New Consent Applications:
a)
PL-BDJ-2024-0105 (Fanning) - Bedford District
Carried
Property Address: 184 Burridge Lake Road Purpose & Effect of the Application: The application is requesting consent to create a new rural residential lot. The severed parcel is approximately 1.3ha in area with approximately 105m of frontage on Burridge Lake Road. The severed lands are currently vacant. The retained lot will be approximately 74ha in area with approximately 250m of frontage on Burridge Lake Road 220m of frontage on Burridge Lake. The retained lands are developed with a dwelling, a barn, and accessory structures. The property is primarily designated Rural in the Township Official Plan and zoned Rural in the Township Zoning Bylaw with some areas on the retained lands being designated and zoned Environmental protection. Christine Woods, Manager of Planning, delivered her report to the Committee with a staff recommendation that the application be denied, due to inadequate sightlines and unsafe access. Steve Pegrum, Chair of the Committee, asked if the applicant or agent would like to address the Committee.
Page 4 of 68
Minutes of Committee Of Adjustment February, 13, 2025 Kaylie Fanning, applicant, thanked the Planning Department and the Committee for considering the application, and stated that it has been a lifelong dream to be able to sever and build on a piece of her grandparents property. With respect to the suitability of the existing driveway, Ms. Fanning stated that the driveway has existed for over 37 years, and that traffic usually travels at a reduced speed of 40km/hr due to road conditions. Ms. Fanning stated that both the school bus and the users of a nearby boat launch regularly use the existing driveway to turn around, which is evidence of the laneway having safe sightlines for the speed of traffic. She stated that very few, if any, of the existing entrances on Burridge lake Road would meet the current sightline standards of 120m. She concluded that Burridge Lake Road is a dead-end road, which results in no through traffic, and that the driveway she would be sharing would be with a family member. Mr. Pegrum inquired as to whether there were any members of the public who wished to address the Committee. Victoria Capes, neighboring resident, stated that she lives along Burridge Road and shares a driveway with another member of Ms. Fanning’s family, setting a precedent for shared laneway usage in the area. Ms. Capes stated that her existing driveway has far less visibility than the driveway Ms. Fanning is proposing to use, and expressed her support for Ms. Fanning’s application. Ms. Capes suggested that the municipality perform a traffic study, which she believes would illustrate the limited amount of traffic on the road, as well as the slow rate at which these vehicles travel. Mr. Pegrum inquired as to whether there were any other members of the public who wished to address the Committee. Sheldon Polanski neighbouring resident at 137 Burridge Lake Road (participating via Zoom), stated that he had no objection to the application, but that he would like to know where the delineation line would be between his property and the newly severed lands. He requested to be able to receive a copy of the survey of the severed lands once it is completed. Mr. Polanki stated that he was surprised to learn that this portion of Burridge Lake Road was not owned by the municipality. He also stated that there is a right-of-way with respect to the boat launch in the area, and that during the fishing season many people do use Burridge lake Road and park their vehicles along the roadway. Ms. Woods responded to Ms. Caves comments by stating that the existing properties and driveways to which Ms. Caves was referring have been in existence for a long time, and that today’s standards would not have been applicable at the time these properties were created. With respect to Mr. Polanski’s question on the property boundaries, Ms. Woods stated that whenever a consent application is approved, one of the conditions of approval is that a reference plan of the newly severed property be prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor, which would then be accessible through the Ontario Land Registry. The surveyors will install iron bars, flags, etc, which will help to delineate the severed parcel from Mr. Polansky’s property.
