Putting a pool in your backyard? It could become a lot more expensive, says Toronto councillor | CBC News

But under the proposed changes to the city's official plan, they'll lose that exemption, meaning homeowners who want to install a pool will need to go to the local committee of adjustment and request what's known as a minor variance. That's an expensive, risky process, according to urban planner Sean Galbraith of Sean Galbraith and Associates. Most homeowners will need to hire a professional planner to appear on their behalf at the committee, which he estimates will cost $6,000 to $8,000.
