Consent Applications from a Previous Meetings: (not applicable)

New Consent Applications:

PL-BDJ-2026-0006 (2436933 Ont. Inc.) - Storrington District Property Address: 4797 Latimer Road Purpose & Effect of the Application: Consent for the creation of one new residential lot. The new lot would be 4.2 acres in area with 12 metres of frontage on Latimer Road. The severed parcel contains a dwelling, a barn and several outbuildings. The retained parcel would be approximately 88 acres with 20 metres of road frontage on Latimer Road, 10 metres on Round Lake Road and 130 metres on Greenfield Road. The retained parcel would be used for cultivating crops (farming) and contain an existing machine shed. Christine Woods, Manager of Planning, presented her report to the Committee, with a staff recommendation that the application be denied, on the basis that it is premature and could impact the potential for future development of the retained lands. She reminded the Committee that this proposal is a resubmission of a proposal approved by the Committee in 2024, which has since lapsed due to the applicant failing to fulfill the conditions of the approval within the 2-year timeline. Steve Pegrum, Chairperson of the Committee, asked whether the applicant or their agent would like to address the Committee. Jody Campbell, applicant, acknowledged that he had let the original approval lapse as he got busy with other projects and thought he had more time. He stated that the entrance on Latimer Road was originally left for entrance to larger development and that a previous developer had tried to develop the land with a subdivision but had trouble finding adequate water supply. He stated that he feels that requiring the existing barn to be demolished would not be economical as it could be used for storage. Mr. Pegrum inquired (3 times) as to whether there were any questions or comments from members of the public regarding the proposal. None heard. Committee members were given an opportunity to pose questions. Mr. Pegrum asked the applicant what specifically caused him to fail to meet the conditions of the previous approval within the 2 year timeline. Mr. Campbell replied that he had been working with Ms. Woods and Ms. Kaestner to fulfill the conditions of two other severance applications from a commercial property on Perth Road, which took up a lot of his time. He stated that he also works full time so he struggled to get conditions for this proposal fulfilled as well. Mr. Pegrum also

Page 4 of 87

Minutes of Committee Of Adjustment March, 12, 2026 inquired as to whether the dwelling on the property is currently occupied. Mr. Campbell confirmed that it was. Committee member Patrick Diotte asked Ms. Woods whether there were any other fundamental changes between this proposal and the previous application apart from the current proposal being submitted under the new Official Plan, as he struggled to understand why the Committee would deny this application when the previous one was approved. Ms. Woods replied that in 2024 the staff recommendation was also that the proposal be denied, however, the Committee approved the application against that recommendation. Mr. Pegrum asked for clarification as to how the lack of frontage, being the existing driveway for the dwelling would impact the future development of the retained lands, if the dwelling has been occupied and the property has been functioning in that manner for many years. Ms. Woods replied that the size and shape of the severed lot could impact how the property is developed in the future, particularly the narrow piece to the east of the proposed severed parcel. She stated that taking as little land as possible for the severed parcel would provide more opportunity and flexibility for the future development of the retained lands. She also spoke to the potential for conflict surrounding the existing shed on the retained lands as the entrance to the shed is very close to the proposed property line. Mr. Pegrum confirmed with Ms. Woods that a requirement of the previous approval was that a barrier or fence be erected along that property line in order to prevent disputes surrounding the shed access. Ms. Kaestner read the resolution for denial of the application. Mr. Pegrum gave Committee members the opportunity to comment on the resolution. Committee member Alan Revill stated that he was not going to support the resolution, as he believes having a livestock facility in the hamlet has the potential to create conflict, particularly if there is further development in the community. He stated that approving the proposal would allow the retained lands to continue to be farmed, and continue to have potential for development while eliminating the ability to house livestock in the existing barn. Committee member Norm Roberts inquired about the various conditions that were associated with the previous approval. Ms. Woods stated that she did not present conditions as she was recommending denial of the application, however, she compiled a list of recommended conditions that the Committee should include if they are considering approving the application. Ms. Woods presented these conditions to the Committee. There was discussion amongst Committee members and staff regarding the process to satisfy the condition for Change of Use related to the livestock facility on the severed lands. The resolution for denial was defeated. Mr. Revill put forth a motion to approve the application, subject to the conditions that were presented to the Committee.

