Minutes of Committee Of Adjustment December, 11, 2025 Ms. Kaestner read the resolution for approval of the application, subject to conditions.

Resolution No. 2025-11-07 Moved by: Alan Revill Seconded by: Mike Howe THAT the Committee of Adjustment hereby approves minor variance application PL-ZNA-2025-0104, for property municipally addressed as 198A Brooks Lane, permitting a 288 square foot sleeping cabin to establish a 24.4 metre front yard and highwater mark setback, subject to conditions Carried b) PL-ZNA-2025-0113 (Samoil) - Portland District Property Address: 4291 Genge Street Purpose & Effect of the Application: There are two storage sheds in the backyard of this property. The owners propose to connect the two sheds to make one 398 square foot shed. They need permission to connect the sheds and make a larger building because the sheds are less than 30 metres from Verona Lake. Christine Woods, Manager of Planning, presented her report to the Committee with a staff recommendation that the application be approved. Mr. Pegrum inquired as to whether the applicant or their agent wished to address the Committee. Gabriel Samoil, applicant, confirmed to the Committee that he had paid the review fee to the Conservation Authority and wasn’t sure why there were no comments received from the agency, and stated that everything in Ms. Woods’ presentation was correct. Mr. Pegrum inquired as to whether any members of the public wished to comment on the application. Michele Zigman, adjacent landowner, asked what the enlarged shed would be used for on the property. Mr. Samoil stated that the primary reason was to have more storage but also to stop water erosion that was occurring between the two sheds. There was further discussion regarding the shed being used for entertainment. Ms. Woods clarified that the zoning by-law allows for accessory buildings to be used for both storage and as living space, so either of the contemplated uses would be compliant with the zoning by-law. Committee member Roberts asked Ms. Woods to confirm whether she received any correspondence from Quinte Conservation regarding the proposal. Ms. Woods stated that she did not receive formal written comments, but from conversations that took place with QCA before the application was submitted, the agency was satisfied with the location of the structures and stated that a permit would be required from them as part of the building permit process.
Page 45 of 119
Minutes of Committee Of Adjustment December, 11, 2025 Ms. Kaestner read the resolution for approval of the application. Committee member Revill inquired as to whether it would be appropriate to amend the resolution to include the conditions that a both a building permit and a conservation permit be required. Ms. Woods stated that it would not be appropriate to add these conditions, as the work that is being proposed will require a permit under the Ontario Building Code, and having a permit from the Conservation Authority would be classified as applicable law, meaning that a building permit can not be issued until a permit from the conservation authority has been provided to the building department. Mr. Revill withdrew his request to amend the motion. Resolution No. 2025-11-08 Moved by: Scott Trueman Seconded by: Mike Howe THAT the Committee hereby approves application PL-ZNA-2025-0113, for property municipally addressed as 4291 Genge Street, granting permission for two legal non-conforming sheds to be connected to make one 398 square foot shed.

Page 46 of 119
Minutes of Committee Of Adjustment December, 11, 2025 The owners have requested permission under s. 45(2) of the Planning Act to increase the area of a boathouse on Sydenham Lake. The property was developed with a dwelling and attached boathouse. The owners propose to construct a new detached boathouse in a similar footprint. The new boathouse would project 1.67 metres further onto Sydenham Lake but would not extend beyond the existing dock. The new boathouse would have a 44.6sqm (480sqft) footprint area, which is larger than the 28.46sqm (306.25sqft) footprint area of the old boathouse. The new boathouse would be approximately 2.16 metres shorter in height and would have an unenclosed observation deck on its roof. Noah Perron, Planner, introduced the file and advised the Committee that the applicant’s agent would provide the majority of the presentation. There was discussion between Mr. Pegrum and Ms. Woods as to whether having the agent provide a presentation would infringe upon the process and time limits in the procedural by-law. Ms. Woods confirmed that it is always an option for applicants (or their agents) to present their proposals to the Committee, and that the time limit only applies to members of the public. Jason Sands, Boulevard Group, provided a presentation to the Committee with a request that the application be approved, He stated that the applicant was agreeable to the conditions outlined in Mr. Perron’s staff report. Mr. Perron followed with a short presentation and concluded with a staff recommendation that the application be approved subject to the conditions outlined in his staff report. Mr. Pegrum inquired (3 times) as to whether there were any questions or comments from members of the public regarding the proposal. None heard. Committee member Roberts sought clarification regarding the condition of the proposal having to be consistent with the submitted drawings, and inquired as to what department is responsible for confirming this. Mr. Perron responded that every building permit application is reviewed by the Planning Coordinator to ensure compliance with the zoning by-law, so it would confirmed by Planning staff prior to the permit application being passed along to the building inspector. Ms. Kaestner read the resolution for approval of the application, subject to conditions. There were no comments arising from the resolution. Resolution No. 2025-11-09 Moved by: Ray Leonard Seconded by: Brett Moreland THAT the Committee hereby approves application PL-ZNA-2025-0117 for property municipally addressed as 1277 Sheila Lane, granting permission to replace the existing legal non-conforming boathouse with a 44.6 square metre boathouse, having a maximum building height of 3.25 metres, subject to conditions.

