The retained portion is vacant land. Zoning Amendment Application C14/2017 has been submitted in conjunction with this application.

Zubeda Nanji was in attendance to discuss the application.

Notice of the Public Meeting was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

Jim Peters, Director of Planning, presented Staff Report COA-2017-12. An application for consent has been received with respect to property located at 1948 13th Line East, Seymour Ward. The application proposes to sever one new parcel, being approximately 7.1 acres (with the existing residential dwelling and outbuildings), from approximately 147.71 acres. The retained portion is vacant land. The lands in question are designated as a combination of Rural and Greenlands within the Trent Hills Official Plan. Zoning is a combination of Rural, Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive in the Trent Hills Zoning By-law. The Environmentally Sensitive Zoning denotes a heavily wooded portion of the property, while the Environmental Protection follows a wetland feature. The policies within the Official Plan permit the consideration of the creation of a limited number of rural residential lots. Consideration is to be given to the proposed use of the lot, the topography of the lot and the general pattern of development in the area. The proposed retained parcel of vacant land, will have access from the 13th Line East, and will be eligible for the construction of a single family residential dwelling, serviced by a private well and septic system. Zoning Amendment Application C14/2017 has been filed in conjunction with the Severance Consent Application to ensure the proper zoning is in place, if provisional consent is granted. Planning staff have met with the applicant, to discuss their submission, and review the requirements. Furthermore, the Notice of Public Meeting has been circulated to the public in the appropriate manner, as well as the required outside agencies and municipal departments. The process to consider consent applications is being carried out in accordance with the process as set out in the Planning Act. It involves pre-consultation, filing of a complete application, public and agency circulation, consideration at a public meeting and circulation of the decision. The application for consent is

being considered with regard to the policies contained in the Official Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement. Planning Staff have been involved in the review of the application and preparation of notices and reports. All fees have been collected in order to consider the application as complete. The Notice of Decision will be circulated to the applicant and any agency or individual who has requested a copy.

Manager of Roads and Urban Services:

The proposed retained parcel does provide an adequate location for a “site specific” proper residential entrance. Further entrance details (culvert, ditching, brushing, etc., if required) will be provided by Public Works staff, upon the formal application of an entrance permit.

Written Comments: None were received.

Applicant Comments: Nothing further.

Public Comments: No one spoke for or against the application.

Committee Comments: Councillor Thompson expressed concern over drainage on the property, and the location of the residential entrance. The Roads Manager and Director of Planning will conduct a further site visit, to ensure Condition #3 can be met, prior to the severance deeds being stamped.

BE IT RESOLVED that the Committee of Adjustment receive Staff Report COA-2017-12, regarding Severance Consent Application B12/2017, Richard Gosling and Zubeda Nanji, as information;

This requirement must be addressed to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department and may be determined to be unnecessary by an Ontario Land Surveyor.

5. That the applicant rezone the severed portion of land to conform to the Municipality of Trent Hills Zoning By-

An application for consent has been received from Donna Brown with respect to property located at 1192 10th Line West (1.0 acre with existing residential dwelling) and 1222 10th Line West (99 acres with existing residential dwelling and outbuildings), Seymour Ward.

2. Background/Rationale:

The purpose of the application is to sever two parcels which have merged under the ownership of the applicant. The severance will return the two previously separate parcels to separate ownership status. Both parcels have separate roll numbers, and receive separate tax bills.

The severed portion is 1.0 acre with an existing residential dwelling. The retained portion is 99 acres with the existing residential dwelling and outbuidlings. The proposed severance does not change any existing lot lines, and each parcel currently has a separate roll number.

The lands in question are designated as Prime Agricultural and Greenlands in the Official Plan. As the lots have been in existence for several years and unexpectedly merged in title, the application conforms to the policies as outlined in the Official Plan and Provincial Policy Statement.

The zoning for the severed parcel is Rural Residential. The zoning for the retained parcel is Agricultural, Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive. The correct Zoning is in place for both parcels, in accordance with the Trent Hills Zoning By-law.

3. Relevant Options/Consultations:

Planning staff have met with the applicant, to discuss their submission, and review the requirements.

Furthermore, the Notice of Public Meeting has been circulated to the public in the appropriate manner, as well as to the required outside agencies and municipal departments.

4. Risk/Safety Considerations:

Not applicable.

5. Legal Implications/Legislative Requirements:

The process to consider consent applications is being carried out in accordance with the process as set out in the Planning Act. It involves pre-consultation, filing of a complete application, public and agency circulation, consideration at a public meeting and circulation of the decision.

6. Policy/Staff Implications:

The application for consent is being considered with regard to the policies contained in the Official Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement.

Planning staff have been involved in the review of the application and preparation of notices and reports.

