Summary

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

The purpose of this report is to advise Community Council concerning an application by the property owner of 18 West Palm Court 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 Community Council’s permission to maintain a fence in the rear yard of the property that will not comply with the standards stipulated by Section 447-1.2(B)(1). The applicant is seeking permission to maintain a fence constructed of compressed wood with vertical-on-vertical boards with horizontal boards on top. The height of the fence varies between 79 inches (2m) to 102 inches (2.5m) due to the grading change and slope of ground along the perimeter of the property.
