The City of Moose Jaw’s development appeals board has scheduled a public meeting to hear from two property owners who want to build infrastructure that is contrary to the zoning bylaw.
The board has set the meeting for Tuesday, May 21 at 5:15 p.m. in the mayor’s conference room at city hall.
Jason Edwards, of 1205 12th Avenue southwest, and Randy Hanson, of 901 Normandy Drive, will appear before the board to ask for approval of their respective projects.
Edwards has filed an appeal requesting a variance under the zoning bylaw to permit the construction of a six-foot fence on his property. The proposal provides for the construction of a residential fence with a height of 1.8 metres (six feet) in the front yard, which is greater than the maximum height of one metre (3.3 feet), as stated in the municipality’s zoning bylaw.
Hanson has also filed an appeal under the zoning bylaw to permit the construction of a detached garage on his property. The proposal provides for the construction of an accessory building with a combined floor area of 191.6 square metres (2,063 square feet). This is contrary to the 83.61 square metres (900 square feet) prescribed in the municipal zoning bylaw.
Furthermore, the overall accessory building height of 5.48 metres (18 feet) is contrary to the 4.5 metres (14.8 feet) prescribed in the zoning bylaw.
City council approved a motion unanimously during its May 13 regular meeting to receive and file the notice.
The next regular council meeting is May 27.
