A minor variance application is required to accommodate the proposed severance of Lot 3.

The retained lot (Lot 1) is proposed to have a lot frontage of approximately 10.65 m (34.94 ft.), a depth of 28.62 m (93.89 ft.) and a lot area of 282 m² (3,035.42 ft²).

A65/19 (Lot 3): The applicant is requesting a minor variance from Zoning By-law 150-85 to reduce the rear yard setback to 3.0 m (9.8 ft.) where a minimum of 7.5 m (24.6 ft.) is required.
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.
