Minor variances for garden suite and dwelling extension authorized as meeting the four tests.
The appellant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's refusal of minor variances required to facilitate the conversion of an existing detached garage into a garden suite and an extension to the existing dwelling for a second unit.
The appellant withdrew a variance for a second driveway.
The Tribunal, relying on the expert planning evidence of a City planner acting as a friend of the Tribunal, found that the remaining variances for side yard setback, rear yard setback, and lot coverage met the four tests under the Planning Act.
The appeal was allowed and the variances were authorized subject to conditions.
