Application
The applicant is requesting relief from the requirements of the Town’s Comprehensive
Zoning By-law 6000-17, as amended, to facilitate the development of two new drive-
through restaurants. The drive-through restaurants are proposed at the northeast corner
of Leslie Street and the future Melvin Robson Avenue, as part of the Aurora Mills Business
Park area. A conceptual overall and subject site plan are attached as Appendix ‘B’ to this
report for further reference.
Proposed Variance
The following relief is being requested:
a) Section 5.4 of the Zoning By-law requires a total of 58 parking spaces for the
restaurant uses. The applicant is proposing a total of 52 parking spaces, thereby
requiring a variance of 6 spaces.
Background
Subject Property and Area Context
The subject lands are municipally known as 1588 St. John’s Sideroad and are part of the
Aurora Mills Business Park area located north of St. John’s Sideroad and east of Leslie
Page 1 of 45
January 12, 2023 2 of 8 Report No. MV-2022-13
Street. The subject lands are considered Block 1 for the overall Business Park subdivision,
and are specifically located at the northeast intersection of Leslie Street and the future
Melvin Robson Avenue, which will serve as an interior east-west collector road for the
Business Park area.
The subject lands have an approximate lot area of 0.871 hectares (2.15 acres), and an
approximate lot frontage of 90.88 metres (298.2 feet) onto Melvin Robson Avenue. The
subject lands are currently vacant and undergoing earthworks, with the associated Site
Plan application for the restaurant (SP-2020-09) also submitted to the Town. The initial
Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision for the overall business park
was also approved by Council on June 6, 2017 (SUB-2015-02 and ZBA-2015-05).
Surrounding Land Uses
The surrounding land uses for the subject property are as follows:
North: Environmental Protection land;
South: Vacant future Employment land;
East: Vacant future Employment land; and
West: Residential Neighbourhood.
Official Plan
The subject lands are designated ‘Business Park 1’ by the Town of Aurora Official Plan
(OPA 73). The intent of this designation is to provide a full range of employment
opportunities as well as opportunities for ancillary service uses, which includes the
proposed restaurant use as permitted.
Zoning
The subject lands are zoned E-BP (504) (Employment-Business Park Exception Zone) by
Zoning By-law 6000-17, as amended, which permits restaurants.
Related Planning Applications
On June 6, 2017, Council approved a Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of
Subdivision for the Aurora Mills Business Park area to define the block areas and
establish the permitted uses. With the subdivision blocks and permitted uses now
established, individual site-specific applications can now be pursued. A site plan
application to facilitate the restaurant use on the subject property (SP-2020-09) has been
received by the Town, which is currently under review. The subject variance is required in
order to facilitate the approval of the related site plan application.

January 12, 2023 3 of 8 Report No. MV-2022-13
Preliminary Zoning Review
A Preliminary Zoning Review (PZR) has been completed by the Town of Aurora’s Building
Division. The PZR identified the above-mentioned required variances, and no other non-
compliance was identified.
Applicant’s stated reason(s) for not complying with the Zoning By-law
As stated on the application form, “After the previous Committee of Adjustment meeting
we took the comments made by the committee back to our design t eam as well as
planning staff and worked on an alternative plan that would provide greater stacking
spaces and better mobility within the plan. The reconfiguration allowed us to achieve all
stacking spaces required for both Building A and Building B. We did provide a plan to
show the turning radii does function for the entrance of the drive thru on Building A and
relocated the entrance of the drive thru for Building B to separate the two. Furthermore,
we reconfigured some of the parking spaces to make it mo re accessible and have less
crossings over drive thru areas. This solution requires a reduction of parking by 6 spaces
or 10% of the required parking (since last meeting we also had to add 3 spaces to the
parking calculation for the addition of a freezer in Building B which would not host people
but is considered in the GFA due to OBC regulations). Even with 6 reduced parking we still
believe the integrity of the parking standards can be maintained with the parking that has
been provided as the reduction is minor in nature.”
