Re: 34 Bennington Heights Drive
The owners of 34 Bennington Heights Drive are proposing to demolish the existing dwelling
on the property, and to construct a new detached dwelling. They applied to the Committee of
Adjustment for minor variances to the front yard setback, maximum building height and
maximum driveway width regulations. On November 17, 1998, the Committee of Adjustment
approved variances to the front yard setback and driveway width regulations, but refused the
request for a variance to the building height regulation. The decision was appealed by twelve
neighbours.
Staff did not take a position on this application, and do not recommend that Council direct
staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing.
- Variance Application A.138/98EY
Mozafar Maleki
Re:244 Sutherland Drive
The applicant is proposing to construct a parking pad in front of the dwelling, with access
from Sutherland Drive. The applicant requested a variance to the zoning by-law regulation
that prohibits accessory structures between the main front wall of the dwelling and the front
lot line. On October 20, 1998, the Committee of Adjustment refused the application. The
owner appealed the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board.
Staff did not take a position on this application, and do not recommend that Council direct
staff to attend the hearing.
