Report Overview
This report is intended to provide background information regarding the vacancy on the
Committee of Adjustment for the Municipality of Clarington and to assist Council in the
appointment for this position.
1 . Background
1 .1 . Committee of Adjustment
The Committee of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial body appointed by Council. The
Committee consists of six members. The Committee meets on an as needed basis,
typically twice monthly. The Committee requires a minimum of three members to make
quorum so that decisions can be made at a meeting. As per the Planning Act, the
Committee of Adjustment receives and decides on minor variance applications in respect
of land, building, structure or use thereof.
2. Committee of Adjustment- Vacancy
Paul Allore was appointed to the Committee of Adjustment in March, 2015 for a term
ending in in December 31, 2018 or until a successor is appointed. On May 25, 2016, the
Municipal Clerk's Department received notification of his resignation. Following Council's
appointments in March 2015, all unsuccessful candidates were advised that their
applications would remain on file for consideration should a vacancy occur.
Accordingly, the Municipal Clerk's Department contacted previous applicants (and any
additional applications received since the appointments were made) to determine whether
they wish to put forward their name for consideration. Neither of the two applicants were
willing to be considered for appointment to this Committee, at this time.
Notice of the opportunity for appointment was published on the Website and in the local
newspaper. One application was received from Shelley E. Pohjola.
Applications have been circulated under separate cover (Attachment 1) as they contain
personal information.
