Subject:Part-Lot Control Exemption Application PL98007
Winburn Investments Inc.
Warden Avenue and St. Clair Avenue
Lots 36 - 43, 49 - 61 on 66M-2312
Clairlea Community
Scarborough Bluffs
Purpose:
Winburn Investments Inc. is one of two builders involved in the construction of the Warden
Woods subdivision at Warden Avenue and St. Clair Avenue. The development consists of
single-family, semi-detached and street townhouse dwellings. In order to facilitate the
conveyance of individual semi-detached dwelling units, Winburn Investments Inc. has filed an
application for Part Lot Control Exemption.
Recommendations:
1.That Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to Lots 36 to 43 and
49 to 61 on Registered Plan 66M-2312.
2.That the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law shall be repealed one (1) year from the date of
the passing of the By-law.
3.All conveyances which occur after the exemption from Part Lot Control shall be in
accordance with Reference Plan(s) approved by the Director Community Planning, East
District prior to the plan(s) being deposited in the Land Registry Office, and generally in
accordance with the lots as laid out in Registered Plan 66M-2312 as shown on Figure 1.
4.That Council authorize such unsubstantive, technical, stylistic or format changes to the
by-law as may be required to properly carry out the intent of this resolution.
Background:
The subject lands are designated Low Density Residential in the Official Plan providing for
detached, semi-detached and street townhouse dwellings.
They are zoned to permit one Two-Family dwelling per parcel having a minimum frontage of
15 m (50 ft.) on a public street and a minimum area of 495 m² (5330 sq. ft.).
The proposed lotting shown on Figure 1 conforms to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
Comments:
1.Section 50(7) of the Planning Act, 1990, authorizes Council to adopt a by-law exempting
lands within a registered plan of subdivision from part lot control. This method of land
division allows lot lines to be established after the foundations for the homes are pored
thereby avoiding a potential problem of party walls of attached dwelling units being built
which do not coincide with predetermined lot lines.
2.The approval of reference plans for the proposed lot divisions prior to their registration on
title will ensure that the deposited plans reflect Zoning By-law requirements and Council's
approval.
Conclusions:
The lifting of part lot control on the subject lands will facilitate the implementation of a
lotting scheme approved by the former Scarborough Council.
