Mr. Ruttan inquired (3 times) as to whether there were any comments or questions from members of the public regarding the application. (None heard.) The Chair asked Committee members if they had any questions for staff or the agent regarding the application.

Mr. Fehr reminded Mr. Revill and the Committee that this is a Permission application under s.45(2) of the Planning Act, and as a result the only criteria that they examine the application under is whether the development is appropriate for the property and whether there are any adverse effects on neighbouring property owners.

Delegated Authority Report Kate Kaestner delivered her report to the Committee. There were no questions from Committee members regarding the report. Kate Kaestner also advised the Committee of Tom Fehr’s impending departure from the Township as he pursues another career opportunity and reminded the Committee that there is no January Committee meeting to they will meet again in February. Committee Member Alan Revill spoke to the challenges of performing site visits in the winter months, especially on private lanes, and requested that applicants be required to make their properties accessible for Committee members. Christine Woods, Manager of Planning, responded that there are a couple of options available. The first being to ensure that applicants are aware that their properties need to be accessible throughout this process, and if it is not, then the application will be delayed until such time that it can be accessed or conditions are more favourable for it to be evaluated. Ms. Woods stated that it isn’t just about access, it’s also about being able to see and evaluate the property, which can be difficult if there is considerable snow cover. We also need to consider that there is a current postal strike, so whether or not we have a meeting in February will be dependant upon the resumption of postal services. Randy Ruttan, stating that this may be his last meeting as Chairperson of the Committee, commented on the professionalism of Planning staff, stating that he often receives comments from applicants commending the level of service they receive. Mr. Ruttan also thanked Committee members for their professionalism and their ability to treat applicants fairly and equitably.

Hello planning department! We just wanted to express our support of Kaylie Fanning’s application to sever some land from her grandparents parcel on Burridge Lake. WE are currently neighbors with three families of Fannings, including the applicant and her grandparents (the current owners of the land being severed) and know that they will do a great job creating a new lot. Kaylie is a remarkable young woman and we absolutely support her and her family in this application. All the best Adrian and Victoria Capes, 264 Bunidge Lake Road, Godfrey, ON KOH1T0

Attached is an email that was sent to Kate Kaestner yesterday. Based on our call it is my understanding that 1) the applicant is authorized by the owners of the property to make the application and the owners will provide the authorization in writing. 2)prior to the severance taking effect the applicant will provide a survey of the proposed severed lot and there will provide assurances that the new lot will not infringe on the property contiguous which is owned by Sharon and Sheldon Polansky. I believe that you are aware of a survey prepared by Grange and Elliot under # 10227 which details the property that belongs to my wife and me. I will send to you a copy of the description of my property as well as the survey map by separate email. The description of the property also says that a plan was prepared by Humphries and Brigham, Ontario Land Surveyors dated September 7 ,1977 and numbered 24656 which plan forms a part of the legal description in Instrument No: 302512. I do not have a copy of this Plan. 3) the road currently indicated as owned by the current owner will be ceded to the municipality of South Frontenac as a condition of the approval of the severance. We also spoke about the boat launch which is located on my property. The description of my property provides that there is a right of way adjoining the easterly boundary of my land which is described as Part6 according to reference Plan 13R-1331 as described in Instrument Number 370322. I would like to confirm that this right of way is for the benefit of the property owners around the lake and excludes others. Apparently users with no attachment to the Lake are launching boats and using the lake causing congestion on the lake and leaving garbage in and on the lake as well as around the boat launch. The owners of lake property would like to stop this from happening and have approached me to try to find a solution to this issue. As I advised you I have no issues with the severance application subject to the above comments. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you. Sheldon Sent from my iPhone

My address is 137 Burridge Lake Road. I have looked the undated material that was received this week concerning the Application. Please consider the following comments:

the application does not seem to be made by the owners of the property. Kaylie Fanning according to the materials received by me is not the registered owner of the land to be severed.
has a survey been filed for the land to be severed. I want to be sure that the lot to be severed does not infringe on my property which is contiguous.
one of the maps sent with your mail says that it shows the current owner owns the road. I understood that the road was a municipal road and not owned by private persons. Please consider these comments and call me at . Thank you. Sheldon Polansky. Sent from my iPhone

