File: S-68-21-P
Planning Analysis The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2020 and conforms to the County of Frontenac Official Plan. Township Official Plan requires that all new rural lots front onto and gain direct access from an existing public road which reflects a reasonable standard of pavement or gravel construction and is maintained year round by the municipality. The Township Official Plan does not contemplate the creation of new lots without frontage on an existing public road. Zoning By-law requires new lots to have 76 metres of road frontage. Currently no existing road frontage on the severed parcel Page 16 of 200
Applicants need to extend the road in order to gain frontage
File: S-68-21-P
Planning Analysis Township Staff and City of Kingston Staff are agreeable with a road extension at the expense of the applicant, to provide the required lot frontage for the severed parcel. Therefore, with the correct conditions in place, the proposal meets the general intent of the Official Plan will be able to comply with land division policies

Dear Ms. Hannah: Re:
Application for Consent to Sever S-68-21-P (Hawley) Part Lot 9, Concession 1; 0 Wilton Road Township of South Frontenac (Portland District) Waterbody: Unevaluated Wetlands
Cataraqui Conservation staff have reviewed the above-noted application for consent to sever and offer the following comments for the Land Division Committee’s consideration. Summary of Proposal The applicant has requested severance of a 1.0 hectare parcel of land from with a minimum of 76 metres of frontage onto Cummins Road from a property with frontage on Wilton Road. The applicants are extending the existing public road known as Cummins Road to provide road frontage for the severed parcel. The retained lands will retain the existing development and will be approximately 34.5 hectares in area with approximately 99 metres of frontage onto Wilton Road. Site Description The property is located on the east side of Wilton Road south of Henderson Road. The topography of the lot to be severed can be characterized as being relatively flat with overland drainage in an easterly direction. Mapping suggests that the retained parcel contains a number of unevaluated wetland features. However, there are no natural hazard or natural heritage features identified that are associated with the lot to be severed.

The property is currently designated ‘Rural’ in the Official Plan and ‘Rural’ (RU) and ‘Environmentally Sensitive’ in the implementing Zoning By-law for South Frontenac Township. The environmentally sensitive designation appears to correspond with the location of the unevaluated wetlands on the retained parcel. Discussion The main interests of Cataraqui Conservation with respect to this application are the avoidance of natural hazards (e.g. flooding), protection of the unevaluated wetlands and water quality. Natural Hazards Flooding: Flood plain mapping is not available for the unevaluated wetlands on the retained lot. Section 5.8.2 of the Zoning By-law specifies that no building or structure or septic tank installation shall be located within a minimum 30 metres horizontal of the highwater mark of a waterbody or watercourse. Similarly, Cataraqui Conservation’s Environmental Planning Policy (EPP, 2021) also suggests a 30 metre setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody for new development, provided that, in the opinion of staff, there is sufficient difference in elevation (to be determined on a case by case basis). Based upon a review of relevant mapping, the severed lot and the retained lot appear to contain considerable area for future development outside of any area that may be susceptible to flooding. Natural Heritage and Water Quality As noted above, the lands contain some unevaluated wetland features which are identified as being environmentally sensitive. Section 5.2.7 of the Official Plan suggests that lands within 90 metres of the highwater mark of such a feature may be developed in accordance with the underlying land use designation when an Environmental Impact Assessment is prepared that indicates that no negative impacts will occur to the natural features or the ecological functions of the feature. The Official Plan also recognizes the need to minimize impacts to water quality by reducing phosphorous inputs, preventing erosion and maintaining natural appearances. Accordingly, policies have been included that can vary the setback from the highwater mark from 30 to 90 metres depending on the site characteristics such as steepness of slope, vegetation cover, soil depth and soil phosphorus retention. Section 5.2.7 (b)(ii)(3) of the Official Plan indicates that a reduction from the setback may only be considered if

Page 3 of 3
it is not physically possible or environmentally desirable to meet the 30 metre setback requirement, and that there will be no negative impacts to fish habitat or water quality. Similar to the Official Plan, Cataraqui Conservation’s EPP suggests that proposals for development should incorporate a minimum 30 metre setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody in order to protect the water quality of surface water. In this instance, there appears to be suitable development envelopes outside of the required setbacks for natural heritage features and water quality on the lot to be severed and the lot to be retained. Recommendation Staff have no objection to the approval of application S-68-21-P based on our consideration for natural hazards, natural heritage, and water quality and quantity protection policies. Ontario Regulation 148/06 Cataraqui Conservation, under Ontario Regulation 148/06: Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses, regulates development within 15 metres of a flood plain or erosion hazard, and within 30 metres of an unevaluated wetland. Portions of the retained lot are subject to Ontario Regulation 148/06. The applicant or future owners of the retained lot will be required to contact the undersigned at the building permit stage for more information regarding permitting requirements under Ontario Regulation 148/06. Please notify this office of any decision made by the Committee with regard to this application. If you have any questions, please contact Andrew Schmidt at (613) 5464228 extension 244 or by e-mail at aschmidt@crca.ca. Yours truly,

Background By-law 2020-27 delegates approval of undisputed consent applications to the Director of Development Services, or their designate. This application as it stands does not meet all the By-law 2020-27 criteria for an undisputed consent application as it does not conform to the Official Plan or comply with Zoning By-law policies as there is not currently lot frontage on Cummins Road. Therefore, the Director of Development Services cannot make a decision on the application. The Committee of Adjustment will hear the application at its November 11th meeting for a decision.
Proposal The purpose of this consent application is to create a new residential lot. The subject property is located on the south side of Wilton Road and on the north side of Cummins Road. Cummins Road is on the shared road allowance between the Township of South Frontenac and the City of Kingston. There is existing residential development and agricultural operations along Wilton Road and Cummins Road. The subject lands consist of, and are surrounded by, farmland and forest. The severed parcel is located at the south end of the subject property along the Cummins Road allowance. Cummins Road currently ends to the west of the severed parcel. The applicants are proposing to extend this public road to provide frontage for the severed parcel. Cummins Road is jointly owned by the Township of South Frontenac and the City of Kingston. The severed parcel will be approximately 1 hectare (2.7 acres) in area and have a minimum of 76 metres (250 feet) of frontage on Cummins Road. The severed parcel is vacant and is predominantly treed. The retained parcel will be approximately 34.5 hectares (85.2 acres) in area and have approximately 99 metres (+/- 326 feet) of frontage on Wilton Road. The retained parcel is vacant and consists predominantly of farmland and forested areas. There are small pockets of wetland located in the south and middle of the retained parcel.
Department, Agency and Public Comments Public Services – Comments received from Public Services on October 3, 2021 indicated that Cummins Road would need to be extended and a new turning circle constructed to provide the severed parcel with frontage on a public road. It is anticipated that a road widening will be needed for the construction of an off turning circle design. Drainage will need to be reviewed as part of the design process for extending and building the public road, as the area is very flat. There would be adequate sight lines for an entrance for the severed parcel on the new road. Public Services have no objection to the approval of the application on the condition that the severed parcel be subject to an agreement to construct the roadway in accordance with the Township and City of Kingston Public Road Standards and the applicant will need to post the appropriate securities related to the works. City of Kingston – City of Kingston Planning Services Staff provided comments in an e-mail dated September 29, 2021 that they have no concerns with the application from a land-use perspective, nor to the extension of Cummins Road. City of Kingston Staff have requested that the following matters be required as conditions of approval:
the applicant acknowledges the required extension of Cummins Road is geographically located within both the Township of South Frontenac and the City of Kingston; the applicant will be required to provide detailed engineering design for the road extension and turning circle, including but not limited to geotechnical investigation, to the satisfaction and approval of both municipalities; the applicant will be required to enter into a construction agreement with the two municipalities that specifies all costs for investigation, design construction, contract administration, financial 2

Page 78 of 200
security, and any other expenses required for the road extension to the satisfaction of both municipalities; that all costs are the responsibility of the applicant. The construction agreement will require the applicant to provide financial security totalling 100% of the estimated construction costs in a form satisfactory to both municipalities; and the applicant acknowledges that the roadway must be constructed and operational to the satisfaction of both municipalities prior to issuance of the Certificate of Official.
Building Services (Sewage System Review) – Comments received from Building Services on October 27, 2021 indicate that they have no objection to the approval of the application. Comments note that the severed parcel is capable of providing flexibility in siting a sewage disposal system. Furthermore, it notes that depending on the location, soil conditions will require additional suitable granular soil to construct a sewage disposal system; specific requirements for additional soil will be addressed prior to site development. Cataraqui Conservation – Comments received from Cataraqui Conservation on September 23, 2021 indicate that Cataraqui Conservation has no objection to the approval of the application. It was noted that there are no natural hazard or natural heritage features associated with the severed parcel. Furthermore, it was noted that there are considerable areas outside of any area that may be susceptible to flooding on the retained parcel and outside the waterbody setback from the wetlands located on the retained parcel for both the severed and retained parcel for future development to occur. It was noted that a permit under O. Reg 148/06 may be required for future development and site alteration on the retained parcel within 30 metres of the wetlands. The applicant or future owner of the property must contact Cataraqui Conservation at the building permit stage. Public Comments – One member of the public inquired about the public road standards and how the City of Kingston will be involved. Township staff spoke with the individual and provided them with a copy of the Township of South Frontenac Road and Lane Standard Cross-Section Policy and walked them through the process of what would be required to build a new road. They were satisfied that Public Services from both the City of Kingston and the Township of South Frontenac are involved in the process.
Analysis The Provincial Policy Statement 2020 (PPS) promotes efficient land use and development patterns which sustain the well-being of the Province and municipalities over the long term and that support strong, liveable and healthy communities, protect the environment and public health and safety, and facilitate economic growth (section1.1.1a). The Provincial Policy Statement 2020 permits residential development in the rural designation that is locally appropriate and is appropriate to the infrastructure which is planned or available while avoiding the need for the unjustified and/or economical expansion of this infrastructure The PPS also promotes development that is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels. The County of Frontenac Official Plan (section 3.3), consistent with the PPS, permits residential development in the Rural designation provided that the new development should not be located on lands which would involve major public expense in opening up or maintaining access routes, or providing other public services facilities, unless the public services, access and/or facilities are provided at the developer’s expense. Section 7.1(a) of the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan requires that new lots will have no adverse environmental, social or economic impact on the Township or adjacent land uses. The proposed extension of Cummins Road will be constructed at the applicant’s expense. All costs for investigation, design construction, contract administration, financial security, and any other expenses required for the road extension will be the responsibility of the applicant. Therefore, the financial burden on the municipalities will be minor. 3

