Minor Variance Application SA119/99

3706 and 3708 St. Clair Avenue East
Lots 3 and 2, Registered Plan 1664
Cliffcrest Community - Scarborough Bluffs
The Committee of Adjustment on June 2, 1999, refused a Minor Variance in part to permit a 14-unit apartment building
having:
(1)one suite per 76 square metres (818 square feet) of lot area, for a total of 14 suites, whereas the Zoning By-law permits
one suite per 99 square metres (1065 square feet) of lot area, or 10 or 11 suites in this case;
(2)a minimum building setback of 18 metres (59 feet) from the centre line of St. Clair Avenue, whereas the Zoning
By-law requires a minimum building setback of 31 metres (101.7 feet) from the centre line of St. Clair Avenue (as detailed
in the attached decision).
The Minor Variance decision was appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board by the owner. A hearing date on this matter has
not been scheduled at this time by the Board. The appeal does not raise issues of significance to the Corporation to warrant
expenditure of the City's limited resources on the Board hearing.
Conclusion:
The City Solicitor should be directed not to attend any Ontario Municipal Board Hearing with respect to Minor Variance
Application SA119/99