Committee members were provided an opportunity to ask questions about the proposal. Mr. Revill inquired as to whether the watercourse ran year round or if was seasonal. Mr. Herrewynen replied that the flow of the watercourse was periodic, but that it still met the definition of a watercourse under the provisions of the Zoning By-Law. Kate Kaestner, Planning Clerk & Secretary-Treasurer of the Committee read the resolution for approval of the application. There were no comments from Committee members regarding the motion.

Mr. Pegrum inquired as to whether the applicant or their agent wished to address the Committee. The applicant, Dylan Burgess participating via Zoom, commended Ms. Woods’ presentation of the proposal and stated that he mistakenly believed his contractor had obtained the necessary building permit for the garage when it was constructed. Mr. Burgess stated that the garage was built to store his tractor and equipment, and he believes that the garage and shipping containers on his property would be consistent with many properties in the surrounding area.

Application for Minor Variance PL-ZNA-2026-0012 Neil & Heidi Weitzman 305 Hillcrest Lane, South Frontenac ARN 1029 0100 5029 6000 0000

Dear Ms. Kaestner, The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has received the above noted application and have reviewed it within the context of: • • •

Section 5.2 Natural Hazards of the Provincial Planning Statement under Section 3 of the Planning Act; Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act; The Mississippi-Rideau Source Water Protection Plan;

The Proposal Based on the circulated materials, RVCA understands this application requests permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming cottage, setback approximately 14.3 m from Burridge Lake. The application proposes to replace the existing 93 m2 cottage and 73 m2 attached deck with a 220 m2 dwelling within a similar footprint with attached decks and walkways/retaining walls.

Page 26 of 87

The Property The subject lands are described as Part Lot 23 Concession 7 Bedford, municipally known as 305 Hillcrest Lane in the Township of South Frontenac. The lands are approximately 2.5 ha (6.2 ac) in size, with over 400 m (1300 ft) of waterfrontage along Burridge Lake. The lands generally slope down towards the shoreline and are presently developed with an existing dwelling, accessory structures, and private servicing. A review of our records and mapping shows the presence of Michael’s Creek Marsh, a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) on the northern and western portions of the property, away from the existing and proposed development. A review of our records and mapping shows that there are no other mapped natural hazards in the form of mapped floodplain, steep slopes, or unstable soils present on the subject lands. Provincial Planning Statement Regarding Section 5.2 Natural Hazards within the PPS, our office has no major concerns with the requested minor variance as there are no mapped natural hazards identified on the subject lands. Ontario Regulation 41/24 As development activity and/or site alteration is proposed within RVCA’s regulated area (within 15 metres of a watercourse/waterbody), a permit from our office will be required prior to construction in accordance with Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits. Source Water Protection The subject property is identified as overlying a highly vulnerable aquifer. These are aquifers that are vulnerable to surface contaminants due to thin or absent soils overlying bedrock that may be fractured. Where these conditions exist, it may be possible for contaminants to enter drinking groundwater supplies. For this reason, care should be taken to avoid land uses and practices that may inadvertently lead to undesirable effects on groundwater. Some best practices that could be considered include: • • • • •

increased well casing depths, increased distance of septic systems from drinking water wells, ensuring septic systems are located downgradient of wells, ensuring that wells and septic systems are properly maintained, avoiding the use of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.

Conclusion RVCA has no objections to the proposed minor variance application, subject to the owner obtaining a permit from our office under Ontario Regulation 41/24. RVCA also provides the following advisory comment for consideration: • Roof runoff should be collected and directed on-site and away from slopes and shorelines into natural or constructed leaching pits and/or rain barrels to provide the greatest infiltration of surface runoff. Runoff should not outlet or be directed towards the lake. Other Low Impact Development (LID) techniques should be considered to address runoff from hardened surfaces (roofs, walkways, decks, driveways, etc). Please advise us on the Committee’s decision respecting this application, or any changes in the status of the application. Best regards,

Subject:

Application for Permission to Enlarge Legal Non-Conforming Use PL-ZNA-2026-0012, Weitzman (Hall), 305 Hillcrest Lane, Bedford District

Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming house under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, subject to conditions. Background The Township Official Plan (2025) designates the subject property as Rural, except for a wetland at the north end that is designated Environmental Protection. Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended, zones the property as Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW). The property is accessed off Hillcrest Lane. It has waterfrontage on Burridge Lake. The property is 6.2 acres in size. There is a cottage with attached deck and a sleeping cabin on the property. The cottage was constructed in the 1970s. The cottage with attached deck is located on a point of land, so its distance to the highwater mark varies. It is 14 metres from the highwater mark at its closest point. The house is one storey on a post foundation. It is less than 6 metres tall. It has a 1009 square foot floor area based on the Existing Elevations & Footprint drawing. There is approximately 535 square feet of attached decking. The overall footprint of the building is equivalent to 0.7% lot coverage. The sewage system is constructed into the hill behind the cottage. 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. Section 5.11 has similar language for replacement buildings. These provisions prohibit the enlargement of the existing cottage on the subject property without permission from the Committee of Adjustment. Proposal The owners seek permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge the legal non-conforming cottage. The owners propose to demolish the cottage and to construct a year-round home in its place. The new house would have a slightly larger footprint and www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Page 29 of 87

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2026-0012

height. The new one-storey house is anticipated to be 9.5 metres tall. It would be 1995 square feet and have a walkout basement. There would be a 210 square foot deck and a 192 square foot covered patio. A switchback walkway is proposed on the north side of the house to provide access to the waterfront area. The sewage system would be replaced. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any other applications under the Planning Act. Department and Agency Comments Rideau Valley Conservation Authority said that they have no objection to the application. They noted that a permit will be required under Ontario Regulation 41/24. They recommended that roof runoff should be collected and directed on-site and away from slopes and shorelines into natural or constructed leaching pits and/or rain barrels to provide the greatest infiltration of surface runoff. Runoff should not outlet or be directed towards the lake. They also recommended the owner consider other low impact development (LID) techniques to address runoff from hardened surfaces. Public Comments The Township did not receive any public comments at the time staff prepared this report. Planning Analysis Through its powers under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to enlarge the house. The accepted criteria for considering such a request are: • whether the proposal is desirable for the appropriate development of the subject property, and • whether the proposal will result in undue adverse impacts on surrounding properties and the neighbourhood. Section 3.11 of the Township Official Plan (2025) lists criteria to be used in assessing the appropriateness and impact of proposed development. These criteria include maintaining or increasing the highwater mark setback of buildings and sewage systems, considering the scale and massing of buildings, limiting site alteration, maximizing natural shoreline vegetation, and considering visual impact when viewed from the water. The proposed house would meet the applicable criteria as described below. The subject property is large at 6.2 acres. However, approximately half of it is floodplain and wetland. The property is less than 60 metres deep and its topography limits where buildings can be located at least 30 metres from Burridge Lake. The new house and attached deck would be on the same general footprint of the existing cottage, and would maintain the existing 14 metre setback from the highwater mark at its closest point. The setback would increase up to 4 metres in some directions. The new house would be 1995 square feet in area, which is larger than the 1009 square foot area of the old cottage. The new deck and covered patio would have a total area of 402 www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Page 30 of 87

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2026-0012

square feet, which is less than the existing 535 square feet of attached decking. Overall, the building/structure footprint would increase by 582 square feet. The building height will increase because of a steeper pitched roof and the walkout basement. Visual impact of the proposed building when viewed from the water can be addressed through multiple means. First, through thoughtful choice of exterior building materials, as suggested by the submitted drawings. Second, using fill and landscaping on either side of the building to help it blend with the hill behind it. And finally, through the introduction and maintenance of natural vegetation (i.e. trees and shrubs) between the building and the shoreline. 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 house on the property, as described in this report. Notice/Consultation The Township gave Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing per 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

The Township also provided notice on its website. Recommendation Staff recommend that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, approve application PL-ZNA-2026-0012 for 305 Hillcrest Lane to permit the owner to replace the legal non-conforming dwelling with a larger dwelling with attached decks that would be setback 14 metres from the highwater mark of Burridge Lake at its closest point. The new dwelling shall have a maximum 9.5 metre building height, and a maximum 1995 square foot gross floor area plus a basement. The dwelling may have a 210 square foot deck and a 192 square foot covered patio. Approval should be subject to the following conditions:

The property shall be developed to be generally consistent with the submitted Proposed Plot Plan (E.R. Trought Desing Inc., Drawing A6, dated March 2, 2026) and building elevation drawings (E.R. Trought Desing Inc., Drawing A2, dated March 2, 2026).

