I'm exploring the option of severing my lot but I'm a total newb. I've visited this link on the cities website http://www.toronto.ca/planning/pdf/cofa-appln-form.pdf but wanted to hear tips/suggestions/referrals from people who might have been through the process, I'm afraid of wasting $2000+ on completing the form incorrectly or lacking useful details to improve the likelihood of it being approved.
Background Info:
- My current property is a corner lot 50 (front) x100 (side)
- I have a detached garage that I'd like to demolish and build a 2 story family home
- My family may expand and outgrow our current bungalow but the lot appears (at least to me) large enough for two or more properties.
Need to know:
- Do most home owners submit the documents themselves?
- Do you need to have an architect complete plans before you submit?
- Who would be the best person to give you an opinion on the probability of an approval before you risk going out of pocket and submitting an application
Any information you could share would be helpful
Thanks!
