A citizen was contesting the decision of Arrondissement de C\u00f4te-des-Neiges\u2013Notre-Dame-de-Gr\u00e2ce to refuse his request to widen his driveway. He was also complaining about the fact that it took a little over one (1) year for the Borough to give him an answer.<\/p>\n
Under the procedure in place, the Division des permis et inspections relays this type of request to the Division des \u00e9tudes techniques, for analysis: the second must thereafter inform the first of its conclusions.<\/p>\n
In the present instance, the delay was due to a disagreement on the applicable standards and also to the fact that, despite many follow-up calls by the citizen and the permit department, the Division des \u00e9tudes techniques was late in sending its conclusions.<\/p>\n
Due to our intervention, the citizen obtained the widening of his driveway notwithstanding the initial refusal of the Division des \u00e9tudes techniques: it turned out this refusal was based on requirements which were not provided for in the regulation.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, we are pursuing our intervention towards the improvement of the procedures for these types of requests.<\/p>\n
