The proposed new access road would be sited to permit the future
completion of a cul-de-sac when adjacent areas are subdivided.

The propogal also indicates the usage of an un-opened lane allowance along
the northern property line of 3474 Hastings Street. Closure of this lane and
inclusion of its full width into the proposed subdivision is required so that
the new lots meet the minimum lot depth of the RS-2 zoning regulations.

DISCUSSION:

The applicants are considering a road exchange to close the existing lane
adjacent to the north property line of 3474 Hastings Street and have it
incorporated into the subdivision. However, owners of four properties on
Kitchener Avenue which are also adjacent to the lane (2438, 2450, 2468, 2484
Kitchener Avenue), are petitioning to have the lane closed so that they may
purchase half of the lane width for consolidation with their own properties.
Should the latter occur, the subdivision plan would have to be modified to the
satisfaction of the Approving Officer. Variances in lot depth would have to
-be granted for Lots 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 aa they would not meet the lot
depth requirementa without the full depth of the lane.

The subdivision plan proposes a duplex to be located at 3466 Hastings
Street adjacent to the new access road. The Planning Department does not
support a duplex at this location as there is another duplex less than 180
metres away.

Lots 2 and 3 of the proposed subdivision are shown to be deficient in lot
depth by 5.25 metres and 0.87 metres respectively. A Development Variance
Permit is therefore being requested to relax the minimum lot depth for these
two lots.
