2. Background
2.1 On August 23, 2024, Planning Staff received an application for minor variance from the
agent of 7806 Old Scugog Road, Enniskillen. A minor variance application was
submitted to facilitate the construction of a single detached dwelling by decreasing the
minimum interior side yard setback from 5 metres to 2.2 metres, by increasing the
maximum lot coverage from 15% to 25% and by increasing the maximum projected
attached garage height from 3 metres to 4.5 metres.
3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses
3.1 The subject property is located west of Old Scugog Road and south of Regional Road 3
(See Figure 1). The property's lot area is approximately 1,194 square metres in size
and has approximately 18.67 metres of frontage with an approximate depth of 63.98
metres.
3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows:
a. South — Rural Residential Lands with single detached dwellings
b. North- Rural Residential Lands with single detached dwellings
c. East — Rural Residential Lands with single detached dwellings
d. West —Agricultural Lands
4. Public Notice and Submissions
4.1 Pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage notifying of
the application was installed on the subject lands. In addition, the appropriate notice
was mailed to each landowner within 60m of the subject site.
4.2 At the time of writing this report, staff have not received any inquiries regarding the
proposal.
5. Departmental and Agency Comments
5.1 Clarington Development Engineering Division has no objections subject to the
comments. (See Attachment 1).

6. Discussion
Maintain the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan
6.1 The subject property is designated Hamlet within the Clarington Official Plan.
6.2 The Hamlet designation permits the residential use. The proposed residential use of
the property conforms with the intent of the Clarington Official Plan.
Maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law
6.3 Within Zoning By-law 2005-109, the subject lands are located within the "Rural
Settlement One (RS1) Zone". The proposed use is permitted within the "Rural
Settlement One" zone.
6.4 The provisions for lands in the Rural Settlement Zone require a less dense development
form than that found in urban areas. Zoning By-law 2005-109 enforces increased yard
setbacks to help ensure appropriate lot coverage and landscape areas are marinated
and in conformity with the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the Clarington
Official Plan policies. The intent of the Zoning By-law with respect to lot coverage for
dwellings is to maintain an adequate amount of open space on each lot for amenity area
and drainage purposes. The proposed 10% increase in maximum permitted lot
coverage for the dwelling sought by this application will not have a detrimental impact
on the amount of amenity space available (See Attachment 2).
6.5 The intent of the required minimum interior side yard setback is to ensure adequate
separation from neighbouring properties, ensure appropriate clearance access to the
rear of the dwelling in events of emergency, and allow for proper drainage on the
property. The proposed reduction to the interior side yard setback will maintain sufficient
distance between the proposed single detached dwelling and the interior side lot line.
The Clarington Development Engineering Division has reviewed the application and has
no objections to the minor variance proposal.
6.6 The zoning regulations do not prohibit the construction of a one or two -car attached
garage if there is sufficient lot frontage. The intent of these regulations is to prevent
attached garages from extending too far in front of the building facade, which can lead
to snout houses. Although the proposed attached garage projects less than the
maximum permitted 2 meters, its height needs to be greater in order to accommodate
larger personal vehicles. The maximum height for detached garages within Zoning By-
law 2005-109 is 4.5 meters. Therefore, raising the height of the attached garage to 4.5
meters aligns with the height limits set for detached garages.
6.7 It is Staff's opinion that the application conforms to the intent and purpose of the Zoning
By-law.
Municipality of Clarington
Committee of Adjustment A2024-0039

Desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure
6.8 The appropriate use of the land is residential. The proposed single detached dwelling is
in keeping with the characteristics and existing dwellings along Old Scugog Road within
the Hamlet of Enniskillen. The proposed single detached dwelling and the attached
garage does not dominate the streetscape.
6.9 The proposed single detached dwelling maintains sufficient outdoor amenity space, and
there is natural screening along all lot lines from trees and vegetation that contributes to
privacy from neighbouring properties.
6.10 For the above stated reasons, it is staff's opinion that the minor variance requested is
desirable for the residential use of land and building.
Minor in Nature
6.11 Staff considers this application to be minor in nature and not detrimental to the
neighbourhood. The proposal will have no impact to the visible streetscape and will be
in line with the existing neighbourhood characteristics. Further, this proposal will not
have a negative impact on neighbouring properties or the usability of the subject
property as sufficient outdoor amenity space will be maintained. Therefore, the increase
in maximum permitted lot coverage, reduction in interior side yard setback, and
maximum attached garage (projected) height is minor, given that the intent of the
Zoning By -Law is met.
7. Conclusion
7.1 Given the above comments, staff recommend approval of the application for a Minor
Variance to Section 8.3.1. b., Section 8.3.1.c. and Section 4.2.2 by facilitating the
construction of a single detached dwelling by decreasing the minimum interior side yard
setback from 5 metres to 2.2 metres, by increasing the maximum lot coverage from
15% to 25% and by increasing the maximum projected attached garage height from 3
metres to 4.5 metres, be approved as it maintains the general intent and purpose of
the Clarington Official Plan, and the Zoning By-law 2005-109, desirable for the
appropriate development or use of the land and minor in nature, subject to the
following Gffg 1%2 existing accessory structures be removed at the time of receiving
building occupancy approval for the proposed single detached dwelling.
