Page 4 DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS Background/Proposal

The subject property is located at 3872 - 159 A Street, is zoned Comprehensive Development (CD) (By-law No. 13614, as amended by By-law No. 14475), and designated Suburban in the Official Community Plan. The applicant is proposing a Development Variance Permit to reduce the minimum front yard (west) setback for two accessory structures of the current CD zoning from 18 metres (59 ft.) to 10.6 metres (35 ft.) for a shed and from 18.0 metres (59 ft.) to 14.0 metres (46 ft.) for an in-ground pool.

BY-LAW VARIANCE AND JUSTIFICATION (a) Requested Variance:

To reduce the minimum front yard setback of the CD Zone from 18 metres (59 ft.) to 10.6 metres (35 ft.) for a shed and from 18.0 metres (59 ft.) to 14.0 metres (46 ft.) for an in-ground pool.

Applicant's Reasons:

The requested front yard setback variance is to permit the construction of a proposed in-ground pool and accessory shed that is to be located in the side yard of the property. The accessory shed and pool are proposed to be sited in the side yard close to the proposed house, allowing the rear yard to remain open space.

Staff Comments:

The lot is relatively wide, which provides ample room in the south side yard to locate a pool and accessory shed. The pool is proposed to be setback a minimum of 5.2 metres (17 ft.) from the south side yard property line, which exceeds the minimum side yard setback of 1.0 metres (3 ft.) for an accessory structure by 4.2 metres (14 ft.).

The accessory shed is proposed to be located approximately 2.1 metres (7 ft.) from the south side yard property line, which also exceeds the minimum side yard setback for an accessory structure by 1.1 metres (4 ft.).

The proposed in-ground pool and accessory shed will be well-screened from the street by a rock wall and hedging, and separated from the adjacent property to the south by a 1.8 metre (6 ft.) high fence.

Staff supports this variance proceeding to Public Notification.
