—
Nature and Extent of Relief: This question is asking what you are asking to do that requires the variance for example, it could be that you are asking to be 25 m rather than 30 m from the high water mark, or that you are asking to increase the height of a structure within 30 m of the high water mark, or that you are seeking a variance to construct an accessory building closer to the front lot line than the principal building.
Current zoning: You may not be aware of the zoning on your property and this can be determined when you come in for pre-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.

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. If this is not made clear to the Committee at the beginning of the process, you may find that, although you are granted permission to add on to your residence, you can’t actually do it because you have not made it clear that there is demolition involved.
Description of new construction: ALL proposed new development must be described here. If you are proposing to construct an addition to a dwelling, and to add a deck, please show this information in separate columns.
—
Proposed structures: If you are planning to build 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 sameas 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 onlyaccess water.

If you are a new owner, the seller willprobably have made you aware of this.
If yes: If there is a current application for severance or subdivision on the property, please indicate the file number. (Staff can help provide this information)
Application for consent: is there currently an application for consent (severance) being proposed for the property?

Dear Ms. Hannah: Re:
Application for Minor Variance MV-51-21-L (McKay / Snelgrove) Lot 23, Concession 14; Roll Number 102904004023160 Loughborough District, Township of South Frontenac Waterbody: Unevaluated Wetland
Cataraqui Conservation staff have reviewed the above-noted application for minor variance and provide the following comments for the Committee of Adjustment’s consideration. The property was visited by staff on April 8, 2022. Summary of the Proposal The proposal involves the construction of a deck on the subject property. The variance is requested to: • Reduce the required setback from the highwater mark (wetland) from 30 metres, as required by Section 5.8.2.a) of the South Frontenac Zoning By-law, to 26.5 metres in order to permit the construction of a deck. The deck is proposed to be built on the southern end of an existing structure. Site Description The property is located on the east side of Labelle Lake Lane, north of Big Clear Lake and south of Labelle Lake. The topography of the property can be described as being a high ridge of land that rises up quickly on both sides of a plateau table land area where the existing dwelling is located. The property is designated ‘Rural’ in the Official Plan and zoned ‘Limited Service Residential – Waterfront Zone’ (RLSW) in the implementing Zoning By-law. Big Clear Lake is designated as a moderately sensitive Lake Trout Lake in the Official Plan.

Ms. Hannah (MV-51-21-L) April 8, 2022 Discussion The main interests of Cataraqui Conservation with respect to this application are the protection of the unevaluated wetland natural heritage feature and its water quality. Natural Heritage / Water Quality Section 2.2 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) suggests that planning authorities should seek to protect, improve or restore the quality and quantity of water. Accordingly, the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for the Township of South Frontenac provide guidance with respect to how development should occur in consideration of protecting, improving and restoring water quality within the municipality. Similarly, Cataraqui Conservation’s Environmental Planning Policy (EPP, 2021) contains provisions that seek to support these objectives. Section 5.2.7 b)(i) of the Official Plan for South Frontenac Township suggests that a 30 metre setback from the high water mark is required to be maintained as a buffer in order to protect water quality. Similarly, Cataraqui Conservation’s Environmental Planning Policy recommends that new development and site alteration within 30 metres of a wetland should not generally be supported. However, Section 5.2.6 of the EPP suggests that a reduction in the 30 metre setback may be supported provided that there will be no negative impacts on the wetland or its ecological and hydrologic function, and the proposed development is in accordance with applicable requirements under Ontario Regulation 148/06. In this instance, the encroachment into the setback is minor (3.5 metres) and, in the opinion of staff, there will be no negative impacts to the ecological or hydrologic function of the wetland. Additionally, the development can be supported under Section 9.4.2.1 10) of the Guidelines for Implementing Ontario Regulation 148/06 which states that minor encroachments into the 30 metre wetland setback may be permitted provided that there is minimal disturbance to the soil mantle and existing vegetation and that the ecological and hydrologic function of the wetland is maintained. Recommendation Staff have no objection to the approval of application MV-51-21-L based on our consideration for natural hazards, natural heritage, and water quality and quantity protection policies. Ontario Regulation 148/06 Please note that a portion of the property is subject to Ontario Regulation 148/06: Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses, which is administered by Cataraqui Conservation. The purpose of the regulation is to ensure that proposed changes (e.g. development and site alteration) to a property are not affected by natural hazards, such as flooding and erosion, and that the changes do not put other properties at greater risk from these hazards, and to protect wetlands. Since the proposed development will be within 30 metres of an Page 2 of 3 Page 105 of 304

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: April 14, 2022 Minor Variance Application (S. 45(1) of Planning Act) Subject: MV-51-21-L, Doug and Romey McKay, 82 Labelle Lake Lane, Loughborough District
Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application for zoning relief for the addition of a deck to 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 Previous Public Hearing The Committee of Adjustment first heard this application on December 9, 2021. The Committee deferred making a decision on this application to provide time for agencies to review the proposal and to provide comment, and for Planning staff to consider those comments in making a recommendation to the Committee. Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Limited Service Residential – Waterfront – Special Provision (RLSW-81). The RLSW-81 zone requires the lot to have a minimum 213 metres of water frontage. Zoning Relief Requested Sections 5.8.2(a) and 10.3.1 Highwater Mark – to permit a deck attached to a single detached dwelling to be set back a minimum of 26 metres from the highwater mark of a wetland connected to Big Clear Lake, whereas a minimum 30 metre setback is required for all buildings and structures. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - MV-51-21-L, Doug and Romey McKay, 82 Labelle Lake Lane, Loughborough District
Discussion Property Description The 3.7 hectare property on Big Clear Lake is accessed from Labelle Lake Lane, which is off a series of private lanes from Frye Road. The lands consist of two high bedrock ridges that run parallel to the lake. The valley between the ridges contains a long, linear wetland that is connected to the lake at the north end of the property. The property abuts an unopened road allowance to the north. The lands north of the road allowance are part of Frontenac Provincial Park. The north end of the property is developed with a single detached dwelling. The 196 square metre dwelling is setback 31.6 metres from the highwater mark of the wetland. It is more than 20 metres from the road allowance. The dwelling was constructed over a bedrock ridge such that the centre of the dwelling is at grade on top of the ridge and the ends of the dwelling are elevated on either side of the ridge. Summary of Proposal The 2020 building permit for the dwelling included approximately 150 square metres of attached decking. This approved decking would have been setback a minimum of 30.1 metres from the wetland. The majority of the approved decking, which was intended to provide access to the centre access points of the dwelling, was not constructed because it was no longer needed due to the final grades around the dwelling. A 16.5 square metre (1.5 metre by 11 metre) portion of the decking was approved, through the building permit, to be constructed on the waterside of the single detached dwelling and setback a minimum of 30.1 metres from the wetland. The applicant now proposes to construct a 55 square metre (5 metre by 11 metre) deck on the waterside of the single detached dwelling. An application for minor variance was received to permit a 55 square metre deck that would be attached to the dwelling, to be setback a minimum of 26 metres from the highwater mark of the wetland. Agency Comments Cataraqui Conservation indicated in a letter dated April 8, 2022, that they have no objection to the approval of this application. They consider the proposed encroachment into the highwater mark setback to be minor, and do not foresee there will be negative impacts to the ecological or hydrologic function of the wetland. The subject property is in an area regulated by Cataraqui Conservation under O. Reg. 148/06. A permit under this regulation would be required for the proposed deck.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - MV-51-21-L, Doug and Romey McKay, 82 Labelle Lake Lane, Loughborough District
Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time of the writing of this report. Planning Analysis The proposal needs to be assessed against the four tests of a minor variance outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. It is the opinion of Planning staff that the proposal meets the four tests as explained below. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The subject lands are designated ‘Rural’ in the Official Plan on Schedule A. The type and amount of development on ‘Rural’ lands must maintain the rural character, natural heritage, and cultural landscape in the Township. The proposed deck would be connected to the permitted residential use of the property. Section 5.2.7(b) of the Official Plan requires buildings and structures to be setback a minimum of 30 metres from the highwater mark of lakes and rivers. Vegetation within this area should be disturbed as little as possible and the soil mantle is also not to be altered. The purpose of these measures is to minimize environmental and visual lake impacts by reducing phosphorus inputs, preventing erosion and by maintaining a natural appearance of shorelines. Section 5.7.7(ii)(e) requires limited service residential development to be designed to preserve as much as possible a site’s physical attributes, such as tree coverage, varying topography, scenic views, etc. for the benefit of future residents. The subject property was created subsequent to the approval of the Official Plan. As such, the dwelling was setback a minimum of 31.6 metres from the wetland that is connected to Big Clear Lake. The dwelling is located on a ridge more than 50 metres from the lake itself, and is visually screened from the lake by elevation, a second ridge, and an extensive natural vegetated/treed buffer. The dwelling is similarly screened from Labelle Lake to the west. The proposed deck, setback a minimum of 26 metres from the highwater mark of the wetland, would also be visually screened by the same physical features. The encroaching section of the deck would be a modest projection. It is the opinion of Township staff that the proposed variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan, specifically the policies on limited service residential development, and development within environmentally sensitive areas.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - MV-51-21-L, Doug and Romey McKay, 82 Labelle Lake Lane, Loughborough District
Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The proposed variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law as the proposed attached deck is a permitted use on the subject property, is within the maximum lot coverage permitted, and the proposed location complies with the setback requirements of the RLSW zone, with the exception of the reduced setback from the high water mark. Is the requested variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure in question? The variance is desirable for the appropriate development or use of the dwelling as it would facilitate a modest sized deck off a portion of the dwelling where there is a significant difference in elevation between the existing doors on that side of the building and the ground. Is the variance minor? The requested variance is minor as it maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is desirable for the appropriate development or use of the dwelling. The variance is not anticipated to cause adverse environmental or visual impact as the deck would be visually screened from the lake by distance, elevation, a second ridge, and an extensive natural vegetated/treed buffer. Nor would there be visual impact on neighbouring properties as the nearest residence is on the opposite side of the dwelling, at a lower elevation to the west. The deck would be designed to minimize impact on the environment (e.g. post supported, open underneath).
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 December 2021 Public Hearing. This included notice given:
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by posting on the Township’s Current Planning Application webpage by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies

- The names of all owners must appear in this section, even if they live in separate residences, and the address(es) should be the full mailing address, complete with postal code.
- You may wish to appoint someone to act on your behalf during the variance process. If so, that person’s name, address and phone number should appear here All owner’s must sign the authorization.
- Description of the Subject Land: a. District: The Districts are the same as the former Townships. If you are not sure, check the roll number (the long number beginning with 1029) on your tax bill. If the numbers are 010, 020 or 030, your district is Bedford; if the numbers are 040-050, your district is Loughborough; if the numbers are 060 or 070, your district is Storrington; and if the numbers are 080, your district is Portland. 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.
- Frontage, depth, area, acres: All parts of this question must be completed.
- Current zoning: You may not be aware of the zoning on your property and this can be determined when you come in for pre-consultation with planning staff.
- 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.
- Reason why you can’t comply: In other words, why can you not meet the required setbacks. It could be, for example, because you are seeking a variance to add on to an existing structure that is already too close to the water, or that developing further from the water would be impossible because of a steep embankment.
- Roads: Municipally maintained roads are looked after by the Township; private roads are lanes that residents maintain themselves (not private driveways, but lanes that provide access to your property and that are generally shared with others).
- Parking and Docking: This question is only relevant is you can only access your property by water. 10

TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC APPLICATION FOR MINOR VARIANCE Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 as amended
- Existing Uses: e.g. residential, retail business, vacant recreational land
- Buildings: If there are ANY buildings or structures on the property now, the answer to this question is “yes”.
- 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.
- Proposed Uses: Generally, the answer to this question will be the same as the answer to #10, but if, for example, the land is currently vacant, and you are planning to construct a dwelling, then the use to be described in section 10 would be “vacant recreational land”, and the use described in section 13 would be “residential”
- Proposed structures: If you are planning to build ANYTHING on the property, the answer to this question is “yes” – This includes additions, decks, garages, septic systems.
- Description of new construction: ALL proposed new development must be described here. If you are proposing to construct an addition to a dwelling, and to add a deck, please show this information in separate columns.
- Demolition: All demolition requires a permit from the building department. In some instances, a proposed addition or increase in height cannot be accomplished without the removal of existing walls. If this is not made clear to the Committee at the beginning of the process, you may find that, although you are granted permission to add on to your residence, you can’t actually do it because you have not made it clear that there is demolition involved.
- Raising of Structure: In other words, are you proposing to raise the building in order to construct a basement under it.
- Uses of Development: Please answer each part of this question. An increase in living space would include anything with walls – e.g. a screened porch would involve an increase in living space.
- Date land acquired: When did you take possession of the property?
- Date of existing buildings: If you are not sure, provide your best estimate.
- Length of existing uses: For example, has the land been used for residential purposes for 30 years, or 18 months?
- Water supply: in most cases the answer will be private well, but some waterfront properties take their water from a lake.
- Septic: in most cases the answer will be private sewage system, but there may be some privies.
11
Page 122 of 304
TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC APPLICATION FOR MINOR VARIANCE Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 as amended
- Drainage: Are there specific ditches that have been constructed to deal with drainage; is there natural drainage, etc.?
- Application for consent: Is there currently an application for consent (severance) being proposed for the property?
- If yes: If there is a current application for severance or subdivision on the property, please indicate the file number. (Staff can help provide this information)
- Minor variance: Has there ever been a minor variance granted on the property? If you are longtime owner of the property, you will probably be aware of any other special permission granted for a variance to the zoning by-law. If you are a new owner, the seller will probably have made you aware of this.
- If yes: If there has been a previous variance granted on the property, please indicate the application number if known, and what the details of the variance were.
- SKETCH: We cannot stress enough the importance of a detailed, accurate, and complete sketch. You do not necessarily need to contract with a professional to draw the sketch, but sketches that are not drawn to scale, do not show dimensions and distances, or are not drawn neatly (PLEASE USE A RULER), will not be accepted.
- Agreement to Indemnify: Must be signed in front of a commissioner of oaths – you may have this done before submitting the application, or sign the application in front of staff who can sign as commissioners. All owners must sign the application, or it can be signed by an agent if one has been appointed.

