Draft Plan of Subdivision Application T98006

776669 Ontario Limited (Anson Investments)

Anson Avenue

Parts 5, 10 & 11 and Part of Lots 6 & 12, Registered Plan M-420

Cliffcrest Community

Scarborough Bluffs

  Purpose:

 Martin Rendl Associates on behalf of 776669 Ontario Limited (Anson Investments) has submitted an application for approval of a proposed draft plan of subdivision to create seven new single-family residential lots.

  Recommendations:

 That Scarborough Community Council convene a Public Meeting, targeted for the third quarter of 1998, to consider this application.

  Background

 The subject land is located east of Brimley Road, north of St. Clair Avenue. The parcel is vacant and undeveloped, with access on to Anson Avenue, and has an area of approximately 0.76 hectares (1.8 acres). The land is surrounded by single-family dwellings.

The plan of subdivision provides for the creation of seven single-family residential lots to be serviced by a new cul-de-sac on the south side of Anson Avenue. The proposed lots would have frontages ranging from 13.8 metres (45 feet) to 17.5 metres (57 feet) and lot areas of minimum 464 m² ( 5,000 square feet). Two remnant blocks, Block 8 and Block 9, have been set aside for future assembly of abutting lands that may result in additional lots being created.

 The land is designated Low Density Residential, providing for single-detached dwellings, semi-detached dwellings, duplexes, convertible dwellings, and street townhouses, to a maximum density of 37 units per hectare (15 units per acre).

 The land is zoned single-family residential, permitting one single-family dwelling per parcel of land with a minimum of 12 metres frontage on a public street and a minimum lot area of 464 m² (5,000 square feet).

 Comments:

 The applicant has indicated that there was a prior attempt to acquire the 15 metre (50 feet) parcel fronting on Brimley Road (see Figure 1) to provide better lot configuration. However, this attempt was not successful.

 Approval of this draft plan of subdivision will provide for the development of vacant land and the creation of new single-family lots, similar in size to the existing lots in the area. The new lots will provide additional housing stock to the City's inventory.
