Discussion:
Interested Party G. Canonaco: Spoke regarding his concerns about Block 40, which
is the parcel of land located just north of 221 Liberty St fronting on Redfern Crescent.
G. Canonaco feels it has been disregarded in the processing of this application. He
then mentions that Block 40 is a noticeable size with 150 square meters in lot area
and a 4.14 meter frontage onto Redford Crescent and his main concern is how the
block would be left if this application moves forward. He then asks a question,
directed towards staff, "how will block 40 remain an empty parcel and a sizable gap
between houses forever? Could this parcel be used to its potential and contribute in
some way to the neighborhood streetscape? He is also worried this space will remain
as a dead space when development begins to occur around it. G. Canonaco also
believes that the development in itself would come from this application and is
concerned that it does not meet the density required as it should match the R1 zoning
requirements, which a majority of the rest of the street holds. He also mentions that
the suggested parts fronting onto Redfern Crescent do not suggest "R1" zoning and
therefore distort the configuration and patterns of the lots. He clarifies that his
question for staff is: "whether or not staff can introduce a condition through the
subject application that would require amalgamation or use of block 407'
L. Pronk: Confirms, unfortunately, that the condition of a consent application is not
an appropriate tool for staff to require anything of adjacent property owners because
those aren't the lands that are being considered as part of the application.
G. Wallace: States that he received this interested parties concerns minutes before
the meeting. He then asks a question directed to staff: "Is there anything about the
environmental condition that's a concern for the application?"
J. Circo: Informs the Committee that there are no concerns with regards to the
previous use of that existing accessory building on the lot. We have received no
objections from our Development Engineering Division, Building Division, Fire &
Emergency Services Department, or the Regional Municipality of Durham with
regards to any contamination of the subject lands.
L. Pronk: Adds onto J. Circo's response: "there is a phase one environmental site
assessment or a site screening questionnaire that's required by the Regional
Municipality of Durham as a condition of the approval. The Region will require that
that it is prepared by a qualified professional, meaning that any, potential
contaminants or former uses on the site would be flagged through that process and
reviewed by the Region of Durham".
G. Canonaco: Asks a question directed towards staff: "what will happen to block 40 if
the application goes forward? What is the future for block 40?"
J. Circo: Responds to Interested Party, G. Canonaco, "Staff understand that Block
40 is privately owned residual land from the Plan of Subdivision to the north and east
of the subject lands. We understand that this parcel was retained for future
development and was not required to facilitate any type of easement, public use,
servicing or road connection. The applicants indicated to Staff that they reached out
to the owners of Block 40 to ask if they were interested in selling and that they were
not. The Municipality is not involved in the sale of private land, nor involved in
agreements between private landowners to redevelop adjacent parcels of land".
Minutes — July 25, 2024 Page 4
Committee of Adjustment Meeting
D. Eastman: States that he is trying to understand the connection. He then asks a
question directed towards staff, "Mr. Cononaco was the developer of this and thinks
that parcel should be included?"
L. Pronk: Responds to D. Eastman's question: "The easement with respect to
context, I guess for this comment, my understanding is that Mr. Cononaco is one of
the property owners for Block 40 which is associated with the Plan of Subdivision
east of the subject lands that are being considered for the consent application
tonight. So that Plan of Subdivision exists today. It's already been built out and this is
a remnant block that was associated with that overall development. I understand that
this block was retained with hopes of future development for it, but it doesn't sound
like there's been a resolution reached between the adjacent property owners for its
development potential. Which Staff are ultimately, like Jacob mentioned, not involved
in".
Chair T. Taylor: Notes to G. Canonaco that he can only ask one more question.
G. Canonaco: Asks one final question: "What will happen to Block 40 then, once the
application goes forward, what can it be used for? Will it remain just an empty piece
of land or can it be used towards something else?"
L: Pronk: Responds to G. Canonaco: "Staff have not spoken to the property owner of
Block 40 about its potential development, potential on its own. It has been a locked
parcel of land that's fragmented and left from that Plan of Subdivision. That Plan of
Subdivision, frankly, predates me, so I am not sure what the motivation was for that
block at the time, but we have confirmed that it's not required for servicing easement
access, etc with our Legal Division. You can continue to have conversations with
Staff about the fate of that block. As mentioned, it is not Staff's purview to adjudicate
the matters between adjacent landowners".
Agent R. Best: Addresses and clarifies that he does not want to get into any kind of
disagreement with anybody, but the owner of the block was approached to sell, and
they said they were not interested in selling. No one was left out. The agent then
speaks about the overview of the application and confirms that the applicant has read
and agreed to the conditions of the Staff's recommendations.

