P/CA 28/05 - K. Kozovski
526 Rosebank Road
(Part of Lot 88, Plan 350, Part 1,40R22695)
City of Pickering
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511, to permit a minimum rear
yard depth of 0.4 of a metre, and a minimum south side yard width of 0.4 of a
metre, whereas the by-law requires a minimum rear yard depth of 7.5 metres,
and a minimum side yard width of 1.5 metres.
The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain a building
permit for a proposed garage addition attached to the existing dwelling.
The Secretary-Treasurer outlined comments received from the City of Pickering
Planning & Development Department. Written comments were also received
from the City's Fire Prevention Officer, expressing no concerns. Additional
comments were also received from Jim Brancato and Nino Picciolo of Maitland
Drive in objection to the application.
Kote Kozovski, owner, was present to represent the application. Peter Kozovski
of 358 Rosebank Road was also present in favour of the application.
Nino Picciolo of Maitland Drive was present in objection to the application.
Kote Kozovski and Peter Kozovski explained the history of the property, that the
proposed garage would bring character to the home and the surrounding
neighbourhood, that they had spoken with the neighbour, to the south, who
stated no concerns with the proposed garage, and indicated there is no other
location for the proposed garage.
Nino Picciolo expressed concerns with the rear yard setback and would like to
see the proposed garage more inline with the house.
The correspondence from Jim Brancato and Nino Picciolo indicated; concern with
the reduction of the rear yard set back and noted that they would like to see the
rear yard maintained similar to the rear yard of the existing house.
In response to questions from Marie Billinger and Kote Kozovski, Ross Pym
indicated the subject property had previously received approval from the
Committee for reduced rear yard depth and continuance of insufficient flankage
side yard width.
MOTION: Moved by David Johnson, seconded by Chris Braney
That application P/CA 28/05 by K. Kozovski be REFUSED on the grounds that the
proposed minimum rear yard depth of 0.4 of a metre, and a minimum south side
yard width of 0.4 of a metre to be provided by the proposed garage addition are
major variances that are not desirable for the appropriate development of the land,
and not in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law.
