WAYNE CONRAD PROPERTY LOCATION FILE: 010-120-18805 Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report PD-66-99 be received for information. 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 Council, at their May 31, 1999 meeting, received a letter dated May 6, 1999, from Mr. Umberto Sapone who lives at 15 King Street, Hampton, and referred it to the Director of Planning for a report. Mr. Sapone advises he has lived in this location since 1989 and is the neighbouring property owner to the new Conrad residence being constructed on the corner of Taunton Road and King Street, 3 King Street, Hampton (Attachment No.1). 1.2 Wayne Conrad, the owner of the referenced property, currently resides at 27 King Street, Hampton. He has completed a number of additions to the residence at 27 King Street, including a large garage. Mr. Conrad is currently constructing a new residence at 3 King Street. 1.3 Mr. Sapone's letter (Attachment No.2) speaks to his "concerns and suspicions about a 'monstrous' 33,000 square foot building (allegedly a house) being constructed on a two acre lot" adjacent to his residence at 15 King Street. The issues include: 637 '- < ~ . REPORT NO.: PD-66-99 PAGE 2 , i) the building permit was issued without notice to adjoining property owners; ii) the height and depth of the building creates an impairment to the enjoyment of his property, especially the back yard; and iii) the new building is an eyesore adversely affecting the residential character of Ki ng Street. His suspicions are that the building being erected will be used for business purposes. Mr. Sapone's suspicions are based on: i) the design of the building which includes a hangar; ii) the square footage of the building; and iii) the owner's past record of using his present family dwelling at 27 King Street to conduct a busi ness. 2. ZONING REGULATIONS 2.1 The subject property is a 2.3 acre (0.93 ha) parcel zoned "Residential Hamlet (RH)" in the Municipality's Zoning By-law. As the parcel is a corner lot, the defined frontage is on King Street and the flankage or exterior side yard is on Taunton Road. The following provides a comparison of the RH zone provisions and the building permit application as filed and reviewed in December 1998. RH Provisions Proposed Front Yard Exterior Side Yard Interior Side Yard Rear Yard Floor Area .. 6.0 m (min) 6.0 m (min) 2.0 m (min) 10.0 m (min) 110sq/m(min) Lot Coverage Building Height 30% 10.5 m (max) 19.8 m 34.7 m 6.1 m 38.5 m 2225.14 sq/m *(23952 sq/ft) 12.4% 10.5 m * as calculated by the Building Division based on the Building Permit application of Wayne Conrad 6.58 " . " REPORT NO.: PD-66-99 PAGE 3 , The building permit complied with all applicable zone requirements and all rooms were identified as 'typical' residential uses. Due to the large lot size, the lot coverage permits a large residence to be constructed. 2.2 The RH zone limits the use of the property to a single detached dwelling and a home occupation. A home occupation is limited to a maximum of 25% of the total floor area of the dwelling. Furthermore, it is limited to members of the family residing in the dwelling unit plus a maximum of one additional person and includes a professional and administrative office. 3. BUILDING PERMIT 3.1 Through the building permit review process, the Building Division staff questioned Mr. Conrad, his designer and his contractor with regard to the proposed use of portions of his building for business purposes. Building staff were repeatedly advised that the building is to be used exclusively for dwelling purposes. 3.2 In consideration of this, Building staff classified the structure as a single detached dwelling. Any changes to this will require a 'change of use' permit and possible upgrades to accommodate the proposed use. In addition, further approvals could be required from the Planning Department, the Fire Department and the Regional Health Department if a change in use was introduced. 3.3 A building permit in compliance with the Municipality's Zoning By-law does not require a "public process" under the Building Code, therefore no notice to neighbouring property owners was required or provided. 3.4 Public Works Department have reviewed the contents of this report and concur with the statements and conclusions put forward. 639 '..f ,. . " REPORT NO.: PD-66-99 PAGE 4 4. LETTER FROM WAYNE CONRAD 4.1 In response to a request from the Director of Planning, Mr. Conrad forwarded a letter dated May 28, 1999, providing details of his new home, his existing home and his business. Mr. Conrad subsequently forwarded a more detailed letter to the Mayor and Members of Council dated May 29,1999 (Attachment No.3). 4.2 Mr. Conrad advised that the issues raised by his neighbour surprised him, as he had not previously been made aware of the concerns. The May 29'" letter addresses the issues raised by Mr. Sapone, in addition Attachment No. 1 to his May 29 letter contains the signatures of nine neighbours stating they have no objection to the size or aesthetics of the new home being constructed. 4.3 From the correspondence and discussions with Mr. Conrad staff have been advised that in addition to his wife and three children, his parents, a brother, and a friend, all live at 27 King Street, Hampton. His parents and friend will continue to live at 27 King Street after the new house is constructed. His business partners include his brother, his uncle, and the above-noted friend. From a zoning compliance perspective, it appears his uncle is the only other person currently working in the home who does not reside there. In addition it would appear that Mr. Conrad's business qualifies as a professional office, a permitted horne-occupation use. 5. CONCLUSION 5.1 While the new Conrad residence is a very large home, there are no zoning regulations contravened regarding the size or location of the proposed house. Mr. Conrad has indicated that the use of the building at 3 King Street will be for a residence with a personal office which may be used for a home-occupation use. Subsequent to his letter of May 29, 1999, Mr. Conrad has advised that he is withdrawing a proposed amendment to his building permit which was to contain a larger area for his home occupation use. 640 ',{ J, , REPORT NO.: PD-66-99 PAGE 5 5.2 In addition, Mr. Conrad has advised he currently rents two locations for his business needs elsewhere in the Municipality. He is currently looking for an industrially zoned parcel in the Municipality to commercialize a number of consumer products and will not be carrying on a business use at his future home at 3 King Street.