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2026-0012

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 Burridge Lake and/or discharged to natural or constructed leaching pits/areas to maximize infiltration or onto coarse rock rubble splash pads to reduce the velocity of runoff before it enters the lake. c. A healthy buffer of native vegetation must be established and maintained between the house and the lake to ensure long-term erosion avoidance and slope stability. To this end, the owner shall be required to prepare and implement a shoreline naturalization planting plan to create a natural vegetated buffer within at least 10 metres of the highwater mark of Burridge Lake. The plan shall be submitted to the Township prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit under the Ontario Building Code for the new house. The plan shall be implemented within 6 months of the occupancy permit being issued.
At the building permit stage and prior to construction of the house footings, the owner shall have the location of the building pinned and its setbacks from the highwater mark confirmed to be compliant with the permission granted by the Committee of Adjustment, through the submission of a letter of verification by an Ontario Land Surveyor, to the satisfaction of the Township’s Chief Building Official or their designate.

Application for Minor Variance PL-ZNA-2026-0023 Dan Severn & Jenna Williamson, Myers Design + Build 102 Nightingale Lane, South Frontenac ARN 1029 0300 2074 5000 0000

Dear Ms. Kaestner, The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has received the above noted application and have reviewed it within the context of: • • •

The Proposal Based on the circulated materials, RVCA understands this application requests permission to construct a new detached dwelling and attached screen porch with a total footprint of approximately 90 m2 (960 ft2). The following variances are requested: • The minimum setback from the highwater mark of Bobs Lake from 30 m to 25 m • The minimum top of bank setback from 15 m to 6 m

Page 50 of 87

•

The minimum interior side yard setback from 5 m to 1.7 m

The Property The subject lands are described as Part Lot 32 Concession 6 Bedford, municipally known as 102 Nightingale Lane in the Township of South Frontenac. The lands are approximately 0.18 ha (0.77 ac) in size with 28 m (90 ft) of water frontage on Bob’s Lake, a waterbody under regulation with a regulated flood level of 163.07 masl. The lands are currently undeveloped but contain existing private servicing from previous uses. A review of our records and mapping shows this shoreline area sloping down towards the lake between a 3:1 and a 2:1 slope. Previous assessments of the slope in this area were completed, and it was determined that a 6 m erosion access allowance would be a suitable development setback from the stable top of slope here. A review of our records and mapping shows that there are no Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs) other mapped natural hazards in the form of mapped floodplain, or unstable soils present on the subject lands. Provincial Planning Statement Regarding Section 5.2 Natural Hazards within the PPS, development is to be directed away from areas which are impacted by natural hazards. Based on the size and layout of the subject lands, there does not appear to be many other opportunities to locate development elsewhere to increase the waterbody or top of slope setback. The proposed dwelling has included an erosion access allowance of 6 m for safe access, and as such our office is satisfied that the proposed development will not create or further aggravate any existing hazards. Ontario Regulation 41/24 Any development activity and/or site alteration within RVCA’s regulated area (within 15 metres of a watercourse/waterbody), a permit from our office will be required prior to construction in accordance with Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits. Depending on the nature of works, further geotechnical analysis may be needed to ensure erosion hazards are not being created or aggravated. Source Water Protection The subject property is identified as overlying a highly vulnerable aquifer. These are aquifers that are vulnerable to surface contaminants due to thin or absent soils overlying bedrock that may be fractured. Where these conditions exist, it may be possible for contaminants to enter drinking groundwater supplies. For this reason, care should be taken to avoid land uses and practices that may inadvertently lead to undesirable effects on groundwater. Some best practices that could be considered include:

• • • • •

Conclusion RVCA has no objections to the proposed minor variance application, though we do offer the following recommendations for consideration: •

•

A lot grading and drainage plan should be prepared demonstrating the location of the top of slope and the minimum 6 m setback from the top of slope. Sediment and erosion control measures should also be shown and established between the construction area and Bob’s Lake prior to initiation of work Roof runoff should be collected and directed on-site and away from slopes and shorelines into natural or constructed leaching pits and/or rain barrels to provide the greatest infiltration of surface runoff. Runoff should not outlet or be directed towards the lake. Other Low Impact Development (LID) techniques should be considered to address runoff from hardened surfaces (roofs, walkways, decks, driveways, etc). Vegetation should be maintained on slopes to limit erosion, and any additional structures or shoreline works shall minimize further disturbance to the vegetation cover along the slope Should any work be undertaken along the shoreline of Bobs Lake, permits from RVCA would be required in accordance with Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits.

