Appeal allowed in part to implement settlement permitting an oversized accessory structure in the front yard.
The appellant appealed the Township's refusal of a zoning by-law amendment application to permit an oversized detached accessory structure in the front yard of a property located in the Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside Area.
The parties reached a settlement to permit a 140 square metre accessory structure in the front yard with a minimum setback of 102 metres, subject to a site plan agreement to address ecological impacts on a significant woodland.
Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the settlement consistent with provincial policies and local official plans, and allowed the appeal in part to amend the zoning by-law.
