On September 18, 2024, the Committee of Adjustment (the “Committee”) refused Application A0174/22SC brought by the owner of 16 Martindale Road for six variances to City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 to demolish the existing dwelling and to construct a new two-storey detached dwelling (the “Decision”). A copy of the Decision is attached as Attachment 1. In the Decision, the Committee decided to refuse Application A0174/22SC (the “Application”) finding that the proposed variances do not maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-Law, are not considered desirable for the appropriate development of the land and are not minor. On October 2, 2024, the owner appealed the Committee’s Decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body (the “Appeal”). The Application presents outstanding concerns relating, but not limited to, the proposed floor space area, building height, building length, building depth and rear yard setback. The Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing has been scheduled for January 28, 2025. The Notice of Hearing is attached as Attachment 2. The deadline for the City to file for party status is November 25, 2024 – as such this Motion is urgent. This Motion will give the City Solicitor authority to attend at the Toronto Local Appeal Body to oppose the Appeal. The Motion also authorizes the City Solicitor to negotiate a settlement of the Appeal and retain outside consultants as necessary.
