Notice of Public Hearing of Application For Minor Variance, Municipality of Lakeshore Committee of Adjustment
Applicant: Gilbert and Catherine Drouillard
Location of Subject Property: 3362 Manning Road
Purpose of Application: Minor Variance
The Applicant is seeking the following relief from Lakeshore Zoning By-law (2-2012) for an existing accessory building (approx. 1920 ft2 building footprint) that has been constructed on the Subject Property:
- Relief from subsection 6.5 a) v) to permit an accessory building to be setback a minimum of 9.5 metres (31.1 feet) from the front lot line, whereas subsection 6.5 a) v) states that an accessory building shall not be built closer to the front lot line than the minimum distance required by this By-law for the main building on the lot. The front yard setback requirement for a main building on the lot is 15 metres.
The Applicant received minor variance approval (file: A-02-2023) on March 22, 2023, to permit the accessory building to be setback 10 metres (32.8 feet) from the front lot line, but then the accessory building was constructed closer to the front lot line than what the minor variance permitted.
Please note that the Applicant intends to make an application to change the zoning of their property to permit the accessory building to be used for a gainful occupation. The request for this zoning change will be made through a future separate application to Municipality of Lakeshore Council. Separate notice of that application will be given as required under the Planning Act.
A 2023 aerial photo of the Subject Property is attached to this notice, as well as a site plan sketch detailing the minor variance request. Please note that the accessory building was recently constructed and does not appear on the 2023 aerial photo. The building footprint of the existing accessory building (approx. 40 feet by 48 feet) is detailed on the site plan sketch which uses the 2023 aerial photo as a base. A picture of the accessory building is also included.
