August 4, 2023 Noah Perron, Planner Township of South Frontenac 4432 George St., Box 100 Sydenham, ON K0H 2T0 Dear Mr. Perron: Re: Consent Application 1048 Shallow Lane, Sydenham, ON We are the agent for Jewel Denison and Kenneth Deroche with respect to the proposed severance outlined below. The lands subject to the Consent application are municipally known as 1048 Shallow Lane and legally described as follows: PT LT 5 CON 5 LOUGHBOROUGH PTS 1-4, 13R5772, EXCEPT PTS 1-10, 15 & 21, 13R19730, S/T FR769662 PARTIALLY RELEASED BY FR780543 & FR781137, T/W FR769662, S/T FR769456, FR769457, FR769458 & FR769459, FR780544, FR780545, FR781141; SOUTH FRONTENAC The subject lands are approximately 4.5 acres (1.82 ha) in area and are bound by Sydenham Lake and seasonal residential properties to the north and other residential properties to the south, east, and west. The subject lands are currently developed with a detached dwelling as well as a seasonal dwelling (cottage), and various accessory structures. The purpose of the Consent application is to create one (1) new lot and one (1) retained lot on the subject property as identified on the enclosed Severance Sketch. The lands that are proposed to be severed are approximately 1.82 acres (.74 ha) in area and have access from Shallow Lane, a private right-of-way. The lands proposed to be retained are approximately 6.28 acres (1.09 ha) in area and have access Dusty Lane, also a private right-of-way. The existing detached dwelling is within the lands to be severed, whereas the existing seasonal dwelling (cottage) is within the lands to be retained. The owners plan to enlarge the cottage by way of an addition at its rear (non waterfront side). Section 1.1.5 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) concerns development on rural lands, and provides that municipalities should direct residential development and lot creation that is locally appropriate. Section 1.1.5 also provides that development shall be compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels. The proposed development is lot creation by way of the Consent process and the resultant parcels will continue to be serviced by private water and wastewater systems. Specifically, the lands to be severed contain an existing well and septic system; the lands to be retained are currently serviced by lake water and will have wastewater servicing by way of a proposed septic system (as illustrated on the enclosed Severance Sketch).

As per section 10.2 of the Zoning By-law, seasonal and single detached dwellings are permitted uses in the RLSW zone. Section 10.3.1 of the Zoning By-law requires that lots have a minimum area of 10,000 square metres and a minimum private lane frontage of 75 metres. Further to discussions with Township Staff, relief from the Zoning By-law to address the above and any other zoning deficiencies will be required as a condition of provisional Consent.

However, we do have concerns over the supporting drawing completed on 2002 Oct.2. It does not show several important changes that have occurred in subsequent years. A parking allotment was established for the use of properties at the end of Dusty Lane. It is not shown on the supporting drawing. Also, the right of way was changed to run from the right had corner of 1022 Dusty Lane rather than straight down through 1024 Dusty Lane. For the benefit of the existing owners of the property to be severed, and for future owners of the severed properties, these changes need to be accurately documented on the supporting drawing. We would like the supporting drawing updated and corrected before the severance meeting occurs.

Noah Just recently I became aware of the public posting that the neighbour of 1048 shallow lane has applied for severance of his property the water frontage from the main dwelling . The dwelling in question is basically a cabana, in which was raised last fall to put a basement under it without anyone’s knowledge, inside has no running water or even a tile bed . With the concern that it may be turned into commercial use for her business or rental purposes in an area that is zoned residential , which means more traffic on the road that he does not maintain , as well any changes has to take into consideration the underground spring that feeds Sydenham lake only 10 feet away from the dwelling which houses different wildlife through the year. As once the previous owners has attempted such changes and upgrades was declined (Brian &Jean Reed) years back because of the distance from the water to the dwelling……just too close taking into the environmental impact on the lake that is already battered to it’s use . Please keep in touch and I have not received any letter from your office pertaining to this matter .

Dear Mr. Perron: Re:
Application for Consent to Sever PL-BDJ-2023-0103 (Deroche) Pt Lot 5, Concession 5; 1048 Shallow Lane Loughborough District, Township of South Frontenac Waterbody: Sydenham Lake
Staff of the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) have reviewed the above-noted application for consent to sever and offer the following comments for the Land Division Committee’s consideration, based on our role as a commenting agency responsible for natural hazards on Planning Act applications, and as administrator of Ontario Regulation 148/06: Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. Summary of the Proposal This application involves the severance of an approximately 0.74 ha (1.83 acre) developed residential lot from an existing developed shoreline residential property. The retained lot would be approximately 1.09 ha (2.69 acres) and is proposed to continue to be used for residential purposes. The severed lot will also continue to be used for residential purposes. The severed lot will not have waterfrontage on Sydenham Lake and the retained lot will maintain water access and waterfrontage on Sydenham Lake. Site Description The subject lands are located to the north of Rutledge Road and Shallow Lane along the southern shore of Sydenham Lake in South Frontenac Township. The severed parcel is proposed in the western portion of the subject lands and currently contains a residential dwelling. Dusty Lane, a private laneway, provides access through the subject lands to existing residential developments along Sydenham Lake. The shoreline bordering the subject lands consists of gradually sloping lands that rise to the north towards Dusty Lane. The retained lot is densely covered in mature trees
Page 34 of 174
Page 2 of 3 and vegetation growth and the severed lot consists of cleared lawn areas with mature trees scattered throughout. There is currently a seasonal dwelling on the retained lot. The subject lands are designated ‘Rural’ per Schedule A of the Township’s Official Plan and are zoned ‘Limited Service Waterfront Residential’ (RLSW) in the implementing Zoning By-law. Sydenham Lake is zoned ‘Environmental Protection’ (EP) in the implementing Zoning By-law. Discussion CRCA’s scope of review with respect to this application is the avoidance of natural hazards (e.g. flooding and erosion) associated with the shoreline of Sydenham Lake and surface water features. Natural Hazards / Ontario Regulation 148/06 Flooding: The regulatory flood plain of Sydenham Lake is defined as an elevation of 131.6 m GSC. Cataraqui Conservation’s Guidelines for Implementing Ontario Regulation 148/06 (see description below) require all buildings and structures to be set back a minimum of 6 metres from a flood plain. Staff are satisfied that there is room on both the severed and retained lots for development to meet this requirement. Erosion: CRCA, in accordance with provincial technical standards, defines the extent of potential erosion hazards along the shoreline of Sydenham Lake to include an allowance for toe erosion, a stable slope allowance for till shorelines of 3(h):1(v) and 1(h):1(v) for rock, plus an erosion access allowance of 6 metres. As proposed, the severed lot, which is already developed, will be sufficiently sized to accommodate future development well outside the extent of the erosion hazard associated with Sydenham Lake. While the majority of the retained lot consists of gradually sloping lands, staff have concluded that there is sufficient area on the retained lot to contain a suitable building envelope outside the extent of the erosion hazard associated with the shoreline. Surface Water Features: The Township’s Official Plan identifies a watercourse along the eastern border of the subject lands. While the feature is not mapped according to CRCA’s mapping database, LiDAR elevation mapping indicates that there is a valley feature in this area, which may convey drainage from the wetlands located to the southeast, and outlet to Sydenham Lake. If there is a confirmed regulated watercourse in this area, CRCA requires a minimum 30 metre buffer (setback) horizontal from the highwater mark for any new development. The 30 metre setback is consistent with the 30 metre setback in the Township’s zoning by-law. This setback provides a buffer to protect the hydrologic function of the watercourse and to avoid damaging flooding of property and erosion normally associated with these features. Staff have concluded that there is sufficient area on the retained lot to accommodate future development outside the applicable 30 metre setback from the watercourse, if a watercourse is

