Committee of Adjustment

The Township of Wellesley's Committee of Adjustment is comprised of two councillors and three members of the public and 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 Geoff VanderBaaren, the alternate-secretary treasurer for the committee of additional information. 

Applications

• minor variance application