March 10, 2022 Ms. Christine Woods Senior Planner Development Services (Building and Planning) Township of South Frontenac Via Email: cwoods@southfrontenac.net RE:
92 Kismet Lane Minor Variance Application
Dear Ms. Woods, Fotenn Planning + Design has been retained by the property owners of 92 Kismet Lane, Margaret and Jay Wirsig, to prepare this planning justification letter in support of an application for minor variance. This report provides the planning rationale in support of the application, the purpose of which is to allow for the adaptive reuse of the existing cottage on the subject site to accommodate a home industry and permit a new single detached dwelling. A minor variance application is required to address non-compliance resulting from the proposed development and conversion of the existing cottage with respect to property line setbacks and building orientation of accessory structures. The subject property is designated Rural on Schedule A – Land Use Plan of the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan and zoned Rural (RU) Zone in the Township of South Frontenac Zoning By-law 2003-75.
Site Description + Surrounding Context The subject site is located in the Township of South Frontenac (the township) and is accessed by Kismet Lane, a private lane; and has approximately 220 +/- metres of frontage on Perth Road (County Road 10). The property also contains approximately 79 metres for shoreline frontage on Buck Lake and is approximately 7.6 hectares in size. The property is currently developed with a bunkie, garage, and cottage which is proposed to be converted to accommodate a home industry. In addition to the current development on the subject site, a new single detached dwelling is proposed and building permits from the township are being pursued. Lands adjacent to the subject site along Kismet Lane and Perth Road are predominately residential uses which vary in size.

Development Proposal The application seeks to change the use of the existing cottage from being the principal dwelling to a home industry. This change of use will work in concert with a building permit application to establish a new single detached dwelling. The business intending to operate on the subject site is KayaArm. KayaArm is a patented Kayak Stabilization device that allows one to enter/exit their Kayak safely. The company is an E-commerce business where individual components are machined and welded at a local fabrication shop and packaged at the home industry site. The primary operations to be performed on the subject site include internet sales, telephone and internet customer support, bookkeeping and final packaging assembly & quality assurance activities. The nature of the business use is not anticipated to result in traffic impacts related to shipping and deliveries. In addition, given the product is preassembled and the primary tasks are related to sales, support, bookkeeping, and final packaging there is not expected to be noxious affects (e.g., noise or odors) for adjacent properties.

Regulatory Review Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), 2020 The 2020 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides high-level land use policy direction on matters of provincial interest as they relate to land use planning in Ontario municipalities. Decisions of municipal councils must be consistent with the PPS, which provides direction for issues such as the efficient use of land and infrastructure, the protection of natural and cultural heritage resources, maintaining a housing stock that appropriately addresses the demographic and economic diversity of households, and preserving natural resources for their future use. In relation to the proposed consent, the 2020 PPS includes the following considerations: Section 1.1.1 Healthy, liveable and safe communities are sustained by: a) Promoting efficient development and land use patterns which sustain the financial well-being of the Province and municipalities over the long term. The proposal will allow the for the adaptive reuse of an existing cottage to contain a home industry. The retention of a local business contributes to efficient development and land use patterns by utilizing an existing serviced building to accommodate the proposed use. c) Avoiding development and land use patterns which may cause environmental or public health and safety concerns. The property is located on rural lands with no known natural or human-made hazards. There is an existing entrance which will permit access to the home industry and new primary dwelling.

e) Promoting the integration of land use planning, growth management, transit-supportive development, intensification and infrastructure planning to achieve cost-effective development patterns, optimization of transit investments, and standards to minimize land consumption and servicing costs. The proposal will allow for the adaptive reuse of the existing cottage to a home industry after the new principal dwelling is constructed. The development will be serviced by private servicing. The site is located on rural lands, an area intended for residential and home occupation uses. Section 1.1.4.1 Healthy, integrated and viable rural areas should be supported by: a) Building upon rural character, and leveraging rural amenities and assets. The proposal will see the creation of a new home industry providing a financial benefit to the township through the retention of a local business and the adaptive reuse of an existing building. f)
Promoting diversification of the economic base and employment opportunities through goods and services, including value-added products and the sustainable management or use of resources. The proposal will promote diversification of the economic base through accommodating an E-Commerce home industry within the township. Section 1.1.5.2 On rural lands located in municipalities, permitted uses are: a) Home occupations and home industries. The proposal will see the creation of a new home industry in an existing privately serviced building. The home industry being E-Commerce is not expected to have any adverse traffic, noise, or odour impacts. 1.1.5.4 Development that is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels should be promoted. The proposal will be compatible with the existing rural landscape of the area. The home industry will utilize an existing privately serviced building consistent with the rural area. 1.1.5.7 Opportunities to support a diversified rural economy should be promoted by protecting agricultural and other resource-related uses and directing non-related development to areas where it will minimize constraints on these uses. The proposal diversifies the economy by accommodating a home industry which utilizes an existing serviced building. The subject site is not located near agricultural or other resource-related uses. Section 1.3.1 Planning authorities shall promote economic development and competitiveness by: a) Providing opportunities for a diversified economic base, including maintaining a range and choice of suitable sites for employment uses which support a wide range of economic activities and ancillary uses, and take into account the needs of existing and future businesses. The proposal provides the opportunity for a diversified economic base through supporting an E-Commerce home industry which supports the local employment base. Section 1.6.6.4 Where municipal sewage services and municipal water services or private communal sewage services and private communal water services are not available, planned or feasible, individual onsite sewage services and individual on-site water services may be used provided that site conditions are suitable for the long-term provision of such services with no negative impacts. In settlement areas, individual on-site sewage services and individual on-site water services may be used for infilling and minor rounding out of existing development. The development is currently serviced with private individual on-site services.

5 Section 1.7.1. Long-term economic prosperity should be supported by: a) Promoting opportunities for economic development and community investment-readiness. The proposal will see the establishment of a home industry not expected to pose any adverse affects on neighbouring property’s which will help diversify the economic base of the rural area. This proposal is consistent with the 2020 Provincial Policy Statement in that it is located on rural lands, will contribute to the economic development without adverse effects, and will not require any unwarranted expansion of municipal services.
Minor Variance A minor variance application is required to address the zoning compliance matters for the proposed home industry on the subject site. The site is zoned Rural (RU) Zone in the Township of South Frontenac Zoning By-law 2003-75. The proposed home industry and accessory structures will generally meet zoning requirements prescribed in the by-law with the exception of lot line setback, and the positioning of the home industry and additional accessory structures. This is primarily the result of utilizing the existing building stock through the redevelopment of the site. Description of Requested Variances In order to permit the proposed development, relief from the following provision is being requested:
- 5.24 (2) Accessory Buildings: Any accessory building which is not part of the main building shall be erected to the rear of the projected front or exterior side wall of the main building. Relief is required to permit accessory structures be in front of the front or exterior wall of the main building.
- 5.29 (10) Home Industry Lot Line Setback: The building containing a home industry shall be located no closer than 20 metres from any lot line. Relief is required to permit a home industry be located within 11 metres of the interior lot line.
- 5.29 (10) Location of Home Industry: Home Industry shall be located behind the dwelling on the lot. Relief is required to permit a home industry in front of the principal dwelling.
Four Tests The assessment of the proposed variance is undertaken following the tests as described in Section 45(2) of the Planning Act, as follows: Test #1: Is the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan maintained? Test #2: Is the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law maintained? Test #3: Is the variance minor? Test #4: Is the variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the lands in question? Test #1: Is the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan maintained? The Official Plan provides guidance for determining the desirability of a minor variance. The proposed relief is necessary to allow the proposed Home Industry. The following Official Plan policies are associated with the proposed Home Industry use:

6 Section 4.3 The Rural and Agricultural Goal of this Official Plan is to preserve the Township’s established rural character and agricultural industry: (a)(iv) To protect the established rural character of the Township from uncontrolled strip development. The proposal protects the rural character of the Township through the adaptive reuse of an existing building for a home industry. The proposal protects the rural character through the redevelopment of an existing lot of record. Section 5.7.4 It is the general intent of this Plan that the majority of permanent non-agricultural residential development be encouraged to locate in the Township’s Settlement Areas. However, limited non-agricultural residential development may also be permitted within the Rural area so as to provide a variety of living accommodation for the residents of the Township. Subdivisions and severances to permit new residential uses shall be appropriately separated from incompatible agricultural areas, existing and proposed waste disposal, mineral extraction site and resource areas, natural heritage features and areas and natural hazards (i) Permitted Uses: Rural residential development including group homes established in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.5, home occupations and home industries may be permitted in the form of single detached dwellings developed on lots created by plan of subdivision or severance by the Committee of Adjustment in accordance with the policies of this Plan The proposed home industry is permitted by the Official Plan. Section 5.7.4 (ii) (b) Rural residential development shall be serviced by private water and sanitary sewage disposal systems approved by the appropriate authority The proposal will involve the adaptive reuse of an existing development which is already serviced by private water and sanitary sewage disposal systems. The new residential development on the property will be serviced by private water and sanitary systems approved by the appropriate authority. Section 6.6 Home occupations, home industries, trades and professional uses may be permitted accessory to any residential use provided they are small scale and compatible with residential uses. Specific provisions relating to home occupations shall be included in the Zoning By-law. The proposal is seeking to accommodate a home industry which will see the adaptive reuse of the existing serviced cottage on the subject site. This cottage will be an accessory building to the principal dwelling once constructed. The home industry will be small in scale with its employees being the residents of the subject site. The existing structure is small, being less than half of the size of the new dwelling which is currently in the building permit phase. This home industry is expected to be compatible with the existing residential uses in the area as it does not require further development and is not expected to pose any adverse traffic, noise, or odour impacts. Section 6.9 In order to reduce or eliminate the adverse effects of one land use upon another or overcome the conflicts between land uses, the Township will require buffering to be provided. A buffer may be defined as any space or feature placed between two conflicting uses in order to reduce or eliminate conflicts. A buffer may be open space where distance is relied upon to produce the desired results, or it may be a berm, wall, fence, planting strip or land use different from the two conflicting ones but compatible with both, or any combination sufficient to achieve the intended purpose. Buffering provisions will generally be implemented through site plan control and through provisions in the Zoning By-law The proposal is sufficiently buffered by separation and vegetation from the surrounding land uses. In addition, as the proposed home industry activities relate to sales, customer support, bookkeeping, and final packaging there is not expected to be any adverse affects on adjacent land uses. Section 6.10.1 It is the intent of this plan that private on-site sanitary sewage disposal systems primarily consist of septic tanks and leaching beds/tile fields. However, consideration may be given to the use of other proven systems subject to the approval of the Ministry of the Environment and Council.

