Overview:
Brent Nuttall owns the property at 2090 Preston Road in part of Lot 23, Concession 12
of the Cavan Ward. A key map showing the location of the property is provided as
Attachment No. 1 to this Report.
The subject property is an existing lot of record approximately 0.17 square metres (0.41
acres) in size with approximately 32 metres (105 feet) of frontage on Preston Road.
The property is currently developed with a single detached dwelling and a tin shed. Mr.
Nuttall is proposing to build an attached garage and breezeway on the south side of the
house. The new garage and breezeway will be approximately 107.3 square metres
(1155 square feet) in size. A schematic plan of the proposed addition is provided as
Attachment No. 2 to this Report.
The new garage is proposed to be setback approximately 1.68 metres (5.5 feet) from
the south side lot line. The new garage will be located too close to the southern side lot
line to satisfy the current minimum side yard width requirement of 6 metres (19.7 feet).
As such, a minor variance is required to reduce the minimum side yard width
requirement of the Rural Residential Exception One (RR-1) Zone.
The purpose of the proposed variance is to reduce the minimum side yard depth
requirement, as it applies to this property, from 6 metres (19.7 feet) to 1.6 metres (5.25
feet). All other regulations of the Rural Residential Exception One (RR-1) Zone will
continue to apply to the property.
Notice of the minor variance application was circulated, by first class prepaid mail, to all
assessed persons within 60 metres (200 feet) of the subject property and to all required
ministries and agencies. A sign was posted on the Preston Road frontage of the
property.
7
Notice of the application was also circulated to all Township Department Heads. At the
time of the writing of this report, the Planning Department had received written
confirmation from the Clerk and the Chief Building Official that they have no comments
about or objections to the application.
Bell Canada and the Ministry of Natural
Resource and Forestry also confirmed, in writing, that they have no objection to the
proposed variance.
Planning Review
Section 45 of the Planning Act provides the tests that must be satisfied to support a
minor variance application. The tests are as follows:
1.
Does the minor variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official
Plan?
The subject property is currently designated Hamlet in the Township’s Official Plan.
Residential land uses are permitted in the Hamlet designation. The property is an
existing lot of record in a residential area. The addition to the existing residential use
will be compatible with the existing development in the area.
2.
Does the minor variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning
By-law?
The subject property is zoned the Rural Residential Exception One (RR-1) Zone.
Residential uses are permitted in this Zone. The Rural Residential Exception One (RR1) Zone also recognize the existing lot area, lot frontage and setbacks as they existed
on the date of passing of the By-law (October 2004).
The location and size of the proposed addition complies with all zoning by-law
regulations except the minimum side yard width requirement. The encroachment will
not adversely affect the use and enjoyment of adjacent property. There is a large solid
hedgerow between the proposed garage and the adjacent property to the south.
3.
Is the proposed use desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land?
A single detached dwelling is permitted on the property. An attached garage is common
for a residential use. The proposed development is generally compatible with the
existing development in the area.
4
Is the variance minor?
The proposed variance is minor in nature. The variance does not affect the permitted
uses on the property. The lot can accommodate the proposed garage and breezeway
addition within the existing lot coverage requirements. The garage will meet the
standard minimum front yard depth and rear yard depth requirements.
8
After hearing public comment and considering all written submissions, the Committee
has the following options:
1.
2.
3.
4.
approve the minor variance with no conditions;
approve the minor variance with conditions;
defer the minor variance for further consideration at a later date; or
reject the minor variance.
Financial Impact:
None at this time.

Overview:
Greg and Brandi Nelson own the property at 1433 Stewart Line. The property is
described as Lot 9, Plan 126 in part of Lot 19, Concession 11 of the Cavan Ward. A
key map showing the location of the property is provided as Attachment No. 1 to this
Report.
The subject property is an existing lot of record approximately 0.137 hectares (0.34
acres) in size with approximately 30.48 metres (100 feet) of frontage on Stewart Line.
The property is currently developed with a single detached dwelling, a detached shed
and a swimming pool.
The owners of the property are proposing to build a new entrance extension and an
attached garage. The new garage will be approximately 66.9 square metres (720
square feet) in size and will be located to the west of the existing single detached
dwelling. The proposed entrance extension will be approximately 7.4 square metres (80
square feet) in size and will be located in front of the existing dwelling. A schematic
plan of the proposed additions is provided as Attachment No. 2 to this Report.
