Purpose of the Proposed Minor Variance:

A minor variance is required to permit the establishment of a 407.2 square metre (4,383.2 square foot) single detached dwelling on the above noted property.
The property at 14 Scout Crescent is an existing lot of record approximately 1.56 hectares (3.87 acres) in size with 35 metres (115 feet) of frontage on Scout Crescent.
The property is zoned Natural Linkage (NL) and Natural Core (NC) as shown on Map E-2 to By-law No. 2018-58, as amended. A single detached dwelling is permitted in the NL and NC Zones provided an environmental impact study (EIS) demonstrates that there is no alternative and the proposed development is directed away from the feature to the maximum extent possible; the impact of the proposal on the feature and its functions is minimized to the maximum extent possible; and the proposal is not located in a floodplain or erosion hazard area.

The applicant has submitted an environmental impact study (EIS), a grading plan, lot drainage plan and tree planting plan in support of the Application. An area was identified in the study for development outside any key hydrologic features and demonstrated through mitigations, that the impact the feature or its functions will be minimized.

The submitted lot grading and drainage plan showed that the lot will be developed in a manner that will not impact the neighbouring properties or the environmental features.

A tree re-planting plan was submitted in support of the Application. The majority of the trees will be planted along the southern interior lot line abutting 23 Scout Crescent.

The purpose of the minor variance is to:

  1. increase the permitted lot coverage from 2.0% to 2.6%; and
  2. reduce the southern interior side yard setback from 15 metres (49 feet) to 9 metres (29.5 feet).

All other regulations of the NL and NC Zones will apply to the property.