Application, PL-BDJ-2026-001 & PL-ZNA-2026-002 1206 Leland Road, South Frontenac Wetlands
Staff of Cataraqui Conservation (CRCA) have reviewed the above-noted application and supporting materials. We provide the following comments regarding the proposal with reference to our roles as a commenting agency responsible for natural hazards review, and as administrator of Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits (formerly O. Reg. 148/06). Summary of Proposal The proposal involves the creation of a new lot for residential development. The proposed severed lot has an area of 1 ha (2.6 ac) with 72 m of frontage. The retained lands have an area of 69 ha (172 ac) 483 m of frontage. The retained lands are developed with a single detached dwelling and accessory structures along the southern frontage of the subject lands. The proposal also involves a minor variance to permit a reduced frontage to less than the required 76 m. Discussion Cataraqui Conservation’s main interest, in the proposal is the protection of the hydrologic function of wetlands. The comments are focused on the consent application.

Natural Hazards Cataraqui Conservation, through our implementation of Ontario Regulation 41/24 and, in accordance with the natural hazards policies of the 2024 Provincial Planning Statement (PPS), directs development away from lands subject to natural hazards, such as flooding and erosion, and wetlands. Wetlands There is a large wetland complex in the northern portion of the subject lands and wetlands pockets throughout the retained lands. Based on a review of elevation mapping and aerial imagery, the wetlands extend onto adjacent lands and are hydrologically connected. Due to the size of the wetlands and the hydrological connectivity, the wetlands on the subject lands are regulated and a 30 m development setback applies. The proposed severed lot is in proximity to a wetland (Figure 1). The proposed lot is located outside of the wetland boundary but within the 30 m wetland setback. CRCA policies do not permit development within 30 m of the wetland boundary to protect their hydrologic function. There is adequate area (greater than 0.5 ha) outside of the 30 m wetland setback to accommodate a future building envelope on the proposed severed lot. The retained lands are developed and there appears to be adequate area outside of wetlands setbacks to accommodate future development on the retained lands, if proposed. Based on this, Cataraqui Conservation has no objections from a regulatory perspective. To protect the hydrologic function of the wetlands, staff recommend the maintenance and enhancement of a 30 m buffer of native vegetation around the wetland boundary, to help stabilize soils into the long-term. Runoff from buildings and structures and other hardened surfaces should also be directed away from the wetland to a naturally vegetated location where infiltration can occur. Recommendation Staff have no objection to the approval of applications PL-BDJ-2026-0001 & PL-ZNA2026-0002 based on our consideration for natural hazard and regulatory policies. Ontario Regulation 41/24 Lands within 30 m of wetlands are subject to Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions, and Permits, made pursuant to Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act. The purpose of O. Reg. 41/24 is to ensure that proposed changes (e.g. Page 2 of 3

PL-BDJ-2026-001 & PL-ZNA-2026-002 January 20, 2026
development and site alteration) to a property are not affected by natural hazards, such as flooding and that the changes do not put other properties at greater risk from these hazards. Current and future landowners should contact Cataraqui Conservation before considering any work within 30 m of the wetlands on the subject lands. Cataraqui Conservation Fees Cataraqui Conservation charges fees for our review of Planning Act applications. The fee for the review of a consent application is $465.00. Fees for this application remain outstanding. We request that the applicant submit this review fee at their earliest convenience. Fees can be paid online (https://crca.ca/payment/) or over the phone (613546-4228 ext. 220). Our files, for reference, are SEV/FRS/012/2026 and MV/FRS/013/2026

