 All decisions are subject to notice of the decision and all decisions made under the Planning Act are subject to appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT).

D13-ELE-03-25 - Application (SEE BELOW ATTACHMENTS)

Location of the Subject Lands

The lands subject to the proposed are legally described as 3 Church Street East, Colborne (Reid Plan, Part of Lot 81) A key map is attached showing the location of the subject lands.

Purpose and Effect of the Minor Variance

The purpose of the Minor Variance is to grant relief from Sections 8.2.2 of the Zoning By-law No. 08-18 (for minimum lot frontage) for the R1 Zone for a Single Detached Dwelling. Section 8.2.2 states the minimum lot frontage as 15.0 metres (49.20 ft). The subject lot frontage was pre-existing at the time of lot creation as 14.66 m (48.08 ft.). This variance is technical and is required as a condition of the approved consent application D10-ELE-14-25. The application is requesting a relief of 0.34 metres (1.11 ft.) from Section 8.2.2 to bring the subject lot into zoning compliance.
