 From:Karen V. Bricker, MCIP, Commissioner of Urban Development, Etobicoke

 Subject:Supplementary Report

Shell Canada Limited and D.E. & V.I. Investments Limited

320 Burnhamthorpe Road and 475 Renforth Drive

 File Nos. Z-2257 and Z-2258(Markland - Centennial)

 Purpose:

 This report has been prepared to provide additional information to the Etobicoke Community Council as requested at the Public Meetings of June 25, 1996.

 Recommendation:

 It is recommended that the information submitted by Walker, Nott, Dragicevic Associates Limited on behalf of Shell Canada Limited be received for information in conjunction with the planning reports dated May 27, 1998, which were previously received by the Etobicoke Community Council.

 Background:

 At Public Meetings held on June 25, 1998, for the abovementioned applications, the Etobicoke Community Council deferred the matters to the meeting of July 22, 1998, in order to receive further information from Shell Canada Limited regarding hours of operation, and grading, security and fencing for the project at 320 Burnhamthorpe Road. The City Solicitor was also requested to provide a report regarding possible restrictions on hours of operation as a result of new legislation pertaining to licensing.

 Walker, Nott, Dragicevic has submitted a letter (Exhibit No. 1) on behalf of Shell Canada Limited indicating that the applicant will not restrict their hours of operation, but would prefer hours of operation to be based on business considerations like other similar retail operations. Insofar as the matters of landscaping, drainage, and screening are concerned, the applicant has indicated that these matters can and will be dealt with at the site plan approval stage. They have also indicated that security and lighting are significant design considerations for the applicant, which will also be addressed at the site plan stage.

  Conclusion:

 Staff note that the planning reports dated May 27, 1998, recommended that landscape plans, which would contain grading, fencing, security and landscaping details, be provided to the satisfaction of the Staff Advisory Committee on Development Control prior to the adoption of any zoning by-law. As the conditions of approval contained within the planning reports of May 27, 1998, would adequately deal with the identified issues, except for hours of operation, staff do not recommend any additional development conditions. Any restrictions on hours of operation should be dealt with separately in accordance with the report from the City Solicitor.