Planning Comments
Planning Staff have evaluated Minor Variance Application MV-2022-13 pursuant to the
prescribed tests as set out in Section 45 (1) of the Planning Act, as follows:
a) The proposed variance meets the general intent of the Official Plan
The proposed variance will support the development of a draft approved employment
subdivision block and provide uses that will enhance the viability of the employment area.
The site plan follows applicable urban design policies by siting the buildings to be closer
to Leslie Street to frame the streetscape, improve the pedestrian environment and partly
screen the parking and stacking spaces. Despite the deficiency in parking spa ces, it is
not expected to generate any significant impacts to the functionality of the subject site.
In considering the context of Official Plan policies, the variances requested are not
anticipated to have any negative impacts or non-conformities, and they fulfill the objective
of providing ancillary service uses for the area.
Staff are of the opinion that the requested variance meets the general intent of the Official
Plan.
Page 3 of 45
January 12, 2023 4 of 8 Report No. MV-2022-13
b) The proposed variance meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law
The general intent of the parking space requirement is to ensure that sufficient parking
spaces are provided to meet the needs of the proposed facilities and that vehicle spillover
will not occur for overcrowding the subject site.
The applicant submitted a Parking Justification letter prepared by C.F. Crozier &
Associates Inc., dated December 6, 2022, which concluded that the proposed parking
spaces are adequate. This review was performed based on a review of comparable
municipal zoning by-law requirements as well as parking demand forecast using the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Parking Generation Manual. Based on the
findings of this letter, the proposed vehicle parking supply for the development is
expected to adequately accommodate peak parking demand at the site. As determined
by Town transportation staff, the letter provides sufficient evidence that the reduction in
parking spaces is not anticipated to result in negative impacts on the development and
the operation of the proposed restaurants, nor will there be any negative impacts to the
surrounding areas.
Furthermore, the development provides for the required barrier-free vehicle parking
spaces, and further compensates the site users with additional bicycle parking spaces
which exceed municipal requirements. As the business park builds out, it is anticipated
that the area will become more walkable to accommodate patrons, thus also further
reducing the need for parking spaces.
Staff are of the opinion that the requested variance meets the general intent of the Zoning
By-law.
c) The proposed variance is considered desirable for the appropriate development of the
land
The proposed variance is considered desirable for the appropriate development of the
land in the context of the site and the adjacent neighbourhood.
The parking study sufficiently demonstrates that the proposed spaces are satisfactory in
accommodating the parking needs of the site. The study has been reviewed by the Town’s
Traffic/Transportation analyst and no traffic related concerns have been raised. It is in
the opinion of staff that the reduced parking spaces are sufficient to accommodate the
proposed restaurants.
Furthermore, the easterly portion of the subject Block (shown as retained for future
development on site plan) will be severed and merged with westerly portion of Block 2,
which is the block to the east of the subject property. A self -storage facility is proposed
to be erected on the future block and alongside the other future employment uses that
Page 4 of 45
January 12, 2023 5 of 8 Report No. MV-2022-13
the Business Park area will generate, the proposed restaurants will be walkable and
beneficial in servicing the ancillary needs of the employment area.
Staff are of the opinion that the requested variance is considered desirable for the
appropriate development of the property.
d) The proposed variance is considered minor in nature
In considering the impact and scale of the requested variance, it is considered to be minor
in the context of better utilizing the site for the permitted uses. Staff note that the
applicant has made significant improvements compared to the previous/initial
submission, the revised site plan provides for sufficient stacking spaces for both drive-
thru restaurants and the entrance to the northern drive-thru has been re-positioned to
improve the flow of internal traffic and pedestrian safety. It is also worth noting that
despite the freezer component being a storage area and not intended to be occupied by
patrons, it still contributes to the total GFA calculation of the building, thereby increasing
the parking space requirement, despite not having tangible impacts on the scale of use
for the property.
In conclusion, the parking space shortfall is minor and staff are of the opinion that the
proposed spaces are able to sufficiently meet the future site synergies when the adjacent
blocks are developed. The employees of the nearby future offices and industrial units
may also choose to walk or bike to access the site rather than drive. The functionality of
the site will not be negatively affected by the proposed variance, and the circulation, ease
of access, safety and screening have all been improved since previous submissions.