Page 79 of 200
The new road will benefit the severed parcel as well as one existing lot located in the City of Kingston. The road extension is proposed to service one lot and will provide a suitable turn-around area for winter maintenance and waste collection vehicles to maneuver. The impact of the road extension is minimal and the purpose of the road is to serve new development. Section 7.1 (h) of the Township Official Plan requires that all new rural lots front onto and gain direct access from an existing public road which reflects a reasonable standard of pavement or gravel construction and is maintained year round by the municipality. The Township Official Plan does not contemplate the creation of new lots without frontage on an existing public road. There is currently no existing road frontage on the severed parcel, therefore, the applicants need to extend the road in order to gain frontage. The severed parcel could only be supported by staff if Cummins Road is first extended. By requiring the applicants to construct the road prior to the signing of the Certificate of Official, the road will be existing at the time the consent approval is finalized. Township Public Services and City of Kingston Planning Services are agreeable with a road extension at the expense of the applicant, to provide the required lot frontage for the severed parcel. Therefore, with the correct conditions in place, the proposal meets the general intent of the Official Plan will be able to comply with land division policies (section 7.1). In order to ensure that the public road will be built to Township of South Frontenac Public Road standards the applicant will need to enter into a construction agreement with both the Township of South Frontenac and the City of Kingston to design and construct the roadway as per comments from Public Services and the City of Kingston. The road will be brought up to an appropriate municipal standard as contemplated in section 4.10(a)(ix) of the Township Official Plan. There has been no previous severance from the subject property since the adoption of the Township Official Plan in September of 2000. In accordance with Section 5.7.4 of the Official Plan, the severed parcel is eligible as a rural residential severance. The severed parcel meets the Rural Residential policies (section 5.7.4(ii)) including having a size and shape that conforms to the zoning by-law, the ability to be serviced by a private sewage disposal system. The Township requires the ability to be serviced by a private well to be demonstrated as a condition of consent approval. Section 5.7.4 (ii)(d) requires that all rural residential lots have public road frontage. Section 5.7.4 (ii)(a) requires new rural lots to have at least 76 metres of frontage on a public road. As mentioned above, a condition of approval for the severance will be that the applicants extend Cummins Road by 76 metres to provide the required minimum 76 metres of frontage for the severed parcel. Through conditions, the requirement to have frontage on a public road will be met and can achieve what the Official Plan contemplates. There is sufficient area on the retained parcel and the severed parcel for development to occur outside the minimum 30 metre setback from the wetlands on the retained parcel as required by section 5.2 of the Official Plan, and by Zoning By-law No. 2003-75.
Conclusion The proposal for the construction of a road and the creation of a new lot will be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2020 and the County of Frontenac Official Plan, the South Frontenac Official Plan and will comply with the Township of South Frontenac Zoning By-law, subject to conditions. It is recommended that application S-68-21-P be approved for the consent to create a new residential lot in Part Lot 9, Concession 1, District of Portland, Township of South Frontenac, subject to conditions.

Allow for increased lot coverage of the house, and a reduction of the 15 metre setback from the top of the slope to 9.8 metres (or, a reduction of the 30 metre setback from the high water mark to 25.2 metres) for the proposed dwelling; and, a reduction of the 30 metre setback from the high water mark to 27.1 metres for the proposed garage. A variance is also required from the septic system to the interior lot line and the setback from the lane.
Application Description:
Minor Variance File No. MV-4820-P
Feature:
Verona (Rock) Lake Planning Act - 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. Quinte Conservation has reviewed the Slope and Erosion Assessment prepared by Concord Engineering (dated March 30, 2021). The slope was identified as marble bedrock and is “resistant to erosion and stable at vertical slopes within the context of 100 years”. This resulted in a reduction of the 15 metre setback to 9.8 metres from the top of the slope for all development, which is easily identified and measured from the existing wooden staircase located at the crest of the slope. It should be noted that the 9.8 metres from the top of the slope is measured to the proposed dwelling, as illustrated in the “Building Permit Application Plot Plan”. It is understood that there will be no deck proposed to be attached to the dwelling.
Comments:
As per the Slope and Erosion Assessment report and “Building Permit Application Plot Plan” provided with the application, Quinte Conservation staff support the reduction in the setback from the slope and are satisfied that the application as presented is consistent with section 3.1 of the PPS as development will be located outside of any natural or flood-related hazard.
Ontario Regulation #319/09 (Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses The subject lands lie within the regulated area of Verona (Rock) Lake (by virtue of Ontario Regulation #319/09 – Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses). Please note that the owners will need to apply to the Conservation Authority for a permit prior to development (construction / filling/ excavation/ site grading) within 45 metres of the top of the bank adjacent to Verona (Rock) Lake.
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.
Page 1 of 2
Page 98 of 200
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.
Planning Act - Natural Heritage policies of the Provincial Policy Statement Section 2.1 of the Natural Heritage policies of the Provincial Policy Statement protects features including (but not limited to); Provincially Significant Wetlands, significant woodlands and significant Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest. The subject lands do not lie within a Provincially Significant Wetland, or within an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest. Further, an Environmental Impact Study was not provided with the current planning application, and as per Quinte Conservation’s Regulation and Policies we will not be recommending one. Final Comments:
As per the Slope and Erosion Assessment report and “Building Permit Application Plot Plan”, Quinte Conservation has no objection to the application as presented.

Dear Sirs:
TOWNSHIP OF
SOUTH FRONTENAC Re: Application for Minor Variance ‘°”*”““NG DEPARTMENT File No.: MV-48-20-P Lot 8 Cone. 11 District of Portland 2353 Silver Rock Lane Verona Lake —
Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you regarding the above Application. My husband and I purchased the cottage property in 1978, and enjoyed the cottage for many years, however now it belongs to my daughter and son—in-law, Jo-Ann & Frank
Klieber. In 2004, I had plans drawn up to build a house on the lot property, but as I was leaving the Township Of?ce, after approval and submitting a cheque, I was told a house had to be built within one year, I had to withdraw my application for the Permit at that time, due to illness in the family, as Icou1dn’t go ahead with the construction.
A couple of years later, I again planned on selling my home in Kingston, and moving to the above lot property, but after I had Mr. Revelle from the Township O?ice visit my property, he said thatl could only build a 600 sq. ft. house. He stood on the property where I could build, and was very adamant that I could only build a small 600 sq. ft. House, and de?nitely no garage. This was also con?rmed by Mr. Lindsey Mills, when I visited the Township Office at a later date. Since this was after the OMB Hearings‘ ?nal decision, the house would have to be 98.4 ft. from the water on this second application for a Permit.
Since this was not suitable for me, I then sold the lot property to my Grandson, Frank M. Klieber, thinking he could build a small cottage or ?shing cabin, whatever. In View of the proposed Application for Minor Variance, I feel this would be very unfair, as I was de?nitely planning on building there myself earlier, but was denied the
opportunity.
Page 101 of 200
I de?nitely agree with my daughter’s family that the proposed structures as detailed in this Application for Minor Variance would detract greatly from the ‘quiet enjoyment’ of the cottage property re the size, loss of privacy, views, height, shadowing,noise, etc. If approved, this Variance, being NOT minor, as it is over twice the regulated requested size of 5%, would greatly affect the use of the cottage in a most negative way.
I also believe it is not in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, 2003-75, which contain the goals and objectives of the municipality regarding the regulation of the height, bulk, mass, size, spacing, and the general character of the area. As stated previously, there are many factors, i.e. privacy issues, views, height, shadowing, noise, parking, etc. Which would de?nitely affect the quiet enjoyment of the abutting cottage, and detract greatly from its use. I also think approval of this Application for Minor Variance would set a very bad precedent for the area, as many others would begin seeking Minor Variances for their properties, causing confusion and unnecessary administrative costs and upset.
Thanks for your consideration in this matter. Respect?illy, /

As we are the present owners of 1033 Morning Glory Lane, and this property has been in our family since 1978, we feel the above Application would have a very detrimental effect on our cottage property.
We would appreciate your considerationregarding the negative effects to our property:
We personally do NOT believe this variance is a MINOR one. It is more than 100% increase in size for the garage and house. It is not just an addition of a deck or change in a driveway, which would be considered MINOR. This application is for a high two—storey structure to be built on an elevated property of at least 10-12 ft., as well as a large, oversized wrap-around deck.. The end result would be a home and a garage towering over our small cottage, which would de?nitely obscure the sunlight, causing the cottage to be in a shadow many of the daylight hours. This loss of sunlight would de?nitely affect the quality of life at our cottage.. One would barely be able to see the sky past these huge structures. 2. There would also be a de?nite loss of PRIVACY. The inhabitantsof the proposed structure would be in a location which would allow them to look down at all times at our lower—levelcottage and the activities of the people there. They would be able to constantly monitor everything going on at the cottage…tota1lyunacceptable. This would result in visual intrusion, as the living-room, bedroom and kitchen windows are on the same side as the proposed structure, withtheir large deck facing us. From what we understand from the drawings, the deck alone would be 608 sq. Ft. (that’s almost another cottage in itself). Any outside activities, such as gardening, sunbathing, etc. would be totally exposed to those living in the proposed structure. 3.
As far as the VIEW is concerned, there would be no view as the View from the existing living-room, kitchen, and bedroomwindows at our cottage would look directly at the back of a garage and over-towering house, whereas previously one could look across an open space which de?nitely adds to one’s relaxation and enjoyment. Instead there would be a de?nite barrier/obstruction. Also, the aesthetic aspect would be totally lost, as there would be less trees and greenery in that area.
The size, height, and bulk of the proposed structures would totally detract from the openness and views of the existing cottage. The negative impact of insensitive and obstructive overbuilding on greenery and openness would be a de?nite consideration. Instead of 6% use of the property, as stated on the Minor Variance Application, which should be 5%, the proposed buildings would use 10.9% of the property., not including the huge wrap-around deck.

