2. Background
Page 5
2.1 On September 23, 2024, the Planning and Infrastructure Services Department received
an application for a minor variance at 6 Vetzal Court.
2.2 The application seeks to legalize the existing accessory structure to encroach into the
interior side yard setback from 0.6 metres to 0.36 metres.
2.3 There is a complaint on file (MCMP 2024 — 03257) from a neighbour for the accessory
structure regarding drainage issues and how the structure is too close to the fence.
2.4 This application first got tabled back in October of 2024 because there had to be ongoing
discussions between staff and the applicant to provide staff with the appropriate floor area
of the other accessory structures that were not captured on the site plan that was
submitted with this application. As a result, this application got tabled as there may have
been additional variances for lot coverage and/or height that were not accounted for.
2.5 This application got tabled again for the January COA meeting as the applicant did not
provide staff with the revisions that were required before the deadline to submit the
materials. Additionally, the applicant did not pick up their sign and this results in another
tabling application as the applicant was unable to meet the legislative requirements under
the Planning Act.
3. Public Notice and Submissions
3.1 Pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage acknowledging
the application was installed on the subject lands. In addition, a public notice was mailed
to each landowner within 60 meters of the subject lands.
3.2 At the time of writing this report, Staff did receive one inquiry from a member of the public.
The concerns are as follows:
• Grading and drainage issues
• Fire and safety concerns about the BBQ shelter
4. Conclusion
4.1 Given the above, Staff recommends that:
Minor Variance Application A2024-0046 for a minor variance to section 3.1 c) of Zoning
By-law 84-63 to legalize the existing accessory structure to encroach into the interior side
yard setback from 0.6 metres to 0.36 metres be tabled for a period of up to 60 days to
allow for further discussions between the applicant and staff to acquire more information
from the applicant to gain a better understanding of the accessory structures and
buildings that were not identified on the materials that were submitted, and to confirm if
there are any additional variances for this application.
