As the city filed it

On September 16, 2020, the Toronto and East York Panel of the Committee of Adjustment (the "Committee") refused a Minor Variance application brought by the owners of 18 Standish Avenue (Application A0098/20TEY). The Application proposes to construct a new detached dwelling, with integral garage, rear basement walkout and a rear ground floor deck on the lot. The decision of the Committee is attached. On October 5, 2020, the owners appealed the Committee's decision to refuse the Application, to the Toronto Local Appeal Body.

Local residents who opposed the application are seeking the support of the City to defend the position of the Committee of Adjustment. This intervention is urgent as staff are required to perform work in preparation of a hearing in the New Year.
