Noah Perron, Planner, delivered his report to the Committee with a staff recommendation that the applications be approved with conditions. Chair Ruttan asked whether the applicant or their agent wished to speak to the application. Jeremy Card, Applicant, thanked the Committee for their consideration of their applications. Chair Ruttan inquired whether there were any members of the public who wished to speak to the application. Morna Graf, neighboring resident at at 2600 Rutledge Road, inquired as to whether the driveway for the new parcel would come off of Retreat Lane or off of Rutledge Road. Mr. Perron responded that the driveway for the new parcel would be accessed by a new entrance on Rutledge Road. Carol Sparling, neighbouring resident at 1153 Retreat Lane, noted that she had received delayed notice of the application due to MPAC having an incorrect mailing address for her. Ms. Sparling expressed concerns about an excavator crossing her property in order to access the subject lands. She expressed that she is not consenting for access to the property over her lands. She inquired as to how many more severances could be obtained on the subject lands. Mr. Perron spoke to the requirement for 76 metres of road frontage for consent applications. The 2 applications before the Committee would effectively use up all of the frontage on Rutledge Road and as such, no additional severances could be obtained on these lands through the typical Consent process. Ms. Sparling inquired as to whether there were other ways for the land to be divided. Mr. Perron responded that in Ontario land can be divided through the traditional consent process, through Plans of Subdivision or through Plans of Condominium.

Minutes of Committee Of Adjustment June, 13, 2024 Mr. Ruttan inquired as to whether there were any comments from Committee members regarding the application or resolution. Committee member Alan Revill stated that he heard the concerns of neighbouring residents, but that he believed the granting of these applications does not preclude any future development of the retained lands in the future, nor would it prohibit an application coming forward in the future for a broader development and as such, he was supportive of the applications. Committee member Norm Roberts commended the Planner, Noah Perron, for how well the applications were presented to the Committee. Resolution No. 2024-05-05 Moved by: Steve Pegrum Seconded by: Alan Revill THAT the Committee of Adjustment hereby approves consent application PLBDJ-2024-0037 for the creation of one new rural residential lot, being 2.3 acres in area and having 76 metres of frontage on Rutledge Road, subject to conditions.

PL-ZNA-2024-0055 (Jackson) (Gurr) - Loughborough District Property Address: 1157 Leach Lane Purpose & Effect of the Application:
To request permission under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge a legal non-conforming dwelling located within 30m of the highwater mark of Sydenham Lake. The existing 228.5sqm single detached dwelling and 97.5sqm attached deck is set back 8.5m from the lake. The application proposes to cover 48.2sqm of the deck with a roof structure attached to the house. The setback from the lake will not change and the height of the dwelling will not increase. Tom Fehr, Planner, delivered his report to the Committee with a staff recommendation that the application be approved, subject to conditions. Chair Ruttan inquired as to whether the applicant or their agent wished to address the Committee. (None heard). Mr. Ruttan inquired (3 times) as to whether there were any questions or comments from members of the public on the application (None heard). Mr. Ruttan asked Committee members whether they had any questions for the applicant or Planner regarding the application. Committee member Kevin Fox asked Mr. Fehr about the map provided to the Committee, given that it indicates the property line to be going through the existing dwelling on the property. Mr. Fehr responded that the maps that are derived from Frontenac Maps are created by County’s GIS program with property fabric overlayed. They are not to be taken as true property boundaries as the fabric is often shifted in the imagery, as is the case with this mapping image. This is largely due to the fact that there are many lands in this part of Ontario that have not been surveyed. Mr. Fox asked why we use the maps if they are not accurate. Mr. Fehr responded that the maps are used in circulation top provide the Committee and members of the public with information about the location of a subject property, but it is also why the Planning Department requires applicants to submit more detailed sketches of their proposals. Ms. Kaestner read the resolution for approval of the application. Chair Ruttan inquired as to whether there were any comments from Committee members regarding the application or resolution (None heard). Resolution No. 2024-05-10 Moved by: Norm Roberts Seconded by: Kevin Fox THAT the Committee of Adjustment hereby approves application PL-ZNA-20240055 for property municipally known as 1157 Leach Lane, granting permission to

Minutes of Committee Of Adjustment June, 13, 2024 Committee member Kevin Fox inquired as to whether applications that are granted via delegated authority are circulated to neighboring property owners or whether it is just a sign that is posted on the property. Ms. Kaestner responded that under the Planning Act, the circulatory requirements for consent applications are the same, regardless of whether the application meets the requirements for delegated authority. All consent applications are circulated to neighbouring landowners, posted on the website and have signs posted at the property and it is through this circulation process that the planning department is able to determine whether the application meets all of the required criteria to be approved by the Director of Development Services via Delegated Authority. 11

Good afternoon James, I understand you are not available by phone this afternoon. Happy to speak to you tomorrow based on your availability. As a follow up to my phone call, I wanted to provide you with some information regarding the Deroche application.
- The use of the property has been established with the existing structure.
- Section 6.10.4 of the Official Plan states that the replacement of a substandard septic system does not require a minor variance.
- The location of the proposed septic system will be determined at the time of the building permit application and comply with the Ontario Building Code for clearances from a watercourse, lake, etc. Due to the reasons above, the septic system is not part of the application going to the Committee of Adjustment on June 13th and is not included as an item in the development agreement. I hope this provides some clarity on the approval of the septic system. Regards, Brad

Location & Site Context
This Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Report has been prepared in support of an Application for Minor Variance for a proposed severance from 3395 Moreland Dixon Road. A minor variance application is needed to permit residential land uses within 300-500 metres of an existing quarry as there are existing aggregate operations within 500 metres of the subject lands. Alexandra Lunt and Riley Cunningham (the “Applicants”) have retained Arcadis to undertake an assessment of land use compatibility and four tests of minor variance with regard to the proposed severed lot.
Introduction
The subject lands are municipally addressed as 3395 Moreland Dixon Road and are located south of Sunbury, east of Collins Lake. The subject lands are legally described as Part of Lot 25, Concession 1 in the Geographic Township of Storrington/Loughborough, as in FR707221 (PCL1-3), subject to debts in FR707219 in the Township of South Frontenac, in the County of Frontenac.

There is existing residential development in the area along Battersea Road Princess Road and Moreland Dixon, consisting primarily of single detached dwellings. There are four existing aggregate resource operations around Moreland Dixon Road, Princess Road, and Battersea Road. There is one aggregate operation within 500 metres of the proposed severed lot. The proposed severed lot is located approximately 385 metres from the License Boundary of a pit and quarry owned by K. Mulroney Trucking, License No. 3145 (herein referred to as the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry). The McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry has a Class A License for greater than 20,000 tonnes with a maximum annual tonnage of 95,000 tonnes and a license area of 34.6 ha. The proposed severed lot is located over 900 metres from the other pits and quarries in the area.
has been taken from the Princess Road frontage. The subject lands are designated ‘Settlement Area’ in the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan and are zoned ‘UR1’ Urban Residential First Density in the Township’s Zoning By-law.

Retained Parcel 3395 Moreland-Dixon Road 91.11 Acres
The Applicant is proposing to sever an approximately 2 acre (0.8 hectare) residential lot from the southwest corner of the subject property to accommodate future residential development. The proposed severed lot has 84 metres of frontage on Princes Road. A minor variance application is needed to permit residential land uses in proximity of an existing pit and quarry to the southwest of the subject lands, referred to as the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry. Section 5.34.2 of the Township’s Zoning By-law permits residential land uses between 300 metres and 500 metres of an existing quarry, provided a minor variance application is approved. The proposed minor variance seeks to permit a new residential lot within 380 metres of the license area of a quarry.

Guideline D-6 provides classification for industries, based in their potential for fugitive emissions that could cause adverse effects. For each class, the guideline provides an estimate of potential influence area and a recommended minimum separation distance between each class of industry and sensitive land uses. Table 2 summarizes the different classes, potential influence area and recommended minimum separation distances.
In addition to the regulations cited in the preceding section, land use considerations are another means to reduce the risk of adverse air quality and noise effects from industrial facilities. For example, this can be achieved by creating a land use buffer between industry and a sensitive land use, such as a residential use. The MECP has a guideline (D—6:Compatibility between Industrial Facilities) to assist planners in establishing adequate buffers.

The PPS policies dealing with land use compatibility are summarized in Table 3 below.
The 2020 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development and sets the policy foundation for regulating the development and use of land. The PPS provides for the appropriate development of land, while protecting resources of provincial interest, public health and safety, and the quality of the natural and built environment.
4.3% Message
In the absence of site-specific studies, when sensitive land use encroaches on an existing pit and/or quarry, the appropriate criteria are the potential influence area and recommended minimum separation distance for a Class III industrial facility (potential influence area of 1,000 metres, minimum separation distance of 300 metres) as set out in Sections 4.1.1 and 4.3 of Guideline D-6.
The influence area for pits and quarries is determined by the Ministries of Environment & Energy and Natural Resources on a case-by-case basis. For new operations, the influence area is to be determined by appropriate studies (e.g., noise, dust, vibration, hydrogeological) carried out in support of the applications for licensing or land use approvals. With regard to encroachment of other sensitive land uses upon existing pits and quarries and undeveloped resource areas, the influence area shall either be established by similar studies or in lieu of these studies, the municipality shall apply setbacks from pits and quarries and undeveloped resource areas as specified in Guideline D-6.
Guideline D-6 states that no incompatible development should occur within the recommended minimum separation distance as noted in Table 2. Section 4.10 of D-6 however identifies exceptional circumstances with regard to redevelopment, infilland mixed—use areas. Influence areas may be reduced through industrial controls/mitigation measures to enable an industry to be categorized as a lesser Class (e.g., from Class IIIto Class II). In these cases, it suggests that separation distances less than the recommended minimum values may be acceptable ifajustifying impact assessment is provided.

