The subject lands are located within the Single Residential Zone ( hr1-4) of the Village of Belmont Zoning By- law No. 91-21, as amended. The applicant, being the owner of the subject lands, has applied for a minor variance from the provisions of the Village of Belmont Zoning By- law No. 91-21, as amended. The applicant Is requesting the following variance: I) To permit a southerly exterior side yard setback of 3. 5m, whereas Subsection 5. 2. 3( d)( iii) of the Village of Belmont Zoning By-law No. 91-21, as amended requires a minimum width of a side yard abutting a street to be 4. 5m.

2. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-Law The subject lands are within the Single Residential R1" Zone (R1-4) of the Village of Belmont Zoning By-law No. 91-21, as amended. Permitted uses of the R14 zone include one single detached dwelling per lot, uses, buildings and structures to the foregoing permitted use and home occupation. The proposed variance may be considered to be in conformity with the general intent of the Zoning By-Law. 3. Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land accessory The applicant is requesting a minor variance to permit a westerly exterior side yard setback of 3.5m, whereas the Single Residential Zone (hr1-4) requires a side yard abutting a street to be a minimum of 4.5m. Exterior side yard setback requirements are typically larger than interior side yard setback requirements, the increased separation distance helps to mitigate against impacts associated with noise, dust and lighting from the adjacent street. From the municipal perspective, the larger setback can also help in providing better site lines on corners for users of the adjacent streets, and the installation and maintenance of infrastructure within the road allowance, including the road surface itself, can be better accommodated without impacting upon the enjoyment of the use of the adjacent property. The proposed exterior setback of 3.5m provides adequate space to avoid con?ict with the ongoing use and maintenance of Snyders Avenue and its associated road allowance and should not have any signi?cant impacts to the use of the subject lands, surrounding neighbours or the function of the exterior side yard. The proposed variance may be considered desirable for the appropriate development of the subject lands. 4. Minor in Nature The assessment of whether a variance is or is not minor does not necessarily relate simply to the measured differences between what the Zoning By-Law permits and what the applicant is requesting. It has much to do with the potential impacts of the proposed development on the subject lands and neighbouring properties. The proposed exterior side yard setback of 3.5m provides adequate space to avoid con?ict with the ongoing use and maintenance of Snyders Avenue and its associated road allowance and should not have any signi?cant impacts to the use of the subject lands, surrounding neighbours or the function of the exterior side yard. The proposed variance may be considered minor in nature. 5. Comments The subject lands are currently vacant and are part (Lot 10) of a draft plan of subdivision 34T-01002. As a principle, new development on vacant lots should conform to the standards of the zoning by-law. The hardship in this case is not that a single detached dwelling cannot be built within the allowable buildable area, but rather that the proposed developers house designs willnot?t onto the lots given the existing setbacks. According to the applicant a 4.5m exterior side yard setback would unduly restrict the location and size of a potential dwelling on this corner lot.
