APPEAL OF COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT DECISIONS

Director, Community Planning, West District

(April 16, 1999)

Purpose:

To provide information on appeals of Committee of Adjustment decisions which have been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board and to recommend whether or not legal and staff representation is warranted.

Financial Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

There will be no financial costs associated with the appeal.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(1)Legal and staff representation not be provided for the appeals regarding application no. A-16/99YK for 34 Claxton Boulevard and application no. A-17/99YK for 88 John Street.

Comment:

The applications and appeals are summarized as follows:

(i) Address: 34 Claxton Boulevard (Ward 28: York Eglinton)
Applicant: Anthony Gagliano
Appellant: Veronica Jacobs 36 Claxton Boulevard
Hearing Date: To be determined by the OMB
Application: A-16/99YK. The applicant proposes to demolish an existing dwelling and to construct a new two storey detached dwelling with below-grade parking. (See Appendix A and B attached)

Variances were requested to the minimum front yard setback, maximum floor space index, minimum side yard setback and minimum front yard green landscaped open space provisions of Zoning By-laws 1-83 and 3623-97.

The Committee of Adjustment on March 16, 1999, granted variances subject to conditions that require the applicant to obtain necessary permits for curb ramps, to obtain a building permit prior to starting any structural alterations to the building and to comply with the Ontario Building Code. The Committee also required that roof water be directed onto the property and away from abutting properties. The Planning Department had no objections to the application.

(ii) Address: 88 John Street (Ward 27: York Humber)
Applicant: Carol Ann and James D. Coon
Appellant: John Gribben 125 Rosemount Avenue
Hearing Date: To be determined by the OMB
Application: A-17/99YK. The applicant proposes to maintain and to legalize the side/rear open deck, which was constructed in 1975 without proper authorization. (See Appendix C and D attached)

Variances were requested to the minimum side yard setback provisions of Zoning By-laws 1-83 and 3623-97.

The Committee of Adjustment on March 16, 1999, granted the variances subject to conditions that require the portions of the deck that encroach into the required east side yard to be removed to satisfaction of the Building Division; and the applicant to obtain a building permit prior to constructing the side entrance platform, if required, and to comply with Ontario Building Code. The Planning Department had no objections to the application.

Conclusions:

The subject appeals were reviewed by staff who did not object to the applications. Legal and staff representation at the Ontario Municipal Board is therefore not warranted for these appeals.
