  • Guide for Objecting to a Minor Variance And/Or a Land Severance
    GUIDE FOR OBJECTING TO A MINOR VARIANCE AND/OR A LAND SEVERANCE Prepared by Frank G. Oakes, Barrister & Solicitor, May 16, 2011 The following is offered as a brief guide for persons wishing to object to an Application to the Committee of Adjustment (the Committee) for a minor variance of a zoning bylaw and/or division or severance of land. OBJECTING TO A MINOR VARIANCE Sub-section 45(l) of the Planning Act (PA) sets out four Statutory Tests which must be considered by the Committee and satisfied by the applicant, before an Application for zoning variance can succeed. If the Application fails any one of the four Tests, while passing the other three, then the PA requires that the Application must fail. These Tests, being created by statute, are mandatory and all must be met. Notwithstanding that a proponent may satisfy all four Tests, the Committee may in its discretion refuse relief. The following are the four Tests to be applied; 1. Is the variance minor? A variance can be held to be not minor for two reasons, that it is too large or too important to be considered minor. The latter reason can be resolved by determining the extent of the impact on neighbouring properties in the immediate and general area. The primary issues raised for abutting owners are related to loss of sunlight, privacy, views, spacing and openness which may result from the mass, height and bulk of the proposed development. There may also be issues related to access, trees, parking, drainage, traffic and noise. The issues that may arise related to the general area are that the development is incompatible with the established built form and character of the neighbourhood and that it erodes the aesthetics of the streetscape.

  • Section 1: Evaluating Borrower Income Chapter 4
    HB-1-3550 CHAPTER 4: BORROWER ELIGIBILITY 4.1 OVERVIEW Ensuring that all applicants served are eligible and receive the correct amount of assistance is a significant responsibility of Loan Originators and Loan Approval Officials. A borrower must be income-eligible, demonstrate a credit history that indicates ability and willingness to repay a loan, and meet a variety of other program requirements. This chapter provides guidance for each of these areas. • Section 1: Evaluating Borrower Income provides instructions for calculating and verifying annual, adjusted, and repayment income. • Section 2: Evaluating Borrower Assets discusses Agency requirements for cash contributions to the purchase and methods for computing income from assets. • Section 3: Credit History identifies indicators of acceptable and unacceptable credit and provides instructions for reviewing an applicant’s credit history. • Section 4: Other Eligibility Requirements addresses a variety of other requirements applicants must meet to be eligible for the program. • Section 5: Processing the Certificate of Eligibility provides policies and procedures for processing Form FD 1944-59, Certificate of Eligibility. SECTION 1: EVALUATING BORROWER INCOME 4.2 OVERVIEW [7 CFR 3550.53(a) and (g), 7 CFR 3550.54] Loan Originators use income information to: (1) help determine whether an applicant is eligible for a loan; (2) calculate the applicant’s ability to repay a loan; and (3) determine the amount of the loan and the amount of payment subsidy the household can obtain. When reviewing an applicant’s repayment income, the Loan Originator must determine whether the income is stable and dependable. This will typically be accomplished by reviewing information provided in the application, paystubs, tax returns, and oral verifications.

  • Gentrification and the Ethics of Home Katherine Joanne Nopper
    † Designated as an Exemplary Final Project for 2017-18 Gentrification and the Ethics of Home Katherine Joanne Nopper Faculty Advisor: Joseph Richard Winters Religious Studies African and African American Studies April 2018 This project was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Liberal Studies Program in the Graduate School of Duke University. Copyright by Katherine Joanne Nopper 2018 Abstract Gentrification is the subject of a recent wave of books and scholarship, continuing debates regarding the responsibilities of the “gentrifiers” and the impact of gentrifying landscapes on marginalized communities. This project looks in a different direction, using a multi-media approach to investigate the ethics of home in relation to aesthetics, architecture, capitalism and the culture industry. Strongly informed by the critical thought of Theodor Adorno, five essays bring multiple disciplines and theories together: Marxist geography (David Harvey, Neil Smith), architecture (Sarah Goldhagen, Lester Walker), philosophy and history (Walter Benjamin, Adorno), African American literature (Octavia Butler, Toni Morrison, Pauli Murray), and decolonial literature and thought (Ousmane Sembène, Franz Fanon, Aimé Césaire). Incorporating citations and literary passages, as well as the author’s own photography and linocut prints, the project images the contradictions inherent in the idea of home and emphasizes the impossibility of living an ethical life under capitalism. iii Contents Introduction………………………………...………………………………….1 Chapter One: Accumulation………………………………………………………....7 Chapter Two: Environment…………………………………...……………………30 Chapter Three: Proximity…………………………………………………….52 Chapter Four: Fetish…………………………………………………….……67 Chapter Five: Gentrifier…………………………………………………..….90 Bibliography…………………………………………………..……………103 iv Acknowledgments In my first weeks at Duke I was fortunate to meet my advisor, recognizing even then that my studies here would be profoundly influenced by our conversations and his enthusiasm.

  • Temporal Severance and the Exclusion of Time in Determining the Economic Value of Regulated Property
    Temporal Severance and the Exclusion of Time in Determining the Economic Value of Regulated Property By CARLA BoYD* THE RIGHT TO OWN property and do with it as one chooses is a cherished right of every United States citizen. At the same time, this individual liberty must be tempered with protection of the environ- ment and society as a whole. The law of regulatory takings sits in the balance of these often conflicting purposes. This Comment focuses on one specific area of regulatory takings jurisprudence-conceptual sev- erance in general and temporal severance in particular. A regulatory taking occurs when the government regulates in such a way that it unduly interferes with the bundle of rights associated with a land- owner's property.' A regulatory taking requires compensation when it goes "too far."2 A critical question in determining whether this has 3 occurred is what portion of the landowner's property is considered. Should the courts consider the regulation's impact on the entire par- cel of land or only the land directly affected by the regulation? The latter approach, known as "conceptual severance," severs the portions 4 of land affected by the regulation from the unaffected portions. The related approach of "temporal severance" involves a tempo- rary rather than permanent regulation.5 In determining whether a regulation has gone "too far" in this instance, it is necessary to ask whether the courts should examine the impact of the regulation on * Class of 2003. The author would like to thank her grandparents Herb and Widgie Hastings for their unconditional love and support, and Professor Alice Kaswan for her valuable assistance in the development of this Comment.

SEVERANCE OF JOINT TENANCIES* ROBERT W. SWENSON** AND RONAN E. DEGNAN*** In their casebook on Property, Professors Myres S. McDougal and David Haber have adopted this enviable title for the chapter on concurrent interests: Anachronism Redivivus.1 These words epito- mize rather well the current law relating to joint tenancies. The subject is thoroughly burdened with concepts which might be described as archaic if that were not such an understatement. This Article will examine one facet of joint tenancy law-the right of one tenant without the consent of the other to "sever" the joint tenancy and thereby defeat the "right of survivorship" of the other. As in many other areas of property law, the courts have character- ized "severance" with such formulism that there is neither consis- tency nor clarity in the governing principles. The nature of the right to sever a joint tenancy is intimately related to the legal metaphysics which surrounds the joint tenancy in general.
