The Chair will call to Order the evening's proceedings.

A Minor Variance application has been applied for to permit a proposed 189.5 square metre (Type 3) Agricultural accessory building on an agriculturally zoned lot with an interior side yard setback of 3.6 metres, whereas 7.5 metres is required in Table 1-1 in the Townships Zoning Bylaw 2017-70.


A second variance has been applied for to permit a proposed covered front porch within the required front yard with a setback of 6.2 metres whereas 15 metres is required.

A Minor Variance application has been applied for to fulfill a condition of a related consent (B03/2024WL) which was conditionally approved by the Committee of Adjustment on May 29th, 2024.


The consent proposed severing Part 1 (4,047 square metres/1 acre) which will continue to be used as commercially zoned lot with an existing single detached dwelling and one accessory building (55.74 square metres). The retained lands (Part 2), being 3.35 hectares (8.28 acres) would maintain the existing split zoning, being approximately 2.95 hectares (7.28 acres) zoned as Agricultural ‘A’ and 0.34 hectares (0.85 acres) zoned as Service Commercial ‘C3’.


This minor variance is required to permit the deficient lot area and lot frontage for the retained lands as Table 12 (Part 5) of the Township’s Zoning By-law, identifies a minimum lot area of 40 hectares and a
minimum lot frontage of 100 metres. The retained would have approximately 13 metres of frontage along South Grimsby Road 19.

A Minor Variance application has been applied for to permit an accessory building (detached garage) on the subject property which requires two variances from the Township’s Zoning By-law.


Relief is being requested to allow a total lot coverage of 113 square metres for all accessory buildings and structures whereas, Table 1-2 (Part 3) of the Township’s Zoning By-law, identifies 100 square metres or 8% as the maximum lot coverage for accessory buildings and structures on a lot within a Residential Low Density ‘R1C’ zone. The proposed accessory building, covered porch and covered deck would total 15.5% in the property’s lot coverage.


Relief is also being requested to allow an exterior side setback of 3 metres whereas, Table 1-2 identifies an accessory building or structure cannot be located closer than the main building or 6 metres to an exterior side lot line.

A Minor Variance application has been applied for to permit an addition of 911 square metres to the existing winery building on the subject property. The addition is being proposed off of the south west portions of the existing building with a second loading dock which will result in a front yard setback of 15 metres whereas, Table 12 (Part 5) of the Township’s Zoning By-Law identifies 20 metres as the minimum setback for a main building within an Agricultural ‘A’ zone.


Relief is also being requested to permit a second loading dock at the front of the new addition which would be located on the south side of the new addition. However, the Township’s Zoning By-Law (3.12.5 Off-Street Loading Facility Requirements) identifies a loading space shall not be located within a required yard, front yard or exterior side yard. The second loading dock is being proposed within the required front yard with a front yard setback of 15 metres.

A consent application has been applied for to permit a surplus farm dwelling severance for the lands located at 5447 Regional Road 20. The land being severed with the dwelling and accessory building is proposed to be 1.25 acres in size, and the retained farmland with an agricultural building will be approximately 57.5 acres in size, following the severance.


If approved, a condition will be required that the severed residential property be zoned to Rural Residential (RUR) and the retained farmland be zoned to Agricultural Purposes Only (APO), restricting any future residential use.

That, this Committee does now adjourn at the hour of _______ pm
