CORRECTION NOTICE: updated hearing date (Monday, September 8th, 2025)

Re: 4 Belgrave Terrace – Notice of Variance Hearing 

Pursuant to Sections 235–237 of the Municipal Government Act (MGA), notice is hereby given that the Development Officer for the Town of Truro has refused a variance application to permit the construction of an 18.59 m (61 ft) long by 2.44 m (8 ft) high fence along the west side of the property abutting the east side of Young Street. The variance was requested to replace the existing 1.52 m (5 ft) high wood panel fence with one-inch gaps between panels.

Reason for Refusal

1. Fence Height Restrictions

• The subject property is located on a corner lot, abutting Belgrave Terrace (front) and Young Street (flanking side).
• Pursuant to Section 3.1.11(c)(i) of the Town of Truro Land Use By-law, fences located within 2.0 m (6.6 ft) of a lot line abutting a street shall not exceed 1.0 m (3.3 ft) in height.
• The requested 2.44 m (8 ft) fence would exceed this maximum permitted height by 58.75% and would also exceed the existing fence height by 37.5%.
• Approval of the variance would therefore contravene the By-law, which is intended to maintain a consistent, attractive, and inviting streetscape appearance.

Notice of Hearing

In accordance with Section 236 of the MGA, a public hearing will be held before Town Council to allow the applicant and members of the public within 30m of the subject property to speak on this variance refusal:

Date: Monday, September 8, 2025 
Time: 1:00 p.m. 
Location: 3rd fl. Council Chambers, Town Hall, 695 Prince Street, Truro, N.S.
