Application No. A3/10 for Minor Variance           Address: 10 Woods St., Kirkland Lake

 

Clarification made by T. Giesen that 8 Woods St. is zoned institutional and the use as a licensed establishment pre-dates the zoning by-law.

 

DISCUSSION:  Application presented by:  Owner Marya Laine

H. Phillips (owner of property adjacent to applicant’s south property line) spoke of his support of the application and his belief that a patio would be beneficial.

L. Irvine inquired about the use of a visual barrier between pedestrians and the patio. The applicant indicated that cedars would be planted to address this issue.

J. Merrell questioned how the extent of the patio use would be controlled. Through consensus it was decided that a condition should be attached that would limit the patio to the currently requested dimensions and location.

M. Aldred discussed the fact that the application was for a use that required no structure and would through the constraints of climate be seasonal. This was confirmed by the applicant.

Letters from the public: 10 letters in favour of outdoor patio

 

Motion to:         To establish a licensed outdoor patio for 8 Woods St. on part of 10 Woods St. to accommodate a Seasonal use.

Moved by: Ted Assad   Seconded by: John Merrell      Decision: Unanimous

 

Reasons:

1.             The development and its location is desirable for the use of the land 

2.             The use is minor in nature based on the fact that proposed use area is part of a consolidated property that includes three lots

 

Final Comments:  Last date to appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board is May 24, 2010

Meeting adjourned at 6:00 P.M.
