Minor variance and consents granted to sever corner lot and preserve high-priority trees.
The applicant sought minor variances and consents to sever a corner lot to facilitate the construction of two new detached dwellings.
The Committee of Adjustment granted the consents subject to conditions and authorized the minor variance subject to a site plan condition.
A neighbour appealed both decisions, arguing the variance was major, while the applicant appealed the site plan condition.
The Tribunal allowed the applicant's appeal and dismissed the neighbour's appeals, finding that the variances met the four-part test under the Planning Act and would preserve high-priority trees, and that the consents satisfied the criteria under section 51(24).
