CONSENT PUBLIC HEARING: (PREVIOUSLY ADJOURNED FROM DEC. 12/02 MEETING) 1. FILE NOS.: to SAVERIO BORAGINA (A86/02), ROSA MALFARA/SAVERIO BORAGINA (B87/02), ROSA MALFARA (B88/02) 3. Part of Lot 26, Concession 1, (Part of Lot 59, Plan No. M-3205, Parts 1, 2, 3, Reference Plan No. 65R-7460, municipally known as 119, 121, 123, Crestwood Road, Thornhill.) PROPOSALS B86/02 - The purpose of this application is to request the consent of the Committee of Adjustment to convey a parcel of land for an addition to an existing lot taken into the title of the lands to the West (121 Crestwood Rd), for residential purposes, and retain the lands for residential purposes. B87/02 - The purpose of this application is to request the consent of the Committee of Adjustment to convey a parcel of land for an addition to an existing lot taken into the title of the lands to the East (119 Crestwood Rd), for residential purposes, and retain the lands for residential purposes. B88/02 - The purpose of this application is to request the consent of the Committee of Adjustment to convey a parcel of land for an addition to an existing lot taken into the title of the lands to the East (121 Crestwood Rd), for residential purposes, and retain the lands for residential purposes. There are existing residential dwellings that will be demolished. Residential dwellings are proposed on the subject and retained lands. The subject and retained lands are zoned R2, Residential, and subject to the provisions under Bylaw 1-88 as amended. The Community Planning Department sent revised comments on January 17, 2003 stating the following: The Community Planning Department has no objections of Consent Applications B86/02 to B88/02. The applicant is proposing to convey a parcel of land from each lot and add it to the adjacent lot. The result would create four lots with smaller lot frontage out of the original three lots. The resulting frontages will be three 16.6m frontages and one 16.9m frontage. The majority of the surrounding lot frontages are 22m. The proposed lots do meet the minimum lot frontage and lot area requirement of the Zoning By-law. It is noted, there is one existing lot frontage of 16.76m at 134 Crestwood Road. The Community Planning Department s staff had a meeting with the applicants and their agent. At the meeting, the agent presented staff with a past OMB decision for the severance of 161 and 165 Crestwood Road into three lots. The proposed lot frontages were 14.76m, 14.76m and 15.0m. The OMB approved the applications to create the three lots. The decision contained some of the following reasons to support the severances: Although many of the lots on Crestwood still have large frontages, By-law 1-88 has allowed for much smaller frontages with minimal side yards for many years. The OMB member concluded that with the use of a much smaller side yard setback, the spaciousness that accompanied the original housing and some of the older bungalows was disappearing as new and/or replacement housing is built. The impact of this change will be for Crestwood to increasingly display a more urban streetscape. If the City believed that the Crestwood streetscape, featuring large lots and ample side yards was worthy of protection then more stringent standards should have been passed. Like many streets close to major transportation corridors, Crestwood Road has proven to be a desirable place to live. As such, it is undergoing change and that change will no doubt continue. (Valente B33/98 & B34/98, OMB PL980378). In review, the proposed lots by these applications (B86/02 to B88/02) comply with the requirements of By-law 1-88. The proposed lot frontages (three 16.6m and one 16.9m frontages) are larger then the lots supported by the OMB. Given the above noted OMB decision, the Community Planning Department now has no objections to Consent Applications B86/02 to B88/02. Page 3 of 27

Given the lot frontage of the subject lands, the By-law permits a maximum floor area of a garden shed to be 8.0 sq. metres. The applicant s shed exceeds the new by-law standard, therefore, the yard setbacks of the dwelling has been applied to the garden shed. The Community Planning Department does not support the requested variances of Variance Application A17/03 for a garden shed given the recent new standards contained in By-law 152-2002. Sal Galuffo, the owner, appeared and submitted photos. He stated that his neighbours at 150 Torii Street supported his application but that 132 Torii Street did not.
