Hi Brian,
I apologize for the frustration you experienced throughout your project approval process. It's great to see you are pleased with the room and to us, that's the most important part.
As with all construction projects sometimes we get difficult examiners. Therefore, there can be delays and revisions to permit and plans. The inspector was very good in this case and understood how we work. He ended up approving all our work on-site as promised.
In regards to the zoning issue. It is impossible for us to know ahead of time if a committee of adjustment will be required or not. The city of Toronto has very complicated zoning by-laws. The only way to know for sure is by drafting official plans and submitting them for a permit or at the very least a zoning review.
Unfortunately, we can't do that without some type of agreement in place. The good news is that we got it approved and built you a beautiful sunroom. We hope you enjoy it for years to come!
