Variance from Swimming Pool Enclosure Requirement -

16 Wellesbourne Crescent - Seneca Heights

The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (March5, 1999) from the District Manager, North, Municipal Licensing and Standards and Court Services, Urban Planning and Development Services:

Purpose:

To address request for variance (January 7, 1998) in connection with the location of a swimming pool enclosure.

Source of Funds:

Not applicable

Recommendation:

This report be received and adopted, subject to compliance with all other provisions of By-Law No. 30901, as amended.

Council Reference:

To date, the swimming pool enclosure has not been moved. However, we do have a commitment on the part of the owner to proceed with the relocation of the fence, to eliminate an encroachment problem, to the location which would require a variance, and rectify some minor deficiencies in the Spring.

The relocation of the fence onto the rear property line will result in the fence being 3.30 feet (1.005m) from the edge of the water in the pool , whereas the by-law requires 4 feet (1.2m).

Accordingly, if this variance is granted, this Division will re-inspect the premises in the Spring to ensure compliance.