The new garage is proposed to be setback approximately 11 metres (36 feet) from the
front lot line, approximately 6.4 metres (21 feet) from the western side lot line and
approximately 27.05 metres (88.75 feet) from the rear lot line.
The new garage will be located too close to the front lot line to satisfy the current front
yard depth requirement of the Rural Residential Exception One (RR-1) Zone. As such, a
minor variance is required to reduce the minimum front yard depth requirement of the
Rural Residential Exception One (RR-1) Zone.
12
The purpose of the proposed variance is to reduce the minimum front yard depth
requirement, as it applies to this property, from 15 metres (49.2 feet) to 11 metres (36
feet). All other regulations of the Rural Residential Exception One (RR-1) Zone will
continue to apply to the property.
Notice of the minor variance application was circulated, by first class prepaid mail, to all
assessed persons within 60 metres (200 feet) of the subject property and to all required
ministries and agencies. A sign was posted on the Stewart Line frontage of the
property.
Notice of the application was also circulated to all Township Department Heads. At the
time of the writing of this report, the Planning Department had received written
confirmation from the Clerk and the Chief Building Official that they have no comments
about or objections to the application.
Bell Canada and the Ministry of Natural
Resource and Forestry also confirmed, in writing, that they have no objection to the
proposed variance.
Planning Review
Section 45 of the Planning Act provides the tests that must be satisfied to support a
minor variance application. The tests are as follows:
1.
Does the minor variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official
Plan?
The subject property is currently designated Rural in the Township’s Official Plan.
Single dwelling houses on existing lots of record are permitted provided they are
compatible with adjacent land uses.
The subject property is part of a row of existing single detached dwellings. The use is
compatible with the existing uses in the area.
2.
Does the minor variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning
By-law?
The subject property is zoned the Rural Residential Exception One (RR-1) Zone.
Residential uses are permitted in this Zone. The Rural Residential Exception One (RR1) Zone also recognize the existing lot area, lot frontage and setbacks as they exist on
the date of passing of the By-law (October 2004).
The location and size of the proposed addition complies with all zoning by-law
regulations except the minimum front yard depth requirement. The encroachment will
not adversely affect the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties nor will it adversely
affect Township interests. Wayne Hancock, the Director of Public Works has visited the
site and confirmed that he has no objection to the proposed variance.
13
3.
Is the proposed use desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land?
A single detached dwelling is permitted on the property. The adjacent land uses are
residential. The existing house is similar in size and shape similar to the existing
residential uses immediately adjacent to the property. The proposed addition is
generally compatible with the existing development in the area.
4
Is the variance minor?
The proposed variance is minor in nature. The variance does not affect the permitted
uses on the property. The lot can accommodate the proposed garage and entrance
addition within the existing lot coverage requirements. The encroachment into the front
yard depth will not adversely affect adjacent property owners or Township interests.
After hearing public comment and considering all written submissions, the Committee
has the following options:
1.
2.
3.
4.
approve the minor variance with no conditions;
approve the minor variance with conditions;
defer the minor variance for further consideration at a later date; or

_____________________________________________________________________
Overview:
David Kirkwood owns the property at 943 Morton Line in part of Lot 13, Concession 9 of
the Cavan Ward. A key map showing the location of the property is provided as
Attachment No. 1 to this Report.
The subject property is an existing lot of record approximately 0.20 hectares (0.50
acres) in size with approximately 50.3 metres (165 feet) of frontage on Morton Line.
The property is currently developed with a single detached dwelling, a detached garage
and a wood shelter. The owner of the property is proposing to demolish the existing
garage and build a new detached garage with an attached carport.
The new garage will be approximately 66.9 square metres (720 square feet) in size.
The attached carport will be approximately 26.8 square metres (288 square feet) in size.
The new garage and attached carport will be located to the east of the existing single
detached dwelling. A schematic plan of the proposed detached garage and carport is
provided as Attachment No. 2 to this Report.