Consent Application PL-BDJ-2026-0001 and Minor Variance Application PL-ZNA-2026-0002, Green, Kennedy, 1206 Leland Road, Loughborough District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of the subject consent application subject to conditions and the minor variance application for zoning relief. Background The subject property is very large (174.6 acres/70.6 ha) and has multiple road frontages along Leland Road. The north end of the property abuts an unopened road allowance and contains a large wetland area. In the middle of the property, the lot has frontage along the curved part of Leland Road and is in proximity to a beaver pond. There is approximately 72 metres of frontage along the road at this part only. The middle area of the property along Leland Road was the original homestead area of the property. In 2003, the dwelling was lost to a house fire. At the south end of the property, there is approximately 483 metres of frontage along a different part of Leland Road. The southern area along Leland Road is vacant and consists of tree-covered areas. The subject lands are designated as Rural in the South Frontenac Township Official Plan 2025. The exception are the wetlands and ponds, which are in the Environmental Protection designated area. The entire property is zoned Rural Zone (RU) in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended. Proposal The consent application is for the creation of one new residential lot in the middle portion of the property along Leland Road. The lot to be severed is proposed to have a frontage of 72 metres along Leland Road and have an area of 2.6 acres (1 ha). The minor variance application is to allow the severed parcel to have less than the minimum 76 metres of lot frontage required by section 7.3.2 of the Zoning By-law. The lot to be retained is proposed to have a frontage of approximately 483 metres along the south property line along Leland Road, with an area of approximately 172 acres (59.3 ha).

Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act at this time. Department and Agency Comments Cataraqui Conservation (CRCA) advised of no objections. The CRCA noted that they should be contacted before the current or future landowner considers work within 30 metres of any regulated features or unevaluated wetlands on the property. Public Services advised that they have no objections. The severed parcel has an existing residential access that can continue to be used for residential purposes. There is suitable frontage on the retained portion of the property for safe access. Public Comments No public comments were received at the time of writing this report. Planning Analysis The consent application needs to be assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Planning Statement 2024 (PPS), Township of South Frontenac Official Plan 2025, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended. The minor variance application needs to be assessed against the four tests of a minor variance outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. The Provincial Planning Statement (2024) allows residential lot creation on Rural lands where site conditions are suitable for the provision of appropriate sewage and water services. The County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan also permit residential development in the Rural designation. Section 9.3.2 of the Township Official Plan indicates that a maximum of three (3) new lots (exclusive of the retained parcel) may be permitted through the consent process from a lot of record as it existed on November 25, 2003. The subject property is eligible for a severance under Section 9.3.2 because there was one previous severance from the subject property in 2019. Section 9.1 of the Township Official Plan requires that for new lots created, they need to be a minimum 0.8 hectare lot size and have a minimum 76 metres of frontage on a public road. Section 9.1b) v) states that reductions in lot size, water frontage or lot frontage may be varied without amendment to this Plan, provided that the intent of applicable Official Plan policies are met, and the reduction is recognized through an appropriate planning process, such as a minor variance or zoning by-law amendment. For properties in the RU Zone, section 7.3.2 of the zoning by-law states that the minimum lot frontage for single detached residential uses is 76 metres (250 ft). Section 5.8.2 a of the Zoning By-law states that no building or structure shall be located within 30 metres horizontal of the high-water mark of a waterbody or permanent www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

watercourse. The lot proposed to be severed is large enough for development to be located outside the required 30 metre setback to the beaver pond. The area where the severed lot is proposed only has 72 metres of frontage. The severed frontage would include all the available frontage on Leland Road for that area of the property. The lot proposed would also be similar to the frontages of lots of record on this section of Leland Road (they range from 60 to 90 metres). The proposed reduced frontage does not impact the development potential of the severed parcel nor the continued use of the retained parcel. The development area previously had a dwelling, but it burned down approx. 20 years ago. The proposed lot would be able to accommodate a new house and well and sewage system separation requirements. The lot to be retained currently meets and will continue to meet the lot size requirements and lot frontage requirements being approximately 172 acres in size and having a frontage of 483 metres along Leland Road. Rural development must be serviced by private water and sewage systems. The Township typically requires the ability to be serviced by a private well to be demonstrated as a condition of consent approval. Section 7.4.4 e) states that a hydrogeological assessment is required for new lots created by consent that would be serviced by a drilled or dug well to demonstrate a viable water supply. The study must be prepared in accordance with Township standards and Provincial guidelines, to the satisfaction of the Township. This is a recommended condition of approval. Sewage system requirements would be addressed at the building permit application stage. Conclusion The consent application meets the criteria outlined in section 51(24) of the Planning Act, does not require a plan of subdivision for the proper and orderly development of the municipality, is consistent with the PPS, and conforms to the County and Township Official Plans. The severed parcel will comply with the Zoning By-law subject to the requested minor variance for lot frontage. It is the opinion of Planning staff that the proposed approximately 72 metre lot frontage of the severed parcel meets the four tests for a minor variance – the variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, it is desirable for the appropriate development of the lands, and it is minor in nature. Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 14 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given: • • •
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies
•
Notice was also posted on the Township website.