4. NOISE There will be deafening noise during constructionand during later visitationsand gatherings, adversely affecting the quiet enjoyment of us using the cottage. —
The above long-established amenities regarding openness and Viewsince 1978 would be adversely affected by approval of this Minor Variance. 5. Regardingthe ten square metre accessory structure, which they propose to be demolished,there never has been a ten square metre building there on the Lot, so that should not be considered as a garage replacement. Our son purchased the Lot property from my mother, but he was told by Lindsay Mills that he could ONLY build a 600 sq. ft. home on it…de?nitely no garage or accessory buildings. It would have to be 100 ft. back from the high-water mark. This discouraged him from building so he put it up for sale. It was on the market for over two years and because of the said above limitationson the Lot, he had to reduce the Selling Price of the property, thus taking a huge loss.
We were considering buying our son’s lot, but after speaking with Lindsey Mills at the Township Office, and his determinedargument that we could only add on a 10’ x 20’ addition to our existing cottage, we decided it wasn’t worth purchasing the lot, and would only be able to add a small addition. It would be veryunfair to us and also our son if this Committee of Adjustment were to allow such contravention of the existing by-laws and Official Plan.
In closing, we would like to state that the variance is NOT minor, and the proposed Minor Variance is not appropriate for this parcel of land as it is not the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaws. Approval of this Minor Variance Application would most de?nitely contravene the intent and purpose for which these Zoning By-laws and O?icial Plan were created.
Also, the approval of this Minor Variance would set a very poor precedent for the other cottagers and home owners in our neighbourhood, and will DEFINITELYlower the value as well as the enjoyment of our
family-heritagecottage.
Thanks very much for considerationregarding our concerns. Kind regards,

February-09-21 6:10 PM planning Michelle Hannah MINOR VARIANCE #MV-48-20-P
I was the previous owner of 2353 Silver rock lane. While I owned the lot, I had planned to build a house and garage but due to the small lot size and after speaking with Lindsay Mills about what I wanted to do, it was made CLEAR that I was only allowed to do a total of 600sq/ft house with a setback of 100 feet from waters edge and DEFINITELY NO OTHER BUILDINGS (GARAGE) on the property. As he was so adamant nothing more could be built, I decided to sell the property as I need a garage. The lot was first listed with Ernie Sparks who works for REMAX reality for $129,000 and due to the small size and people doing their research and knowing they could not build over the 600sq/ft total, it deterred people from the lot. It ended up running out with Ernie Sparks and was relisted with Jason Sands for $120,000. Again the lot did not move due to the size of home that was allowed to be built on it. The listing ran out and was re-listed with Adam Rayner from SUTTON group and sold to the present owner for $62,000 because lack of interest due to the limitations of building size.
So needless to say it’s frustrating to hear the current owners are asking to build a house and garage which is 10.9% lot coverage as it was made CLEAR to me and previous interested buyers that only 5% was allowed. Also there was NEVER a 10sq/m (100sq/ft) accessory structure or ANY building of any sort on the lot as they the minor variance application states. I sure hope the existing bylaws and official plan is followed and enforced as it was on me and also only getting half the price of what it was originally listed for due to the existing bylaw limitations. If this is passed its setting a president for the neighbourhood and also will take away the enjoyment and whole purpose of having a cottage when you have an OVERSIZED building next door and so close to my parents cottage. As well as it will significantly decrease the value of my parents property as it’s not appealing to possible future buyers if they ever decided to sell. Thank you for your time and listening to my concerns in this matter.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Minor Variance Application MV-48-20-P, Kulchitskaya, ROLL #: 102908009005610, Verona Lake, Portland District
Section 10.3.1: Lot Coverage – To permit a single detached dwelling to have a maximum lot coverage of 6%, whereas the Zoning By-law permits a maximum of 5% lot coverage for the principal building.
Discussion/Analysis Summary of Proposal An application for minor variance was received in November 2020 to permit a single detached dwelling with an attached deck, and a detached garage within the required minimum 30 metre setback from the highwater mark of Verona Lake. This application was revised to exclude an attached deck. Subject Property The subject property is located at the intersection of Morning Glory Lane and Rocky Shore Lane, which are accessed off Silver Rock Lane, off Hinchinbrooke Road. The subject property is 0.3 acres (0.12 hectares) in size, and has frontage on Verona Lake. A hydro line runs across the subject property from east to west approximately 10 metres from the Morning Glory lane. The topography of the subject property can be described as rising steeply from the shoreline of Verona Lake to a flat plateau where the development is proposed. The subject property contains an existing shed, as well as a set of stairs and a landing leading down to the lake. Original Application The application received in November 2020 proposed a single detached dwelling with attached deck and a detached garage. The single detached dwelling was proposed to be two storeys in height with a footprint of 75.3 square metres (810.5 square feet). The single detached dwelling would include an attached deck with a footprint of 57 square metres (613.5 square feet). The dwelling would be setback a minimum of 25 metres (82 feet) from the highwater mark and the deck would be setback a minimum of 21.5 metres (70 feet) from the highwater mark of Verona Lake. The dwelling and deck would result in 10.9% lot coverage for the principal building. The proposed detached garage would be 45 square metres (484 square feet) in area and would be setback 27 metres (88.9 feet) from the highwater mark. The detached garage would be located east of the dwelling, a minimum of 2 metres (6.5 feet) from the dwelling. The garage would result in a 3.7% lot coverage for accessory buildings. The proposed location of the dwelling, attached deck and the detached garage is on a plateau located beyond the top of a steep cliff leading down towards the lake. The proposed development would be located approximately 2.5 metres (8 feet) from the hydro lines. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Minor Variance Application MV-48-20-P, Kulchitskaya, ROLL #: 102908009005610, Verona Lake, Portland District
The sewage system location was identified on the sketch to be located directly under the hydro line between the dwelling and the lane. No information was provided regarding the type of sewage system proposed. This application was deferred at the February 11, 2021 Committee of Adjustment meeting to provide additional time for the applicant to consult with a sewage system installer to identify an appropriate sewage for the proposed development, to consult with Hydro One to address the required setback from hydro lines to the proposed development, to confirm setbacks from the top of bank and the highwater mark, and to consider an alternative design and size for the proposal that would reduce the lot coverage of the principal building. Actions taken by Applicant / Agent Based on feedback received from Committee of Adjustment members at the February 2021 meeting, as well as Quinte Conservation, the agent submitted a revised application which includes a dwelling with no deck and a detached garage. By removing the deck, the revised lot coverage will be 6%. No changes were made the proposed size and location of the dwelling or garage. The revised proposal took into account a sewage system design, hydro line locations, and the slope. The applicants consulted with a sewage system installer and have applied for an Eljin sewage system to be located on the subject property between the dwelling and the lane in order to adequately service the proposed development. The applicants also contacted Hydro One and are re-aligning the overhead utility wires from the existing east-west direction to a north-south direction along the western property line in order to meet required setbacks from hydro lines. In consultation with Quinte Conservation, the applicants undertook a geotechnical study to assess erosion hazards and slope stability on the property. The slope was identified as marble bedrock and is resistant to erosion and stable at vertical slopes within the context of 100 year floodplain. The geotechnical study concluded that the stability of the slope on the subject property is sufficient to support a reduction to the 15 metre setback from the top of bank to 9.8 metres for the principal dwelling. Revised Application The revised minor variance application requests permission for reduced setbacks from the highwater mark and top of bank, a reduced separation distance between buildings, as well as an increase in the maximum lot coverage for a principal building. The variances would facilitate the construction of a single detached dwelling, a detached garage and a new sewage system on the subject property. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Minor Variance Application MV-48-20-P, Kulchitskaya, ROLL #: 102908009005610, Verona Lake, Portland District
The proposed dwelling will be 75.3 square metres (810.5 square feet) in area, setback a minimum of 25 metres (82 feet) from the highwater mark of Verona Lake and 9.8 metres (32 feet) from the top of bank. The dwelling will be two storey, in compliance with the height allowed for a dwelling in the Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) Zone. The dwelling will comply with setbacks from the side yard, rear yard, private lane and hydro lines. The dwelling would result in 6% lot coverage for the principal building. The distance between the dwelling and the garage will be 2 metres (6.5 feet). The garage will be located to the east of the dwelling. The proposed detached garage will be 45 square metres (484 square feet) in area, setback 28 metres (91 feet) from the highwater mark and 6.7 metres (21 feet) from the top of bank. The garage will be in compliance with the building height, interior side yard and rear yards required in the RLSW Zone, as well as the general provision for lot coverage for accessory structures. The proposed sewage system will be located beyond the 30 metre (98.4 feet) setback from Verona Lake and will be 3 metres (9.8 feet) from the rear property line. The existing shed on the subject property is proposed to be removed. The stairs are proposed to remain to provide safe access to the lake. Department and Agency Comments Public Services This application did not meet the criteria for circulation. Building Services Comments received from Building Services on January 21, 2021, regarding a Sewage System Review, indicated that no test pits had been dug and there had been no consultation with a sewage system installer regarding the proposed location of the sewage system for the residence. Comments received from Building Services on October 29, 2021 indicate that they have no objections to the revised application, the report by Concord Engineering, specifically the drawing titled “Preliminary Onsite Sewage System Viability” dated September 15, 2021 provides adequate information to support a sewage system. It was noted that a building permit is required for the proposed sewage system.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Minor Variance Application MV-48-20-P, Kulchitskaya, ROLL #: 102908009005610, Verona Lake, Portland District
Building Services also provided comments on the minimum distance between the dwelling and the garage. It was explained that the minimum distance separation between buildings for the Ontario Building Code is required to be 1.2 meters (4 feet) and therefore there are no concerns from a Building Code perspective. It was noted that an engineer design will be required should underpinning occur between the proposed dwelling and garage. Quinte Conservation In an e-mail dated January 27, 2021, Quinte Conservation Staff noted that the subject lands lie within the O. Reg. 319/09 regulated area of Verona Lake. They will enforce a 15 metre development setback from the 1:100 year floodplain of Verona Lake, located at the toe of the slope, and a minimum setback of 15 metres from the top of bank, located near the stair landing at the crest of the slope. Quinte Conservation requires these setbacks to implement O. Reg. 319/09. Quinte Conservation noted that should a reduction in the 15 metre setback from the top of bank be requested, a slope stability study must confirm the stability of the slope. Comments received from Quinte Conservation on June 29, 2021 note that Quinte Conservation has received the Slope and Erosion Assessment prepared by Concord Engineering (dated March 30, 2021). Quinte Conservation staff support the reduction in the setback from the top of bank and are satisfied that the application as presented is consistent with section 3.1 of the PPS as development will be located outside of any natural or flood-related hazard. As such, Quinte Conservation has no objection to the revised application. It was noted that a permit under O. Reg 319/09 will be required for the proposed development as it is located within a regulated area. The applicant must contact Quinte Conservation at the building permit stage. Public Comments In February 2021, comments were received from two members of the public regarding the original application. They expressed concerns regarding the size of the development, loss of privacy, views, height, shadowing, noise and the variance not being minor. Due to the time between the original and revised applications, Township Staff re-circulated the application to all property owners within 60 metres of the subject property, including the members of the public who submitted comments in February 2021. To date, no comments have been received.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Minor Variance Application MV-48-20-P, Kulchitskaya, ROLL #: 102908009005610, Verona Lake, Portland District
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/does not meet the four tests as explained below. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The proposed variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan, specifically the policies on limited service residential development, and development within environmentally sensitive areas adjacent to a lake. The proposed development is consistent with the permitted residential use of the property, is not expected to be subject to an erosion hazard, and maximizes setbacks from Verona Lake. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law as the proposed dwelling is a permitted use on the subject property. The subject property is an undersized lot of record, approximately 48 metres (157 metres deep). The proposed dwelling is located as far back from the highwater mark as possible while taking into account the site constraints, being the sewage system location and the existing depth of the subject property. It is not possible to push the development farther from the highwater mark as pushing it further would not allow a sewage system to be located on the property. The only location for the proposed sewage system is between the dwelling and the lane, as far back from the highwater mark as possible. The dwelling is therefore constrained by the location of the sewage system. The top of bank setback is supported by the geotechnical report which indicated that the exposed bedrock is stable and that the plateau is a suitable location for the proposed development. The application was revised for lot coverage for the principal building from 10.9% to 6% by removing the deck. The proposed 6% lot coverage for the dwelling is considered minor for this lot of record. The total lot coverage for the property would be under 10% for the principal building and accessory structure. The proposed detached garage is located as far back from the highwater mark as possible while maintaining area for the minimum two parking spaces required for a dwelling, as well as the location of a driveway. The geotechnical report indicated that the proposed detached garage is located outside the erosion hazard. The proposed detached garage is located next to the principal dwelling and does not project closer to the lane than the proposed dwelling. The decrease in distance between the buildings is reasonable for the proposed development as it complies with the Ontario Building Code. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Minor Variance Application MV-48-20-P, Kulchitskaya, ROLL #: 102908009005610, Verona Lake, Portland District
Is the requested variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure in question? The variances are desirable for the appropriate development of the subject property, as it would facilitate development of the property with a modest-sized dwelling in a location that is practical given the physical constraints. The applicant has proposed to re-align the hydro line in order to allow for development to occur on the property. The proposed location of the dwelling and garage are practical on the subject property maximizing the setbacks from the lake and top of bank, and allowing sufficient area for a sewage system. The dwelling and garage would be accessed from the existing driveway. Locating the garage and the dwelling closer together allows for the interior side yard setbacks to be met and provides more separation between the development and neighbouring properties. There are trees located between the dwelling location and the lake that screen views from the water. Is the variance minor? Yes, the variances are minor as they maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and are desirable for the appropriate development of the land.
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 February 11, 2021 and November 11, 2021 Public Hearing. This included notice given:
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by posting on the Township’s Current Planning Application webpage by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies (e.g. Conservation Authority, County Clerk, School Boards, Ontario Power Generation Inc. and Hydro One Inc.)
Building Services were consulted in developing the report.