7 The proposal will utilize an existing building through adaptive reuse on the subject site which is already serviced by a private on-site sanitary sewage disposal system. Based on this review, it is our professional opinion that the proposed variance maintains the general purpose and intent of the Official Plan. Test #2: Is the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law maintained? The site is zone Rural (RU) Zone in the Township of South Frontenac Zoning By-law 2003-75. The existing cottage on the subject site is to be converted to a home industry following the construction of the new principal dwelling. The following table outlines the necessary variance required to permit the proposed development. Provision Requirement Rural (RU) Zone – Section 7 Permitted uses • A single detached dwelling • Accessory building or uses to permitted uses of the zone • A home industry (in accordance with section 5.29 of this by-law) Lot Coverage 20% (max) Rear Yard (min) for 3 metres accessory buildings Interior Side Yard 3 metres (min) for accessory buildings Building height 6m (max) for accessory buildings Setback from 30 m Highwater Mark (min) General Provisions – Section 5 Setback from 5m Private Lane (5.6.1) Accessory 5 % (max) Buildings – Lot Coverage (5.24.1) The lot coverage of all accessory dwellings shall not exceed the lot coverage of the existing principal dwelling Accessory Buildings - Location (5.24.2)

Accessory Dwelling Location The relief requested is to permit two accessory structures (e.g., a bunkie and a garage) to be located in front of the main building. The requested relief will accommodate the retention of existing building stock through the redevelopment of the site which are compatible for the site and rural area. Home Industry Setback The home industry setback is proposed to be reduced from 20 metres from a property line to 11 metres This reduction is a product of the utilization of the former principal dwelling on the subject site. The requested relief from this setback is reasonable given the proposed home industry has significant buffering in the form of separation and vegetation, will result in the adaptive reuse of an existing building on the subject site, and the day-to-day operations of the home industry are not expected to create any adverse affects (e.g., traffic, noise, odors) for adjacent land uses. Home Industry Location The home industry is proposed to be in front of the dwelling rather than behind it. Relief for the location of the home industry in front of the proposed new dwelling is required to recognize the location of the existing cottage to be utilized for the home industry.
Based on this review, it is our professional opinion that the proposed variance maintains the general purpose and intent of the zoning by-law.

10 Test #3: Is the variance minor? The assessment of whether a proposed variance is minor is not a mathematical calculation. Rather, the test is intended to assess the degree of any impact resulting from the proposed variance. The requested variance would be limited to the site, limiting the scope of any impacts, in addition to being sufficiently buffered through separation and vegetation. The proposed home industry will promote local economic development and given the proposed home industry is primarily related to sales, support, bookkeeping, and final packaging there is not expected to be any adverse affects on adjacent land uses. Based on this review, it is our professional opinion that the proposed variance is minor in nature.
Test #4: Is the variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the lands in question? The proposal seeks to establish a home industry through utilization and adaptive reuse of the existing serviced cottage in accordance with the Official Plan’s goals regarding rural development. The proposed home industry is appropriate and desirable on the subject site as it will provide financial benefit without impacting the rural character of the Township. The proposal retains a local business on a lot that is sufficiently buffered through separation and vegetation from abutting land uses and is sized appropriately to accommodate the proposed use. The relief requested through the application will result in desirable development outcomes for the township which produce no adverse impacts on adjacent properties. Based on this review, it is our professional opinion that the variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the site in question.
Conclusion The applicant is seeking approval from the Township of South Frontenac to allow for the existing cottage to be converted to a home industry and permit accessory structures to be located in front of the main building. The proposal consists of an application for a minor variance to address zoning compliance issues noted in this report. The application will allow for the creation of a home industry through the adaptive reuse of an existing serviced building which will help grow the rural economy. The minor variance application maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and zoning by-law, is minor in nature, and is desirable for the appropriate development of the site. It is our opinion that the proposed application for minor variance is appropriate for the property in question and represents good land use planning.

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: April 14, 2022 Minor Variance Application (S.45(1) of the Planning Act) Subject: PL-ZNA-2022-0008, Jay and Margaret Wirsig, 102904004003200, Kismet Lane, Loughborough District
Summary The subject application seeks zoning relief to permit a home industry in an existing building, and to permit the home industry building, a detached garage and a sleeping cabin in the front yard of a dwelling. This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application subject to conditions, as this application meets the four tests of a minor variance outlined in section 45(1) of Planning Act.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Rural (RU) Zoning Relief Requested Section 5.29.10 – to permit a home industry (an E-commerce business) in an existing building that is setback 11 metres from the northern interior side lot line, whereas 20 metres is required. Section 5.24.2 – to permit three accessory buildings (the home industry building, a detached garage and a sleeping cabin) to be located in front of the projected front wall of the dwelling whereas the Zoning By-law requires an accessory building to be erected to the rear of the projected front or exterior side wall of the main building. Related Applications The subject property is not subject to any other applications under the Planning Act.

Discussion/Analysis Property Description The 7.6 hectare (18.8 acre) property is located on Perth Road along the southern shoreline of the North Basin of Buck Lake. The property abuts an unopened road allowance to the north. The topography consists of a series of bedrock ridges and valleys from the shoreline to Perth Road. Some of the valleys contain seasonal ponds. The property is accessed from Kismet Lane. The property is developed with a cottage, a detached garage, a sleeping cabin and several small sheds and structures. The cottage and garage are close to a seasonal pond and watercourse. The sleeping cabin is near the edge of a ridge. There is a sewage system approximately 30 metres from the highwater mark of the lake. According to the application, the approximate floor area of the cottage is 816 square feet, of the garage is 1,375 square feet and of the sleeping cabin is 100 square feet. All the buildings are setback more than 360 metres from Perth Road and more than 60 metres from Buck Lake. According to the application, there is a septic tank near the cottage. Summary of Proposal The owners propose to construct a new single detached dwelling that would be compliant with all applicable zoning provisions, including being 31 metres from the highwater mark and a minimum of 15 metres from the top of bank. The placement of the new dwelling will result in the existing buildings being in the front yard of the dwelling (i.e. between the dwelling and Perth Road). The owners propose to convert the existing cottage into an accessory building for a home industry. The home industry is an E-commerce business, KayaArm. The primary operations to be performed on the site are internet sales, internet and telephone customer support, bookkeeping, and final packaging, assembly and quality assurance activities. An application for minor variance was received to permit the home industry in a building that is less than 20 metres from the property line, and to permit three accessory buildings (the home industry building, the detached garage and the sleeping cabin) to be located in front of the projected front wall of the new dwelling.

Department and Agency Comments Public Services did not provide comments on the application as the property is accessed from a private lane. Building Services confirmed that no building permits had been issued for the existing cottage, garage, sleeping cabin and septic tank, all of which have been constructed since 2006. The Owners will be required to apply for, and obtain building permits, for all existing and proposed buildings and structures on the property. KFL&A Public Health issued a permit for the sewage system that is setback approximately 30 metres from the highwater mark of the lake. Building Services will verify the capacity of this sewage system as part of their review of any building permit application for the proposed single detached dwelling, the proposed home industry, and the existing sleeping cabin. Cataraqui Conservation was not circulated the application since it relates to the use of existing buildings on the property. They confirmed that a permit under O. Reg. 148/06 will not be required for the proposed dwelling. Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time of the writing of this report. Planning Analysis The proposal needs to be assessed against the four tests of a minor variance outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. It is the opinion of Planning staff that the proposal meets or does not meet the four tests as explained below. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The proposed variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. The subject lands are designated Rural in the Official Plan on Schedule A. The proposed home industry and accessory buildings are uses associated with the permitted residential use of the property. Buck Lake is an at-capacity lake trout lake. The Official Plan permits a lot of record adjacent to this lake to be developed in accordance with the standard waterfront policies (i.e. minimum 30 metre setback from highwater mark of lake). The new dwelling and its existing sewage system would conform to this policy. The accessory buildings were constructed more than 60 metres from the lake. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Minor Variance Application (S.45(1) of the Planning Act) PL-ZNA-2022-0008, Jay and Margaret Wirsig, 102904004003200, Kismet Lane, Loughborough District
Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The proposed variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning Bylaw. The proposed home industry and accessory buildings are uses associated with the permitted residential use of the property. The placement of the new dwelling will result in the existing buildings being in the front yard of the dwelling (e.g. between the dwelling and Perth Road). However, these buildings are more than 60 metres from the highwater mark and more than 360 metres from Perth Road, which far exceed the setbacks required for the dwelling. A home industry is permitted in the Rural zone provided that it meets several conditions listed in section 5.29. The home industry would meet the majority of the conditions. For example, the property is more than 2 hectares in size, and the square foot of the building does not exceed 1,200 square feet. The home industry is not anticipated to have noxious affects (e.g. noise, odour, smoke) for adjacent properties and the lake because the product is preassembled (e.g. manufactured off-site) and the primary tasks are related to sales, support, bookkeeping and final packaging. The nature of the business is not anticipated to result in traffic impacts to Kismet Lane because shipping and deliveries would not be made to/from the property by couriers, and there would be no customer pickups. Section 5.29 requires the accessory building within which the home industry is located to be not closer than 20 metres from any lot line, and to be located behind the dwelling on the lot. The intent is to ensure physical separation between the home industry and sensitive adjacent uses such as other dwellings, and to ensure the home industry is not the focal point of a residential property. The existing cottage that would be converted to the home industry is setback 11 metres from the northern interior lot line. It is noted that the northern property line abuts an unopened road allowance, and the applicants own the property to the north of the road allowance. The nearest dwelling is 100 metres to the north. Also, the home industry will be more than 360 metres from Perth Road. 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 location of the accessory buildings between the new dwelling and Perth Road protects the environmentally sensitive lands between the dwelling and the lake. The buildings are visually screened from both the lake and the road by both distance and existing tree cover. They are similarly screened from adjacent properties. Converting the existing cottage for the home industry allows the adaptive reuse of this building.

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. They are not anticipated to impact the existing or planned functionality of the property and adjacent properties. Nor are they anticipated to cause adverse environmental, nuisance (noise, vibration, dust, etc.), or visual impacts.
Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 10 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given:
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by posting on the Township’s Current Planning Application webpage by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies

- The minor variance is to permit a home industry to be established in a building that is setback 11 metres from the northern interior lot line. The minor variance also permits three accessory buildings (i.e. the home industry building, the detached garage and the sleeping cabin) to be located in front of the projected front wall of the single detached dwelling.
- A building permit shall be obtained for the existing buildings on the subject property (i.e. the home industry building, the detached garage and the sleeping cabin) to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Official within one (1) year of obtaining this minor variance approval.

- Reason why you can’t comply: In other words, why can you not meet the required setbacks. It could be, for example, because you are seeking a variance to add on to an existing structure that is already too close to the water, or that developing further from the water would be impossible because of a steep embankment.
—
Nature and Extent of Relief: This question is asking what you are asking to do that requires the variance for example, it could be that you are asking to be 25 m rather than 30 m from the high water mark, or that you are asking to increase the height of a structure within 30 m of the high water mark, or that you are seeking a variance to construct an accessory building closer to the front lot line than the principal building.
Current zoning: You may not be aware of the zoning on your property and this can be determined when you come in for pre-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. Ifthe numbers are 010, 020 or 030, your district is Bedford; if the numbers are 040-O50, 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 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. 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. Ifso, 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.

- Length of existing uses: For example, has the land been used for residential purposes for 30
20)Date of existing buildings: It you are not sure, provide your best estimate.
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. If this is not made clear to the Committee at the beginning of the process, you may find that, although you are granted permission to add on to your residence, you can’t actually do it because you have not made it clear that there is demolition involved.
Description of new construction: ALL proposed new development must be described here. If you are proposing to construct an addition to a dwelling, and to add a deck, please show this information in separate columns.
—
Proposed structures: If you are planning to build 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

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.
Minor variance: Has there ever been a minor variance granted on the property? If you are longtime owner of the property, you will probably be aware of any other special permission granted for a variance to the zoning by-law. If you are a new owner, the seller will probably have made you aware of this.
If yes: If there is a current application for severance or subdivision on the property, please indicate the file 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 specific ditches that have been constructed to deal with drainage; is there natural drainage, etc.?

Dear Ms. Hannah: Re:
Application for Minor Variance PL-ZNA-2022-0021 (Barry) Part of Lot 8, Concession 11; 547 West Devil Lake Lane Bedford District, Township of South Frontenac Waterbody: Devil Lake
Cataraqui Conservation staff have reviewed the above-noted application for minor variance and provide the following comments for the Committee of Adjustment’s consideration. Summary of the Proposal The proposal involves increasing the pitch of a cottage roof by raising it approximately 1.8 metres in height. The variance is requested to: • Increase the height of a structure by approximately 1.8 metres, contrary to Section 5.10.2 of the South Frontenac Zoning By-law. Site Description The property is located on the north shore of Devil Lake. The topography of the property can be described as rising slowly from the shoreline toward the existing dwelling at approximately a 4 (horizontal) to 1 (vertical) slope. Currently, the property contains the cottage and a shed. The property is designated ‘Rural’ in the Official Plan and zoned ‘Limited Service Residential – Waterfront Zone’ (RLSW) in the implementing Zoning By-law. Devil Lake itself is designated as a moderately sensitive Lake Trout Lake in the Official Plan.

