As the city filed it

This staff report concerns a matter for which the North York Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. The purpose of this report is to consider an application by the owner(s) of 311 Patricia Avenue to maintain an existing pool enclosure in the rear yard. The height of the pool enclosure fence exceeds the height of the bylaw. The rear yard (West fence) measures 2.16 meters in height.

The rear yard (South fence) measures 2.1 meters in height. The rear yard (East fence) measure 2.13 meters high. The gates of the pool enclosure do not have self closing / self latching devices and the latches are not the required height. There are egresses from the dwelling leading directly into the enclosure. This is contrary to the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447-1.3.

Staff recommended

The District Manager, Municipal Licensing and Standards, East District recommends that: 1. North York Community Council refuse to grant the application for an exemption permit, by the owner(s) of 311 Patricia Avenue to maintain a swimming pool enclosure in the rear yard of the property for an enclosure that fails to comply with the provisions of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447, Fences and to direct staff to issue a second notice to the property owner to bring the swimming pool enclosure into compliance.
