Parks:
As per your request we have reviewed the drawings and have the following comments:
1. The owner should note that they must comply with the Tree Preservation By-law No. 41-07 as it
applies.
2. The owner should note that they must comply with the Street Tree Bylaw No. 40-07, as it relates to
Town trees fronting the property
3. Any new lots will be subject to parkland dedication at the time of building permit.
4. Tree #419 is recommended for removal due to its hazardous conditions, which we have no objection
to. However, we note that the tree is located on the property boundary with the adjacent home owner
and highly recommend that the applicant discuss the tree's removal prior to the commencement of
any work as it may affect the surrounding privacy fence.
Planning:
The subject lands are presently designated “Residential” under the Town’s General Official Plan.
Main permitted uses under the “Residential” designation are to be predominantly single-detached,
semi-detached and duplex dwellings.
The lands are zoned RU under Zoning By-law No. 1275, as amended, which permits primarily singledetached
dwellings. Staff notes that the proposed side yard setbacks of 1.26 m (4.13 ft) and 1.43 m
(4.69 ft) are functional with respect to the engineering services and maintain the intent and purpose
of the zoning by-law.
