Minor variances for a sleeping cabin on a shoreline lot authorized as meeting the four tests.
The applicant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's refusal of minor variances to permit the construction of a sleeping cabin on a shoreline residential lot on Six Mile Lake.
The requested variances involved increased lot coverage and reduced interior side yard and building separation setbacks.
The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the applicant's planner, finding that the variances met the four tests under s. 45(1) of the Planning Act.
The Tribunal concluded that the sleeping cabin was compatible with existing residential uses, would not have significant visual or privacy impacts, and represented good planning.
The appeal was allowed and the variances were authorized subject to conditions.
