The Ontario Land Tribunal held a first Case Management Conference regarding an expropriation by the Ministry of Transportation.

The parties had not yet engaged in settlement discussions pending the exchange of appraisal reports.

The Tribunal scheduled a five-day video hearing for September 2025 and issued a Procedural Order to govern the proceedings.

The appellant appealed the City of Brampton Committee of Adjustment's decision to deny a minor variance to permit a driveway width of 5.3 m, whereas the maximum permitted width is 4.9 m.

The appellant sought the variance to accommodate parking for an additional residential unit.

The Tribunal accepted the uncontested planning evidence of the City's planner that the variance failed to maintain the general intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, was not desirable, and was not minor due to adverse impacts on the streetscape and emergency access.

The appeal was dismissed.

The Ontario Land Tribunal issued an amending decision to correct a technical or typographical error in its previous decisions dated December 20, 2023, and January 18, 2024.
