1744 — 1780 Morgan Avenue
Development Variance Permit (File No. 74/88)

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Clerk's Office be directed to notify surrounding property owners
of this application and place a resolution about the application on a
subsequent agenda of City Council

And That City Council approve relaxation of the Zoning Bylaw No 2240, Section
601 minimum lot depth and Section 801 (6) rear yard setback for proposed Lots
15 through 20, of Lots 2,3,4 and 5 of D.L. 255, Grp 1,NWLD Plan 17243.

COMMENTS :

This development variance permit arose because of the necessity to keep
Cameron Avenue at a 15 meter width. Initially, design of this subdivision was
to use half of Cameron. In that plan, the lots conformed to Zoning Bylaw
regulations. But, due to the requirement to keep Cameron as a buffer, the
subdivision now takes only 5 metres from the aorth side of the road.
Configuration of the existing properties, and the necessity to provide a
future connection to neighboring properties does not permit subdivision of
standard depth lots.

The Planning Committee in reviewing this preblem, felt that it would be an
opportunity to experiment with "compact housing" lots. Based on this
opportunity, approval of the development variance permit is recommended. The
variance requested is to relax minimum lot depth from 28 metres to 25 metres
for three lots and 26 metres for two Iets. Accompanying this is a relaxation
of the rear yard setback from 7.5 metres to 6 metres to take up the space at
the back. All lots meet the minimum size requirement of 375 square metres.