Page 3 of 3 confirmed on site. Additional investigation may be required at the building permit stage, if future development (i.e. to install the proposed septic system) is proposed in this area. Overall, staff have no concerns from a natural hazards and regulatory perspective. Recommendation Staff have no objection to the approval of application PL-BDJ-2023-0103 based on our consideration for natural hazard and regulatory policies. 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. Current and future landowners are advised to contact CRCA before considering any work within 15 metres of the flooding and erosion hazards associated with Sydenham Lake or within 30 metres of the valley feature on the subject lands. Please inform this office of any decision made by the Committee with regard to these applications. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at 613-546-4228 ext. 239, or by e-mail at jtreash@crca.ca.

Department and Agency Comments Cataraqui Conservation provided comment on September 21, 2023. Staff cited no objection to the approval of the consent application. Further, CRCA staff noted that current and future landowners are advised to contact CRCA before considering any work within 15m of the flooding hazard and erosion hazard associated with Sydenham Lake or within 30m of the valley feature on the subject property.
Public Comments Comments were received from one member of the public. The abutting property owner did not object to the severance but outlined some concerns they had. The cited concerns were related to the condition of the seasonal dwelling, the use of the severed lands and possible environmental impacts. Township Planning Staff reviewed the submitted comments and provided an email response to the resident addressing their questions and concerns. Staff received no further comments from abutting property owner.
Planning Analysis The Provincial Policy Statement 2020 and the County Official Plan (Section 3.3) permit residential development on Rural lands. The Township Official Plan also permits residential development in the Rural designation. Section 5.7.7 of the Official Plan indicates that a maximum three limited service waterfront 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. Apart from three lot additions, conveyed in 2009, there have been no previous severances from the subject property since the adoption of the Official Plan in September of 2000. The severed parcel would contain the existing four-season dwelling. The dwelling would continue to be accessed from Shallow Lane. The severed parcel would be 2.0 acres in size, with 20m frontage on Shallow Lane. It is not possible to increase the amount of frontage on Shallow Lane, as this reflects existing conditions. The severed parcel would no longer have frontage on Sydenham Lake. The limited service residential policies of the Township Official Plan do not permit development on existing private roads which would have the effect of creating new lots without water frontage on a private road which services primarily waterfront residential developments. Shallow Lane currently provides access to four limited service residential properties, with only the subject lands having waterfrontage. Therefore, Shallow Lane primarily services non-waterfront limited service residential uses. Additionally, the general consent policies of the Official Plan permit severances on land holdings with more than one detached dwelling in existence at the time of adoption of the Plan. It is recommended that the severed lands be rezoned from Limited Service Residential –

Waterfront (RLSW) to Limited Service Residential (LSR) to acknowledge the lack of waterfrontage, as a condition of consent approval. The retained parcel would contain the existing seasonal dwelling. The seasonal dwelling is located approximately 9.5m from the highwater mark of Sydenham Lake. The retained parcel would be 2.5 acres in size, with 23m of waterfrontage, whereas the Official Plan requires 91 metres. Additionally, the retained parcel would not have frontage on a private lane, but would be accessed from Mozart Lane, which is off Sailors Cove Lane. It is not possible to increase the amount of frontage on the lake or on a lane, as this reflects existing conditions. The limited service residential policies of the Official Plan indicates that the Township may consider reductions to the minimum lot size and frontage requirements provided the overall intent of the Official Plan is maintained. The existing seasonal dwelling is one of two existing dwellings on the subject property. As previously described, the general consent policies of the Official Plan may allow severances on properties with two detached dwellings, to sever the additional dwelling. Additionally, it is recommended that the retained parcel be rezoned to a Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) special provision zone to recognize insufficient frontage on a waterbody and private laneway, as the retained parcel would otherwise contravene the related provisions of the Zoning By-law. Any future development proposed on the retained parcel would need to have consideration for the applicable Official Plan and Zoning By-law requirements and may require additional Planning Act applications. Shallow Lane, Dusty Lane and Mozart Lane are rights-of-way to separate properties and have been surveyed and consist of parts on a reference plan. It is recommended, as a condition of approval, that the lawyer for the owner shall submit the pertinent document to ensure legal deeded access is maintained for all dominant lands. The severed parcel and retained parcel both comply with the land division policies (section 7.1) of the Township Official Plan.
Conclusion The lands to be severed and the lands to be retained would be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, in conformity with the land division policies (Section 7.1) of the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, and will be in compliance with Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, subject to the standard condition of rezoning.
Notice/Consultation Notice of Application was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 14 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 www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Hello Noah, 2
Page 59 of 174
I looked at the property at the Sheridan’s today with Evan and the plot plan drawings were a bit of a head scratcher. We looked at the property bars we could find along Timmerman Road and also compared them to the attached plot plan by Annis O’Sullivan Vollebekk OLS. It looks almost certain that the driveable portion of Timmerman Road is fully within the rather narrow Part 5, Plan 13R-16585. The travel portion of the road is only about 3.5m wide. That made us wonder about the status of Part 4, Plan 13R-16585. When I look at the mapping in GIS, I am going to take a guess that the Township owns Parts 4 and 5 but that no Bylaw was ever passed on one or both of these to declare these as Public Highways. Can planning confirm the status of these two parts through Land Registry as it has bearing on how we should collectively view any minor variance. Timmerman Road will be physically widened to two lanes at some point in the future so we are trying to understand where that widening would go. If we own both parts, it would mean that construction of a wider road will have to be directed towards the south (east) – which puts it away from the garage. We did observe some major constraints that were justified for building:
Elevation of garage would be approximately 6 to 7 feet higher than the adjacent road Large granite rock outcrop north (west) of proposed garage location Septic field located immediately south (west) of proposed garage Large granite ridge north of the septic and cutting off access to other areas of the lot.
Lets chat on Tuesday.

