Description
The applicant is requesting the following minor variances from Zoning By-law 150-85: 1. A front yard setback of 4.24 m (13.9 ft.) whereas 6.0 m (19.69 ft.) is required, 2. An exterior side yard setback of 2.11 m (6.9 ft.) whereas 6.0 m (19.69 ft.) is required; and, 3. To permit an existing second driveway, whereas the by-law only permits one driveway access. The dwelling has an existing legal non-conforming setback to the exterior side yard of 3.49 m (11.45 ft.) whereas the Zoning By-law requires a 6.0 m (19.69 ft.) setback on a corner lot. The minor variance will facilitate the construction of a one storey sunroom addition on the front of the existing detached dwelling.
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.