Where possible, influence areas will be based on Provincial guidelines. Council, through the review of development applications within influence areas will ensure that land use compatibility issues are addressed.
influence areas are specific to the designation or type of proposed use and will be detailed in the appropriate section of this Plan.
The concept of an influence area is recognized as a means of protecting against incompatible land uses being located in close proximity to each other. This concept applies when a sensitive land use (for example, residential) is being proposed in close proximity to mining or mineral aggregate lands, certain commercial and industrial uses, etc., and conversely when one of these uses are proposed within close proximity to a sensitive land use.

The proposed severed parcel is located approximately 380 metres from the licensed area of the McGarvey Road Pit and Quarry. With this setback, the proposed development of the property is in compliance with the D-6 Guideline recommended minimum setback of 300 metres for a Class [II industrial facility.
The proposed severed lot is located over 900 metres from three of the four aggregate therefore has limited potential for incompatibility and no requirement for assessment.
As noted in Section 4.2 of this report, the MECP D-6 Guidelines recommends a potential influence area of 1,000 meters for pits and quarries (minimum separation distance of 300 metres). The Township of South Frontenac Official Plan notes an influence area of 300 metres from a quarry.

The proposed severed lot is over 900 metres from three of the four aggregate operations in the area and therefore has limited potential for incompatibility. The proposed severed lot has a separation distance of approximately 380 metres from the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry License Area. This is in compliance with the MECP D-6 Guideline recommended minimum distance for Class III industrial facilities. Approximately 5 single family homes are existing between the subject property and the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry. As a result, the operations of the pit and quarry are already hindered by sensitive land uses in closer proximity. The introduction of additional sensitive land uses further away from the quarry will have no further impact on the pit and quarry operations.
The proposed development of the subject property does not result in a land use compatibility conflict. This opinion recognizes the following:

Section 5.5.4 of the Official Plan identifies exceptions for development in areas adjacent to known deposits of mineral aggregates. Developments adjacent to known deposits of mineral aggregates, development which would preclude the establishment of new operations or access to the resource (i.e. residential uses) will only be permitted if the resource use would not be feasible. As discussed in the land use compatibility section and illustrated below, the operations of the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry are already hindered by existing residential land uses in closer proximity. The introduction of an additional residential land use on the proposed severed lot will have no further impact on the pit and quarry operations.

minor in nature?
and appropriate?
In summary, it is our professional opinion that the requested variance satisfies the four tests under Section 45 of the Planning Act.
The proposed minor variance willfacilitate the development of a residential use on lands designated and zoned for residential development. The proposed severed lot will not hinder the operation or expansion of adjacent aggregate operations as there are existing single detached dwellings in closer proximity to the aggregate operations compared to the proposed development. No negative impacts on the existing aggregate operations are anticipated as a result of the proposed development and the proposed severed lot will contribute to the available housing stock in the township. As such, the variance is desirable and appropriate.
- Is the variance desirable
The determination of whether or not an application is minor is not based on the degree of the variance required, but rather on whether the impact of granting the request(s) is minor. This includes how the variance could impact the existing or planned functionality of the subject lands and/or surrounding lands. Impacts can include but are not limited to environmental, nuisance (noise, vibration, dust etc.), visual and functional attributes. As previously discussed, the proposed severed lot and residential use will not further impact the pit and quarry operations compared to existing development. As such, the proposed variance is minor in nature.
- Is the variance
The proposed severed lot is approximately 380 metres from the license area of the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry. Section 5.34.1 of the Zoning By-Iaw prohibits residential land uses within 300 metres of an existing quarry or pit. However, Section 5.34.2 of the Zoning by-Iaw permits residential land uses on lands between 300 metres and 500 metres of an existing or proposed quarry provided a minor variance application is approved by the Township. As discussed in the land use compatibility section of this report, the proposed new lot will have no further impact on the pit and quarry operations compared to existing development. As such, the proposed development maintains the intent of the zoning by-law to ensure that new development does not negatively impact existing quarry operations.
The subject lands are zoned ‘UR1’ Urban Residential First Density in Zoning By—IawNo. 2003—75, as amended. The UR1 zone permits single detached dwellings. The proposed severance is being requested to facilitate the development of a new single detached dwelling and as such is in keeping with the intent of the Zoning By-law.
- Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law?
3395 Moreland Dixon Road

The proposed severed lot has a separation distance of over 900 metres from three of four aggregate operations in the area and therefore has limited potential for incompatibility. The proposed severed lot and the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry License Area have a separation distance of over 300 metres. This is in compliance with the MECP D-6 Guidelines recommended minimum separation distance for Class IIIindustrial facilities. Approximately 5 single family homes are existing between the proposed severed lot and the Quarry. As a result, the operations of the quarry are already hindered by sensitive land uses in closer proximity. The introduction of additional sensitive land uses further away from the quarry will have no further impact on the quarry operation.

Summary This consent application is for the creation of one new residential lot, and the minor variance application is to allow the new lot to be less than 500 metres from an active quarry. The Committee of Adjustment is being asked to make a decision on the consent application. It is a disputed consent per By-law 2020-27 because the severed parcel would be within 500 metres of an active quarry. This report recommends approval of both applications. Application Details Consent The proposed severed parcel would have an area of approximately 2 acres with 84 metres of frontage on Princess Road. The retained parcel would have an approximate area of 89 acres with approximately 200 metres and 155 metres of frontage on Princess Road and Moreland-Dixon Road, respectively. Minor Variance – Zoning Relief Requested Section 5.34.2 – To permit a residential land use to be established 380 metres away from an existing quarry, where the Zoning By-law permits residential land uses between 300 metres and 500 metres of an existing quarry provided that a minor variance is approved by the Township. Designation and Zoning The subject property is designated Settlement Area in Schedule A of the Township Official Plan. The property is zoned Urban Residential - First Density (UR1) in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-BDJ-2024-0047 & PL-ZNA-2024-0048
Does not require a plan of subdivision for the proper and orderly development of the municipality (s. 53(1) Planning Act); Is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (s. 3(5) Planning Act); Conforms to the County of Frontenac Official Plan (s. 2.1 & 3.2); Conforms to the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan (s. 5.5.2, 5.6.1, 5.6.6 & 7.1); Will comply with Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 subject to a minor variance; Has no unresolved objections/concerns raised from agencies or the public. Property Description The subject property is a large parcel of land which spans the entire length of Concession 1. The property contains frontage on both Moreland-Dixon Road to the north and Princess Road to the south. The entirety of the parcel is located within the Sunbury Settlement Area. Existing development consists of a single detached dwelling, detached livestock barn and detached storage structure. All existing development is isolated to the north half of the property, adjacent to Moreland-Dixon Road. A large portion of the property has been maintained for agricultural purposes. There is scattered mature vegetation growth throughout the property, including a large, forested area on the south half near Princess Road. A low-lying wetland/floodplain feature exists in the southeastern corner beside the road. Topography varies across the property’s extent. The area of the proposed severed lot, in the southwest corner of the property on Princess Road, is mostly flat but is elevated from the low-lying area in the southeast. Surrounding land uses consist of similar style rural residential development. The subject property is located in close proximity to lands designated Mineral Aggregate in Schedule A of the Township Official Plan and Zoned Quarry ‘A’ Zone – Special Provision 1 (QA-1) in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The existing pit and quarry (henceforth referred to as the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry) is located approximately 380 metres to the southwest. Supporting Documentation A Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Study (Arcadis, April 22, 2024) was submitted in support of the Consent and Minor Variance Applications. The report reviewed the proposed lot in relation to the existing pits and quarries, and mineral aggregate resources in the area. The report concluded that the proposed lot would not result in any compatibility issues with the existing pits and quarries in the area. Department and Agency Comments Public Services provided comment on June 4, 2024. Public Services Staff have no objection to the approval of the consent application and provided no comment on the minor variance application. It was noted that there are adequate sight lines to permit an entrance from Princess Road to the severed parcel. The retained parcel would continue to be accessed via the existing entrance from Moreland-Dixon Road. Road Widening is to be determined by an Ontario Land Surveyor. Any shortfall of the 20m road allowance, measured 10m from the centreline of Princess Road, in front of the severed lot shall be dedicated to the Township. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Building Services provided comment on June 12, 2024. Building Services Staff have no objection to the approval of the application. Staff note that any future on-site sewage system would need to be fully raised above the bedrock within a minimum 30cm clay seal underlying the entire sewage system footprint. Cataraqui Conservation did not provide comments due to the nature of the application. Public Comments Planning Staff received an oral submission from a nearby property owner regarding the proposed severance. This nearby property owner had questions related to minimum distance separation requirements and water availability. Planning Staff followed up with the individual to answer their questions and provide additional context about the proposal. No further correspondence was received about the proposal. Planning Analysis Consent Application Mineral Aggregate Resources The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) 2020 indicates that mineral aggregate resources shall be protected for long-term use, and where provincial information is available, deposits of mineral aggregate resources shall be identified. The County of Frontenac Official Plan contains policies that are consistent with the PPS. The County Official Plan also identifies know deposits of mineral aggregate resources. The Township of South Frontenac Official Plan intends to protect wherever possible and practical sand and gravel resources and a reasonable amount of bedrock resources for aggregate extraction and to ensure that resources are utilized in accordance with the proper controls. Existing licensed pits and quarries are designated “Mineral Aggregate” and are place in either a Pit or Quarry zone depending on the type of operation and its annual tonnage production. The Township Official Plan recognizes the concept of an influence area as a means of protecting mineral aggregate and existing quarries from incompatible land uses. For this reason, the Official Plan prohibits residential land uses within 300 metres of an existing or proposed quarry. The Official Plan also intends to prevent incompatible lands uses less than 500 metres but more than 300 metres from an existing quarry. The 500 metre influence area is not meant to be a strict buffer or setback area in which development is prohibited. Rather, it is an area where impacts may occur or may be experienced, and development may occur subject to a technical assessment. These policies are implemented through the Zoning By-law. Section 5.34.2 of the Zoning Bylaw specifies that residential land uses may be permitted between 300 metres and 500 metres of an existing quarry provided a minor variance or rezoning application is approved by the Township. A land use compatibility study is required in support of such proposals. The proposed severed parcel would be approximately 380 metres from the licensed area of the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry. It is noted that the Mineral Aggregate designation and QAwww.southfrontenac.net Page 52 of 187 South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

