7 Public Meetings
7.1 Application for a Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
Applicant: Heather Holt
Report: PSD-001-16
Robert Russell, Planner, made a verbal and electronic presentation to the Committee
regarding the application.
No one spoke in opposition to the application.
Dan Dissanayake, D.G. Biddle and Associates, spoke on behalf of the applicant. Mr.
Dissanayake thanked staff for processing the application. He explained that they have
submitted applications to the Region of Durham Land Division Committee, in addition to
applying for a Zoning By-law amendment. Mr. Dissanayake continued by explaining the
main issue has been the reduced lot sizes due to the proposed land severances. He
added that the retained portions of 131 Elgin Street on the north lot will have a 12.44
metre lot frontage which complies with the minimum requirement for semi-detached lots.
Mr. Dissanayake added that the proposed middle and south lots have a proposed
frontage of 12.21 and 12.68 metres, which is less than the 15 metre requirement. He
explained that these lots are noted as being in the low end of a range and represent a
marginal decrease. Mr. Dissanayake added that several of the surrounding lots do not
meet the 15 metre requirement. He explained that this application meets the
requirements of the four minor variance tests and meet the intent of the Zoning By-law
and the Official Plan. Mr. Dissanayake concluded by advising that this application is
considered minor in nature, compatible with the existing neighbourhood, and is
consistent with both Regional and Provincial policies.
7.2 Application for a Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
Applicant: Lanarose Properties
Report: PSD-002-16
Cynthia Strike, Principal Planner, made a verbal and electronic presentation to the
Committee regarding the application.
No one spoke in opposition to the application.
Beth Kelly, Valiant Rental Properties, spoke to the application. She explained that they
are the commercial property owners to the east of the site. Ms. Kelly added they are
requesting that new homeowners be advised, prior to purchasing these homes, that
there could be future redevelopment of the property owned by Valiant Rental Properties.
Kelvin Whalen, Lanarose Properties, spoke to the application. Mr. Whalen advised the
Committee he was available to answer any additional questions regarding the
application.
