Refuse Building Permit At Glenlea Public Hearing
The Committee of Adjustment denied an application by Thomas contractors to build a house on lot 34 in Glenlea, saying the request was not a minor variance. The chairman said the plan exceeded jurisdiction and advised two options: appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board or seek a zoning by law change. The first hearing noted the lot did not meet area requirements, while lot 38 includes parkland deeded to the town and road clearance by a partial donation.
