Property Address: 953 Boyle Road.
This application is seeking relief from Table 1-2 Regulations for Accessory Buildings and Structures in Non-Agricultural Zones (found in Part 3) of the Township’s Zoning By-law 2017-70, as amended, to construct a detached accessory building with a total area of 185 square metres and located in the rear yard of the property.
A variance is requested for an increased ground floor area of a building no greater than 185 square metres, whereas, 120 square metres is the maximum ground floor area permitted for an accessory building in a Residential Low Density ‘R1A’ zone. Therefore, the requested relief is for 65 square metres.
A variance is requested for an increased accessory lot coverage. The subject property currently has a detached private garage (82 square metres) and a chicken coop (8.5 square metres), and with the proposed accessory building, the total accessory lot coverage would be 275.5 square metres. Table 1-2 identifies 200 square metres as the maximum lot coverage for accessory buildings or structures within a residential zone. Therefore, the requested relief is for 75.5 square metres.
In addition, upon further review of the elevation drawings provided after the release of the notice, Staff identified a variance to allow a maximum accessory building height of 6 metres, measured from grade to the midway point between the eaves and the roof and ridge, whereas 5 metres is the maximum permitted.
