Chapter 447 requires fences within this area to be of open construction to preserve sightlines to the adjacent boulevard and roadway. Following a public complaint, Municipal Licensing and Standards staff inspected the property and determined that the fence does not comply with the by-law and creates a sightline obstruction. A Notice of Violation was issued to the property owner. The existing fence does not meet the open-construction requirements of the by-law and impairs visibility at the driveway access.

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 122 Jeffcoat Drive because the fence fails to comply with the provisions of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447 Fences.
