CARRIED Report # 75 -York Regional Land Division Committee -230.80.A Rayjac Management Limited Date: Name: Address: Property: July 31, 1980 Rayjac Management Limited c/o Goodman and Carr, 2800 York Centre, 145 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 3K1 Part Block A, Plan 550, Town of Aurora In The Matter Of Subsection 3 of Section 42 of The Planning Act (R.S.O. 1970, C.349} as amended, and In The Matter Of an application by Rayjac Management Limited, for consent to release a right-of-way over the parcel marked "A" on a sketch attached as Appendix Number 1. Before: R.E. Preston (Chairman}, W. Bales, G. Bellach, E. Chester, G.R. Gregory, Mrs. M.I. Smithyes, W.J. Taylor, being a quorum of the Land Division Committee on Tuesday, July 29, 1980. Barbara Edelstone of Goodman and Carr, Solicitors and authorized agent, appeared at the Hearing. COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th, 1980 -10- REPORTS OF COMMITTEES: (continued) Report # 75 -York Regional Land Division Committee -230.80.A Rayjac Management Limited {continued) The Owner seeks consent to release a right-of-way, over the parcel marked "A" on the attached sketch. The owner's tot a 1 ho 1 ding is shown as parcel "B" on the attached sketch. Both the subject land and the owner's land are vacant. In reaching a decision, the Committee had regard to all of the matters set out in subsection 4 of section 33 of The Planning Act and to the written and oral submissions and comments made at the Hearing. The owner's land is designated as "Urban Residential" by the approved Official Plan, which provides that the predominant use shall be for residential purposes. The land is zoned "Single Family Residential", which requires lot frontages of not less than 50 feet on a public street and lot areas of not less than 5,000 square feet. The Committee is advised that Rayjac Management Limited was the original developer of Registered Plan M-49, which is comprised of thirteen residential lots fronting on Banbury Court, and three blocks. Blocks A and B front on Brookland Avenue onto which Banbury Court exits, and also flank Banbury Court. The third block, Block C, is located at the extreme north-easterly corner of the Plan and abuts the easterly limit of Lot 6 and the easterly and northerly limits of Lot 7. Except for the right-of-way that is the subject of this application, Block C appears to be land-locked. Reportedly, Lots 6 and 7, among others, have been conveyed, with the result that Rayjac Management Limited continues to own Block C, but no other abutting land. The right-of-way presently held by Rayjac extends between Block C and Yonge Street, opposite Dunning Avenue. The westerly two-thirds, approximately, of the right-of-way is over land held by the abutting owner, Granada Investments Limited and it is over this land that Rayjac wishes to release its right-of-way. The Committee's jurisdiction is limited to granting consent to only those matters set out in subsection 2 of section 29 of The Planning Act. In the opinion of the Committee, the application before it is not a matter that comes within subsection 2 of section 29 of The Planning Act. In the opinion of the Committee, the application before it is not a matter that comes within subsection 2 of section 29 and therefore, is not within the jurisdiction of this Committee. In an event, relinquishing the existing right-of-way -which is the~ means of legal access to Block C, would result in Block C being totally land-locked and with no means of access. The Committee is unable to determine why Rayjac would wish to give up the only means of access it has to Block C, which, according to the evidence, Rayjac proposes to continue to own as a vacant parcel. The Committee concludes that even if it did have juriscition to deal with the application for the release of the right-of-way, it would not grant consent since it would result in Block C being totally without means of legal access.

