The fence exceeds the maximum height permitted under Chapter 447 of the Toronto Municipal Code for residential properties. Municipal Licensing and Standards staff inspected the property and confirmed the fence exceeds the permitted height. As a result, a Fence Exemption is required for the fence to remain in its current form.

Staff recommended

The District Manager, Municipal Licensing and Standards, West District recommends that Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Refuse to grant the application for exemption by the owner of 271 Valermo Drive because the fence fails to comply with the provisions of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447 Fences.
