Minor Variance Reports 4.1 (Deferred at the May 15, 2025, Committee of Adjustment Hearing) MV 32/25 C. Antonakes 1848 Appleview Road The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 8149/24 to permit: • a maximum accessory structure height of 4.0 metres, whereas the By-law permits a maximum height of 3.5 metres; and • a maximum accessory structure lot coverage of 6.5 percent, whereas the By-law permits a maximum of 5 percent. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to obtain a building permit for the construction of a pavilion. Input from other sources were received from the Applicant, City’s Engineering Services, City’s Building Services Section and the Toronto and Region Conservation Area (TRCA). In support of the application, the applicant asserts that the requested minor variances are minor in nature and consistent with the newer developments on the street. Dean and Constantina Antonakes, applicants, and Sarah Molinaro, agent, were present to represent the application. One area resident was present in objection to the application. The applicant stated the following in support of the application: the goal is to build a multi generation home and outdoor space to entertain family and friends; it will not be used as a commercial structure; parking from guests will be contained to their driveway and/or legal street parking; they have modified drawings to reduce the footprint and height of the pavilion; and City of Pickering staff have recommended approval; the proposed will keep in character with the property next door; the pavilion will be covered by trees, reducing visual impacts and is sound neutral; is appropriate for the size of the lot; and that even with the pavilion there will be over 200 feet of greenspace in the rear yard. In response to a question from Committee members, the applicant stated that they did not appeal the last application that was heard earlier this year due to the long wait time with the Ontario Land Tribunal. 1844 Appleview Road has a similar structure that the City approved. -2- Committee of Adjustment Hearing Minutes Wednesday, June 11, 2025 7:00 pm Electronic Hearing Page 3 of 11 The agent commented that a pitched gable with the existing grade on the lot impacts the design. A Committee member questioned the purpose and extent of the changes to the requested variances referencing the principle of res judicata where a court’s decision is final and the court is not to rehear the same matter. The Committee member indicated that the topic of discussion is not the number of washrooms the applicant is proposing in the structure, but rather the intensity of use, congregate of settings, and traffic. In response to a question from a Committee member, the applicant reinforced the belief the comments received from neighbouring residents don’t impact the request of the application. Moved by Omar Ha-Redeye Seconded by Denise Rundle That application MV 32/25 by C. Antonakes, be Refused on the grounds that the requested variances are not minor in nature, not desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and not in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

The Secretary-Treasurer made note of a revision of the agenda on page 18, the fourth paragraph, should read “staff is of the opinion that that the requested variance maintains the general intent and purposes of the Zoning By-law”. The applicant stated the following in support of the application: letters of support from immediate neighbours have been received; a letter outlining the reasons to approve of the proposal has been submitted; the ADU is designed to be accessible and is for their aging parents; and a minor variance was required due to a change in the interpretation of the by-law. A Committee member commented that after a site visit, she noticed the deep front yard setbacks and stately homes and appreciates the neighbourhood feedback as it assists the Committee in making a decision. Moved by Denise Rundle Seconded by Sakshi Sood Joshi That application MV 33/25 by P.

Rambabu Bavanari, applicant, and Kruti Shah, agent, were present to represent the application. One resident from the immediate area was present in objection to the application. The agent stated that because they have three steps located within the side yard, a variance is required. An area resident asked the following questions: how will the construction and traffic impact the neighbourhood. In response to the area residents, the agent stated that the construction will not encroach on anyone’s land and there will be no cutting of concrete. In response to a question from a Committee member, the agent stated that a basement window may need to be expanded in the rear yard. The Secretary Treasurer read out comment letters from residents. In response to comment letters, the agent stated that this would be a single-family dwelling unit.

