The applicant sought variances to legalize and maintain a new dwelling with a detached rear garage currently under construction.
The Committee of Adjustment had previously refused the variances, which were required after construction deviated from a previously approved addition, resulting in a 'new house by renovation' classification.
The Toronto Local Appeal Body dismissed the appeal, finding that while the proposal met the general intent of the Official Plan, the requested front and side yard setbacks did not maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law.
Specifically, the tribunal noted unresolved encroachments into the City's right-of-way and undue adverse privacy impacts on the abutting neighbour from the proposed rear deck.