Staff are of the opinion that the requested variance is minor in nature.

Application
The applicant is requesting relief from the Town’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law 6000-
17, as amended, to facilitate the installation of two Molok garbage and recycling
enclosures in the front yard of the property. The Molok enclosures are intended to be
screened and would offer the property owner larger capacity garbage and recycling
storage with disposal services provided by a private company. A conceptual site plan
and details on the Molok enclosures are attached as Appendix ‘B’ to this report, and an
independent temperature and odour test report for the Molok system is attached as
Appendix ‘C’.
Proposed Variance
The following relief is being requested:
a) Section 4.20 of the Zoning Bylaw does not list garbage enclosures as a permitted
encroachment in the front yard. The applicant is proposing a garbage enclosure in
the front yard and seeks a variance to recognize it as a permitted encroachment.
Page 14 of 45
January 12, 2023 2 of 9 Report No. MV-2022-40
Background
Subject Property and Area Context
The subject lands are municipally known as 3 Jarvis Avenue and are located south of
Vandorf Sideroad on the east side of Jarvis Avenue. The subject lands have an
approximate lot area of 0.71 hectares (1.76 acres), and an approximate lot frontage of
71.1 m (233.27 ft). The subject lands currently contain a two-storey single-detached
dwelling with an approximate gross area of 797.58 square metres (8,582 square feet).
The subject property is part of a larger estate neighbourhood and also features rows of
mature trees that are present on the property lines.
Surrounding Land Uses
The subject lands are situated within an established estate residential neighbourhood
and are surrounded by large, separated estate residential dwellings in a low density
setting.
Official Plan
The property is designated as “Estate Residential” in the Town of Aurora Official Plan.
Single detached dwellings are permitted by the Official Plan, with the Estate Residential
designation being an area accommodating low density residential uses.
Zoning
The subject property is zoned ER (Estate Residential Zone) by Zoning By-law 6000-17, as
amended, which permits single detached dwellings. The Estate Residential Zone requires
the greatest lot frontage and setbacks within any residential zone to accommodate its
low-density nature and features.
Preliminary Zoning Review
A Preliminary Zoning Review (PZR) has been completed by the Town of Aurora’s
Building Division. The PZR identified the required variances and no other non-
compliance was identified.
Applicant’s stated reason(s) for not complying with the Zoning By-law
As stated on the application form: “The property owners would like larger capacity
garbage storage and disposal service to be provided by a private company without
company vehicles entering property grounds. This calls for concealed ‘Molok’ storage
units to be located in the front yard relative to the primary house location.”
Page 15 of 45
January 12, 2023 3 of 9 Report No. MV-2022-40
The applicant also provided further reasoning of using Moloks rather than municipal
waste collection service in a separate response to staff:
“The property owners like the Molok system because they can keep garbage/recycling
items underground and it is more sanitary and a better use of space that way. The
primary main garage has been repurposed into a gym, and they have a car charger in the
smaller garage. They are a large family of 7 and very often have grandparents and other
family members visiting, so they do produce more garbage than a small household.
They feel it’s a more sensible solution to keep it away from the garage and in an
enclosed underground can.”
Planning Comments
Planning Staff have evaluated Minor Variance Application MV-2022-40 pursuant to the
prescribed tests as set out in Section 45 (1) of the Planning Act, as follows:
a) The proposed variance meets the general intent of the Official Plan
The general intent of the Estate Residential designation is to accommodate low intensity
residential uses with dwellings separated from one another in a low density setting. New
development shall reflect the established heights, massing and landscape quality found
in the area and shall be integrated in a sensitive manner within the natural environment
and alongside the established residential fabric.
