The subject property is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Alps Road and Spragues Road.

The purpose of the proposed Minor Variance Application is to facilitate the construction of a new 2-storey detached garage (accessory building) on the subject property.

To permit for the proposal, the following minor variances are being requested from General Zoning By-law 689-83:

1. Section 6.4.1 of General Zoning By‐law 689‐83 establishes that no accessory building may be erected between any building lines established by this By-law.

1. Notice of Public Meeting

The Township of North Dumfries has received two Consent Applications for the properties municipally addressed as 395 and 435 Waydom Drive. The two properties are located adjacent each other and are situated within an existing Employment Area, immediately north of Highway 401, south of Roseville Road, and east of Industrial Road.

395 Waydom Drive has an approximate lot area of 15,617.70 square metres (1.56 hectares) and a corresponding lot frontage of 91.44 metres (300 feet) onto Waydom Drive. 435 Waydom Drive, located to the immediate east of the 395 Waydom Drive, has an approximate area of 5,205.95 square metres (0.52 hectares) and a corresponding lot frontage of 30.48 metres (100 feet) onto Waydom Drive.

395 Waydom Drive is developed with an industrial building and associated parking. However, its septic bed is located within the lot boundary of 435 Waydom Drive. 435 Waydom Drive is currently a vacant parcel of industrial land, except for the existing septic bed, which is situated at the rear of the lot. Both properties are under the same ownership and have historically functioned as a single parcel. 

The purpose of Consent Applications B-01/25 and B-02/25 is to facilitate lot additions involving 395 and 435 Waydom Drive. The proposed changes will ensure that the existing septic bed serving the industrial building at 395 Waydom Drive is fully contained within its own lot boundaries.

In exchange, a lot addition to 435 Waydom Drive is proposed to increase its frontage and overall lot area, supporting a future industrial development that can include a new building, associated parking, and private servicing infrastructure. The land to be added to 435 Waydom Drive is intended to offset the area being transferred to 395 Waydom Drive for the septic system.

The two properties currently share overland stormwater drainage. To maintain existing drainage patterns, the applicant is proposing that a blanket easement be established across both properties for areas where stormwater is shared and where runoff cannot be split between the two lots.

The following Consent Applications have been submitted to facilitate the proposed lot line adjustments:

• Application No. B-01/25 (395 Waydom Drive): Proposes to convey approximately 1,445 square metres (0.1445 hectares) from 395 Waydom Drive (Property 1 on the Consent Sketch) to 435 Waydom Drive (Property 2 on the Consent Sketch) as a lot addition. The land to be conveyed to 435 Waydom Drive is identified as “Part A” on the Consent sketch.

• Application No. B-02/25 (435 Waydom Drive): Proposes to convey approximately 1,671 square metres (0.1671 hectares) from 435 Waydom Drive to 395 Waydom Drive as a lot addition. The land to be conveyed to 395 Waydom Drive is identified as “Part B” on the Consent sketch.

The properties are both zoned Z.11 – Industrial and are designated Dry Industrial/Commercial on Map 2.27 of the Township Official Plan and located within Highway 401/Regional Road 97 Employment Area.

A Public Meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 29^th, 2025 at 6:00 p.m to provide members of the Community with an opportunity to review and provide comment on the applications. Please contact the Township Municipal Office for information on how to register and participate in the meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to present background information and to receive feedback on the proposal. Any person may provide written comments on the proposal, attend the meeting, and/or may make verbal representation at the time of the meeting.

The subject property is located on the west side of Rose Street, south of Piper Street and north of Water Street in urban Ayr.

The subject property does not currently have a municipal address; however, it is located between the lots municipally addressed as 30 Rose Street and 70 Rose Street. The property can be identified by its roll number (Roll No. 300101000114505). The rectangular shaped lot is approximately 1,468 m2 (0.15 hectares) in size, with a frontage of 18.29 m (60 ft.) onto Rose Street.

The subject property is currently vacant. Surrounding land uses are primarily urban residential.

The subject property is currently split-zoned as Z.1 – Agriculture, Z.4 – Urban Residential, and Z.4(f) – Urban Residential (Floodplain), with the majority designated as floodplain.