I would also like to add that I do not consider this Minor Variance to be a ‘Minor’ one. There are many variances requested within this one Minor Variance, i.e. distance from the highwater line, distance re garage, and the fact that less than
Also, one of the most important adverse effects to their property is the fact that their privacy will be totally lost. This is not in accordance with Article 3.0 of the Official Plan dated March, 2003 which states, “Adverse effects as defined in the Environmental Protection Act, means one or more of ‘loss of enjoyment of normal use of property”’. With a tall house directly abutting the cottage, with residents there peering down at the cottage, all privacy at the cottage is gone. This is definitely a serious concern which should be considered when approving the above Minor Variance.
Those items included loss of view, height concerns of the proposed building, shadowing, noise, driveway compromise, parking, and most of all, complete devaluation of their property.
Please refer to Jo—Annand Frank K|ieber’s letter dated January 28, 2021, as I agree with all the items listed regarding the adverse effects to their property at 1033 Silver Rock Lane, if this Minor Variance is approved.

Respectfully,
Thanking you, I remain,

The most devastating effect if this Minor Variance is approved, is the fact as stated above, that it completely DEVALUATESthe value of the abutting cottage property. This is a very serious matter and should definitely be considered. As myself and my family have paid taxes for over forty years for the cottage, I think the approval of this Minor Variance would be totally and ethically in conflict with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By—Law,dated

As far as the VIEW is concerned, there would be no view as the view from the existing living-roorn,
Any outside activities, such as gardening, sunbathing, etc. would be totally exposed to those living in the proposed structure.
There would also be a de?nite loss of PRIVACY. The inhabitants of the proposed structure would be in a 2. location which would allow them to look down at all times at our lower-level cottage and the activities of the people there. They would be able to constantly monitor everything going on at the cottage…totally unacceptable. This would result in visual intrusion, as the living-room, bedroom and kitchen windows are on the same side as the proposed structure, with their large deck facing us. From what we understand from the drawings, the deck alone would be 608 sq. Ft. (that’s almost another cottage in itself).
We personally do NOT believe this variance is a MINOR one. It is more than 100% increase in size for 1. the garage and house. It is not just an addition of a deck or change in a driveway, which would be considered MINOR. This application is for a high two-storey structure to be built on an elevated property of at least 10-12 ft., as well as a large, oversized wrap-around deck.. The end result would be a home and a garage towering over our small cottage, which would de?nitely obscure the sunlight, causing the cottage to be in a shadow many of the daylight hours. This loss of sunlight would definitely affect the quality of life at our cottage.. One would barely be able to see the sky past these huge structures.
We would appreciate your consideration regarding the negative effects to our property:
As we are the present owners of 1033 Morning Glory Lane, and this property has been in our family since 1978, we feel the above Application would have a very detrimental effect on our cottage property.

Thanks very much for consideration regarding our concerns.
Also, the approval of this Minor Variance would set a very poor precedent for the other cottagers and home owners in our neighbourhood, and will DEFINITELY lower the value as well as the enjoyment of our family-heritage cottage.
’
In closing, we would like to state that the variance is NOT minor, and the proposed Minor Variance is not 7. appropriate for this parcel of land as it is not the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaws. Approvalof this Minor Variance Application would most de?nitely contravene the intent and purpose for which these Zoning By-laws and Official Plan were created.
It would be very unfair to us and also our son if this Committee of Adjustment were to allow such contravention of the existing by-laws and Official Plan.
'
We were considering buying our son’s lot, but after speaking with Lindsey Mills at the Township Of?ce, and his determined argument that we could only add on a 10’ x 20’ addition to our existing cottage, we decided it wasn’t worth purchasing the lot, and would only be able to add a small addition.
Our son purchased the Lot property from my mother, but he was told by Lindsay Mills that he could ONLY build a 600 sq. ft. home on it…de?nitely no garage or accessory buildings. It would have to be 100 ft. back from the high-water mark. This discouraged him from building so he put it up for sale. It was on the market for over two years and because of the said above limitations on the Lot, he had to reduce the Selling Price of the property, thus taking a huge loss.
Regarding the ten square metre accessory structure, which they propose to be demolished, there never has 5. been a ten square metre building there on the Lot, so that should not be considered as a garage replacement.
The above long-established amenities regarding openness and View since 1978 would be adversely affected by approval of this Minor Variance.

- NOISE There will be deafening noise during construction and during later visitations and gatherings, adversely affecting the quiet enjoyment of us using the cottage.

It was mentioned in the Staff Report under Public Comments that there was no reply as of yet, from the people who submitted comments in February 2021. We only received the letter dated November 1, 2021 Public Meeting letter on November 4 pm
Another issue we’re concerned with, is the fact that section 6.17 of the Official Plan states “only consideration will be given if it is physically not possible or environmentally desirable to meet the requirement ifthe 30m setback from water. They can meet the 30 meter setback by building a smaller house, so they shouldn’t be given a reduction in the setback from the water.
The impact on us is the Garage, which will be at the top of the hill, as well as the 10 meter (33 feet) height of the house, towering over our small cottage and our kitchen, living room and bedroom windows are on the west side of our cottage, so they’|| be able to look down into our cottage anytime, thus, zero privacy! Also, what we’|l see when we look out our windows on the west side or when we’re trying to relax on our deck, we’l| be seeing a garage at the top of the hill, instead of the nice blue sky and landscape and a 33 foot tall house sitting on top of the hill. This will completely take away our privacy and the whole reason for having a cottage. Our cottage has been in our family over 42 years and knowing that we won’t be able to go there and just sit and look at the view without feeling watched, defeats the whole purpose of a cottage. Of utmost importance to us obviously, is that it will greatly devalue our property, should this Minor Variance be approved. ljust want to reiterate the Lack of Privacy and that it will DEVALUE our property when we’ve owned out there, longer then any of the other homeowners and cottagers nearby.
As we had previously stated on our January 28, 2021 letter, we still feel that approving this Minor Variance will have an adverse effect to our property as previously written and mentioned at the last Public Meeting.

Thank you, Jo-Ann & Frank Klieber
In closing, Frank and I just want to again mention our serious concern of our Cottage and that it will be greatly devalued should this Minor Variance go through and also our privacy and our view.
Under_Disscussion/Analysis and the 3_0msetback, it shouldn’t be because it’s there to protect shoreline, lake and be a buffer. They could accomodate a structure/dwelling on this property that doesn’t require a reduction to the 30 meter setback.
Report,
Would you please explain to us, the Outside Dimension of Building Structure/Dwelling is 38.1m= 410 sq ft and the Garage shows 26.8 which =288.47 sq ft, so could you clarify this to us please because on the Plot Plan, the house is 810.52 sq ft/75.359 meters
Could you tell us what is the proper sq meter size of the Lot because on the Minor Variance Application it is 1210 sqm , but on the Building Permit Application Plot Plan, the Lot Area is 1241.8 sqm. So they’re going by the 1241.8 sqm, which at 6%: 801.99 sq ft dwelling or at 5%=668.31sq ft. At 1210sqm at 6%=781 sq ft, at 5%=651 sq ft, So there’s a difference in lot coverage depending on which size it actually is so please confirm.

