THAT Application A22/2023P for relief of Section 3.1(g) “Accessory Uses, Buildings and Structures” – to permit a minimum rear yard setback to an accessory structure of 0.11m and a minimum interior side yard setback to an accessory structure of 0.10m, whereas accessory structures are not to be located less than 1.0m from an interior side or rear yard line, is hereby: GRANTED The above decision is based on the following reasons: 1. The variance is minor in nature as the use of the structure as an extension of the storage area is not anticipated to result in additional noise or visual impacts over and above what is normal for residential use. Further, the roofed structure will not substantially alter the use or function of the site. 2. The general purpose and intent of the Zoning By-Law is maintained. 3. The intent of the Official Plan is maintained. 4. The proposal is desirable for the appropriate development and/or use of the land because the construction of the roofed structure eliminates the need to accommodate an additional accessory structure elsewhere on the site and allows for the retention of existing mature trees located in the rear yard of the site. 5. This application is granted without prejudice to any other application in the Town of Pelham. 6. The Committee of Adjustment considered the written and oral comments and agrees with the minor variance report analysis and recommendation that this application meets the Planning Act tests for minor variance. 7.
