The Secretary -Treasurer outlined the staff recommendation from the City Development Department recommending refusal. Written comments were received from the City's Engineering Services Department expressing no comments on the variances, however stated that any proposed garage is above finished grade as the City does not support garages below grade with a reverse driveway due to liabilities associated with flooding during major storm events. Written comments were received from Councillor Ashe, Regional Councillor, Ward 1 supporting staff's refusal recommendation. Written comments were received from residents of 548 Rodd Avenue, 554 Rodd Avenue, and 537 Rodd Avenue opposed to the application. A petition was received signed by 16 area residents opposed to the minor variance application. Written comments were also received from residents of 425 Rougemount Drive and 1877 Pine Grove Avenue in support of the application. Page 4 of 10 GGa oii DICKERING Committee of Adjustment Meeting Minutes Wednesday, March 28, 2018 7:00 pm Main Committee Room Correspondence received from residents of 548 Rodd Avenue expressed several concerns such as the existing lot is large enough to accommodate a large home without pushing the limits of the by-law; a building built within the requirements of the zoning will be more in keeping with the neighbourhood and more considerate to the neighbours and other sufficiently large houses have been built within the requirements of the by-law in the neighbourhood, including 548 Rodd Avenue. Mahammad Khan, applicant, was present to represent the application. Councillor Brenner, City Councillor, Ward 1, Chris Pennington of 550 Rodd Avenue, Robert Violo of 554 Rodd Avenue, Delores Steinwall of 556 Rodd Avenue and Maria Siragusa of 537 Rodd Avenue were present in objection to the application. Mahammad Khan explained that he would like to build a roof top patio that will have three foot glass railings, he stated he has not received an answer from the City if the roof top patio is part of the 9.0 metre height restriction. Mahammad Khan stated there are two other homes in the surrounding neighbourhood that have the same style and character to what he is proposing. Mahammad Khan explained if the dwelling was designed with a pitched roof, it is measured at the midpoint and the building would have a height of 10.3 metres. Councillor Brenner stated he is speaking on behalf of himself and Regional Councillor Ashe and they support the staff recommendation. Councillor Brenner explained the history of the 1997 zoning by-law and the background of the character in the neighbourhood. He stated that Council has adopted a resolution to address community character concerns to set certain restrictions for infill developments in mature neighbourhoods. He also stated that Council has recently adopted a new by-law to restrict a maximum height of 9.0 metres within R3 and R4 zones. Maria Siragusa spoke in objection to the application and the written comments that were received prior to the meeting. Maria Siragusa expressed several concerns such as the use of the roof top; questioned if the railing is included or not included in the 10.0 metre height request; loss of natural light on either side of the building as well as exposure to the danger of falling objects from the roof top; and given the size of the building it may turn into rental units. Delores Steinwall stated she has not had a chance to review the minor variance application in detail however, is strongly opposed to the application. Chris Pennington stated he lives next to the subject property and expressed several concerns with the size and height of the building, the casting of shadows onto his property, and the close proximity to the property line. Page 5 of 10 GGa oii DICKERING Committee of Adjustment Meeting Minutes Wednesday, March 28, 2018 7:00 pm Main Committee Room Robert Violo spoke in objection to the application and to the written comments that were received prior to the meeting. Robert Violo expressed several concerns such as the new development should be compatible with and respect the unique character of the established Rodd Avenue neighbourhood that the local residents bought into when they purchased their homes; the majority of residents in the immediate neighbourhood oppose the variances, as seen on the petition previously provided; the proposal is in effect a "monster home" due to both its height and width and will have a lasting negative impact on residents' lives; concerned that the proposed dwelling could accommodate a duplex; concerned that the height and width of the building will block sunlight onto adjacent properties reducing enjoyment of the land, and allowing moisture to more easily accumulate on adjacent rooftops; privacy and safety concerns regarding the rooftop terrace; items falling from that height could be fatal and it will provide a direct view into rear and side yards; concerned the proposal will impact the view of the surrounding conservation lands; concerned that reduced side yards will cause drainage issues in an area already experiencing flooding problems; concerned that 18 mature trees are being removed to facilitate the development; City tree removal