1. Purpose/Nature of the Proposal:

An application for consent has been received from Gary Stephens, with respect to property located 1196 County Road 8, Seymour Ward. The purpose of the application is to sever approximately 2.0 acres (with existing surplus residential dwelling) from 148.5 acres. The retained parcel contains an existing outbuilding, which will be removed by the purchaser.

This application has been submitted in conjunction with Zoning Amendment Application C18/2017.

2. Background/Rationale:

The purpose of the application is for the creation of one new lot, being approximately 2.0 acres containing the existing surplus residential dwelling.

The remaining lands are being sold to a local farming operation, and will continue to be used as active agricultural lands. The purchaser is aware that the existing outbuilding needs to be removed, as it does not meet the minimum setback requirements to the proposed lot line. In order to complete the real estate transaction in a timely fashion, staff have not included the demolition of the outbuilding as a condition of the completion of the severance. Written correspondence will be provided to both the applicant and the purchaser, to clearly indicate the building must be removed within one (1) year of the issuance of the Notice of Decision.

Initially, the proposed sketch included a forty (40) foot laneway to the east of the severed parcel. It was the intent to provide a field access for the purchaser. Since that time, the purchaser has advised this access is not required, as there is sufficient road frontage to provide adequate access. Therefore, the application and sketch have been adjusted accordingly.

The subject lands are designated as Prime Agricultural Lands within the Official Plan.

Zoning is a combination of Agricultural, Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive within the Trent Hills Zoning By-law. The Environmentally Sensitive Zoning denotes a heavily wooded area on the subject property, while the Environmental Protection indicates a small wetland feature.

Under the Provincial Policy Statement and Official Plan policies, a surplus farm dwelling can be severed. The Provincial Policy Statement also states that due to the Prime Agricultural designation, the balance of the lands are to be protected from future residential use. Therefore, if the Consent is approved, it should be with the condition to rezone the retained portion to Agricultural Exception (*) to prohibit future residential development.

Consent Application B15/2017 and B16/2017 by Roger White, with respect to property located in Concession 10, Part Lot 10, 36 O’Melia Lake Road, Percy Ward, Roll # 14 35 229 040 09350 0000. Severance Consent Application B15/2017 proposes to create one (1) new parcel, being approximately 5.75 acres (vacant land), from approximately 19.47 acres, for residential building purposes. Severance Consent Application B16/2017 proposes to create one (1) new parcel, being approximately 8.0 acres (vacant land), from approximately 19.47 acres, for residential building purposes. Zoning Amendment Application C19/2017 has been submitted in conjunction with these applications. COMMENTS RECEIVED: County of Northumberland: (B15/2017) In response to the above noted circulation, we have reviewed the application and would request that the following be included as conditions of consent:

1. That the applicant shall register sufficient covenants on the title of the severed and retained portions to protect overland surface water drainage patterns to ensure that drainage from the adjacent County road allowance properties shall remain unimpeded over the properties.

2. That the applicant shall layout and dedicate by deed to the County of Northumberland a strip of land ensuring 15.0 metres (50 feet) from the centerline of County Road 8, along the frontage of the severed and the retained portions, for road widening purposes.

Please send a copy of the Notice of Decision to the County office for our records. Manager of Roads and Urban Services: (B16/2017) The proposed severed parcel does provide an adequate location for a “site specific” proper residential entrance. Further entrance details (culvert, ditching, brushing, etc., if required) will be provided by Public Works staff, upon the formal application of an entrance permit. Existing field entrances if any, will not be acceptable. The entrance will have to be new and meet the Trent Hills Entrance and Setback Policy requirements. The existing entrance on the retained parcel, does not meet the requirements of the Trent Hills Entrance and Setback Policy. Therefore, it is incomplete at this time.

1. Purpose/Nature of the Proposal:

Two applications for consent have been received with respect to property located in Concession 10, Part of Lot 10, 36 O'Melia Lake Road, Percy Ward.

Severance Consent Application B15/2017 proposes to create one new parcel, being approximately 5.75 acres in size, of vacant land.

Severance Consent Application B16/2017 proposes to create one new parcel, being approximately 8.0 acres in size, of vacant land.

The retained portion is approximately 5.75 acres, and contains the existing residential dwelling and accessory building.

This application has been filed in conjunction with Zoning Amendment Application C19/2017.

2. Background/Rationale:

The application proposes to create two new parcels, being approximately 5.75 acres and 8.0 acres each in size, for residential building purposes. The retained portion contains the existing residential dwelling and accessory outbuilding.

The property in question is designated as Rural within the Trent Hills Official Plan. Zoning is Rural within the Trent Hills Zoning By-law.