The new garage is proposed to be setback approximately 15.24 metres (50 feet) from
the front lot line, approximately 14 metres (46 feet) from the rear lot line and
approximately 1.2 metres (4 feet) from the eastern side lot line. The new garage and
attached carport will be located too close to the eastern side lot line to satisfy the
current side yard width requirement for a detached accessory building. As such, a minor
variance is required.
The purpose of the proposed variance is to reduce the minimum side yard width
requirement for accessory buildings, as it applies to this property, from 3 metres (10
feet) to 1.2 metres (4 feet).
17
The variance will also recognize the minimum lot area, minimum lot frontage, minimum
front yard depth, minimum side yard width and minimum rear yard depth relative to the
property and the existing buildings and structures on the property. The minimum lot
area requirement will be reduced from 20 hectares (49.4 acres) to 0.20 hectares (0.50
acres), the minimum lot frontage requirement will be reduced from 130 metres (426.5
feet) to 50.3 metres (165 feet), the minimum front yard depth requirement will be
reduced from 30 metres (98.4 feet) to 15.24 metres (50 feet), the minimum side yard
width requirement will be reduced from 4 metres (13 feet) to 1.5 metres (5 feet) and the
minimum rear yard depth requirement will be reduced from 6 metres (19.7 feet) to 3.35
metres (11 feet). All other regulations of the Rural (RU) Zone will continue to apply to
the property.
Notice of the minor variance application was circulated, by first class prepaid mail, to all
assessed persons within 60 metres (200 feet) of the subject property and to all required
ministries and agencies. A sign was posted on the Morton Line frontage of the property.
Notice of the application was also circulated to all Township Department Heads. At the
time of the writing of this report, the Planning Department had received written
confirmation from the Clerk and the Chief Building Official that they have no comments
about or objections to the application.
Bell Canada and the Ministry of Natural
Resource and Forestry also confirmed, in writing, that they have no objection to the
proposed variance.
Planning Review
Section 45 of the Planning Act provides the tests that must be satisfied to support a
minor variance application. The tests are as follows:
1.
Does the minor variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official
Plan?
The subject property is currently designated Agricultural in the Township’s Official Plan.
Single detached dwellings on existing lots are permitted.
The subject property is an existing lot of record and is located immediately west of an
existing non-farm residential lot.
2.
Does the minor variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning
By-law?
The subject property is zoned the Rural (RU) Zone in the Township of Cavan-MillbrookNorth Monaghan Zoning By-law No. 2004-62, as amended. A single detached dwelling
is a permitted use in this Zone.
The subject property does not have enough lot area and lot frontage to satisfy the
minimum lot area and lot frontage requirements for the Rural (RU) Zone. In addition,
the location of the existing dwelling and detached garage do not meet the current
setback requirements in the Rural (RU) Zone. The variance will recognize the existing
characteristics of the lot and the setbacks of existing buildings and structures.
18
The proposed variance will permit the construction of a new detached garage and
carport that increases the existing non-complying side yard width.
3.
Is the proposed use desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land?
A single detached dwelling is permitted on the property. The adjacent land uses are
residential and agricultural. The variance is required to permit the replacement of an
existing detached garage. The new garage and carport are standard accessory uses
on a residential property. The proposed building is compatible with the existing
development in the area. The use and location of the new building are unlikely to
adversely affect the residential land use to the east nor will it adversely affect Township
interests.
4
Is the variance minor?
The proposed variances are minor in nature. The variances do not affect the permitted
uses on the property. They merely recognize the characteristics of an existing lot of
record and the development that currently exists on the lot. The lot can accommodate
the proposed garage and carport within the existing lot coverage requirements. The
encroachment into the side yard width is less than the current encroachment.
After hearing public comment and considering all written submissions, the Committee
has the following options:
1.
2.
3.
4.
approve the minor variance with no conditions;
approve the minor variance with conditions;
defer the minor variance for further consideration at a later date; or
reject the minor variance.

Cormier Minor Variance Application MV-06-16
Recommendations:
1.
That the Committee of Adjustment review and consider all verbal and
written comments received regarding this application; and
2.
That the Committee approve Application MV-06-16 with the condition that
the building materials for the garage addition are in keeping with the
architectural character and building material of the existing garage.