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: November 9, 2023 Minor Variance Application (S. 45(1) of Planning Act) Subject: PL-ZNA-2023-0046, Sheridan, 144 Timmerman Road, Bedford District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this revised application for zoning relief for a new detached accessory structure, subject to conditions, as this application meets the four tests of a minor variance outlined in section 45(1) of the Planning Act.
Background Minor Variance application PL-ZNA-2023-0046 was previously presented to the Committee of Adjustment on June 8, 2023. Prior to the presentation, written comments were received from the abutting property owner, citing concerns related to the location of the proposed structure. Based on the comments received, Committee members deferred their decision to provide an opportunity for the applicant to revise their proposal. The application was presented for a second time on August 10, 2023. Following the circulation period, planning staff identified inconsistencies with the proposed front yard setback. Therefore, it was recommended that Committee members defer their decision until such time that the applicant had an Ontario Land Surveyor confirm the location of the front lot line and submit an acceptable sketch. Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Waterfront Residential Zone (RW) Zoning Relief Requested Section 8.3.2 – To permit a detached accessory structure to be setback 3.4m from the front lot line, whereas the Zoning By-law requires 20m.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0046, Sheridan, 144 Timmerman Road, Bedford District
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 at 0.84Ha in area with frontage on Timmerman Road and Sand Lake. Access is via driveway extending from Timmerman Road. Existing development consists of a 140.1sqm (1508sqft) two-storey single detached dwelling and a detached accessory structure (“bunkie house”). Topography varies slightly across the subject property. The entirety of the property is elevated from the travelled portion of Timmerman Road. The developed area, near the existing dwelling is relatively flat before sloping down towards the shoreline. Additionally, the property contains an exposed granite outcropping just to the north of the driveway, and a granite ridge extending to the west of the dwelling. The subject property is also densely covered with mature trees and vegetation growth. Finally, the property is located within an area characterized by similar waterfront residential developments. Summary of Proposal The applicant is proposing to construct a new 98.2sqm (1057sqft) detached garage/quilt room on the subject property. The proposed accessory structure is to be 3.4m from the front lot line. As such, the applicant is requesting relief from Zoning By-law 2003-75, in order to permit the proposed accessory structure to be setback less than 20m from the front lot line. Agency Comments Given the proximity of the proposed accessory structure to Timmerman Road, Public Services provided comments regarding the proposal. Public Services staff conducted a site visit to the subject property, and acknowledged existing constraints which would limit the ability to locate a compliant structure. Further, they confirmed that any future expansion to Timmerman Road would occur over the road allowance to the south, away from the proposed accessory structure. For these reason, Public Services cited no objection to the approval of the application. Public Comments Public comments were received from the abutting property owner for both the original and revised proposals. Originally, the owners of 138 Timmerman Road objected the approval of the application citing concerns related to the proximity of the proposed structure to their side lot line. When the revised proposal was presented on August 10, additional comments were received requesting clarification on the need for the subject property to be surveyed. Prior to www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.
Page 65 of 174
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2023-0046, Sheridan, 144 Timmerman Road, Bedford District
the updated proposal being presented on November 9, Township Planning Staff conducted a meeting with the owners of 138 Timmerman Road. At which time, Planning Staff provided clarity of the nature of the application and the minor variance process. No further comments have been received at this time. Therefore, Planning Staff assume the matter has been resolved. 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 the construction of a detached garage/quilt room on lands designated Rural on Schedule A of the Township Official Plan. The type and amount of development on rural lands must maintain the rural character, natural heritage, and cultural landscape in the Township. The proposed building is accessory to the permitted residential use of the property. It is the opinion of Township Planning staff that the proposed variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan, specifically the policies related to rural residential development. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? An accessory structure is a permitted use within the RW zone. The proposed garage/quilt room complies with all requirements of the Zoning By-law except the minimum setback from the front lot line. Section 8.3.2 of the Zoning By-law requires all structures to be setback a minimum of 20m from the front lot line. The purpose of this setback is to avoid an overdeveloped appearance near a roadway and to ensure the rural character of the area is maintained. Due to existing physical constraints, it would likely be difficult to build the proposed accessory structure in a compliant location. Specifically, the granite outcropping to the north of the driveway and the granite ridge to the west limit the location of the structure to front yard of the subject property. Moving the structure any further to the north or the west would require significant site alteration and could result in encroachment within 5m of the existing sewage system. Therefore, the proposed 3.4m setback results in the most appropriate location for the accessory structure while allowing it to be accessed from the existing driveway. The proposed location will be well screened from Timmerman Road by existing vegetation and a change in elevation. As such, Planning Staff are of the opinion that a reduction in front yard setback to 3.4m would not negatively affect the surrounding area and its rural character.