The neighbourhood is characterized by large single-detached dwellings situated on
sizable lots with ample lot frontage, and mature vegetation is present in the interior of the
site and along the lot lines of the property. The proposed Moloks will be located in the
front yard behind existing mature trees and there is also a proposed landscape buffer
consisting of tall shrubs/hedges with layered landscaping to be provided which offer
screening from public view. It is also noted by the applicant that the height of the
enclosures can be installed to be less than 1.0 metres above grade, which can help
minimize its exposure and overall visibility to public view. Staff also note that there are
no sidewalks on Jarvis Avenue, with proximity or direct exposure to the garbage
enclosures not anticipated for pedestrians. The installation of the Moloks do not change
the planning use of the property and are acceptable within the low density setting.
It is Planning Staff’s opinion that the proposed variance will not result in negative impact
on the character and streetscape of the existing estate residential neighbourhood, and as
such, Staff are of the opinion that the requested variance meets the general intent of the
Official Plan.
Page 16 of 45
January 12, 2023 4 of 9 Report No. MV-2022-40
b) The proposed variance meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law
The general intent of regulating the front yard encroachment is to ensure that there is no
negative impact to the character of an area or streetscape.
Although the installation of a garbage enclosure is not permitted as a front yard
encroachment in the Zoning By-law, other listed/permitted encroachments include
flagpoles, clothes lines, and even retaining walls. The intent of the Zoning By-law
provision is again focused on maintaining a high quality public realm, and although it does
not list every instance or item of potential encroachment, so long as there are no negative
visual, noise, or odour impacts, the intent of the Zoning By-law is met.
The Moloks are modest in their overall massing, scale and height thus resulting in
minimal visual obstruction and impact. The proposed Moloks are not intended for large
scale commercial/industrial uses and therefore the footprint is significantly reduced from
a standard industrial/commercial sized Molok. The requested variance will result in
minimal visual impacts as there is ample building separation and front yard area. The
Moloks will be buffered by existing trees and planned landscaping and there is ample
distance (more than 12 metres) from the Moloks to the south property line, along with
existing mature tree row along the south property line which acts as landscaped buffer
screening the enclosures.
The applicant has also submitted an independent study (attached as Appendix ‘C’) of the
Molok in-ground waste and organics storage system conducted by the Earth Rangers
Centre for Sustainable Technology (ERC), to evaluate its ability to buffer changes in
outdoor temperature and control odours. The study was conducted for over two years,
and findings of the study conclude that temperatures are kept low within the Molok
system, and that the low temperature results in minimal to no odour.
Staff are of the opinion that the requested variance meets the general intent of the Zoning
By-law.
c) The proposed variance is considered desirable for the appropriate development of the
land
The requested minor variance to accommodate the installation of two Moloks has been
considered in the context of the site and the adjacent neighbourhood.
It is in the opinion of staff that even with the addition of the two Moloks in the front yard,
the property will continue to be in keeping with the other surrounding estate properties of
the neighbourhood area. The proposed Moloks are of moderate size and height and are
strategically located to reduce visual obstruction and impact to the public realm. Staff do
not anticipate that the variance as requested will result in significant negative impacts
Page 17 of 45
January 12, 2023 5 of 9 Report No. MV-2022-40
and that the appearance of the property will remain compatible with the surrounding
neighbourhood.
Commercial activities are not planned on the property, and as such, the Moloks are not
intended to assist any commercial/business purpose. The Moloks are significantly
reduced in its overall footprint and size as compared to Moloks intended for
commercial/multi-unit residential use. Any unpermitted commercial use would be strictly
enforced.
The collection will be completed through a private company service. As noted by the
applicant, Molok garbage is planned to be collected biweekly, and the collection times
will be during regular business hours between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. As confirmed by Town
Public Works staff, the Molok garbage truck would result in similar noise level as a regular
GFL garbage truck, while the length of time for a Molok garbage collection would be
slightly longer than municipal garbage collection process, requiring approximately 2 ½
minutes to pickup and reinstall the waste container. The garbage collection truck will park
on the driveway’s entrance portion in front of the proposed gate and is not anticipated to
disrupt the public realm during the collection process. In conclusion, the collection
process is very similar to municipal curbside garbage pickup with comparable noise level
and would only require slightly longer pickup duration.
