Crome, M.C.I.P., R.P.P. of Planning Services cJ~-s Cuz Reviewed by: \ Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer BH/CP/DJC/df 20 October 2005 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1 C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 REPORT NO.: PSD-128-05 PAGE 2 1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS 1.1 Applicant/Agent: Gary Goodale 1.2 Location: 4754 Reid Road, Orono Part Lot 11, Concession 4, former Township of Clarke 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Section 3.24 b) of the Municipality of Clarington Zoning By-law 84-63 permits a temporary dwelling unit to be located on a lot for a period of six months while a permitted dwelling is being constructed. The temporary dwelling is to be removed at the expiration of the six month period, or when the new dwelling is occupied. This same provision of the By-law allows Council to approve an extension for the temporary living quarters for a period exceeding the six months originally granted. 2.2 Mr. Goodale submitted a Letter of Undertaking, dated April 25, 2005 as part of the building permit process. This letter stated that he would "One month before the expiry date, request Council's approval to exceed the six month period should it be necessary to complete the construction of the new Single Detached Dwelling." 2.3 On April 25, 2005, together with the issuance of the building permit for a new single detached dwelling and demolition permit for the existing dwelling (built in 1870), permission was granted to Mr. Goodale to continue using his existing dwelling for a period of six months while constructing his new residence at 4754 Reid Road. 2.4 Gary Goodale appeared before Council on October 11, 2005 requesting an extension of Demolition Permit #05-0042. As it appeared Mr. Goodale's request related to a building permit matter, the item was referred to Engineering Services Department. 3.0 COMMENTS 3.1 A Letter of Undertaking allows the construction of a new residential dwelling on the same property as an inhabited existing dwelling for a period of six months. The zoning by-law otherwise restricts the number of single detached dwellings permitted on a lot to one. 3.2 Subsequent to Mr. Goodale's appearance at Council, he has advised that a six month extension is requested due to financial limitations. The security of $13,150.00, posted with the Municipality along with the undertaking described above has made it difficult financially difficult to hire contractors and he is unable to meet the six month deadline doing the construction work himself. REPORT NO.: PSD-128-05 PAGE 3 3.3 As of October 17, the following inspections have been completed: . Backfill . Footings . Plumbing Rough-in 3.4 Construction has been uninterrupted on the new single detached dwelling. The duct and electrical work should be completed shortly and ready for inspection, followed by the vapour barrier and septic system inspections. 3.6 With Council approval, the temporary living quarters may be used for a period not exceeding six months but must be removed once the time period approved by Council expires or with the occupation of the new dwelling. 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 Staff recommends that in accordance with Section 3.24 b) of Zoning By-law 84-63, a six month extension to the temporary living quarters be approved provided that Mr. Goodale signs a new Letter of Undertaking to inhabit the existing Single Detached Dwelling during the construction period of the new Single Detached Dwelling. The extension will expire April 24, 2005. Interested parties to be notified of Council and Committee's decision: Gary Goodale
