On the agenda
As the city filed it
The applicant applied to the Committee of Adjustment (Application A0610/17NY) in 2017 for variances to the applicable zoning by-laws to construct a new dwelling at 50 Gwendolen Crescent. The Application was deferred in order to allow the applicant to meet with City Staff to discuss the proposal. The Application requests variances with respect to building height, maximum number of storeys, encroachments into building setbacks, and setbacks from shoreline hazard or stable top-of-bank.

At its hearing on February 7, 2019, the Committee of Adjustment refused the application (the Decision). A copy of the Decision is attached. The applicant has appealed the Decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. This Motion will authorize the City Solicitor, and appropriate City Staff, to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body in order to oppose the proposed variances requested in the Application. This Motion will also give the City Solicitor authority to negotiate a settlement of the appeal and retain outside consultants as necessary. This matter is time sensitive and urgent as a hearing for this matter has been scheduled for August 13, 2019 and the City Solicitor requires instructions to attend the hearing.