Application for Consent PL-BDJ-2021-0105 John & Christine Fanning 184 Burridge Lake Road, Township of South Frontenac ARN 1029 0100 5030 5000 0000

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

Section 3.1 Natural Hazards of the Provincial Policy Statement under Section 3 of the Planning Act; Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act; The Mississippi-Rideau Source Water Protection Plan;

The Proposal Based on the circulated materials, RVCA understands the application seeks to create a new rural residential lot. The severed lands will be approximately 1.3 ha in area with approximately 105 m of frontage on Burridge Lake Road. The retained lands will be approximately 74 ha in area with approximately 250 m of frontage on Burridge Lake Road and 220 m of frontage on Burridge Lake.

Page 72 of 116

The Property The subject lands are legally described as Part Lots 23 & 24, Concession 7 in Bedford, municipally known as 184 Burridge Lake Road. The lands are currently developed with a dwelling, barn, and other accessory structures, and appear to contain mature trees and vegetation. A review of our records and mapping shows that a small portion of the subject lands is within the Wolfe Lake Wetland Complex at the eastern edge of the property, and a small portion of the subject lands is within the Michael’s Creek Marsh at the western edge of the property, both Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs). The proposed severed lands do not appear to impact or encroach upon the mapped PSWs. Our records do not indicate the presence of any other mapped natural hazards in the form of mapped floodplain, steep slopes, or marine clays present on the subject lands. Provincial Policy Statement Regarding Section 3.1 Natural Hazards within the PPS, our office has no concerns as there are no natural hazard features present or identified on the subject lands that would be impacted by the proposed severance. Ontario Regulation 41/24 If any development activity or site alteration is proposed within RVCA’s Regulated Area (within 15m of a watercourse/waterbody, or 30 m of a wetland), written permission from our office will be required in accordance with Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits. Source Water Protection The subject property is identified as overlying a highly vulnerable aquifer. These are aquifers that are vulnerable to surface contaminants due to thin or absent soils overlying bedrock that may be fractured. Where these conditions exist, it may be possible for contaminants to enter drinking groundwater supplies. For this reason, care should be taken to avoid land uses and practices that may inadvertently lead to undesirable effects on groundwater. Some best practices that could be considered include: • • • • •

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

Consent Application PL-BDJ-2024-0105, Fanning, 184 Burridge Lake Road, Bedford District

Summary This application is for the creation of a residential lot. The Committee of Adjustment is being asked to make a decision on this application, as it is a disputed consent per By-law 202027. Specifically, the consent does not conform to the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan and there are unresolved concerns from Public Services regarding creating a lot for which the road access would create a traffic hazard because of limited sight lines on curves or grades. Background The purpose of the application is to create one new rural residential lot. The severed parcel would be approximately 1.3ha (3 acres) in area with approximately 105m of frontage on Burridge Lake Road. The severed lands are currently vacant. The retained lot will be approximately 74ha (184 acres) in area with approximately 250m of frontage on Burridge Lake Road and 220m of frontage on Burridge Lake. The retained lands are developed with a house, an old barn, and two sheds. It is proposed to have the severed parcel share the existing entrance for the house at 184 Burridge Lake Road. Designation and Zoning The subject property is designated Rural on Schedule A of the Township Official Plan. It is zoned Rural (RU) in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended. The exceptions are a couple of wetlands that are designated and zoned Environmental Protection (EP). Related Applications The subject property is not subject to any other applications under the Planning Act. Review This application: X Does not meet the criteria of section 51(24) of the Planning Act, specifically (g);  Does not require a plan of subdivision for the proper and orderly development of the municipality (s. 53(1) Planning Act); www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Page 75 of 116