It is the opinion of Township staff that the proposed variance maintains 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 requested variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the land. The proposed location of the accessory structure will maximize functionality of the property as it will extend directly from the existing driveway. Further, the proposed location will minimize the amount of site alteration required to build the structure. Finally, the proposed accessory structure will be visually screened from Timmerman Road by an existing tree buffer and change in elevation. 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. Further, the requested variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the lands. It is anticipated that there will be no negative impact on surrounding properties as a result of the proposed garage/quilt room.
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 revised minor variance application PL-ZNA-20230046 for 144 Timmerman Road, subject to the following conditions.
- The minor variance is for a detached accessory structure. The minimum front yard setback for the accessory structure is permitted to be 3.4m (11.2ft). The location of the accessory structure on the property must be generally consistent with the sketch prepared by Annis, O’Sullivan, Vollebekk LTD., dated September 21, 2023.
- A building permit is required for ALL proposed construction and demolition on the property. There shall be no additional development on the property without the approval from the Township of South Frontenac.

Sent by E-mail Mr. Tom Fehr, Planner Township of South Frontenac P.O. Box 100 Sydenham, Ontario K0H 2T0 Dear Mr. Fehr: Re:
Application for Permission PL-ZNA-2023-0105 (Todd) Pt Lot 8, Concession 8; 5970 Bedford Road Loughborough District, Township of South Frontenac Waterbody: Cronk Lake
Cataraqui Conservation staff have reviewed the above-noted application for permission and provide the following comments for the Committee of Adjustment. Proposal The proposal involves a request for permission to enlarge an existing legal nonconforming use and structure. Specifically, the applicant is seeking to construct an addition by raising an existing building 9 feet and constructing a block foundation underneath, within the original footprint. The permission 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 5.5 metres to permit the construction of the addition.
Site Description The subject property is located on the east side of Bedford Road and has water frontage on Cronk Lake. The topography of the site can be characterized as a relatively low shoreline embankment that quickly levels out to a flat area where the existing development is located. The property is also located adjacent to the Cronk Lake Water Access Point owned by Cataraqui Conservation. There are young and mature trees interspersed throughout the lot. The property currently contains three dwellings and a detached shed. Staff visited the site on April 13, 2023. The property is currently designated as ‘Rural’ in the Official Plan and is zoned ‘Waterfront Residential’ (RW) in the Zoning By-law for South Frontenac Township. Page 1 of 4
Page 82 of 174
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 Cronk Lake. Natural Hazards / Ontario Regulation 148/06 Flooding: Cataraqui Conservation does not have floodplain mapping for Cronk Lake. However, based on CRCA’s best available information, the extent of the regulatory floodplain can be estimated to be 0.3 metres (1 foot) above the average highwater mark. Cataraqui Conservation’s Guidelines for Implementing Ontario Regulation 148/06 (see description below) typically requires that all development be set back a minimum of 6 metres from the regulatory floodplain of a waterbody, to provide an allowance for access for emergency purposes, or maintenance/repair to existing structures. Based on observations taken on site, the proposed building will be located outside of the regulatory floodplain but within the 6 metre access allowance. CRCA’s policies and guidelines can permit additions and renovations to an existing building to be located within the access allowance, provided: a) the work is considered a renovation vs a complete reconstruction, and b) the addition does not encroach further into the setback from the regulatory floodplain than the existing building or aggravate the hazard. The applicant has provided a structural assessment (E. R. Trought, May 24, 2023) demonstrating that the existing building is capable of being raised without structural damage, to accommodate a new foundation, and thus can be considered a renovation. Additionally, based on the site plan submitted with the application, the proposed development is not encroaching further into the hazard or aggravating the hazard, and emergency access is not further restricted. The change to the dwelling and resulting increase in living space does not put the property at further risk of flooding. Finally, our regulatory policies require the new building to be floodproofed in accordance with CRCA’s dry passive floodproofing measures as outlined in Appendix H of our Guidelines. Therefore, the minimum floor elevation of the new building, including any basement and crawl space, must be 0.3 metres above the regulatory floodplain, or 0.6 metres (2 feet) above the average highwater mark. Based on observations taken on site and the plans submitted with the application, the minimum floor level of the new building will be 4’4” (1.32 metres) above the water level of Cronk Lake and will therefore meet CRCA’s floodproofing requirements. Overall, the proposed building is considered to be outside of any area of potential flood risk. Erosion: Cataraqui Conservation, in accordance with provincial technical standards, defines the extent of the erosion hazard associated with the shoreline of Cronk Lake as the sum of an allowance for toe erosion (estimated to be 1 metre), a stable slope allowance of 3(h):1(v) for till and 1(h):1(v) for bedrock shorelines (1.9 metres), and a minimum erosion access allowance of 4 metres.
Page 83 of 174
Based on observations taken on site, the addition will be located outside of the immediate erosion hazard (2.9 metres inland from the toe of slope) but will be located within the 4 metre access allowance. In this case, CRCA policies and guidelines can permit a reduction of the access setback for the proposed development since the addition does not encroach further into the setback and access is not further restricted. 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-2023-0105 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 permit will be required for the proposed work 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 30 metres of the highwater mark of Cronk Lake 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,

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: November 9, 2023 Permission Application (S. 45(2) of the Planning Act) Subject: PL-ZNA-2022-0162, Todd, 5970 Bedford Road, Loughborough 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.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Waterfront Residential (RW) Relief Requested The applicant seeks permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge a legal non-conforming dwelling on the property within 30 metres of the highwater mark of Cronk Lake. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act.
Discussion/Analysis Property Description The subject property has a lot area of 0.2ha with a frontage of approximately 122m on Cronk Lake and 65m of frontage on Bedford Road. The property contains three separate detached dwellings and several accessory structures. The largest dwelling is located in the approximate middle of the property, another dwelling is located in the southwest corner of the property close to the rear property line, and the subject dwelling is located in the northeast area of the property closest to the lake. Each dwelling has it’s own septic system www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

