Appeal dismissed; minor variances for lot coverage and setbacks authorized for new detached dwelling.
The appellant residents association appealed a Committee of Adjustment decision granting minor variances to permit the construction of a new two-storey single detached house.
The requested variances related to maximum lot coverage and minimum side and rear yard setbacks.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontradicted expert planning evidence that the proposed development was compatible with the evolving character of the neighbourhood, where similar variances had been approved.
The Tribunal found the variances met the four tests under section 45(1) of the Planning Act and dismissed the appeal, authorizing the variances.
