Appeal dismissed; minor variances for residential addition and accessory structures authorized as meeting statutory tests.
The appellant appealed a Committee of Adjustment decision granting minor variances to permit an addition to an existing dwelling and recognize accessory structures.
The requested variances included reductions to interior side yard and front yard setbacks, and an increase in total floor area for accessory structures.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal and authorized the variances, adopting the expert planning evidence that the proposal met the four tests under section 45(1) of the Planning Act, maintained the intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and represented good land use planning.