_____________________________________________________________________
Overview:
Leo and Debbie Cormier own property at 3 Union Street in Millbrook. A key map
showing the location of the property is provided as Attachment No. 1 to this Report.
The subject property is an existing lot of record approximately 0.065 square metres
(0.16 acres) in size with approximately 16.1 metres (52.8 feet) of frontage on Union
Street. The property is currently developed with a single detached dwelling and a
detached garage.
Mr. and Mrs. Cormier wish to construct an addition to the existing garage. The new
garage will be approximately 41.4 square metres (446 square feet) in size. The garage
addition will be located on the east side of the existing garage and south of the existing
house. A schematic plan of the proposed detached garage is provided as Attachment
No. 2 to this Report.
The existing garage is located approximately 1.2 metres (4 feet) from the southern
property line. The addition to the garage is also proposed to be located approximately
1.2 metres (4 feet) from the southern property line.
The garage addition will be located too close to the southern side lot line to satisfy the
current side yard width requirement for a detached accessory building in the Residential
Type One (R1) Zone. In addition, the lot coverage for accessory buildings will exceed
5%. As such, a minor variance is required.
22
The purpose of the variance is to reduce the southern side yard width and the minimum
rear yard depth for a detached accessory building from 3 metres (10 feet) to 1.2 metres
(4 feet) and 1.68 metres (5.5 feet) respectively and to increase the maximum lot
coverage for accessory buildings from 5% to 12.5%.
In addition, the variance will recognize the existing lot frontage and the location of the
existing house on the lot. The minimum lot frontage requirement of the Residential
Type One (R1) Zone will be reduced from 18 metres (59 feet) to 16.46 metres (54 feet).
The minimum side yard width requirement for the north side will be reduced from 2.25
metres (7.38 feet) to 0.76 metres (2.5 feet) and the yard encroachment for the roofed
porch will be increased from 1.5 metres (4.9 feet) to 2.44 metres (8 feet). All other
standard regulations of the Residential Type One (R1) Zone will continue to apply.
Notice of the minor variance application was circulated, by first class prepaid mail, to all
assessed persons within 60 metres (200 feet) of the subject property and to all required
ministries and agencies. A sign was posted on the Preston Road frontage of the
property.
Notice of the application was also circulated to all Township Department Heads. At the
time of the writing of this report, the Planning Department had received written
confirmation from the Clerk and the Chief Building Official that they have no comments
about or objections to the application.
Bell Canada and the Ministry of Natural
Resource and Forestry also confirmed, in writing, that they have no objection to the
proposed variance.
Planning Review
Section 45 of the Planning Act provides the tests that must be satisfied to support a
minor variance application. The tests are as follows:
1.
Does the minor variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official
Plan?
The subject property is currently designated Community Core in the Township’s Official
Plan. Free-standing residential uses are permitted in the Community Core designation.
The property is an existing lot of record in a residential and commercial area. A garage
is a common accessory building for a residential use.
2.
Does the minor variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning
By-law?
The subject property is zoned the Residential Type One (R1) Zone. Residential uses
are permitted in this Zone. The location and size of the proposed addition complies with
all zoning by-law regulations except the minimum side yard width requirement and
maximum lot coverage for accessory buildings. The lot coverage for all buildings and
structures will, however, be less than the maximum 33% lot coverage permitted. The
reduced side yard width will not adversely affect the use and enjoyment of the adjacent
Township property to the south. That lot is currently vacant.
23
The variance recognizes the lot frontage of the existing lot and the location of the
existing house on the lot.
3.
Is the proposed use desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land?
A single detached dwelling is permitted on the property. An attached garage is common
for a residential use. The proposed development is generally compatible with the
existing development in the area.
4
Is the variance minor?
The proposed variance is minor in nature. The variance does not affect the permitted
uses on the property. The lot can accommodate the proposed garage addition within
the total lot coverage requirements. The property most affected by the proposed
garage addition is the Township lot immediately south of the property. The property is
currently vacant. Any future development of the Township property can consider the
location of the garage on the adjacent property.
After hearing public comment and considering all written submissions, the Committee
has the following options:
1.
2.
3.
4.
approve the minor variance with no conditions;
approve the minor variance with conditions;
defer the minor variance for further consideration at a later date; or
reject the minor variance.
Financial Impact:
None at this time.