and the septic system that services the subject dwelling is located directly behind the subject dwelling. The property is quite level from the road to the shoreline and is primarily manicured lawn with a number of large mature trees throughout. A boat launch abuts the property on the north side. As a result of this the shoreline cuts in towards the road on this side of the lot. The remainder of the surrounding area is characterized by waterfront residential development. Summary of Proposal To request permission under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge an existing single storey legal non-conforming dwelling located within 30m of the highwater mark of Cronk Lake. The existing dwelling is also non-conforming as it is one of three dwellings currently on the property. The RW zone permits one dwelling per lot. The application proposes to raise he existing building, and adding a new block foundation and ground floor storey underneath the existing structure. While at the property, staff determined that the proposal also included an expansion of the building’s footprint, and that this addition would extend closer to the highwater mark than the existing dwelling. This addition would replace an existing deck currently in this location. The owner has stated that the area of the deck was part of the house at one point in the past, and that the room was removed approximately 15 years ago. The owner was requested to demonstrate this by providing photos showing what the outside of the structure looked like before it was removed, however to date no such information has been found. Considering this and the stated time that has elapsed since the area of dwelling was removed it is difficult to say that it was removed with an intention to rebuild. In light of this the expansion of the footprint is being considered as an expansion rather than a replacement of a previously existing structure. Since circulation of the application, the applicant has amended the proposal by shifting the addition to the south along the east wall of the building. The result of this is that the addition will be no closer to the highwater mark than the existing closest point of the dwelling. The existing dwelling has a 40.1sqm ground floor area. The addition will have a ground floor area of 10.4sqm. The gross floor area of the building will increase from 40.1sqm to 101sqm. The height of the building will increase from 4.3m to 6.6m as a result of the additional storey. Agency Comments The application was circulated to Cataraqui Conservation for review and comment. They provided comments statin they have no objection to approval of the application. They note that with respect to natural hazards they did not have concerns with the expansion of the www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

dwelling with a second storey and new block foundation. They recommend that proper sediment and erosion controls are incorporated into construction plans as well as the maintenance and enhancement of a healthy buffer of native vegetation between all buildings/structures and the water. A permit will be required from Cataraqui Conservation for the development under their regulation. Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time this report was written. Planning Analysis The Township Official Plan Schedule designates the subject property as Rural and the property is zoned RW in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The RW zone permits a maximum of one dwelling. There are three separate dwellings on the property, therefore the subject dwelling is a non-conforming 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 also legal non-conforming building because it was constructed prior to the current Zoning By-law and is setback 6 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 deck. The criteria for considering an application under Section 45(2) are: Whether the application is desirable for appropriate development of the subject property; and Whether the application will result in undue adverse impacts on the surrounding properties and neighbourhood. The existing dwelling is a one storey structure. The proposal is to raise the existing structure and construct a new foundation and ground floor underneath the structure. The footprint of the structure will also be expanded with an addition that extends from the east side of the dwelling. The original footprint expansion was located in the northeast corner of the proposed structure – the result of this would have been that the addition would be set back 5.5m from the lake where the exiting closest point of the dwelling is 6m from the lake. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Of the three dwellings on the property, the subject dwelling is the closest to the water. Considering the amount of non-conforming development on the property that is within the 30m setback from the lake, it is not desirable for additional development to extend closer to the water than what is currently existing. Options for an alternative configuration were considered and the application was revised by shifting the ground floor addition to the south so that it is located in the southeast corner of the proposed structure. The ground floor addition will be set back 7.6m from the lake which is farther than the existing closest point of the dwelling. The proposed expansion of the dwelling, including the ground floor addition and additional storey will either be located further from the water or no closer to the water than the existing dwelling. There would be minimal opportunity to increase the set back further as the existing septic system for the dwelling is located to the west of the subject dwelling, and another dwelling is located to the south of the subject dwelling, while the lake is located to the north and east. The building location minimizes the amount of site disturbance and the amount of vegetation removal that would be required as the development is proposed in the same location as existing. Regarding lot coverage, the proposed dwelling footprint is 10.4sqm larger than the existing dwelling which is a small increase. Lot coverage for the whole property will be increasing from 11.9% to 12.4% as a result of the development. The building height will increase from 4.3 metres to 6.6 metres which is within the maximum permitted height for a principal building in the RW zone. Maintaining existing vegetation will assist in screening the development from adjacent properties and the lake and help mitigate any visual impacts. With the recommended conditions there are no adverse impacts anticipated and the application represents desirable and appropriate development for the property. 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: www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Recommendation That the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, approve for application PL-ZNA-2023-0105 for 5970 Bedford Road, subject to the following conditions.
- Permission is granted to enlarge the legal non-conforming dwelling on the subject property. The replacement dwelling is permitted to have a 50.5 square metre ground floor area and a 101 square metre gross floor area, and a maximum building height of 6.6 metres, and be set back a minimum of 6 metres from the high water mark of Cronk Lake, consistent with the submitted plans (prepared by Josh Todd, dated 2023-11-01) 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 Cronk 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. A natural vegetated buffer must be maintained in its natural state within 30 metres of the shoreline.
- A building permit is required for ALL demolition and construction on the property. There shall be no additional development, or demolition of existing structures, on the property without the approval from the Township of South Frontenac. Report Prepared By: Tom Fehr, Planner

Sent by E-mail Mr. Noah Perron, Planner Township of South Frontenac P.O. Box 100 Sydenham, Ontario K0H 2T0 Dear Mr. Perron: Re:
Application for Permission S 45(2) PL-ZNA-2023-0110 (Wilson) Island Parcel, Concession 10; Bear Berry Island Storrington District, Township of South Frontenac Waterbody: Loughborough Lake and Leland Provincially Significant Wetland
Cataraqui Conservation staff have reviewed the above-noted application for permission and provide the following comments for the Committee of Adjustment. Proposal The proposal involves the reconstruction and expansion of an existing residential dwelling and construction of a new septic system 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 9.7 metres to permit the construction of the new dwelling.
Site Description The subject property is located within the east basin of Loughborough Lake and is situated on Precambrian Shield. The rocky shoreline bordering the subject lands rises steadily a couple metres then levels out towards the centre of the island where the development is proposed. There are some other rock outcroppings located along the eastern side of the island. There are mature trees scattered throughout the lot. Staff visited the site on November 18, 2022. The property is designated Rural on Schedule A of the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan and is zoned Limited Service Residential – Island (RLSI) in the implementing Zoning Bylaw. Discussion
Page 1 of 3
Page 112 of 174
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 Loughborough Lake and the protection of the hydrologic function of the provincially significant wetland. Natural Hazards / Ontario Regulation 148/06 Flooding: The highest recorded water level for Loughborough Lake is 125.10 metres geodetic. For Loughborough 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. Additionally, Cataraqui Conservation requires the new dwelling and septic system to be floodproofed, such that the minimum floor elevation of the new dwelling is at least 0.3 metres above the regulatory flood plain, and the septic system distribution pipes are at least 0.9 metres above the regulatory floodplain. This requirement will be confirmed at the permitting stage. 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 4 metres from the stable top of bank. Based on observations taken on site and the site plan submitted with the application, the proposed dwelling and septic system are located outside the extent of the erosion hazard. Leland Provincially Significant Wetland: Cataraqui Conservation, under O. Reg. 148/06, regulates the areas within 120 metres from the limit of the Leland PSW, to protect the hydrologic function of the PSW. Our policies and guidelines require new development to set back at least 30 metres from the limit of the PSW. As proposed, the development will be located entirely outside of the 30 metre setback from the PSW and the dwelling will occupy an overall lesser footprint on the island. Staff are satisfied that the proposal will not result in adverse impacts to the hydrologic function of the wetland. Staff have no concerns from a natural hazards and regulatory 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 113 of 174
Recommendation In summary, staff have no objection to the approval of application PL-ZNA-2023-0110 based on our consideration for natural hazard and regulatory policies. We also recommend implementation of the above-noted environmental mitigation measures (in bold text) and advise the applicant that a CRCA permit is required for the proposed development 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 Loughborough Lake (the elevation 125.10 m geodetic), within 15 metres of the top of bank of the shoreline, or within 120 metres of the Leland Provincially Significant Wetland 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:

Permission Application (S. 45(2) of Planning Act), PL-ZNA2023-0110, Wilson, 20500 Bearberry Island, Storrington 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 – Island (RLSI) Zoning Relief Requested The applicant seeks permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge a legal non-conforming dwelling on the property within 30 metres of the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act.
Discussion Property Description The subject property is an island on Loughborough Lake with an area of approximately 0.75Ac. Existing development consists of a 161.5sqm seasonal dwelling with attached deck, three storage sheds, a pump house and detached deck. The existing seasonal dwelling is setback 6.3m from the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake. The subject property is accessed via floating dock on the north side of the island. The developed portion of the island, near the seasonal dwelling, is relatively flat before slopping upwards towards the southern boundary. The entirety of the subject property is densely covered in mature trees and www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

vegetation growth. The small island to the north of the subject property is undeveloped but connected to the subject property via a dock. The surrounding area consists of similar islands featuring limited service residential development. Summary of Proposal To request permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge a legal nonconforming use located within 30m of the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake. The existing 161.5sqm one-storey seasonal dwelling with attached deck is setback 6.3m from the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake. The applicant is proposing to replace the existing structure with a new two-storey seasonal dwelling. The proposed dwelling will be built mostly within the footprint of the existing but has been redesigned so as to occupy a lesser area, being 140sqm. The proposed structure would have a gross floor area of 251.5sqm, a height of 8.2m and will be setback 9.7m from the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake. The proposal would facilitate a decrease in lot coverage from 6.2% to 5.4%. Additionally, the applicants are proposing to service the dwelling with a new class 4 sewage system, to be setback a minimum of 15m from the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake. Agency Comments Cataraqui Conservation staff, in a letter dated October 2, 2023, provided comment stating that they had no objection to the approval of the application. They note that the proposed development is located within the area regulated by O. Reg 148/06 and therefore a permit from the CRCA will be required for the proposed development. CRCA staff also note that if approved, proper sediment and erosion controls be incorporated into construction plans, in addition to maintenance of a healthy shoreline buffer. Building Services completed a sewage review and in a letter dated October 10, 2023, cited no objection to the approval of the application. Staff acknowledged there was a suitable location for the installation of a class 4 sewage system. Additionally, it was recommended that sewage design be undertaken by a professional engineer due to the complexity of the location and site constraints. Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time of the writing of this report. Planning Analysis The subject property is zoned RLSI. The proposed seasonal dwelling is a permitted use within the RLSI zone.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Permission Application (S. 45(2) of Planning Act), PL-ZNA-2023-0110, Wilson, 20500 Bearberry Island, Storrington District
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 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 seasonal dwelling is a legal non-conforming use as it was constructed prior to the current Zoning By-law. The existing seasonal dwelling occupies a footprint of 161.5sqm and is setback 6.3m from the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake. Through its powers under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to enlarge the seasonal dwelling. The proposed enlargement would involve the removal of the existing seasonal dwelling, in favour of a new seasonal dwelling. The proposed seasonal dwelling would be constructed mostly within the footprint of the existing but has been redesigned to occupy a slightly lesser area (140sqm vs. 161.5sqm). The proposed enlargement would facilitate an increase in gross floor area to 251.5sqm, and an increase in height to 8.2m. Additionally, the proposed seasonal dwelling will improve upon the existing setback from the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake (9.7m vs. 6.3m). Proposals to enlarge a legal non-conforming use are not required to demonstrate conformity with Official Plan policy or compliance with Zoning By-law requirements. However, planning staff are permitted to consider potential impacts, as well as the desirability of the proposal for the appropriate development or use of the land. With respect to impacts, the improved shoreline setback as well as the new sewage system should minimize any environmental impacts on Loughborough Lake. Further, the proposed dwelling will incorporate low-impact design principles and will be effectively screened from the lake by existing vegetation. The proposed enlargement is also desirable for the appropriate development of the land. The existing seasonal dwelling has deteriorated in quality with age. For example, the dwelling is supported by stacks of concrete cinderblock in several locations, and its exterior and roof are significantly weathered. Therefore, the proposed enlargement provides the opportunity to replace the existing structure with a safer alternative. As such, Township Planning Staff interpret the proposed enlargement as an improvement over the existing conditions of the subject property. Conclusion It is the opinion of Township Planning Staff that it is appropriate for the Committee of Adjustment to grant permission to enlarge the legal non-conforming use on the property, as described in this report.