1 zone do not correspond to the licenced area because the northern boundary of the quarry was reduced by 300 metres in 2022. The Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Report (Arcadis, April 22, 2024) concluded that the approval of the severance application will not result in any incompatibility with the quarry. The influence area for pits and quarries are determined by the Province on a case-by-case basis, informed by studies carried out in support of applications for licensing. In the absence of site-specific studies, the appropriate criteria are the potential influence area and recommended minimum separation distance for a Class III industrial facility as set out in Section 4.1.1 and 4.3 of the Provincial Guideline D-6: Compatibility between Industrial Facilities. Guideline D-6 establishes a potential influence area of 1000 metres and a minimum separation distance of 300 metres for Class III industrial facilities. The proposed severed lot would be approximately 380 metres from the licensed area of the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry. Therefore, any negative land use compatibility outcomes would be mitigated by virtue of the minimum separation distances, the characteristics of the quarry operation, pre-existing regulatory controls, and to the intervening existing residential land uses. Minimum Distance Separation from Livestock Facilities In conformity with the PPS, the Township Official Plan requires that all division of land for non-farm uses comply with the Minimum Distance Separation Formulae I (MDS I) (Section 7.1(I)). The Township Zoning By-law also requires residential development to comply with MDS I. The subject property is designated Settlement Area in Schedule A of the Township Official Plan. In accordance with Implementation Guideline No. 36 of the Ontario MDS document and Section 5.35a) of the Zoning By-law, MDS I setbacks are not required for proposed land use changes, including consents, within approved settlement areas. Settlement Area Policies The PPS 2020 promotes efficient development and land use patterns, and states that rural settlement areas shall be the focus of growth and development and their vitality and regeneration shall be promoted. The PPS also states that planning authorities must consider rural characteristics, the scale of development and the provision of appropriate service levels when directing development in rural settlement areas. The County of Frontenac Official Plan supports the PPS policies, encouraging the Township to promote mixed-use development including residential, commercial, institutional, parks and employment areas (Section 3.2). The Township of South Frontenac Official Plan also intends that a majority of new growth will be directed to existing settlement areas where it can be supported by appropriate servicing (Section 5.6). The intent of the lot creation policies of Section 5.6.6 is that new lot development in Settlement Areas will generally occur by plan of subdivision. This section also states that a maximum of three severances may be permitted from a lot of record on the day of adoption of the Official Plan where it is demonstrated that a plan of subdivision is not necessary for the orderly development of the land and will not limit such development by plan www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-BDJ-2024-0047 & PL-ZNA-2024-0048
of subdivision. This policy is consistent with Section 53(1) of the Planning Act. It is the opinion of Township Planning Staff that a plan of subdivision is not required to ensure the orderly development of the land. Further, the creation of the severed lot would not compromise the future viability of a plan of subdivision occurring on the subject lands. Finally, there have been no severances from the property since the adoption of the Township Official Plan. Therefore, the subject property is eligible for severance. The proposed severed lot would have an area of 2 acres, in line with the minimum requirements of Section 5.6.1 of the Official Plan. The Official Plan does not specify a minimum lot frontage for residential properties in settlement areas. However, Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 requires a minimum 76 metres of lot frontage. The severed parcel would have approximately 84 metres of road frontage, in compliance with the requirements of the zoning by-law. The retained parcel would also comply with the minimum lot size and frontage requirements established in the Township Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Existing agricultural uses (being uses that existed prior to Zoning By-law No. 2003-75) are permitted uses in the UR1 zone. The intent is to allow agricultural uses to continue on lands within a Settlement Area until such time as the lands are developed for residential purposes. As previously indicated, the subject property consists of farmland that is used for cultivating crops. Additionally, there is an existing barn structure which has historically housed livestock. The agricultural lands and the livestock barns would be wholly contained within the retained lands, more than 1km from the proposed severed lot. As such, the proposed severance would not establish the creation of a new use and would be consistent with the PPS, County Official Plan and Township Official Plan direction that lands within Settlement Areas are to be the focus of growth and development. Additionally, the creation of the severed parcel would not result in the creation of insufficient setback values of any existing structures. The creation of the severed parcel would not impact the ability of the retained lands to function as a residential and agricultural property. Any future development on the retained parcel could be compliant with the requirements of the Zoning By-law. General Consent Policies Section 7.1o) of the Township Official Plan enables the Township to impose certain conditions to the approval of a severance. A standard condition of severance approval is a development agreement addressing matters, including but not limited to, lot grading and drainage. Such a requirements ensures that runoff, as a result of site alteration, is appropriately directed and does not result in flooding. As such, it is recommended that a development agreement be registered on the title of the severed lands to address measures related to lot grading and drainage. The recommended lot grading and drainage plan is to address existing and proposed grades and drainage patterns within and adjacent to the development envelope, entrance, well and septic locations. Section 7.1s) speaks to the applicant providing sufficient information to substantiate that all lots created have a source of potable water and appropriate sanitary sewage disposal facilities. The applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of Building Services that the severed parcel would have the ability to be serviced by a private sewage disposal system. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Further, the Township typically requires the ability to be serviced by a private well to be demonstrated as a condition of approval. Conclusion The lands to be severed and the lands to be retained would be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and in conformity with the land division policies (Section 7.1) of the Township Official Plan. The retained parcel would be in compliance with Zoning By-law 200375. The severed lands will be compliance with Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, pending the approval of the concurrently submitted minor variance application. Minor Variance The proposal needs to be assessed against the four tests of a minor variance outlines 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 residential uses on the proposed severed parcel within 500 metres of lands designated as Mineral Aggregate on Schedule A of the Township Official Plan. Section 5.5.2 of the Official Plan prohibits residential development within 300 metres of an existing quarry. The purpose of this prohibition is to protect against incompatible lands uses in the vicinity of Mineral Aggregate designations and to protect existing pits and quarries from other incompatible land uses. The proposed severed lot is located approximately 380 metres from the licensed area of the existing quarry to the southwest. Therefore, the proposed severed lot is outside of the 300 metre prohibition area. The Official Plan also establishes an additional 200 metre influence area. Within this area, residential land uses may be permitted, subject to additional technical assessment. The submitted Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Report (Arcadis, April 22, 2024) concluded that the approval of the severance would not result in any incompatibility and that it would be appropriate to permit residential development within the 200 metre influence area. 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 residential development adjacent to Mineral Aggregate resources. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The proposed severed parcel would be located approximately 380 metres from lands zoned Quarry ‘A’ Zone – Special Provision 1 (QA-1). Section 5.34.2 of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 states that residential land uses may be permitted on lands between 300 metres and 500 metres of an existing quarry provided a minor variance application is approved by the Township. The Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Report (Arcadis, April 22, 2024) concluded that the approval of the severance application will not result in any incompatibility with the quarry. Any negative land use compatibility outcomes would be mitigated by virtue of the minimum separation distances, the characteristics of the quarry www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

operation, pre-existing regulatory controls, and to the intervening existing residential land uses. Therefore, Township Planning Staff feel that is appropriate to permit a minor variance which would enable residential land uses on the proposed lot380 metres from the existing quarry. It is the opinion of Township Planning Staff that the proposed variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Is the variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land? The requested variance is desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land. The proposal would facilitate the creation of residential uses on lands designated and zoned for residential development. Further, it is anticipated that there would be no negative impact on the existing aggregate operation as a result of the proposed severance. 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. The proposed severed lot and residential use will not further impact the quarry operation compared to existing development. Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Meeting 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

This Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Report has been prepared in support of an Application for Minor Variance for a proposed severance from 3395 Moreland Dixon Road. A minor variance application is needed to permit residential land uses within 300-500 metres of an existing quarry as there are existing aggregate operations within 500 metres of the subject lands. Alexandra Lunt and Riley Cunningham (the “Applicants”) have retained Arcadis to undertake an assessment of land use compatibility and four tests of minor variance with regard to the proposed severed lot.
Introduction
The subject lands are municipally addressed as 3395 Moreland Dixon Road and are located south of Sunbury, east of Collins Lake. The subject lands are legally described as Part of Lot 25, Concession 1 in the Geographic Township of Storrington/Loughborough, as in FR707221 (PCL1-3), subject to debts in FR707219 in the Township of South Frontenac, in the County of Frontenac.

