away from neighbours dwelling, setback away from the front lot line and is tucked in behind a large rock outcrop.
Is the requested variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure in question? The variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the subject property, as the accessory structure would be located more than 20 metres from the road and would not be visible from the road as there is an existing buffer of trees in the front yard. Locating the accessory structure in the front yard would minimize the already disturbed area on the subject property. The location of the accessory structure is practical relative to the location of the septic system as well as the location of the dwelling, the driveway, and the topography of the property. There is a rock outcrop located directly in front and in behind the proposed location www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 205 of 226
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0046, Richard Sheridan, 144 Timmerman Road, Bedford District
of the accessory structure screening views from the neighbouring property. In addition, the principal dwelling on the subject property will also conceal the accessory structure from the neighbours to the north as development on the neighbouring property is located further south. Is the variance minor? Yes, the variance is minor as it maintains the general intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is desirable for the appropriate development of the land. The variance is minor as it will not cause any negative impacts as a result of the location of the accessory structure relative to the adjacent property and the road.
Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 10 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given: • • •
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, approve minor variance application PL-ZNA-2023-0046 for the property at 144 Timmerman Road, subject to the following conditions.
- The minor variance is for an accessory structure (detached garage and quilt/craft room). The accessory structure is permitted to be located in the front yard and be setback 0.3 metres from the interior side lot line. The location and dimensions of the garage must be consistent with the applicant’s site sketch that will be attached to the Decision as Schedule “A”.
- A building permit is required for ALL demolition and construction on the property. There shall be no additional development on the property without the approval from the Township of South Frontenac.
- Minor variance PL-ZNA-2023-0046 is applicable only to Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 and not to any subsequent zoning by-laws. Report Prepared By: Brad Wright, Director of Development Services www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Sent by E-mail Mr. Brad Wright, Director of Development Services Township of South Frontenac P.O. Box 100 Sydenham, Ontario K0H 2T0 Dear Mr. Wright: Re:
Application for Minor Variance PL-ZNA-2023-0047 (Wilson) Pt Lot 13, Concession 9; 343 Parker Point Lane Bedford District, Township of South Frontenac Waterbody: Devil Lake
Cataraqui Conservation staff have reviewed the above-noted application for minor variance and provide the following comments for the Committee of Adjustment. Proposal The proposal involves the reconstruction and expansion of an existing dwelling on the subject property. The variance is requested to: •
Reduce the required setback from the highwater mark from 30 metres, as required by Section 5.8.2.a) of the South Frontenac Zoning By-law, to 27 metres to permit the construction of the new dwelling.
Site Description The subject property has frontage on Parker Point Lane and Devil Lake. The shoreline bordering the subject lands consists of a relatively gentle slope that gradually rises to a height of about 4 metres where the existing dwelling is located. The property is densely covered in mature tree and vegetation growth. The property is currently designated as ‘Rural’ in the Official Plan and is zoned ‘Limited Service Residential - Waterfront’ (RLSW) in the Zoning By-law for South Frontenac Township. Devil Lake itself is identified as a moderately sensitive Lake Trout Lake in the Official Plan and is zoned ‘Environmental Protection’ (EP) in the Zoning By-law. Page 1 of 3
Page 218 of 226
Discussion Cataraqui Conservation’s scope of review for this proposal includes the avoidance of natural hazards (e.g. flooding and erosion) associated with the shoreline of Devil Lake. Natural Hazards Flooding: The highest recorded water level for Devil Lake is 131.96 metres geodetic. For Devil Lake, the highest recorded water level is used in lieu of an engineered flood plain. Cataraqui Conservation’s Guidelines for Implementing Ontario Regulation 148/06 (see description below) require all development and site alteration to be set back a minimum of 6 metres from the regulatory floodplain of a waterbody. Based upon elevation mapping data and the site plan submitted with the application, the proposed development will be located outside of any area that may be subject to potential flood risk. Erosion: CRCA, in accordance with provincial technical standards, defines the extent of the potential erosion hazards to be 6 metres from the stable top of bank. The purpose of this setback is to ensure that regular maintenance or repair of buildings and structures, or that bank stabilization and shoreline protection works can occur, and that emergency personnel have the ability to access shoreline areas. While the entire lot consists of gradually sloping lands, staff define the top of bank as the area where the immediate shoreline embankment levels out. Based on this and the site plan submitted with the application, the proposed development will be located outside the extent of the erosion hazards. Staff therefore have no concerns from a natural hazards perspective. If approved, staff recommend that proper sediment and erosion controls be incorporated into construction plans. Staff also recommend the maintenance and enhancement of a healthy buffer of native vegetation between all buildings/structures and the water, to help stabilize soils into the long-term. Recommendation In summary, staff have no objection to the approval of application PL-ZNA-2023-0047 based on our consideration for natural hazard policies. We also recommend implementation of the above-noted environmental mitigation measures (in bold text) and advise the applicant that a CRCA permit will not be required for the proposed dwelling under O. Reg. 148/06.
Page 219 of 226
Ontario Regulation 148/06 Please note that portions of the subject lands are subject to Ontario Regulation 148/06: Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses, which is administered by the CRCA. The purpose of the regulation is to ensure that proposed changes (e.g. development and site alteration) to a property are not affected by natural hazards, such as flooding and erosion, and that the changes do not put other properties at greater risk from these hazards. For this property, any development (buildings and structures) and site alteration (excavation, grading, placement of fill) within 15 metres of the floodplain of Devil Lake (the elevation 131.96 m geodetic) or within 15 metres of the top of bank of the shoreline is subject to O. Reg. 148/06. Therefore, a permit will not be required from our office for the proposed development, but the landowner(s) are advised to contact CRCA about permitting requirements under O. Reg. 148/06 when planning future development within our regulated areas. Please inform this office of any decision made by the Committee with regard to this application. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at 613-546-4228 ext. 239, or by e-mail at jtreash@crca.ca. Yours truly, . Janelle Treash Resource Planner cc:

