As the city filed it

On February 7, 2019, the North York Panel of the Committee of Adjustment refused a minor variance application in respect of the property municipally known as 14 Brookfield Road. This application is filed as Application A0841/18NY. The applicant sought relief from the City of North York Zoning By-law 7625 to permit the construction of a new three-storey dwelling on 14 Brookfield Road. The applicant proposed to demolish the existing house and build a new detached house that required variances for building height, setback distance, the number of storeys, permitted balcony area, and building length.

City Planning staff submitted a report dated January 23, 2019 to the Committee of Adjustment recommending refusal of the variances as the proposal was not in keeping with the existing physical character of the neighbourhood. Urban Forestry staff requested that the Committee of Adjustment deny the application due to impacts to by-law protected trees as set out in a staff memorandum dated January 29, 2019. Copies of the Notice of Decision of the Committee of Adjustment, the Planning Staff Report and the Urban Forestry Staff memorandum are attached. The applicant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's refusal of the application to the Toronto Local Appeal Body on February 25, 2019. A hearing is scheduled for July 8, 2019. The deadline for the City to submit a Notice of Intention to be a Party for the appeal is April 1, 2019.
