The property is also subject to the Harbord Village Heritage Conservation District Phase 1, Part V Designation under the Ontario Heritage Act through By-law 137-2005. On August 21, 2019, Heritage Preservation Services, in a report to the Committee, was generally satisfied with the revisions made to the plans and drawings before the Committee on the minor variance application and directed that the approval of the minor variance application be conditional on obtaining heritage permit approval under section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act. On August 22, 2019, Urban Forestry, in a further report to the Committee, did not object to the removal and requested a series of conditions be imposed on the minor variance approval. On August 22, 2019, City Planning recommended refusal of Variance Number 2 and Variance Number 4 related to garage height and building depth. City Planning provided no comment on the other variances requested. On September 3, 2019, the Committee refused the Applications, as the minor variances did not meet the Planning Act's four tests. The Applicant has appealed the Committee's Decision to refuse the Application to the Toronto Local Appeal Body, and the hearing has been set for January 21, 2020.
