Committee of Adjustment

Application for relief of Section 7.4(a) – Minimum Lot Frontage is requested to permit a frontage of 5.72 metres whereas 46 metres is required, is hereby: GRANTED The above decision is based on the following reasons: 1. The variance is minor in nature in that the lands are unaltered and no negative impacts on adjacent uses are anticipated. 2. The general purpose and intent of the Zoning By-Law is maintained in that the frontage reduction is less than what is required but is satisfactory for driveway access which is accomplished through reciprocal rights-of-ways. 3. The intent of the Official Plan is maintained in that it will help correct a previous unfortunate circumstance by reconfiguring open space to facilitate a shared road access to Cream Street. 4. The proposal is desirable for the appropriate development and/or use of the land in that it will recognize the frontage shortfall and give legal status to develop a land locked parcel. 5. This application is granted without prejudice to any other application in the Town of Pelham. 6. No objections were received from commenting agencies or abutting property owners. 7. 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. The above decision is subject to the following conditions: 1. That concurrent Consent Applications B18/2017P, B19/2017P, B20/2017P and Minor Variance Appl

Application for relief from Section 7.7 (b) – Minimum Side Yard & Rear Yard seeking 1.22 metres whereas 3 metres is required to facilitate construction of a detached garage, is hereby: GRANTED The above decision is based on the following reasons: 1. The variance is minor in nature in that sufficient distance still separates the lot line and can accommodate drainage. 2. The general purpose and intent of the Zoning By-Law is maintained in that some spatial separation is maintained for drainage purposes and maintenance of the exterior walls. 3. The intent of the Official Plan is maintained in that rural aesthetics are maintained with no negative impacts to neighbours as drainage must be contained on site and greater distance buffers the proposed garage from the Greenbelt Natural Heritage Systems to the west. 4. The proposal is desirable for the appropriate development and/or use of the land in that it will allow for greater use of the existing rear yard amenity space. 5. This application is granted without prejudice to any other application in the Town of Pelham. 6. No objections were received from commenting agencies or abutting property owners. 7. 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.
