BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
On June 8, 1983, staff received a request for zoning
clearance with regards to a mortgage on a lot fronting on
Windsor Valley Place, being Parts 2, 3 and 24, Plan
1OR-1389, forming part of Registered Plan M-747.

Report No: PD-97-83 . . ./2
In reviewing this clearance request, staff noted that the
property had been zoned subject to "Special Provision By-law
81 -170" , and, that the subject lands did not conform with
the sideyard requirements of this "Special Provision"
zoning. Staff then reviewed By-laws preceeding By-law
81 -170, which had been used as guidelines for the zone
provisions, and found that the sideyard provisions in each
of the By-laws 80-127, 80-137 and 81 -170 had the same error
and had been carried on as such. The sideyard provision
reads as follows :
"Interior sideyard (minimum) 1 .8 metres,
provided that where an attached garage or carport is
provided, the minimum sideyard shall be 3.7 metres on
the driveway side."
The error which appears to have occurred is the substitution
of the word "an" for "no" preceeding the words "attached
garage". The intent of this Section was to provide a
greater sideyard on one side of the property where no
attached garage or carport was to be constructed. However,
the effect of the sideyard provision as it presently exists
would provide for a larger sideyard with the attachment of a
garage, which is opposite to the original intent of this
By-law provision.
Therefore, to avoid problems upon submission of building
permit applications for lots affected by these By-laws,
staff are recommending that the attached By-law amending
By-laws 80-127, 80-137 and 81 -170, and rectifying the
sideyard provision be approved.
Respect fitted,
