Zoning by-law amendment for waterfront cottage redevelopment approved with modified 15-metre setback.
The applicants appealed the Township's refusal of a zoning by-law amendment to permit the replacement of an existing cottage and bunkhouse with a larger dwelling on an undersized waterfront lot.
The proposed development required variances for lot coverage, gross floor area, width, and front yard setback.
The Tribunal found that the proposal, subject to an increased 15-metre front yard setback, constituted a net improvement over the existing development, conformed to the District and Township Official Plans, and represented good planning.
The appeal was allowed in part to approve the amendment with the modified setback.