Discussion The main interests of Cataraqui Conservation with respect to this application are the avoidance of natural hazards (e.g. flooding and erosion) associated with the shoreline of Devil Lake, and the protection of the water quality of the lake. Natural Hazards Flooding: The maximum recorded water level for Devil Lake is 131.96 metres geodetic. For Devil Lake, the maximum recorded water level is used in lieu of an engineered flood plain. Cataraqui Conservation’s Guidelines for Implementing Ontario Regulation 148/06 (see description below) requires that all development be set back a minimum of 6 metres from the regulatory floodplain of a waterbody. Staff note that the existing structure is located within the 6 metre adjacent lands to the hazard (flood plain) and not within the flood plain hazard itself. Since the structure is already there, staff do not believe that the proposal will further restrict access to the flood plain, and thus not further aggravate the hazard. Erosion: Cataraqui Conservation defines the extent of potential erosion hazards to include an allowance for toe erosion, a stable slope allowance for bedrock shorelines of 3(h):1(v), plus an erosion access allowance of 6 metres. Based on an estimated 0.5 metre high slope, the total erosion hazard allowance is anticipated to be approximately 7.5 metres measured horizontally inland from the stable toe of slope at the shoreline. Staff note that the existing structure is located within the 6 metre adjacent lands to the hazard (stable slope allowance) and not within the stable slope hazard itself. Since the structure is already there, staff do not believe that the proposal will further restrict access to the slope, and thus not further aggravate the hazard. Staff have no concerns with the proposal from a natural hazard perspective. Water Quality Section 2.2 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) suggests that planning authorities should seek to protect, improve or restore the quality and quantity of water. Accordingly, the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for the Township of South Frontenac provide guidance with respect to how development should occur in consideration of protecting, improving and restoring water quality within the municipality. Similarly, Cataraqui Conservation’s Environmental Planning Policy (EPP, 2021) contains provisions that seek to support these objectives. The Planning Policy Cataraqui Conservation 1641 Perth Road, PO Box 160, Glenburnie ON, K0H 1S0 • info@crca.ca • 613-546-4228 • CataraquiConservation.ca

Page 3 of 4
recommends that new development and site alteration, including septic system tile fields and open or enclosed decks/patios attached to the main dwelling, be set back a minimum distance of 30 metres from the highwater mark of a waterbody. However, the Planning Policy also suggests that new development within the water setback may be considered when there are no reasonable alternatives for locating the development outside of the water setback area, the development is no closer to the water than existing buildings or structures on the property the development complies with the maximum lot coverage provisions of the Zoning By-law, and suitable methods to minimize negative impacts on water quality are incorporated into the development. The development proposal is in a reasonable location since the proposal simply involves raising a roof on an existing structure, the proposed development will not be closer to the water than existing development, and there will be no change to lot coverage. Due to the close proximity of the development to the shoreline of Devil Lake, staff recommend that roof runoff be directed away from the waterfront to protect the water quality of the lake. Recommendation Staff have no objection to the approval of application PL-ZNA-2022-0021 based on our consideration for natural hazards, natural heritage, and water quality and quantity protection policies. Ontario Regulation 148/06 Please note that the development is subject to Ontario Regulation 148/06: Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses, which is administered by Cataraqui Conservation. The purpose of the regulation is to ensure that proposed changes (e.g. development and site alteration) to a property are not affected by natural hazards, such as flooding and erosion, and that the changes do not put other properties at greater risk from these hazards. Within a regulated area, written permission must be obtained from Cataraqui Conservation prior to development taking place. Please inform this office of any decision made by the Committee with regard to this application. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at 613-546-4228 ext. 244, or by e-mail at aschmidt@crca.ca

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: April 14, 2022 Permission Application (S. 45(2) of the Planning Act) Subject: PL-ZNA-2022-0021 (Barry) – 547 West Devil Lake Lane, District of Bedford
Summary This application is requesting permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming building, by increasing its height, located within 30 metres of the highwater mark of Devil Lake. This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application for permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming building, per section 45(2) of the Planning Act, subject to conditions.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Limited Service Residential Waterfront - RLSW
Relief Requested The application seeks permission to enlarge a seasonal dwelling under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act, by increasing its height, within 30 metres of the highwater mark.
Discussion/Analysis Property Description The subject property is located at 547 West Devil Lake Lane and has an area of approximately 0.33 hectares (0.82 acres) and approximately 88 metres (289 feet) of water frontage on Devil Lake and 87 metres (287 feet) of frontage on West Devil Lake Lane. West Devil Lake Lane is accessed from Devil Lake Road. The property is in an area of similarly developed waterfront residential properties.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2022-0021 (Barry) – 547 West Devil Lake Lane, District of Bedford
The subject property is located on the peninsula near the end of West Devil Lake Lane. The property rises slowly over the depth of the property from Devil Lake to a relatively flat area. The area on the west side of the subject property is predominantly forested. The property is developed with a seasonal dwelling, a shed, and associated sewage system. There is an attached deck on the west side of the seasonal dwelling. The seasonal dwelling is setback 1.8 metres (6.5 feet) from the highwater mark on the property and 19 metres from the highwater mark on the north side of the lane. It is setback 13 metres (43 feet) from West Devil Lake Lane. It is located on the east side of the property. The seasonal dwelling has a height of 3.8 metres (12.5 feet) and is a single storey. The seasonal dwelling has a floor area of 65.4 square metres (704 square feet). The attached deck has a floor area of 11.9 square metres (128 square feet). The total floor area is 77.3 square metres (832 square feet). The shed is located to the north-west of the dwelling, closer to West Devil Lake Lane. The shed has a floor area of 9.2 square metres (100 square feet). The sewage system is located between the shed and the dwelling, to the west of the dwelling.
Summary of Proposal The proposal is to increase the height of the seasonal dwelling by 2 metres (7 feet) to a maximum height of 6 metres (19.5 feet). This proposal is being applied for to repair, renovate and strengthen the roof of the seasonal dwelling to a safe condition. The increase in roof pitch will provide a more structurally sound, resilient and durable roof. The applicants note on their application that no square footage is being added to the floor plan, all of the existing walls will remain in place and that only the roof will be removed and replaced with a proper 5/12 pitch. The applicants are seeking permission retroactively, as the building is under active renovation and the roof has already been replaced. It is the understanding of Planning Staff from communication with the applicant and the Chief Building Official that the roof repair was needed as it had sustained considerable damage over the two seasons the applicants were away during the pandemic travel restrictions. The CBO provided permission in the winter 2021 to finish putting the new steel roof on to protect against winter conditions. The applicants noted that they were not aware zoning permission was required to increase the height of the building as the intent was only to repair the structural integrity of the roof to a modern-day standard. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2022-0021 (Barry) – 547 West Devil Lake Lane, District of Bedford
Planning staff noted during a site visit that new doors have been installed that face and provide access to the lake. The applicants indicated that the doors were installed because windows that size were not available due to the pandemic and they will be installing a metal railing outside to prevent a fall. No deck is proposed outside the new doors.
Department and Agency Comments Building Services noted that they have no objections to the application. Building Services noted that when they came across the property and noticed that construction was happening, they left an inspection report advising the owners to obtain a building permit and that a minor variance would be required. The applicants are aware that they need to submit a building permit application whether or not the subject application is approved. Cataraqui Conservation provided comments on February 25, 2022 which indicate that Staff have no objection to the approval of the application. It was noted that for Devil Lake, a maximum recorded water level is used in lieu of an engineering flood plain. They note that the dwelling is located within the 6 metres setback from the floodplain and erosion hazards required under O. Reg. 148/06, but is not located within the flood plain or erosion hazard itself. It is their opinion that because the dwelling is already existing, the proposal to increase the height will not restrict access to the floodplain or slope and will not further aggravate the existing situation relative to natural hazards. Cataraqui Conservation Staff note that the development proposal is in a reasonable location since the proposal involves raising a roof on an existing structure. The proposed development will not be located any closer to the water than existing development and will not change lot coverage. They recommend that due to the close proximity of the development to the shoreline of Devil Lake, that roof run-off be directed away from the waterfront to protect the water quality of the lake. Cataraqui Conservation Staff confirmed that a permit under O. Reg. 148/06 is required for the renovation and increase in height. The applicant must initiate this application process prior to the building permit stage.
Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time of the writing of this report.
Planning Analysis The property is zoned RLSW, so the seasonal dwelling is a permitted use. The use of the property will not change as a result of this application. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2022-0021 (Barry) – 547 West Devil Lake Lane, District of Bedford
Section 5.10.2 of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 states that existing buildings with less than the minimum 30 metre setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody may be repaired, renovated or strengthened to a safe condition provided there is no enlargement of the gross floor area or increase in height. This provision prohibits the enlargement of these existing buildings, making them legal non-conforming. The existing dwelling is a legal nonconforming building because it was constructed in 1964 (according to the application), and because it is setback 1.8 metres and 19 metres from the highwater mark of Devil Lake. This application is seeking permission to increase the height of the existing dwelling from 3.8 metres (12.5 feet) to 6 metres (19.5 feet) in order to increase the pitch of the roof. In this situation, the Committee of Adjustment should consider whether to grant permission to enlarge the legal non-conforming building under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act. According to the applicants, the increase in the height of the seasonal dwelling is proposed to provide a roof structure capable of accepting a durable long-lasting aluminium roof and withstand winter conditions. To do this, the roof pitch must be increased to a minimum of 5/12 slope increasing the overall roof height. It will not result in an increase in floor area or living space. The 2 metre increase in building height will not have an adverse visual impact, such a loss of sunlight, privacy and views, on the properties to the west and east as they are separated by a forested area. The topography and shape of the shoreline also provides separation. The dwelling is setback far enough from the lane and due to the nature and curve in the lane, the dwelling is not the focus point relative to existing surrounding development. According to Cataraqui Conservation, although the dwelling is setback 1.8 metres (6.5 feet) from the highwater mark of Devil Lake it is located outside the floodplain and erosion hazards associated with the lake. The proposal is for an increase in height and which will not aggravate the existing situation created by the existing structure. The slope and angle of the roof will direct water away from the lake. Township Staff support the recommendation provided by the Conservation Authority that roof runoff be directed away from the lake to protect the water quality of the lake and soil erosion. Requiring a development agreement as a condition of approval will ensure that the proposed development is undertaken in accordance with the Township environmental standards, including how to manage roof runoff. The additional height is not expected to have an impact on the water quality of the lake. The increase in height will provide a roof structure that is more functional and structurally sound specifically when dealing with winter conditions and maintenance. This will provide for safer conditions on the subject property.

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—consu|tation 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 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.

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 orderto construct a basement under it.
Demolition: All demolition requires a permit from the building department. In some instances, a proposed addition or increase in height cannot be accomplished without the removal of existing walls. If this is not made clear to the Committee at the beginning of the process, you may 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: If 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”.
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.

The subject property is designated ‘Rural’ in the Township of South Frontenac Of?cial Plan. The Township’s Zoning By-law 2003-05 places the subject property in the Residential Limited Service Waterfront ‘RLSW’ Zone. The subject property is located in the west basin of Loughborough Lake, a waterbody identi?ed as a Highly Sensitive Lake Trout Lake.
The subject lands are municipally addressed as 4508 Red Maple Lane and are legally described as Lot 15 of Plan 1546 in the Geographic Township of Loughborough (herein referred to as the “subject property”). The subject property is developed with an existing dwelling, boathouse and detached garage.
This Planning Rationale is provided in support of an application for Minor Variance to permit the reconstruction of a single-detached dwelling and detached garage, as well as the replacement of an existing sewage system, on a waterfront parcel on Loughborough Lake. The application seeks variances to decrease the required waterbody setback from 30 metres to 17.6 metres for a principal building, reduce the required top of bank setback from 15 metres to 6 metres and increase the maximum lot coverage for a principal building from 8.4% to 9.5% (22.1 square metres).

Site Plan Planning Rationale Letter Concurrent Sewage Permit
2
The subject property has an area of approximately 0.47 acres (0.19 hectares) with approximately 31.70 metres of frontage on Loughborough Lake. The lot is approximately 70 metres deep and has 28.5 metres frontage on Red Maple Lane.
The subject property is an existing developed waterfront lot with a dwelling, boathouse and detached garage. lt fronts the west basin of Loughborough Lake, a section of the lake which has been identified as a Highly Sensitive Lake Trout Lake. The subject property is accessed by Red Maple Lane, a private lane maintained by the residents of the lane.
Site Overview
3.0 Site Characteristics
A site visit was conducted Friday, August 13, 2021 with the owner of the property, as well as Tess Gilchrist of lBl Group and Andrew Schmidt of Cataraqui Conservation. At the site visit, it was confirmed by Cataraqui Conservation that an Environmental Impact Assessment would not be required, nor a Slope Stability Study, given the characteristics of the nature of the existing shoreline and the exposed bedrock. Additionally, Cataraqui Conservation suggested that because the embankment’s bedrock is visible, a slope stability assessment was not required so long as the development achieves a setback of 6 m from the top of the bank; this is Cataraqui Conservation’s regulated setback for safe access (i.e. for construction equipment, etc.).

