1 Expansion or Enlargement in the Water Yard Wilson Park Community Centre, October 7, 2017

2 Background of the amendment Council requested a review of amendments that take place within the first 100 feet of the high water mark in the Shoreline Residential zone On July 4 th, 2017, Council gave Township staff direction to research potential amendments for expansion within 100 feet of the high water mark The Junior Planner came back to Council on August 1 st with 4 options and Council opted for the amendment that is being presented today with some minor changes

3 Purpose of this amendment To provide clearer as-of-right permissions to rebuild or add-to a dwelling/recreational dwelling within 100 feet of the high water mark To provide incentive to relocate the dwelling further from the water for those who are proposing a tear-down and rebuild A provincial policy document entitled 30 Metre Setback from Water indicates that the 30 metre setback is a balance between scientific merit, political and social acceptability and that greater distance means more protection for the water body and riparian zone Reduce the number of amendments that come before Council for all waterfront properties

4 The proposed amendment Dwelling distance from shoreline Maximum floor area increase Shoreline Width increase (max) Height increase (max) >0 m and <9 m (0 30 ) 9 m and <15 m (30 50 ) 0 square metres 0% 0 metres 51 square metres (550 sq. ft) 40% of shoreline frontage to a maximum of 18.3 m (60 feet) To max 7.6 metres (25 feet) 15 m and 21 m (50 70 ) 70 square metres (750 sq. ft) 40% of shoreline frontage to a maximum of 24.4 m (80 feet) To max 9 metres (30 feet) 21 m and 30 m ( ) 100 square metres (1,075 sq. ft) 40% of shoreline frontage to a maximum of 24.4 m (80 feet) To max 9 metres (30 feet) 30 m (100 feet plus) 10% lot coverage Unlimited but must be setback 15 feet from side lot line 7.6 metres (36 feet)

5 What does North Kawartha permit right now in the water yard? Setback from High Water Mark (HWM) Maximum floor area increase Shoreline Width increase (max) Height increase (max) >0m and <9 m (0 feet to 30 feet) 0 square metres 0% 0 metres 9m and <30 m (30 feet to 100 feet) 30 m (100 feet plus) 10% lot coverage 40% of shoreline frontage to a maximum of 18.3 metres (60 feet) 10% lot coverage Unlimited but must be setback 15 feet from side lot line 7.6 metres (25 feet) 7.6 metres (25 feet)

6 What are the major changes? Both tear-down/rebuilt cottages and expansions to cottages are permitted asof-right. Right now only additions are permitted beyond 30 feet from the high water mark More lateral expansion, footprint area and height allowance the further back a cottage is moved (for a tear-down/rebuild) Footprint additions based on square footage, as-of-right, instead of lot coverage

7 What can be done within the first 30 feet of the high water mark (existing and proposed bylaw)? Tear down and rebuild of exactly the same dimensions Repairs/strengthening of existing structure No expansion to footprint without planning approvals No new or expansion of decks within 30 feet from the water
