Item - 2024.TE14.27

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Granted the application for a fence exemption permit, without conditions, thereby allowing the fence enclosure to be maintained as constructed;  additionally, directed and required that the installation be maintained in good repair without alteration; and at such time as replacement of the fence is required that such installation will comply with Municipal Code Chapter 447, or its successor By-law.

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 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 permit the erection of a chain link fence 3.05 metres in length 1.2 metres in height with a self closing self latching gate mounted to the rear wall of the garage to restrict garage door access opening, which does not comply with Section 447-1.3.C(3) of  the bylaw. 

The property owner is seeking relief from the by-law regulations by permitting the erection of a chain link fence 3.05 metres in length 1.2 metres in height with a self closing self latching gate mounted to the rear wall of the garage to restrict garage door access opening.

Municipal Licensing and Standards Division reviewed the request for deviation from the original site plans associated to the pool enclosure application on January 16th, 2024; the subject property owner submitted a fence exemption for review on February 2nd, 2024.
