Description
The applicant is requesting the following minor variances from Zoning By-law 150-85 to facilitate a secondary dwelling unit: 1. A minimum lot area of approximately 434.6 m² (4,678 ft²) whereas the by-law requires a minimum of 450 m² (4,843 ft²) for a secondary dwelling unit, and 2. A minimum interior side yard setback of approximately 0.97 m (3.2 ft.) whereas the by-law requires a minimum of 1.2 m (3.9 ft.) to the entrance/stairs of a secondary dwelling unit. The applicant is proposing to create a two bedroom secondary dwelling unit in the basement of the existing house. The application meets the minimum required parking and open landscaping to permit a secondary dwelling unit.
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.
