Committee of Adjustment

The Mayor and Councillors have been appointed as the Township of Wellesley's Committee of Adjustment which deals with two types of applications.

• Applications for consent - to request severances, rights of way, easements or leases. An example is severing land to create additional lots or needing a right of way for a joint driveway or shared services.
• Applications for minor variances or permissions - to request variances to the zoning by-law.  An example is constructing an addition with less than the required backyard setback.

Please contact Kaitlyn Werth, the secretary treasurer of the committee of additional information.
