Minor variances authorized to permit a cargo container on a large residential lot subject to screening.
The appellant sought minor variances to permit a 117.0 square metre cargo container for storage on a residential property.
The municipality did not oppose the appeal after the appellant agreed to relocate the container to screen it from view.
The Tribunal accepted expert planning evidence that the variances met the four-part test under section 45(1) of the Planning Act, noting the large lot size and the proposed screening mitigated any adverse impacts.
The appeal was allowed and the variances were authorized subject to a setback condition.