Uses
Proposed Development
Additionally, the owners intend to retain a professional landscape designer to advise on how to implement stormwater management best practices such as promoting infiltration and keeping
No changes are proposed to the existing boathouse or shoreline, and the existing frame staircase providing access to the waterfront is to remain.
The owners are also proposing to replace the existing Class IVsewage system. The new sewage system would be located between the garage and dwelling, fully respecting the 30-metre waterbody setback.
Additionally, the owners wish to reconstruct the existing detached garage to function properly for the storage of two vehicles. The existing driveway is currently located on the western side of the property, is very steep and directs storm water to the bank and ultimately the lake. The proposed site layout would remove the existing asphalt driveway and locate a new driveway along the eastern property line to provide direct access to the dwelling. The reconstructed detached garage would remain in generally the same location; however, it would be setback farther to achieve the required 5 metre setback from a private lane. The proposed garage also respects the required 3metre interior side yard setback. The detached garage and boathouse also comply with the maximum permitted 5% lot coverage for accessory buildings.
The owners purchased the property in 2010 and currently reside in the existing dwelling, however the foundation is failing and the basement leaks. The owners have also discovered a radon issue that a new build would remedy. The ownerswish to reconstruct the dwelling on generally the same footprint, with a deck on the northwest corner of the dwelling and a small increase of 22.1 square metres ?oor area on the non-waterfront side ofthe dwelling. The proposed dwelling and deck have been setback an additional 3.2 metres to respect a 6-metre top of bank access allowance setback. The proposed dwelling would exceed the 3-metre interior side yard setback requirement on both sides and also respects the 10 metre height limit.
4.0
Immediately north of the property is Loughborough Lake. East and west of the subject property are similarly sized waterfront parcels containing residential dwellings. South of the subject property are forested tracts and fields used for farming.
Surrounding
The subject property is sloped towards Loughborough Lake, with a signi?cant downward slope near the water’s edge, with an exposed rock embankment. A frame staircase provides access to the water’s edge, which has been reinforced with a sheet pile wall and backfilled. It is understood that the shoreline modifications were completed by a previous owner in the 1970s or 19805.

All lands within 90 metres (295 ft.) of the highwater mark of all lakes and rivers which are not designated Environmental Protection are included as Environmentally Sensitive Areas. Where development and site alterations are proposed in Environmentally Sensitive Areas, it is the intent of this Official Plan that all buildings, campsites and structures not related to the use of the water and all sewage disposal system leaching beds be well set back from the highwater mark. More specifically, a minimum setback of 30 metres (98.4 ft.) from the highwater mark shall apply but greater setbacks may be required depending on conditions specific to individual sites. Vegetation within the setback area should be disturbed as little as possible consistent with pedestrian passage, safety, provision of views and ventilation. When considering views and ventilation, it is intended that only selective, minor tree cutting and trimming occur. The soil mantle within the setback area should not be altered. These measures are intended to minimize environmental and visual lake impacts by reducing phosphorus inputs, preventing erosion and by maintaining a natural appearance of the shorelines. No commercial or clear-cut logging shall be permitted within 90 metres 0 the highwater mark of all lakes and rivers or on lands sloping towards lakes within the Township.

Understanding the existing physical constraints of the subject property, the proposed dwelling and sewage system have been located as far back as possible from the highwater mark.
Planning Comment: The residential dwelling currently on the property is within the 30-metre setback identified in Section 2.5.7.b. Due to the physical constraints of the subject property, the proposed new dwelling structure must be sited in generally the same location with an improved water setback to achieve the safe access allowance from top of bank. However, the new sewage system in its entirety will be located beyond the 30-metre setback. After a site visit with Cataraqui Conservation, it was determined that an Environmental Impact Assessment was not warranted because the shoreline will not be impacted by the proposal, and the new dwelling will be situated above it on a rock edge.

minor in nature?
Based on the above, the proposed variances are minor in nature.
The proposed sewage system achieves the 30 metre setback from the high water mark. The sewage system was laid out to make best use of the space available for wastewater treatment. The replacement of the sewage system will ensure that Loughborough Lake is protected from any potential risk of contaminated groundwater leeching.
The proposed reduction in the water setback for the dwelling and deck reconstruction represents a minor change to the existing conditions on the property. The existing dwelling and deck are setback 20.54 m from the water’s edge, 14.43 metre from the original high water mark, and are proposed to be reconstructed on generally the same footprint. The proposed increase in building footprint is modest in size and is not anticipated to have any adverse impacts as it is located on the non-waterfront side of the dwelling, farthest from the water which minimizes any potential negative impacts. The proposed additional ?oor area also fully complies with the side yard setback requirement of the RLSW zone, as well as the 30 metre setback. The modest increase to lot coverage, from the existing 8.4 % to 9.5%, is a result of the existing lot size, which was established by Plan of Subdivision in 1969.
The determination of whether an application is minor is not based on the degree of the variance requested, but rather on whether the impact of granting the request is minor. This includes how the variance could impact the existing or planned functionality of the subject lands and/or the surrounding lands.
is the variance
Sections 5.8.2a. and 10.3.1 of the Zoning By-law require a minimum waterbody setback of 30 m whereas a minimum water setback of 17.6 m is proposed for the reconstructed dwelling and deck. Section 5.8.2b. requires a minimum setback of 15 metres from top of bank whereas a setback of 6 metres is proposed to ensure a safe access allowance. A variance is also required to Section 10.3.1 to increase the permitted lot coverage for the principal building to 9.5%. It is noted that the requested waterbody and top of bank setbacks are an improvement to the existing dwelling and deck. The new sewage system is proposed outside the 30 m setback.

of the Official Plan?
maintain the general intent and purpose
of the Zoning By-law?
The proposed variances meet 10the intent of the Zoning By-law to ensure that buildings and structures are appropriately placed on a property. The subject property is an existing undersized lot. Due to its size and constraints, it is not possible to locate a building envelope fully outside of the required 30 metre setback from the water while preserving a large enough area for the sewage system and parking. Understanding the existing physical constraints of
Does the variance
As such, it is our opinion that the proposed variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Of?cial Plan.
The proposed variances meet the intent of the Official Plan to ensure that development is adequately set back from the water and that any disturbance to the shoreline is minimized. The proposed reconstructed dwelling and deck are located as far as possible from the water given the existing location of the dwelling, and no modifications to the shoreline are proposed. The proposed sewage system has been located based on recommendations by the engineer for most efficient and reliable layout. The proposed scale of development (single detached dwelling and detached garage) is considered limited low-density residential development and is the contemplated use for limited service residential lands. The proposed development is also anticipated to improve the property, as well as provide environmental benefits by replacing the sewage system.
Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose
Based on the above, we are of the opinion that the variances are desirable and appropriate.
The proposed reduction in the setbacks from the high water mark and top of bank and increase to lot coverage are appropriate given the low impact of the dwelling itself on Loughborough Lake, the modest increase to lot coverage proposed, and the proposed mitigation measures including a new sewage system and directing eavestroughs and driveway runoff away from the shoreline, which all minimize the potential impact of the proposed development.
groundwater leaching into Loughborough Lake. Additionally, it is not feasible to relocate the dwelling any farther back than the 3. 2 metres it has been pushed back, as the new sewage system will be located in the flat area where the former system was, and the remaining area will be used for vehicle access and parking with a more manageable slope than the existing driveway and parking area.

Application for Minor Variance PL-ZNA-2022-0025 (Jinapriya / Irrcher) Part Lot 13, Concession 2; 4508 Red Maple Lane Loughborough District, Township of South Frontenac Waterbody: Loughborough Lake (West Basin)
Cataraqui Conservation staff have reviewed the above-noted application for minor variance and provide the following comments for the Committee of Adjustment’s consideration. The site was visited by staff on August 13, 2021. The proposal involves the construction of a new dwelling on the subject property. The variance is requested to: • Reduce the required setback from the highwater mark from 30 metres, as required by Section 5.8.2.a) and Section 10.3.1 of the South Frontenac Zoning By-law, to 17.6 metres in order to permit the construction of new dwelling. • Reduce the required setback from the top of bank from 15 metres, as required by Section 5.8.2.b) of the Zoning By-law to 6 metres. • Increase lot coverage for the principal building from 8.4% to 9.5%. Section 10.3.1 of the Zoning By-law allows for 5% lot coverage for a principal building. Site Description The property is located on the north side of Red Maple Lane on the south shore of the west basin of Loughborough Lake. The topography of the site can be characterized as having a high steep bedrock slope at the shoreline that levels out into a table land area where the new dwelling is proposed to be constructed. Currently, the property contains a dwelling, a detached garage and a boathouse.

The property is currently designated as ‘Rural’ in the Official Plan and ‘Limited Service Residential – Waterfront Zone’ (RLSW) in the Zoning By-law for South Frontenac Township. The west basin of Loughborough Lake is designated as a Highly Sensitive Lake Trout Lake in the Official Plan. Discussion The main interests of Cataraqui Conservation in this proposal are the avoidance of natural hazards (e.g. flooding and erosion) associated with the shoreline of Loughborough Lake, and the protection of the water quality of the lake. Natural Hazards Flooding: The maximum recorded water level for Loughborough Lake is 125.1 metres geodetic. For Loughborough Lake, the maximum recorded water level is used in lieu of an engineered flood plain. Cataraqui Conservation’s Environmental Planning Policy (EPP, 2021) requires all development and site alteration to be setback a minimum of 6 metres from the regulatory flood plain of a waterbody. Based upon elevation mapping data and site observations, the development proposal complies with this policy. Erosion: Section 5.8.2.b) of the Zoning by-law requires that no building or structure or septic tank installation shall be located within 15 metre horizontal of the top of bank of any embankment, the slope of which is greater than 30% from horizontal. Due to the bedrock shoreline, Cataraqui Conservation defines the extent of potential erosion hazards to be 6 metres from the stable top of bank. Staff note that the proposed development will be located outside of the erosion hazard limit, and in the opinion of staff, a geo-technical study is not warranted. Water Quality The Official Plan recognizes the need to minimize lake impacts by reducing phosphorous inputs, preventing erosion and maintaining natural appearances. Accordingly, policies have been included that can vary the setback from the highwater mark from 30 to 90 m depending on the site characteristics such as steepness of slope, vegetation cover, soil depth and soil phosphorus retention. Section 5.2.7 (b)(ii)(3) of the Official Plan indicates that a reduction from the setback may only be considered if it is not physically possible or environmentally desirable to meet the 30 metre water setback requirement, and that there will be no negative impacts to fish habitat or water quality.

Page 3 of 4
Staff recognize that the existing residential dwelling is in non-compliance with the current zoning by-law for the Township of South Frontenac and is entirely situated within the required 30 m setback from the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake. In addition, there is limited opportunity to move the structure further away from the water as the site is constrained by the septic system and garage. Similarly to the Official Plan, Cataraqui Conservation’s Environmental Planning Policy considers new development within the 30 metre water setback area only if there are no reasonable alternatives for locating the development outside of the water setback area, the development is no closer to the water than existing buildings or structures on the property, and is set back as far as possible from the water in all directions, complies with the maximum lot coverage provisions of the Zoning By-law, and suitable methods to minimize negative impacts on water quality are incorporated into the development. The proposed development will be located further away from the water than existing development and is set back as far as possible from the water. However, staff are concerned with the proposed increase in the dwelling size which increases lot coverage to 9.5% for the principal building. In the opinion of staff, this increase in lot coverage is exacerbating an already undesirable situation which may be detrimental to water quality on a highly sensitive Lake Trout Lake, and therefore, staff do not support the application. Staff recommend that the Township consult with the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) regarding this matter. Recommendation Staff recommend deferral of application PL-ZNA-2022-0025 and encourage the Township to consult with MECP regarding the above-noted lot coverage issue. Ontario Regulation 148/06 Please note that a portion of the property is subject to Ontario Regulation 148/06: Development, Interference with Wetlands, and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses, which is administered by Cataraqui Conservation. The purpose of the regulation is to ensure that proposed changes (e.g. development and site alteration) to a property are not affected by natural hazards, such as flooding and erosion, and that the changes do not put other properties at greater risk from these hazards. Staff note that the proposed development will require a permit from Cataraqui Conservation prior to development taking place.

