Origin

(February 24, 2020) Report from Joe Magalhaes, District Manager, Municipal Licensing and Standards, Toronto-East York District

Summary

This staff report concerns a matter for which the Toronto and East York Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

The purpose of this report is to advise Council concerning an application by the property owner of 94 Stanley Terrace for a site-specific Fence Exemption, pursuant to Section 447-1.5.B of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447- Fences. The property owner is seeking Council's permission to , which does not comply with stipulated by Section of the bylaw.

The fence is installed along the North side lot line (abutting 96 Stanley Terrace), the west lot line (abutting 95 Stafford St) and the South lot line (abutting 92 Stanley Terrace) in the rear yard. The fence on the North side ranges from 2.1 m to 2.6 m (6 feet 10 inches to 8 feet 7 inches) in height and approximately 2.2 m (7 feet 2 inches) wide. The fence material used is wood with horizontal slats.

The application is based on a complaint that was received from 96 Stanley Terrace. While the complaint was only received from the neighbour on the North lot line, it does exceed the fence height limits on the west and south lot lines as well. The fence was investigated by Municipal Licensing and Standards.