There is existing residential development in the area along Battersea Road Princess Road and Moreland Dixon, consisting primarily of single detached dwellings. There are four existing aggregate resource operations around Moreland Dixon Road, Princess Road, and Battersea Road. There is one aggregate operation within 500 metres of the proposed severed lot. The proposed severed lot is located approximately 385 metres from the License Boundary of a pit and quarry owned by K. Mulroney Trucking, License No. 3145 (herein referred to as the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry). The McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry has a Class A License for greater than 20,000 tonnes with a maximum annual tonnage of 95,000 tonnes and a license area of 34.6 ha. The proposed severed lot is located over 900 metres from the other pits and quarries in the area.

The Applicant is proposing to sever an approximately 2 acre (0.8 hectare) residential lot from the southwest corner of the subject property to accommodate future residential development. The proposed severed lot has 84 metres of frontage on Princes Road. A minor variance application is needed to permit residential land uses in proximity of an existing pit and quarry to the southwest of the subject lands, referred to as the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry. Section 5.34.2 of the Township’s Zoning By-law permits residential land uses between 300 metres and 500 metres of an existing quarry, provided a minor variance application is approved. The proposed minor variance seeks to permit a new residential lot within 380 metres of the license area of a quarry.

Guideline D-6 provides classification for industries, based in their potential for fugitive emissions that could cause adverse effects. For each class, the guideline provides an estimate of potential influence area and a recommended minimum separation distance between each class of industry and sensitive land uses. Table 2 summarizes the different classes, potential influence area and recommended minimum separation distances.
In addition to the regulations cited in the preceding section, land use considerations are another means to reduce the risk of adverse air quality and noise effects from industrial facilities. For example, this can be achieved by creating a land use buffer between industry and a sensitive land use, such as a residential use. The MECP has a guideline (D—6:Compatibility between Industrial Facilities) to assist planners in establishing adequate buffers.

The PPS policies dealing with land use compatibility are summarized in Table 3 below.
The 2020 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development and sets the policy foundation for regulating the development and use of land. The PPS provides for the appropriate development of land, while protecting resources of provincial interest, public health and safety, and the quality of the natural and built environment.
4.3% Message
In the absence of site-specific studies, when sensitive land use encroaches on an existing pit and/or quarry, the appropriate criteria are the potential influence area and recommended minimum separation distance for a Class III industrial facility (potential influence area of 1,000 metres, minimum separation distance of 300 metres) as set out in Sections 4.1.1 and 4.3 of Guideline D-6.
The influence area for pits and quarries is determined by the Ministries of Environment & Energy and Natural Resources on a case-by-case basis. For new operations, the influence area is to be determined by appropriate studies (e.g., noise, dust, vibration, hydrogeological) carried out in support of the applications for licensing or land use approvals. With regard to encroachment of other sensitive land uses upon existing pits and quarries and undeveloped resource areas, the influence area shall either be established by similar studies or in lieu of these studies, the municipality shall apply setbacks from pits and quarries and undeveloped resource areas as specified in Guideline D-6.
Guideline D-6 states that no incompatible development should occur within the recommended minimum separation distance as noted in Table 2. Section 4.10 of D-6 however identifies exceptional circumstances with regard to redevelopment, infilland mixed—use areas. Influence areas may be reduced through industrial controls/mitigation measures to enable an industry to be categorized as a lesser Class (e.g., from Class IIIto Class II). In these cases, it suggests that separation distances less than the recommended minimum values may be acceptable ifajustifying impact assessment is provided.

Where possible, influence areas will be based on Provincial guidelines. Council, through the review of development applications within influence areas will ensure that land use compatibility issues are addressed.
influence areas are specific to the designation or type of proposed use and will be detailed in the appropriate section of this Plan.
The concept of an influence area is recognized as a means of protecting against incompatible land uses being located in close proximity to each other. This concept applies when a sensitive land use (for example, residential) is being proposed in close proximity to mining or mineral aggregate lands, certain commercial and industrial uses, etc., and conversely when one of these uses are proposed within close proximity to a sensitive land use.

The proposed severed parcel is located approximately 380 metres from the licensed area of the McGarvey Road Pit and Quarry. With this setback, the proposed development of the property is in compliance with the D-6 Guideline recommended minimum setback of 300 metres for a Class [II industrial facility.
The proposed severed lot is located over 900 metres from three of the four aggregate therefore has limited potential for incompatibility and no requirement for assessment.
As noted in Section 4.2 of this report, the MECP D-6 Guidelines recommends a potential influence area of 1,000 meters for pits and quarries (minimum separation distance of 300 metres). The Township of South Frontenac Official Plan notes an influence area of 300 metres from a quarry.

The proposed severed lot is over 900 metres from three of the four aggregate operations in the area and therefore has limited potential for incompatibility. The proposed severed lot has a separation distance of approximately 380 metres from the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry License Area. This is in compliance with the MECP D-6 Guideline recommended minimum distance for Class III industrial facilities. Approximately 5 single family homes are existing between the subject property and the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry. As a result, the operations of the pit and quarry are already hindered by sensitive land uses in closer proximity. The introduction of additional sensitive land uses further away from the quarry will have no further impact on the pit and quarry operations.
The proposed development of the subject property does not result in a land use compatibility conflict. This opinion recognizes the following:

Section 5.5.4 of the Official Plan identifies exceptions for development in areas adjacent to known deposits of mineral aggregates. Developments adjacent to known deposits of mineral aggregates, development which would preclude the establishment of new operations or access to the resource (i.e. residential uses) will only be permitted if the resource use would not be feasible. As discussed in the land use compatibility section and illustrated below, the operations of the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry are already hindered by existing residential land uses in closer proximity. The introduction of an additional residential land use on the proposed severed lot will have no further impact on the pit and quarry operations.

minor in nature?
and appropriate?
In summary, it is our professional opinion that the requested variance satisfies the four tests under Section 45 of the Planning Act.
The proposed minor variance willfacilitate the development of a residential use on lands designated and zoned for residential development. The proposed severed lot will not hinder the operation or expansion of adjacent aggregate operations as there are existing single detached dwellings in closer proximity to the aggregate operations compared to the proposed development. No negative impacts on the existing aggregate operations are anticipated as a result of the proposed development and the proposed severed lot will contribute to the available housing stock in the township. As such, the variance is desirable and appropriate.
- Is the variance desirable
The determination of whether or not an application is minor is not based on the degree of the variance required, but rather on whether the impact of granting the request(s) is minor. This includes how the variance could impact the existing or planned functionality of the subject lands and/or surrounding lands. Impacts can include but are not limited to environmental, nuisance (noise, vibration, dust etc.), visual and functional attributes. As previously discussed, the proposed severed lot and residential use will not further impact the pit and quarry operations compared to existing development. As such, the proposed variance is minor in nature.
- Is the variance
The proposed severed lot is approximately 380 metres from the license area of the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry. Section 5.34.1 of the Zoning By-Iaw prohibits residential land uses within 300 metres of an existing quarry or pit. However, Section 5.34.2 of the Zoning by-Iaw permits residential land uses on lands between 300 metres and 500 metres of an existing or proposed quarry provided a minor variance application is approved by the Township. As discussed in the land use compatibility section of this report, the proposed new lot will have no further impact on the pit and quarry operations compared to existing development. As such, the proposed development maintains the intent of the zoning by-law to ensure that new development does not negatively impact existing quarry operations.
The subject lands are zoned ‘UR1’ Urban Residential First Density in Zoning By—IawNo. 2003—75, as amended. The UR1 zone permits single detached dwellings. The proposed severance is being requested to facilitate the development of a new single detached dwelling and as such is in keeping with the intent of the Zoning By-law.
- Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law?
3395 Moreland Dixon Road
Page 87 of 187
The proposed severed lot has a separation distance of over 900 metres from three of four aggregate operations in the area and therefore has limited potential for incompatibility. The proposed severed lot and the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry License Area have a separation distance of over 300 metres. This is in compliance with the MECP D-6 Guidelines recommended minimum separation distance for Class IIIindustrial facilities. Approximately 5 single family homes are existing between the proposed severed lot and the Quarry. As a result, the operations of the quarry are already hindered by sensitive land uses in closer proximity. The introduction of additional sensitive land uses further away from the quarry will have no further impact on the quarry operation.

Summary This consent application is for the creation of one new residential lot, and the minor variance application is to allow the new lot to be less than 500 metres from an active quarry. The Committee of Adjustment is being asked to make a decision on the consent application. It is a disputed consent per By-law 2020-27 because the severed parcel would be within 500 metres of an active quarry. This report recommends approval of both applications. Application Details Consent The proposed severed parcel would have an area of approximately 2 acres with 84 metres of frontage on Princess Road. The retained parcel would have an approximate area of 89 acres with approximately 200 metres and 155 metres of frontage on Princess Road and Moreland-Dixon Road, respectively. Minor Variance – Zoning Relief Requested Section 5.34.2 – To permit a residential land use to be established 380 metres away from an existing quarry, where the Zoning By-law permits residential land uses between 300 metres and 500 metres of an existing quarry provided that a minor variance is approved by the Township. Designation and Zoning The subject property is designated Settlement Area in Schedule A of the Township Official Plan. The property is zoned Urban Residential - First Density (UR1) in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75.