Henry 258 Hoover Drive Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 8149/24 to permit: • a minimum rear yard setback of 5.2 metres, whereas the By-law permits a minimum of 7.5 metres; and • a maximum lot coverage of 38.7 percent, whereas the By-law permits a maximum of 38 percent. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to obtain a building permit to construct a one-storey unheated sunroom addition to the existing dwelling. Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variances to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That these variances apply only to the sunroom addition, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2 & 3). Comment Conforms to the Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan As of January 1, 2025, following changes made by Bill 23, applicable parts of the Durham Regional Official Plan are now deemed to be part of Pickering’s Official Plan. Under the Regional Plan, the subject property is designated 'Urban System – Community Areas'. -12- Report MV 38/25 July 9, 2025 Page 2 The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area”, which is intended to accommodate residential uses, and accessory structures such as a sunroom. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. General Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “R1F” – Residential First Density under Zoning By-law 8149/24, which permits accessory structures. The applicant is requesting a minimum rear yard setback of 5.2 metres, whereas the Zoning By-law requires a minimum of 7.5 metres, and a maximum lot coverage of 38.7 percent, whereas the By-law permits a maximum of 38 percent. The intent of these provisions is to ensure adequate outdoor amenity space, maintain privacy for adjacent properties, and provide appropriate separation between buildings. Rear yards also contribute to the open character of residential areas and support landscaping, access, and stormwater management. Despite the proposed reduction, the remaining rear yard continues to offer sufficient space for amenity use and is not anticipated to negatively impact privacy, overlook, or shadowing on neighbouring properties. The minor increase in lot coverage is similarly not expected to create adverse effects related to drainage, stormwater, or the enjoyment of adjacent properties. Adequate outdoor space is preserved in both the front and rear yards, and the proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The proposed variances will facilitate the construction of a one-storey unheated sunroom addition that enhances the usability of the rear yard while maintaining a functional layout. The modest reduction in rear yard setback and slight increase in lot coverage are not anticipated to result in any significant adverse impacts on adjacent properties. The property continues to provide sufficient outdoor amenity space, appropriate separation from neighbouring dwellings, and a built form that is compatible with the character of the surrounding area. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are desirable for the appropriate development of the land and are minor in nature. -13- Report MV 38/25 July 9, 2025 Page 3 Input From Other Sources Applicant •Due to physical and technical constraints on the site, constructing the sunroom without the requested variances would result in unreasonable dimensions. The minor variance is therefore required to facilitate the construction of a functional sunroom addition. Engineering Services •No written comments were received as of the date of writing this report. Durham Region Community Growth and Economic Development •The Region has no comments. Building Services •No written comments were received as of the date of writing this report. Fire Department •No written comments were received as of the date of writing this report. Toronto and Region Conservation Authority •TRCA has no objections to the approval of the Minor Variance Application, as the proposed development is outside the regulated portions of the property and does not require a permit. Public Input •No written submissions have been received from the public as of the date of writing this report.

Furnell 5026 William Street Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 8149/24, to permit: • a maximum lot coverage of 16.0 percent, whereas the By-law requires a maximum lot coverage of 10.0 percent; and • a minimum (south) side yard setback of 2.1 metres and a minimum (north) side yard of 1.85 metres, whereas the By-law requires a minimum side yard setback of 3.0 metres on both sides. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to obtain a building permit to construct a two-storey addition to an existing detached dwelling. Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variances to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That these variances apply only to the proposed addition, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10). Comment Conforms to the Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan As of January 1, 2025, following changes made by Bill 23, applicable parts of the Durham Regional Official Plan are now deemed to be part of Pickering’s Official Plan. Under the Regional Official Plan, the subject property is designated “Rural System – Hamlets”. -18- Report MV 39/25 July 9, 2025 Page 2 The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property “Oak Ridges Moraine – Rural Hamlet” within the Claremont Settlement. Residential uses including detached residential dwelling are permitted within the Rural Hamlet designation. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan policies. Conforms to the Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law The subject site is zoned ORMA (Oak Ridges Moraine Agriculture), ORMEP (Oak Ridges Moraine Environmental Protection) and ORMR5 (Oak Ridges Moraine Residential). Section 4.22.6(1) of Zoning By-law 8149/24 states that when a single lot falls within multiple zoning designations, each portion must comply with the provisions of its respective zone as though it were a separate lot. If a use is allowed in all zones on the lot, the most restrictive zoning regulations will apply to the entire lot. It has been interpreted that the ORMA Zone is the most restrictive zone, accordingly, the ORMA Zone Regulations have been applied to the proposed development. It is noted that the existing detached residential dwelling and associated addition is proposed within and complies with the ORMR5 Zone provisions. Lot Coverage The intent of the maximum lot coverage provision is to maintain an appropriate amount of yard space for landscaping and amenity areas uncovered by buildings on a lot, and to accommodate grading and drainage. The applicant is proposing a total lot coverage of 16.0 percent for all buildings and structures on the lot, while the ORMA Zone provisions of By-law 8149/24 permit a maximum of 10.0 percent lot coverage and the provisions for ORMR5 allow for a maximum lot coverage of 20.0 percent. Previously, the lot maintained approximately 13.5 percent lot coverage, which included a barn in the rear yard of the property and a detached garage both of which have been demolished, and an existing detached dwelling. The proposed addition will have no impact on the existing amenity area on the lot. In addition, there is a large area to the west of the proposed addition, which contains the existing septic area, that has soft landscaping, including grass and trees. There is sufficient space on the property left uncovered for landscaping and outdoor amenity areas. The increased lot coverage does not prevent the site from maintaining appropriate yard setbacks that can accommodate soft landscaping, drainage, and private amenity space. Side Yard Setback The intent of permitting minimum side yards of 3.0 metres is to provide an appropriate buffer space between structures on abutting properties and to provide sufficient space for private septic and well servicing. The proposed north side yard of 1.85 metres and south side yard of 2.1 metres will provide sufficient separation between structures on adjacent lots and will allow sufficient space for accessing the front and rear yards. In addition, the proposed addition is proposed to be constructed in line with the existing detached garage in the south side yard and -19- Report MV 39/25 July 9, 2025 Page 3 complies with the ORMR5 zone provisions that require a minimum side yard setback of 1.8 metres. The reduced side yards will provide sufficient separation between neighbouring lots and will provide sufficient space for lot drainage. It is noted that prior to the issuance of a building permit the Durham Health Department clearance will be required indicating that the proposed development can be adequately serviced by septic and well. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature Staff consider the size of the existing dwelling and proposed addition to be appropriate relative to the size of the lot. The proposed addition will replace the existing detached garage and provide additional living space for the existing residential use. The proposed development is in compliance with the provisions of the ORMR5 Zone. However, due to the various zones applicable to the lot, Section 4.22.6(1) of the Zoning By-law, requires the most restrictive zone to apply to the property, which applies ORMA – Agricultural zone requirements to the residential lot. This is desirable and appropriate development as it will contribute to the mix of housing within the Hamlet of Claremont. Staff are of the opinion that the requested increase in lot coverage and reduction of side yard setbacks will not result in a great loss of yard space and will provide sufficient space for lot servicing on this lot. Input From Other Sources Applicant • Provide additional living space for extended family. Current lot coverage is about 13.5 percent. Engineering Services • Ensure the increased lot coverage and reduced side yard setback (if approved with this application) does not adversely affect the drainage patterns within the lot and surrounding area. Building Services • No comments or concerns from Building Services. Construction is not permitted to take place until a Building Permit has been applied for and issued. Durham Region Planning and Economic Development • No comments. Fire Services • No comments. Public Input • No written submissions have been received from the public as of the date of writing this report. -20- Report MV 39/25 July 9, 2025 Page 4 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority •The Property Owner previously contacted the TRCA about their proposal to construct a 2-storey addition with new accessory structures. Based on a preliminary review of the information available, TRCA provided a permit clearance for the works on January 16, 2024. There have been no changes to TRCA’s regulated area mapping for this property since we provided this permit clearance. Although the proposed works have changed slightly, the limit of development is no closer to the regulated features than the previously cleared plans and the works remain outside the TRCA regulated portion of the site. As such, TRCA has no objection or comments for this proposal and a TRCA permit is not required. We would request that appropriate erosion and sediment controls be installed to isolate construction from the TRCA regulated area at the rear of the site.

