OWNERS: Tara Muscutt and Chris Muscutt

APPLICANT/AGENT: Jacob Sanger

LOCATION: 202 Fath Avenue, Aylmer

ROLL NO: 3411-020-0005-9544

Purpose and Effect of Application A01-26

The subject lands are located within the Low Density Residential land use designation of the Town of Aylmer Official Plan. The subject lands are also zoned Residential Type 1B (R1B) in the Town of Aylmer Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 57-99. The subject lands contain a single detached dwelling and an accessory building (detached garage), as outlined in yellow on the back of this notice.

The owners have converted the upper level of the existing accessory building from a storage area to one (1) additional residential unit. The existing accessory building was legally constructed in 1994. The zoning by-law in effect in 1994 (by-law no. 19-91) permitted a maximum accessory building height of 5.0 m (16.4 ft.), measured vertically from the finished grade to the average level between the eaves and the ridge; the height of the existing accessory building based on this regulation is 4.4 m (14.44 ft.). The current zoning by-law (by-law no. 57-99) states the maximum height of an accessory building shall not exceed 5.5 m (18.1 ft.) at its highest point (as per Section 3(1)(d) of the Zoning By-law). The existing accessory building has a maximum height of 6.4 m (21.0 ft.) at its highest point. The owners are seeking relief from Section 3(1)(d) of Zoning By-law No. 57-99 to increase the maximum accessory building height from 5.0 m (16.4 ft.) to 6.4 m (21.0 ft.) to permit one(1) additional residential unit.