Does not require a plan of subdivision for the proper and orderly development of the municipality (s. 53(1) Planning Act); Is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (s. 3(5) Planning Act); Conforms to the County of Frontenac Official Plan (s. 2.1 & 3.2); Conforms to the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan (s. 5.5.2, 5.6.1, 5.6.6 & 7.1); Will comply with Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 subject to a minor variance; Has no unresolved objections/concerns raised from agencies or the public. Property Description The subject property is a large parcel of land which spans the entire length of Concession 1. The property contains frontage on both Moreland-Dixon Road to the north and Princess Road to the south. The entirety of the parcel is located within the Sunbury Settlement Area. Existing development consists of a single detached dwelling, detached livestock barn and detached storage structure. All existing development is isolated to the north half of the property, adjacent to Moreland-Dixon Road. A large portion of the property has been maintained for agricultural purposes. There is scattered mature vegetation growth throughout the property, including a large, forested area on the south half near Princess Road. A low-lying wetland/floodplain feature exists in the southeastern corner beside the road. Topography varies across the property’s extent. The area of the proposed severed lot, in the southwest corner of the property on Princess Road, is mostly flat but is elevated from the low-lying area in the southeast. Surrounding land uses consist of similar style rural residential development. The subject property is located in close proximity to lands designated Mineral Aggregate in Schedule A of the Township Official Plan and Zoned Quarry ‘A’ Zone – Special Provision 1 (QA-1) in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The existing pit and quarry (henceforth referred to as the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry) is located approximately 380 metres to the southwest. Supporting Documentation A Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Study (Arcadis, April 22, 2024) was submitted in support of the Consent and Minor Variance Applications. The report reviewed the proposed lot in relation to the existing pits and quarries, and mineral aggregate resources in the area. The report concluded that the proposed lot would not result in any compatibility issues with the existing pits and quarries in the area. Department and Agency Comments Public Services provided comment on June 4, 2024. Public Services Staff have no objection to the approval of the consent application and provided no comment on the minor variance application. It was noted that there are adequate sight lines to permit an entrance from Princess Road to the severed parcel. The retained parcel would continue to be accessed via the existing entrance from Moreland-Dixon Road. Road Widening is to be determined by an Ontario Land Surveyor. Any shortfall of the 20m road allowance, measured 10m from the centreline of Princess Road, in front of the severed lot shall be dedicated to the Township. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Building Services provided comment on June 12, 2024. Building Services Staff have no objection to the approval of the application. Staff note that any future on-site sewage system would need to be fully raised above the bedrock within a minimum 30cm clay seal underlying the entire sewage system footprint. Cataraqui Conservation did not provide comments due to the nature of the application. Public Comments Planning Staff received an oral submission from a nearby property owner regarding the proposed severance. This nearby property owner had questions related to minimum distance separation requirements and water availability. Planning Staff followed up with the individual to answer their questions and provide additional context about the proposal. No further correspondence was received about the proposal. Planning Analysis Consent Application Mineral Aggregate Resources The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) 2020 indicates that mineral aggregate resources shall be protected for long-term use, and where provincial information is available, deposits of mineral aggregate resources shall be identified. The County of Frontenac Official Plan contains policies that are consistent with the PPS. The County Official Plan also identifies know deposits of mineral aggregate resources. The Township of South Frontenac Official Plan intends to protect wherever possible and practical sand and gravel resources and a reasonable amount of bedrock resources for aggregate extraction and to ensure that resources are utilized in accordance with the proper controls. Existing licensed pits and quarries are designated “Mineral Aggregate” and are place in either a Pit or Quarry zone depending on the type of operation and its annual tonnage production. The Township Official Plan recognizes the concept of an influence area as a means of protecting mineral aggregate and existing quarries from incompatible land uses. For this reason, the Official Plan prohibits residential land uses within 300 metres of an existing or proposed quarry. The Official Plan also intends to prevent incompatible lands uses less than 500 metres but more than 300 metres from an existing quarry. The 500 metre influence area is not meant to be a strict buffer or setback area in which development is prohibited. Rather, it is an area where impacts may occur or may be experienced, and development may occur subject to a technical assessment. These policies are implemented through the Zoning By-law. Section 5.34.2 of the Zoning Bylaw specifies that residential land uses may be permitted between 300 metres and 500 metres of an existing quarry provided a minor variance or rezoning application is approved by the Township. A land use compatibility study is required in support of such proposals. The proposed severed parcel would be approximately 380 metres from the licensed area of the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry. It is noted that the Mineral Aggregate designation and QAwww.southfrontenac.net Page 91 of 187 South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

1 zone do not correspond to the licenced area because the northern boundary of the quarry was reduced by 300 metres in 2022. The Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Report (Arcadis, April 22, 2024) concluded that the approval of the severance application will not result in any incompatibility with the quarry. The influence area for pits and quarries are determined by the Province on a case-by-case basis, informed by studies carried out in support of applications for licensing. In the absence of site-specific studies, the appropriate criteria are the potential influence area and recommended minimum separation distance for a Class III industrial facility as set out in Section 4.1.1 and 4.3 of the Provincial Guideline D-6: Compatibility between Industrial Facilities. Guideline D-6 establishes a potential influence area of 1000 metres and a minimum separation distance of 300 metres for Class III industrial facilities. The proposed severed lot would be approximately 380 metres from the licensed area of the McGarvey Road Pit & Quarry. Therefore, any negative land use compatibility outcomes would be mitigated by virtue of the minimum separation distances, the characteristics of the quarry operation, pre-existing regulatory controls, and to the intervening existing residential land uses. Minimum Distance Separation from Livestock Facilities In conformity with the PPS, the Township Official Plan requires that all division of land for non-farm uses comply with the Minimum Distance Separation Formulae I (MDS I) (Section 7.1(I)). The Township Zoning By-law also requires residential development to comply with MDS I. The subject property is designated Settlement Area in Schedule A of the Township Official Plan. In accordance with Implementation Guideline No. 36 of the Ontario MDS document and Section 5.35a) of the Zoning By-law, MDS I setbacks are not required for proposed land use changes, including consents, within approved settlement areas. Settlement Area Policies The PPS 2020 promotes efficient development and land use patterns, and states that rural settlement areas shall be the focus of growth and development and their vitality and regeneration shall be promoted. The PPS also states that planning authorities must consider rural characteristics, the scale of development and the provision of appropriate service levels when directing development in rural settlement areas. The County of Frontenac Official Plan supports the PPS policies, encouraging the Township to promote mixed-use development including residential, commercial, institutional, parks and employment areas (Section 3.2). The Township of South Frontenac Official Plan also intends that a majority of new growth will be directed to existing settlement areas where it can be supported by appropriate servicing (Section 5.6). The intent of the lot creation policies of Section 5.6.6 is that new lot development in Settlement Areas will generally occur by plan of subdivision. This section also states that a maximum of three severances may be permitted from a lot of record on the day of adoption of the Official Plan where it is demonstrated that a plan of subdivision is not necessary for the orderly development of the land and will not limit such development by plan www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
Page 92 of 187
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-BDJ-2024-0047 & PL-ZNA-2024-0048
of subdivision. This policy is consistent with Section 53(1) of the Planning Act. It is the opinion of Township Planning Staff that a plan of subdivision is not required to ensure the orderly development of the land. Further, the creation of the severed lot would not compromise the future viability of a plan of subdivision occurring on the subject lands. Finally, there have been no severances from the property since the adoption of the Township Official Plan. Therefore, the subject property is eligible for severance. The proposed severed lot would have an area of 2 acres, in line with the minimum requirements of Section 5.6.1 of the Official Plan. The Official Plan does not specify a minimum lot frontage for residential properties in settlement areas. However, Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 requires a minimum 76 metres of lot frontage. The severed parcel would have approximately 84 metres of road frontage, in compliance with the requirements of the zoning by-law. The retained parcel would also comply with the minimum lot size and frontage requirements established in the Township Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Existing agricultural uses (being uses that existed prior to Zoning By-law No. 2003-75) are permitted uses in the UR1 zone. The intent is to allow agricultural uses to continue on lands within a Settlement Area until such time as the lands are developed for residential purposes. As previously indicated, the subject property consists of farmland that is used for cultivating crops. Additionally, there is an existing barn structure which has historically housed livestock. The agricultural lands and the livestock barns would be wholly contained within the retained lands, more than 1km from the proposed severed lot. As such, the proposed severance would not establish the creation of a new use and would be consistent with the PPS, County Official Plan and Township Official Plan direction that lands within Settlement Areas are to be the focus of growth and development. Additionally, the creation of the severed parcel would not result in the creation of insufficient setback values of any existing structures. The creation of the severed parcel would not impact the ability of the retained lands to function as a residential and agricultural property. Any future development on the retained parcel could be compliant with the requirements of the Zoning By-law. General Consent Policies Section 7.1o) of the Township Official Plan enables the Township to impose certain conditions to the approval of a severance. A standard condition of severance approval is a development agreement addressing matters, including but not limited to, lot grading and drainage. Such a requirements ensures that runoff, as a result of site alteration, is appropriately directed and does not result in flooding. As such, it is recommended that a development agreement be registered on the title of the severed lands to address measures related to lot grading and drainage. The recommended lot grading and drainage plan is to address existing and proposed grades and drainage patterns within and adjacent to the development envelope, entrance, well and septic locations. Section 7.1s) speaks to the applicant providing sufficient information to substantiate that all lots created have a source of potable water and appropriate sanitary sewage disposal facilities. The applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of Building Services that the severed parcel would have the ability to be serviced by a private sewage disposal system. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Further, the Township typically requires the ability to be serviced by a private well to be demonstrated as a condition of approval. Conclusion The lands to be severed and the lands to be retained would be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and in conformity with the land division policies (Section 7.1) of the Township Official Plan. The retained parcel would be in compliance with Zoning By-law 200375. The severed lands will be compliance with Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, pending the approval of the concurrently submitted minor variance application. Minor Variance The proposal needs to be assessed against the four tests of a minor variance outlines 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 residential uses on the proposed severed parcel within 500 metres of lands designated as Mineral Aggregate on Schedule A of the Township Official Plan. Section 5.5.2 of the Official Plan prohibits residential development within 300 metres of an existing quarry. The purpose of this prohibition is to protect against incompatible lands uses in the vicinity of Mineral Aggregate designations and to protect existing pits and quarries from other incompatible land uses. The proposed severed lot is located approximately 380 metres from the licensed area of the existing quarry to the southwest. Therefore, the proposed severed lot is outside of the 300 metre prohibition area. The Official Plan also establishes an additional 200 metre influence area. Within this area, residential land uses may be permitted, subject to additional technical assessment. The submitted Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Report (Arcadis, April 22, 2024) concluded that the approval of the severance would not result in any incompatibility and that it would be appropriate to permit residential development within the 200 metre influence area. 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 residential development adjacent to Mineral Aggregate resources. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The proposed severed parcel would be located approximately 380 metres from lands zoned Quarry ‘A’ Zone – Special Provision 1 (QA-1). Section 5.34.2 of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 states that residential land uses may be permitted on lands between 300 metres and 500 metres of an existing quarry provided a minor variance application is approved by the Township. The Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Report (Arcadis, April 22, 2024) concluded that the approval of the severance application will not result in any incompatibility with the quarry. Any negative land use compatibility outcomes would be mitigated by virtue of the minimum separation distances, the characteristics of the quarry www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
Page 94 of 187
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-BDJ-2024-0047 & PL-ZNA-2024-0048
operation, pre-existing regulatory controls, and to the intervening existing residential land uses. Therefore, Township Planning Staff feel that is appropriate to permit a minor variance which would enable residential land uses on the proposed lot380 metres from the existing quarry. It is the opinion of Township Planning Staff that the proposed variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Is the variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land? The requested variance is desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land. The proposal would facilitate the creation of residential uses on lands designated and zoned for residential development. Further, it is anticipated that there would be no negative impact on the existing aggregate operation as a result of the proposed severance. 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. The proposed severed lot and residential use will not further impact the quarry operation compared to existing development. Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Meeting 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

