  • Recommendation:

    Approve minor variance application A-12-2024, 435 Lakeview Drive, for the development of a new accessory building on the subject property, which will replace an existing 50.54 m2 (544 ft2) accessory building located south of the dwelling:

    • Relief from subsection 6.5 a) v) to permit the new accessory building to be setback a minimum of 3.79 metres (12.43 ft) from the front lot line to building foundation, with a minimum 3.56 metre (11.67 ft) setback from front lot line to building roof overhang (eaves, eavestrough, etc.). Subsection 6.5 a) v) requires a minimum front yard setback of 6 metres (19.68 feet) where a garage door faces the street;

    • Relief from subsection 6.5 a) vii) to permit the new accessory building to be setback a minimum of 0.85 metres (2.78 feet) from the east side lot line to building foundation. Subsection 6.5 a) vii) states that accessory buildings shall not be built closer than 1.5 metre (4.92 feet) from any lot line except that common semi-detached private garages or carports may be centred on a mutual side lot line. Please note a minimum 0.52 metre (1.7 feet) setback from the east side lot line to building roof overhang (eaves, eavestrough, etc.) is planned.

    • Relief from subsection 6.5 a) ix) to permit the new accessory building to have a maximum gross floor area of 87.4 m2 (940 ft2). Subsection 6.5 a) ix) states that an accessory building shall not exceed a gross floor area of 55 m2 (592 ft2) in the RW2 zone.

    • Relief from subsection 6.5 a) x) to permit the new accessory building to be setback a minimum of 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) (wall to wall) from the porch of the dwelling, with a minimum 1.9 metre (6.23 ft) setback between roof overhangs (eaves, eavestroughs, etc.). Subsection 6.5 a) x) states that an accessory building shall not be erected within 3 metres (9.84 ft) of the main building.

    Include the following Notice in the Decision: The applicant will need to ensure that the detached accessory building’s proposed setback from the eastern property line complies with the requirements of the Ontario Building Code. The owner is encouraged to incorporate noise and vibration mitigation measures in the design of the structure given its proximity to the VIA Rail Canada Inc. right-of-way. The reliefs are granted based on the use of the building being accessory to a residence. Should a commercial or residential use be proposed in the accessory building, the owner must contact the Municipality of Lakeshore to apply for the appropriate permissions under the Zoning By-law or the Building Code, as the case may be.

    It is recommended that the following condition be imposed on approval:

    Overland flow and downspout flows be diverted within the property limits/yard drain for the development, and that the grading from the property lines to the structures be maintained in such a way that overland flow stays within the proposed property limit to not impact adjacent properties, to the satisfaction of the Municipality of Lakeshore.

    It is recommended that the Committee of Adjustment include the following Notice in the Decision:

    The reliefs are granted based on the use of the structures being accessory to a residential property.