A Guide to Completing the Minor Variance Form
- The names of all owners must appear in this section, even if they live in separate residences, and the address(es) should be the full mailing address, complete with postal code.
- You may wish to appoint someone to act on your behalf during the variance process. If so, that person’s name, address and phone number should appear here All owner’s must sign the authorization.
- Description of the Subject Land: a. District: The Districts are the same as the former Townships. If you are not sure, check the roll number (the long number beginning with 1029) on your tax bill. If the numbers are 010, 020 or 030, your district is Bedford; if the numbers are 040-050, your district is Loughborough; if the numbers are 060 or 070, your district is Storrington; and if the numbers are 080, your district is Portland. 10 Page 130 of 200
TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC APPLICATION FOR MINOR VARIANCE Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 as amended
b. Concession and Lot Numbers: if you are not sure, check your tax bill c. Street Number: Your civic address – if a civic number has not been assigned, leave this space blank. d. Name of Road/Street: This question applies whether or not you are on a private lane or a public road. e. Reference Plan No: If your property has been surveyed, it will have a plan number, and one or more parts on that plan. If your property has not been surveyed, leave this space blank. f. Roll No: This is the number beginning with ‘1029’ which appears on your tax bill. Please take time to look it up before submitting the application. 4) Frontage, depth, area, acres: All parts of this question must be completed. 5) Current zoning: You may not be aware of the zoning on your property and this can be determined when you come in for pre-consultation with planning staff. 6) Nature and Extent of Relief: This question is asking what you are asking to do that requires the variance – for example, it could be that you are asking to be 25 m rather than 30 m from the high water mark, or that you are asking to increase the height of a structure within 30 m of the high water mark, or that you are seeking a variance to construct an accessory building closer to the front lot line than the principal building. 7) Reason why you can’t comply: In other words, why can you not meet the required setbacks. It could be, for example, because you are seeking a variance to add on to an existing structure that is already too close to the water, or that developing further from the water would be impossible because of a steep embankment. 8) Roads: Municipally maintained roads are looked after by the Township; private roads are lanes that residents maintain themselves (not private driveways, but lanes that provide access to your property and that are generally shared with others). 9) Parking and Docking: This question is only relevant is you can only access your property by water. 10) Existing Uses: e.g. residential, retail business, vacant recreational land 11) Buildings: If there are ANY buildings or structures on the property now, the answer to this question is “yes”. 12) Description of buildings and structures: You must complete all sections of this question for each structure on your property. If there is a deck on your dwelling, please describe it separately from the residence.
11 Page 131 of 200
TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC APPLICATION FOR MINOR VARIANCE Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 as amended
- Proposed Uses: Generally, the answer to this question will be the same as the answer to #10, but if, for example, the land is currently vacant, and you are planning to construct a dwelling, then the use to be described in section 10 would be “vacant recreational land”, and the use described in section 13 would be “residential”
- Proposed structures: If you are planning to build ANYTHING on the property, the answer to this question is “yes” – This includes additions, decks, garages, septic systems.
- Description of new construction: ALL proposed new development must be described here. If you are proposing to construct an addition to a dwelling, and to add a deck, please show this information in separate columns.
- Demolition: All demolition requires a permit from the building department. In some instances, a proposed addition or increase in height cannot be accomplished without the removal of existing walls. If this is not made clear to the Committee at the beginning of the process, you may find that, although you are granted permission to add on to your residence, you can’t actually do it because you have not made it clear that there is demolition involved.
- Raising of Structure: In other words, are you proposing to raise the building in order to construct a basement under it.
- Uses of Development: Please answer each part of this question. An increase in living space would include anything with walls – e.g. a screened porch would involve an increase in living space.
- Date land acquired: When did you take possession of the property?
- Date of existing buildings: If you are not sure, provide your best estimate.
- Length of existing uses: For example, has the land been used for residential purposes for 30 years, or 18 months?
- Water supply: in most cases the answer will be private well, but some waterfront properties take their water from a lake.
- Septic: in most cases the answer will be private sewage system, but there may be some privies.
- Drainage: Are there specific ditches that have been constructed to deal with drainage; is there natural drainage, etc.?
- Application for consent: Is there currently an application for consent (severance) being proposed for the property? 12 Page 132 of 200
TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC APPLICATION FOR MINOR VARIANCE Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 as amended
- If yes: If there is a current application for severance or subdivision on the property, please indicate the file number. (Staff can help provide this information)
- Minor variance: Has there ever been a minor variance granted on the property? If you are longtime owner of the property, you will probably be aware of any other special permission granted for a variance to the zoning by-law. If you are a new owner, the seller will probably have made you aware of this.
- If yes: If there has been a previous variance granted on the property, please indicate the application number if known, and what the details of the variance were.
- SKETCH: We cannot stress enough the importance of a detailed, accurate, and complete sketch. You do not necessarily need to contract with a professional to draw the sketch, but sketches that are not drawn to scale, do not show dimensions and distances, or are not drawn neatly (PLEASE USE A RULER), will not be accepted.
- Agreement to Indemnify: Must be signed in front of a commissioner of oaths – you may have this done before submitting the application, or sign the application in front of staff who can sign as commissioners. All owners must sign the application, or it can be signed by an agent if one has been appointed.

Application for Minor Variance MV-43-21-S (Acworth-New) Lots 3, 4, Concession 15; 7100 Billy Green Road Storrington District, Township of South Frontenac Waterbody: Buck Lake
Cataraqui Conservation staff have reviewed the above-noted application for minor variance and provide the following comments for the Committee of Adjustment’s consideration. Summary of Proposal The proposal involves the construction of a second storey addition and enclosing a porch within 30 metres of the lake. More specifically, the variance is requested to: • Reduce the required setback from the highwater mark from 30 metres, as required by Section 5.8.2.a) of the South Frontenac Zoning By-law, to 7.31 metres in order to permit the construction of a second storey addition and a porch. Site Description The property is located on the east side of the south branch of Buck Lake on the west side of Billy Green Road. The topography of the site can be characterized as having a low bank (approximately 3 metres high) adjacent to the lake, then levelling out somewhat in the location of an existing dwelling. The property is currently designated ‘Rural’ in the Official Plan and ‘Limited Service Residential – Waterfront Zone’ (RLSW) in the implementing Zoning By-law for South Frontenac Township. Buck Lake has been designated as a highly sensitive Lake Trout Lake in the Official Plan for South Frontenac Township.

Discussion The main interests of Cataraqui Conservation in this proposal is the protection of the water quality of Buck Lake and the avoidance of natural hazards (e.g. flooding and erosion) associated with the shoreline. Natural Hazards Flooding: Cataraqui Conservation does not have floodplain mapping for Buck Lake. The maximum recorded water level for Buck Lake is 133.16 metres geodetic. For Buck Lake, the maximum recorded water level is used in lieu of an engineered flood plain. Cataraqui Conservation’s Guidelines for Implementing Ontario Regulation 148/06 (see description below) requires that all development be set back a minimum of 6 metres from the regulatory floodplain of a waterbody. Based upon elevation mapping data, the proposed second storey addition will be located approximately 6 metres from the regulatory flood plain. The proposed porch enclosure is further away from the flood plain. Therefore, staff have no concerns with the proposal from a flood hazard perspective. Erosion: Cataraqui Conservation defines the extent of potential erosion hazards to include an allowance for toe erosion, a stable slope allowance for bedrock of 1 (vertical):1 (horizontal), plus an erosion access allowance of 6 metres, or 6 metres from the stable top of valley. Staff note that the proposed development is within the 6 metre access allowance but will not aggravate access further as there is an existing structure already there and the proposal is to add a second storey. The porch enclosure is further away from the erosion hazard. Staff have no concerns with the proposal from an erosion hazard perspective. Water Quality Section 2.2 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) suggests that planning authorities should seek to protect, improve or restore the quality and quantity of water. Accordingly, the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for the Township of South Frontenac provide guidance with respect to how development should occur in consideration of protecting, improving and restoring water quality within the municipality. Similarly, Cataraqui Conservation’s Environmental Planning Policy (EPP, 2021) contains provisions that seek to support these objectives.

Also, as noted above, Buck Lake is identified as a highly sensitive Lake Trout Lake, and as such, the waterbody is afforded additional protection to ensure development does not negatively impact the water quality of the lake. Section 5.2.8 of the Official Plan suggests all development or site alterations proposed within 30 metres of the highwater mark of a designated Lake Trout Lake requires the submission of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and that a Lake Impact Assessment may also be required. However, in the opinion of staff, development within the water setback may be considered when there are no reasonable alternatives for locating the development outside of the water setback area, the development is no closer to the water than existing buildings or structures on the property the development complies with the maximum lot coverage provisions of the Zoning By-law, and suitable methods to minimize negative impacts on water quality are incorporated into the development. The proposed development is located in a reasonable location since the proposal involves a second storey addition onto an existing dwelling and a small porch that is as far away as possible from the water on two sides, the development complies with the maximum lot coverage provisions in the Zoning By-law, and the development will be no closer to the water than existing development. Therefore, staff do not believe that an EIA is required in this instance. If approved, staff recommend that roof runoff be directed away from the lake, and that the area between the development and the lake be maintained as a vegetated buffer to the satisfaction of the Township. Recommendation Staff have no objection to the approval of application MV-43-21-S based on our consideration for natural hazard, natural heritage and water quality policies. Ontario Regulation 148/06 Cataraqui Conservation, under Ontario Regulation 148/06: Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses, regulates development (construction, filling, and site alteration) within 15 metres of a flood plain or top of bank. Staff note that the proposed development is within 15 metres of the regulatory flood plain and the top of bank. Therefore, a permit will be required for the proposed development under said regulation. The applicant will be required to contact the undersigned at the building permit stage for more information regarding permitting requirements under Ontario Regulation 148/06.