Tom Fehr
Subject:
Karl Szewerda (Owner) & Rod Stokes (Agent) Application for Minor Variance – PL-ZNA-2024-0061 Concession 3 Lot 23 Former Township of Bedford, Now the Township of South Frontenac; Roll Number: 102902003400000000 Civic Address: 100 Maple Grove Crescent ———————————————————————————————————–Dear Mr. Fehr, The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has reviewed the subject application 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 O. Regulation 41/24 under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act),
- Tay River Subwatershed Report 2017 – Bobs Lake Catchment
- The Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Plan. THE PROPOSAL The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority understands the applicant is seeking permission to expand a non-conforming use under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge a legal nonconforming dwelling and attached deck located within 30m of the highwater mark of Bobs Lake. The existing single storey dwelling has a ground floor area of 66.8sqm and an attached deck with an area of 35.8sqm. The ground floor area of the proposed dwelling will be 80.3sqm plus a 15.7sqm covered deck and 8sqm open deck. The gross floor area of the proposed dwelling includes a full basement and partial second storey and will be 192.7sqm. The overall footprint of development will be increasing from 102.7sqm to 104.2sqm. The height of the dwelling will be increasing from 5m to 8.9m. The proposed dwelling will maintain the existing 22.9m setback from the highwater mark of Bobs Lake. Page 1 of 3
Page 116 of 187
RVCA COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Review Comments Provincial Policy Statement Regarding 3.1 of the PPS, there are no natural hazards that would preclude this application. Ontario Regulation 41/24 Any proposed alterations to watercourses, including but not limited to, culvert installation, bridge crossings, diverting, dredging, realigning, and stabilizing, requires the prior written permission of the RVCA in accordance with Ontario Regulation 41/24 “Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits”. Mississippi Rideau Source Water Protection Plan Most of South Frontenac has been identified as a highly vulnerable aquifer as stated in the catchment report and 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 use 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 wells are located upgradient of septic sewage disposal systems,
•
ensuring that wells and septic systems are properly maintained,
•
avoiding use of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers.
Discussion & Recommendations From a natural hazard perspective, the proposed development is not inappropriate for the development of the subject property and will not result in undue adverse impacts on the surrounding properties. The proposed new dwelling will not encroach any closer to Bobs Lake and will maintain the 22.9m existing setback. Should the Committee support the proposed expansion of a non-conforming use, our office would have the following recommendations for conditions of any implementing agreement or notes to be included in the Committee’s notice of decision: We recommend the following best management practices for consideration should this application be approved. These include: •
Sediment and erosion controls between the construction area and the shoreline are to be installed prior to initiation of the work, to remain in place until the site has been allowed to regenerate and vegetation has been re-established to the satisfaction of the Township/Chief Building Official. Page 2 of 3
Page 117 of 187
•
Roof runoff shall be collected and directed on-site and away from the services, into lowlying natural areas to provide the greatest infiltration of surface runoff. Runoff should not outlet directly towards Bobs Lake. Other Low Impact Development (LID) techniques should be used to deal with the runoff from the hardened building surfaces (roofs, walkways and decks) and driveways.
•
Maintenance of the waterfront vegetative buffer with native woody plant cover is important. The woody vegetation cover will continue to stabilize the shore and slopes and help infiltrate stormwater runoff. As indicated in our site visit, the shoreline will remain undisturbed. If you would like more information on planting shorelines, please contact RVCA Shoreline Naturalization Program staff (Meaghan McDonald or Brandon Holden) at 1-800-267-3504 or 613-692-3571.
•
For any proposed future shoreline alterations, an RVCA section 28 permit may be required. Please contact RVCA if you plan any work along the shoreline.
Conclusion In conclusion, the RVCA does not object to the approval of the permission to expand a nonconforming use as presented. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned should you have any questions. Please advise the RVCA on the committee’s decision regarding this application or of any changes in its status.
Yours truly,
Michael Yee Environmental Planner & Biologist, RVCA 613-692-3571 X 1176

Permission Application (S. 45(2) of Planning Act) PL-ZNA-2024-0061, Szewerda (Stokes), 100 Maple Grove 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 dwelling under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, subject to conditions. Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: RLSW Proposal The applicant seeks to request permission under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge a legal non-conforming dwelling and attached deck located within 30m of the highwater mark of Bobs Lake. The existing single storey dwelling has a ground floor area of 66.8sqm and an attached deck with an area of 35.8sqm. The ground floor area of the proposed dwelling will be 80.3sqm plus a 15.7sqm covered deck and 8sqm open deck. The gross floor area of the proposed dwelling includes a full basement and partial second storey and will be 192.7sqm. The overall footprint of development will be increasing from 102.7sqm to 104.2sqm. The height of the dwelling will be increasing from 5m to 8.9m. The proposed dwelling will maintain the existing 22.9m setback from the highwater mark of Bobs Lake. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act. Property Description The subject property is small, having a lot area of 0.16ha with approximately 30m of frontage on Bobs Lake and is accessed from Maple Grove Crescent. The property has a depth of 64m. The property contains an existing dwelling with an attached deck and several small accessory structures. The property slopes gradually down from the rear of the www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2024-0061, Szewerda (Stokes), 100 Maple Grove Crescent, Storrington District
property towards the water and has mature tree cover. The property is located in an area of similar waterfront residential development. Department and Agency Comments The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority provided comments stating they have no objection to approval of the application. They recommended that appropriate sediment and erosion controls are incorporated into construction plans, that roof runoff is collected and directed away from the lake, and the maintenance and enhancement of a healthy buffer of native vegetation between the development and the lake. 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 RLSW in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The dwelling is a permitted use. Section 5.10.2 of the Zoning By-law states that existing buildings with less than the minimum 30 metre setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody may be repaired, renovated or strengthened to a safe condition provided there is no enlargement of the gross floor area or increase in height. This provision prohibits the enlargement of these existing buildings, without seeking permission from the Committee of Adjustment. The existing dwelling is a legal non-conforming building because it was constructed prior to the current Zoning By-law and is setback 22.9 metres from the highwater mark. Through its powers under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to enlarge the dwelling. 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 proposed dwelling will maintain the same setback from the water as the existing dwelling. The building location minimizes the amount of site disturbance and the amount of vegetation removal that would be required as proposed dwelling/deck footprint is only slightly larger (1.4sqm) than the existing dwelling/deck. This results in lot coverage being slightly increased from 6.4% to 6.5% for the primary dwelling. The existing dwelling is a one storey structure set on a pier foundation. The expanded dwellings will be adding a walkout basement and a partial second storey via a loft. The www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
Page 120 of 187
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2024-0061, Szewerda (Stokes), 100 Maple Grove Crescent, Storrington District
building height will slightly increase from 5 metres to 8.9 metres as a result of the full basement and the partial second storey. This is within the maximum permitted height of the RLSW zone. The increase in height should not result in any negative visual impacts as the height and massing of the proposed dwelling is typical for waterfront development in the area. Maintaining existing vegetation along the shoreline will assist in screening the development from the water and adjacent properties. Conclusion It is the opinion of staff that it is appropriate for the Committee of Adjustment to grant permission to expand the legal non-conforming dwelling on the property, as described in this report. Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 10 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given: • • •
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, approve application PL-ZNA-2024-0061 for 100 Maple Grove Crescent, 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 81 square metre ground floor area plus a 16 square metres covered deck and a 8 square metres open deck. The gross floor area is permitted to be 195 square metres. The replacement dwelling is permitted to have a maximum building height of 9 metres, and to maintain the highwater mark setback of the existing dwelling. The replacement dwelling and attached deck are to be consistent with the submitted plans 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 lake 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. That existing natural vegetation within 30 metres of the shoreline must be maintained. 3. A building permit is required for ALL proposed demolition and construction on the property. There shall be no additional development on the property without the approval from the Township of South Frontenac.