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-BDJ-2024-0105

 Is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (s. 3(5) Planning Act);  Conforms to the County of Frontenac Official Plan (s. 3.3); X Does not conform to the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan (s. 5.7.4, 7.1);  Complies with Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 (or will comply subject to a standard condition of rezoning or minor variance); and X Has unresolved objections/concerns raised from agencies or the public. Property Description The subject property is located in the north end of the Township. It is on Burridge Lake Road and Burridge Lake. The property is 187 acres in area. It consists of forest, wetland and farmland. The house, old barn, and sheds are located on the east side of the property. The property surrounds Space Lane and many waterfront residential lots. Department and Agency Comments Public Services indicated on October 17, 2024, that they do not support the consent application. The severed parcel would have inadequate sight lines for a driveway entrance. They noted that substantial roadworks (including clearing trees along the shoreline) would be required to achieve entrance visibility requirements. Regarding the proposed shared entrance with #184, it was noted that they do not support development that is not safely accessible from its own frontage. In subsequent conversation, Public Services provided the opinion that the existing entrance also does not meet entrance visibility requirements. Public Services noted that if the application is approved, there should be a condition requiring dedication of Burridge Lake Road within a 20 metre wide road allowance, as it is a forced road. Building Services had no concern with the suitability of the severed parcel to accommodate a sewage system. Rideau Valley Conservation Authority indicated on November 7, 2024, that they had no objection to the consent application. Public Comments Supportive comments were received from the owners of 264 Burridge Lake Road. The owner of 137 Burridge Lake Road indicated that they had no issues with the application. Planning Analysis The Provincial Planning Statement 2024 allows growth and development to be directed to rural lands, including residential lot creation where site conditions are suitable for the provision of appropriate sewage and water services. The County of Frontenac Official Plan and the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan also permit residential development in the Rural designation. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Page 76 of 116

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-BDJ-2024-0105

Section 5.7.4 of the Official Plan indicates that a maximum of three rural residential lots may be created by consent from a landholding provided that the new lots meet the General Consent Policies, as well as all other applicable policies. The subject property is eligible for severances under Section 5.7.4, as there have been no previous severances from the subject property since the adoption of the Township Official Plan. Section 5.7.4 requires the frontage, size and shape of any lot created for rural residential purposes through the severance approval process to be appropriate for the proposed use and to conform to the provisions of the zoning by-law. The severed parcel would exceed the requirements for a minimum lot area of 0.8 hectare and minimum of 76 metres of frontage on a public road. In terms of appropriateness of the lot size and shape, building Services was satisfied that the severed parcel would have the ability to be serviced by a private sewage disposal system. The Township typically requires the ability to be serviced by a private well to be demonstrated as a condition of consent approval. In terms of appropriateness of lot frontage, all new lots must to 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 Township (section 7.1(h)). Consents should not be granted for land adjacent to a road from which access is to be obtained where a traffic hazard would be created because of limited sight lines on curves or grades (section 7.1(i)). Public Services confirmed that the severed parcel would have inadequate sight lines for a driveway entrance on its own frontage. Section 7.1(r) indicates that the Township may require the use of shared entrances by abutting property owners or other such measures in order to ensure the proper functioning of the road system. In these circumstances an easement agreement is required to ensure that maintenance of the entrance will be the mutual responsibility of the affected landowners. Planning staff would be supportive of a shared entrance for the subject property on Burridge Lake Road. However, Public Services raised concerns with use of the existing entrance being expanded to another property because the existing entrance also does not meet visibility requirements for safe ingress and egress. Section 51(24) of the Planning Act requires regard to be had to the health, safety, convenience, accessibility for persons with disabilities and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of the municipality, and to several criteria. Criteria (g) is the restrictions or proposed restrictions, if any, on the land proposed to be subdivided or the buildings and structures proposed to be erected on it and the restrictions, if any, on adjoining land. This includes the provision of safe access to properties, which cannot be achieved for the severed parcel. Conclusion It is the opinion of staff that the application does not support the orderly development of safe and healthy communities. Specifically, the proposal does not satisfy the Township Official land division policies, nor section 51(24) (g) of the Planning Act.

Subject:

Application for Minor Variance PL-ZNA-2025-0004 Genevieve Hollingsworth 70C Palmer Lane, South Frontenac ARN 1029 0100 5025 0000 0000

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

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

The Proposal Based on the circulated materials, RVCA understands this application requests permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming dwelling within the 30 m highwater mark of Burridge Lake. The dwelling and the proposed addition would increase the total gross floor area to approximately 151 m2, with a building height of 7.1 m.