19)Date land acquired: When did you take possession of the property?
—
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 space.
17)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. ln some instances, a proposed addition or increase in height cannot be accomplished without the removal of existing walls. Ifthis 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.
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: Ifyou are planning to build ANYTHING on 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
Parking and Docking: This question is only relevant is you can only access your property by water.

Consent Application PL-BDJ-2026-0001 and Minor Variance Application PL-ZNA-2026-0002, Green, Kennedy, 1206 Leland Road, Loughborough District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of the subject consent application subject to conditions and the minor variance application for zoning relief. Background The subject property is very large (174.6 acres/70.6 ha) and has multiple road frontages along Leland Road. The north end of the property abuts an unopened road allowance and contains a large wetland area. In the middle of the property, the lot has frontage along the curved part of Leland Road and is in proximity to a beaver pond. There is approximately 72 metres of frontage along the road at this part only. The middle area of the property along Leland Road was the original homestead area of the property. In 2003, the dwelling was lost to a house fire. At the south end of the property, there is approximately 483 metres of frontage along a different part of Leland Road. The southern area along Leland Road is vacant and consists of tree-covered areas. The subject lands are designated as Rural in the South Frontenac Township Official Plan 2025. The exception are the wetlands and ponds, which are in the Environmental Protection designated area. The entire property is zoned Rural Zone (RU) in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended. Proposal The consent application is for the creation of one new residential lot in the middle portion of the property along Leland Road. The lot to be severed is proposed to have a frontage of 72 metres along Leland Road and have an area of 2.6 acres (1 ha). The minor variance application is to allow the severed parcel to have less than the minimum 76 metres of lot frontage required by section 7.3.2 of the Zoning By-law. The lot to be retained is proposed to have a frontage of approximately 483 metres along the south property line along Leland Road, with an area of approximately 172 acres (59.3 ha).

Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act at this time. Department and Agency Comments Cataraqui Conservation (CRCA) advised of no objections. The CRCA noted that they should be contacted before the current or future landowner considers work within 30 metres of any regulated features or unevaluated wetlands on the property. Public Services advised that they have no objections. The severed parcel has an existing residential access that can continue to be used for residential purposes. There is suitable frontage on the retained portion of the property for safe access. Public Comments No public comments were received at the time of writing this report. Planning Analysis The consent application needs to be assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Planning Statement 2024 (PPS), Township of South Frontenac Official Plan 2025, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended. The minor variance application needs to be assessed against the four tests of a minor variance outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. The Provincial Planning Statement (2024) allows residential lot creation on Rural lands where site conditions are suitable for the provision of appropriate sewage and water services. The County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan also permit residential development in the Rural designation. Section 9.3.2 of the Township Official Plan indicates that a maximum of three (3) new lots (exclusive of the retained parcel) may be permitted through the consent process from a lot of record as it existed on November 25, 2003. The subject property is eligible for a severance under Section 9.3.2 because there was one previous severance from the subject property in 2019. Section 9.1 of the Township Official Plan requires that for new lots created, they need to be a minimum 0.8 hectare lot size and have a minimum 76 metres of frontage on a public road. Section 9.1b) v) states that reductions in lot size, water frontage or lot frontage may be varied without amendment to this Plan, provided that the intent of applicable Official Plan policies are met, and the reduction is recognized through an appropriate planning process, such as a minor variance or zoning by-law amendment. For properties in the RU Zone, section 7.3.2 of the zoning by-law states that the minimum lot frontage for single detached residential uses is 76 metres (250 ft). Section 5.8.2 a of the Zoning By-law states that no building or structure shall be located within 30 metres horizontal of the high-water mark of a waterbody or permanent www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