The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment Application is to establish a new split-zoning for the property which would permit the development of a new single-detached dwelling. The proposed dwelling two-storey dwelling will have a ground floor footprint/area of 232.47 m2 (2502 square feet). A Secondary Dwelling Unit (basement unit) is also included in the proposal.

Due to the partial floodplain designation, technical reports and correspondence with the GRCA were conducted to more accurately determine the floodplain/slope hazard limit. The applicant proposes to construct the new residential dwelling on the portion of the property confirmed to be outside the slope hazard (which will be zoned "Z.4 – Urban Residential").

In summary, a Zoning By-law amendment is required to establish a new split zoning for the property, as follows:

• Zone 4 – Urban Residential (encompassing the proposed dwelling and remaining area outside of the confirmed slope hazard extent); and
• Zone 12 – Open Space (covering the area to the inland limit of the confirmed slope hazard).

The subject property is located at 1821-1835 Whistle Bare Road in the Township of North Dumfries and is legally described as Part of Lots 27 and 28, Concession 12. The property is approximately 41.52 hectares in size with a corresponding lot frontage of 820 metres onto Whistle Bare Road.

The subject property is currently used as an agricultural farm and is developed with an existing two-storey single-detached dwelling, a silo and sheds. The majority of the property is used for agricultural cash crop production. A small wetland is located at the south portion of the Site and is partially located within the adjacent Grand Valley Golf Course. This wetland is regulated by the Grand River Conservation Authority and has been evaluated as being Provincially Significant. There are also two existing hydro towers located on the property in an easement that bisects the property.

The applicant is proposing the extension of the existing Tullis-Whistle Bare Aggregate Pit at 1951 Whistle Bare Road into the subject lands. Both sites are intended to share an access, an internal haul route, and the same hours of operation. It is proposed that extraction will continue from the existing pit into the subject property in a west-east direction over the next 21-24 years, and would take place in three phases:

1. Extraction of the site will begin at the boundary of the Tullis Put and move east into the subject property, encompassing an area of 5.53 hectares. Aggregates will be extracted for 5-6 years before moving into Phase 2.

1. In Phase 2, extraction will move east around the wetland and will continue for 9-10 years. The Phase Two extraction area is 6.98 hectares.

1. Finally, Phase 3 will see the remaining 8.33 hectares of the subject property be extracted, providing enough aggregates for 7-8 years of extraction.

A 15-metre buffer is proposed along the east and south property lines, while a 30-metre buffer is proposed along the north property line parallel to Whistle Bare Road. A 15-metre setback with an incorporated access ramp is proposed along the southern hydro tower, while the norther tower is outside of the proposed extraction limit. Additionally, a 20-metre buffer is proposed around an existing archaeological find at the north of the site which will remain undisturbed. A 70-metre buffer around this same find requires archaeological monitoring for site alteration and/or extraction, both of which are proposed. A separate archaeological find located within the wetland area requires the same buffering, however, no site alteration is proposed within the buffers of the southern find. The wetland will be protected and no extraction is proposed that will harm the environmental feature.

Following extraction, the site is proposed to be rehabilitated for agricultural purposes.

In order to facilitate the expansion of the existing Aggregate Pit into the subject lands, an amendment to the Township’s Zoning By-law No. 689-93 is required.

The site is currently zoned Z.1 – Agricultural under the Township Zoning By-law and does not permit aggregate extraction. As such, a Zoning By-law Amendment is required to rezone the subject property to Zone Z.14 – Mineral Aggregates and Zone Z.12a – Environmental Protection One Zone with a site-specific exemption to permit extraction along the western property line of the subject property, which shares a border with the existing Tullis Pit. The purposed of the Z.12a Zone is to ensure the future protection of the core Environmental Feature.

The subject property is located on the south side of Cedar Creek Road, east of Earl Thompson Road and west of the Credit Valley Railway. The property is approximately 18 hectares in size and is rectangular in shape, with an approximate frontage of 220 metres along Cedar Creek Road.

The property is currently developed with an existing farmhouse and an ancillary farm building in the northwestern portion of the site. 

The applicant is proposing to subdivide the subject property through a Vacant Land Condominium application to create seven (7) industrial lots and one (1) stormwater management block. The applicant intends to use one single lot for a Transport Enterprise and/or Transportation Operation, with the remaining six lots to be used for other industrial related uses. Each proposed lot is approximately two hectares in size. One common element road (proposed Street ‘A’) will provide access from Cedar Creek Road to the proposed lots with the proposed street ending in a bulb.