6 November, 2023 Kate Kaestner Secretary-Treasurer Committee of Adjustment P.O Box 4432 George St., Sydenham, Ont. K0H2T0 Notice of Hearing on Minor Variance/Permission Application PLZNA20230122 The very short notice period for this hearing is disturbing. Notice received one week prior to hearing which is not enough notice to properly prepare. My neighbors, me and my lawyer are not available for next week and therefore this short version of our concerns is sent by email and mail. I would like to be informed of the requirement in the rules regarding notice for these hearings. With respect; the purpose of this letter is to object to the proposal based on the fact that it is incomplete and contains false data and further that approval of this request sends a message to the public and builders that if you build outside of the building rules and regulations you can still get approval. A dangerous precedent is being set here. In addition, approval of this request outside of the regulations which are in place in part to protect the lake environment potentially endangers said environment in our fragile lake eco system and the regulations also protect neighbors and others from inappropriate development which could affect the quality of life and property values. Whatever happens here politicians and officials in South Frontenac will have to live with the impact and fallout of the decision. The application is incomplete because it makes no mention of the Lot Coverage Area and the 5% rule. I consulted when the addition was built on this cottage many years ago and they were maxed out at that time. The application needs to include this vital information. In addition, the application makes no mention of the existence of the large Bunkie which is located now in the vicinity of the septic tank. I have sent a picture of this separately. I will contact RVCA to confirm that all this meets their requirements and you should do so as well before considering this matter. There were alterations made to the septic system which we need confirmation that they were done and inspected appropriately to avoid problems for all of us. In terms, of errors I would point out that the deck on the north side of the cottage shows a distance of 32 feet to the property line when in fact it is only 9 feet to the corner of the cottage to my lot line. In addition the newly constructed deck on the north side now encroaches on the that side yard by two feet. The damage done to my property by the installation of the Bunkie on it is under review and may require court action involving the applicant, Hartington Equipment and South Frontenac. South Frontenac failed to protect me from this project even though they were informed. They also permitted construction to continue without a stop work order. Construction continues even today.
Page 137 of 174
My recommendation is that this be given a total site review and all the facts need to be made public in order for a decision to be made. I am not against a compromise here but we need to be fully informed and involved. I am not trying to be overly difficult here however I need to ensure a good outcome for all. I will need a copy of the decision sent to me at the address below in order for me and my team to evaluate next steps. Whether to involve the Ontario Building Code Commission, the GBCLA and the Foundation to name a few will wait until this matter is resolved. Yours respectfully

Attention: Tom Fehr Subject:
Pritchard, Dustin; Application for Minor Variance, PL-ZNA-2023-0122–55 Oak Shores Cres, Lot 22, Concession 2; Geographic Township of Bedford, Now the Township of South Frontenac; Roll Number: 1029 0100 2014 2000 0000 ———————————————————————————————————–Dear Mr. Fehr, 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 retroactive relief from the Townships Zoning By-law to recognize an addition to a deck within the required water setback. The deck has been expanded to the west, given the configuration of the shoreline this has resulted in a 1.6 m encroachment into water setback established by the original deck. It is our office’s understanding that an original deck with was setback of 16.8 m (55 ft) from Bobs Lake, the addition has reduced the setback to 15.2 m (50 ft).
Page 139 of 174
The Property The subject property is an irregularly shaped lot indicated as being 2792 m2 (0.69 acre). The property is developed with a dwelling, attached deck, shed and bunkie/sleeping cabin. Stone steps provide access to a detached deck and dock at the shoreline. Mature trees are present throughout the property and along the shoreline. Portions of the lot slopes steeply. From the site visit conducted Nov 1, 2023 and a review of the desktop mapping the following natural hazards or natural heritage features are indicated: -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 property 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 with respect to the 1:100-year flood level or slope hazard. Ontario Regulation 174/06 Our office regulates the shoreline of Bobs Lak. 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 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. A recent permit (RV1-1223) was issued for the placement of stone steps and an upland retaining wall. Conditions were provided for sediment and erosion control as part of this review. The deck addition was constructed outside the portion of the property subject to regulation by our office. Source Water Protection Most of RVCA’s watershed has been identified as a highly vulnerable aquifer as s indicated in the Mississippi-Rideau Source Water Protection Plan. 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;
Page 140 of 174
Page 2 of 3
• • •
ensuring wells are located upgradient of septic sewage disposal systems ensuring that wells and septic systems are properly maintained, avoiding the use of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers
Discussion From the site visit it was observed that loose soil is present above the shoreline from the recent construction work involving the stone steps and above a recently established retaining wall. This was discussed with the property owner; it was stated that some areas had been reseeded and establishment of sparce vegetation was observed near the shore. Stabilization of soil and establishment of native vegetation is recommended to protect against erosion and sedimentation. RVCA’s shoreline naturalization program can provide assistance with shoreline planting, please visit https://www.rvca.ca/stewardship-grants/shoreline-naturalization/shorelinenaturalization-program for more information. 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:
- Sediment and erosion controls (such as silt fencing & straw bales) should be installed on the downslope side of the recently disturbed area with exposed soil and be maintained in place until vegetation has re-established. -For any work undertaken along the shoreline of Bobs Lake and 15 m inland, 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”). -Vegetation should be reestablished along the shoreline and existing vegetation retained with in the 30 m setback of Bobs Lake. 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: November 9, 2023 Permission Application (S. 45(2) of the Planning Act) Subject: PL-ZNA-2023-0122, Dustin Pritchard, 55 Oak Shores Crescent, Bedford District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application for permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming deck under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, subject to conditions.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Limited Service Residential – Island (RLSI) Relief Requested The applicant seeks permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge the legal non-conforming deck on the property within 30 metres of the highwater mark of Bobs Lake. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act.
Discussion/Analysis Property Description The subject property has a lot area of 0.28ha with 51.8m of frontage on Bobs Lake and 13.5m of frontage on Oak Shores Lane. The property contains an existing dwelling with an attached deck as well as a small shed.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Permission Application (S. 45(2) of the Planning Act) PL-ZNA-2023-0122, Dustin Pritchard, 55 Oak Shores Crescent, Bedford District
The topography of the lot slopes down steeply from the road to a roughly level area where the existing development is located. The property continues to slope down from the dwelling to the shoreline of the lake. The property is primarily treed and is located in an area of similar waterfront residential development. Summary of Proposal To request permission under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge an existing 70.6sqm deck attached to an existing dwelling. The existing deck and dwelling are legal non-conforming due to being located within 30m of the highwater mark of Bobs Lake. The existing deck is set back 16.7m from the lake and wraps around the dwelling on three sides. The deck attached to the southwest side of the dwelling has been expanded. The new overall area of the deck is 91.7sqm and it is set back 15.2m from Bobs Lake. The deck has been reconstructed and expanded prior to the granting of the required approvals and building permits. Agency Comments The application was circulated to Rideau Valley Conservation Authority for review. The RVCA reviewed the application and stated that they have no objection to approval of the application. They note that should the application be approved, they recommend the implementation of sediment and erosion control measures between the disturbed area and the shore until vegetation has been re-established. They further recommended that vegetation should be reestablished and retained within 30m of Bobs Lake. Public Comments No comments were received on the application from the public at the time this report was written. Planning Analysis The Township Official Plan Schedule designates the subject property as Rural and the property is zoned RLSI in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The dwelling and attached deck 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 deck is a legal non-conforming building because it was constructed prior to the current Zoning By-law and is setback 16.7 metres from the highwater mark. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Permission Application (S. 45(2) of the Planning Act) PL-ZNA-2023-0122, Dustin Pritchard, 55 Oak Shores Crescent, Bedford District
Through its powers under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to enlarge the deck. The criteria for considering an application under Section 45(2) are: Whether the application is desirable for appropriate development of the subject property; and Whether the application will result in undue adverse impacts on the surrounding properties and neighbourhood. The deck on the northeast and northwest sides of the dwelling have been rebuilt no larger than the previous deck. The deck on the southwest side of the house has been expanded. The original deck on the southwest side varied in depth from 2.4m to 1.2m. The original southwest deck also did not extend out towards the water as far as the deck on the northwest side of the dwelling. The deck expansion has effectively squared off the corner of the deck by having the whole deck width be 2.4m along the length of the deck and by extending the deck out to match the depth of the northwest deck. By squaring of the corner of the deck, due to the curve of the shoreline, the expanded deck will be slightly closer to the lake than the existing deck at 15.2m compared to the existing setback of 16.7m Regarding lot coverage, the new deck footprint is slightly larger than the existing deck at a 21.1sqm increase and lot coverage will be increasing from 5.1% to 5.8% as a result of the development. The expanded deck results in minimal additional site disturbance or vegetation removal. With the recommended conditions there are no adverse impacts anticipated and the application represents desirable and appropriate development for the property. 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 deck on the property, as described in this report.

