Consent and minor variance appeals dismissed due to traffic safety concerns on an arterial road.
The appellants appealed the City of Peterborough's Committee of Adjustment decision denying their consent and minor variance applications to create a new residential lot on an arterial road.
The Tribunal heard expert planning and transportation evidence from the City indicating the proposed development would create traffic safety issues due to inadequate vehicle turnaround space and would not conform to the Official Plan or Growth Plan.
The appellants provided no expert evidence to refute the City's experts.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeals, finding the applications did not represent good land use planning and failed the four tests for a minor variance.
