(416)263-2231 REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MAY 17th, 1982 REPORT NO. : PD-87-82 i SUBJECT: APPEAL TO THE ONTARIO MUNICIPAL BOARD OF MINOR VARIANCE APPLICATION A-8/82 BY SIB-JEL INVESTMENTS LIMITED RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1 . That Report PD-87-82 be received; and 2. That the Council of the Town of Newcastle hereby acknowledges the Appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board on Committee of Adjustment application number A-8/82 by Sib-Jel Investments and hereby authorizes Town staff and/or the Town Solicitor to represent the Town I at any such hearing that may be convened. I I BACKGROUND: ! An application had been filed by Sib-Jel Investments Limited for exemption from the provisions of By-law 1587, as amended, of the former Town of Bowmanville. The relief sought would permit the applicant to construct a three-storey addition to the existing plaza located on the corner of Simpson and King Streets in Bowmanville. The proposed addition would contain commercial and residential uses. a } i Report No: PD-87-82 . . ./2 The variance sought related to side yard requirements. The By-law requires six (6) metres, or approximately twenty (20) feet, and the applicant was seeking permission to build within 1 .8 metres, or six (6) feet of the property boundary. Planning staff reviewed this application and recommended that the application for minor variance be denied, as the existing development does not presently meet the By-law requirements relative to parking. In addition, Dominion Stores possess a valid easement over the lands affected by r the proposed expansion, restricting the erection of any new building on the site. The subject application was considered by the Committee of Adjustment on March 24th, 1982. The Committee's Decision was as follows: "That the existing development does not presently meet the By-law requirements relative to parking, and the fact that the Dominion Store possesses what appears to be a valid easement over the lands affected by the proposed expansion, the application to construct a three-storey addition to the existing building, leaving a side yard of 1 .829 metres (6 feet) to the east and maintaining a zero (0) sideyard to the t west, is denied." Staff also note that on April 5, 1982, staff Report PD-59-82 in respect of Sib-Jet 's application for site plan approval was considered by the General Purpose and Administration Committee and denied. Report No: PD-87-82 . . ./3 Planning staff are in support of the Committee of Adjustment' s Decision and are now requesting permission to appear at the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing in support of that position.