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: November 11, 2021 Subject:
Permission Application MV-43-21-S, Acworth-New, 7100 Billy Green Road, Perth Road, District of Storrington
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application for permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming building, per section 45(2) of Planning Act, subject to conditions.
Background Relief Requested The application seeks permission to enlarge a single detached dwelling under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act, by increasing its height and gross floor area, within the required setback from the highwater mark.
Discussion/Analysis Property Description The subject property is 8.5 acres (3.4 hectares), and is located on the west side of Billy Green Road. It has frontage on Buck Lake which is an at-capacity (highly sensitive) lake trout lake. The subject property is generally flat and is predominantly forested. There is an indentation of the shoreline on the south portion of the property creating a small peninsula. The existing dwelling, boat house and sheds are located on the peninsula. The shoreline consists of an approximately 3 metre high bank. The topography rises towards the centre of the property. The existing dwelling is located on a small peninsula about halfway on the property. The dwelling is located 7.31 metres (24 feet) from the highwater mark of Buck Lake. The total footprint of the existing dwelling is approximately 131.2 square metres (1412.2 square feet). The dwelling consists of three sections, which have varying heights. The north and south sections are two storeys and the middle section is one storey. The maximum height is 8 metres (27 feet).

A sewage system was installed on the property in 2020/2021. It is located to the north of the principal dwelling, more than 30 metres from the highwater mark. Summary of Proposal The proposal is to increase the height of the dwelling by 0.9 metres (3 feet) to a maximum height of 9.2 metres (30 feet) and to increase the gross floor area by 42.5 square metres (458 square feet) by adding a second storey to the middle section to the existing cottage. The proposal is also to replace an existing front porch with an addition (foyer), 15 metres (49 feet) from the highwater mark. The existing front porch is approximately 2.1 metres long by 2.4 metres deep (7 feet long by 8 feet deep). The foyer addition would be 4.9 metres long by 1.8 metres deep (16 feet 10 inches long by 7 feet deep). The gross floor area of the dwelling would increase to 195 square metres (2098 square feet). These proposals are being applied for in order to repair, renovate and strengthen the dwelling to a safe condition and to meet the current building code standards. Department and Agency Comments Public Services – This application did not meet the criteria for circulation. Building Services (Sewage System Review) – Comments received from Building Services on October 19, 2021 indicate that they have no objection to the approval of the application. It was noted that the sewage system was designed to accommodate the proposal in accordance with the submitted drawings for MV-43-21-S. Cataraqui Conservation – Comments received on Cataraqui Conservation on October 22, 2021 indicate that Staff have no objection to the approval of the application. It was noted that the proposed second storey addition will be located approximately 6 metres from the regulatory flood plain and the proposed porch enclosure (foyer addition) is further away from the flood plain. They also noted that the proposed development is within the 6 metre erosion access allowance but it will not aggravate access further as the existing structure is already there and the proposal is to add a second storey. They noted that the porch enclosure is further away from the erosion hazard. Furthermore, they recommend that the roof runoff be directed away from the lake and that the area between the development and the lake be maintained as a vegetated buffer. It was noted that a permit under O. Reg 148/06 will be required for the proposed development as it is located within a regulated area. The applicant must contact Cataraqui Conservation at the building permit stage. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time of the writing of this report. Planning Analysis Section 5.10.2 of Zoning By-law 2003-75 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. The proposal associated with this application would result in an increase in building height to the dwelling that is within 30 metres of the highwater mark and would result in an increase in gross floor area. The increased building height would comply with the RLSW zone provision. The setback from the highwater mark is not changing. The applicant is requesting permission to enlarge the dwelling, which is a legal nonconforming building that was constructed prior to the passing of Zoning By-law No. 200375. In this situation, the Committee of Adjustment should consider whether to grant permission to enlarge the legal non-conforming building, by increasing its height and gross floor area, under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act. The increase in the height of the dwelling is proposed to permit a second storey to the middle section of the building in order to replace the existing spiral staircase with a staircase that meets Ontario Building Code requirements, and to add an additional bathroom. The increase in building height will not affect surrounding properties as the development is located on a peninsula and there is a large open space located between the dwelling and the closest neighbouring property to the south. There are trees along the shoreline that will conceal the increase in height from the waterfront. Raising the dwelling on the existing footprint will result in the least disturbance to the natural features on the subject property. The existing setback to the highwater mark will be maintained for the middle section of the dwelling. The proposed foyer addition is considered appropriate for the continued use of the property. Re-aligning and expanding the front porch will provide accessible safe access into the dwelling. Furthermore, keeping the depth of the front porch and expanding only the width, will maintain the existing setback to the highwater mark. In addition, the foyer addition would continue to be farther from the highwater mark of the southeast corner of the dwelling, which is 14.7 metres from the highwater mark. Requiring a development agreement on the property will ensure that the development is undertaken in accordance with the Township environmental standards, and will implement www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Reason why you can’t comply: In other words, why can you not meet the required setbacks. it could be, for example, because you are seeking a variance to add on to an existing structure that is already too close to the water, or that developing further from the water would be impossible because of a steep embankment.
—-
Nature and Extent of Relief: This question is asking what you are asking to do that requires the variance for example, it could be that you are asking to be 25 m rather than 30 m from the high water mark, or that you are asking to increase the height of a structure within 30 m of the high water mark, or that you are seeking a variance to construct an accessory building closer to the front lot line than the principal building.
Current zoning: You may not be aware of the zoning on your property and this can be determined when you come in.for pre—consu|tation with planning staff.
Frontage, depth, area, acres: All parts of this question must be completed.

18)Uses of Development: Please answer each part of this question. An increase in living space would include anything with walls e.g. a screened porch would involve an increase in living
Raising of Structure: In other words, are you proposing to raise the building in order to construct a basement under it.
Demolition: All demolition requires a permit from the building department. In some instances, a proposed addition or increase in height cannot be accomplished without the removal of existing walls. If this is not made clear to the Committee at the beginning of the process, you may ?nd that, although you are granted permission to add on to your residence, you can’t actually do it because you have not made it clear that there is demolition involved.
Description of new construction: ALL proposed new development must be described here. If you are proposing to construct an addition to a dwelling, and to add a deck, please show this information in separate columns.

Proposed structures: If you are planning to build ANYTHINGon the property, the answer to this question is “yes” This includes additions, decks, garages, septic systems.
Proposed Uses: Generally, the answer to this question will be the same as the answer to #10, but if, for example, the land is currently vacant, and you are planning to construct a dwelling, then the use to be described in section 10 would be “vacant recreational land”, and the use described in section 13 would be “residential”
Description of buildings and structures: You must complete all sections of this question for each structure on your property. If there is a deck on your dwelling, please describe it separately from the residence.
Buildings: If there are ANY buildings or structures on the property now, the answer to this question is “yes”.
Existing Uses: e.g. residential, retail business, vacant recreational land

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: November 11, 2021 Subject:
Minor Variance Application MV-44-21-L, Barrett/Norris, PIN: 36280-0309, Cronk Lake, Loughborough District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application for zoning relief for an accessory structure in the front yard, subject to conditions, as this application meets the four tests of a minor variance outlined in section 45(1) of Planning Act.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: RLSW Zoning Relief Requested Section 5.24.2: Accessory Structures – To permit an accessory building in the projected front yard of the main building, whereas the Zoning By-law requires an accessory building to be erected to the rear of the projected front or exterior side wall of the main building.
Discussion/Analysis Property Description The subject property is located on the south side of Senior Lane, which is located off Gordon Lane, off Bedford Road. The subject property also has waterfront on Cronk Lake. The subject property is shaped like an “L” that has been rotated 90 degrees to the east. Senior Lane runs along a portion of the north side of the property. The property’s waterfront on Cronk Lake is located along the long part of the “L”. There is a wetland on the west side of the property. The subject property can be described as rising from the shoreline towards higher elevation near the rear of the property. The subject property contains an existing accessory structure, hereon forward referred to as a cabin. The approximately 11.7 square metre (125 square foot), one storey accessory www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Minor Variance Application MV-44-21-L, Barrett/Norris, PIN: 36280-0309, Cronk Lake, Loughborough District
structure “cabin” is setback 15 metres from the highwater mark of Cronk Lake. The cabin was constructed without zoning relief and without a building permit. Township Staff, Building Staff and Planning Staff, spoke with the Owner prior to the submission of a minor variance application and indicated that the cabin is not a permitted use on the property as it is less than the minimum gross floor area required in the RLSW zone, and it does not comply with all applicable setbacks. Township Staff outlined options including removing the cabin entirely, moving the cabin to a compliant location, or requesting a minor variance to maintain the cabin in the existing location. The cabin was also constructed without a permit from Cataraqui Conservation under O. Reg. 148/06. Cataraqui Conservation issued several notices to the property owner requesting removal of the structure. From conversations with the applicant, it is the understanding of Township Staff that this cabin will be removed entirely from the subject property. Summary of Proposal The applicant is proposing to construct a seasonal dwelling on the subject property. The seasonal dwelling will be located on the west end of the subject property. The seasonal dwelling would be 61 square metres (660 square feet) and located in compliance with all required setbacks for a principal building in the RLSW zone as outlined in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The applicant has submitted a building permit for the seasonal dwelling. The application for minor variance is to permit an accessory building within the projected front yard of the proposed seasonal dwelling on the subject property. The proposed accessory structure (storage building) will be 2.6 metres by 5.5 metres (8.6 feet by 18 feet), or approximately 14.4 square metres (155 square feet) in area. It will be single storey in compliance with the height for an accessory structure in the RLSW zone. It will be located 34 metres (112 feet) from the highwater mark of Cronk Lake. Due to the “L” shape of the subject property, it will be located in the front yard of the seasonal dwelling. The applicant is also proposing to construct a privy. The privy will be located outside the 30 metres (98.4 feet) setback from the highwater mark and will also be located in the front yard. Department and Agency Comments Public Services – This application did not meet the criteria for circulation. Building Services (Sewage System Review) – This application did not meet the criteria for circulation. Building Staff have spoken to the applicant prior to the submission of the minor variance application regarding the existing “cabin” on the property. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Minor Variance Application MV-44-21-L, Barrett/Norris, PIN: 36280-0309, Cronk Lake, Loughborough District
Cataraqui Conservation – Comments received from Cataraqui Conservation on October 22, 2021 indicate that Staff have no objection to the approval of the application. It notes that all proposed structures are located outside of the 30 metre water setback and therefore have no concerns from a flooding, water quality or erosion hazard perspective. Cataraqui Staff also note that this property is the subject of an ongoing enforcement investigation as the existing structure was constructed within 30 metres of the waterbody without a permit under O Reg. 148/06. Staff are seeking removal of the structure “cabin” under that regulation. Furthermore, it was noted that a permit under O. Reg 148/06 is required for any development on the subject property within a regulated area. The applicant must contact Cataraqui Conservation at the building permit stage. Township Staff - There is an unopened road allowance located to the rear of the subject property. In order to get to the proposed location of the structures, one needs to cross over a wetland with a very narrow walking path, cross over the un-opened road allowance or access the location for the proposed accessory structure via the water. It is the understanding of Township Staff that materials for construction are already on the property and transportation will be minimal. Materials from the existing cabin on the property will be re-purposed to construct the proposed accessory structure. The property does have legal deeded access via Senior Lane and the applicant has applied for a building permit to construct their seasonal dwelling. It is noted that the un-opened road allowance is not to be used for vehicle access and can’t be used for temporary or permanent access to the buildings without a license agreement, and no structures are allowed to be placed on the un-opened road allowance. The applicant has indicated that they are aware the portion is landlocked and will be accessing the location by a narrow walking path and the water. The applicant also indicated that all extra materials that need to be brought in will be done via the lake once it is frozen as this is the easiest access method. Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time of the writing of this report.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Minor Variance Application MV-44-21-L, Barrett/Norris, PIN: 36280-0309, Cronk Lake, Loughborough District
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/does not meet the four tests as explained below. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan as the proposed structures will be an accessory use consistent with the permitted residential use of a property within the Rural designation. The accessory structure and the privy will be located outside of the 30 metre setback from the lake. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law as accessory structures are permitted uses on the subject property. The proposed structures do not exceed the maximum permitted height, nor lot coverage, and is not larger than the principal building. They are located a suitable distance from property lines, and would be setback more than 30 metres from the highwater mark. Is the requested variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure in question? The variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the subject property. The shoreline of the subject property is considered to be the front yard according to the Zoning By-law. The “L” shape of the property does not allow for easy access to the shoreline, as there is a wetland and only a narrow portion of land to cross over to the shoreline. Locating the structure in the front yard is practical, as it facilitates access to items needed to access the lake and allows the dwelling to be developed further from the water. It is understood from the applicant that materials for construction will be brought in from the lake when it is frozen. Is the variance minor? Yes, the variance is minor as it maintains the general intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is desirable for the appropriate development of the land.