The said house, located on a residential street, alongside other homes ranging between 3000 to 5000 square feet, has been our home for the past nine years. This letter is to bring to your attention my concerns and suspicions about a "monstrous" 33,000.00 square feet building (allegedly a house) being erected on a two acre lot adjacent to our home, on the north east comer of King Street and Taunton Road in Hampton. My concerns, expressed to Carlo Pellarin, senior Planner, and Gregg Powless, Building Permit Department, are that, in addition to a building permit having been issued without notice to any of the owners of adjoining properties, the height and depth of the said building creates a serious impairment on the enjoyment of our property, especially our back yard, and is an eyesore adversely affecting the residential character of King Street. My suspicions based on the design (there is a hangar on the far East side of the building to allegedly build an Airplane - as a hobby), the square footage of the building and the owner's past record of extending and them using his present family dwelling on King Street to conduct business, is that the building in question is being e~ected and will be u~ for busine~s purposes. i c:)~,:~, <;~ I would ask that you be kind enough to adVise what actlOn(s) and/or measure(st,f1f/anf,-the'" ~ Municipality of Clarington proposes to take in order to address my concerns anP :ensure that,~ building will not be used for business purposes. : dr: ,/,Q0:!40; Thank you for you anticipated prompt attention to this matter. t~cCuu-? ~u c&iiJ b~3 P lO ' (}~ . < ! ' ATTACHMENT No.3 Saturday, May 29, 1999 Attn: The Mayor and members of Council Municipality ofClarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario LlC 3A6 BY HAND Wayne Conrad, 27 King Street, Hampton. Home being constructed at the comer of King Street and Taunton Road Mr David Crome, Acting Director of the Planning Department From: Re: cc. My wife and I are active members of the community in Hampton. Our three children attend school in Hampton. Over the past year we have spoken to virtually all of our neighbors regarding our plans to build a new home on a two acre lot at the comer of King Street and Taunton Road in Hampton across from M.J Hobbs school and adjacent to the works department. In fact, only four weeks ago my father Helmut and I were approached by Mr Sapone when we were walking to the construction site and he asked to tour the house. My father, Helmut Conrad and I gave him a tour of the home as built and we eXplained our landscaping plans to him. Mr Sapone gave us no indication that he had any issues with the house. In fact, I was unaware of any complaint until Mr Crome and Council Member Mary Novak asked to tour the home on Wednesday May 26, 1999 at which time they asked a series of questions. I have prepared written answers to a number of these questions in the following paragraphs. On Friday May 28, 1999 I was surprised that it was Mr Sapone who wrote a letter to the Municipality ofClarington on May 6, 1999 to express his concerns as he had not expressed these concerns with me directly. I have therefore prepared this letter to answer questions posed to me by Mr Crome and Council Member Mary Novak and to address Mr Sapone's concerns expressed in his letter dated May 6, 1999. I was asked "Have you spoken with your neighbors about your building plans and have they expressed any concerns?" My reply was immediately and emphatically "No!". I was unaware of any complaints or concerns and was surprised when I received a copy ofMr Sapone's letter. I therefore undertook to visit all of my neighbors this past weekend to confirm that they do not object to the fact that we are building the house and that they do no object to the size or aesthetics of the new house. The street numbers on King Street increase in increments of6. Our new home is the first on the street number 9 with Mr Sapone's beside our new home being number 15. I visited the residents of21, 33,39,45,51, and 57 King Street as well as Mr Rossi at 2297 Taunton Road who lives kitty comer to the new house. All of the people I spoke with had no concerns or objections and all of them have signed a letter attached hereto as Exhibit "1" confirming that they do not object to the size or aesthetics of the house that we are building. 044 I was also asked "Why there are so many cars in the driveway of our cnrrent home at 27 King Street and who comes and goes during the day?". I will begin by stating that our household is a very busy one. My wife and I, our three children, my parents Helmut and Ruth, our close friend Ted, and Carol's nephew all live at 27 King Street. My brother also stays with us from time to time. My wife's parents often visit with us for 2-4 weeks at a time from Europe as do her two brothers and three sisters. This often accounts for 1-2 rental cars in our driveway around Chrismas and in the middle of summer. We recognize that we have a busy household. My wife and I adopted our three children from Russia over the past eighteen months. These children were age 3, 6, and 7 at the time of their adoptions., We