The applicant is proposing to construct a 36 room, 3-storey motel which will not contain a licenced lounge or tavern (see
Exhibit No. 2). The motel will be located on the south side of the site, with the parking lot and driveway to the north. In the
west part of the site, the natural vegetation of the Mimico Creek valley plus a 10 m (33 ft) setback from the top-of-bank
will be maintained. Along Park Lawn Road, front landscaping, boulevard street trees and pavers will be introduced. Both
side lot lines of the site will be fenced. An existing single detached dwelling and shed on the property will be demolished.
Exhibit No. 1 is a map showing the location of the property. Exhibit Nos. 2 and 3 are reductions of the site plan and
building elevations (currently under review).
SITE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS:
The motel will be located on the south side of the site to provide an adequate setback from a major sanitary sewer easement
located on the abutting property to the north. The east front facade of the motel requires greater articulation in design and
detailing to provide a better relationship to Park Lawn Road. The main public entrance into the motel should also be
incorporated into the east facade.
As there are mature trees and other vegetation on the site, a detailed tree inventory/preservation plan will be required to the
satisfaction of Urban Planning and Development Services, and Economic Development, Culture & Tourism.
The location of the motel relative to the 10 m (33 ft.) valley setback line will need to be confirmed to the satisfaction of the
TRCA. The applicant has agreed to remove the existing shed in the southwest corner of the property below the top-of-bank.
A slope stability report from the applicant indicates that the slope of the Mimico Creek valley is sufficiently stable to not be
adversely affected by the project.
SUMMARY OF AGENCY COMMENTS:
The TRCA has no objection to the application subject to submission of a storm water management report and
erosion/sediment control plans, and the setting aside of the lands below the top-of-bank for public acquisition.
The Technical Services division of Works & Emergency Services advises that watermain, storm sewer and sanitary sewers
are available on Park Lawn Road to serve the site. A storm water management report and lot grading plan are required.
Storm water quality may be addressed by on-site facilities or cash-in-lieu payment. The waste/recycling facilities may need
to be relocated away from the motel building. The Environmental Planning section of Works & Emergency Services
advises that soil/groundwater contamination studies are not required.
The Policy and Development division of Economic Development, Culture & Tourism advises that 2% cash-in-lieu of
parkland will apply. It has expressed interest in the City acquiring the lands below the top-of-bank. It requires that the
top-of-bank line be fenced as a protection measure.
Comments have not been received yet from the Transportation Services division of Works & Emergency Services. Toronto
Fire Services and Toronto Hydro have no objection to the application.
On March 30, 1999, Etobicoke Community Council considered a staff information report on the application. The
Community Council had the following comment: ........
