Origin

(December 7, 2023) Report from the District Manager, Municipal Licensing and Standards, East District

Summary

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

 

The purpose of this report is to consider an application by the owner(s) of 7 Cicada Court to maintain an existing pool enclosure in the rear yard. The enclosure has horizontal boards that do not meet the required dimensions, the gates of the pool enclosure do not have self closing/self latching devices and the latches are not the required height.  In addition, the open mesh fencing construction has openings that are too large.

 

This is contrary to the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447-1.3
