Consent to SeverMinor VarianceSingle Detached DwellingToronto
On Melrose Street in the City of Toronto, our client aimed to realize the full potential of their property through the creation of an additional residential lot. The proposal involved a severance application to divide the existing lot into two equally sized parcels, each with a frontage of 7.62 metres and a lot area of 290.30 square metres. This development replaces a single two-storey detached dwelling with two new single-detached homes, effectively doubling the housing density on the site.
Design Plan Services Inc. was retained to provide professional planning justification for the Committee of Adjustment, securing the necessary consent to sever and associated minor variances.