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: June 8, 2023 Minor Variance Application (S. 45(2) of the Planning Act) Subject: PL-ZNA-2023-0047, John Wilson, 343 Parker Point Lane, Bedford District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application for permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming dwelling under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, subject to conditions.

Summary of Proposal The subject application seeks permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge the legal non-conforming dwelling on the property within 30 metres of the highwater mark of Devil Lake. The existing 72.8 square metre dwelling is set back 27 metres from the highwater mark. This building will be replaced and expanded with a one-storey dwelling that has a 241.6 square metre ground floor area. The new dwelling will be set back 27 metres from the highwater mark. The new dwelling will also be increased to 4.5 metres compared to the 4.2 metre height of the existing dwelling. Department and Agency Comments Cataraqui Conservation indicated in a letter dated May 23, 2023, that they have no objection to the approval of this application based on their consideration for natural hazard policies and O. Reg. 148/06. If approved, staff recommend that proper sediment and erosion controls be incorporated into construction plans. Staff also recommend the maintenance and enhancement of a healthy buffer of native vegetation between all buildings/structures and the water, to help stabilize soils into the long-term.
Public Comments No comments have been received by the public. Planning Analysis The Township Official Plan Schedule designates the subject property as Rural and the property is zoned RLSW in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The dwelling is a permitted use. Section 5.10.2 of the Zoning By-law states that existing buildings with less than the minimum 30 metre setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody may be repaired, renovated or strengthened to a safe condition provided there is no enlargement of the gross floor area or increase in height. This provision prohibits the enlargement of these existing buildings, without seeking permission from the Committee of Adjustment. The existing dwelling is a legal non-conforming building because it was constructed prior to the current Zoning By-law and is setback 27 metres from the highwater mark. Through its powers under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to enlarge the dwelling. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

The proposed dwelling will be constructed in the same location as the existing dwelling and utilize the existing septic system on the property. Regarding lot coverage, the proposed dwelling footprint is larger than the existing dwelling and lot coverage will be increasing from 0.5% to 1.5% as a result of the development. While the footprint is increasing, there is significant overlap in the footprint of the proposed building compared to the existing structure which will minimize the amount of site disturbance and vegetation removal that would be required. The dwelling encroaches closer to the rear lot line/Parker Point Lane. The setback from the property line/Parker Point Lane would be 18 metres (120 feet) for the proposed structure instead of the current 37 metres (240 feet) setback. This 18 metre setback would meet the zoning provisions for rear yard setbacks. The proposed dwelling will be setback an adequate distance from the lane to ensure it is not a hazard for the users of the right of way and that there is adequate room to allow for parking and for traffic to pull off the road if necessary. There will be adequate room to park additional vehicles on the property without encroaching on the right of way. The existing dwelling is 1 storey in height, the proposed building is one storey and the building height will increase to 4.5 metres which is within the maximum permitted height of the RLSW zone. Maintaining existing vegetation along with the recommended additional plantings will assist in screening the development from adjacent properties and help mitigate any visual impacts when viewed from the water. Conclusion It is the opinion of staff that it is appropriate for the Committee of Adjustment to grant permission to expand the legal non-conforming dwelling on the property, as described in this report.
Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 10 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given: • • •
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies
