MEETING DATE:

August 29, 2013

OWNER: Zhe Lu and Yang Li FILE(S): A256/13 Location:

291 Isaac Murray Avenue Ward 1, Vicinity of Teston Road and Keele Street

Proposal:

The Owner is requesting permission to maintain an existing deck, deck stairs, shed, and A/C unit, with the following variances:

Variance Proposed Required 1 Minimum rear yard setback to deck and

deck stairs 4.15m 6.2m

2 Minimum rear yard setback to shed 0.53m 8m 3 Minimum interior side yard setback to

shed 0.43m 1.2m

4 Maximum building height of shed 2.9m 2.5m 5 Minimum interior side yard setback to A/C

unit 0.46m 1.2m

Official Plan:

The subject lands are designated “Low Density Residential” by in-effect OPA #350 (Maple Community Plan), and “Low-Rise Residential” by the new City of Vaughan Official Plan 2010, which is subject to approval from the Ontario Municipal Board. The proposal conforms to the policies of the Official Plan.

Comments:

The Development Planning Department conducted a site visit with photo documentation on August 13, 2013. The two-storey single detached dwelling maintains a basement walk-out at the rear of the building. The deck stairs and second floor deck are located adjacent to an Agricultural Zone on the southeast side of the property and have limited visual impact on neighbouring properties to the south and east. As such, the Development Planning Department has no objection to the reduced setback of the deck and deck stairs. The Development Planning Department has no objection to the reduced side yard and rear yard setbacks and the increased height of the shed, or to the reduced side yard setback of the raised A/C unit. The Development Planning Department is of the opinion that proposal is minor in nature, meets the intent of the Zoning By-law, and is desirable for the appropriate development of the land.

Recommendation:

The Development Planning Department supports Minor Variance Application A256/13.

Condition(s):

None.
