Committee of Adjustment

The Committee of Adjustment is deciding on a minor variance application (MV-2026-002) for a new single detached dwelling at 42 Rintas Road on Wildgoose Lake. The applicant requests four variances from Zoning By-Law 23-77, including reduced setbacks from the high-water mark and front yard, a slightly oversized porch projection, and temporary retention of the existing cottage during construction. The staff recommendation is to approve the variances with conditions.

• Reduce shoreline setback from high-water mark from 30 m to 20 m (65.6 ft)
• Reduce waterfront front yard setback from 30 m to 20 m
• Permit porch projection of 3.05 m (10 ft) into front yard vs. maximum 3.0 m
