4.Attachment 3 - NPCA MV Letter - 8501 Young Street, West Lincoln, A042025WL with map.pdf

Property: 8501 Young Street


A Minor Variance application has been applied for and is seeking relief from Table 1-1 (found in Part 3) of the Township’s Zoning By-Law 2017-70, as amended, for existing zoning deficiencies on the property. The first variance requested is for a reduced interior side yard and rear yard setback of 1.05 metres for the existing detached garage on the property whereas, 2 metres is the minimum interior side yard and rear yard setback required for Type 2 accessory buildings in the Agricultural ‘A’ zone.


In addition, the property has three existing Type 2 (10.1-120m2) accessory buildings whereas, the Zoning By-Law only permits a maximum of two Type 2 accessory buildings on agricultural lots.


Table 1-1 also identifies 50 metres as the maximum distance accessory buildings or structures are
permitted from a main building in an Agricultural ‘A’ zone. The existing detached garage is located 79.8 metres from the dwelling and the existing barn is located 70 metres from the dwelling. Therefore, the requested relief is 29.8 metres for the detached garage and 20 metres for the barn. 

b.
A06/2025WL – Lowden (Agent, Cody Van Soelen–Cav Construction Inc.)

4.Attachment 3. Marten Lowden Shop - Updated Address.pdf

Property: 8457 Silver Street


A Minor Variance application has been applied for to construct a detached accessory building (shop) with a total area of 162.58m2 (163m2) on the property.


Relief is being requested from Table 1-2 (found in Part 3) of the Township’s Zoning By-Law 2017-70, as amended. The first variance requested is for a shop with a ground floor area no greater than 163m2, whereas, 120m2 is the maximum ground floor area permitted for accessory buildings or structures in a Residential Low Density ‘R1A’ zone. Therefore, the requested relief is approximately 43m2.


Table 1-2 also identifies 5 metres as the maximum height for accessory buildings or structures within a residential zone. The proposed height for the shop is 6.4 metres measured to the roof ridge. However, the Zoning By-Law identifies that in the case of a pitched roof, the height shall be
measured to the midway point between the eaves of the majority of the roof and the ridge. As such, the proposed height measured to the mid-peak is 5.4 metres, therefore the requested relief is 0.4 metres.
