The purpose of this report is to advise Community Council of an application submitted by the owner of 83 Westhead Road, requesting a site-specific Fence Exemption pursuant to Section 447-1.3. E.(2)(a)-(e) of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 447 - Fences. The owner of 83 Westhead Road has applied for a Fence Exemption to permit an existing swimming pool enclosure constructed of vinyl (PVC) material located in the rear yard. The subject fence is a 2.0 metre high vinyl/PVC rear perimeter pool fence. Vinyl (PVC) is not a permitted pool fence material under Chapter 447, and an exemption is required for the fence to remain in place. The proposed fence does not create any sightline obstruction.

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 83 Westhead Road because the fence fails to comply with the provisions of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447 Fences.
