4.1 File Number: B-2025-0017
Owner/Agent: Dwayne Glaspell
Staff: Shirja Vora
Address: 3431 Gibson Road, Newcastle
Application:
1. The first consent application before the Committee this evening is File (B-2025-0017) for
the property located at 3431 Gibson Road in Clarke.
2. The purpose of the application is to facilitate a lot boundary adjustment that would result
in 0.06 hectares (approximately 600 square metres) of lot area being transferred from
3431 Gibson Road to Part lot 34, Concession 3. A land division application (LD046-2011)
was approved in 2011 by the Region of Durham’s former Planning and Economic
Development Department for the subject property to facilitate the consolidation of two
farms and the severance of a surplus dwelling resulting from that consolidation. As a
condition of the 2011 land division application, it was required that there be no net
change in the lot area of either parcel in the future. The property owner applied for, and
received, a building permit in 2024 to extend the principal dwelling to the south with a
one-storey addition and garage, in compliance with the zoning provisions. The proposed
lot line adjustment is intended to center the alignment of the existing driveway and
dwelling on the lot. The adjustment would result in Part 1 being transferred to Part Lot
34, Concession 3.A corresponding land division application (B-2025-0018) proposes that
Part 3 be transferred to 3431 Gibson Road. Upon approval of the land division
applications, there will be no net change in the area of either property parcel.
3. Public notification was conducted in accordance with the Planning Act which included
signage being installed on the subject site and a mail out to all property owners within 60
metres of the subject site.
4. No comments were received in opposition to the application from external agencies or
internal departments.
5. No comments were received in opposition to the application from members of the public.
6. Staff recommend that the application be (approved, subject to the conditions within the
staff report).

7.1 File: A-2025-0037
Owner/Agent: Todd Stephens
Staff: Ainsley Johnston
Address: 72 Potters Lane, Enniskillen
Application:
1. The next application before the Committee this evening is File A2025-0037 for 72
Potters Lane in Enniskillen.
2. The purpose of the application is to facilitate the construction of a detached garage by
increasing the total accessory floor area maximum from 90 square metres to 121
square metres.
3. Public notification was conducted in accordance with the Planning Act which included
signage being installed on the subject site and a mail out to all property owners within

4. No comments were received in opposition to the application from external agencies

5. No comments were received in opposition to the application from members of the

Staff recommend that application A2025-0037, for a Minor Variance to Section 4.1.3 of
Zoning By-law 2005-109, be approved.
Discussion:
No members of the public spoke regarding this application.
The owner/applicant, Todd Stephens, states that they have read and agreed to
the conditions of the Staff’s recommendation.
D. Eastman: I don’t think I am comfortable with the fact that there is no legal
driveway to access this. I am wondering why Staff is recommending approval for
something that can’t be used.
A. Johnston When looking at Minor Variance, we are looking at the variance
itself, which is the increase in total accessory floor area. With the Minor Variance,
the variance itself is not of concern to staff. Although there are concerns with the
proposed location as submitted on the concept plan, it can be addressed through
the building permit stage. With an approved variance, they have the possibility to
extend their driveway to the back of the property to access it there. There are no
concerns that it would reduce any of the requirements in the zoning by-law, such
as landscaped area. They currently have over 84%, and including a driveway
would not likely reduce that below the required 35%. It is also a larger lot, and
they have the ability to move it closer to the property line, extend their driveway
slightly there, and still maintain the setbacks.
Minutes – September 25, 2025 Page 11
Committee of Adjustment Meeting
D. Eastman: If I am understanding, the homeowner is not willing to extend the
driveway. Is that correct?
T. Stephens: If I am going to extend the driveway, I will probably move the
building from what is shown on the plan. At the time, I didn’t know how big I could
go so I am looking for more to make the building the size that I want. Because of
the driveway issue, I can move the building around the lot and move it closer to
have access from the front. I did apply for a driveway from the back and that was
denied. Right now, I am looking at moving the building closer to the front and
extending the driveway at the side of the house to the building.
D. Eastman: I am assuming if the building does move, any other variances
identified will be back.
T. Stephens: I have looked at the (RS1) zoning and the only thing concerning
was the overall size. By doing this, I plan to meet all the other setbacks, and I
have lots of room to do that.
A. Johnston: A Minor Variance approval does not approve the location; it just
approves the variance itself. That is why there is no concern. The property is
over 4,300 square metres, and if he moves it closer to the front, there are no
concerns. If it is a smaller lot there may be concerns from Staff about the ability
to situate the structure, but in this case, with the size of the lot there is not the
concern.
D. Eastman: Right, that is why I asked the question, because there could be a
concern depending on where the building goes. Maybe not in this case, but I
think it is a valid question.
Motion to approve A-2025-0037 as recommended by B. Whittle, seconded by G.
Wallace. Time approved 7:08 P.M.
Full text of Decision:
That application A2025-0037, for a Minor Variance to Section 4.1.3 by increasing the
