"Staff presented a DVP application to permit a new accessory garage in the rear yard, necessitating variances for setback from the main building and side yard. The existing garage would be converted to 'flex space.' Discussion focused on the presence of a restrictive covenant at the rear of the property (sensitive ecosystem/ravine), the maintenance of the neighboring hedge, and ensuring the flex space could not automatically become a secondary suite (zoning does not permit suites in detached accessory structures). Council requested overhead imagery and contour maps for the future presentation to better understand neighborhood impact."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT the report dated February 3, 2023 from the Community Planner titled "Development Variance Permit 2023/01 - 305 Anya Court" be received for information."
