Minor variances for two-storey detached dwelling authorized as compatible with neighbourhood character.
The appellant appealed the Town of Oakville Committee of Adjustment's refusal of a minor variance application to facilitate the construction of a two-storey detached dwelling.
The requested variances related to garage floor area, garage projection, dwelling depth, front yard setback, and main wall proportionality.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal and authorized the variances, finding that they satisfied the four tests under section 45(1) of the Planning Act.
The Tribunal accepted the expert planning evidence that the proposed development was compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood and would not create unacceptable adverse impacts.
