As the city filed it
The applicant applied to the Committee of Adjustment (Application A0403/20TEY) (the "Application") to alter the existing two-storey detached dwelling at 37 Boustead Avenue by constructing a rear three storey addition, a full third storey addition and a rear second storey balcony. The Application also proposes interior alterations in order to facilitate an additional secondary suite, which would result in a total of four units within the dwelling.

More specifically, the Application requests variances with respect to floor space index, building depth, front yard parking, number of parking spaces and secondary suite requirements. City Planning provided a report to the Committee of Adjustment dated December 2, 2020 recommending refusal of the Application on the basis of the parking related variances. The report is attached. At its hearing on December 10, 2020, the Committee of Adjustment approved the Application (the "Decision") with a condition. The Notice of Decision is attached. This Motion will authorize the City Solicitor to appeal the Decision and to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body with appropriate City Staff or outside consultants, in order to oppose the minor 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 the last day to appeal the Decision is December 30, 2020 and the City Solicitor requires instructions to appeal and subsequently attend the hearing in opposition to the proposal.
