Curb Cut - 67 Claver Avenue - North York Spadina

The North York Community Council recommends that the following report (December4,1998) from the Director, Transportation Services, District 3, be received; and the request by the property owner of 67 Claver Road for a 1.4 metre curb cut extension be approved:

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.
