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 578 Rustic Road 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 partial perimeter fence of the property that will not comply with the standards stipulated by Section 447-1.2(B)(1) and Section 447-1.2. The applicant is seeking permission to maintain a fence constructed of compressed wood with vertical-on-vertical boards with horizontal boards on top. The applicant is also asking to maintain such fence with a 2.4 metre sightline obstruction. The height of the fence is between 2.2 meters (87 inches) and 2.3 metres (94 inches) along the fence line due to the slope of ground alongside Jocada Road. It is a corner lot that borders a residential property driveway on the north side.
