GIOVANNI CHIODO Cont’d… PROPOSAL The subject lands are zoned R3, Residential under By-Law 1-88 as amended and further subject to Exception 9(696). The purpose of this application is to request variances to permit the construction of a proposed one storey rear addition (solarium) and a covered patio / concrete terrace as follows:

Proposals:

1. A minimum rear yard setback of 5m to the solarium. 2. A minimum rear yard setback of 4.65m to the chimney pilaster. 3. A minimum exterior side yard setback of 1m to the covered porch. 4. A maximum lot coverage of 49%.


1. A minimum rear yard setback of 7.5m to the solarium. 2. A minimum rear yard setback of 7.0m to the chimney pilaster. 3. A minimum exterior side yard setback of 4.5m. 4. A maximum lot coverage of 40%.

Paul Carvaggio, the agent, appeared on behalf of the applicant. There was no one in attendance either in support of or in opposition to the request. The Planning Department made the following written comments: The applicant has applied for a variance to permit the construction of a one-storey rear addition in the rear yard and a covered and unenclosed terrace in the exterior side yard to an existing one storey single detached dwelling. The applicant is requesting a reduction of the rear yard setback to 5.0m to the proposed solarium addition, rather the required minimum 7.5m; a reduction of the rear yard setback to 4.65m to the proposed chimney pilaster rather the required 7.0m; a reduction of the exterior side yard setback to 1.0m to the proposed covered and unenclosed terrace rather than the required 4.5m; and an increase in lot coverage to 49% rather than the maximum 40% lot coverage requirement. The subject property is a 654m2 corner lot. This Department is of the opinion that the proposed reduction of the exterior side yard is too close to the street and would negatively affect the streetscape. As a result, the Development Planning Department does not support the reduction of the exterior side yard setback from 4.5m to 1.0m. The maximum lot coverage in the R3 Residential Zone is 40%. The existing lot coverage is approximately 36.2%. The applicant is requesting an increase in lot coverage to 49% resulting from the solarium and covered terrace additions, which represents an increase in lot coverage of 12.8%. The Development Planning Department is of the opinion that the proposed increase in lot coverage is excessive for this area. There have been no requests in the general area for a lot coverage increase similar to Variance Application A112/06. This Department would support a lot coverage increase from 40% to 43.05%, which represents the lot coverage increase to facilitate the proposed one-storey addition (solarium) in the rear yard. The Development Planning Department supports the variances for the reduction of rear yard setbacks to the proposed one-storey solarium in the rear yard. The Development Planning Department has no objection to Variance Application A112/06 with respect to the reduction of the rear yard setback to the proposed addition in the rear yard. The Development Planning Department does not support the reduction of the exterior side yard setback from 4.5m to 1.0m. This Department does not support the increase in lot coverage from the maximum 40% to 49%, but will support a maximum 43.05% lot coverage to facilitate the one-storey addition (solarium) in the rear yard.
