Origin
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.
This report responds to an application submitted by the owner of 3100 Weston Road requesting a site-specific Fence Exemption under Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447, Sections 447-1.2A(2) and 447-1.2B(1) – Fences.
The owner is seeking approval to maintain an existing aluminum fence approximately 3.0 metres in height with barbed wire installed along the top, located along portions of the north and west sides of the property. The application also proposes the construction of additional fence sections along the south side of the property to match the existing fence.
Municipal Licensing and Standards staff determined that the existing and proposed fencing exceeds the maximum permitted height permitted under Chapter 447 and includes barbed wire, a prohibited fence component. As a result, a Notice of Violation was issued, and the owner subsequently submitted a Fence Exemption application.
Given that the fence does not comply with the height and construction requirements of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447 – Fences, staff are of the opinion that the requested exemption is not supportable.
