The fence is located in the rear yard on the north property line and forms a barrier to the neighbouring property. Some parts of the fence exceed the allowed height limitation. The fence material is wood, board on board with a lattice on top. The application is based on a complaint that was received by and investigated by Municipal Licensing and Standards.

Staff recommended

The District Manager, Municipal Licensing and Standards, West District recommends that the Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Refuse to grant the application for an exemption permit, by the property owner of 102 Lomar Drive, for a fence that fails to comply with the provisions of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447, Fences and to issue a second notice to the property owner to bring the fence into compliance. OR 2. Grant the application for a fence exemption permit, without conditions, thereby allowing the fence to be maintained as constructed.
