4. P /CA 67/92 - C. Barrand
Lot 20, Plan 40M-1482
Also known as 5046 William Street, Claremont
Town of Pickering
The applicant requests relief from the provisions of Zoning By-law 3037, as amended by
Section 5.18(e) of By-law 2325/86, to permit the continuance of a maximum height of
4.6 metres for the accessory structure on the subject property whereas the By-law limits
the height of accessory structures in any residential zone to a maximum of 3.5 metres.
..... Approval of this variance application is required in order to bring the subject property
into compliance with the provisions of the By-law.
Mr. Barrand and Ms. E. Vousden were present to represent the application. No further
representation was present in favour of or in objection to the application.
The Acting Secretary Treasurer outlined comments received from the Planning
Department and Durham Regional Health Services. A letter in objection to the
application was received from Egon Weidenborner, 5044 William Street, Claremont.
Mr. Barrand stated that he had tried to blend the shed in with the farm across the road
and that it would be finished in board and batten, identical to his house, in an effort to
maintain the century appearance of the area.
Mr. Puterbough asked about the possibility of relocating or decreasing the height of the
shed in view of the objection stated by the neighbour to the south. Mr. Barrand replied
that it was not possible to move the shed further back on his property, due to the location
of the septic bed and the conservation area at the back of his property, but it would be
possible to lower the height of the shed.
DECISION: Moved by Mrs. C. Scorer, seconded by Mr. M. Puterbough and carried
unanimously that -
this application, P /CA 67/92 by C. Barrand, as outlined, be REFUSED on the grounds
that the requested variance is major in nature, undesirable for the appropriate
development of the lands in that the accessory structure is not architecturally
~ co-ordinated to the house and the height is not necessary as there is ample opportunity to
conform to the By-law, also the shed is very visible and detrimental to the landscape, and
not in keeping with the general intent and purpose of Section 5.18(e) of By-law 3037.
5. ADJOURNMENT
MOTION: Moved by Mr. M. Puterbough, seconded by Mrs. C. Scorer and carried
unanimously that -
the 13th meeting of the Committee of Adjustment be adjourned at 7:25 p.m. and the next
regular meeting be held on Wednesday, November 4,1992.
