MINOR VARIANCE APPEAL
Minor Variance Application #SA94/99
600839 Ontario Inc.
780 Ellesmere Road
Ellesmere Employment District
Scarborough Wexford
Purpose:
This report seeks direction from Council regarding the City Solicitor's role at a pending Ontario Municipal Board hearing
on a current appeal, as further detailed below.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
1.Council direct the City Solicitor not to attend any Ontario Municipal Board hearing with respect to Minor Variance
Application #SA94/99.
Comments:
Craig Swirzon on behalf of 600839 Ontario Inc., has applied to the Committee of Adjustment for the City of Toronto for a
variance from the provisions of the Dorset Park Community Zoning by-law No. 9508, as amended, to permit parking for
restaurants to be provided on the basis of 8.2 parking spaces per 100 square metres (1076 square feet) gross floor area,
whereas the Zoning By-law requires a minimum parking requirement for restaurants of 10.7 parking spaces per 100 square
metres (1076 square feet) of restaurant gross floor area.
The Committee of Adjustment's March 24, 1999 approval of the application has been appealed by Smith Lyons, on behalf
of Midas (a tenant of the subject lands), and by three Metropolitan Toronto Condominium Corporations (MTTC #'s 1171,
1191, and 1204) which together represent the first three phases of the Mondeo residential project to the north of the subject
lands.
The appeal raises no issues of significant concern to the Corporation to warrant the City's participation in a Board Hearing.
No hearing date has been scheduled.
