Minor variance for increased lot coverage authorized; proposed dwelling meets the four tests.
The applicants appealed the refusal of a minor variance by the Municipality of Leamington's Committee of Adjustment.
The variance sought to increase the maximum permitted lot coverage from 35% to 39.05% to facilitate the construction of a new single detached dwelling and accessory building on an irregular pie-shaped lot.
The Ontario Land Tribunal found that the variance met the four tests under the Planning Act, noting that the design promoted safe and orderly development without adversely impacting neighbouring properties.
The appeal was allowed and the variance authorized.
