Appeal of minor variances for a new detached dwelling dismissed as the statutory test was met.
The applicant sought minor variances to permit the construction of a two-storey detached dwelling, which were approved by the Committee of Adjustment.
The adjacent neighbour appealed the decision, arguing the proposed massing would negatively impact the streetscape, natural light, and privacy.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, accepting uncontroverted expert planning evidence that the variances maintain the general intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, are desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and are minor in nature due to architectural mitigation measures.