policies need to be updated; concerned that a reduced side yard will negatively impact the row of trees on the east side of the property; considers the requested variances to be unnecessary and undesirable; the existing zone provisions are quite reasonable; although the reduction in side yards appears minor, it adds approximately 1,200 square feet of additional area to the dwelling, especially considering the boxy nature of the building and the variances are not minor, are not in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the zoning by-law and are not desirable for the appropriate development of the land. In response to questions and concerns from Committee Members and residents, Mahammad Khan stated a permit was received from the City to remove approximately eight trees; the railing for the roof top patio will be glass; and the proposed dwelling is approximately 4,200 square feet and will not be used as a rental property. Mahammad Khan also stated that he is willing to reduce the interior side yard variances however, would like to maintain the height variance for the roof top patio. Denise Rundle expressed a concern that the design does not fit the character of the neighbourhood, the property is over developed; that Council has spoken clearly to maintain a 9.0 metres building height, and that the four tests of the Planning Act, are not met, and moved the following motion: Moved by Denise Rundle Seconded by Eric Newton That application P/CA 19/18 by M. Khan, be Refused on the grounds that the maximum building height of 10.0 metres and a minimum interior side yard width of 1.2 metres are major variances that are not desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and are not in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

Sharma 356 Rouge Hill Court Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended: • to permit a partially covered platform (deck) to project a maximum of 2.7 metres into the required rear yard, whereas the by-law permits uncovered platforms not exceeding 1.0 metres in height above grade to project a maximum of 1.5 metres into the required rear yard • to permit a maximum lot coverage of 39 percent, whereas the by-law permits a maximum lot coverage of 33 percent The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain a building permit for a partially covered platform (deck) within the rear yard. Recommendation The City Development Department 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variances, subject to the following conditions: 1. That these variances apply only to the covered platform (deck), as generally sited and outlined on theapplicant's submitted plans (Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3). 2. That the applicant obtain a building permit for the proposed construction by April 20, 2020, or this decision shall become null and void. Comment Official Plan and Zoning By-law Pickering Official Plan — "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" within the Rougemount Neighbourhood Zoning By-law 3036 — "R3" — Residential Third Density Zone Report P/CA 27/18 April 18, 2018 Page 2 Appropriateness of the Application Partially Covered Deck Projecting into the Required Rear Yard and Lot Coverage Variances The intent of the maximum coverage provision of the zoning by-law is to ensure buildings and structures maintain an appropriate size, scale and massing, and that an adequate amount of outdoor amenity area remains uncovered on a lot. The by-law also requires appropriate setbacks to minimize any adverse impact on adjacent properties such as privacy, and to allow for appropriate access for maintenance, lot grading, and drainage. The by-law permits uncovered steps and platforms not exceeding 1.0 metre in height above grade to project a maximum of 1.5 metres into the required rear yard and permits a maximum lot coverage of 33 percent. The applicant has requested to permit a partially covered platform to project a maximum of 2.7 metres into the required rear yard and increase the maximum total lot coverage from 33 percent to 39 percent in order to permit a partially covered deck to remain within the rear yard. The partially covered rear yard deck has already been constructed. The area of the deck that is covered by a roof is approximately 26 square metres, while the remainder will be left uncovered. The partially covered deck maintains an appropriate size and scale compared to that of the main dwelling and will not result in any loss of usable amenity space in the rear yard. Additionally, the covered portion of the deck will increase the amount of usable amenity space in the rear yard in times of inclement weather. An appropriate setback between the partially covered deck and the side and rear lot lines will be maintained to provide for privacy from adjacent properties and to allow access for maintenance, grading, and drainage on the subject property. The increase in lot coverage and projection of the partially covered deck in the rear yard will not have any adverse impacts on adjacent properties. The requested variances are minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the lands and maintain the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law.

