Topics Discussed

BILL 23 APPEAL RIGHTS

The chair reminded attendees that "only the applicant, specified persons, or public bodies may appeal the committee's decision to the Ontario Land Tribunal." The chair also noted that Bill 23, the More Homes Built Faster Act, amended the Planning Act in November 2022 to remove appeal rights for members of the public.

Written copies of decisions must be requested by email from the Secretary-Treasurer. Notices are mailed within 10 days for minor variance applications and within 15 days for consent applications.

APPLICATION 134 OF 2026 — 2072 SALVATORE BOULEVARD

The committee deferred the application to a future meeting date that was not specified. Resident Alisa Syler submitted a formal objection letter. The chair said Syler and other interested parties would be notified when the application is rescheduled and would have an opportunity to address the committee.

APPLICATION 105 OF 2026 — 604 MAPLEHURST DRIVE

The committee approved, with conditions, an application deferred from the Aug. 19, 2026, meeting. The proposal is for a 14-by-10-foot backyard cabana or accessory structure with a mono-slope roof that is partially open on four sides.

The requested variances allow total lot coverage of 36.72% and a maximum structure height of 3.1 metres, compared with the applicable 30% lot-coverage standard and 2.5-metre height limit. Agent Osmin Kosaravi of Kerry Engineering represented property owners Mr. and Mrs. Badro.

Support letters were submitted by Abby Kazmar, QD Van, Brian Peters and Andrew Wood. Committee member Miss Price said, "The efforts made to reduce the height and size of the open area structure have helped to maintain existing neighborhood character."

The approval requires the accessory structure to be built generally in accordance with the submitted site plan.