Page 103 of 116

The existing dwelling and attached deck are set back approximately 25.6 m and 22.6 m from Burridge Lake, respectively, and the proposed addition will not encroach further towards the highwater mark than the existing dwelling. The Property The subject lands are described as Part Lot 22 Concession 7 Bedford, municipally known as 70 C Palmer Lane in the Township of South Frontenac. The lands are approximately 0.54 ha (1.33 ac) in area, with approximately 29 m of water frontage and road frontage on Palmer Lane. The lands are presently developed with an existing dwelling, deck, accessory garage, and private servicing. A review of our records and mapping shows that there are no Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs) or mapped natural hazards in the form of mapped floodplain, steep slopes, or marine clays present on the subject lands. Provincial Policy Statement Regarding Section 5.2 Natural Hazards within the PPS, our office has no concerns with the requested minor variance as there are no regulated natural hazards identified on the subject lands. Ontario Regulation 41/24 The proposed minor variance request does not appear to impact any identified regulated natural hazards. Any development activity and/or site alteration proposed within RVCA’s regulated area (within 15 metres of a watercourse/waterbody) will require a permit from our office in accordance with Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits. Source Water Protection The subject property is identified as overlying a highly vulnerable aquifer. These are aquifers that are vulnerable to surface contaminants due to thin or absent soils overlying bedrock that may be fractured. Where these conditions exist, it may be possible for contaminants to enter drinking groundwater supplies. For this reason, care should be taken to avoid land uses and practices that may inadvertently lead to undesirable effects on groundwater. Some best practices that could be considered include: • • • • •

Conclusion In conclusion, our office has no objections to the requested minor variance. Please advise us on the Committee’s decision respecting this application, or any changes in the status of the application. Best regards,

Subject:

Permission Application (S. 45(2) of Planning Act) PL-ZNA-2025-0004, Hollingsworth, 70C Palmer Lane, Bedford District

Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application for permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming dwelling under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, subject to conditions. Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Limited Service Residential Waterfront & Limited Service Residential Relief Requested The applicant seeks permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge the legal non-conforming dwelling on the property within 30 metres of the highwater mark of Burridge Lake. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act. Property Description The subject property is 1.39Ac (~5625sqm) in area with frontage on the south shore of Burridge Lake. Access is via Palmer Lane which extends from Green Bay Road. A portion of Palmer Lane extends through the subject property, with all existing development being to the north of the lane. Existing development consists of a single detached dwelling and a detached garage. Except in the immediate area of existing development, the property features an abundance of mature tree and vegetation growth, including the area between the dwelling and the shoreline. The property is situated within a slope extending downwards towards the shoreline. The surrounding area consists of residential development.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2025-0004

Proposal The subject property is presently developed with ~64sqm dwelling with 50sqm attached deck. The applicants are proposing to construct a 28sqm addition along the southeast corner (away from the shoreline), a 49sqm loft addition over a portion of the existing building, and a 10sqm screened porch over a portion of the existing deck. The proposal would result in an increase in gross floor area from 64sqm to 151sqm, and an increase in building height from 5.4m to 7.1m. The existing setback of the dwelling (25.6m) and attached deck (22.6m) to the highwater mark would remain unchanged. Department and Agency Comments Rideau Valley Conservation comments were not received at the time of writing this report. RVCA comments will be shared with the Committee at the public meeting. Building Services has no objection with the application. The applicant must apply for a review of performance level of the existing sewage system at the building permit stage. Public Services were not circulated the application due to the subject property being located on a private lane. Public Comments No comments were received at the time of writing this report. Planning Analysis The Township Official Plan Schedule designates the subject property as Rural and the property is zoned both RLSW and RLS by Zoning By-law 2003-75. The dwelling is a permitted use. Section 5.10.2 of the Zoning By-law states that existing buildings with less than the minimum 30m setback from the highwater mark of waterbody may be repaired, renovated, or strengthened to a safe condition provided there is no enlargement of the gross floor area or increase in height. This provision prohibits the enlargement of these existing buildings, without seeking permission from the Committee of Adjustment. The Zoning By-law considers the existing seasonal dwelling as a legal non-conforming building because it was constructed prior to the current Zoning By-law and is setback ~25.6m from the highwater mark of Burridge Lake Through its powers under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to enlarge the dwelling. The criteria for considering an application under Section 45(2) are: • •

