J. Nanson

The applicant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's refusal of applications for consent to sever a residential property into three lots and for associated minor variances for reduced lot widths and side yard setbacks.

The Ontario Land Tribunal allowed the appeals, finding that the proposed infill development optimized a large corner lot, respected the neighbourhood character, and met the criteria under the Planning Act.

The provisional consent and minor variances were approved subject to conditions, including municipal servicing and tree preservation requirements.

The Ontario Land Tribunal held a Case Management Conference regarding appeals from the City of Windsor Committee of Adjustment's refusal of consent and minor variance applications to create three new lots.

Several neighbouring residents requested and were granted party status.

The appellant proposed changes to the requested variances during the hearing.

The Tribunal determined that new notice was required for the amended variances.

After notice was circulated and no objections to the changes were raised at a subsequent hearing, the Tribunal scheduled a two-day hearing on the merits.
