Appeal of minor variance for garage height dismissed; uncontroverted planning evidence established four tests were met.
The appellant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's approval of a minor variance to increase the maximum height of an accessory building (a detached garage) from 5 metres to 6.5 metres.
The appellant presented no planning evidence, arguing primarily that he had previously been denied a similar variance.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontroverted expert planning evidence that the variance met the four tests under the Planning Act, was consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and would have no adverse impacts due to vegetative screening.
The appeal was dismissed and the variance was authorized subject to conditions.
