Minor variance appeal allowed for construction of a two-storey detached dwelling, subject to conditions.
The applicant appealed the Town of Oakville Committee of Adjustment's refusal of a minor variance application to permit the construction of a two-storey detached dwelling.
The requested variances related to the number of garages, garage projection, dwelling depth, main wall length, and dwelling height.
The Ontario Land Tribunal allowed the appeal, finding that the proposed development met the four tests under section 45(1) of the Planning Act.
The Tribunal concluded that the variances maintained the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, were minor in nature, and were desirable for the appropriate development of the land, subject to conditions.
Tribunal scheduled a 19-day hearing and directed parties to reorganize the issues list by issue.
The appellant appealed the municipality's failure to make a decision on applications for an official plan amendment, zoning by-law amendment, and plan of subdivision to permit the redevelopment of parts of a golf course.
At the second case management conference, the Tribunal directed the parties to revise the draft issues list to be organized by issue rather than by party to avoid overlap.
The Tribunal also scheduled a 19-day hearing and provided directions regarding the calling of lay witnesses and the participation of added parties.
