THAT the Addendum to Report PD-10-92 be received; 2 . THAT Report PD-10-92 be lifted from the table; 3 . THAT the by-law amendment within Report PD-10-92 be replaced with attached amending by-law; and 4 . THAT the recommendations contained therin be APPROVED. 1. BACKGROUND 1. 1 Report PD-10-92 was tabled by the General Purpose and Administration Committee on February 3 , 1992 in order to allow Staff to address the following concerns of the area residents. a) parking b) sidewalks C) slope of lot d) style of building e) traffic 1. 2 The applicant has advised the Planning and Development that the maximum number of employees on the site would be five (5) . In addition, each unit would have the use of one (1) mini van. Therefore, the applicant would have to provide seven (7) parking spaces. The applicant has provided Staff with a sketch which 1) (.), �) . . . .2 L J t REPORT NO. PD-10-92 PAGE 2 illustrates how the applicant could accommodate eight (8) vehicles. The Planning and Development Department has found this to be acceptable and the sketch is attached for the Committee's information. 1. 3 The Public Works Department has reviewed the issues of sidewalks on Monroe Street. The Public Works Department advised that Munroe Street is drained with culverts and open ditches. It is generally not possible to find room on the road allowance to construct sidewalks when the roads are drained by open ditches. In addition, as shown on Attachment # 2 , the surrounding area is generally not serviced with sidewalks. Therefore, the Public Works Department has concluded that the provision of a sidewalk on Monroe Street would serve little purpose. 1.4 An area resident raised a concern regarding the location of the proposed use in relation to the slope of the property. Staff advise that the application was circulated to both the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources and both of these agencies had no objection to the location of the building. 1.5 A fourth concern raised by an area resident was the style of the building. The Planning and Development Department notes that the structure is a semi-detached dwelling which maintains the By-law's standard front yard setback, rear yard setback, lot coverage and landscaping. In addition, at the suggestion of Staff, the applicant has agreed to reduce the driveway widths from 6 metres (19 . 68 ft. ) to 3 metres (9 . 84 ft. ) in order to maintain the residential character of the neighbourhood. 1. 6 Finally, the issue of traffic generated by the use was also raised by an area resident. Staff advise that the proposed structure is a semi-detached dwelling. Planning legislation does not allow the municipality to limit the number of people who live as one - � 203 . . . .3 REPORT NO.

Therefore, legally the use is a residential use and the municipality. cannot limit the number of visitors which citizens receive whether the use is a standard residential dwelling or a dwelling such as the one proposed in the current application. In addition, Staff advise that a three (3) hour parking limit is permitted on local roads within the Town of Newcastle. 1.7 The attached amending By-law should replace the By-law attached to Report PD-10-92 . The proposed building does not contain an attached garage with either unit and the standard zone requirements would require a 3 metre side yard setback within which vehicles could be parked. The applicant proposes to provide parking in the front yard in accordance with Attachment No. 1 and a side yard setback of 1. 6 metres. Therefore, the attached amending By-law would permit the reduced side yard setback. 2 . CONCLUSION 2 . 1 In view of the comments contained within this Addendum Report, Staff recommends that Report PD-10-92 be lifted from the table and that the recommendations therein be APPROVED and that the By-law included with Report PD-10-92 be replaced with the attached amending by-law.
