A minor variance application has been applied for that requests two variances for a private garage to be located in front of the main dwelling. The first variance that is required is to permit a garage to be built ±15.55 meters (±51 feet) in front of the property’s main dwelling whereas Table 1-2 of the Township Zoning Bylaw 2017-70, as amended, identifies that an accessory building cannot be located closer to the front lot line than the main building. The second variance that is required is to permit a garage to be built with a minimum setback of ±5.08 meters (±16.67 feet) from the front lot line whereas Table 14 of the Township Zoning Bylaw 2017-70, as amended, identifies that a garage is required to have a minimum setback of 7.5 meters from the property’s front lot line. Both the main dwelling orientation on the property along with the Environmental Conservation features that are found on the property restrict the applicant in building the proposed garage in the rear or side lot of their property.

A minor variance application has been applied for to permit an existing garage to remain located ±91.44 centimeters (±36 inches) in front of the property’s main dwelling whereas Table 1-1 of the Township Zoning Bylaw 2017-70, as amended, identifies that an accessory building cannot be located closer to the front lot line than the main building. The applicant ended up building the garage ±91.44 centimeters (±36 inches) in front of the main dwelling to be able to access the property’s septic tank for required maintenance and cleaning.

A severance application for a lot addition to Marz Homes Land's current draft plan of subdivision application has been submitted by the Greek Association of Niagara who are located at 6659 Regional Road 20. The Greek Association is proposing to sever off ±0.56 hectares (±1.384 acres) and retain ±1.399 hectares (±3.456 acres). The land proposing to be severed is currently vacant and underutilized by the Greek Association. Marz Homes is proposing to develop the severed ±0.56 hectares of land with approximately 16 freehold single detached lots that front onto Street ‘B’ of their proposed mixed-use development.
