DEPUTATION BY MR. HERMAN YANG REGARDING MOTION 15-G-110, SECOND SUITES ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT
Mr. Herman Yang provided a deputation in opposition to motion 15-G-110 concerning the Second Suites Zoning By-law Amendment. Mr. Yang provided a slide presentation discussing his concerns with the proposed Second Suites Zoning By-law amendment.
Mr. Yang discussed slides regarding the following topics:
• His background;
• Target Demographics for Second Suites;
• His opinion on housing requirements for the target demographics;
• How to protect the City of Barrie;
• Illustrations of sample layouts for second suites that would not be permitted with the proposed gross floor area restrictions; and
• His opinion that raised bungalows are best suited for second suites in Barrie.
Mr. Yang suggested changes to the Second Suites Zoning By-law Amendment including determining the size restrictions based on dwelling floor area instead of gross floor area, increase the maximum percentage of floor area or establishing a third condition concerning the allowable gross floor area for a second suite, commenting that if second suite is more than 40% of the gross floor area of the principle dwelling unit as provided for in the Zoning By-law, if the total square footage of the primary and secondary units combined are less than 3000 total square feet.
