SUBJECT: COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT APPLICATION

PART LOT 31, CONCESSION 4, FORMER TWP. OF DARLINGTON 'c 0
FILE: A 72/86
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-305-86 be received; and
2. THAT the decision of the Committee of Adjustment to permit an accessory building of
1,536 square feet, for the storage and service of a transport truck cab, be
appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
On November 12, 1986, the Planning Department received a request from the Committee of
Adjustment to comment upon an application for a minor variance. The application was to
permit an accessory building which would exceed the maximum permitted lot coverage.
The site is within the Hamlet of Mitchell 's Corners and is designated as "Residential " in
the Official Plan. Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, of the Town of Newcastle shows the
site as being in the "Residential Hamlet (RH)" zone.

REPORT NO. : PD-305-86 Page 2 /
The application as filed, appeared to be requesting a variance for a
building which would be used for vehicles customarily associated with a
residential use. In the comments to the Committee, Staff were concerned
with the excessive size of the building. Staff recommended that the
building be scaled down to that of a double car garage with storage.
At the meeting it was made clear that the main function of this building was
to be the storage of and servicing of a large commercial vehicle. The
Zoning By-law is designed to prevent the storage of such vehicles within the
residential areas of the Town. Such a use is much more appropriate within
the "Industrial " and "Agricultural " zones and the By-law has made provisions
for this type of use in these zones.
Staff is concerned about the noise and the pollution which can be caused by
a use such as this. Staff also does not believe that such a use is in
keeping with the intent of the "Residential Hamlet" zone. This zone permits
only single detached dwellings, home occupations and places of worship; none
of which would normally be associated with transport trucks.
Staff does not consider this type of use appropriate and recommends that the
decision be appealed prior to the final date for appeal of December 26,
1986.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