As noted in a third party study of Molok system submitted as part of the application
(attached as Appendix ‘C’), Molok units can control temperature by allowing a cool
climate within its system, thus able to keep waste and organics at lower temperatures to
slow decomposition and reduce odours emanating from within the containers.
Staff are of the opinion that the requested variance is considered desirable for the
appropriate development of the property.
d) The proposed variance is considered minor in nature
In considering the scale and size of the proposed Moloks there is minimal impact
resulting from their installation in the front yard. The streetscape will largely remain
unaltered as the Moloks will be positioned behind existing mature trees located on the
road side, and additional landscaping (perennials/shrubs measured 1.2 metres or higher)
will also be planted around the Moloks. These measures will help mitigate the visual
impacts of the Moloks by effectively screening the proposed structures for the abutting
properties and from public view. Furthermore, abundant front yard space lessens the
proposed structures’ visual impedance. The character of the neighbourhood is

municipal pickup process and the usage of Moloks is not anticipated to result in odour or
any other related issues that can result in public nuisance.
Staff are of the opinion that the requested variance is minor in nature.

Public Correspondence
Three (3) written submissions were received at the time of writing of this report. The
written submissions express similar concerns to one another and are summarized below
including staff’s responses to the comments:
Concern with the
appropriateness of Moloks
that are commercial/industrial
in nature in an estate
residential neighbourhood
The proposed Moloks are designed to be much
smaller scale than Moloks intended for commercial
or industrial uses, to accommodate for the residential
use purpose. The height of the Moloks are
comparable to a regular large sized garbage bin,
which ranges from 1 - 1.15 metres, while the diameter
of 1.3 metres only slightly exceeds most
conventional garbage bin sizes which have a
diagonal range from 1 – 1.15 metres. The Moloks will
be a shorter, and only slightly wider version of a
regular large size garbage container. The exterior of
the Moloks will be wood panel with metal rim and
matte black plastic lid. The design can help mitigate
its physical presence and the wood panel exterior can
help to imitate the surrounding landscaped
environment.
In short, the Moloks are partially screened and
strategically placed to be out of public view. Its
overall mass, bulk and height is not too egregious
that it would result in incompatibility with the general
neighbourhood at-large.
Despite being an alternative form of garbage storage
and collection, the pickup method is similar to that of
curbside garbage pickup. The resulting noise level
and duration of pickup is not anticipated to be
deemed as a public nuisance.
Based on a third party study of Moloks performance
(attached as Appendix ‘C’), the Moloks are found to
be able to effectively control temperature within the
containers, thereby eliminating the emission of
unpleasant odour or result in waste leakage.
Concern with the location and
lack of buffering/screening
The proposed location is partially screened by
existing mature trees adjacent to the driveway
entrance. Additional landscaping measures are also
proposed to provide added screening to the Moloks
from public view. There is also abundant separation
distance from the Moloks to any adjoining lands
preventing it from direct exposure to neighbouring
residents.
Page 20 of 45
January 12, 2023 8 of 9 Report No. MV-2022-40
The garbage pickup truck will be parking on the
driveway during collection process, which minimizes
any disruption to the public realm and adjoining
property owners.
To account for this concern, staff have also
recommended a condition of approval being to
ensure landscape screening as shown in Appendix
‘B’ is provided to buffer the Moloks.
Concern with overall
aesthetics and appeal of the
property
The Moloks are limited in size and height, and are
also screened partially by landscaping and mature
trees, which would prevent them from being
physically imposing to the public realm.
As mentioned, a condition to require the landscaped
screening is also included.
Conclusion
Planning staff have reviewed the application with respect to the Section 45(1) of the
Planning Act, R.S.O, 1990, c.P.13, as amended, and are of the opinion that the requested
variance meets the four tests of the Planning Act for the granting of minor variances.
Staff recommend approval of the requested variances subject to the conditions outlined
in Appendix ‘A’.