s planning Hearing on minor variance/permission application PLZNA20230123 November 6, 2023 1:06:48 PM
Hi. I have received a letter notifying me of the hearing on minor variance/permission application PLZNA20230123 on November 9th. My property is at , adjacent to 7248 Perth Road on two sides. My only concern with the variances is the risk of contamination in the creek that flows into Buck Lake. I don’t have the expertise to know what the risks are, but the 30m setback from a watercourse was made for a reason. I am concerned that the risk of contamination in the creek has risen quite a bit after these buildings and septic bed are constructed. However, I will defer to experts who understand these risks much better than I. Thanks.

Discussion Property Description The subject property has a lot area of 1.24ha with 157m of frontage on Perth Road and is roughly rectangular in shape. The property does not have any frontage on Buck Lake however it has a view of the lake. There is a large rock knoll in between Perth Road and the area of proposed development. The area of development is grouped into a linear strip on the property located between the rock knoll and a steep valley that contains a watercourse that exits into Buck Lake. The area of development and driveway area has been cleared. The balance of the property contains native vegetation and mature tree cover. The property currently contains two small sheds which will be relocated to the locations noted on the plot plan. The surrounding area is characterized by waterfront and nonwaterfront residential development. Summary of Proposal The Owner proposes to construct a 97.7sqm single detached dwelling, a new septic system, a 32sqm detached garage, and relocate two existing 9sqm sheds on the property. The developable area on the property is constrained due to the topography of the lot and the watercourse that runs through the property. Minor variances are being requested for relief from the 15m top of bank setback as well as from the 30m setback from a watercourse that runs through the property.

Agency Comments The application was circulated to Cataraqui Conservation and Building Services for review and comment. Cataraqui Conservation provided comments noting that they had no objection to approval of the application based on their review of the site and proposed development in relation to natural hazards. They have identified the extent of the erosion hazard associated with the ravine to be the area within 6m from the top of bank. The note that the proposed development is located outside the erosion hazard. They recommend sediment and erosion controls be incorporated into construction plans and that the maintenance and enhancement of a healthy buffer of native vegetation between the development and the water is implemented. No comments were received from Building Services at the time of writing this report. 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 proposed variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan related to residential development, and development adjacent to environmentally sensitive areas. The variances would facilitate construction of a single detached dwelling, septic system, and accessory buildings on lands that are designated Rural in the Official Plan on Schedule A. The proposed location of the development minimizes site alteration required and maximizes the setback of the dwelling and septic system from the watercourse, as intended by section 5.2.7(b) of the Official Plan. The proposed dwelling would be close to a steep slope. 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. The proposed development is set back varying distances from top of bank ranging from 6m to 22m. Cataraqui Conservation reviewed the application

with regard to natural hazards and confirmed that it would be safe for the development to be located in the proposed locations. The proposed location of the proposed development works with the topography of the land and minimizes site alteration required and maximizes the setback of the development from the highwater mark, as intended by section 5.2.7(b) of the Official Plan. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The proposed dwelling and associated development is a permitted use in the RU zone. Meeting the 30m setback from the highwater mark is not possible on the property due to the location of the valley and watercourse running through the property, and the rock knoll running parallel to the watercourse – these features limit development on the property to a relatively narrow strip between them. The location of the development maximizes the setback from the highwater mark. The application complies with all other zoning requirements including lot coverage which is to be 0.8% for the primary building and 0.4% for accessory lot coverage. With the recommended conditions the proposed variance maintains 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 requested variances are desirable for the appropriate development of the land. The proposed development is located in the only practically developable area on the property considering the site constraints. The proposed location will minimize site alteration and vegetation removal required (e.g. maintain topography, soil mantle and existing vegetation), and ensure that development setbacks are maximized from the top of bank/watercourse. Is the variance minor? The requested variances are minor as they maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law and are desirable for the appropriate development of the land. They are not anticipated to impact the existing or planned functionality of the property and adjacent properties. Vegetation would be maintained to provide visual screening from the nearest neighbour and to provide visual screening and buffering to the lake. The requested variances are minor in nature.
