G. Austin Turner, applicant, accompanied by Mrs. Turner; hir. Jack Hayden, Assistant Business Administrator and Mr. Wm. Carman, Trustee of N & D County Board of Education, Cobourg, Ontario,appeared in support of this application. No other person appeared in support of, or in opposition to this application.' The Secretary -Treasurer reported that 16 notices of the said hearing had been mailed in accordance with Item 5 of the Rules of Procedure. The Secretary -Treasurer presented the following material to the meeting: 1. An unnumbered and undated Plan 10R, prepared by' H.F. Grander OLS., of Merrill D. Brown Limited, Land Survey_ng & Engineering, 121 Queen St., Bowmanville, Ontario, dated June 4, 1973, rile 73113 signed "H.F. Grander"; The Committee listened to the sworn testimony of Mr.4:rs. G.A. Turner, applicants Assistant Business Administrator Mr. Jack Hayden and Trustee i�ir. Wm., Carman. Mr. Turner then indicated on the aforementioned Plan 1OR. the lot with an area of 7.88 acres which he proposes to sell to the N & D County Board of Education. The Committee perused the Zoning By -Law 1653 and accompaning map and determined that the proposed severance of 7.88 acres would be from agricultural lands and would have the effect of severing a small Highway Commercial lot of 200' x 144' on Highway #115. While the Highway Commercial zoning is 250' from the edge of Highway 4115 in the Commercial Zone, the exist- ing lots are all 200' in depth and the proposed severance of 7.88 acres abuts the line which crosses the rear of all existing Commercial lots on Highway 4115,. namely, at the distance of 200' from the easterly edge of Highway #115/435. The Committee noted that while Plan IOR shows the lands to be severed, it did not show abutting properties. The area of 7.88 acres lies to the south of the existing Clarke High School and, in effect, is an enlargement of an existing holding and an existing use. The land being purchased by the school board is for the purpose of constructing a new Senior Elementary School. The Committee were assured by the Board's Representatives that this school was essential for the proper function of the board in the area to provide a proper educational programme for students in the Newcastle, Clarke and Orono area. The Board's Representatives further stipulated that they wished to'proceed with their plans in the immediate future. Accordipgly, the Committee,being fully aware of the nature of the pro.)erty from having inspected Mr. Turner's property on previous occasions, decided to waive their site visit and deal with the matter forthwith. This application was granted on motion by K. Schoenmaker and seconded by E.F.R. Osborne. carried. CLASSIFICATIC'N 10 "A" Page 4 Committee of ;kdjustment i•ieeti ng June 11, 1973. Application File "B"14-73 John Edward Carscadden,Owner, Kendal, Ontario, W. Kay Lycett Q.C., Agent, Barrister J Solicitor, Orono, Ontario, for part of Lot 17,Con 71 Township of Clarke, Submission No. "B"14-73-14 As business arising from the minutes of meeting April 242 1973, this application was brought forward for further consideration. Dir. John Edward Carscadden, applicant, accompanied by Dr. Robert Deighton Wilson Guselle, 45 Connaught St., Oshawa, Ontario, the proposed purchaser, appeared in support of this application. No other person appeared in supkort of, or in opposition to this application. As a matter of record the whole Committee inspected this property on A:ay 16, 1973 and noted that this was not particularly good farmland being hilly and sandy with heavy coniferous growth. Its best use would be as "recreational" property. Several summer properties were noted in the vicinity. Dr,. Robert Guselley under oath, presented a draft plan 10R, prepared by Merrill U. Bro�•n Limited, Land Surveying & Engineering, 121 Queen Street, Bowmanville, Ontario, File 73117, dated June 7, 1973, signed "H.F. Grander" and indicated the following: (a) part (1) is the property he wishes to purchase; (b) part (2) is a connecting strip running south from the road frontage to part (3) to the main land holding (part 1) (c) part (3) this area fronts on a well used public road. Dr. Guselle explained that he would purchase part (3) fronting on the road allowance between concessions 7 & 0. This would meet the requirements for a 330' frontage and would provide an adequate entrance to the property. The applicant also has several 100' on the road running north and south between Lots 16 & 17, but as this is not an improved road the frontage on this road would not qualify application for a building permit. I1.r. John E. Carscadden, under oath, st=ted that he still owns land east and west. The Committee were of the ooinion that parts (2) and (3) on the Flan 10R were. sought to be acquired by the proposed purchaser solely for the particular purpose of giving him access to part (1). The effect of deeding part (2) and (3) would be to create an undersize severance to the east of the said part (2) and (3). This would undesirable from a planning point of view, although if it were an unavoidable consequence to grant access to part (1) it might have to be allowed on the explicit understanding on the part of its owner I,:r. Carscadden that no building permit would issue if the lot was created. There is apparently a possibility that the Township will be open- ing and improving the road allow-ance between lots 16 & 17 which lies on the easterly portion of part (1). If this is their intention and if access could then be obtained to part (1) from the said road allowance to the east the situation would be resolved in a manner more in accordance with good planning practice. If, on the other hind, the road allowance is not to b:- opened the Committee would reconsider the matter, but, in the meantime the Committee decided to remand the matter to the next sitting to see what action, if any the Township Council may have taken in the matter as the Council is actively considering the situation. The Secret -Dry -Treasurer was instructed to send a col:y of this interim decision to the Reeve in Council and to the applicant's solicitor W. Kay Lycett Q.C. Crono, Ontario. Application adjourned for further consideration at the next meeting, July 23, 1973.