Dear Ms. Hannah: Re:
Application for Minor Variance MV-44-21-L (Barrett / Norris) Lot 8, 9, Concession 9; 0 Senior Lane Loughborough District, Township of South Frontenac Waterbody: Cronk Lake
Cataraqui Conservation staff have reviewed a revised submission in support of the above-noted application for minor variance and provide the following comments for the Committee of Adjustment’s consideration. Summary of the Proposal The proposal involves the construction of an accessory structure and a privy on the subject property. The variance is requested to: • Permit a 14.2 square metre accessory structure to be located in the front yard. • Permit a 2.3 square metre privy to be located in the front yard. Staff note that the accessory structure and privy are now proposed to be located greater than 30 metres from the highwater mark as required by Section 5.8.2 of the Zoning Bylaw. Staff also note that this property is the subject of an ongoing enforcement investigation as the accessory structure was built within 30 metres of the waterbody without a Cataraqui Conservation permit under Ontario Regulation 148/06. Staff are seeking removal of the structure under said regulation. Site Description The property is located on south shore of Cronk Lake. The topography of the property can be described as rising gradually from the shoreline toward the south where the accessory structure and the privy will be located. Currently, the property contains the accessory structure.

Ms. Hannah (MV-44-21-L) October 22, 2021 The property is designated ‘Rural’ in the Official Plan and zoned ‘Limited Service Residential – Waterfront Zone’ (RLSW) in the implementing Zoning By-law. Cronk Lake itself is designated ‘Environmental Protection’ in the Zoning By-law. Discussion The main interests of Cataraqui Conservation with respect to this application are the avoidance of natural hazards (e.g. flooding and erosion) associated with the shoreline of Cronk Lake, and the protection of the water quality of the lake. Natural Hazards Flooding: Flood plain mapping is not available for Cronk Lake. Section 5.8.1 of the Zoning By-law states that: “no building or structure shall be located within the flood plain of a watercourse or waterbody.” Section 5.8.2(1) of the Zoning By-law specifies that no building or structure or septic tank installation shall be located within a minimum 30 metres horizontal of the highwater mark of a waterbody or watercourse. Similarly, Cataraqui Conservation’s Environmental Planning Policy (EPP, 2021) also recommends a 30 metre setback for new development and site alteration from the high water mark of a waterbody provided that there is sufficient difference in elevation to ensure development will not be susceptible to flooding. The revised proposal places all structures outside of the 30 metre water setback. Therefore, staff have no concerns with the proposal from a flooding perspective. Erosion: Cataraqui Conservation defines the extent of potential erosion hazards to include an allowance for toe erosion, a stable slope allowance for bedrock shorelines of 1(h):1(v), plus an erosion access allowance of 6 metres. Staff are satisfied that the proposed development will be located outside of the erosion hazard allowance. Water Quality Section 2.2 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) suggests that planning authorities should seek to protect, improve or restore the quality and quantity of water. Accordingly, the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for the Township of South Frontenac provide guidance with respect to how development should occur in consideration of protecting, improving and restoring water quality within the municipality. Similarly, Cataraqui Conservation’s EPP contains provisions that seek to support these objectives. Section 5.2.7 b)(i) of the Official Plan for South Frontenac Township suggests that a 30 metre setback from the high water mark is required to be maintained as a buffer in order to protect water quality. Similarly, Cataraqui Conservation’s Environmental Planning Policy recommends that new development and site alteration, including septic system tile fields and open or enclosed decks/patios attached to the main dwelling, be set back a minimum distance of 30 metres from the highwater mark of a waterbody. However, Page 2 of 3 Page 173 of 200
Ms. Hannah (MV-44-21-L) October 22, 2021 new development within the water setback may be considered when there are no reasonable alternatives for locating the development outside of the water setback area, the development is no closer to the water than existing buildings or structures on the property the development complies with the maximum lot coverage provisions of the Zoning By-law, and suitable methods to minimize negative impacts on water quality are incorporated into the development. The revised proposal places all structures outside of the 30 metre water setback. Therefore, staff have no concerns from a water quality perspective. Recommendation Staff have no objection to the approval of application MV-44-21-L based on our consideration for natural heritage, natural hazards, and water quality protection polices. Ontario Regulation 148/06 Please note that a portion of the property is subject to Ontario Regulation 148/06: Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses, which is administered by Cataraqui Conservation. The purpose of the regulation is to ensure that proposed changes (e.g. development and site alteration) to a property are not affected by natural hazards, such as flooding and erosion, and that the changes do not put other properties at greater risk from these hazards. Within a regulated area, written permission must be obtained from Cataraqui Conservation prior to development taking place. Please inform this office of any decision made by the Committee with regard to this application. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at 613-546-4228 ext. 244, or by e-mail at aschmidt@crca.ca Yours truly,

