Tribunal grants consent and minor variances to sever property for semi-detached dwellings.
The applicant appealed the City of Ottawa Committee of Adjustment's refusal of consent and minor variance applications to sever a property into two parcels, each containing one half of a newly rebuilt semi-detached dwelling.
The Tribunal found that the severance met the criteria under section 51(24) of the Planning Act and that the minor variances for reduced lot area met the four-part test under section 45(1).
The Tribunal also granted permissions to expand the legal non-conforming building envelope under section 45(2), finding the changes desirable and without undue adverse impact.
The appeal was allowed in part, granting provisional consent and authorizing the variances subject to conditions.