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

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2025-0004

The existing dwelling is presently setback 25.6m from the highwater mark or Burridge Lake with the attached deck being setback 22.6m. The proposal consists of three individual additions, none of which would result in further encroachment towards the highwater mark. Additionally, the applicant proposes to rebuild the existing deck within its current envelope, making use of the existing posts and piers. Therefore, the current setbacks of the dwelling and attached deck to the highwater mark would remain unchanged. The proposal would facilitate an increase in gross floor area from approximately 64sqm to 151sqm. The ground floor area of the enlarged dwelling and attached deck would increase from 114sqm to 142sqm, increasing lot coverage to roughly 2.6%. As a result of the loft addition, the building height of the existing dwelling will increase from 5.4m to 7.1m. The proposed scale of the building would not conflict with existing patterns of development in the neighbourhood. The proposal would ultimately contribute additional living space to facilitate a transition to year-round occupancy. The proposed design has consideration for existing site conditions, avoiding unnecessary tree clearance and site alteration within 30m of the lake and occupying a similar building footprint. It is the opinion of Planning Staff, that the application is desirable for the appropriate development of the subject property. The proposed enlarged dwelling is not anticipated to result in any negative or intrusive impacts on surrounding properties or the lake. Any potential intrusion would be mitigated by existing tree coverage along the shoreline and side yard. It is the opinion of Planning Staff, that the application is unlikely to result in undue adverse impacts on surrounding properties of the neighbourhood. Planning Staff recommend that a development agreement be registered on the title of the subject property as a condition of approval. The development agreement will address matters related to erosion control, runoff management and the maintenance of a healthy shoreline buffer. This will ensure that appropriate shoreline development practices are being implemented to not impact the environmental quality of Burridge Lake. Conclusion It is the opinion of staff that it is appropriate for the Committee of Adjustment to grant permission to expand the legal non-conforming dwelling on the property, as described in this report. Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 10 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given: • • • •

by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies by posting on the Townships current planning applications webpage

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2025-0004

Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, approve application PL-ZNA-2025-0004 for 70C Palmer Lane, subject to the following conditions.

The dwelling may be enlarged by a 28sqm addition along the southeast corner, a 49sqm loft addition above a portion of the main floor, and a 10sqm screened porch over a portion of the existing deck. The enlarged dwelling is permitted to have a building height of 7.1m and to encroach no further towards the highwater mark of Burridge Lake. The location of the proposed additions shall be generally consistent with the submitted plot plan (UP Architecture, January 8, 2025) and building plans (UP Architecture, January 8, 2025) that will be attached to the Decision as Schedule “A”.
The Owner is required to enter into a Development Agreement to be registered on the title of the property to the satisfaction of the Township to address the following matters and environmental standards of the Township: a. Appropriate erosion control measures (e.g. silt fence, straw bales) must be used during construction and until the site is stable and revegetated. b. Roof runoff will be directed away from Burridge Lake and discharged to natural or constructed leaching pits/areas to maximize infiltration or onto coarse rock rubble splash pads to reduce the velocity of runoff. c. A natural vegetated buffer must be maintained in its natural state within 30 metres of Burridge Lake, except in the immediate area of the building envelope.
A building permit is required for ALL proposed demolition and construction on the property. There shall be no additional development on the property without the approval from the Township of South Frontenac.

The severed parcel for application 2024-0001 is approximately 1.3ha in area with 80m of frontage on Lakefield Drive. The severed parcel for application 20240002 is approximately 1 ha in area with 100m of frontage on Lakefield Drive. The retained land is approximately 34ha in area with frontage on Lakefield Drive, Linea Drive and Collins Lake. b) PL-BDJ-2024-0032 – Loughborough District This undisputed consent was granted provisional consent on December 19, 2024. The subject lands of 984 Leland Road is comprised of two lots that inadvertently merged on title. The application is requesting consent to create a new rural residential lot which would have the effect of separating the merged parcels. The severed parcel, which is vacant, is approximately 76ha in area with 480m of frontage on Leland Road. The retained lot is developed with a dwelling and accessory buildings and is approximately 40ha in area with 100m of frontage on Leland Road and 150m of frontage on Dean Smith Road. c) PL-BDJ-2023-0001 & PL-BDJ-2023-0002 – Storrington District These undisputed consents were granted provisional consent on January 28, 2025.
