Appeal allowed in part to implement settlement permitting oversized garage with increased setbacks on waterfront property.
The applicants appealed the Township's refusal to grant a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit the construction of an oversized detached garage on their waterfront property.
The parties reached a settlement that permitted the desired floor area but imposed increased side and front yard setbacks and required the garage to be located behind the principal dwelling.
Relying on the uncontested expert planning evidence of the Township's planner, the Tribunal found the settlement proposal consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and in conformity with the Official Plan, as the strategic location mitigated impacts on rural character and water quality.
The appeal was allowed in part to implement the settlement.