watercourse. The lot proposed to be severed is large enough for development to be located outside the required 30 metre setback to the beaver pond. The area where the severed lot is proposed only has 72 metres of frontage. The severed frontage would include all the available frontage on Leland Road for that area of the property. The lot proposed would also be similar to the frontages of lots of record on this section of Leland Road (they range from 60 to 90 metres). The proposed reduced frontage does not impact the development potential of the severed parcel nor the continued use of the retained parcel. The development area previously had a dwelling, but it burned down approx. 20 years ago. The proposed lot would be able to accommodate a new house and well and sewage system separation requirements. The lot to be retained currently meets and will continue to meet the lot size requirements and lot frontage requirements being approximately 172 acres in size and having a frontage of 483 metres along Leland Road. Rural development must be serviced by private water and sewage systems. The Township typically requires the ability to be serviced by a private well to be demonstrated as a condition of consent approval. Section 7.4.4 e) states that a hydrogeological assessment is required for new lots created by consent that would be serviced by a drilled or dug well to demonstrate a viable water supply. The study must be prepared in accordance with Township standards and Provincial guidelines, to the satisfaction of the Township. This is a recommended condition of approval. Sewage system requirements would be addressed at the building permit application stage. Conclusion The consent application meets the criteria outlined in section 51(24) of the Planning Act, does not require a plan of subdivision for the proper and orderly development of the municipality, is consistent with the PPS, and conforms to the County and Township Official Plans. The severed parcel will comply with the Zoning By-law subject to the requested minor variance for lot frontage. It is the opinion of Planning staff that the proposed approximately 72 metre lot frontage of the severed parcel meets the four tests for a minor variance – the variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, it is desirable for the appropriate development of the lands, and it is minor in nature. Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 14 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given: • • •
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies
•
Notice was also posted on the Township website.

17)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. lfthis 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.
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: It you are planning to build ANYTHING on 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”.

Subject:
Application for Permission to Enlarge Legal Non-Conforming Use PLZNA-2025-0128, Groenewegen and Leroux, 2113 Bracken Road, Portland District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming building under section 45(2) of the Planning Act. Background The subject property is approximately 110 acres in area. It has frontage on Yarker Road to the south and Bracken Road to the west. At the south and eastern portions of the property there are wetlands and a watercourse. The property is developed with a dwelling located along Bracken Road at the south end of the property. There is a barn, silos, and agricultural buildings north of the dwelling. The subject lands are designated as Rural in the South Frontenac Township Official Plan 2025. The exceptions are the wetlands and watercourse at the south and eastern portions of the property. They are in the Environmental Protection designation. The entire property is zoned Rural Zone (RU) in the Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended. The barn located along Bracken Road is 11.5m from the front lot line, whereas the Zoning By-law requires a 20 metres front yard setback in the RU zone. Proposal The application is seeking permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge the barn while further reducing the required front yard from 11.5 metres to 7.3 metres. The applicants propose a 396 square foot addition to the south side of the barn to be used as cold storage and a loading dock area. The addition was recently constructed without a building permit. The owners are working with Building Services to secure the necessary building permit. Zoning compliance in the form of Committee approval of the barn addition location is one of the requirements for a building permit.

Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act. Department Comments Public Services advised that no road widenings are anticipated along the corridor. Public Comments A phone call was received from the owner of 3635 Wilton Road. They stated that they are not able to attend the meeting but wanted to advise that they are in full support of the application. Planning Analysis Section 5.10.1 of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended, indicates that existing buildings having less than the required minimum front yard may be enlarged provided the enlargement does not serve to further reduce a required yard and provided all other provisions of the By-law are complied with. The barn was constructed in the 1960s. As noted above, the barn is setback 11.5 metres from the front lot line at the closest point, whereas a 20 metres front yard is required. The proposed addition would further reduce the front yard to 7.3 metres. Through its powers under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to enlarge the garage. The generally accepted criteria for considering such a request are: • whether the proposal is desirable for the appropriate development of the subject property, and • whether the proposal will result in undue adverse impacts on surrounding properties and the neighbourhood. Section 5.30.2.17 of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended, requires that loading facilities, such as a loading dock area, shall not be located or used within 1 metre of any lot line or street line. The addition would be closer to the front lot line and road than the barn, but it is not anticipated to impact visibility along the road. The loading dock door is situated on the north side of the addition and would be accessed from the existing loop driveway. As a result, all loading or unloading activities would take place between the addition and the loop driveway, with vehicles parking parallel to the barn. This configuration ensures that vehicles would not block the roadway.
