The agent did amend the application to move the seasonal dwelling 30 m from the high water mark and confirmed that there would be no habitable space within the proposed boathouse. Since the proposed boathouse is utilizing the existing developed area, it will be setback from the shore 5.8 m. Therefore, the height of the boathouse will not be calculated by Section of the municipality s comprehensive zoning by-law, but will be measured from the existing grade along the front wall. The existing seasonal dwelling has a current water yard setback of 5.85 m (19.2 ft). It will be demolished and the footprint of it will be used for the construction of the boathouse. The Planning Consultant reviewed the changes made and did not feel a memo from him was warranted with the proposed seasonal dwelling out of the water yard setback.
