DEVELOPMENT OFFICER’S DECISION 

“APPROVED - The proposed development is approved subject to the following 

conditions: 

Any future deck enclosure or cover requires a separate 

development and building permit approval. 

An approved Development Permit means that the proposed 

development has been reviewed against the provisions of this 

bylaw. It does not remove obligations to conform with other 

legislation, bylaws or land title instruments such as the Municipal

caveats, covenants or easements that might be attached to the Site. 

(Reference Section 5.2).”

APPELLANT’S SUBMISSION 


9:00 A.M. 

“1. Unsightly, with no consideration to the impact on our property. 

2. Will devalue our property. 

3. This is not a simple open deck. There is a 12 foot high stucco wall 

extending from the house to within 3 feet of our fence and running along our 

fence for over 10 feet. It should be considered as site coverage for the 

property as it looks like an extension of the house exterior. 

4. No permits were taken out prior to construction.” 

___________________________________________________________________ 

SUBDIVISION AND DEVELOPMENT APPEAL BOARD OFFICER’S COMMENTS 

This application is to construct a rear two tier uncovered deck (irregular shape -

The subject appeal hearing is tabled in order for the Respondent to 

provide to the Board a detailed Site Plan drawn to scale, showing the 

Setbacks, Site Coverage, Projections and Height of the existing and 

proposed development on the subject site. This plan shall be 

provided to the Board Office on or before November 23, 2012, in 

order to provide an opportunity for review and comment from the 

Sustainable Development Department.” 

Under Section 685(3) of the Municipal Government Act, “no appeal lies in 

respect of the issuance of a development permit for a Permitted Use unless 

the provisions of the land use bylaw were relaxed, varied or misinterpreted.”

“The deck was built by the contractor. He told me he had a permit taken out and it 

was okay. Property report shows the deck is not in compliance.” 

___________________________________________________________________ 


This application is to extend an existing rear uncovered deck (7.32 metres by 3.74 

metres by 1.25 metres high). 

The site is located on the west side of Donsdale Drive, south of Darlington 

Crescent, and is zoned RF1 Single Detached Residential Zone, Section 110 of the 

Edmonton Zoning Bylaw. The site is within the West Jasper Place (South) Area 

Structure Plan under Bylaw 5768 (as amended), approved by City Council in 

September 1979 and within Donsdale Neighbourhood Structure Plan under Bylaw 

10933 (as amended), approved by City Council in May 1995.

appeal to a subdivision and development appeal board is commenced by 

filing a notice of the appeal, containing reasons, with the board within 14 

days….after the date on which the person is notified of the order or decision

The decision of refusal by the Development Officer is dated October 11, 

2012. Fourteen days from the decision date is October 25, 2012 and the 

Notice of Appeal was filed on November 5, 2012. 

The submitted Real Property Report dated July 18, 2012 indicates that the 

proposed uncovered deck (existing without permits) is 7.25 metres by 3.74 

metres in size, is attached to the rear (west) elevation of the existing 

principal dwelling and is located 3.97 metres from the (west) Rear lot line 

and 1.54 metres from the (north) Side lot line.

Section 6.1(90) states that Site Coverage means the total horizontal area of 

all buildings or structures on a Site which are located at or higher than 1.0

definition shall not include: 

a) steps, eaves, cornices, and similar projections; 

b) driveways, aisles and parking lots unless they are part of a Parking 

Garage which extends 1.0 metre or more above grade; or 

c) unenclosed inner and outer courts, terraces and patios where these are 

less than 1.0 metre above grade. 

The maximum allowable Total Site Coverage is 326.99 square metres, 

proposed is 343.09 square metres, which exceeds the maximum 

allowable Total Site Coverage by 16.10 square metres. 

Under Section 110.4(7), the minimum Rear Setback shall be 7.5 metres, 

except in the case of a corner Site it shall be 4.5 metres. 

Under Section 44.3(a), Platform Structures may project into a required 

Setback or Separation Space, provided such projections do not exceed 2.0 

metres into Setbacks or Separation Spaces with a depth of at least 4.0 

metres. 

Platform Structures means structures projecting from the wall of a building

Therefore, the deck may project 2.21 metres into the required setback (7.71 

metres – 7.5 metres = 0.21 metres + 2.00 metres), proposed is 3.74 metres 

and exceeds the maximum allowable the 1.53 metres.
