(Communication dated May 13, 1998, addressed to theUrban Environment and Development Committee, from the City Clerk)

Subject:Vending Permit No. 95-123, York Mills Road

Recommendation:

The Road Allowance Sub-Committee on May 12, 1998, recommended to the Urban Environment and Development Committee that vending at this location be permitted to continue until such time as the lottery is held and that this location be deleted from the inventory of sidewalk/boulevard vending locations located on major arterial roads at that time.

Background:

The Road Allowance Sub-Committee had before it a communication (April 27, 1998) from the Councillor Joanne Flint, North York Centre South, forwarding a communication dated April 7, 1998, from Mr. Dale Clayden, Vice-Principal, York Mills Collegiate Institute, expressing concerns with respect to the vending site on the north side of York Mills Road, west of Banbury Road; and requesting that the site occupied by the holder of permit No. 95-123 be deleted from the inventory of vending sites.

The Sub-Committee also had before it a report (May 1, 1998) from the Interim Functional Lead, Transportation, advising that a recent inspection of the sidewalk and boulevard area near 490 York Mills Road reveals that Site No. 213, York Mills Road, north side, 141.10m west of Banbury Road is in an area zoned residential and directly in front of school property; that a our current policy requires that the designated area shall be located in an area zoned commercial, industrial or institutional and shall not be located closer than 30 metres from the entrance to any school ground, therefore, the site fails to meet the criteria; and recommending that sidewalk vending Site No. 213 at 490 York Mills Road, north side, 141.10m west of Banbury Road (York Mills Collegiate) be deleted from the inventory of sidewalk/boulevard vending locations located on major arterial roads.

Mr. John Sklifas appeared before the Sub-Committee in connection with the foregoing matter.

(Report dated May 1, 1998, addressed to the Road Allowance Sub-Committee, from the Interim Functional Lead, Transportation.)

Purpose:

To delete Site No. 213 from the inventory of sidewalk/boulevard vending locations located on major arterial roads (former Metro Roads).

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

No financial implications.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that sidewalk vending Site No. 213 at 490 York Mills Road, north side, 141.10m west of Banbury Road (York Mills Collegiate) be deleted from the inventory of sidewalk/boulevard vending locations located on major arterial roads.

Background:

Councillor Joanne Flint has forwarded a request from Mr. Dale Clayden, Vice-Principal, York Mills Collegiate Institute, that the vending site on the north side of York Mills Road, west of Banbury Road, in front of the collegiate be deleted from the inventory of sites.

Comments:

A recent inspection of the sidewalk and boulevard area near 490 York Mills Road reveals that Site No. 213, York Mills Road, north side, 141.10m west of Banbury Road is in an area zoned residential and directly in front of school property.

Our current policy requires that the designated area shall be located in an area zoned commercial, industrial or institutional and shall not be located closer than 30 metres from the entrance to any school ground, therefore, the site fails to meet the criteria.

Conclusion:

Since vending Site No. 213 fails to meet the current site criteria for the establishment of a sidewalk vending location, it should be deleted or relocated to meet the criteria.
