Consultation has concluded

On February 5, 2024, the owner of 239 Forest Street applied to enter into a Development Agreement to permit a new accessory building on their lot. Currently, the Town of Yarmouth Land Use Bylaw (LUB) does not allow for accessory buildings within front yards except for situations where access to the side or rear of lots is not practical or adequate. Given the unique subdivision and development history of the subject lot (239 Forest Street), this LUB requirement prevents otherwise typically acceptable placement of an accessory building.

If approved by Council, the proposed Development Agreement would provide the landowner with additional and appropriate, development flexibility that would allow for the intended accessory building to be constructed in the front yard of the lot as generally shown in Schedule B of the draft agreement.