Discussion/Analysis Property Description The subject property is located at 4508 Red Maple Lane and has an area of approximately 0.19 hectares (0.47 acres) with frontage on Loughborough Lake. Red Maple Lane is located off Davidson Road. The subject property is located on the north side of Red Maple Lane, on the south shore of the west basin of Loughborough Lake. The property contains a single detached dwelling, a detached garage, and a boathouse. The property rises steeply from the shoreline of Loughborough Lake to a flat area where the existing dwelling is located. The property rises again gradually from the location of the existing dwelling towards the lane, where the existing garage is located. The area between the shoreline and the flat area consists of bedrock and is predominately forested. It is understood from conversations with the agent that the shoreline was altered. This created a flat area between where the lake exists today and where the lake existed when the property was originally created and the highwater mark was surveyed. The application references the surveyed highwater mark (original setback). The sketch reflects both the setback from the actual highwater mark and the surveyed highwater mark. All setbacks for this report have been taken from the actual highwater mark instead of the surveyed highwater mark to reflect the situation that exists on the property today. The existing dwelling is 2 storeys and has a walk-out basement. It has a height of 7.8 metres and a ground floor area of 161 square metres. It is setback 20.5 metres from the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake and 2.8 metres from the top of bank. The detached garage is 1.5 storeys and has a height of 4.5 metres. It is built into the slope of the property and has a workshop located below where the cars are parked. The detached garage has a ground floor area of 50.2 square metres and is located more than 30 metres from Loughborough Lake. The detached garage is located 7.71 metres from the western property line, 12.5 metres from the eastern property line and 4.86 metres from the rear property line being Red Maple Lane. There is an existing narrow driveway along the western property line that goes quite steeply from the garage to the dwelling. A sewage system is located to the rear of the dwelling, between the dwelling and the lane. The property is in an area of similarly developed residential waterfront properties.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2022-0025 (Jinapriya & Irrcher) (IBI Group) – 4508 Red Maple Lane, District of Loughborough
Summary of Proposal The applicants are proposing to demolish the existing single detached dwelling and build a new single-detached dwelling on the same general footprint. The new dwelling will be 2 storeys and have a walk-out basement. It will have a height of 8.7 metres and have a ground floor area of 183 square metres (1970 square feet). It will be setback a minimum of 23.7 metres to the highwater mark of Loughborough Lake and 6 metres from the top of bank. The floor area of the new dwelling will be 22.1 square metres larger than the existing dwelling. This will result in an increase of 1.1% for lot coverage of the principal building (from 8.4% to 9.5%). The new dwelling will be located 3.2 metres further from the highwater mark and from the top of bank than the existing dwelling. Variances are required for the highwater mark, front yard, top of bank and lot coverage. The applicants and their agent identified that the sewage system will need to be upgraded. The applicants and their agent consulted with a sewage system installer and have applied for a new class 4 sewage system to be located on the subject property. The new sewage system will be located more than 30 metres from the highwater mark, between the dwelling and the garage. To ensure the functionality of the site, the applicants are also proposing to re-construct the existing driveway and the existing detached garage. The new driveway will be located along the easternly property line. The existing detached garage will be demolished, and a new, slightly larger garage constructed that will achieve a minimum 5 metre setback from Red Maple Lane. It will be in compliance with side-yard and rear yard setbacks, height and lot coverage for accessory structures in the RLSW zone. No changes are proposed to the boathouse.
Department and Agency Comments Building Services (Sewage System Review) Building Services reviewed the proposed plans for the dwelling and the engineers site plan. They provided comments on March 11, 2022. The sewage system has been designed to accommodate the proposed dwelling and there appears to be sufficient space on the property to accommodate the sewage system within the required setbacks. The issuance of a permit will be dependent on a site inspection to verify the conditions of the soil and space provided. They have no objections to the approval of the application. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Cataraqui Conservation Cataraqui Conservation provided comments in a letter dated March 18, 2022. They noted that the proposed development will be located outside of the erosion hazard limit since the slope consists of stable bedrock. They noted that the proposed dwelling is setback as far as possible from the lake and will be located further from the water than existing development, however, they expressed concerns about lot coverage on the property. They also noted that the proposed development would require a permit from Cataraqui Conservation under O. Reg. 148/06 prior to the building permit stage. Cataraqui Conservation Staff recommend a deferral of the application to address lot coverage.
Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time of the writing of this report.
Planning Analysis The proposal needs to be assessed against the four tests of a minor variance outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. All four tests must be met for an application to be approved. It is the opinion of Planning staff that the proposal meets the four tests as explained below. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The subject property is designated Rural in the Township Official Plan. The proposed development is consistent with the permitted residential use of the property, is not expected to be subject to an erosion hazard, and maximizes the setback from Loughborough Lake. As a result of the upgrades to the proposed development, the applicants will also need to upgrade the sewage system. Upgrading the sewage system to the appropriate size and standard may result in less impact on the water quality of the lake and the environment. Section 5.2.8 of the Official Plan requires all development on or adjacent to an at-capacity lake trout lakes to be subject to site plan control to help ensure that the lake is protected.

Site plan control is a recommended condition of approval to ensure the property is developed as presented. The proposed variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan, specifically the policies on limited service residential development, development within environmentally sensitive areas adjacent to a lake and policies on development near Lake Trout Lakes. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The proposed dwelling is a permitted use on the subject property. The subject property is an undersized lot of record with an area of 0.19 hectares (0.47 acres). The proposed dwelling will be constructed on the same general footprint, 3.2 metres further away from the top of bank and the highwater mark than the existing dwelling. The only location for the proposed sewage system is between the dwelling and the lane. The sewage system will be as far back from the highwater mark as possible, and outside of the 30 metres from Loughborough Lake. The dwelling is therefore constrained by the location of the sewage system. Due to the property size and constraints (the proposed location of the upgraded sewage system), the proposed dwelling is located as far back from the highwater mark and top of bank as possible. The new dwelling will be located 3.2 metres further away from the top of bank than the existing dwelling, outside of the erosion access allowance and represents an improvement to the existing situation. The 6 metre top of bank setback is supported by the Conservation Authority who indicated that the exposed bedrock is stable and that the proposed location is suitable for development from an erosion hazard perspective. The increase in lot coverage for the property is 1.1%. The increase in the area of the dwelling by 22.1 square metres (from 161 square metres of ground floor area to 182 square metres of ground floor area) is considered to be minimal. The building footprint is modest in size. The proposed dwelling meets the interior side yard setback and rear yard setback and is within the maximum building height allowed in the RLSW zone. The variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law.

Is the requested variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure in question? The proposed dwelling will be on the same general footprint as the existing dwelling where it will have minimal impact on surrounding neighbouring properties. The proposed location of the dwelling is practical on the subject property as it maximizes the setbacks from the lake and top of bank, and allows sufficient area for a sewage system. The re-development will allow for an upgraded sewage system to be located outside the 30 metre setback from Loughborough Lake resulting in less impact to water quality and the environment. Building on the same footprint will cause minimal disturbance to the natural features on the subject property. The proposed dwelling is not anticipated to impact the character of the waterfront as the additional building area (proposed to the rear) will be screened by the existing boathouse and the steep forested embankment. There is also a row of existing trees located between the subject property and the neighbouring property to the north-east. The dwelling will be screened from the lane because of the intervening garage and the slope of the property will provide sufficient spatial separation. The increase in height for the dwelling will be less than 1 metre. It will continue to be a 2 storey dwelling with a walkout basement. The dwelling will be located 1.6 metres closer to the property on the south-west, but will continue to exceed the required side-yard setback. The use of the property is not changing, and it is not anticipated that the new dwelling will result in any land use incompatibilities between these two properties. The variance is desirable for the appropriate development.
Is the variance minor? Yes, the variance is minor as it maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is desirable for the appropriate development of the land. The proposed development will not cause any negative impacts as a result of its size and location on the subject property, and no shoreline buffer area alteration is proposed as part of this application.

Reason why you can’t comply: In other words, why can you not meet the required setbacks. It could be, for example, because you are seeking a variance to add on to an existing structure that is already too close to the water, or that developing further from the water would be
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. Ifthe numbers are 010, 020 or 030, your district is Bedford; if the numbers are O40-O50, 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 if a civic number has not been assigned, leave this c. Street Number: Your civic address 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. Ifso, that person’s name, address and phone number should appear here All owner’s must sign the authorization.

20)Date of existing buildings: If you are not sure, provide your best estimate.
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 orderto construct a basement under it.
Demolition: All demolition requires a permit from the building department. In some instances, a proposed addition or increase in height cannot be accomplished without the removal of existing walls. If this is not made clear to the Committee at the beginning of the process, you may 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

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 ofa 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.
Minor variance: Has there ever been a minor variance granted on the property? If you are longtime owner of the property, you will probably be aware of any other special permission granted for a variance to the zoning by-law. If you are a new owner, the seller will probably have made you aware of this.
If yes: If there is a current application for severance or subdivision on the property, please indicate the file 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 specific ditches that have been constructed to deal with drainage; is there natural drainage, etc.?

Thank you,
Not a problem Christine. As we mentioned this hadn’t been in the forefront of our minds with regards to our renovations, however given how strong the wind is off the lake and that below the decks it is all gravel, closing this space in eventually would be helpful. Our plan would be to have framed in windows and sliding doors, with concrete flooring to be used as a transition space, sunroom or play room.

Summary This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application for permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming dwelling and garage under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, subject to conditions.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) Relief Requested The applicant seeks permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge the legal non-conforming dwelling and garage on the property within 30 metres of the highwater mark of Dog Lake. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act.
Discussion/Analysis Property Description The 0.66 acre property is located at the end of Hideaway Lane and has frontage on Dog Lake. The topography is generally level from the lane to the lake. The shoreline consists of exposed bedrock, and the remainder of the property is grassed. There are several trees on the north side of the property. The property is developed with a single detached dwelling, a detached garage and a small shed.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Permission Application (S. 45(2) of the Planning Act) PL-ZNA-2022-0026, Helyer and Miguel, 3835 Hideaway Lane, Storrington District
The 1,392 square foot dwelling has an attached deck on three sides. According to the application sketch, the deck is setback 22.5 metres (74 feet) from the highwater mark of Dog Lake. It is noted that this distance was measured to a straight line on the property survey to account for the irregular shoreline. The deck is setback approximately 16.5 metres (55 feet) from the highwater mark according to Frontenac Maps. Similarly, the dwelling itself is setback approximately 20.4 metres (67 feet) from the highwater mark based on Frontenac Maps. The 432 square foot detached garage is setback approximately 14.5 metres (47 feet) from the highwater mark. The 96 square foot shed is located between the garage and the shoreline. A sewage system is located between the dwelling and the lane. Summary of Proposal The dwelling would be raised 1.2 metres (4 feet) to turn the existing crawlspace into a full basement for living space. The area under the 432 square foot waterside deck would be enclosed. The staircase on the waterside of the deck as well as the staircase and deck on the south side of the dwelling would be removed. The garage was enlarged through the addition of a 264 square foot carport by a previous owner without any Committee of Adjustment and building permit approvals. The current owners are seeking to have the location of the addition to the garage (i.e. carport) legally recognized. Agency Comments Public Services did not provide comments on the application as the property is accessed from a private lane. Building Services reviewed the performance of the existing sewage system on the subject property. They determined that the existing sewage system is not adequately sized for the proposed development (e.g. internal renovation). The subject property is undersized and pie-shaped, with the narrow end between the existing dwelling and Hideaway Lane. The existing sewage system takes up most of this space, so there is no area that would allow for expansion of the existing system. The applicants have since indicated that they will change their internal renovation plans to ensure the existing sewage system will be sufficient. Building Services will ensure any interior renovations will be limited to that which is able to be serviced by the existing system. Building staff will review this through the building permit process. Rideau Waterway Development Review Team (RWDRT), made up of staff from Cataraqui Conservation and Parks Canada indicated on March 18, 2022, that they have no objection to the approval of the application to raise the dwelling and to recognize the carport. They indicated on March 24, 2022, that they also have no objection to enclosing the area beneath the deck. The RWDRT confirmed that the buildings are outside the floodplain and the shoreline erosion hazard. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time this report was written. Planning Analysis The property is zoned RLSW in Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, so the dwelling and garage are permitted uses. The use of the property will not change as a result of this application. Section 5.10.2 of the Zoning By-law states that existing buildings with less than the minimum 30 metre setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody may be repaired, renovated or strengthened to a safe condition provided there is no enlargement of the gross floor area or increase in height. This provision prohibits the enlargement of these existing buildings, without seeking permission from the Committee of Adjustment. The existing dwelling and garage are legal non-conforming buildings because they were constructed prior to the current Zoning By-law and are setback 16.5 metres (55 feet) and 14.5 metres (47 feet) from the highwater mark, respectively. Through its powers under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to enlarge the dwelling and to retroactively grant permission for the carport addition to the garage. Dwelling The dwelling is proposed to be raised 1.2 metres (4 feet) to turn the existing crawlspace into a full basement. This will result in an increase in living space. The increase in height is not anticipated to have an adverse visual impact, such as loss of sunlight, privacy and views, on the properties to the north and south over the existing condition. The north end of the property contains trees that provide visual screening. The existing garage is located between the dwelling and the property to the south. The main entry to the dwelling will be moved to the ground level on the south side of the dwelling, and the upper-level decking on this side will be removed. The view from the lake is also not anticipated to be noticeably different than the impact of the existing dwelling. The area under the 432 square foot waterside deck is proposed to be enclosed to create a transition space, sunroom or playroom at a future date. This area is currently screened with lattice and used for outdoor storage. The enclosure to create living space is not anticipated have an adverse impact on neighbouring properties or the lake. The enlarged dwelling will continue to be setback approximately 16.5 metres (55 feet) from the highwater mark. It will also maintain all other existing setbacks. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

The existing sewage system is located as far from Dog Lake as is physically possible, between the dwelling and the lane. There is no area on the property for expansion of the sewage system. Building Services will ensure that any internal dwelling renovations will not reduce the performance level of the existing sewage system (i.e. not exceed its capacity). Garage The existing detached garage is setback approximately 14.5 metres (47 feet) from the highwater mark. The 432 square foot garage was enlarged by the addition of a 264 square foot carport by a previous owner without any approvals. The carport is a roof overhang supported by posts. The carport was constructed no closer to the highwater mark than the garage. The carport is not anticipated to have an adverse visual impact on the neighbouring property as the carport is located between the garage and the dwelling. The view from the lake is also not anticipated to be impacted over the existing condition. 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 and garage 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:

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

Demolition: All demolition requires a permit from the building department. In some instances, a proposed addition or increase in height cannot be accomplished withoutthe removal of existing walls. If this is not made clear to the Committee at the beginning of the process, you may find that, although you are granted permission to add on to your residence, you can’t actually do it because you have not made it clear that there is demolition involved.
Description of new construction: ALL proposed new development must be describedhere. If you are proposing to construct an addition to a dwelling, and to add a deck, please show this information in separate columns.

