13 MINOR VARIANCE PUBLIC HEARING 13. FILE NO: A118/02 IOLE RITA CATENACCI Part of Lot 9, Concession 6, (municipally known as 8305 Pine Valley Drive, Woodbridge). The subject lands are zoned A, Agricultural, under By-law 1-88 as amended. The applicant is requesting a variance to permit the maintenance of an existing storage shed, in the rear yard of an existing single family detached dwelling, notwithstanding, the rear yard setback is 6.7 metres, rather than the By-law requires the rear yard setback to be 15.0 metres. The Community Planning Department sent the following comments: The subject lands are designated Low Density Residential by OPA No. 240 (Woodbridge Community Plan). The Community Planning Department is of the opinion that the proposed variance is not minor in nature, and therefore cannot support a reduction in the rear yard requirement from 15m to 6.7m. Given a configuration of this lot in the neighbourhood context, a reduction in the rear yard would permit a structure that would have a negative visual impact on the adjacent residential uses. The existing shed is visible from many perspectives, including the temporary terminus of 3 road allowances, and the front yards of several adjacent lots. Consequently, it is not expected that any amount of screening/fencing would reduce the visible impact of this structure. Staff are also concerned that the approval of this variance to permit the shed to remain in this location may delay or preclude the long-term objective to complete the constructed road pattern for this community. Therefore, this Department does not support Variance Application A118/02. Frank Catenacci, son of the owner, and acting as the agent, appeared and had nothing to add to the request. The Committee stated it was concerned with the Community Planning Departments comments. Mr. Catenacci replied that a building permit had been issued in 1996 for the shed. A building inspector then came to the property, after the shed had been rebuilt in the same location as the original shed, before it was destroyed by fire, and that no concerns were raised at that time. Now the By-law Department made a visit and advised him that no building permit had been issued and that he needed a minor variance application. The Committee asked Mr. Catenacci to find the building permit with a sketch attached and that his application would be adjourned to the next meeting being May 23, There was no one in attendance either in support of or in opposition to the request. Seconded by K. Hakoda THAT Application No. A118/02 IOLE CATENACCI, be ADJOURNED TO THE MAY 23, 2002 MEETING. Page 13 of 19
