Appeal of minor variance dismissed; amended flood hazard setback of 27 metres authorized on consent.
The appellant appealed a Committee of Adjustment decision granting a minor variance for a reduced flood hazard setback of 24 metres on a shoreline property.
Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement to increase the setback to 27 metres.
The Tribunal allowed the application to be amended without further notice under s. 45(18.1.1) of the Planning Act.
Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found that the amended variance met the four tests under s. 45(1) of the Planning Act.
The appeal was dismissed and the amended variance was authorized.
Vehicle impoundment upheld; appellant knew driver's licence was suspended and failed to prove exceptional hardship.
The appellant appealed the 45-day impoundment of her vehicle, which occurred after she allowed her boyfriend to drive it despite knowing his licence was suspended.
She argued she felt ill and asked him to drive, claiming due diligence and exceptional hardship.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding she did not exercise due diligence because she knew of the suspension.
The Tribunal also found no exceptional hardship, as she had reasonable alternatives to the vehicle for her college visits and job search, and the impoundment did not pose a threat to health or safety.
