Consent and minor variances for residential lot severance granted; proposal represents appropriate and compatible intensification.
The applicant appealed the City of Hamilton Committee of Adjustment's refusal of consent and minor variance applications to sever a residential property to create two lots for single-detached dwellings.
The proposal required variances for reduced lot width, reduced maneuvering space, and front yard parking.
The Tribunal allowed the appeals, preferring the applicant's planning evidence that the proposal represented appropriate residential intensification compatible with the neighbourhood character.
The Tribunal found the City planner's evidence unpersuasive and noted concerns regarding his impartiality.
The consent was granted subject to conditions, and the variances were authorized.
