MOTION: Moved by Bill Utton seconded by David Johnson That application PICA 24/06 by Jesse Gray, be APPROVED on the grounds that the variance to permit an insufficient front yard depth of 0.0 metre to the covered front porch of the existing dwelling is a minor variance that is desirable for the appropriate development of the subject lands, in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the variance applies only to the existing covered front porch, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans with this application. 2. That the applicant enters into an encroachment agreement with the City to permit the existing covered front porch to remain on the municipal boulevard within one year of the date of this decision, or this decision shall become null and void. 14 And - that the variance to permit an insufficient north side yard width of 0.7 metre be REFUSED on the grounds that this is a major variance that is not desirable for the appropriate development of the subject lands, is not in keeping with general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law.