Mr. A. Van der Spruit, applicant, accompanied by his wife Mrs. Van der Spruit appeared in support of this application. No other person appeared in support of, or in opposition to this application.

Osborne conducted the hearing of this case. As a matter of record the Committee inspected this property at 6:40 p.m. I,Say 16, 1973. At that time Mr. K. Schoenmaker, member of the Committee, stated that as the applicant was related to him by marriage, he would withdraw from any further participation in the matter. The Committee inspected the yard and buildings and noted that the present house sits very close to the road. The house was; apparently constructed for hired help on the now adjoining Ulmont Bullock farm and was not a building of outstanding architechual merit. The applicant proposes to tear down the existing house and build a new one which is an obvious improvement. The location of the proposed new house was staked out on the ground and I°irs. Van der Spruit showed the Committee the stakes. The Committee noted that the new house would be back of the established building line and a road widening would not present any problem with the relocation. The property is on the "Leskard Road" a we,11 travelled, hard surfaced road running north and south, northwest of the Police Village of Crcno and the larger set back is most desirable. Mr. A. Van der Spruit being reminded that he was still under oath confirmed that he wished to demolish the existing dwelling and build a new dwelling.

This is a simple case of an adjustment of a boundary between two neighbours; 3. The number of houses and the gross frontage and acreage of the two properties remains the same; 4.

Lycett explained that Mr. Drewniak had purchased a parcel of land from Mrs. Hill's father. It was created without I;enefit of survey and when surveyed the father gave more than he intended. Mr. Drewniak should have the land outlined in "black" on the said Plan of Survey and if they can agree on that, this is a very simple matter. Mrs. E. Hill, under oath, explained that the lot in question had been measured by metes and bounds and the Plan of Survey as prepered by "Terrill D.