Before: R.E. Preston (Chairman), W. Bales, G. Bellach, E. Chester, G.R. Gregory, W.J. Taylor, being a quorum of the Land Division Committee on Tuesday, August 19, 1980. Thomas B. McPherson, Solicitor, appeared at'the Hearing. The owner seeks consent to convey the subject 1 and marked "A" on the attached sketch, for agricultural purposes, and retain the land marked "B" for agricultural purposes. There is an existing dwelling, a garage and a shed located on the subject land. The garage and the shed will be moved. There is an existing dwelling located on the land to be retained. In reaching a decision, the Committee had regard to all of the matters set out in subsection 4 of section 33 of The Planning Act and to the written and oral submissions and comments made at the Hearing. The owner's 1 and is designated as "Rura 1" by the approved Official Plan which provides that the predominant use shall be for agriculture, forestry and activities connected with the conservation of soil and wildlife. Uses may also include restricted rural non-farm residential development on a limited scale and at a very low density by consent of the Land Division Committee and in accordance with the following policies: 1. The general policy in the Rural designated areas is to prevent urban development and encourage the maintenance of these areas for rural and agricultural uses; 2. Good agricultural land should be preserved for agricultural purposes. The use for which the parcel is proposed should be related to agriculture, outside of built-up areas. Scattered, isolated residential development throughout the planning area should be prevented; 3. The size of any parcel of land created by consent should be appropriate for the use proposed. No parcel should be created which does not conform to the provisions of the implementing zoning bylaw and the policies of the Plan; 4. The proposed lots should be in character with existing neighbouring lots in the area in terms of lot size, lot frontage and depth. The proposed use should be compatible with the uses in adjacent areas and should be examined in terms of the effect of the use on the surrounding area; 5. The minimum distance separation formula of the Agricultural Code of Practice shall be used to determine adequate separation of the proposed lot from existing or proposed livestock operations located on adjacent lots. The land is zoned "Rural" by Bylaw 2142-77 and is zoned "Rural General" by Bylaw 2213-78 passed by Council on June 16, 1980 but not yet approved by the Municipal Board. The existing frontage and area requirements for residential purposes is 600 feet and 25 acres, respectively. The proposed requirements are 180 metres (590.55 feet) and 10 hectares (24.71 acres). ---·~-~----~--•·---~~"-'-'·'"-·•-·----•----•••~· -----··----·-~-·=v~~~--·-~~-~~~~•~•~'~"•-~«•-~~·-·---·-·......0.~~---~·---•~••-••·~·-~---~•-·-··-····-------- ""~-' COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th, 1980 -12- REPORTS OF COMMITTEES: (continued} Report# 77 -York Regional Land Division Committee ••• Sub. 244.80.A l~u~·~l ~---L~---~\ In the opinion of the Committee, the proposal would not conform to the existing Zoning Bylaw in respect of frontage and area but would conform to the proposed Bylaw if approved by the Municipal Board. At the present time, there are two existing dwellings on the owner's holding. One of the dwellings is a converted barn and is located to the west, more or less behind the existing farm dwelling and distant some 90 metres (295 feet). Because of the relative position of the two dwellings, the owner proposes to "jog" the line of severance in order to convey the converted dwelling with the subject land and retain the existing farm dwelling on the remainder. The Committee notes that the existing and intended use of both the subject and remaining lands is "Agricultural". The owner's holding has a total area of approximately 50 acres of which the Committee estimates approximately 20 percent is low-lying, covered with bush, trees, a pond, or is restricted to residential uses. Of the balance, approximately 35 percent appears to have been newly reforested, with the remaining 65 percent capable of or used for farming purposes. The Committee is of the opinion that the proposal would not conform to the Official Plan. The viability of the existing holding for agricultural purposes at present is, at best, marginal. The applicant proposes that each of the resulting lots will be used for agricultural purposes. The Offical Plan requires that the size of any parcel created by consent should be appropriate for the use proposed uses. The proposal would contribute to the break-up of good agricultural land and result in parcels that are not viable for agricultural purposes. In addition, the subject land would not conform to the existing By-law with regard t minimum frontage and 1 ot area. For all of the foregoing reasons, it is, therefore, the decision of the Land Division Committee, that consent be REFUSED TO Application Number 244.80.A. Isaacson: Resolved that York Regional Land Division Committee Report# 77 dated Pedersen: September 3rd, 1980 (Sub. 244.80.A -David Lakie} be accepted.