Page 5 of 68
Minutes of Committee Of Adjustment February, 13, 2025 With respect to the status of the road, Ms. Woods stated that Burridge Lake Road is a forced road, and that often times the existing roadways, due to topography and natural features, are unable to fall within the bounds of the municipally-owned road allowances. In the case of Burridge Lake Road, it is still considered a municipal road and is maintained by the Township, however the title is not in the name of the municipality. As such, one of the conditions of approval of the application would be that the title of the road be transferred to the municipality. Ms. Woods thanked Mr. Polansky for bringing attention to the occurrence of boat launch traffic and parking. Mr. Pegrum asked if there were any questions from Committee members regarding the application. Committee member Ray Leonard inquired as to what speed limit was considered when determining the sightline measurements. Ms. Woods stated that she is not an expert in these policies as they are the responsibility of the Public Services department, but she believed it was typically 80 km/hr, but suggested that Mr. Leonard may have more insight due to his time as the Roads Superintendent. Mr. Leonard replied that unmarked roads are 80km/hr, but with this particular roadway he would not want to drive over 30 km/hr. As such, the sightline requirements don’t make sense for this location, especially given that the school bus turns around in this laneway. Mr. Pegrum inquired as to whether there were any other questions form Committee members. None heard. Kate Kaestner, Planning Clerk & Secretary Treasurer, read the resolution for denial of the application. Mr. Pegrum inquired as to whether there were any comments from Committee members. Committee member Alan Revill stated that he did not support the resolution as it stands. He has driven the road many times in the past and believes that the sightlines of the laneway are more than adequate for the speed that is able to be accommodated by the road. Resolution for denial of the application was defeated. Committee member Revill put forth a motion to approve the application with the various conditions that have been discussed. Ms. Woods presented the details of the conditions that would accompany the application, should it be approved. The applicants did not raise any questions or concerns regarding the conditions. Mr. Revill sought clarification for the portion of the road that would need to be surveyed and transferred to the Township. Ms. Woods confirmed that it would be for the length of the subject lands up to Space Lane, with the exception of some smaller portions which are already owned by the municipality.
Page 6 of 68
Minutes of Committee Of Adjustment February, 13, 2025 Mr. Revill inquired as to what the cost of having this surveyed would be. Ms. Woods replied that she does not have a sense of the cost of having it surveyed. Mr. Revill expressed his concern for the survey costs that the applicant will have to bear. Scott Trueman, Committee member, sought clarification regarding where the various measurements in the conditions were derived. Ms. Woods provided clarification with respect to the width of the easement and road allowance. Mr. Trueman requested confirmation that the width of the road allowance was only for the purpose of the transferred property, and that the applicants would not be responsible for altering or widening the physical road to meet this measurement. Ms. Woods confirmed that to be the case. Committee member Norm Roberts as well sought confirmation that the applicant’s did not have to bear any expense with respect to the road, except for the survey costs. Ms. Woods confirmed that they would not be required to make any physical changes to the road itself, they just need to survey the road to transfer to the municipality. Mr. Trueman inquired as to whether the resolution needed to be altered to include the conditions that were discussed. Ms. Kaestner confirmed that nearly all applications that will be heard before the Committee will be subject to conditions, and the resolutions will always be worded to include this statement. Kevin Fox, Committee member, inquired as to whether the Committee needed to accept all of the conditions. Mr. Pegrum stated that he believed that to be the case. Mr. Revill stated he believed the applicant could appeal the conditions but that the Decision would include those recommended by Planning staff. Mr. Fox sought clarification regarding the condition for the driveway easement. Ms. Woods responded that the easement will be surveyed to be a certain width and that the driveway will be built within that width. Having the 4.5m width allows for the driveway to be expanded or for the applicant to maneuver around obstacles without the risk of trespassing. Ms. Kaestner read the resolution for approval of the application, subject to conditions. Resolution No. 2025-01-06 Moved by: Kevin Fox Seconded by: Norm Roberts THAT the Committee of Adjustment hereby denies application PL-BDJ-20240105, to create one new rural residential lot from lands municipally addressed as 184 Burridge Lake Road.