Relief from Township of South Frontenac Zoning By-law 2003-75 for the purpose of permitting a detached garage on the subject property. The applicant is proposing to build a 24 foot by 20 foot (480 square foot) detached garage. The garage would be setback 10 metres from the front lot line, whereas the Zoning By-law requires a 20 metres setback from the front lot line.
Natural Hazard policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and Quinte Conservation Planning Act Review policy Conservation Authorities have Provincially delegated responsibilities to represent Provincial interests regarding natural hazards under Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) (2020). Natural hazards include areas subject to flooding, prone to erosion, dynamic beaches, and unstable bedrock. Generally, the policies of the PPS direct development to areas outside of hazard lands. Staff are satisfied that the application as presented is consistent with Section 3.1 of the PPS, as the proposed development will occur beyond hazard lands.
Ontario Regulation #41/24 (Regulation of Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits) The subject lands lie within the regulated area of a watercourse/drainage feature located along the northeast property line, and an unnamed waterbody/wetland feature (by virtue of Ontario Regulation #41/24 – Regulation of Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits). The proposed detached garage falls beyond Quinte Conservation’s regulated area, therefore a permit from this office will not be required prior to construction. Comments:
For any future development activity (including construction / filling/ excavation/ site grading/ change of use) within 45 metres of the seasonal high-water mark of the watercourse/drainage feature, and within 45 metres of the waterbody/wetland feature will require a permit from this office.
Quinte Region Source Protection Plan Quinte Conservation provides Risk Management services as prescribed by the Clean Water Act, 2006 on behalf of member municipalities. Part of this is reviewing building and planning applications to ensure no new significant drinking water threats as outlined in the Quinte Region Source Protection Plan are created. Policies for significant threats in the Quinte Region Source Protection Plan are not applicable as the subject property lies outside of an intake protection zone or wellhead protection area for a municipal drinking water system. As such no Section 59 Clearance Notice is required.
Other Potential Township Studies As per Sections 21.1.1 and 21.1.2 of Ontario Regulation 596/22 (amendments made under the Conservation Authorities Act) as a result of the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, conservation authorities are no longer able to review or provide comment on Natural Heritage and Hydrogeology, nor is this office able to peer-review technical reports related to these maters. If Page 1 of 2
Page 140 of 187
the Township requests a hydrogeological assessment or Environmental Impact Study (EIS) it should be peer-reviewed by a qualified consultant. Final Comments:
Quinte Conservation has no objection to the minor variance application as presented. A permit will not be required from Quinte Conservation for construction of the proposed detached garage.

Subject:
Minor Variance Application (S. 45(1) of Planning Act) PL-ZNA-2024-0064, Fraser, 3535 Desert Lake Road, Portland District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of the subject application for zoning relief for a detached garage, subject to conditions, as this application meets the four tests of a minor variance outlined in section 45(1) of the Planning Act. Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Rural Proposal The applicant is proposing to construct a 24ft x 20ft (480sqft) detached garage on the subject property. The proposed detached garage is to be located 10m from the front lot line. Zoning Relief Requested Section 7.3.2 – to permit a detached garage to be setback a minimum of 10 metres from the front lot line, whereas a minimum 20 metres setback is required for all buildings and structures. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act. Property Description The subject property is approximately 2 acres in area with frontage on the south side of Desert Lake Road. Existing development consists of a single detached dwelling with attached garage and a detached storage structure. The developed portion of the property, near the existing dwelling, is mostly cleared of trees. Further, portions of the frontage (specifically the front corners) and the area to the rear of the dwelling are well vegetated. The abutting property to the south contains a large wetland/waterbody feature. A small portion of this feature encroaches into the southernmost corner of the subject property. Topography varies www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
Page 142 of 187
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2024-0064
significantly across the property’s extent. For example, the developed area is mostly flat, but has a steep drop off to the north of the existing dwelling. Additionally, there is a large granite outcropping to the immediate rear of the location of the proposed detached garage. The surrounding area consists of similar style rural residential development. Department and Agency Comments Quinte Conservation provide comment on June 25, 2024. QC Staff have no objection to the approval of the application based on consideration for natural hazard and regulatory policies. Further, Staff note that a development permit from Quinte Conservation will not be required for the construction of the proposed detached garage. Public Services provided comment in an email correspondence dated June 19, 2024. Public Services staff have no comment on the application as the proposed detached garage would be located outside of the road allowance. Further, Public Services staff confirmed that the two entrances on the subject property are valid and can continue to be used for access. Building Services did not provide comment on the application due to the nature of the proposal. Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time of the writing of this report. Planning Analysis The proposal needs to be assessed against the four tests of a minor variance outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. It is the opinion of Planning staff that the proposal meets the four tests as explained below. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The variance would facilitate the construction of a detached garage 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 of the Township. The proposed detached garage 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 RU zone. The proposed detached garage complies with all requirements of the Zoning By-law except the minimum setback from the front lot line.

Page 143 of 187
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2024-0064
Section 7.3.2 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 roadways and to ensure the rural character of the area is maintained. The subject property does feature physical constraints which limit the ability to build the proposed detached garage in a compliant location. For example, it would not be possible to build in immediate proximity of the existing dwelling due to a steep slope to north, the location of the septic system and well to the south. The applicant originally intended to locate the structure to the immediate rear of the proposed location, in compliance with the 20 metre front yard setback requirement. However, it was determined that a granite outcropping existed in this location and would require a large amount of site alteration (i.e. blasting) to accommodate development. Moving the structure further south would result in encroachment within 30 metres of the wetland/waterbody feature. Moving the structure north, as is proposed, would result in encroachment within 20m of the front lot line. A reduction in front yard setback was ultimately determined to be the most appropriate. In this location, the structure would be somewhat screened from the roadway by existing tree and vegetation cover. Further, a reduction in setback to 10m is unlikely to result in negative impacts the surrounding area or its rural character. It is the opinion of Township Planning 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 or use of the land. The proposed location of the detached garage will minimize the amount of site alteration required to build the structure. Further, the proposed detached garage will be partially screened from Desert Lake Road by existing tree and vegetation coverage. Is the variance minor? The requested variance is minor in nature 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. Setback 10 metres from the front lot line, there would be enough depth for a vehicle to safely stop or park on the driveway between the garage and the road. Finally, the proposed detached garage is not anticipated to result in negative impacts on surrounding properties or the road. Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 10 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given: • • •
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Minor Variance Application (S. 45(1) of Planning Act) PL-ZNA-2024-0072, Burt (Goodberry), 6079 Short Street, District of Portland
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of the subject application for zoning relief for the gross floor area of an additional dwelling unit, subject to conditions, as this application meets the four tests of a minor variance outlined in section 45(1) of the Planning Act. Background Official Plan Designation: Settlement Area Zoning: UR1 Proposal The Owner proposes to construct an additional dwelling unit as an addition to the existing single detached dwelling on the property. The proposed addition would be a two storey addition with a garage and shared laundry area on the lower level and the additional dwelling unit on the upper level. The Township Zoning By-law requires that additional dwelling units shall be less than or equal to the gross floor area of the principal dwelling. The gross floor area of the existing dwelling is 69sqm and the gross floor area of the proposed additional dwelling unit is 148sqm. A minor variance is requested to permit the additional dwelling unit to exceed the gross floor area of the existing principal dwelling. It is noted that the gross floor area of the proposed garage is not included in the gross floor area for the existing dwelling. Zoning Relief Requested Section 5.49.6.5 – to permit the maximum gross floor area of an additional dwelling unit to be 148sqm which exceeds the 69sqm gross floor area of the principal dwelling on the subject lands.

