Comments:
- Variance Application A.20/99EY
Anthony and Kleoniki Barkas
Re: 37 Beechwood Drive
The owners of 37 Beechwood Drive are proposing to construct a detached garage in front of
their detached dwelling. Their proposal requires variances from the maximum lot coverage
and side yard setback requirements, and a variance from the zoning provision prohibiting
accessory buildings in front of the house. On February 16, 1999, the Committee of
Adjustment approved the variances. The owners also requested a variance to permit a deck on
the roof of the proposed garage, which the Committee of Adjustment refused. The decision
was appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board by a neighbour who objected to the approval of
the three variances.
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.22/99EY
Beth Johnson
Re:47 Vanderhoof Avenue
The applicant is proposing to construct a second storey addition and a one and two storey
addition to the existing one storey detached dwelling. On March 16, 1999, the Committee of
Adjustment approved a variance to the side yard setback requirement, but refused the
applicant's request for a variance to the floor space index requirement.
Staff did not take a position on this application, and do not recommend that Council direct
staff to attend the hearing.
