The subject lands are also designated Low-Rise Residential by the new City of Vaughan Official Plan 2010, which is subject to approval from the Ontario Municipal Board. The proposal conforms to the policies of the Official Plan. The Development Planning Department conducted a site visit with photo documentation on April 25, The subject lands are developed with a two-storey single detached dwelling on the north side of Governer Crescent. In regards to requested Variance #5, the Development Planning Department has no concerns with the 0.76 m interior side yard setback to the A/C unit. For requested Variance #2, the existing rear yard sunroom addition is 3.05m high and 3.63m wide, thereby reducing the rear yard setback to 5.32m. The Development Planning Department deems that the existing sunroom has minimal visual impact on abutting properties. For Variance #1, the Vaughan Development/Transportation Engineering Department has identified no drainage issues caused by the existing side entrance stairs. The Development Planning Department concurs and supports proposed Variance #1. However, the Development Planning Department also advises the Owner that the second entrance in the interior side yard cannot be used for access to a basement apartment, as basement apartments are not permitted in the City of Vaughan. The Development Planning Department is of the opinion that Variances #1, #2 and #5 are minor in nature, meet the intent Development Planning Department I City of Vaughan I 2141 Major Mackenzie Drive I Vaughan, ON L6A 1T1 T: I F: I

33 Page 2 of 2 of the Zoning By-law, and are desirable for the appropriate development of the land. For requested Variances #3 and #4, The Owner is seeking to maintain an existing driveway width of 7.89m and a reduced front yard soft landscaping of 26.15%. The southerly portion of the driveway tapers toward the streetline and consists of asphalt. The Development Planning Department is of the opinion that the existing driveway width and reduced front yard landscaping are considered inappropriate. The widening of driveways and reduction of landscaping impacts the streetscape and character of the surrounding community, thereby setting a negative precedence that is undesirable for the community. Accordingly, the Development Planning Department is of the opinion that proposed Variances #3 and #4 are not minor in nature, do not meet the intent of the Zoning By-law, and are not desirable for the appropriate development of the land. Recommendation: The Development Planning Department supports Variances #1, #2 and #5 for Minor Variance Application A089/13. The Development Planning Department does not support Variances #3 and #4 for Minor Variance Application A089/13 Condition(s): None.

56 Chiovitti, Mark Subject: FW: File Number: A089/13 From: Alfredo DiGenova Sent: Tuesday, August 13, :52 PM To: Chiovitti, Mark Subject: File Number: A089/13 Good afternoon Mark, as per our discussion: I am ing you in regards to File Number A089/13 (Fauzia Khan) regarding the Notice of Application for a minor variance. I am in opposition of the following application. I live at 525 Chancellor Drive and as a local Realtor, I feel that a separate side entrance will lead to multiple rental dwelling units bringing a negative impact on the value of the real estate in the area. At the moment, these are single family homes and as a resident of the area, I would like to keep it that way for as long as possible. Regards, "The referral of your friends and family is the greatest compliment you can give me. Thank you for your Trust."

58 Chiovitti, Mark Subject: FW: -----Original Message----- From: fauzia khan Sent: Sunday, August 25, :44 PM To: Chiovitti, Mark Subject: Mark, Thank you for the update. Does all the staff know that we werent aware of all these variences when the proprty was bought. Why these issues werent disclosed before we bought it. Hence may be in a title search. Why did the original owner wasnt told to correct the variences. We have suffered so much since we bought the proprty with raining water entering in the basement, spending so much money just to get the varinces right as you already know, most importantly the emotional attatchment with home that no one can put a price on has been injured severly along with time spent on this entire venture. All we have done is bought a property with good faith. Only thing that was done is the side door enterence for only the purpose of kids being able to invite their friends and enjoy a large space when watching movies, playing pool, study with friends without disturbing their parents. We have no idea where the notion of basement apartment came from? Not to mention that following addresses : Governor cres 11, 23, 57, 65, 71, 87, ( fauzia khan owned 87 after she sold it the new owner had a side door put in) 92, 107, 111 Chancellor ave 411, 389 Embassy 37, 53, 61, 67, 73, 78, 264 All these have side door enterences. Are all these rental basement apartments? We think not... Kindly we need to finish the side door enterence and get everything sorted out without spending anymore money. Also the concern of the neoghbour having 2 children, remedy is we can put up a fence. Thanks Fauzia 1

60 Chiovitti, Mark Subject: FW: Committee of Adjustments File A089/13 From: Bob Carino Sent: Thursday, September 19, :53 AM To: DeFrancesca, Rosanna; Committee of Adjustment Cc: Bevilacqua, Maurizio Subject: Committee of Adjustments File A089/13 It is with deep regret that I, Robert Carino of 117 Governor Crescent, Woodbridge, Ontario, L4L 5G5, write this letter. On January 28, 2013, I called the City of Vaughan to inquire about a side door that was built at 115 Governor Crescent, a property adjacent to my property ( the Adjacent Property ). An inspector from the Building Standards Department was dispatched to the Adjacent Property and a stop work order was immediately placed on the Adjacent Property. The City of Vaughan found that the door on the Adjacent Property was constructed without any permits and contravened the City of Vaughan Zoning By Law. Since that date, there have been 3 scheduled hearings before the Committee of Adjustments, all of which have been adjourned. Most recently, at the meeting of September 12, 2013, the applicant had not successfully submitted her amended plans. The applicant was instructed by the Committee of Adjustments to have all their homework done before the next meeting on October 3, 2013 and to also provide these plans to myself and discuss with me the changes. The onus should not be placed on me to resolve this contravention to the City of Vaughan by law, the onus should rest with the City of Vaughan and the Committee of Adjustments. The applicant was waiting for me outside of the Committee Chambers to plead her case. I was subjected to the Applicant s pleas until 8:30 pm outside the Committee Chambers while the City Staffers and Committee left the building. I resent the fact that I have been placed in this position. Building a fence will not resolve the significant issues associated with the door. I have already gone on record in writing to the City of Vaughan and the Committee of Adjustments and, at the previous meeting of the Committee of Adjustment, orally noted my objection to this variance and have asked that the door be removed and the Adjacent Property be brought back to its original state. This position has not and will not be changed. This Committee needs to render a decision on this variance and stop all these delays. The door has been built on the Adjacent Property contrary to the by law which requires the set back to the property line to be 1.2 meters, the proposal asks for a variance to that set back to a new distance of 0.44 meters. I have voiced my objection and will not alter from my position. Instructing the applicant to amend their application and engage in discussions with the neighbor is only delaying a final decision and exacerbating the negative impacts of this application upon myself and my family. Sincerely, Robert Carino 1