Gosling 425 Whitevale Road Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3037, as amended by Zoning By-law 2677/88: • to permit one medical office (naturopathic health practice) use not exceeding 191 square metres, whereas the by-law does not permit a medical office use The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application in order to expand the list of permitted uses on the subject lands to include a medical office (naturopathic health practice) in a vacant portion of the building. Recommendation The City Development Department considers the addition of one medical office (naturopathic health practice) not exceeding 191 square metres 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 and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance, subject to the following conditions: 1. That this variance apply only to the proposed medical office (naturopathic health practice) with a maximum gross leasable floor area of 191 square metres to be located within the building as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plan (Exhibit 2). 2. That the applicant obtain a building permit for the proposed internal renovations by April 20, 2020, or this decision shall become null and void. Comment Official Plan and Zoning By-law The City of Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property "Rural Settlements — Rural Hamlet" and is categorized as "Hamlet Commercial" within the Whitevale Rural Settlement Plan. The Uses permitted within the "Hamlet Commercial" category include retail, office, business, professional service and employment uses, in addition to residential uses. Report P/CA 28/18 April 18, 2018 Page 2 The subject property also falls within the Whitevale Heritage Conservation District which identifies buildings with heritage significance. The subject property is listed as a property with significance. The subject property is zoned "HMC9" — Hamlet Commercial Zone under Zoning By-law 3037 as amended by Zoning By-law 2677/88. This zone permits the following uses: bed and breakfast establishment, day spa, dwelling unit, professional office (only associated with the spa), restaurant — type A, retail store, and small implement repair shop. Background On May 2, 2012, the Committee of Adjustment approved application P/CA 16/12, which recognized existing front yard depths in order to obtain site plan approval. On November 26, 2014, the Committee of Adjustment approved application P/CA 104/14 to permit 1 professional office not related to the spa use, to a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 280 square metres, to permit a reduction in the required parking to a total of 21 parking spaces and to prohibit medical office uses. Appropriateness of the Application New Permitted Use Variance Approved Minor Variance Application P/CA 104/14 prohibited medical office uses on the subject property. The intent of prohibiting the medical office uses was to ensure that the uses permitted remain appropriate for a Hamlet setting and that sufficient parking is available to accommodate to the list of permitted uses on the subject property. The applicant is proposing to lease a portion of the vacant space (191 square metres) on the main floor of the building to a naturopathic health practice focused on adjunct cancer care. Information provided by the naturopathic health practice indicates that they will occupy not more than 5 parking spaces at any given time. The naturopathic health practice will have two naturopathic doctors on staff that will see patients 2 to 3 days a week with day, evening and weekend appointments ranging from an hour to an hour and a half in duration. The applicant has indicated that of the 21 parking spaces provided on the property, 7 spaces will be utilized by the landscape architect office, 5 spaces by the proposed naturopathic health practice and 2 by the dwelling unit. This will leave a total of 7 parking spaces available for future tenants of the existing vacant space in the building. Based on the applicant's submitted plans, approximately 365 square metres (37 percent) of the building is vacant or used as common storage area. Should any of this vacant/storage space become occupied in the future, it is recommended that a parking study be conducted for any proposed use to ensure appropriate parking is available. The requested naturopathic health practice can be supported as it does not operate as intensely as a typical family medical practice or health clinic. As such, the parking demand for this naturopathic health practice would be lower than other medical uses.

