Minor variance appeal dismissed; proposed gross floor area increase not minor and threatened stormwater infrastructure.
The applicant appealed the Town of Aurora Committee of Adjustment's denial of minor variances required to construct a two-storey single detached dwelling.
The requested variances sought to increase the maximum permitted footprint and gross floor area.
The Tribunal found that the requested increase to the gross floor area was not minor in nature and that the proposed development posed unacceptable risks to a critical municipal stormwater sewer pipeline.
The appeal was dismissed and the variances were not authorized.