Dear Development Services Committee Re: File No: MV-44-21-L Storage Shed on Front lawn of projected property I am writing to address the issue of Joe Barrett’s (applicant Braydon C. Norris’s) application for an accessory structure (a storage shed).
photo: without permits and permissions, this is the (insulated wired) small home built on Barrett property on the edge of the lake.
Dear Committee, I am an (across a narrow stretch of water) neighbour to this land for the proposed “accessory shed” on the Barrett Property. Currently there is an illegal small home built by the owner which was swiftly built in a 4 week period and now, is required to be removed.
Page 175 of 200
Now, applicant is requesting to build an accessory shed on the land. But no primary dwelling exists so a shed would not be an accessory. Nor is a shed this far from a primary dwelling necessary when the owner/applicant owns perfectly appropriate land and access meters away from the proposed future seasonal dwelling.
In 2011, when considering buying our little off grid cabin, i was assured by the municipal planner that in no way could anything ever be built on this land (associated with the proposed current variance). We were told that the municipal; road allowance, building set backs and the closeness of the lake would NOT allow dwellings to be built. These are the reasons i bought my cabin on the lake – because we were assured NOTHING could be built right in front of us… currently, we are faced with an illegally built white windowed, wired and insulated small home (which we understand will be taken down) and now, an appeal of sorts, an application for a variance to build an ‘accessory shed’ on the same land, almost in the same place, is presented. I DO NOT agree to this variance for a “shed”. I was assured that there would be no dwellings even allowed to be built on this stretch of land. I want to trust the word of the municipality when they were clear that by all rules of set backs and building codes NO DWELLING would be built on this land. Sadly, I do not believe it will be a shed.. “just for paddles and life jackets and a canoe” as indicated by the applicant to Anna Geladi in correspondence. We believe that it will become exactly as the current illegal small home is right now.. and it will be occupied and used as a hunting and sleeping cabin, wired with electrical, noisy and not abiding by current bylaws and rules. If this variance is granted, we expect that the “accessory shed” will then become much more than simply a shed and will soon be very much like the insulated sleeping house that was built and stands there illegally, already. We are concerned about this “accessory shed” becoming a sleeping/living/hunting dwelling when the dust settles from this application. There is little the municipality can do with respect to noise violations on an offgrid, off road, accessory “shed” on a property. If we thought that this was an honest and true application for a “shed”, it would be something to kindly consider but Joe Barrett/Norris have already ENTIRELY and
Page 176 of 200
BOLDLY broken laws and disregarded rules when they built an insulated four season tiny home on the edge of CRONK lake without permission and permit – and now because they were reported and required to remove it, are requesting a permit for an accessory shed for a house that doesn’t even yet exist – 750 meters away from a PROPOSED seasonal dwelling… We do NOT think that this application is honest nor true. The Barretts seemed do what they wanted, where they wanted it and disregarded municipal rules and permitting when it came to building the small house that is on this spot. The thought is that this application for an “accessory shed” is simply a way for the family to proceed with illegal activity and building. This application for a “shed” in the front lawn of a dwelling that has not even been built yet, seems like a way to continue with unlawful and disrespectful behaviour. Barrett owns properties DIRECTLY adjacent to the property in question – properties very close to the proposed future primary dwelling! and sheds and accessory buildings can be built very very close to the dwelling and need not be 750 Meters away from where the house will be. Paddles, boats and life jackets can be stored and the lake accessed in fewer than 100 meters! Mr. Barrett has shown little respect governance of our lands and lakes and i don’t expect that he nor his applicant will abide by future laws regarding this proposed “accessory shed”.
Page 177 of 200
FUTHER Concerns and considerations: The application for a variance for a shed in the front of a property is a deflection from the salient issues of this application.
- There is no primary building in front of which this “shed” would be placed; and while there is an application for a proposed primary dwelling, it will be important that that happen before ANY variances or permissions are granted;
- Applicant says the location of proposed “shed” is the only place a shed could go. This is not at all true;
- Joe Barrett owns two pristine water front properties adjacent and within 100 meters of the proposed dwelling and upon which a boat house/shed can easily be built, from which the lake easily accessed from a road HE owns!!! seconds from the proposed seasonal dwelling. Even if he is selling the lot to Norris, he could simply deed access to the lake on the road, seconds away.. there is NO need for an accessory shed almost a kilometer away;
- Proposed “shed” location is 750 Meters from a proposed future primary dwelling. The applicant does NOT need to erect a shed 750 meters away as there are MANY other locations for sheds on and beside his proposed dwelling. Mr. Barrett owns the very road that gives access to Cronk lake on the East side (senior Lane) and two other properties where canoes and paddles can be easily stored.
- After already building a costly four season, fully insulated and wired tiny home without any permits nor permissions, Applicant is proposing an shed in almost the exact location for what will be an accessory “shed” – an accessory to a home that doesn’t even exist;
- It seems reasonable to imagine that this “shed” is a loophole solution rather than respecting municipal/CRCA rules and regulations and that the proposed “shed” over time, will very likely shapeshift into ANOTHER insulated sleep house;
- Our experience of the guests, friends, family and children of the other Barrett properties are as loud, rule-breaking people who do not respect others on the lake: Generators run all night, beers cans float in the water in the morning and loud music is
Page 178 of 200
blared across the lake throughout the night for nights on end. We often wear earplugs at our cabin to be able to override the music and noise from their properties.
This family erected a fully insulated small home on the water’s edge without permits and permission and we expect that the “accessory shed” will not follow rules either – this puts our quiet and sanctuary of a small uninhabited end of the lake in serious jeopardy; 8. Applicant has not shown due diligence in abiding laws and rules, permits and permissions when he built a small home on the water’s edge, what evidence do we have that laws and rules will be taken seriously and respected by this applicant/owner for an alleged “shed” Personally: In 2011, i spent a great deal of time in the South Frontenac municipal office discussing with a planner whether anything could ever be built on the irregular Barrett property east of the road allowance. The answer was no. So we bought the cabin. The Barrett area of the shoreline bordered by the municipal road allowance is the only quiet, unlit, uninhabited part of the shoreline we look at from our cabin. Our cabin and accompanying land, on the other hand, offers clear uninhabited pristine quiet wilderness for 25 families to enjoy. Upon looking at maps and measuring set backs, i was told that no building could ever occur on that portion of land because of set backs, road allowance, building codes.. we were assured that there would be no buildings, no lights, no living on that portion of the lake. So we bought the cabin. Two years ago, to our upset and horror, Joe Barrett erected a fully insulated wired small house on poured concrete footing right on the edge of the lake across from us.
Page 179 of 200
Now, Mr. Barrett (Mr. Norris) are proposing to build a 8'6" X 18’ “shed” after they remove their illegally built tiny house and as an accessry to a proposed seasonal dwelling 750 meters away. I have real concerns about the validity of Mr. Barrett’s/ Norris proposal for an accessory shed. There is no primary dwelling. There is LOTS of other places for sheds closer to the water on Barrett property. This application seems a whole lot like a loophole hope to keep a dwelling illegally on the area of land our family was assured could NOT be built upon. Please please consider what this application is really about. Questions: If the variance is accepted: Will the municipality ensure that the current illegal house be removed from the property?; Will the municipality ensure that the shed is built 6 months post final occupancy of the main dwelling? What will the municipality do, if approved, when there are reports of people staying in this proposed “assessory shed” as a sleeping cabin? when it becomes wired? or runs a generator all day?
Page 180 of 200
If it is approved, will the municipality be certain to enforce that this ‘shed’ not be used as a sleeping cabin?
I request that the development committee seriously consider a few things:
- What does it mean to tell a constituent (me) that there could be no building ever on that stretch of land and now allow building there? an answer that affecting our buying a property? and that serious affects our quality of life at our own (lawful) cabin on the lake?
- The owner and applicant disregards and does not abide laws governing planning, development, land and waterways on Cronk Lake and this application is a smoke screen for permission to build a dwelling where no dwelling is allowed;
- Does this application (variance) for an accessory shed even apply when there is NO CURRENT DWELLING on the property?
- Why is the applicant not using properties and owned access to CRONK LAKE that are within 100 meters of the proposed future dwelling?? rather than almost a kilometer away?
- Why is there a need for this application at all when NO PRIMARY DWELLING exists?
- Is it possible that this application for a variance for a proposed accessory shed on a proposed seasonal dwelling is an attempt for Joe Barrett and Mr. Norris to sidestep the laws and requirements we ALL have in the municipality to build according to and with permits and permissions? Please do not allow Mr. Barrett and Mr. Norris a variance to the laws governing this land.. there should be no “shed” in a location that makes no sense at all to a future dwelling.
Thank you.

Minor Variance Application MV-45-21-S, Andrew Tulett, 538 Mount Chesney Road, Storrington District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of the portion of this application for zoning relief for an accessory building (detached garage) in the projected front yard of the main building subject to conditions, as this application meets the four tests of a minor variance outlined in section 45(1) of Planning Act. This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment deny the portion of this application for zoning relief for an accessory building (shed) in the front yard.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Rural – Special Provision (RU-26) Zoning Relief Requested Section 5.24.2 Accessory Building – to permit two accessory buildings (detached garage and shed) in the projected front yard of the main building, whereas the Zoning By-law requires accessory buildings to be erected to the rear of the projected front or exterior side wall of the main building. Related Applications The subject property is not subject to any other applications under the Planning Act.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Minor Variance Application MV-45-21-S, Andrew Tulett, 538 Mount Chesney Road, Storrington District
Discussion/Analysis Property Description The 1.0 hectare property has frontage on Mount Chesney Road and Battersea Road. The entrance to the property is on Mount Chesney Road because the Battersea Road frontage consists of a high embankment and deep ditch that is not safe or practical for an entrance. A drainage swale was constructed on the property to ensure that water from one of the Battersea Road culvert flows directly to a Mount Chesney Road culvert instead of ponding on the property. The property is developed with a 1280 square foot garage that is setback approximately 23 metres from the front lot line (abutting Mount Chesney Road), and that is centred on the property. A sewage system that services the garage is located to the east of the garage. An 800 square foot shed is under construction without a building permit, approximately 10 metres from the front lot line, to the southwest of the garage. The shed consists of two shipping containers spanned by a roof. The setback measurement is based on site observations of the shed relative to the position of the garage, not the measurement provided in the application (23 metres). Summary of Proposal The owner proposes to construct a 5312 square foot single detached dwelling between Battersea Road and the existing garage. The dwelling will either be serviced by the existing sewage system which would be upgraded, or by a new sewage system. The location of the dwelling would make the garage and shed non-compliant with Section 5.24.2 of the Zoning By-law, which requires accessory buildings and structures to be located behind the main building. An application for minor variance was received to permit two accessory buildings (the garage and shed) within the projected front yard of the proposed dwelling on the subject property. Department and Agency Comments The application did not meet the criteria for circulation to Township departments and to agencies.

Building Services is in receipt of a building permit application for the shed. 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 or does not meet 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. The subject lands are designated Rural in the Official Plan on Schedule A. The type and amount of development on Rural lands must maintain the rural character, natural heritage, and cultural landscape in the Township. The proposed dwelling and accessory buildings, such as the garage and shed, are permitted uses on a property in the Rural designation. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law?
The proposed variance for the garage maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law, but the variance for the shed does not. The RU-26 zone permits one accessory storage building or structure prior to the construction of the primary use on the property. The existing garage is therefore a permitted use. The dwelling must be located behind the garage because it is not physically possible to locate a dwelling between Mount Chesney Road and the garage. The Rural zone requires a minimum 20 metre front yard for a dwelling, and the garage is setback 23 metres from the front lot line. The garage is centred on the property such that the dwelling could not be located in line with the garage. The garage is located a suitable distance from the front lot line, exceeding the minimum 20 metre front yard depth required for a principal building in the Rural zone. Additional accessory buildings, such as the shed, would be a permitted use once a principal building is established on the property, per the RU-26 zone. However, permitting both the garage and the shed in the projected front yard of the dwelling www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

would take the property farther from compliance with the Zoning By-law. Staff are also concerned with the placement of the shed and its 10 metre setback from the front lot line. Is the requested variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure in question? The requested variance relative to the garage is desirable for the appropriate development of the land. The garage is a legally established use on the property. The proposal to construct a single detached dwelling brings the property into greater compliance with the intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The location of the garage on the property and relative to Mount Chesney Road makes it necessary to locate the dwelling behind the garage. The Battersea Road frontage consists of a high embankment and deep ditch. It would not be safe or practical to relocate the property entrance to Battersea Road in order to change what would be defined as the front yard. The location of the shed is not desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land as it crowds the front yard, which is contrary to the intent of the by-law that accessory buildings should not be the focal point of a residential property. Is the variance minor?
The requested variance relative to the garage 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. The requested variance relative to the shed is not minor as it does not maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law and is not desirable for the appropriate development of the land.
Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 10 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given:
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by posting on the Township’s Current Planning Application webpage by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies (e.g. Conservation Authority, County Clerk, School Boards, Ontario Power Generation Inc. and Hydro One Inc.)