Please advise us on the Committee’s decision respecting this application, or any changes in the status of the application. Best regards,

Minor Variance Application PL-ZNA-2026-0023 (Severn) 102 Nightingale Lane, Bedford District

Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of the subject application for zoning relief for: (a) the minimum setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody, (b) the minimum setback from the top of bank of an embankment with a slope greater than 30%, and (c) the minimum setbacks from the front and interior lot line to permit a new dwelling and enclosed screen porch, subject to conditions, as this application meets the four tests of a minor variance outlined in section 45(1) of the Planning Act. Background The subject property is designated Rural in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan (2025). The property is zoned Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended. The subject property is approximately 0.18 hectares (0.44 acres) in area, has waterfrontage on Bobs Lake to the north-west, and is accessed via a private lane (Nightingale Lane), which bisects the property midway. This portion of Bobs Lake is not identified as an ‘atcapacity’ lake trout lake. A site visit was conducted on March 25, 2026. The central portion of the subject property, where the two-storey dwelling with attached one-storey screened porch is proposed, consists of a lightly treed plateau that slopes upward from Nightingale Lane before sloping steeply downward to Bobs Lake to the north-west. The slope of the waterside embankment is more than 30% from horizontal and is heavily treed/vegetated. There is one (1) existing structure (9-square metre shed) on the subject property, which is proposed to be removed, as well as an existing sewage system and well, which are to remain. Proposal The owners propose to construct a two-storey dwelling and attached screened porch with a total footprint of approximately 90 square metres (963 sq. ft.), equivalent to approximately 5% lot coverage. Based on the submitted site plan, the existing Class 4 sewage system, www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Page 54 of 87

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2026-0023

consisting of both a septic tank and leaching bed, is located more than 30 metres (100 ft.) from the highwater mark of Bobs Lake as well as more than 15 metres (50 ft.) from the identified top of bank. Zoning Relief Requested The applicant is seeking the following variances to the Zoning By-law: •

Section 5.8.2 a. – to reduce the setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody (Bobs Lake) from 30 metres (100 ft.) to a minimum of 25 metres (82 ft.) for a building.

•

Section 5.8.2 b. – to reduce the setback from the top of bank of any embankment, the slope of which is greater than 30% from horizontal, from 15 metres (49.2 ft.) to a minimum of 6 metres (20 ft.) for a building.

•

Section 10.3.1 - to reduce the western front yard setback from 30 metres (100 ft.) to a minimum of 25 metres (82 ft.) for a principal building in the Limited Services Residential – Waterfront Zone (RLSW).

•

Section 10.3.1 – to reduce the southern interior side yard setback from 3 metres (9.8 ft.) to 1.7 metres (5.7 ft.) for a principal building in the Limited Services Residential – Waterfront Zone (RLSW).

•

Section 10.3.1 - to reduce the setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody (Bobs Lake) from 30 metres (100 ft.) to a minimum of 25 metres (82 ft.) for a principal building in the Limited Services Residential – Waterfront Zone (RLSW).

Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act. Department and Agency Comments The subject application was circulated to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA), who advised that they have no objections to the proposed variances. Public Comments The Township did not receive any public comments at the time staff prepared 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:

www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Page 55 of 87

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2026-0023

Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The proposed variances would facilitate the construction of a single detached dwelling on lands designated Rural in the Official Plan 2025. The type and amount of development on rural lands must maintain the rural character, natural heritage and cultural landscape of the Township. Section 3.10(d) of the Official Plan states that new development shall be setback a minimum of 30 metres (100 ft.) from the highwater mark of a waterbody or watercourse. Further to this, Section 3.10(g) states that reductions to this setback may be considered for existing lots of record where it is not physically possible to meet the requirement. The intent of these sections is to minimize environmental and visual impacts by preventing erosion, to maintain a natural appearance along the shoreline of lakes and watercourses, to limit the removal of trees and vegetation, and to ensure that development is located outside of natural hazard areas. The opportunity to locate the proposed dwelling outside of the 30-metre (100 ft.) setback from the highwater mark is limited by site constraints such as the location of the existing sewage system, the location of the Nightingale Lane right-of-way, and the desire to retain trees and vegetation within the south -east portion of the property. The dwelling is proposed on a previously cleared portion of the property and will be partially buried in the landward slope of the central ridge in order to minimize site alteration within the highwater mark setback area. Retaining the ecological integrity of the slope surface will ensure sufficient screening by existing trees and other vegetation thereby retaining the low-density, natural character of the Bobs Lake shoreline. Section 5.2.1.1(a) of the Official Plan states that setbacks will be imposed from steep slopes and erosion hazards relative to the extent of severity of the hazard, in consultation with the appropriate Conservation Authority. A Slope Stability Assessment was undertaken by a Qualified Professional in January 2019 in association with the proposed development of 92 Nightingale Lane to the immediate north of the subject property (File No.: MV-26-18-B). The report, which was reviewed and accepted by the RVCA, recommended a 6-metre (20 ft.) setback from the identified top of bank. As the subject application proposes a similar 6-metre (20 ft.) top of bank setback to the same slope, the RVCA is satisfied that the proposed development will not create or further aggravate any existing natural hazard. The owner will be required to enter into a Development Agreement with the Township to ensure that the existing vegetation on the embankment will be maintained to limit potential erosion. Any future shoreline works would be subject to Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits and may require further geotechnical analysis. It is the opinion of Township Planning staff that the proposed variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Page 56 of 87

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2026-0023

Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? Section 5.8.2 of the Zoning By-law requires that no buildings, structures or septic tank installation shall be located within 30 metres (100 ft.) horizontal of the highwater mark of a waterbody or permanent watercourse or within 15 metres (50 ft.) of the top of bank of any embankment, the slope of which is greater than 30% from horizontal. Section 10.3.1 of the Zoning By-law, which regulates the placement of the principal building (i.e., seasonal dwelling or single detached dwelling) on an RLSW Zone lot, requires a minimum front yard setback of 30 metres (100 ft.), a minimum interior side yard setback of 3 metres (10 ft.) and a minimum setback of 30 metres (100 ft.) from the highwater mark of a body of water. Per Section 3 “Definitions” of the Zoning By-law in the case of a lot with frontage on a private lane and navigable waterway the lot line between the waterway and the lot shall be deemed the front lot line. As the highwater mark of Bobs Lake constitutes the front lot line of the subject property a variance is required to accommodate the proposed principal building (dwelling). As previously noted, the highwater mark setback of the proposed dwelling has been maximized, taking into consideration the constraints of the subject site and that the existing sewage system is located outside both the highwater mark and top of bank setbacks. The RVCA is satisfied that the proposed 6-metre (20 ft.) top of bank setback will not create or further aggravate any existing natural hazards. The reduction to the southern interior side yard setback is required to maintain the functional layout of the proposed dwelling, eliminating the need for an angled or stepped corner at this location, and to ensure a minimum 5-metre (16.5 ft.) setback between the proposed building and the existing sewage system. The existing dwelling to the immediate south, at 104 Nightingale Lane, is setback 3 metres (10 ft.) from the shared interior lot line and no windows or other openings either exist or are proposed along these building facades thereby reducing any negative impacts related to overlook. The proposed dwelling would comply with all remaining zoning requirements, including setbacks from remaining lot lines, maximum building height, and maximum permitted lot coverage. It is the opinion of Township Planning staff that 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? The properties to the north-east and south-west contain existing single detached dwellings with attached decks of a similar size and are setback in approximately the same location as that proposed on the subject site. Furthermore, in considering the proposed location of the www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Page 57 of 87

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2026-0023

dwelling and the physical constraints of the subject property, the reduced setbacks to the highwater mark, top of bank and interior side (south) yard are appropriate. Is the variance minor? It is the opinion of staff that the requested variances are minor as they maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Furthermore, the variances are desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land and there are no anticipated negative impacts on the surrounding area or lake in association with the proposal. 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.