Minutes of Committee Of Adjustment February, 13, 2025 Resolution No. 2025-01-07 Moved by Alan Revill Seconded by Scott Trueman THAT the Committee of Adjustment hereby approves application PL-BDJ-20240105, for property municipally addressed as 184 Burridge Lake Road, permitting the creation of one new rural residential lot and one easement for shared entrance, the new lot being 1.3 hectares in area with 105m frontage on Burridge Lake Road, subject to conditions. Carried 9 Minor Variance / Permission Applications from a Previous Meetings: (if applicable) 10
New Minor Variance / Permission Applications:
a)
PL-ZNA-2025-0004 (Hollingsworth) (Cunha) - Bedford District Property Address: 70 Palmer Lane, Unit C Purpose & Effect of the Application: To request permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge the legal non-conforming dwelling within 30m of the highwater mark of Burridge Lake. The existing dwelling has an area of ~64sqm, a building height of 5.4m and is setback ~25.6m from the highwater mark. A 50sqm attached deck exists on the lakeside of the dwelling, setback ~22.6m from the highwater mark. The proposal seeks to construct a ~28sqm addition along the southwest corner (away from the shoreline), a 49sqm loft addition, and a ~10sqm covered porch over a portion of the existing deck. The enlarged dwelling would have a gross floor area of ~151sqm, a building height of 7.1m and would encroach no further towards the highwater mark. Noah Perron, Planner, delivered his report to the Committee with a staff recommendation that the application be approved, subject to conditions. Mr. Pegrum inquired as to whether the applicant or agent wished to address the Committee. Antonio Cunha, agent for the application (participating via Zoom), stated that the goal with the proposal was to modernize the dwelling to current standards and expand it to accommodate an aging family member. He stated that any new construction is to take place beyond the 30 metre waterfront setback, and that the proposal is modest and aims to improve the building’s overall condition. Mr. Pegrum inquired (3 times) as to whether there were any members of the public who wished to comment on the application. None heard. Mr. Pegrum inquired as to whether there were any questions from Committee members. Alan Revill sought clarification as to whether it was purely additions being added or whether the dwelling was to be demolished and rebuilt. Mr. Perron replied that the application stated that the proposal was for additions to the dwelling. Committee members were given another opportunity to ask questions. None heard.

Dear Ms. Woods: Re:
Application for Minor Variance PL-ZNA- 2025-0004 4938 Alex McLean Lane; Pt Lots 5&6, Concession 13, Part 1 Plan 13R15015 Loughborough District, Township of South Frontenac Waterbody: Loughborough 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 based on our role as commenting agency responsible for natural hazards on Planning Act applications, and as administrator of Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits. Proposal The proposed development involves the demolition of the existing dwelling, garage, and outhouse and the construction of a new dwelling with attached garage, and a detached garage. The variance required is to: reduce the required setback from the highwater mark from 30 m, as required by the Township of South Frontenac Zoning By-law. Site Description The subject lands are located along the shore of the east basin of Loughborough Lake in South Frontenac Township. Access to the property is provided by Alex McLean Lane. The subject lands are relatively flat with a low-lying treed area in the approximate center of the lands. There are clear grassy areas at the rear of the property and back from the shoreline. The shoreline is treed and slopes gently towards the water. The lands are developed with an existing dwelling, garage, outhouse, and septic system. Discussion Cataraqui Conservation’s scope of review for this proposal includes the avoidance of natural hazards (e.g. flooding and erosion) associated with the shoreline of Loughborough Lake. Natural Hazards / Ontario Regulation 41/24
Page 19 of 68
Page 2 of 3 Flooding: The regulatory floodplain of Loughborough Lake is defined as the maximum recorded water level of the lake (125.03 m GSC). Cataraqui Conservation’s Guidelines for Implementing Ontario Regulation 41/24 require that all new development be set back a minimum of 6 m from the regulatory floodplain of a waterbody. Based on our review, the floodplain extends into the center of the property resulting in a constrained lot. The existing dwelling is partially within the minimum 6 m setback of the floodplain and is not compliant with Cataraqui Conservation’s setback requirements for flooding. The proposed replacement dwelling is setback over 15 m from the extent of the floodplain and the attached garage is setback over 6 m. Accordingly, the proposed dwelling and attached garage will be located outside of Cataraqui Conservation’s required floodplain setbacks. A portion of the existing septic system filter bed is located within the floodplain. The proposed septic system was approved by KFL&A Public Health November 8, 2018. It is understood that no changes or enlargements are proposed to the existing septic system as part of this application. Erosion: Cataraqui Conservation directs development away from lands subject to long term erosion hazards. CRCA defines the extent of potential erosion hazards for till shorelines to be a stable slope allowance of 3(h):1(v) plus an erosion access allowance of 6 m. The shoreline slope is approximately 1 m high. The proposed dwelling is setback 17 m from the top of bank and as such, staff are satisfied with the proposal from an erosion hazard perspective. To ensure long-term erosion avoidance and slope stability, staff recommend the maintenance and enhancement of a healthy buffer of native vegetation between buildings/structures and the water, to help stabilize soils into the long-term. Runoff from buildings and structures and other hardened surfaces should also be directed away from the shoreline to a naturally vegetated location where infiltration can occur.
