DATE:December 4, 1998
TO:North York Community Council
FROM:Roberto Stopnicki, P. Eng.,
Director, Transportation Services, District 3
SUBJECT:Curb Cut - 67 Claver Avenue
North York, Spadina, Ward 8
Purpose:
The property owner has requested a curb cut extension of 1.4 metres to the west of his
driveway. The 1.4 metre proposed widening along with the existing driveway width of 6.1
metres would provide a total driveway opening of 7.5 metres. Presently, the Departments
policy permits a maximum driveway opening, not to exceed 6.1 metres.
Funding Sources:
All costs to process and administer a curb cut are to be covered by the property owner.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that no immediate action be taken as the resident has the maximum
driveway width permitted.
Council Reference:
By - Law No. 29189 amending Zoning By - Law No. 7625 (Zoning) in part reads as follows:
"The width of any driveway in the front yard or side of a dwelling shall not exceed 6.1 metres
in width unless said driveway leads to a private garage or carport, in which case the width of
the driveway may exceed 6.1 metres but may not exceed the width of the garage or carport."
Comments and/or Discussion:
Presently, the above property has a double car garage and no carport. The double car garage
entitles the owner to the maximum allowable curb cut opening of 6.1 metres.
Conclusions:
The proposed curb cut extension will be contrary to North York By - Law No. 29189
amending Zoning By - Law No. 7625 (Zoning) that permits a maximum driveway opening not
to exceed 6.1 metres.