Yeo: ,,In reply to ,your '--ay 24th7 1973 notice, the United Counties objects to the applied for severance. It is our understanding that there has been drainage problems in the vicinity of the pro;osed severance for a considerable period of time. Filling in the low area and erecting a dwelling can only aggravate the problem. In addition, the new lot will require a new entance onto the County Road. Each new entrance onto an arterial or through road continues the process of altering the original purpose of the road." Mr. William Gordon as agent, under oath, submitted the following facts.- 1. acts: 1. This property was surveyed on November 15, 1968 by i�;.D. Brown CLS., Bowmanville, Ontario and registered as two separate lots - (a) 1-37896 being the north lot; and (b) 437894. being the south lot in the name of Lezam Investments Limited, Incorporated under the LaiAs of Ontario and are shown in the records of the Township of Clarke Municipal Office as 78-094; and 48-095, part of Lot 9, Concession 4; 2. A deed from Lezam Investments Limited to Mrs. B -,-hr's name was registered as N37895, under date of 18th May, 1971; 3. There are two lots with an arca of 75' x 300' each. The Committee perused and discussed .the letter received from the Counties' Engineer & Road Superintendent's office, Cobourg, Ontario and P:r. Gordon stated that these are tile drained lots. The County road Dept. built up the road and neglected to lower the culvert and the alleged drainage problem is not caused by any run off from the lots, but in fact, is caused by the position of the culvert. Page 18 Aieeting Committee of Adjustment, June 11, 1973: Air. Gordon also stated that the. eal Estate Salesman who was handl=ng the sale of these lots is now deceased and the records were not available in time for the meeting. The information presented by him was to the best of his knowledge. Application adjourned to enable the Committee to inspect the property. ) As a matter of record the whole Committee inspected the J property on Junc 12, 1973 and noted the 1%,nd is definitely in a low lying area. Whether or not the drainage is sufficient or inadequate is immaterial to whether or not the lots should be severed, and severance is now the question before the Committee. The Committee referred to the specific letter of objection from the Counties' engineer dated June 1st, 1973 and also referred to the former general policy letter on multiple entrances dated May 99 1973 which indicates that the objections herein to multiple entrances is a general policy. The Committee considered the following facts: 1. These lots are in an agricultural zone. The minimum lot size required is 40 acres and the aninimum frontage required is 330' (appendix 1, sub sec. (a) (b)). In an Agricultural Zone it is Nossible that a farmer may "retain a lot", such a lot would be subject to the sale of his farm, be a minimum size of one acre and have a frontage of 1501 (appendix 1, sub sec. (j). The Committee cannot see how they could reduce the lot frontage to'75' and the lot size to 75' x 300' applied for; 2. The two lots were apparently held under separate deeds, but they merged. The fact that there are two entries for these lots on the Assessment Rolls and two separate tax bills does not grant a severance within the meaning of the Flanning P.ct; The Committee were of the opinion the applicant had not established a case that a severance should be granted and the application was refused on motion by E.F.R.

The variance requested is from the required 4' sideyard to 3' 4" sideye,d, a matter of 8". The extension will be built to the rear of the house and the side— yard will increase because the house is angled to the side of the lot so that if the extension was long enough the sideyard clearance would remain 41. Applic�tlon adjourned to enable the Committee to inspect the property. As a matter of record the whole Committee inspected this property on June 12, 1973 and noted the following facts: 1. The neighbour's garage to the west was •%ery close to the building line; 2. The existing shed, to be demolished, had the interior lath removed so the 2 X 4's were visible; 3. The pro;erty is within the limits of the Police Village of Grono where, in many cases, minor variances occur in sideyards; 4. The demolition of the present "shed style" addition to the house and the construction of a new type addition by extending the present walls of the house strai�!ht back would improve the appearance of the existing structure and the v=riance is slight and decreasing; The Committee felt that no basic prevision of the relevant &y—Laws was being viol.,ted and the application could pro:erly be classed as a "minor variance".

The Committee recalled that a Flan of Survey, presented at the meeting held on April 25, 1973, revealed that there was sufficient frontage for the lot concerned and, therefore, the application was unnecessary. This was not known previously because it is the policy of the Committee to permit people to make an application without submitting a formal Flan of Survey. The Committee do, however, require a proper clan of Survey to be submitted before the final decision is given and this is when the error was revealed.