Planning staff have advised the applicant that due to the livestock barn located at 1184 County Road 45, Minimum Distance Separation applies to any potential residential development on the proposed parcel created under Severance Consent Application B15/2017. Staff have completed the required distance using the OMAFRA program, which specifies any residential development must be a minimum of 595 feet from the adjacent barn. Therefore, a small building envelope appears to be available in the south east corner of the proposed lot.

The policies within the Official Plan permit the consideration of the creation of a limited number of rural residential lots. Consideration is to be given to the proposed use of the lot, the topography of the lot and the general pattern of development in the area. The proposed severed parcels will be eligible for a residential building permit, serviced by an individual well and septic system, with access off County Road 45 (B15/2017) and O'Melia Lake Road (B16/2017),

The applicant has submitted a zoning amendment application in conjunction with the severance applications. The Zoning Amendment proposes to rezone the severed and retained portions to Rural Residential.

3. Relevant Options/Consultations:

Planning staff have met with the applicant, to discuss their submission, and review the requirements.

1. Purpose/Nature of the Proposal:

An application for consent has been received from Wayne Newman, with respect to property located 1470 9th Line West, Seymour Ward. The purpose of the application is to sever approximately 5.0 acres (with existing surplus residential dwelling and agricultural accessory buildings) from 120 acres. The retained parcel is vacant land.

This application has been submitted in conjunction with Zoning Amendment Application C21/2017.

2. Background/Rationale:

The purpose of the application is for the creation of one new lot, being approximately 5.0 acres containing the existing surplus residential dwelling and agricultural accessory buildings. The applicant has recently purchased the subject lands, in which the residential dwelling is surplus to the farming operation.

The subject lands are designated as a combination of Prime Agricultural Lands and Rural within the Official Plan.

Zoning is a combination of Agricultural, Rural, Environmental Protection and Environmentally Sensitive within the Trent Hills Zoning By-law. The Environmentally Sensitive Zoning denotes a heavily wooded area on the subject property, while the Environmental Protection indicates a small wetland feature.

Under the Provincial Policy Statement and Official Plan policies, a surplus farm dwelling can be severed. The Provincial Policy Statement also states that due to the Prime Agricultural designation, the balance of the lands are to be protected from future residential use. Therefore, if the Consent is approved, it should be with the condition to rezone the retained portion to Agricultural Exception (*) to prohibit future residential development.

The applicants have submitted this zoning amendment application in conjunction with the severance application.

3. Relevant Options/Consultations:

Planning staff have met with the applicants to discuss the application, and review the requirements.

Furthermore, the Notice of Public Meeting has been circulated to the public in the appropriate manner, as well as to the required outside agencies and municipal departments.

AND FURTHER that the Committee of Adjustment approve Minor Variance Application A02/2017 by Michael Olscher, with respect to property located at 52 Summer Lane, former Township of Percy.

1. Purpose/Nature of the Proposal:

An application for Minor Variance has been received from Michael Olscher, with respect to property at 52 Summer Lane, Warkworth, Former Township of Percy.

The purpose of the application is to seek relief from the Municipality of Trent Hills Zoning By-law 2010-105, with respect to the minimum front yard setback for a detached accessory building.

2. Background/Rationale:

The applicant has submitted an application for a minor variance, requesting a reduction in the minimum front yard setback to construct a detached accessory building.

Page 32 of 39

The Trent Hills Zoning By-law stipulates that in any Residential Zone, any accessory building or structure, which is not part of the principal or main building, shall be erected in conformity with the setback requirements of the Zone in which such building is located. The subject property is Zoned Special Rural Residential, with a required minimum front yard setback of 12 metres (40) feet.

Due to the topography of the subject property, the location of the current residential dwelling, septic and well, the proposed accessory building will be located in the front/side yard of the residential dwelling. The front yard setback to the proposed accessory building will be approximately 5.5 metres (18 feet). All other requirements of the Zoning By-law are being met.

Four tests have been established for a Minor Variance:

1. Does the use comply with the Official Plan?

The Rural designation recognizes residential uses, and accessory buildings thereto.

2. Does the use comply with the Zoning By-law?

The Special Rural Residential Zone permits the current structures on site, as well as the proposed accessory building.

3. Is the Minor Variance necessary to achieve the appropriate use of the property?

In order for the applicants to construct the proposed accessory building, the Minor Variance is necessary to acknowledge the reduced front yard setback.

4. Is the variance minor?

The structures as they exist, currently meet the requirements of the Zoning By-law. The construction of the accessory building does not appear to create any adverse impact.

3. Relevant Options/Consultations:

Planning staff have met with the applicants, to discuss their submission, and review the requirements.

Furthermore, the Notice of Public Meeting has been circulated to the public in the appropriate manner, as well as to the required outside agencies and municipal departments.
