The Glens community made a presentation to the CofA (committee of adjustments) regarding the planned development of a property in Pineglen East. A number of nearby residents were opposed to the proposal, a few appeared and spoke to the Committee and Several observed.
The in-fill By-law is very specific in protecting mature neighbourhoods. It prevent garages in front of the home’s facade and offers larger setbacks for lots over 36 metres width. As the planning act cannot regulate certain aspect of development on large lots, it was decided to introduce measures that visually limit the building mass and make the development more compatible with existing houses.
