Context:
The subject land is situated east of Brimley Road, north of St. Clair Avenue. The parcel is
vacant and undeveloped, with 22 metres (72 feet) frontage on Anson Avenue and an area of
0.76 hectares (1.8 acres). The land is surrounded by single-family dwellings.
Background:
In July 1998, Council considered the Preliminary Evaluation Report and directed Planning
staff to continue to process the application in the normal manner and to schedule the public
meeting for the fall of 1998.
Existing Official Plan:
The land is designated Low Density residential, providing for single-detached dwellings,
semi-detached dwellings, duplexes, convertible dwellings, and street townhouses, to a
maximum density of 37 units per hectare (15 units per acre).
Existing Zoning:
The site is zoned single-family residential, permitting one single-family dwelling per parcel
of land with a minimum of 12 metres (40 feet) frontage on a public street and a minimum lot
area of 464 square metres (5000 square feet).
Comments:
The draft plan of subdivision (Figure 2) proposes the creation of seven single-family
dwelling lots to be serviced by a new 17 metre (55 feet) wide cul-de-sac on the south side of
Anson Avenue. The proposed lots would have frontages ranging from 13.8 metres (45 feet)
to 17.5 metres (57 feet) and minimum lot areas of 464 square metres (5000 square feet),
which would be similar with other properties in the area.
Two remnant blocks, Block 8 and Block 9, have been set aside for future assembly with
abutting lands that may result in additional lots being created. With respect to Block 9,
which would become land-locked, the applicant proposes that prior to registration of the
plan, the owner will register on title a private easement over Lot 2, to provide the current
owner maintenance access.
The new lots will provide for additional housing stock to the City's inventory.
Although there is no significant vegetation on the site, development may impact on trees
located on adjacent properties. The owner will be required to submit an arborist report and a
detailed plan which indicates the exact location of all existing trees situated on private
property and all City trees that are to be protected and preserved, together with appropriate
protection measures.
The application was circulated to technical agencies and departments for their comments.
There were no objections raised to the proposal, by the reporting agencies.
Conclusions:
Approval of this draft plan of subdivision will provide for the development of assembled
vacant land and the creation of new single-family lots similar in size to those existing in the
area. The new lots will provide for additional housing stock to the City's inventory.
Planning staff are recommending the proposed plan of subdivision be approved.
