A Minor Variance application has been applied for to permit a proposed detached private garage (9.14 metres by 15.24 metres) on the subject property. Relief is being requested from Table 1-1 (found in Part 3 of the Township’s Zoning By-Law 2017-70, as amended) which identifies 50 metres as the maximum distance permitted for an accessory building or structure from a main building within an Agricultural ‘A’ zone. The proposed storage building (139.3 square metres) would be approximately 131.4 metres from the existing dwelling.
The Applicants are proposing to construct a new single detached dwelling on the property in the near future and will be demolishing the existing residence on the lot. Once construction of the single detached dwelling is completed, the proposed storage building will be slightly closer to the front lot than the main front wall of the dwelling. Therefore, relief is also being requested from Table 1-1 (Part 3) to permit the proposed storage building approximately 9.14 metres closer to the front lot line than the main building, being the future single detached dwelling.