Appendix ‘A’ – Recommended Conditions of Approval
The following conditions are required to be satisfied should application MV-2022-40 be
approved by the Committee of Adjustment:
1. That the variance only applies to the subject property, in substantial conformity
with the plan(s) attached as ‘Appendix B’ to this Staff Report, to the satisfaction
of the Director of Planning and Development Services or designate; and,
2. That the Owner shall provide and maintain appropriate screening to screen the
proposed Moloks, which includes, but not limited to: a landscaped buffer strip
containing shrubs, hedges, plantings or other ground cover, and any other
additional screening measures, to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and
Development Services or designate.

The Earth Rangers Centre for Sustainable Technology (ERC) was retained to complete an
independent study of the Molok in-ground waste and organics storage system for its ability to
buffer changes in outdoor temperature and thus reduce odours.
The following two (2) findings are discussed in more detail in the report below and represent a
testing over one (1) year of measurements.
FINDING 1: Temperatures measured from 50” from the top to the bottom of both the waste and
organics Moloks at all times were lower than the average temperature of our temperature
controlled waste room. From the top to 25” below the top, temperatures were on average lower
than that of our conditioned waste room 78.7% of the time.
FINDING 2: At no time did odours, measured by our calibrated odour meter, directly outside the
Molok exceed that of our temperature controlled waste room
Overall, our findings indicate that the Molok outperformed our temperature controlled waste
room in slowing decomposition by keeping waste and organics at lower temperatures and
reducing odours emanating from Moloks.
METHODOLOGY
Temperature probes were installed in the interior bag of the Molok waste organics container and
on the interior tube of the Molok organics container. In total, four (4) temperature probes were
installed on each Molok container at the following levels:
Top of Bin
25” from Top of Bin
50” from Top of Bin
Bottom of Bin
The temperature data logger on both Molok containers was set to measure temperatures every
hour. This log was downloaded every 2 weeks and the data collected for one (1) years.
Odours were measured using the following equipment:
Levitt Safety IAQ monitor set to measure CO2, SO2, NO, O2, and ambient temperature
KanoMax Handheld Odor Meter OMX-ADM, which measure hydrogen sulfide, methyl
mercaptan, ammonia and other odour causing substances.
Odours and temperatures were measured bi-weekly (every 2 weeks) for a period of one (1) year.
Odours were measured at the Molok area and also in our waste room for comparison purposes.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Based on the results of our one (1) year study on temperatures and odours emanating from the
Waste and Organics Molok containers, we measured the temperatures at intervals of one (1) hour
for at four (4) different depths for each Molok container. The below colour coded chart represents
the average temperatures for each month found at the different depths of measurement. Note that
the average summer temperature of the ERC conditioned waste room was 22.0 °C.

Malfunction in Data Logger
Areas shaded in blue represent Molok temperatures that are lower than the average summer ERC
conditioned waste room temperature and areas shaded in red represent temperatures that are
above. From this we can see that the top 25” of the Organics Molok container, on average, in the
months of July and August, may cause temperatures to be slightly higher. However, the bottom
of the Organics Molok container to 50” from the top are significantly cooler.
We hypothesize that the Organics Molok container has warmer temperatures than the waste
container due to 3 possible differences:
1) As organics decompose, they release heat;
2) The organics Molok container is made of a rigid plastic that insulates better than the
waste Molok container bag; and
3) The larger diameter of the waste Molok container and shape of the bag (i.e. tied at the
bottom) allow for better natural convection than the relatively slimmer profile and rigid
cylindrical shape of the organics Molok container
The Kanomax odour monitor was provided the most accurate readings of odours and measured
odours on a scale from 0 to 999 with 0 being no detectable presence of any odour causing

OTHER FINDINGS
A chart of the standard deviation for temperature is expressed as the average of the deviations per month
away from the mean temperature is below. A trend is that the further from the top of the Molok container
reduces the standard deviation of the temperatures – meaning that there is less variance and overall
swing in temperatures towards the bottom of the Molok container.

