Comments:

The subject property, being irregular in shape, is developed with a two storey dwelling and abuts the Rosedale Golf Club lands. The existing deck and balcony, to the rear of the dwelling, encroach onto the Rosedale Golf Club lands. It would appear that the deck was constructed some time prior to 1984, however, staff were unable to locate any City records with respect to the construction of the deck. In order to resolve the encroachment and associated side yard setback to the deck the applicant has negotiated with the Rosedale Golf Club to acquire a 127m5 parcel of land abutting their property upon which the deck is constructed. The release of part lot control would allow for the sale of this parcel.

In accordance with City requirements the applicant has filed a letter of undertaking, to the satisfaction of the Legal Department, that they will advise the City when the additional lands are registered on title to 340 Riverview Drive in order that the part lot exemption by-law may be repealed.

Conclusions:

By granting exemption from part lot control, in order to permit the proposed lot addition, an existing encroachment and the associated non-complying side yard setbacks to the deck would be resolved.