therefore hired a housekeeper and a registered nurse/social worker to assist us with the children to ensure that their special needs in terms of an accelerated education to allow them to catch up to their age peers would be met. We also have on staffa driver as Carol does not drive and six security personnel as my work frequently takes me away from home. The fIrst car arrives at 830 hrs. This is usually our child care assistant who takes two or three Qfthe children (based on schedule rotation) to school. At ajlproximately 0900 hrs the housekeeper, grounds keeper, the daytime security person, and driver arrive. Some mornings, the security supervisor also comes in. When my brother Scott is not staying with use, he also arrives at approximately 0900 hrs to work with me. In future, he will work with me at 9 King Street. My uncle Ken comes to work with me 2-4 days per week to do the accounting. Therefore, five to nine cars arrive every morning at approximately the same time as the traffic to the school across the road, MI. Hobbs occurs. Our housekeeper Angela usually picks up the mail in the morning. At 1145 hrs our child care assistant, Linda, picks the kids up from school, gives them lunch, and returns them to school at 1300 hrs. At approximately 1530 hrs our child care assistant, Linda, picks the kids up from school. Between 1630 hrs and 1830 hrs most of the cars leave other than those of the household and the evening security persons. As my brother and I collect cars and have 18 (as of today) between us. We do not resell cars. We have sold only one car in the last three years. There are therefore often 2 to 4 of my cars in the driveway in addition to that of my parents. I was specifically asked "Whose cars were parked on my driveway on Wednesday May 26, 1999?" The vehicles present that day included: Wayne Conrad Helmut and Ruth Conrad Scott Hamilton Ken Rogers Maidlhousekeeper, Angela Registered Nurse/child care assistant, Linda Driver (as my wife does not drive), Martyn Grounds maintenance person, Dave Visitor to Wayne, Philip Mendes DaCosta, Attorney Visitor to my parents, Werner Dietrich. Visitor to my parents, Bill Hart. resident of the home resident of the home brother of Wayne Conrad Uncle of Wayne Conrad OLfJ 3 vehicles 2 vehicles I vehicle I vehicle I vehicle 1 vehicle I vehicle I vehicle I vehicle I vehicle I vehicle , In addition, my wife and I entertain 2-10 guests at least twice per week in the afternoons and early evenings. This often accounts for an additional 2-6 cars in the late afternoon or early evening which stay until the late evening. I was also asked "Why are you building such a large home?". Simply stated our needs for entertaining, household staff parking, catering staff parking (often retained when we entertain), parking for my car collection (mostly in off site storage now) cannot be met without such a large home. In addition, my brother, father and I intend to build a four place aircraft over the next three or four years to which end we created a "high bay" garage in the new house. This aircraft is not being built as a commercial venture. My father worked with DeHavilland Aircraft of Canada Limited for over 35 years of his 48 yeiIT career in the aircraft industry. My father and I each learned to fly at age 15. My father and I have been active with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets for the past 23 years and have a deep interest in aviation. My father was a pilot for many years, and my brother and I are both pilots. Each year we sponsor two Gliding Scholarships for 151 Chadbum Squadron, Oshawa which is an important youth organization also sponsored by the Rotary Club ofOshawa. My father wishes to leave an experimental aircraft as part of his legacy. My father, three friends and I have already restored a 1929 single-seat wood and fabric "Gronau baby" aircraft as a hobby from 1977 to 1980. Since that time we have talked about building a four seat aircraft as a hobby. I believe that such a hobby will help keep my 74 year old father young as it will keep him busy and active. I was also asked "What will become of our current home?" We plan that my parents, Helmut and Ruth Conrad and our family friend Ted will continue to live at 27 King Street. A housekeeper and grounds keeper will be hired to maintain the home. Thus two to three people in addition to my uncle Ken will continue to go to the house at 27 King Street on most days. Thus the cars parked at 27 king street will be reduced to an average of 4-6 in the future while the driveway capacity is 12 cars. I was also asked "What is the nature of my business." I am a scientist and inventor with approximately 250 granted and pending patents in my name. My brother is an industrial designer and mechanic. My father is an aeronautical engineer. Our business is to develop new concepts and technologies. We primarily develop concepts for new electrical, electronic and mechanical systems. The companies with which I am affiliated all have laboratory and manufacturing rp.sources to commercialize the various products that we have conceived. Fantom Technologies Inc, for instance, has