In order to facilitate the proposed subdivision of the land, the applicant is required to amend both the Township Official Plan and the Township’s General Zoning By-law No. 689-83.

The proposed Official Plan Amendment is being requested to amend Special Policy Area 2.9.3.2.3 (d) applicable to the subject property, which requires that the regulations of General Zoning By-law No. 689-83 prohibit any future severances of the property, which would reduce the size of the parcel. An amendment to the Special Policy is requested, which seeks to permit the subdivision of the parcel for the purpose of creating seven (7) industrial lots and a one (1) stormwater management block.

The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment application seeks to amend the current site-specific exemption (20.1.200) to permit a reduced minimum lot area and lot frontage. Presently, the site-specific exemption requires that a minimum lot area of 18 hectares and a minimum lot frontage of 220 metres be complied with. The applicant is seeking to establish minimum lot areas of 1.9 hectares and a minimum lot frontage of 89 metres. Additionally, the applicant is seeking to rezone the existing areas of the property that are zoned Z.12 – Open Space to the Z.11 – Industrial zone classification.

A hybrid public Meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 24^th, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. Interested members of the Public have the option of either attending the Meeting in-person or alternatively to connect to the meeting through a virtual electronic platform.

The lands subject to the Official Plan Amendment, Subdivision, and Zoning By-law Amendment are located immediately adjacent to the Cambridge/North Dumfries Municipal Boundary situated to the north of the Blenheim Road/Roseville Road corridor, east of Cruickston Creek. The Lands are Situated in Part of Lots 13 & 14, Concession 11, and Part of the Road Allowance between Concessions 11 & 12, Township of North Dumfries.  

The Official Plan Amendment Application (File No. OPA -01/21) recognizes that the subject land have been designated “Urban Area” in the Township’s Official Plan. The proposed Amendment addresses the requirements of Policy 2.1.4 (c) of the Plan, which among other matters, proposes a hierarchy of residential and other land use designations, urban design, policies, open spaces and environmental and servicing as well as transportation policies. 

The general purpose of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is provide a land use planning framework to guide the detailed planning and development of the Westwood Village Phase 2 community that ensures the integration with the approved Phase 1 neighbourhood situated within the City of Cambridge located to the east, while respecting and protecting the Core Environmental Features associated with the adjacent Blair-Bechtel – Cruickston Environmental Sensitive Lands located to the north, west and south of the subject lands. The proposed Amendment considers the environmental framework of the Cambridge West Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) and the planning that has previously occurred for the Westwood Village Phase 1development area. 

The two Plans of Subdivision Applications (File Nos. 30T-21301 & 30T-213020) are designed to establish the proposed lot and road fabric of the two development properties. The development will occur on the basis of full municipal services. 

Subdivision File No. 30T-21301 (Brian Domm) contemplates the creation of various lots/blocks that would establish a total of between 119 to 152 dwelling units, which would include:

• 114 to 134 single detached dwellings
• 0 to 12 townhouse/apartment dwelling units
• Three Park blocks are also proposed. The internal road network connects with the local road system proposed within the adjacent Hallman Construction Ltd. Lands.

Subdivision File No. 30T-21302 (Hallman Construction Ltd.) contemplates the creation of various lots/blocks that would establish a total of between 311 to 504 dwelling units, which would include:

• 200 to 242 single detached dwellings
• 52 to 77 townhouse dwellings
• 59 to 185 townhouse/apartment dwelling units 
  
  

A park block and wildlife corridor block are also proposed. The internal road network connects with Newman Drive, the mid-block neighbourhood north/south collector located within the Westwood Phase 1 area with the City of Cambridge.

Zoning By-law Amendment Application (File No. ZC-03/21) is proposed to implement the two Plan of subdivision proposals. The Zoning By-law Amendment will establish a hierarchy of residential zone classifications to recognize the various dwelling unit type, the open space corridors, and parkland blocks. The residential zone classifications will establish dwelling unit type, minimum lot frontage and land area requirements, building setback, building height, and similar regulatory requirements.
