The lot dimensions on the Plan of Survey, prepared by Verhaegen Land Surveyors, dated December 9, 2019, provided by the applicant, differ from the lot dimensions on Registered Plan 50 (RP 50). The survey indicates that the lot has a width (frontage) of 17.1 m versus 15 m on RP 50, a depth of 34.9 m versus 32.9 m on RP 50, and a lot area of 599.2 m2 versus 547 m2. The surveyor notes the discrepancies on the Plan of Survey. The Office of the City Solicitor indicates that being based on more accurate surveying methods and being the more recent document, the consensus among real estate practitioners is to rely on the Plan of Survey for the proper lot dimensions.
