15 General Committee 2017/05/31 15 RECOMMENDATION GC Whereas the City required the builder of homes along Glen Erin Drive between Britannia Road and Erin Centre Blvd. to install hammerheads alongside the full driveway; And whereas there were no size restrictions in the Zoning Bylaw and hammerheads were not included in the city s general zoning bylaw for driveways; And whereas all hammerheads along Glen Erin Drive were built to an approximate size of 16 deep and 16 wide allowing for a vehicle to park in the hammerhead; And whereas this has been the situation since 1992 when the homes were built; And whereas in 2007 the City amended the Zoning bylaw for the first time to add a section on hammerheads and to restrict the size of hammerheads in the city; And whereas no notices were sent to any resident who has a previously site plan approved hammerhead that this was the new restriction; And whereas over time many if not most of the hammerheads along Glen Erin have been widened to accommodate two vehicles; And whereas parking along Glen Erin has been banned in several locations making all parking for those homes only available on the driveway and hammerhead; And whereas the resident at 5881 Glen Erin Drive widened his hammerhead in 2005 to a width of 19 leaving the existing depth of 16 and was told by By-law enforcement that it did not comply to the new bylaw necessitating an appeal to the Committee of Adjustment; And whereas Planning staff at the C of A advised the committee that the variance was not for only 3 feet in width but that now the hammerhead fell under a new zoning requirement of a maximum width of 8.5 feet that the variance was therefore not minor; And whereas the committee not having any information of the previous city approved requirements and size of the hammerheads, refused the application; And whereas it is unfair that the resident was not made aware in 2007 that these changes would be in in place and that his previously approved property rights would be removed; And whereas the committee did not have the full information they should have been provided with to make a reasonable decision; And whereas the city could spend a lot of time and money opposing the committee decision at the OMB which would likely grant the application based on all the facts;

16 General Committee 2017/05/31 16 Therefore be it resolved that Council waive the Committee of Adjustment fee for the resident at 5881 Glen Erin Drive to reapply for his variance so that all facts can be put before the committee on this matter. And further that Planning staff be directed to review the restrictions in the 2007 Zoning bylaw to ensure that all previously city required and approved hammerheads are not affected by the new size requirements and that any future applications for variances be based on the initial approved size. RECORDED VOTE YES NO ABSENT ABSTAIN Mayor B. Crombie Councillor J. Tovey Councillor K. Ras Councillor C. Fonseca Councillor J. Kovac Councillor C. Parrish Councillor R. Starr Councillor N. Iannicca Councillor M. Mahoney Councillor P. Saito Councillor S. McFadden Councillor G. Carlson Approved (Councillor Saito) (10, 0, 2-Absent) 10. MATTERS PERTAINING TO REGION OF PEEL COUNCIL Nil 11.
