Variance Application A40/99EY
Mr. Peter Colarossi
Re: 150 Glenvale Boulevard
The applicant is proposing to construct a second storey addition and a two-storey rear addition to the dwelling at 150
Glenvale Boulevard. He applied to the Committee of Adjustment for variances from the maximum floor space index and
building length requirements, and the minimum side yard setback requirement. On April 13, 1999, the Committee
approved variances to the building length and side yard requirements, but refused the floor space index variance. The
applicant 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 Ontario
Municipal Board hearing.
2.Consent Applications B7/99EY and B8/99EY
Variance Applications A41/99EY, A42/99EY and A43/99EY
Ms. Maria Missailidis
Re:7 and 9 King Edward Avenue
The applicant requested the consent of the Committee of Adjustment to sever the land at 7 and 9 King Edward Avenue into
three lots for detached dwellings. The applicant also requested a variance to the minimum lot frontage requirement for each
proposed lot, and variances to the side yard setback requirements for both side yards on each proposed lot. On April 13,
1999, the Committee of Adjustment refused all of the consent and variance applications. The applicant 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 Ontario
Municipal Board hearing.
3.Variance Application A44/99EY
Mr. Peter Zotalis
Re: 35 Beechwood Drive
The applicant requested a variance to permit a carport in front of the house at 35 Beechwood Drive. He applied to the
Committee of Adjustment for relief from the side yard setback requirement and from the restriction against accessory
structures in the front yard. The Committee of Adjustment refused the application on May 11, 1999. The applicant
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 Ontario
Municipal Board hearing.
4.Variance Application A55/99EY
Mr. David Black (Timothy's Coffees of the World Inc.)
Re: 1515 Bayview Avenue
The applicants requested a variance to the restaurant parking standard in order to permit a coffee shop on the ground floor
of the building at the northeast corner of Bayview Avenue and Millwood Road. On May 11, 1999, the Committee of
Adjustment approved the application. The decision was appealed by several residents of Donegal Drive.
The Transportation Services Division provided the Committee of Adjustment with comments on the application, and
indicated they have no objection to the proposal. Staff did not provide the Committee with a recommendation on the
disposal of the application, however, and do not recommend that Council direct staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board
hearing.
