The proposed gates are to be constructed of wrought iron, with dimensions of approximately 1.5 metres in width by 1.2 metres in height, and 2.1 metres in width by 1.2 metres in height. The proposed gates do not comply with the access protection requirements set out in Chapter 447 of the Toronto Municipal Code, which requires that where any wall of a building forms part of a pool enclosure, there shall be no access to the enclosed pool area through that wall.

Staff recommended

The District Manager, Municipal Licensing and Standards, East District recommends that North York Community Council: 1. Refuse to grant the application for exemption by the owner of 38 Farmview Crescent because the fence fails to comply with the provisions of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447 Fences.
