2912/88 to permit a proposed attached private garage to extend a maximum of
9.6 metres beyond the front wall of an existing dwelling, whereas the by-law does
not permit any attached private garage to extend more than 2.0 metres beyond
the front wall of the dwelling.

permit.
The Secretary-Treasurer outlined comments received from the City of Pickering
Planning & Development Department recommending approval subject to
conditions. Written comments were also received from Gino Hamparian of
1432 Rougemount Drive in objection to the application.
Correspondence received from Gino Hamparian expressed several concerns
with the size and orientation of the proposed garage, the location of the garage
will block two large windows of a home office, it is not in keeping with the
previously established architecture of the street and will have a negative impact
on his property.
Robert Armstrong, owner, was present to represent the application. Eric Hudson
of 1404 Rougemount Drive and Ricardo Agraso of 130 Woodview Drive were
present in favour of the application. Gino Hamparian of 1432 Rougemount Drive
was present in objection to the application.
Robert Armstrong explained the application, understands the neighbours
concerns and noted he is trying to be respectful to the surrounding neighbours
and neighbourhood. In response to questions from a Committee Member,
Robert Armstrong indicated the driveway will be reconfigured to the garage and
mature trees will not be removed with the expectation of an apple tree.