This study also encompassed a comparison of temperatures and odours
from our temperature controlled waste room. ERC completed this study
over a period of two (2) years. With the only differences being:
• in the second year of the study the measurement frequency for
odours was greater than in the first year; and
• in the second year of the study we measured the energy
consumption of our temperature controlled waste room in order to
estimate the energy cost of operating our waste room
The following two (3) findings are discussed in more detail in the report
below and represent a testing over two (2) year of measurements.
FINDING 1: Temperatures measured from 50” from the top to the
bottom of both the waste and organics Molok containers at all times
were lower than the average temperature of our temperature controlled
waste room. From the top to 25” below the top, temperatures were on
average lower than that of our conditioned waste room 78.7% of the
time.
FINDING 2: At no time did odours, measured by our calibrated
odour meter, directly outside the Molok container exceed that of our
temperature controlled waste room
Overall, our findings indicate that the Molok container outperformed
our temperature controlled waste room in slowing decomposition by
keeping waste and organics at lower temperatures and reducing odours
emanating from Molok containers.
FINDING 3: Based on data collected from building submeters. The
total energy consumption to condition our waste room was 2,940 kWh
which equates to a cost to condition our waste room of approximately
$323.42. The Molok containers did not cost any energy to condition or
maintain in 2018. Therefore, the net savings if we were to only use the
Moloks for waste, recycling and organics would be $323.42 per year.
METHODOLOGY
Temperature probes were installed in the interior bag of the Molok
waste organics container and on the interior tube of the Molok organics
container. In total, four (4) temperature probes were installed on each
Molok container at the following levels:
Top of Bin, 25” from Top of Bin, 50” from Top of Bin, Bottom of Bin
The temperature data logger on both Molok containers was set to
measure temperatures every hour. This log was downloaded every 2
weeks and the data collected for one (1) years.
Odours and temperatures were measured bi-weekly (every 2 weeks) for
a period of one (1) year. Odours were measured at the Molok area and
also in our waste room for comparison purposes.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Based on the results of our two (2) year study on temperatures and
odours emanating from the Waste and Organics Molok containers,
we measured the temperatures at intervals of one (1) hour for at four
(4) different depths for each Molok container. The below graph shows
the temperatures from the waste and organics Molok containers vs the
temperatures from our conditioned waste room. Please note that the
temperatures were much more constant 50” from the top of the bin to
the bottom of the bin for both the waste and organics Molok containers.
The Earth Rangers Centre for Sustainable Technology (ERC) was retained to complete
an independent study of the Molok in-ground waste and organics storage system for its
ability to buffer changes in outdoor temperature and thus reduce odours.

86 Tyler Street
File: MV-2022-49
Prepared by: Mark Chuang, Planner
Department: Planning and Development Services
Date: January 12, 2023
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Application
The applicant is requesting relief from the requirements of the Town’s Comprehensive
Zoning By-law 6000-17, as amended, to allow a proposed one-storey garage addition and
a one-storey rear addition. The proposed garage addition is 18.8 m2 (202 ft2) and the rear
addition is 74.5 m2 (802 ft2), with the existing dwelling being 291.8 m2 (3,141 ft2) on the
973.1 m2 (10,474 ft2) lot.
PROPOSED VARIANCE
The following relief is being requested:
a) Section 7.2 of the Zoning By-law restricts lot coverage to a maximum of 35.0%.
The applicant is proposing a one-storey garage addition and a one-storey rear
addition which will result in a total lot coverage of 39.6%, thereby requiring a
variance of 4.6%.
Background
Subject Property and Area Context
The subject property, municipally known as 86 Tyler Street, is located on the north side
of Tyler Street, west of George Street. The property contains an existing 2-storey detached
dwelling with an attached garage. There is a swimming pool located in the rear yard and
mature trees located in the front yard. The property has an area of 973.1 m2 (10,474 ft2)
and an approximate lot frontage of 16.13 metres (approximately 53 feet). The
Page 36 of 45
January 12, 2023 2 of 7 Report No. MV-2022-49
surrounding neighbourhood is residential and generally characterized by one and two
storey dwellings, with instances of new infill development.