both manufacturing and research facilities in Weiland, Ontario where approximately 400 people are employed. We also work as consultants to various A1lgheny Teledyne companies located throughout the United States. My work at home involves new concept development, extensive computer simulations and the construction of small scale models typically smaller than 18" x 18" x 18". My brother and I intend to work together in the new building at 9 King Street. We have a small computer network and several supercomputers to accomplish this task. / 0'+0 ~ Some of our more notable projects over the past few years have included: · the design of the ozone water treatment system for the international space station in conjunction with Teledyne Brown Engineering. · The development of new superalloy manufacturing concepts with Teledyne Allvac and Alegheny Teledyne Rodney Metals. · The development of IS new products for Fantom Technologies Inc which employs approximately 400 people in Weiland, Ontario and 50 people in North Carolina. · The development of means to reduce pesticide use agriculture. · The development of means to remove pesticides from fruits and vegetables for baby . food manufacturing. · The development of improved hydroponic methods using ozone instead of pesticides. We do not offer our services to the public at large. We do not advertise nor do we have any signage to indicate our presence. Our business telephone number is unlisted. Our clients know what our technical capabilities are and how to reach us. We typically have two to three visits per month from our clients to review the status of the work. Our business currently employs 28 people in the local area. Most of these people provide CAD design and Engineering services working from their homes. We maintain a local off site office with 8 staff and two off site laboratory and experimental areas. Weare currently in the process of purchasing a local building site or an existing building to expand our research and development activities. A concern raised by Mr Sapone in his letter dated May 6th, 1999 is that "the house is a "monsterous" 33,000 square feet". As already built, the outside area (floor plate) of the house is actually only 10,362 square feet including the six garage bays and the indoor swimming pool area. The total interior floor area of the home excluding the basement and garages is 10,761 square feet. This area is comprised of8,190 square feet on the main floor including the bedroom area which is the upper side-split area and 2,571 square feet on the second floor as outlined in Attachment 2 hereto prepared by our architect, Russ Gibson. The living space as defined under the Ontario building code under which our health department permit was issued confirms that the living space is only 9,000 square feet when the area allotted for hallways and stairways is deducted from the total internal area. Thus the real square footage is less than 1/3 of the "33,000 square feet claimed by Mr Sapone. Thus, this house has a floor area less than double that of other homes in the area. My private study and model room where I will work account for only 1,056 square feet of this area which is only 9.8% of the total interior floor area of the home which is much less than the 40% maximum allowed for home businesses under the municipal bylaws. Furthermore, the garages are attached to the rear of the home and are thereby hidden from view such that the apparent size of the building is reduced as can be seen from Photographs 1,2, 3 and 4 attached hereto as Attachment 3. Figures 3 and 4 also show Mr Sapone's home. In photographs 3 and 4 it can be seen that the side split area of our new home is designed to compliment the garage attached to Mr Sapone's home. We ensured that the positioning of our home would compliment the position of his home on his lot relative to King Street. .1 041 Another concern raised by Mr Sapone is that "the house creates au eyesore which detracts from the residential character of the neighborhood". I do not believe this to be the case as the outside veneer of the home will be a Grey Ariscroft manufactured limestone similar to that currently used on six of the neighboring houses including Mr Sapone's. Furthermore, as can be seen in photograph 4, the frontal area of the home as viewed from King Street is only 30"10 larger than Mr Sapones home next door. Mr Sapones home has a 25% larger frontal area along King Street than does his neighbor to the north at 21 King Street. I do not believe that these proportions materially effect the residential character of the neighborhood nor do any of our other neighbors. W also positioning of our home on our lot so as to compliment the position of his home on his lot relative to King Street. As per attachment I, our neighbors do not object the size or aesthetics of the home that we are building. Another issue raised by Mr Sapone in his letter dated May 6, 1999 is that "the height and depth of the building is a serious impairment on his enjoyment of his property, particularly his back yard." My wife and I carefully considered the design of the home so as to address such