Page 163 of 187
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2024-0072
Related Applications The lands are not currently subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act. The minor variance application would only permit an additional dwelling unit (ADU) on the property to exceed the gross floor area of the principal dwelling - it does not permit an ADU to the constructed on the property. ADUs are subject to a holding overlay which can only be lifted once the owner demonstrates that the lot has an adequate supply of potable water to the satisfaction of the Township. The owner will be required to submit an application to lift the holding overlay (“h-lift”) on the property to permit an ADU to be on the subject property. Property Description The subject property is a residential property located within the settlement area of Verona. The lot area is 0.24ha and the lot frontage is minimal at approximately 7m as the property is located at the end of Short Street. Short Street is a dead-end street and does not have the typical turnaround that is present in most cul-de-sacs. The property is developed with a small single detached dwelling and some small sheds. The property is primarily manicured lawn and is located within a residential area with other similar residential uses. Department and Agency Comments The application was circulated to Public Services who did not note any concerns with the application. They noted that winter operations currently turn around on this property in the location of the proposed addition when plowing Short Street. They advised that the addition would not impact winter maintenance as there are other options available to maintain Short Street including piling snow to the right of the entrance to the property or plowing the snow out to Bank Street. Public Comments No public comments were received at the time of writing 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 variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan for ADUs. The Township Official Plan permits ADUs on lands where a single detached dwelling, semidetached dwelling, or townhouse is the principal use permitted in the Agricultural, Settlement Area and Rural designations. The property contains a single detached dwelling and is designated Settlement Area, therefore the property is eligible for an ADU, subject to several criteria being demonstrated. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
Page 164 of 187
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2024-0072
Section 6.28 of the Official Plan outlines a number of criteria that must be demonstrated in order to permit an ADU. a. It is demonstrated that the lot has an adequate supply of potable water and sufficient land area for the required sewage system to the satisfaction of the Township; The Township has established a Holding Overlay in the Zoning By-law identified as “Additional Dwelling Unit Holding Overlay – Water Supply/Water Quality”. The Holding Overlay applies to the development of one or more additional dwelling units. Prior to the removal of any lot from a Holding Overlay and the issuance of a building permit for an additional dwelling unit, the condition that must be satisfied that the lot has an adequate supply of potable water for the ADU in accordance with the Municipality’s Standard for Hydrogeological Assessment. The subject minor variance application pertains only to the size of the proposed ADU relative to the size of the principal dwelling on the property. A separate h-lift application will be required to clear the condition pertaining to the demonstration of adequate supply of potable water. b. The additional dwelling unit is located within the principal dwelling unit or a detached accessory structure; The proposed ADU will be located in an new addition that is to be attached to the principal dwelling. c. The additional dwelling unit is designed and located in such a manner to avoid adverse impacts on the residential character of the property and the surrounding neighbourhood; The proposed ADU is located in an area that complies with all applicable setback provisions. An existing buffer of trees separates the ADU from the abutting property to the south. The ADU and associated addition is of a size and scale that is similar to dwellings in the surrounding area. d. A detached additional dwelling unit shall be located in proximity to the principal dwelling unit; This policy does not apply to the proposed ADU as it is located in an addition. e. Parking for the additional dwelling unit is provided in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning By-law; There is ample parking area on the property to accommodate the additional parking spaces required for the ADU. f. The additional dwelling unit is addressed in accordance with the Township’s civic addressing by-law; Addressing for the ADU would occur at the building permit stage. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
Page 165 of 187
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2024-0072
g. The lot has direct access from a year-round maintained publicly owned road, or a private lane within an approved plan of condominium, or a private road that has been constructed to Township standards and that is maintained year-round. For a private lane, the Township will require documentation demonstrating that year-round maintenance is provided; and The property is located on Short Street which is a Township road that is maintained year round. h. The lands are not located in a floodplain; The property is not located within the flooding hazard. The proposed ADU is larger than the principal dwelling, however it meets all the criteria listed in the Official Plan for permitting an ADU with the exception of demonstrating a water supply which will be addressed through an h-lift application. The application maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The proposed ADU is a permitted use in the UR1 zone because it is associated with a single detached dwelling. The Township Zoning By-law has policies in Section 5.49 that regulate ADUs and implement Section 6.28 of the Official Plan. Section 5.49.4 requires a demonstration of an adequate supply of potable water for an ADU. This criteria will be reviewed through an h-lift application and is outside the scope of the subject minor variance. The proposed ADU will comply with all other requirements of Section 5.49, except for Section 5.49.6.5 which states that the maximum gross floor area of the ADU will not exceed the gross floor area of the principal dwelling. The intent of this provision is to limit the size of ADUs in situations where a property already contains a large principal dwelling so that an even larger ADU could not then also be constructed on the property. The proposed ADU is 148sqm and the existing single detached dwelling is 69sqm. The existing single detached dwelling on the property is small and is less than the 89sqm minimum gross floor area for new single detached dwellings in the UR1 zone. The relief is required primarily due to the small size of the existing single detached dwelling, not because the ADU itself is large. The footprint of the enlarged structure will be 190sqm, which is similar to other dwelling sizes in the surrounding area. The resulting lot coverage would be 7.9% which complies with the maximum permitted lot coverage of 30% for the UR1 zone. The location of the ADU addition will comply with all setback requirements of the UR1 zone. 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 variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the land. The structure will be located in an appropriate and practical area where there are no impacts anticipated on the subject or abutting properties. The size of the proposed ADU is appropriate for the property and the surrounding area. It is a goal of the Township to promote a greater range of housing types. The proposed ADU aligns with this Township objective. Is the variance minor? The requested variance is minor as it maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is desirable for the appropriate development of the land. It is not anticipated to impact the existing or planned functionality of the property and adjacent properties. Public Services has confirmed winter maintenance will not be impacted. Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 10 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given: • • •
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies
Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, approve minor variance application PL-ZNA-2024-0072 for 6079 Short Street, subject to the following conditions.
- The minor variance is for an additional dwelling unit (ADU). The ADU is permitted to have a maximum gross floor area of 148sqm. The location of the ADU on the property must be consistent with the application sketch provided with the application.
- A building permit is required for ALL proposed demolition and construction on the property. There shall be no additional development on the property without the approval from the Township of South Frontenac.
- Minor variance PL-ZNA-2024-0072 is applicable only to Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 and not to any subsequent zoning by-laws. Report Prepared By: Tom Fehr, Planner www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Natural Hazard policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and Quinte Conservation Planning Act Review policy Conservation Authorities have Provincially delegated responsibilities to represent Provincial interests regarding natural hazards under Section 3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) (2020). Natural hazards include areas subject to flooding, prone to erosion, dynamic beaches, and unstable bedrock. Generally, the policies of the PPS direct development to areas outside of hazard lands. Staff are satisfied that the application as presented is consistent with Section 3.1 of the PPS.
Ontario Regulation #41/24 (Regulation of Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits) The subject lands lie within the regulated area of the Sigsworth Lake (by virtue of Ontario Regulation #41/24 – Regulation of Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits). Please note that the owners will need to apply to the Conservation Authority for a permit prior to development activity (including construction / filling/ excavation/ site grading/ change of use) within 45 metres of the top of bank adjacent to Sigsworth Lake. The proposed sunroom and deck/stairway extension will require a permit from Quinte Conservation prior to construction. Comments:
These planning comments do not constitute permission to develop within a Quinte Conservation regulated area. The permitting process is a separate process from the plan review process, and a separate fee will be applied to future permit application(s) to this office.
Quinte Region Source Protection Plan Quinte Conservation provides Risk Management services as prescribed by the Clean Water Act, 2006 on behalf of member municipalities. Part of this is reviewing building and planning applications to ensure no new significant drinking water threats as outlined in the Quinte Region Source Protection Plan are created. Policies for significant threats in the Quinte Region Source Protection Plan are not applicable as the subject property lies outside of an intake protection zone or wellhead protection area for a municipal drinking water system. As such no Section 59 Clearance Notice is required.
Other Potential Township Studies As per Sections 21.1.1 and 21.1.2 of Ontario Regulation 596/22 (amendments made under the Conservation Authorities Act) as a result of the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, conservation authorities are no longer able to review or provide comment on Natural Heritage and Page 1 of 2

Hydrogeology, nor is this office able to peer-review technical reports related to these maters. If the Township requests a hydrogeological assessment or Environmental Impact Study (EIS) it should be peer-reviewed by a qualified consultant. Final Comments:
Quinte Conservation has no objection to the minor variance application as presented. The proposed sunroom and deck/stairway extension will require a permit from Quinte Conservation prior to construction.

Permission Application (S. 45(2) of Planning Act) PL-ZNA-2024-0074, Franche, 1112 Old Mine Lane, 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: RW Proposal To request permission under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge a legal nonconforming dwelling and attached deck located within 30m of the highwater mark of Sigsworth Lake. The existing dwelling has a ground floor area of 89.2sqm and an attached deck with an area of 17.9sqm. The dwelling will be expanded with a 26.8sqm sunroom attached to the west side of the existing dwelling. The deck will be extended by 6.8sqm with an area of new decking proposed in front of the sunroom. The height of the dwelling will not be increased as a result of the development. The existing dwelling and attached deck are set back 20.4m and 18m from the highwater mark of Sigsworth Lake. The proposed sunroom and deck extension will maintain these setbacks and not encroach closer to the water. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act. Property Description The subject property 0.4ha with approximately 66m of frontage on Sigsworth Lake and is accessed from Old Mine Lane. The property has a depth of 61m. The property contains an existing dwelling with an attached deck and an accessory structure. The property is level from the laneway until the rear of the dwelling where it then slopes down towards the water. The property is on shallow bedrock that is visible at the surface and has some mature trees. The property is located in an area of similar waterfront residential development. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2024-0074, Franche, 1112 Old Mine Lane, Loughborough District
Department and Agency Comments Comments have not been received from Quinte Conservation at the time of writing this report. At the preconsultation stage they did not indicate any concerns with the proposal as the addition and deck are to be located on granite bedrock. They noted that a permit for the development would be required 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 dwelling is a permitted use. Section 5.10.2 of the Zoning By-law states that existing buildings with less than the minimum 30 metre setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody may be repaired, renovated or strengthened to a safe condition provided there is no enlargement of the gross floor area or increase in height. This provision prohibits the enlargement of these existing buildings, without seeking permission from the Committee of Adjustment. The existing dwelling is a legal non-conforming building because it was constructed prior to the current Zoning By-law and is setback 20.4 metres from the highwater mark. Through its powers under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to enlarge the dwelling. 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 proposed sunroom addition and attached deck will maintain the same setback from the water as the existing dwelling/deck. The addition and deck will be located on a primarily exposed bedrock area, this location minimizes the amount of site disturbance and the amount of vegetation removal that would be required. The development will increase lot coverage from 2.8% to 3.5%. The existing dwelling is a one storey structure. The building height will not be increasing as a result of the sunroom addition. The addition should not result in any negative visual impacts as the addition is a minor extension of the front wall of the welling that will maintain the same height and massing as the existing dwelling. Maintaining existing vegetation along the shoreline will assist in screening the development from the water and adjacent properties. www.southfrontenac.net Page 181 of 187 South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