Recommendation Cataraqui Conservation staff have no objection to the proposed reduction from the high watermark setback. It is understood that no changes or enlargements are proposed to the existing septic system as part of this application. Staff recommend implementation of the above-noted best practice measures (in bold text) and advise the applicant that if the proposed development is approved, Cataraqui Conservation permit approval will be required. Ontario Regulation 41/24 Please note that lands within 15 m of the regulatory floodplain are subject to Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits, (formerly 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. If approved, construction of the new dwelling and attached garage will require Cataraqui Conservation permit approval. The landowner(s) should contact Cataraqui Conservation’s office at the building permit stage for more information regarding permitting requirements under O. Reg. 41/24.

Minor Variance Application (S. 45(1) of Planning Act) PL-ZNA-2023-0004, Vowles, 4938 Alex McLean Lane, Storrington District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of the subject application for zoning relief for a single detached dwelling, subject to conditions, as this application meets the four tests of a minor variance outlined in section 45(1) of the Planning Act. Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Limited Service Residential - Waterfront Property Description The subject property is accessed from Alex McLean Lane, which is located on a peninsula in the East Basin of Loughborough Lake. The property is 5605 square metres (1.4 acres) in size. It is long and narrow, and generally flat. There is shoreline to the south and to the east. A wetland and floodplain cuts into the centre of the property. This is illustrated on the application sketch. Proposal The applicant proposes to demolish the existing house and garage on the property and to construct a new house and detached garage. A new sewage system was installed a few years ago in anticipation of this project. The existing two-storey dwelling has an approximately 132 square metre (1425 square foot) footprint. It is located on the southern tip of the property, and is setback 4.5 metres from the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake at its closest point. The existing garage has an approximately 50 square metre (493 square foot) footprint. It is located in the southern half of the property, and is setback 20 metres from the highwater mark of the eastern shoreline. The new two-storey house with attached covered porch and attached garage would have a 325 square metre (3500 square foot) footprint. The house would be 26 metres from the www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
Page 22 of 68
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2023-0004
highwater mark to the south and 17m from the highwater mark to the east. A minor variance is being requested to allow the house to be setback less than the 30m from the highwater mark required by the Zoning By-law. A minor variance is also required to permit lot coverage of the house to exceed 5%. The new one-storey, 78 square metre (840 square foot) detached garage would be located at the north end of the property near the lane. The building would comply with all applicable zone provisions. Zoning Relief Requested Section 5.8.2(a) and 10.3.1 – to permit a single detached dwelling to be setback a minimum of 26 metres from the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake to the south and 17 metres from the highwater mark to the east, whereas a minimum 30 metre setback is required for all buildings and structures. Section 10.3.1 – to permit a maximum 5.8% lot coverage for the principal building (dwelling), whereas a maximum 5% is allowed. Related Applications This property has an approved minor variance (MV-022-03-S) for a 2,268 square foot, onestorey dwelling that could be setback 25.6 metres (84 feet) from the highwater mark to the south and 18 metres (59 feet) from the highwater mark to the east. Department and Agency Comments Cataraqui Conservation indicated in a letter dated February 28, 2025, that they have no objection to the application based on their consideration for natural hazard policies and as administrator of Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits. They noted that the proposed buildings will be located outside of, and setback from, the flooding hazard and shoreline erosion hazard associated with Loughborough Lake. The new dwelling with attached garage will require a permit under O. Reg. 41/24. Public Comments No comments were received prior to this report being finalized. Planning Analysis The proposal needs to be assessed against the four tests of a minor variance outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. It is the opinion of Planning staff that the proposal meets the four tests as explained below.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2023-0004
Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The proposed variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan related to waterfront residential development, and development adjacent to environmentally sensitive areas. The variances would facilitate construction of a dwelling on lands that are designated Rural in the Official Plan on Schedule A. The proposed dwelling would replace two existing buildings, one of which is only 4.5 metres from the highwater mark and is located in the shoreline erosion hazard. The proposed dwelling would be located in the area of the existing detached garage, outside of the flooding hazard and erosion hazard. The setbacks would be maximized as intended by section 5.2.7(b) of the Official Plan. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The proposed dwelling is a permitted use in the RLSW zone. The dwelling is designed to maximize the setbacks from the highwater mark, while maintaining adequate space between the building and the western property line for access around the building. Lot coverage for the dwelling would be 5.8%, which is slightly more than the 5% permitted in the RW zone. The additional lot coverage can be attributed to the narrow, covered porch on the building and the pass-thru connection between the dwelling and garage. The total lot coverage of all buildings would be 7.8%. The proposed variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Is the requested variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure in question? The requested variances are desirable for the appropriate development of the land. The design and location of the proposed dwelling on the property ensures that the required setback from the highwater mark would be maximized in two directions. The existing dwelling that is 4.5 metres from the lake will be removed, resulting in a positive change on the property. Is the variance minor? The requested variances are minor as they maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law and are desirable for the appropriate development of the land. The existing natural vegetation on the property, and particularly along the shoreline and western property line, should be maintained to help mitigate visual impacts when viewed from the lake and the property to the west. The buildings will be located in appropriate areas where there are no impacts anticipated on the subject or abutting properties.

Form
- Reason why you can’t comply: In other words, why can you not meet the required setbacks. It
—
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 ofthe zoning on your property and this can be determined when you come in for pre-consultation with planning staff.
Frontage, depth, area, acres: All parts of this question must be completed.
—
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. 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.
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.
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.

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. In 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: It you are planning to build ANYTHING on the property, the answerto 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.

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.
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.
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.
Minorvariance: 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 is a current application for severance or subdivision on the property, please indicate the ?le number. (Staff can help provide this information)
Application for consent: is there currently an application for consent (severance) being proposed for the property?
Drainage: Are there speci?c ditches that have been constructed to deal with drainage; is there natural drainage, etc.?
Septic: in most cases the answer willbe private sewage system, but there may be some privies.

Committee of Adjustment Township of South Frontenac 3910 Battersea Road Sunbury, ON K0H 1H0
Subject: Permission Application for 1125 James Wilson Road Dear Members of the Committee, We are submitting this letter in support of our Permission Application for the property located at 1125 James Wilson Road. The existing 142m² dwelling and its adjoining decks are currently situated within the 30-meter setback from the high-water mark of Canoe Lake and are classified as legal non-conforming under current zoning regulations. We are seeking permission/minor variance to allow the expansion of this legal non-conforming dwelling, including the addition of a second level and a screened-in porch/deck. The proposed improvements include the removal of the existing pergola on the deck and the construction of a screened-in porch on the west end of the house, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the home while creating a more cohesive design. Additionally, the second-level addition on the east end will provide expanded living space for our clients without significantly altering the home’s existing footprint. The proposed screened-in porch and deck will encroach only minimally closer to the highwater mark of Canoe Lake and will remain separated from the water by a substantial granite outcropping. Given the timing of this application, we have included site photos taken during warmer months to provide a clearer representation of the property’s conditions. These images illustrate the elevation of the existing home in relation to the water, as well as the granite ridges that serve as a natural buffer between the house and Canoe Lake. Additionally, a new septic system is being proposed to support the home’s expansion and to replace the aging existing system. The new system will be installed at a greater distance from the high-water mark than the current one, further improving environmental compliance.
