MEMORANDUM

TO: Mayor and Council May 7th, 1976

Re: Rezoning Application R#3-75

At the regular Council Meetingof May 3rd, 1976 the
follewing resolutions were passed:

"The Approving Officer may recommend to Council
exemptions from minimum parcel width requirements
where the minimum lot size of 5,400 square feet
is met and the frontage is not. less’ than 50 feet".

"That the foregoing resolution approving application
R#3-75 to rezone property bounded by Langan, Brown,
Warwick and Taylor from RS~2 (one family suburban
residential) to RS-1 (One family residential) he
deferred for one week and referred to the Approving
Officer for review".

Attached is a sketch of Drawing No. 209-65 outlining
an ll lot subdivision with four 43 foot lots, four 60 foot lots,
one 65 foot lot, and two 67.5 foot lots. This proposed layout
does not conform to the resolution outlined above with respect
to frontage exemption It is the feeling of the undersigned
that the resolution of Council shculd be complied with until such
time as agreement has been reached on amendments to the Zoning
By-Law and Subdivision By-law relating to reduced frontages.
Council will recall that in this area of the City in particular,
Council has adopted a policy to prevent residential construction
on 33 foot lots. It would appear that to create 43 foot lots at
this time without amendments to the Zoning and Subdivision By~laws
could cause some problems. It is, therefore, the recommendation
of the undersigned that frontage exemptions be granted this
particular proposed subdivision in accordance with the resolution

of May 3rd, 1976.

It is further recommended that Council give consideration -
to amending the May 3rd, 1976 resolution as follows:

"The Council will consider exemptions from
parcel frontage requirements where the proposed
parcel meets the Subdivision of Land By-law in
every respect except frontage and where the
proposed reduced frontage is not less than 50
feet",