In addition, notice was posted on the Township website.

b. Roof runoff will be directed away from Bobs Lakes and its associated embankment 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. Low Impact Development (LID) techniques should be considered to address runoff from hardened surfaces (roofs, walkways, decks, driveways, etc.). c. A natural vegetated buffer must be maintained in its natural state within 30 metres of Bobs Lake and along the steep slope, except in the immediate area of the proposed development envelope and existing stairway structure. Any future stairway structure installed on the property shall minimize disturbance to the vegetative cover of on the slope surface. 3. At the building permit stage and prior to construction of the dwelling footings, the owner shall have the proposed location of the building pinned and its setbacks from the highwater mark, top of bank and interior side (south) yard confirmed to be compliant with the permission granted by Committee of Adjustment, through the submission of a letter of verification by an Ontario Land Surveyor, to the satisfaction of the Township’s Chief Building Official or their designate.

Application for Minor Variance PL-ZNA-2026-0024 Aqua Bats Investment Corporation 4007 Westport Road, South Frontenac ARN 1029 0100 1008 5000 0000

Dear Ms. Kaestner, The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has received the above noted application and have reviewed it within the context of: • • •

The Proposal Based on the circulated materials, RVCA understands this application seeks to enlarge an existing legal non-conforming use within the 30m waterbody setback. An addition to the existing seasonal cottage is proposed on the non-shoreline side of the dwelling.

Page 79 of 87

The Property The subject lands are described as Part Lot 19 Concession 9 Bedford, municipally known as 4007 Westport Road in the Township of South Frontenac. The lands are approximately 2.26 ha (5.6 ac) in area with water frontage along Wolfe Lake. The lands generally slope down towards the shoreline and are presently developed with an existing seasonal dwellings, accessory structures, and private servicing. A review of our records and mapping shows the presence of the Wolfe Lake Complex adjacent to the lands, a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) with a regulated setback of 30 m. Due to the proximity of the wetland, there is potential for the area to contain unstable organic soil deposits. A review of our records and mapping shows no other mapped natural hazards in the form of mapped floodplain or steep slopes. Provincial Planning Statement Regarding Section 5.2 Natural Hazards within the PPS, our office has no major concerns with the requested minor variance as it does not impact any mapped natural hazards identified on the subject lands. Ontario Regulation 41/24 Any development activity and/or site alteration proposed within RVCA’s regulated area (within 15 metres of a watercourse/waterbody, or 30m from a Provincially Significant Wetland) will require a permit from our office prior to construction in accordance with Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits. Source Water Protection The subject property is identified as overlying a highly vulnerable aquifer. These are aquifers that are vulnerable to surface contaminants due to thin or absent soils overlying bedrock that may be fractured. Where these conditions exist, it may be possible for contaminants to enter drinking groundwater supplies. For this reason, care should be taken to avoid land uses and practices that may inadvertently lead to undesirable effects on groundwater. Some best practices that could be considered include: • • • • •

Conclusion RVCA has no objections to the proposed minor variance application, subject to the owner obtaining a permit from our office under Ontario Regulation 41/24 prior to construction. RVCA also provides the following advisory comments for consideration: • Roof runoff should be collected and directed on-site and away from slopes and shorelines into natural or constructed leaching pits and/or rain barrels to provide the greatest infiltration of surface runoff. Runoff should not outlet or be directed towards the lake. Other Low Impact Development (LID) techniques should be considered to address runoff from hardened surfaces (roofs, walkways, decks, driveways, etc). • Geotechnical expertise may be needed for proposed development on the lands to address organic soil hazards if found during the building permit stage, to ensure foundations have suitable bearing support. Please advise us on the Committee’s decision respecting this application, or any changes in the status of the application. Best regards,

Subject:

Application for Permission to Enlarge Legal Non-Conforming Use PL-ZNA2026-0023 (Aqua Bats) 4007 Westport Road, Bedford District

