3. Minor Variance Application: MV-2016-01 A-B - Horner
165 Kennedy Street West
The Applicant has submitted an Application to allow an increase in maximum
driveway width and increase in maximum height for an accessory structure.
Section 6.28.1.i (c) of the Zoning By-law requires maximum driveway width of
10.0 metres if lot frontage is 18.0 metres or greater. The Applicant is
proposing to widen driveway to 15.2 metres; thus requiring a Variance of 5.3
metres. Section 6.2.3 of the Zoning By-law requires a maximum height of 3.5
metres for an accessory structure. The Applicant is proposing to construct a
detached garage with height of 5.7 metres; thus requiring a Variance of 2.3
metres.
The Vice -Chair read through the purpose of the Application. In attendance was
the agent Bill Oughtred.
Mr. Oughtred stated the Variance addressed the width in the front of the garage.
The second Variance addresses the additional garage to be constructed which is
designed with a pitch roof so as to complement the main building.
The Chair asked if any members of the public wanted to speak in relation to this
Application.
Tino Patrosi of 10 Highland Court asked if this Variance was to widen driveway to
Kennedy Street and if driveway could be built across former Highland Gate Golf
Course property to the south of this subject property.
Mr. Oughtred responded that there would be no driveway over golf course land.
The Committee asked if permissible to place a freestanding structure in front of
main building.
Staff responded that Building & By-law Services staff had not indicated this as an
issue. Building staff indicate that an accessory structure may be placed in front of
the main building if it does not act to reduce the allowable front yard setback.
