Zoning by-law amendment for in-water boathouse approved based on settlement between applicant and municipality.
The applicants appealed the Town of Innisfil's refusal of a zoning by-law amendment to permit an in-water boathouse on their property.
Prior to the hearing, the applicants and the Town reached a settlement on a modified proposal, which was opposed by neighbouring property owners.
The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the applicants' land use planning and coastal engineering experts, finding that the modified proposal conformed with the Town's Official Plan, the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, and provincial policies.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal in part, amending the zoning by-law in accordance with the settlement.