Date: July 2, 2025 -31- Report to Committee of Adjustment Application Number: MV 40/25 Date: July 9, 2025 From: Deborah Wylie Manager, Zoning & Administration Subject: Minor Variance Application MV 40/25 M. Boutet 1492 Rougemount Drive Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 8149/24, to permit a maximum accessory structure (garage) height of 5.1 metres, whereas the By-law requires a maximum height of 4.5 metres. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to construct a detached two-storey garage. Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the application for minor variance and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variance to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That this variance applies only to the two-storey detached garage located within the rear yard, as outlined and sited on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3, 4 & 5). Comment General Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan As of January 1, 2025, following changes made by Bill 23, applicable parts of the Durham Regional Official Plan are deemed to be part of Pickering’s Official Plan. Under the Regional Plan, the subject property is designated 'Urban System – Community Areas'. The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area” within the Rougemount neighborhood. This designation is intended to accommodate residential uses, and accessory structures such as a detached garage. -32- Report MV 40/25 July 9, 2025 Page 2 Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. General Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “X207” (R3) – Residential Third Density under Zoning By-law 8149/24, which permits accessory structures. The applicant is requesting a maximum accessory structure height of 5.1 metres for a detached private garage, whereas the Zoning By-law permits a maximum height of 4.5 metres for such structures. The intent of this provision is to regulate the scale and massing of accessory buildings to minimize potential impacts such as shadowing on adjacent properties. The proposed increase in height is intended to accommodate a second floor for hobby use and to allow sufficient interior clearance for the installation of a car lift. The proposed garage is appropriately located at the rear of the property, away from the primary dwelling and street frontage, minimizing visual impact. The structure is designed with a pitched roof that reflects typical residential accessory buildings. Given the configuration of the subject property, its relationship to surrounding residential lots, and the presence of an elementary school to the west, the proposed garage height is not anticipated to result in negative impacts related to shadowing or overlook. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The proposed variance will facilitate the construction of a detached garage with additional height to accommodate a second-floor hobby space and a car lift, enhancing the functionality and use of the property. The design remains compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood and is not expected to result in adverse impacts. The structure maintains appropriate separation from adjacent properties, preserves open space on the lot, and the overall scale is considered suitable given the lot configuration and surrounding context. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the land and is minor in nature. Input From Other Sources Applicant • The height increase is proposed to accommodate the installation of a car lift and to provide additional ceiling height for a larger hobby studio. Building Services • A building permit application has been applied for; waiting for the Committee’s decision. Construction is not permitted to proceed unless a Building Permit has been issued. -33- Report MV 40/25 July 9, 2025 Page 3 Durham Region Community Growth & Economic Development •No comments.

Date: June 26, 2025 -39- Report to Committee of Adjustment Application Number: MV 41/25 Date: July 9, 2025 From: Deborah Wylie Manager, Zoning & Administration Subject: Minor Variance Application MV 41/25 S. Vaz 1315 Broadview Street Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 8149/24, to permit: • a total of three parking spaces, whereas the By-law requires a total of four parking spaces; and • a maximum driveway width of 9.25 metres, whereas the By-law requires a maximum driveway width of 6.0 metres. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to obtain a building permit to construct an Additional Dwelling Unit. Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variances to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That these variances apply only to the proposed addition, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6). Background Currently, the existing detached residential dwelling contains two dwelling units. The applicant is proposing a third dwelling unit within the existing detached dwelling. -40- Report MV 41/25 July 9, 2025 Page 2 Comment Conforms to the Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan As of January 1, 2025, following changes made by Bill 23, applicable parts of the Durham Regional Official Plan are now deemed to be part of Pickering’s Official Plan. Under the Regional Official Plan, the subject property is designated “Urban System – Community Areas”. The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property “Urban Residential – Low Density” within the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood. Official Plan Policy 6.4(e) encourages additional dwelling units in all residential areas, where appropriate. Furthermore, Official Plan Policy 6.7(b) permits two additional dwelling units in a single detached dwelling. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan policies. Conforms to the Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law The subject site is zoned R1E – Detached Residential under Zoning By-law 8149/24. The subject property is located within the Bay Ridges Established Neighbourhood Precinct. Reduction in Parking Space Variance The purpose of requiring a total of four parking spaces is to ensure sufficient parking is provided for dwelling units located on a lot, and to ensure on-street parking is avoided. The applicant requests a variance to provide a total of three parking spaces, whereas Zoning By-law requires a total of four spaces comprised of two spaces for detached dwelling, one parking space for the existing ADU within the detached dwelling, and one additional space for the second ADU proposed within the detached dwelling. Therefore, a total of four parking spaces are required on the lot. Presently, there are three parking spaces on the property (one in the side yard and two within the front yard). The subject property is situated 350 metres from the nearest bus stop on Durham Region Transit Route 101, which provides connections to the Pickering GO Station for additional regional transit options and access to services across the region. Furthermore, in April 2024, the Council amended the Traffic & Parking By-law 6604/05 to allow parking of vehicles on residential driveway aprons/boulevard being the portion of the driveway that is in public ownership adjacent to the road. Apron parking allows for operative vehicles to be parked at the end of driveways, parallel or perpendicular to the road as long as they are not on the grass or overhanging the road or sidewalk. Apron parking does not constitute cannot be considered a parking spot for compliance with zoning. The applicant has demonstrated that the required fourth parking space could fit within a portion of the front of the property and the driveway apron, without encroaching into the road. Staff is of the opinion that the reduction in parking spaces on the lot maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. -41- Report MV 41/25 July 9, 2025 Page 3 Maximum Driveway Width The intent of requiring a maximum driveway width is to ensure sufficient space is maintained in the front yard for landscaping, to accommodate grading and drainage, and to maintain the character of the street. The widest portion of the driveway is measured at 9.25 metres at the front lot line. Overall, the applicant has proposed a total area of 65 square metres of soft landscaping within the front yard (53 percent of the front yard area), which will allow sufficient space for landscaping and appropriate drainage. Furthermore, additional driveway space is required to accommodate a 1.2-metre-wide path of travel to access the front entrance of the existing dwelling unit. Therefore, the driveway is proposed to be widened to allow for three parking spaces and unobstructed access to the front entrance. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance to increase the driveway width is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The approval of the requested variances will permit a second ADU within the existing detached residential dwelling on the lot. Based on the provincial direction, the proposal meets the requirements of the Planning Act. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed variances are desirable for appropriate development of the land and are minor in nature. Input From Other Sources Applicant • The R1E zone allows for 2 ADUs in addition to the principal unit but requires a driveway widening to accommodate the required parking spaces. Currently, two dwelling units exist with a third dwelling unit proposed. Engineering Services • Ensure the increased driveway width does not adversely affect the drainage patterns within the lot and surrounding area. • The existing driveway and the proposed widening are to be constructed using permeable pavers in order to address the increased imperviousness of the lot. This is to be addressed through the building permit Building Services • Apply for and obtain a building permit for a third dwelling unit in a residential building (which will be no longer considered a house). Construction is not permitted to take place until a Building Permit has been issued. Fire Services • No comments. -42- Report MV 41/25 July 9, 2025 Page 4 Durham Region Planning and Economic Development •The Region has no comments. Public Input •Multiple area residents have submitted written comments in opposition of the minor variance application. The comments highlight that the proposal does not fit into the neighbourhood, will create more traffic in the area, will increase the frustration of residents in a popular parking area, bring down the value of the street, will create too many people residing in the property (e.g. Airbnb), reduces neighbours’ privacy, changes the aesthetic and architectural consistency of the neighbourhood, increases noise levels and tension between tenants, and increase property real estate speculation.

Adham 198 Twyn Rivers Drive Application The applicant proposes to sever a 731.7 square metre residential parcel of land, retaining a 732.51 square metre residential parcel of land. An existing dwelling and detached garage are to be demolished. The applicant intends to construct a new detached dwelling on each of the severed and retained parcels. Recommendation Staff have reviewed Consent Application LD 045/2023, with respect to Section 51(24) of the Planning Act criteria and request Tabling of the application, to allow the applicant to address the comments identified in the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) memo dated June 19, 2025, to the satisfaction of TRCA (refer to Attachment #1). Background Land Division Application LD 045/2023 was tabled at the July 10, 2023, Regional Land Division Hearing and is required to be lifted from the table within two years of the initial tabling. At the Committee hearing, the applicant requested that LD 045/2023 be tabled for up to two years to address TRCA comments and concerns. The City Development Department received a letter from TRCA, dated June 19, 2025, indicating that TRCA recommends deferral of the Consent Application to allow the applicant to submit a Concept Development Application with the TRCA to review floodplain implications of the proposal, and to address site conditions and potential fragmentation of Natural Hazards on site. Properties within 60 metres of the subject lands have inadvertently not been notified by mail as the notice for this application was sent to the incorrect radius of addresses. New notice is not required at this time as there is no change to this application and the request before the Committee is to table the application to allow the applicant to address the TRCA’s comments. New notice will be required once TRCA’s comments have been addressed by the applicant and there is a request to lift the application from the table for the Committee’s consideration for approval. -50- Report LD 045/2023 July 9, 2025 Page 2 Date of report: July 3, 2025 Comments prepared by: Kerry Yelk Deborah Wylie, MCIP, RPP Planner II Manager, Zoning & Administration KY:nr /CityDevDept/D3500/2023/LD045-2023/0.July 9, 2025/8.
