Description
The applicant is requesting the following minor variances from Zoning By-law 150-85 to permit: 1. A reduced rear year setback to 4.0 m (13.1 ft.) where a minimum of 7.5 m (24.6 ft.) is required. 2. A reduced front yard setback to 4.96 m (16.27 ft.) where a minimum of 6 m (19.7 ft.) is required. Severance applications B18/19 and B19/20 were approved at the December Committee of Adjustment meeting. The associated minor variance file A65/19 was refused. The applicant has amended the proposal and has submitted a new variance application with an increased rear yard setback.
What this kind of application is
The Committee of Adjustment decides minor variances (small exceptions to the zoning by-law, such as a reduced setback or an extra unit) and consents (severing a lot, or adding an easement). Nearby owners are mailed a notice and can speak at the hearing.