concerns. We realize and respect that our neighbors wish to enjoy a quiet private home life. As we I <l<juire a substantial in-home staff and given that we are considering the adoption of further children, we designed our new home and landscaping to maintain privacy both for ourselves and for our future neighbor to the north, Mr Sapone. We took the following steps to ensure Mr Sapone's our privacy and the full enjoyment of his property: · We designed a "T" shaped home, similar to our current home at 27 King Street, Hampton. Our driveway is to the south side of the home away from our neighbor to the north, Mr Sapone. This driveway is hidden from view by the landscaping and the building as shown in Attachment 4. When we constructed an addition to our existing home at 27 King Street a number of years ago we did so in a "T" configuration. Our neighbor to the North at 27 King Street, Mr & Mrs Martin have often said that our building addition and the trees that we have planted have improved their enjoyment of their back yard rather than detract from it as indicated in their letter, Attachment 5 hereto. We have duplicated the concept of our T shaped addition extending eastward and westward from our original home in the concept of our new home. This T shaped construction will minimize the view between our patios and yard and that of our neighbor Mr Sapone and provide him with ~ rivacy. · We located the east/west portion of the home is located some 20 feet from the property line to allow us to plant a row of 32 large mature trees between our home and Mr Sapone's property. These trees would each have a height of20-30 feet and would be planted along the northern boundary of our property so as to totally obscure our building from Mr Sapones view with beautiful mature trees as shown in Attachment 4. This will effectively screen our home and yard from the view ofMr Sapone and visa versa. o~d ~ · We designed the layout of the house such that the entertaining area, specifically the kitchen, great room, sitting room with bar, dining room with balcony and the home theatre are all situated in the wing extending southwards away from Mr Sapones house. In addition, the east/west portion of the home blocks all northern exposures towards Mr Sapones property hence our balconies do not even look out over Mr Sapone's yard. Thus, our entertaining in the afternoons and evenings should not detract from anyone else enjoying their yard and their privacy. · The outside veneer of the home will be a Grey Ariscroft manufactured limestone similar to that currently used on six of the neighboring houses. Thus the exterior aesthetic of the home will blend in well with the neighboring homes. · A further consideration in our plans was that the home which we are constructing borders on Taunton Road and is across from MJ Hobbs school and as such is not a particularly quiet area. Our landscaping plan includes a burm towards Taunton Road and over 300 trees of which 136 are mature 20-30 foot tall trees. This will dramatically reduce the road noise from Taunton Road for us, for Mr Sapone, and for all King Street residents and will enhance the natural beauty of our King Street. My wife and I believe that we have done everything possible to take into considerations the residential aesthetic of our street in designing our home and its landscaping. My home occupation creates no noise, odor, or other nuisance to my current neighbors as attested by their letter attachment 5 hereto. As I will only be employing my brother to work with me in the new house I believe that my use falls within the municipal bylaws. I therefore respectfully submit to the Mayor and Counselors of the Municipality of Clarington that no action is required on your part and that I will undertake to do my best to maximize the beauty of our home to ensure my neighbors enjoyment of his propery.

KING ST. , ~ Ob ,) Attachment 5: Letter from Mr & Mrs Randy Martin of33 King Street indicating that our current "T" shaped house design and my working at home does not disturb them nor does it detract from their enjoyment of their home and yard. 004 11 ".r . .., May 29,1999 Attn: The Mayor and Members ofCounciJ Municipality ofClarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario LIC 3A6 Mr David Crome, Acting Director of Planning Occupancy of27 King Street by Wayne Conrad and Carol Quinn cc. Re: We are the direct neighbors of Wayne Conrad and Carol Quinn who reside at 27 King Street, Hampton, Ontario. We live directly north of Wayne and Carol at 33 King Street. We are aware that Wayne is a research scientist and inventor and that he works at home. Wayne's work at home does not disturb us. In fact, we never know if they are home or not unless we see Carol or the Children. Wayne and Carol's "T' shaped home at 27 King Street and the many trees completely isolate our yards. This allows us to enjoy our home and yard with peace, quiet and privacy. We are also aware that Wayne and Carol are constructing a large home at the comer of King Street and Taunton Road in Hampton, Ontario. We do not object to the size or aesthetics of the home. Sincerely, ~.~ OOJ