Newton 631 Liverpool Road Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2520, as amended by By-law 5938/02 to permit a private school on the subject lands, whereas the by-law does not permit a private school. The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to expand the list of permitted uses on the subject property to include a private school. Recommendation The City Development Department recommends that Minor Variance Application P/CA 29/18 be Tabled to allow for the applicant to submit a Transportation Impact Study, a Parking Justification Report and provide further details regarding the operation of the private school. Comment Between 1999 and 2002 a series of Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments created the City's Nautical Village. The Official Plan designates the subject lands as "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" within the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood. The subject lands are further identified as being within the Liverpool Road corridor which restricts permissible uses to retailing of goods and services, restaurants, offices, and community, cultural and recreational uses, to serve the tourist, recreational, boating and other community needs, as well as residential uses. The subject property is zoned "MU -13 Mixed Use within Zoning By-law 2520, as amended by By-law 5938/02. Zoning By-law Amendment 5938/02 rezoned the lands on the east side of Liverpool Road, south of 633A Liverpool Road and north of 595 Liverpool Road in order to facilitate the development of 17 live -work units along the east side of Liverpool Road; permit vehicle and boat storage behind the live -work units and permit a variety of commercial uses on the lands now known as 631 Liverpool Road. Uses permitted on 631 Liverpool Road through By-law 5938/02, include bed and breakfast, business office, club, day nursery, detached dwelling, accessory dwelling unit, personal service shop, professional office, restaurant — type A, and retail store. Report P/CA 29/18 April 18, 2018 Page 2 In 2015, the Committee of Adjustment approved Minor Variance Application P/CA 94/14 to permit a commercial school on the subject property, reduce the minimum rear yard setback from 25.0 metres to 20.0 metres, increase the maximum projection into the south side yard from 0.9 metres to 1.3 metres and reduce the minimum width of the two-way access drive aisle width from 6.5 metres to 3.8 metres. The Committee approved the variances on condition that the non-residential uses occupy only the ground floor and basement of the building and not exceed 360 square metres of gross leasable floor area. The applicant is now requesting to add a private school as a permitted use on the subject property, occupying the ground floor and basement of the building. A commercial school (martial arts studio) and a restaurant were initially planned for the ground floor and basement but is no longer being pursued. The private school is intended to be a Montessori School accommodating 40 students between Grades 1 to 8. To determine whether a private school is an appropriate use for the subject property and would not negatively impact the surrounding properties, staff requests that the applicant submit a Traffic Impact Study, a Parking Justification Report and a letter from the interested licensed private school operator confirming the following details regarding the operation of the proposed private school: • minimum outdoor play area requirements • the number of staff/teachers working on-site • the number of proposed classrooms • the maximum number of students the space can accommodate • the operation of on-site pick-up and drop-off • details regarding before and after-school programs • hours of operation The applicant shall also indicate how the private school will operate in conjunction with the other uses already permitted on the subject lands.

Ouelette & C. Chartrand Plan M20, Lot 19 806 West Shore Boulevard Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2520, as amended: • to permit a minimum south side yard setback of 0.91 of a metre; whereas the by-law requires a minimum south side yard setback of 1.5 metres The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application in order to obtain a building permit to enclose an existing carport to be setback 0.91 of a metre from the south property line. Recommendation The City Development Department 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 and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance, subject to the following condition: 1. That this variance apply only to the south side yard setback adjacent to the proposed enclosed carport, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plan (Exhibit 2). Comment Official Plan and Zoning By-law Pickering Official Plan — "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Area" within the West Shore Neighbourhood Zoning By-law 2520 — "RM1"— Multi Residential, single, semi duplex P/CA 30/18 April 18, 2018 Page 2 Appropriateness of the Application Minimum Side Yard Setback from a Proposed Enclosed Private Garage Variance The intent of a minimum side yard width requirement within the zoning by-law is to ensure that an appropriate separation between structures on abutting properties in order to maintain pedestrian access, and to accommodate grading, drainage and residential services such as air conditioning units and utility meters. The zoning by-law requires a minimum side yard width of 1.5 metres, where a garage is erected as part of the detached dwelling. The applicant has requested a minimum side yard width of 0.9 of a metre. The applicant isproposing to enclose the existing carport to create an attached private garage. The minimum side yard width is measured from the main wall of the dwelling. Once the garage is enclosed the minimum side yard width will be measured to the new garage wall reducing the side yard width to 0.9 of a metre requiring the applicant to seek relief from the zoning by-law. The proposed side yard width of 0.9 of a metre to the new garage wall would provide adequate width between the existing structures on abutting properties to accommodate pedestrian access, grading, drainage and residential services. The proposed design does not appear to impose a negative visual impact on the streetscape and it would be in character with the neighbourhood. The requested variance is minor in nature and maintains the intent of the zoning by-law.

