Mr. Baffa, returned to tell the Committee that he ll amend the variance to reflect a 3.5m side yard instead of 2.4m A letter of opposition was faxed from Mr. Longo office, on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Gibson. There was no one in attendance either in support of or in opposition to the request. Planning Department made the following written comments: The site specific zoning by-law (242-2001) for the 9 lots within draft plan 19T-00V01 was approved by Council with provisions for 9.0m rear yard setbacks and 4.5m exterior side yard setbacks in order to maintain a consistent character and compatible development with abutting existing dwellings. These provisions were the combined result of the desire for consistent application of Maple Area standards, and to address the objections of adjacent residents who expressed concern with reduced rear yard setbacks within draft plan 19T- 00V01. It is the opinion of the Planning Department that these variances would not provide for a compatible interface with the existing adjacent lots, and therefore do not support the variance applications. There were no other objections from any Departments or Agencies and any conditions requested are listed below. The Committee is of the opinion that the variances sought AS AMENDED, can be considered minor and are desirable for the appropriate development and use of the land. The general intent and purpose of the By-law and the Official Plan will be maintained. MOVED by S. Perrella Seconded by L:. Fluxgold THAT Application No. A212/02 1396462 ONTARIO INC.
