between the platform and the property line to allow appropriate access for maintenance,
, graciing �nd drainage, and to minimize any adverse impact on abutting proper�ies
6�he by-kavd permits uncovered steps or pfatforms not exceeding 1.0 metre in height
above grade to project a maximum of 1.0 metre into the required side yard
� the appficant is requesting a variance to permit an uncovered pkatform (deck) and
associated steps not exceeding 0.9 of a metre in height to project a maximum of
1.5 metres into the required west side yard
� the proposed platform and associated steps �n�ill be constructed on a similar footprint to
a previously existing platform and steps
� the previous platForm and steps existed for numerous years, but have been recentfy
demolished to facifitate the new platForm and steps
� the proposed platform and steps wil! provide a secondary access to the d�n�elling and wifi
be a sufficient s�ze to accommodate any future need for an accessible entrance
� the propased deck wil{ not obstruct the west side yard as steps will be provided on the
north and south side of the platform
� t�he propased platform will not result in a negative impact on the abutting property to the
west; as it is located adjacent to a municipal walkway (Balsdon Park)
Accessory Structure Setback Variance
� the intent of the zoning by-law for accessory buildings to provide a minimum setback from
lot fines is to ensure that adequate space is provided for maintenance, that the
eaves/overhangs do not encroach on adjacent properties, and that the visual impact on
adjacent properties is minimized
Report P/CA 45/17

� the by-lav�� requires accessor}� structures not exceeding � 0 square meires in size and not
exceeding 1.8 metres in height; to be setback a minimum of 0.6 metres from all lot iines
� ehe r�-iinimum east side yard setl�ack of �.3 of a metre to an accessor}� s'tructure is an
existing situation that has not nega�ivefy impacted ad}acent properties, as it has er.isted
for numerous yEars
� there have been no complaints regarding roof drainage or visual impact affecting
abutting proper�ies as a result of the existing structure
Lot Coverage Variance and Side Yard Setback \/ariance
e the intent of the maximum lot coverage provision is to maintain an appropriate amouni
of outdoor amenity area that is uncovered by buifdings or structures
� the intent of the minimum side yard setl�ack variance is to provide an appropriate
separation distance betv✓een structures on abutting proper�ies in order to maintain
pedestrian access; and to accommodate maintenance, grading, and drainage
� the by-law permits a maximum lot coverage of 33 percent and requires a minimum side
yard setback of 1.5 metres
• the variances are to recognize a maximum lot coverage of 36 percent and recognize a
minimum east side yard setl�ack of 1.0 metre to the existing unenclosed carpor�
• the carport has existed for over 30 years and has not negatively impacted the abuttino
property to the east
0 an adequate outdoor private amenity area is provided on the lot and the existing
1.0 metre east side yard setback provides an appropriate separation distance between
the unenc{osed carport and the east property fine to accommodate sufficient pedestrian
access, maintenance, grading and drainage
Staff are of the opinion that the requested variances are minor in nature, desirable ior the
appropriate development of the land and in keeping with the general intent of the Official Pian