Attention: Anna Gelaldi, Planner Estate of Bruce Taylor; Application for Minor Variance, PL-ZNA-2022-0027 – 106 Sandpit Lane, Lot 32, Concession 4; Geographic Township of Bedford, Now the Township of South Frontenac; Roll Number: 01290300206760000000 ———————————————————————————————————–Subject:
Dear Ms. Geladi, The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has reviewed the subject applications within the context of:
- Section 2.1 Natural Heritage, 2.2 Water and 3.1 Natural Hazards of the Provincial Policy Statement under Section 3 of the Planning Act;
- The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (“Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses” regulation 174/06 under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act);
- The Mississippi-Rideau Source Water Protection Plan;
- The Tay-River-Bobs Lake Catchment Report
The Proposal The RVCA understands this application is seeking the enlargement of an existing screened porch within the 30m setback of Crow Lake. It is proposed that the extended porch will replace the existing deck and will not change the footprint nor encroach further into the current setback from Crow Lake. A revised application was received March 11, 2022 that also proposed
Page 255 of 304
increasing the roof height on a portion of the cottage to meet the roof height of 3.7 m (measured from deck). It is noted that this will not result in a change in living space. The Property The subject property is approximately 0.20 ha. The lot is presently developed with an existing deck, screened porch, sleeping cabin/bunkie, sheds and an outhouse. Multiple staircases provide access to the existing deck and cottage. The lot appears to have manicured lawn to the water. There are several large mature trees on the property, though vegetation is limited between the cottage and waterfront. The lot is steeply sloped with the existing cottage built adjacent to the slope, the terrain slopes gently from the cottage to the water. A review of the desktop mapping and site visit to the subject property on March 10, 2022 indicated the following natural hazards or natural heritage features: -Crow Lake is considered to be a watercourse for the purpose of our regulation -The property overlies a highly vulnerable aquifer A review of our records does not reveal the presence marine clays, organic soils or wetland areas. Review Comments Provincial Policy Statement Regarding Section 2.1 of the PPS our office has no concerns. In relation to Section 2.2 of the PPS our office has some concern regarding the proposed development and has provided recommendations to protect, restore or improve water quality. In respect of Section 3.1 our office has no concern, though steep slopes on the property may present a possible hazard, the proposed redevelopment is on a portion of the lot with more gradually sloping terrain. Ontario Regulation 174/06 Currently our office regulates the shoreline of Crow Lake. Should any development be proposed along the shoreline of Crow Lake (including, but not limited to, grading, site alteration, dock installation or erosion protection works) the prior written permission is required from our office in accordance with our (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses) made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act. The development proposed in the subject application does not include any shoreline alteration and will not require written permission from our office. Tay River-Bobs and Crow Lake Catchment Report Crow Lake has a water quality rating that ranges from “Good” to “Very Good” based on Water Quality Index Ratings. These ratings indicate that conditions rarely depart from natural or desirable levels. The lake is characterized by low nutrient levels, clear water and good oxygen
Page 256 of 304
Page 2 of 4
conditions to support lake trout habitat. Maintaining low nutrient concentrations in Crow Lake is very important to protect existing lake trout habitat conditions. The report identifies that diversion of runoff and enhanced shoreline buffers are necessary to continue to protect and enhance water quality and reduce future nutrient increase-particularly in developed areas. A well vegetated shoreline can also protect against erosion and provides important habitat for wildlife. Low Impact Development methods should also be considered to improve runoff quality and reduce the amount of stormwater runoff to the lake, this is particularly important on sensitive waterfront properties that have steep slopes or shallow soils. Mississippi Rideau Source Water Protection Plan This property has been identified as overlying a highly vulnerable aquifer as stated in the catchment report and indicated in the Mississippi-Rideau Source Water Protection Plan. These are aquifers that are vulnerable to surface contaminants due to thin or absent soils overlying bedrock that may be fractured. Where these conditions exist, it may be possible for contaminants to enter drinking ground water supplies. For this reason, care should be taken to avoid land uses and practices that may inadvertently lead to undesirable effects on groundwater. 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 wells are located upgradient of septic sewage disposal systems ensuring that wells and septic systems are property maintained, avoiding use of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers.
Discussion The existing cottage and attached decking is setback 13 m from Crow Lake as measured on site, it should be noted that determination of the highwater mark was approximated given snow/ice cover. While the proposed development would increase the living space within the existing setback there will be no further encroachment as the footprint of the porch will be restricted to the area occupied by the existing deck, an area of 6 m2. It is the opinion of this reviewer that this redevelopment is not a significant change of use and will not negatively impact Crow Lake provided the recommended mitigation measures are applied. Through this redevelopment opportunities exist to provide protection and improvement to water quality in Crow Lake. Our office would recommend a native vegetation buffer is established along the shoreline to assist in filtration and reduction of runoff that reaches Crow Lake and provide the numerous benefits that naturally vegetated shorelines provide. It is also recommended that improvement be made to roof runoff through the installation of eavestroughs that direct rainfall away from the lake to an area of the property that allows for infiltration of surface water.
Page 257 of 304
Page 3 of 4
Recommendations Should the Township allow the variance our office would have the following recommendation for conditions of any implementation agreement or notes to be included on any decision:
- A planting plan showing improved shoreline vegetation adjacent to Crow Lake should be provided and implemented. The planting plan should take the form of a drawing showing where the vegetation would be improved along the shoreline to an area a minimum of 3 m from the high-water mark. It should be noted that this would not preclude the removal of dead or diseased trees. The applicant is encouraged to discuss this with our office if assistance is required. RVCA staff can assist in planning and planting shoreline vegetation, whether trees or shrubs, and would be willing to discuss grant programs that the applicants may wish to consider. If the applicants are interested in this service, they should contact Meaghan MacDonald (Meaghan.mcdonald@rvca.ca or 613-692-3571 x 1192) at our Manotick office.
- Roof runoff should be directed to the rear or side yards and to an area of soil depth or containment adequate to allow for absorption, infiltration and treatment. Collection and management of runoff in this manner helps to control untreated surface water from running overland to Crow Lake. This assists with preventing nutrients and sediment from reaching these features. This shall be to the satisfaction of the Township. -Any excavated materials will be disposed of 30 metres or more from the normal highwater mark of Crow Lake at a proper disposal site. This shall be to the satisfaction of the Township.
- Sediment and erosion controls (such as silt fencing & straw bales) should be installed on the downslope side of the construction site prior to any works commencing (including demolition and future construction) and be maintained in place until vegetation has re-established. This should be to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Official. -Should any work be undertaken along the shoreline of Crow Lake permits would be required by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority in accordance with Ontario Regulation 174/06 (“Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses”). Conclusions In conclusion our office has no objection the subject application. Please advise us on the Committee’s decision respecting this application or any changes in the status of the application. Thank you for the opportunity to comment and please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (613) 692-3571 x1109 should you have any questions. Yours truly,

Michelle Hannah From: Sent: To: Subject:
Anne Roulston April 3, 2022 5:25 PM planning Notice of hearing on Permission Application PL-ZNA-2022-0027
Dear Michelle Hannah, I am writing a letter of support for the proposed modifications to the cottage situated at 106 Sandpit Lane, Tichborne Ontario. I am the co-owner of the cottage and direct neighbor of Kelly and Walter Di Cesare on the north side of their property. Our two cottages are very close together ( less than 40 feet) but are separated by a row of cedar hedge. I have been cottaging on Crow Lake since 1968 with my family and have a deep emotional attachment to the lake and our to our cottage lane. My family and I have known Bruce Taylor and his family (daughters Kelly, Jody and grandchildren) for many years. My husband and I have more recently come to know Kelly and Walter better and can attest to the fact that they are extremely respectful to their neighbors and in the stewardship of the lake and the lane. I fully support the work they are proposing to do on their cottage, that will involved closing in the existing deck at the front of the cottage as I see no impact to the footprint of their cottage, the land and the use of the lake. I have discussed the letter we received from the township in the mail with my two sisters who own the cottage to the north of me, and they are also in favor of the proposed renovations to the Taylor cottage. I sincerely hope they will be granted a minor variance to make the desired changes. Best regards, Anne Roulston

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: April 14, 2022 Permission Application (S. 45(2) of the Planning Act) Subject: PL-ZNA-2022-0027 (Taylor)(Di Cesare) – 106 Sandpit Lane, District of Bedford
Summary This application is requesting permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming building by demolishing a 64 square feet section of the existing deck and replacing it with a 64 square feet extension to the existing enclosed porch within 30 metres of the highwater mark of Crow Lake. This report recommends that the Committee of Adjustment grant approval of this application for permission to enlarge a legal non-conforming building, per section 45(2) of the Planning Act, subject to conditions.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural Zoning: Limited Service Residential Waterfront – RLSW
Relief Requested The application seeks permission to enlarge a seasonal dwelling under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act within 30 metres of the highwater mark.
Discussion/Analysis Property Description The subject property is located at 106 Sandpit Lane. Sandpit Lane is accessed from Anderson Road North. The property has an area of approximately 0.24 hectares (0.6 acres), and approximately 60 metres (200 feet) of water frontage on Crow Lake and 55.4 metres (182 feet) of frontage on Sandpit Lane. The property rises steeply from Crow Lake to Sandpit Lane. There is a flat area between the dwelling and Crow Lake. The dwelling is built into the slope. The area on the west side

Page 260 of 304
Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2022-0027 (Taylor)(Di Cesare) – 106 Sandpit Lane, District of Bedford
of the subject property is predominantly forested. The vegetation is limited between the dwelling and the waterfront. The property is developed with a seasonal dwelling, two sleeping cabins (bunkie), an outhouse and two sheds, and an associated sewage system. The seasonal dwelling includes an enclosed porch and in front of the porch, there is an attached deck. The seasonal dwelling including the attached deck is setback 13 metres from the highwater mark at its closest point. The seasonal dwelling has a height of 6.1 metres. It is single storey with an open storage area underneath the seasonal dwelling.
Summary of Proposal The applicants are proposing to demolish a 64 square feet (16 ft by 4 ft) section of the deck and replace it with a 64 square feet (16 ft by 4 ft) extension of the existing enclosed porch. The remainder of the deck (on the north and south sides of the dwelling) will remain as it is existing, uncovered. The proposal would not result in the footprint of the building getting any larger, and the porch would be no closer to the highwater mark of Crow Lake than the deck that would be demolished. Permission is required to allow an enlargement of the gross floor area of the dwelling within 30 metres of the lake. The applicants have also indicated that they are proposing to increase the roof height on the south side of the cottage to meet the roof height of 3.7 metres (measured from the deck) of the rest of the cottage to allow a higher window. The overall height of the dwelling will not increase. No permission is required for this component of the proposal.
Department and Agency Comments This application did not meet the criteria for circulation to Building Services. Rideau Valley Conservation Authority provided comments on March 22, 2022 which indicate that Staff have no objection to the approval of the application. RVCA Staff note that the proposed development would increase the living space within the existing setback but would not encroach closer to the water as the footprint of the porch will be restricted to the area occupied by the existing deck (6 square metres). It is the opinion of RVCA that this redevelopment is not a significant change of use and will not negatively impact Crow Lake provided that the recommended mitigation measures mentioned in their letter are applied. These mitigation measures include:

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2022-0027 (Taylor)(Di Cesare) – 106 Sandpit Lane, District of Bedford
- The establishment of a native vegetation buffer along the shoreline to assist infiltration and reduction of runoff that reaches Crow Lake;
- That improvement be made to roof runoff through the installation of eavestroughs that direct rainfall away from the lake to an area of the property that allows for infiltration of surface water. RVCA notes that the development proposed in the subject application does not include any shoreline alteration and will not require written permission from their office under O. Reg. 174/06.
Public Comments One comment has been received from a neighbouring property owner indicating that they are supportive of the proposed development.
Planning Analysis The property is zoned RLSW, so the seasonal dwelling is a permitted use. The use of the property will not change because of this application. Section 5.10.2 of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 states that existing buildings with less than the minimum 30 metre setback from the highwater mark of a waterbody may be repaired, renovated or strengthened to a safe condition provided there is no enlargement of the gross floor area or increase in height. This provision does not allow the enlargement of these existing buildings within 30 metres. This makes them legal non-conforming structures. The existing dwelling is a legal non-conforming building because it was constructed in 1960’s (according to the application), and because it is setback 13 metres from the highwater mark at its closest point. Permission is required to make changes to legal non-conforming buildings. This application is seeking permission to enlarge the gross floor area by 64 square feet (6 square metres). In this situation, the Committee of Adjustment should consider whether to grant permission to enlarge the legal non-conforming building under Section 45(2) of the Planning Act. The dwelling currently has a porch facing the lake which is completely enclosed and used as living space. There is also a deck located in front of the porch. The proposal is to demolish a portion of the existing deck and replace it with an extension of the existing screened-in porch. The footprint of the dwelling will not increase nor will lot coverage. The height of the enlarged porch will not be higher than the height of the existing roof line of the main part of the dwelling. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2022-0027 (Taylor)(Di Cesare) – 106 Sandpit Lane, District of Bedford
The enlarged porch would be no closer to the highwater mark of Crow Lake than the deck that would be demolished. Requiring a development agreement on the property will ensure that the development is undertaken in accordance with the Township environmental standards, and will implement the recommendations for roof run-off and re-vegetation outlined by the Conservation Authority. Crow Lake is an at-capacity Lake Trout Lake, which means it is at capacity for development with respect to additional nutrient loadings which may adversely affect water quality. The dwelling is serviced by an existing septic system. The proposal involves enclosing a portion of the deck to be added to the dwelling and is not anticipated to increase the nutrient loading associated with the septic system as no plumbing is being added as part of the proposal. By rebuilding the enlargement of the screened in porch on the same footprint as the existing deck, the proposal is designed to preserve as much as possible a site’s physical attributes and cause minimal disturbance. The existing dwelling is compatible with the established built form and character of the surrounding properties. There is an existing row of trees separating the dwelling from the neighbouring property to the east. The dwelling is built up against the slope of the property and is not visible from the Lane. There is sufficient open space and a buffer of trees to provide buffering from neighbours to the west. Requiring re-vegetation between the dwelling and the shoreline will provide additional screening from views from the water. Furthermore, the size and scale of the proposed increase in gross floor area will not change the way the property is being used today. It is the opinion of staff that it is appropriate for the Committee of Adjustment to grant permission to enlarge the legal non-conforming dwelling, 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 posting on the Township’s Current Planning Application webpage by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies
Recommendation That the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, approve application PL-ZNA-2022-0027, subject to the following conditions: www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Attention: Christine Woods, Planner Pickett, Carole Lynn; Application for Minor Variance, PL-ZNA-2022-0028 – 219 Garrett Rd, Lot 20, Concession 6; Geographic Township of Bedford, Now the Township of South Frontenac; Roll Number: 1029 0100 5017 3000 0000 ———————————————————————————————————–Subject:
Dear Ms. Woods The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has reviewed the subject applications within the context of:
- Section 2.1 Natural Heritage, 2.2 Water and 3.1 Natural Hazards of the Provincial Policy Statement under Section 3 of the Planning Act;
- The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (“Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses” regulation 174/06 under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act);
- The Mississippi-Rideau Source Water Protection Plan;
- The Tay-River-Bobs Lake Catchment Report
The Proposal The RVCA understands this application is seeking permission to add a 27.9 m2 main floor addition to an existing dwelling to allow for an additional bedroom. It is noted that two dwellings exist on the subject property.
Page 276 of 304
The Property The subject property is approximately 83.4 ha. The lot is presently developed, with sheds, barns and two existing dwellings have existed since 1900. A portion of the lot appears to have been cleared for agriculture, with forest and wetland cover also present. A review of the desktop mapping indicated the following natural hazards or natural heritage features: -The Doran Lake Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) and associated regulated area is present on the subject property -A watercourse identified as a headwater drainage feature flows west to east across Garrett Rd and flows into the PSW south of the existing dwellings -A small unevaluated wetland is present in the northwest corner of the subject property A review of our records does not reveal the presence of steep slopes, marine clays, or organic soils. Review Comments Provincial Policy Statement Regarding Section 2.1 and 2.2 of the PPS the proposed setback from the wetland and watercourse should also any impacts from the proposed development to be mitigated. In respect of Section 3.1 our office has no concern. Ontario Regulation 174/06 The proposed development is within the 120 m regulation limit of the Doran Lake PSW as such any development will require written permission from our office in accordance with our (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses) made under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act. Please note that any proposed alterations to watercourse, including but not limited to, culvert installation, bridge crossings, diverting, dredging, realigning, stabilizing, also requires the prior written permission of the RVCA in accordance with Ontario Regulation 174/06 “Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses”. Tay River-Bobs and Crow Lake Catchment Report There is little within the report the relates directly to this property. A headwaters drainage features has been identified; these features are depressions in the land that conveys surface flow. They are important in maintaining hydrologic connectivity, maintaining habitat conditions and sediment transport as should be protected. The report identifies that diversion of runoff and enhanced shoreline buffers are important to continue to protect and enhance water quality. Maintaining natural vegetation can also protect against erosion and provides important habitat for wildlife. Low Impact Development methods should also be considered to improve runoff quality and promote infiltration of runoff.

Page 2 of 3
Mississippi Rideau Source Water Protection Plan This property has been identified as overlying a highly vulnerable aquifer as stated in the catchment report and indicated in the Mississippi-Rideau Source Water Protection Plan. These are aquifers that are vulnerable to surface contaminants due to thin or absent soils overlying bedrock that may be fractured. Where these conditions exist, it may be possible for contaminants to enter drinking ground water supplies. For this reason, care should be taken to avoid land uses and practices that may inadvertently lead to undesirable effects on groundwater. 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 wells are located upgradient of septic sewage disposal systems ensuring that wells and septic systems are property maintained, avoiding use of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers.
Conclusions In conclusion our office has no objection the subject application. Please advise us on the Committee’s decision respecting this application or any changes in the status of the application. Thank you for the opportunity to comment and please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (613) 692-3571 x1109 should you have any questions. Yours truly,

To: Committee of Adjustment Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: April 14, 2022 Permission Application (S. 45(2) of the Planning Act) Subject: PL-ZNA-2022-0028, Carole Pickett, 217-219 Garrett 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 building per section 45(2) of the Planning Act, subject to conditions.
Background Official Plan Designation: Rural and Environmental Protection Area Zoning: Rural (RU) and Environmental Protection (EP) Relief Requested The applicant seeks permission under section 45(2) of the Planning Act to enlarge one of the two single detached dwellings on the property. This permission is requested because the Rural (RU) zone only permits one dwelling on the property. Related Applications The lands are not subject to any additional applications under the Planning Act.
Discussion/Analysis Property Description The subject property is located at 217-219 Garrett Road. The 206-acre property consists of fields, forest and wetlands. The wetlands are part of the Provincially significant Doran Lake Wetland. The two single detached dwellings, two sheds and two barns on the property are near Garrett Road. The primary dwelling has a 2,612 square feet gross floor area. This dwelling is setback approximately 55 metres from the front lot line. The secondary dwelling has a 1,408 square foot gross floor area. This dwelling is setback approximately 68 metres www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

from the front lot line. The two dwellings are more than 90 metres from the nearest wetland. The two dwellings are serviced by a shared well and sewage system. Summary of Proposal The proposal is to construct a 300 square foot addition to the secondary dwelling for an accessible, main floor bedroom. Agency Comments Public Services did not provide comments on the application as it does not impact the existing entrance of the property. Building Services indicated that a performance review of the existing sewage system will be required as part of the building permit application process for the proposed addition. Rideau Valley Conservation Authority indicated on April 3, 2022, that it has no objection to the approval of this application. They noted that the proposed development is within the 120 metre regulation limit of the Doran Lake Provincially Significant Wetland, and that written permission from their office will be required under O. Reg. 174/06. Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time this report was written. Planning Analysis The subject property is zoned Rural (RU), which permits one dwelling per property. The primary dwelling on the property was constructed in 1870 and the secondary dwelling was constructed in 1900. The secondary dwelling is a legal non-conforming use since it predates Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The Zoning By-law does not prevent the continued use of the secondary dwelling. However, it does not permit the building to be enlarged in height, size or volume. Through its powers under section 45(2) of the Planning Act, the Committee of Adjustment may grant permission to enlarge the building. Permitting the secondary dwelling to be enlarged through a 300 square foot addition for a main floor bedroom would make the dwelling accessible for elderly people and people with mobility issues. It would also support the Township’s goal to encourage residential development which is affordable, of high quality and capable of meeting the changing and diverse needs of the rural community. Adequate water and sewage disposal systems are a consideration for rural development. The two dwellings are serviced by a shared well and sewage system. The bedroom addition is not anticipated to result in an increase in water demand. A performance review www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZNA-2022-0028, Carole Pickett, 217-219 Garrett Road, Bedford District
of the existing sewage system will be required as part of the building permit application process for the proposed addition. The property is large enough to accommodate an upgraded or new sewage system that meets Ontario Building Code separation distances, if one is required. The primary dwelling and the secondary dwelling are setback approximately 55 metres and 68 metres from the front lot line, respectively. The dwellings are visually screened from the road by a treed fence line. The dwellings are more than 90 metres from the nearest wetland, which is in a valley to the west. The building addition would not have a negative impact on the wetland or its adjacent lands. 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 posting on the Township’s Current Planning Application webpage by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies
Recommendation That the Committee of Adjustment receive comments from the public and, pending comments received, approve for application PL-ZNA-2022-0028, subject to the following conditions.
- Permission is granted to enlarge the 1,408 square foot secondary dwelling on the subject property by 300 square feet, consistent with drawings submitted at the time of application.
- A building permit is required for ALL demolition and construction on the property. There shall be no additional development, or demolition of existing structures, on the property without the approval from the Township of South Frontenac.

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. All four tests must be met for an application to be approved. It is the opinion of Planning staff that the proposal meets the four tests as explained below. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The subject property is designated Rural in the Township Official Plan. The detached garage and shed are accessory uses consistent within the permitted residential use of a property in the Rural designation. The variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. Does the variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The proposed detached garage and shed are permitted uses on the subject property. The proposed detached garage and shed do not exceed the maximum permitted height for accessory buildings, nor lot coverage for accessory buildings, and are not larger than the principal building. The garage is located a suitable distance from property lines. It is located 19.5 metres from the front lot line being Forest Road, which is 0.5 metres less than what is required for the principal building. It is also able to meet the other setback requirements for an accessory building in the RU zone (side yard and height). The garage will be located 14.5 metres from the principal dwelling. The shed is small in size (8.9 square metres), did not require a building permit and is located 37.5 metres from Forest Road. The shed is located 4.5 metres from the principal dwelling. The variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Is the requested variance desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure in question? Allowing the shed to be located on the east side of the property is practical as it provides safe storage of materials near the garage and the principal dwelling. The shed is existing and is roughly located in line with the principal dwelling. It is screened from Forest Road and from the neighbouring property to the east by trees and distance and is not visible from the road or neighbouring properties. The shed is small in size and scale and is located more than 20 metres from Forest Road. Locating the detached garage in the front yard on the west side of the property off the existing driveway is practical, as it facilitates access to the garage. The garage could not be located in line with, or behind, the dwelling on the west side of the property because the sewage system is located there. Although there is area on the east side of the property to

locate a garage in line with, or behind, the dwelling, this would require a substantial increase in hard surface for a driveway extension across the front of the house. The proposed location of the garage will be screened from Forest Road by existing shrubs and trees, and distance. The size and scale of the garage will be smaller than the existing house. It is proposed to complement the dwelling in design and finish. The detached garage is proposed to be oriented so that the garage doors are facing east, perpendicular to the garage doors on the dwelling, so that the view of the property from the road is not overwhelmed by garages. This will allow the focus to remain on the residential use of the property. The applicant has indicated that between the two garages, they are intended to be used to store machinery, a four-wheeler, a motorcycle, a boat, cars, a snowmobile and yard equipment. The proposed garage is desirable for the appropriate development of the land, as it allows for enclosed storage which should help keep the property in a neat, tidy and safe condition. The variance is desirable for the appropriate development. Is the variance minor? Yes, the variance is minor as it maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is desirable for the appropriate development of the land.
Notice/Consultation Notice of the Statutory Public Hearing was given pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, at least 10 days in advance of the Public Hearing. This included notice given: • • • •
by mail to every owner of land within 60 metres of the subject lands by posting notice signs on the subject lands by posting on the Township’s Current Planning Application webpage by e-mail to prescribed persons and public bodies
