Appeal dismissed and minor variances authorized for cottage reconstruction on an undersized waterfront lot.
The appellant appealed a Committee of Adjustment decision granting minor variances to permit the reconstruction and enlargement of a dwelling and sundeck on an undersized waterfront lot.
The appellant failed to attend the hearing and his adjournment request was denied.
Relying on the uncontested expert planning evidence of the Township's planner, the Tribunal found that the variances met the four tests under section 45(1) of the Planning Act, were consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and represented good planning.
The appeal was dismissed and the variances were authorized subject to conditions.