Committee of Adjustment Meeting
6. Staff recommended that the application be tabled due to Regional Health
Comments requesting additional information. It's worth noting that additional
revised comments were received from the Region of Durham Health Division on the
afternoon of July 25t", 2024. However, Staff have not had a chance to review these
comments and have not drafted conditions for the proposed consent application.
Accordingly, we are still recommending that the application be tabled. Staff will
review the comments to prepare a recommendation to the Committee for the next
meeting.
Discussion:
Interested Party, A. Armstrong: Asks a question directed towards staff. "Is this lot
going to be zoned to be residential or is it just sever the lot?"
J. Circo: Answers Interested Party A. Armstrong questions: "The application will
consist of the "Residential Hamlet (RH)" zoning only, with the permission for one
single detached dwelling, and in addition to that, we are not recommending approval
at this time for the application, and we are only recommending tabling".
L. Pronk: Also mentions that: "we saw and received the email regarding Ms.
Armstrong's comments just before the meeting. Given that this application we are
recommending that the application be tabled, should the Committee choose to table
the application, it'll be brought forward to a future meeting, at which point we'll write a
recommendation report, and we could include your comments in that
recommendation report and our response to those comments".
A. Armstrong: Question directed towards staff. She would like confirmation that she
will be notified if this application is brought to the next meeting, then so that we can
attend?
L. Pronk: Confirms that A. Armstrong will be added as an interested party to this
application and will be notified when it is brought back off of the tabling by the
Committee of Adjustment.
Applicant, C. Merkas: spoke on the overview of the application. She then mentions
that they were waiting for comments from the Durham Health Department, which
came through today. After reading the comments, they don't have any issues with
application.
Motion to table the application was then put through.
C. Merkas: Asks a question as she does not understand what has happened. She
asks a question regarding a tabling fee and next steps.
Minutes — July 25, 2024
Committee of Adjustment Meeting
Page 12
L. Pronk: Proceeds to explain Cynthia Markus's questions. Lucy mentions that there
is a tabling fee that is associated with the work that then staff must do to prepare for
the subsequent meeting. You can have subsequent discussions with Jacob about
payment of that fee and anything associated with that and the and in terms of next
steps. As Jacob mentioned, we do intend to bring this application back to the next
meeting given that we received the comments today. Now that we know that they are
here but unfortunately haven't had a chance to review them and prepare the
associated conditions for the staff report. Lucy then explains that the two-year tabling
is a deadline. It can be tabled for up to two years and so, as Jacob mentioned, we still
intend to bring it to the next meeting, barring our review of those comments that were
received today and our preparation of the associated conditions for the for the
recommendation. The two years is as long as it can possibly take the intention of staff
is to bring it much sooner than that.
C. Merkas: Would like confirmation that she needs to wait for further emails and
communication through Jacob with regards to this matter.
L. Pronk: Confirms, that is correct. You can have any follow up discussions with
Jacob with respect to process for the subsequent meeting.
C. Merkas: Confirms she understands and mentions that her minor variance
application will also be tabled.
Motion to be table B2024-0018 as recommended by Dave Eastman, seconded by
Wendy Partner.

major application. How is 30 meters down to 18.29 minor as this is almost cut in half.
How is this minor?
L. Pronk: States at this point: "My response would be that staff haven't made a
recommendation for you tonight. We haven't given a justification or any criteria with
respect to whether the four tests for that application have been met and so feel free
to store that question and ask it when we make a future recommendation".

9. Other Business
W. Partner: Asks a question regarding the same applications and why we couldn't do a
consent agenda as opposed to doing each one individually.
L. Pronk: States that we haven't done that previously with the Committee of Adjustment.
Typically, that's just what we do for Planning & Development Committee. This is
something for staff to consider and we could discuss with Clerks Division from a process
