Part Lot Control Exemption Application PL98006
Meadowsweet Homes Inc., Warden Avenue and St. Clair Avenue
Clairlea Community
Ward 13 - Scarborough Bluffs
The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (August 27, 1998) from the
Director of Community Planning, East District:
Purpose:
Meadowsweet Homes 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 and street townhouse dwelling units, Meadowsweet
Homes Inc. has filed an application for Part Lot Control Exemption.
Recommendations:
It is recommended:
(1)that City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to Blocks 138-140 and Lots 1 to 10, 25 and
27 to 35 on Registered Plan 66M-2312;
(2)that the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law be repealed one (1) year from the date of the passing of the By-law;
(3)that all conveyances which occur after the exemption from Part Lot Control 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 and blocks as laid out in Registered Plan 66M-2312 as shown on Figure 1;
and
(4)that City 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.
Blocks 138 to 140 are zoned to permit one Street Townhouse dwelling per parcel having a minimum frontage of 6.5 metres
(21 feet) on a public street and a minimum area of 335 m² (3600 square feet). Lots 1 to 10, 25 and 27 to 35 are zoned to
permit one Two-Family dwelling per parcel having a minimum frontage of 15 metres (50 feet) on a public street and a
minimum area of 495 m² (5,330square feet).
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.