Blair 1940 Glendale Drive Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended: • to permit a minimum south side yard setback of 1.5 metres, whereas the by-law requires a minimum side yard setback of 1.8 metres • to permit an accessory structure (detached garage) to be partially located within the south side yard, whereas the by-law requires all accessory structures which are not part of the main building to be erected in the rear yard The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain a building permit for the construction of a two-storey detached dwelling. Recommendation The City Development Department 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variances, subject to the following conditions: 1. That these variances apply only to the proposed dwelling and existing detached garage, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plan (Exhibit 2). 2. That the applicant obtain a building permit for the proposed construction by April 20, 2020, or this decision shall become null and void.

The zoning by-law requires a minimum side yard setback of 1.8 metres on one side and 3.0 metres on the other side, however where a garage or carport is erected as a part of the dwelling, a minimum side yard setback of 1.8 metres is required on both sides. The applicant has requested a reduction in the south side yard setback from 1.8 metres to 1.5 metres in order to construct a two-storey dwelling with an attached carport. The proposed side yard setback of 1.5 metres will provide an appropriate separation between the carport and the property line to accommodate pedestrian access, grading, drainage, and residential utility services. The proposed carport will be unenclosed, which will provide additional unobstructed access to the rear yard for both pedestrians and vehicles. The proposed dwelling will maintain the required side yard setback of 1.8 metres on the north side of the property and will maintain all other requirements of the zoning by-law, including building height, lot coverage, front yard setback, and rear yard setback. Therefore, the proposed dwelling and attached carport will maintain the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. The requested variance is minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land and maintains the general intent of the Zoning By-law and the Official Plan. Accessory Structure Partially within the Side Yard Variance The zoning by-law requires all accessory buildings, which are not part of the main building, to be erected in the rear yard. The intent of this requirement is to minimize the visual impact of accessory buildings on the streetscape and adjacent properties and to ensure that they are not the most prominent building on the property. An accessory structure (detached garage) is currently located on the subject property. As a result of the location of the proposed dwelling, the existing garage will be partially located within the side yard. The applicant is requesting a variance in order to obtain a building permit for a new detached dwelling, while retaining the existing detached garage in its current location. The existing garage maintains all other requirements of the zoning by-law including setbacks from lot lines. The detached garage will have a minimal visual impact on the streetscape as it is currently setback 22.8 metres from the front lot line and will be located behind the proposed detached carport. The location of the garage behind the carport and majority of the new dwelling will ensure that the detached garage is not the most prominent building on the subject property.

Zoning By-law 2511, as amended — "R4" — One Family Detached Dwelling Fourth Density Zone Appropriateness of the Application Side Yard Width Variance The intent of a minimum side yard width requirement is to provide an appropriate separation distance between structures on abutting properties in order to ensure compatibility with the existing neighbourhood, provide appropriate pedestrian access between dwellings, and to accommodate grading, drainage and residential services. The zoning by-law requires a minimum side yard width of 1.5 metres. The applicant has requested a minimum side yard width of 1.2 metres. The proposed side yard width will provide an adequate separation between the dwelling and the property line to accommodate pedestrian access, grading, drainage, and residential utility services. It appears that the proposed side yard width will have minimal impact on adjacent properties to the north. Flankage Yard Depth Variance The intent of a minimum flankage yard depth requirement is to ensure that an adequate landscaped area, parking area, and separation distance is provided between the dwelling and the adjacent street. The zoning by-law requires a minimum flankage yard depth of 4.5 metres. The applicant has requested a reduction in the minimum flankage yard depth to 4.2 metres. The applicant is proposing the garage and driveway to be located in the flankage yard abutting Park Crescent. Although the flankage yard depth is proposed to be 4.2 metres, due to the unusual shape of the property the setback from Park Crescent to the garage will be approximately 8.0 metres. An appropriate building setback is provided between the garage and the lot line to accommodate vehicular parking on the driveway. The proposed flankage yard depth of 4.2 metres will provide for an adequate landscaped area for soft