Summary The report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application for permission to enlarge a legal non -conforming tourist cabin under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act, subject to conditions. Background The subject property is designated Rural in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan (2025). The property is zoned Special Recreational Resort Commercial Zone (RRC-28) in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended, which permits a tourist establishment consisting of no more than seven (7) tourist cabins, a communal sewage disposal system as well as accessory buildings or structures. The subject property is approximately 2.4 hectares (5.7 acres) in area with frontage on both Wolfe Lake and its associated provincially significant wetland to the east and on Westport Road to the immediate south. The existing development consists of seven (7) tourist cabins and accessory buildings constructed between 1948 and 1999. They are clustered along the east lot line, abutting Wolfe Lake. The remaining central and western portions of the subject property are heavily treed. The RRC-28 zone does not permit the existing tourist cabins within 30 metres of the highwater mark to be extended or enlarged. Similarly, Section 5.10.2 of the Zoning By-law states that existing buildings with less than the minimum 30-metre (100 ft.) setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody or watercourse may be repaired, renovated, or strengthened to a safe condition provided there is no enlargement of the gross floor area or increase in height. Proposal The subject application applies only to the southern-most tourist cabin (see Site Plan), which has a gross floor area of 53 square metres (570 sq.ft.) as well as a 14-square metre (151 sq.ft.) screened porch and 43-square metre (460 sq.ft.) attached deck. The existing

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2026-0024

tourist cabin is one-storey on a post foundation with a height of 5.0 metres (16.5 ft.). It is approximately 3.9 metres (13 ft.) from highwater mark of Wolf Lake at the closest point. The applicant is proposing to demolish an existing 11.5-square metre (123 sq.ft.) addition to the original 44-square metre (480 sq.ft.) tourist cabin, as well as approximately 10 square metres of the attached deck, and construct a 22-square metre (236 sq.ft.) addition with an additional 11 square metres (120 sq.ft.) of attached deck to the north side of the building. The height of the proposed addition would be 5.0 metres (16.5 ft.). As the proposal would result in an overall increase of the gross floor area of approximately 10.5 square metres (113 sq.ft) the applicant is seeking permission under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge the existing legal non -conforming tourist cabin as both RCC-28 Zone and Section 5.10.2 of the Zoning By-law prohibits the enlargement of existing buildings that are less than the required 30-metre (100 ft.) setback from the highwater mark of Wolfe Lake. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act. Department and Agency Comments A permit for the proposed development activity has been issued by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority under Ontario Regulation 41/24 on the condition that sediment and erosion controls be established to ensure no sediment migration into Wolfe Lake and that all construction debris and/or excavated materials shall be disposed of at a suitable off-site disposal location outside of any floodplain, wetland or regulated area. Rideau Valley Conservation Authority have confirmed that they have no objections to the request to enlarge a legal non-conforming use on the subject property under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act. Public Comments The Township did not receive any public comments at the time staff prepared this report. Planning Analysis Per Section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to expand the existing tourist cabin in the manner identified in this report. The criteria for considering an application under Section 45(2) of the Act are: • •

Whether the application is desirable for the appropriate development of the subject property; and Whether the application will result in undue adverse impacts on surrounding properties and the neighbourhood.

It is the opinion of staff that the application is desirable for the appropriate development of the subject property as it would permit the continued operation of the existing tourist www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

establishment as well as improve the functionality this tourist cabin in particular, which is the last cabin on the site to be updated. Staff also believe that the application is unlikely to cause undue adverse impacts to surrounding properties or the neighbourhood. While the proposal will result in an overall increase to the gross floor area of one of the existing tourist cabins, no changes are proposed for any of the remaining buildings or structures. The location of the proposed addition is within an interior area of the subject property that is currently used for tourist accommodation purposes and will not result in any reduction to the existing highwater setback from Wolfe Lake or its associated wetland. The property is subject to a Site Plan Control Agreement, dated January 2, 1996. It is the opinion of Township Planning staff that the agreement would not need to be amended because the changes, as proposed, are minor in nature. 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; and by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies.

In addition, notice was posted on the Township website. Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public, and, pending comments received, approve application PL-ZNA-2026-0024 for 4007 Westport Road to permit the legal non -conforming tourist cabin to be enlarged as described in this report. Approval should be subject to the following conditions:

The proposal/location of the building, etc. must be generally consistent with the submitted plot plan, floor plan and elevations (December 11, 2025, revised March 25, 2026), which will be attached to the decision as a schedule.
At the building permit stage and prior to the commencement of construction, the owner shall confirm that the new structure (or part of the structure) does not encroach within 1.5 metres (5 ft.) from the existing hold tank to the immediate north of the subject building.
