Appeal allowed and minor variances for rear yard deck and stairs authorized.
The appellant appealed the City of Vaughan Committee of Adjustment's refusal of minor variances for a rear yard deck and access stairs.
The requested variances involved reductions to the minimum interior side yard and rear yard setbacks.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontested expert planning evidence that the variances met the four tests under s. 45(1) of the Planning Act, maintaining the general intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, being desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and being minor in nature.
The appeal was allowed and the variances were authorized.
