Planning Staff conducted a site visit with photo documentation on April 1, 2014. The property abutting to the rear is developed with mature deciduous trees up to the rear lot line. The Owner is requesting permission to construct an in-ground swimming pool with a reduced rear yard setback. A Landscape Architect in the Planning Department has advised that a further site visit is required to determine if the proposed setback is adequate to ensure the root system (of the mature trees to the north) located on the subject property will not be negatively impacted by the development. Accordingly, the Planning Department recommends Minor Variance Application A072/14 be adjourned until such time that a Landscape Architect with the Planning Department can conduct a site visit to determine if the proposed setback is appropriate.

Recommendation:

The Planning Department recommends adjournment of Minor Variance Application A072/14, until such time that Urban Design Staff can conduct a site visit.

Condition(s):

None.

Location: Part of Lot 8, Concession 2 (Lot 182, Registered Plan No. 65M-2721 municipally known as 196 Westmount Boulevard).

Proposal

1. To permit a minimum interior side yard setback of 0.4 metres to pool equipment.

2. To permit a minimum interior side yard setback of 0.4 metres to central air conditioning unit (A/C).

3. To permit a minimum rear yard setback of 1.52 metres to swimming pool. By-Law Requirements:

1. A minimum 1.2 metres interior side yard setback to pool

equipment is permitted. 2. A minimum 1.2 metres interior side yard setback to an A/C unit is

permitted. 3. A minimum 5.0 metres rear yard setback to a swimming pool is

permitted. Comments: Note a pool enclosure/building permit has not been issued and is

required. Variances No. 3 is sufficient enough to allow for positive drainage without any adverse impact on the subject lands. Variance No. 2 is acceptable, however it should be noted that an A/C unit with less than 0.6 metres setback from an interior side yard swale should be elevated and mounted to the dwelling wall to ensure positive drainage is maintained. With respect to the proposed setback as noted in Variance No. 1, the current grading pattern for the side yard consists of a split drainage pattern. Therefore the existing swale must be maintained and with the proposed 0.4 metres setback positive drainage should not be an issue. Also of note is Lot 182 (subject lands) of the approved Grading Plan (Registered Plan 65M-2721 & 65M-2722) was constructed with a rear lot catchbasin. Note the rear lot catchbasin shall remain unobstructed to allow for positive drainage. Accordingly, the Development Transportation/Engineering Department has no further comments or objection to Minor Variance Application A072/14.

Condition(s): None.
