IV PRESENTATION OF APPLICATIONS
1. Minor Variance Application: MV-2016-04 — Jaffer-Bhagwandin
36 Larmont Street
The Applicant has submitted an Application to allow a 3 unit converted dwelling with
less than the required front yard building setback. Section 14.4.2 of the Zoning By-
iaw allows a converted dwelling where such dwelling is in compliance with the
minimum yard Zoning By-law requirements of an R5 Zone. The Applicant is
proposing an addition to allow a three unit converted dwelling. The existing
detached dwelling has a front yard setback of 3.8 metres whereas Zoning By-law
requires minimum front yard setback of 6.0 metres; thus requiring Variance of 2.2
metres.
Staff informed the Committee that Building & By-law Services staff had
subsequently discovered that the previous owner of this property had applied and
obtained a Minor Variance in 1994 identical to this Minor Variance request. As
such, this Variance is not necessary and is withdrawn. The Applicant and
neighbours within 120 metre radius of the subject property were notified of this.
2. Minor Variance Application: MV-2016-05A-B — Royalcliff Homes Bayview Inc.
105 Joseph Hartman Cres.
The Applicant has submitted an Application to allow the reduction of the rear yard
setback and increase in projection for a chimney. Section 11.99.2.2 of the Zoning
By-law requires minimum rear yard setback of 7.0 metres. The Applicant is
proposing to construct a detached dwelling unit which is 6.6 metres to rear
property line; thus requiring Variance of 0.4 metres. Section 11,99.2.3.4 of the
Zoning By-law allows a chimney to project 0.6 metres into required rear yard.
The Applicant is also proposing to construct a chimney that projects 0.9 metres
to the rear property line; thus requiring Variance of 0.3 metres.
The Chair read through the purpose of the Application. In attendance was the
agent Grace Carere of Royalcliff Homes. Ms. Carere stated that the Variance
was required due to the `skewed' configuration of the lot.