landscaping elements such as trees and shrubs; and will provide for adequate building setback between the dwelling and Park Crescent. Report P/CA 32/18 April 18, 2018 Page 3 Front Yard Depth Variance The intent of a minimum front yard depth requirement is to provide for a consistent building setback to maintain the character of the surrounding area and to ensure a sufficient landscaped area is maintained between a dwelling and the street. The zoning by-law requires a minimum front yard depth of 7.5 metres. The applicant has requested a reduction in the minimum front yard depth to 6.0 metres. Although the driveway for the subject property is located off of Park Crescent, the front yard of the property is identified as the yard abutting Hillview Crescent. The requested front yard depth of 6.0 metres will maintain an adequate buffer space between the dwelling and the street and will ensure that sufficient landscaped open space can be provided within the front yard. The proposed front yard depth is in keeping with character of the surrounding area, as other front yard depths in the immediate area along Hillview Crescent vary considerably to as small as 0.3 of a metre. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed variances are minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land and maintain the purpose and intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

Gupta 130 Woodview Drive Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended: • to permit a minimum front yard setback of 5.3 metres, whereas the by-law requires a minimum front yard setback of 7.5 metres • to permit a maximum lot coverage of 36 percent, whereas the by-law permits a maximum lot coverage of 33 percent The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain a building permit for the construction of an addition to the existing single detached dwelling. Recommendation The City Development Department 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variances, subject to the following conditions: 1 That these variances apply only to the proposed addition, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plan (Exhibit 2). That the applicant obtain a building permit for the proposed construction by April 20, 2020, or this decision shall become null and void. Comment Official Plan and Zoning By-law Pickering Official Plan — "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" within the Rougemount Neighbourhood Zoning By-law 3036 — "R3" — Third Density Residential Zone Report P/CA 33/18 April 18, 2018 Page 2 Appropriateness of the Application Front Yard Setback Variance The intent of the zoning by-law provision requiring a minimum front yard setback is to provide for a consistent building setback to maintain the character of the surrounding area and to ensure a sufficient landscaped area is maintained between a dwelling and the street. The Zoning By-law requires a minimum front yard setback of 7.5 metres. The applicant has requested a reduction in the minimum front yard setback to 5.3 metres in order to accommodate an addition to the existing detached dwelling. The subject property is a corner lot with a unique pie -shape and curved front lot line. The entire east and south side of the property are located on the bend of Woodview Drive. The requested variance is required as a portion of the front facade of the proposed addition does not meet the setback requirements in the area of the property interpreted as the front yard. The front yard setback is measured from the closest section of the exterior wall of the dwelling to the front lot line. The proposed front yard setback will maintain an adequate buffer space between the dwelling and the street and will ensure that sufficient landscaped open space can be provided within the front yard, including adequate space to park multiple vehicles. The requested variance will not result in a negative visual impact on the streetscape, as only a small section of the dwelling and proposed addition will not comply with the required setback. Additionally, the front yard setback relief sought is appropriate considering the unique shape of the property. The requested variance is minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land and maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Maximum Lot Coverage Variance The intent of the maximum lot coverage provision is to ensure that the size, scale, and massing of a dwelling and accessory buildings is appropriate for the lot size and ensure an adequate amount of outdoor amenity area remains uncovered by buildings. The Zoning By-law permits a maximum lot coverage of 33 percent. The applicant has requested a variance to increase the maximum lot coverage to 36 percent in order to account for both the existing dwelling and the construction of a new addition. The proposed addition will maintain the required setbacks from the rear and side lot lines which will minimize any visual impacts on abutting property owners. The size and scale of the proposed dwelling is appropriate for the size of the subject property, which is a large corner lot. Additionally, the requested increase in lot coverage is marginal in nature and will maintain a sufficient amount of outdoor amenity space left uncovered by buildings. The requested variance is minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land and maintains the purpose and intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