Proposal
The owner is proposing a one-storey garage addition to provide additional length for
existing parking spaces and additional storage space. There is no work occurring to the
existing driveway itself, and there are no other non-conformities other than the lot
coverage. Additionally, the owner is proposing a one-storey rear addition that is to serve
as a three-season room and provide additional semi-outdoor living space while being
protected from the elements.
The owner also intends on constructing a covered front porch to provide additional
covered area and enhanced curb appeal. As per the Town’s Zoning By-law, the covered
front porch is excluded in the lot coverage calculation.
Official Plan
The subject property is designated “Stable Neighbourhoods” by the Town of Aurora’s
Official Plan, which seeks to ensure that residential neighbourhoods are protected from
incompatible forms of development, while allowing the neighbourhoods to be enhanced
over time. Further, the Stable Neighbourhoods designation provides for single detached
dwellings as a permitted use.
Zoning
The property is zoned R3 “Detached Third Density Residential Zone”, which permits single
detached dwellings.
The property is not located within the Town’s specific site plan control areas for Stable
Neighbourhoods.
Preliminary Zoning Review
A Preliminary Zoning Review (PZR) has been completed by the Town of Aurora’s Building
Division. The PZR identified the required variances and no other non-compliance was
identified. The owner was also asked to provide confirmation that there is no work
occurring to the existing driveway, which was confirmed by the owner over email, to again
ensure no other non-compliance with the proposal.
Applicant’s stated reason(s) for not complying with the Zoning By-law
As stated on the application form, “the garage addition provides additional length for
existing parking spaces due to larger vehicles and provides additional storage to the
Page 37 of 45
January 12, 2023 3 of 7 Report No. MV-2022-49
already existing shallow garage. The covered front porch provides additional covered
area from the elements when entering the house and enhances curb appeal. The three
season room addition provides additional outdoor living space while being protected
from the elements.”
Planning Comments
Planning Staff have evaluated Minor Variance Application MV- 2022-49 pursuant to the
prescribed tests as set out in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act, as follows:
a) The proposed variance meets the general intent of the Official Plan
The intent of the Official Plan designation is to ensure neighbourhoods are protected
from incompatible forms of development, while allowing the neighbourhoods to be
enhanced over time. The Official Plan states that new development abutting existing
residential development shall be sympathetic to the form and character of existing
development with regards to building scale and urban design. The proposal features high
quality design and material such that there will be no negative impacts on the streetscape
or character of the area. The additional garage parking also ensures that cars will not be
parked on the road and are also out of sight from the public realm. The front of the
property features mature trees and landscaping which will be retained as well.
Staff are of the opinion that the general intent of the Official Plan is maintained.
b) The proposed variance meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law
The intent of the maximum lot coverage provision is to ensure that adequate open space
on a lot is provided for privacy, landscaping, access, and drainage.
The applicant is requesting a lot coverage of 39.6%, whereas the Zoning By-law limits the
lot coverage to a maximum of 35%. Engineering Staff and Bylaw Staff have provided
comments stating no objections particularly related to potential drainage issues.
Staff are of the opinion that the requested variance is in keeping with the intent of the
Zoning By-law and provides for privacy, spacing between dwellings and appropriate
drainage of the lands.
c) The proposed variance is considered desirable for the appropriate development of the
land
Staff are of the opinion that the garage addition and the rear addition will not negatively
impact the existing neighbourhood character. The property benefits from substantial
landscape screening and the proposal will feature high quality materials and design to
Page 38 of 45
January 12, 2023 4 of 7 Report No. MV-2022-49
have no negative impacts on the streetscape. The garage space for cars and storage also
ensures the overall tidiness of the lot.
Staff are of the opinion that the requested variance is desirable for the appropriate
development of the land.
d) The proposed variance is considered minor in nature
The garage addition and the rear addition are considered moderate in scale and the
requested variance is not anticipated to result in any negative impacts to the
neighbourhood or abutting properties.
As such, Staff are of the opinion that the requested variance is minor in nature.
Additional Comments