Page 39 of 68
We wish to emphasize that our proposed addition complies with all other provisions of the current by-law applicable to the property – setbacks, building height, etc. The minor variance is solely required due to the location of the existing home within the 30-meter setback. We believe this request is reasonable and in keeping with the intent of the zoning by-law. We appreciate your time and consideration of our application and look forward to your favorable review. Should you require any additional information, we would be happy to provide further details or answer any questions the Committee may have. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Martin Mack President Concord Homes

Sent by E-mail Mr. Noah Perron, Planner Township of South Frontenac P.O. Box 100 Sydenham, Ontario K0H 2T0 Dear Mr. Perron: Re:
Application for Permission (S. 45(2)) PL-ZNA- 2025-0010 1125 James Wilson Rd; Pt Lot 6, Concession 5, Part 1 Plan 13R6090 Bedford, Township of South Frontenac Waterbody: Canoe Lake
Cataraqui Conservation staff have reviewed the above-noted application for permission and provide the following comments for the Committee of Adjustment’s consideration based on our role as the commenting agency responsible for natural hazards on Planning Act applications, and as administrator of Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits. Proposal The proposal involves the reconstruction and enlargement of an existing legal non-conforming residential dwelling and attached deck on the subject property. Permission is required to: • Reduce the required setback from the highwater mark from 30 m, as required by Section 5.8.2 a) of the South Frontenac Zoning By-law, to 19.17 m to permit the construction of the new building and attached deck. Site Description The subject lands are located along the southern shore of Canoe Lake in South Frontenac Township. Access to the property is provided by James Wilson Road. The subject lands are developed with an existing single detached dwelling, accessory structures, and dock. The shoreline is rocky and vegetated. The topography of the site varies. Discussion Cataraqui Conservation’s scope of review for this proposal includes the avoidance of natural hazards (e.g. flooding and erosion) associated with the Shoreline of Sydenham Lake. Natural Hazards / Ontario Regulation 41/24 Flooding: The maximum recorded water level for Canoe Lake is 142.15 m GSC. For Canoe Lake, the maximum recorded water level is used in lieu of an engineered flood plain. Cataraqui Conservation’s Guidelines for Implementing Ontario Regulation 41/24 require that all new
Page 56 of 68
Page 2 of 2 development be setback back a minimum of 6 m from the regulatory floodplain of a waterbody. Based on elevation mapping and the site plan submitted with the application, staff are satisfied that the proposed development will be located outside of the flooding hazard and applicable setback. Erosion: Cataraqui Conservation defines the extent of the potential erosion hazard to include an allowance for toe erosion, a stable slope allowance for bedrock of 1(v):1(h), plus an erosion access allowance of 6 m. Based on elevation mapping and the site plan provided, the proposed development is sufficiently setback from the erosion hazard. Therefore, staff have no concerns with the application from an erosion perspective. To ensure long-term erosion avoidance and slope stability, staff recommend the maintenance and enhancement of a healthy buffer of native vegetation between buildings/structures and the water, to help stabilize soils into the long-term. Runoff from buildings and structures and other hardened surfaces should also be directed away from the shoreline to a naturally vegetated location where infiltration can occur. Recommendation Cataraqui Conservation staff have no objection to the approval of application PLZNA 2025-0010 based on our consideration for natural hazard and regulatory policies. Staff recommend implementation of the above-noted best practice measures (in bold text) and advise the applicant that if the proposed development is approved, Cataraqui Conservation permit approval will be required. Ontario Regulation 41/24 Please note that development within 30 m of the shoreline on the subject lands is subject to Ontario Regulation 148/06: Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses, which is administered by the CRCA. The purpose of the regulation is to ensure that proposed changes (e.g. development and site alteration) to a property are not affected by natural hazards, such as flooding and erosion, and that the changes do not put other properties at greater risk from these hazards. If approved, the proposed development will require Cataraqui Conservation permit approval. The landowner(s) should contact Cataraqui Conservation’s office at the building permit stage for more information regarding permitting requirements under O. Reg. 41/24. Please inform this office of any decision made by the Committee with regard to these applications. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at 613-546-4228 ext. 239, or by e-mail at estucke@crca.ca Sincerely,
Emma Stucke, MCIP, RPP Resource Planner Cataraqui Conservation 2069 Battersea Rd, Glenburnie ON, K0H 1S0 • info@crca.ca • 613-546-4228 • CataraquiConservation.ca

Subject:
Permission Application (S. 45(2) of Planning Act) PL-ZNA-2025-0010, Widrow, 1125 James Wilson Road, 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 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 Canoe Lake. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act. Property Description The subject property is 2.7Ac (~10,900sqm) in area with frontage on the east shore of Canoe Lake. The property has no public road frontage but is accessed via a driveway off James Wilson Road, which extends east through two neighbouring properties. Existing development consists of a single dwelling with attached deck and two detached storage sheds. Except in the immediate area of existing development, the property features and abundance of mature tree and vegetation growth, including along portions of the shoreline area. The area of the existing dwelling is mostly flat, before sloping downwards towards the shoreline. To the west of the dwelling, topography slopes upwards slightly before sloping downwards towards the shoreline, forming a small ridge. The surrounding area consists of residential development.

Page 58 of 68
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2025-0010
Proposal The subject property is presently developed with a ~142sqm dwelling with ~130sqm attached deck. The applicants are proposing to renovate the existing main floor, removing ~40sqm (15.1ft by 28.3ft) portion of the dwelling on the non-waterfront side of the building and replacing it with a two-storey addition with 68.8sqm ground floor area (19.3ft by 38.3ft), or a gross floor area of 137.6sqm. The northwestern corner of the main floor is also to be squared off, adding approximately 3.2sqm (2.1ft by 16.5ft) of additional area. The applicants also proposed to reconfigure the existing attached deck, covering and screening in a 29sqm (310sqft) area on the waterside of the building. The reconfiguration of the attached deck would also reduce its overall footprint from approximately 130sqm to 120sqm. The proposal would increase gross floor area of the building to ~272sqm. The building height would increase from 7m to 10m. The existing setback of the dwelling (24.8m) and attached deck (19.1m) to the highwater mark would remain unchanged. Department and Agency Comments Cataraqui Conservation comments were not received at the time of writing this report. CRCA comments will be shared with the Committee at the public meeting. Building Services indicated that 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 not having frontage on a public road. 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 RLSW 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 24.8m from the highwater mark of Canoe 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 www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
Page 59 of 68
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report PL-ZNA-2025-0010
•
Whether the application will result in undue adverse impacts on surrounding properties and the neighbourhood.
The existing dwelling is presently setback 24.8m from the highwater mark of Canoe Lake with the attached deck being setback 19.1m. The current setback of the dwelling and attached deck to the highwater mark would remain unchanged. The existing setback of the dwelling (~13m) and deck (~7m) to the top of bank will also remain unchanged. The proposal consists of additional area being added to the main floor, a partial second storey being added, and a portion of the attached deck being covered and screened in. Additionally, the applicant proposes to reconstruct the existing deck mostly within its current envelope. The proposal would facilitate an increase in gross floor area from approximately 142sqm to 272sqm. The proposed reconstruction of the existing deck would reduce its overall footprint from 130sqm to 120sqm. However, the proposal would facilitate an increase in ground floor area from 272sqm to 294sqm (Lot coverage increase from 2.5% to 2.7%). As a result of the partial second storey, the building height of the existing dwelling would increase from 7m to 10m. The proposal would ultimately contribute additional living space to the existing dwelling. 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. 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 Canoe 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 www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Recommendation It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, approve application PL-ZNA-2025-0010 for 1125 James Wilson Road, subject to the following conditions:
- Permission is granted to enlarge the existing legal non-conforming dwelling. The enlarged dwelling is permitted to have a gross floor area of 272sqm and a building height of 10m. The enlarged dwelling and reconfigured attached deck are permitted to have a building footprint of 294sqm. The enlarged dwelling and reconfigured deck are permitted to establish the same setback from the highwater mark of Canoe Lake as the existing, 24.8m for the dwelling and 19.1m for the attached deck. The location of the enlarged dwelling and attached decks shall be consistent with the submitted plot plan (Drawing C-102, Groundwork Engineering, February 4, 2025) and building plans (1125 James Wilson Road Rev4, Concord Homes) 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 Canoe 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 Canoe 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.
