Subject:Part Lot Control Exemption Application SC-L19990005

Scarborough Bluffs Developments Ltd.

6150 Lawrence Avenue East

Blocks 121 - 123 inclusive, Registered Plan 66M-2129

Centennial Community Scarborough Highland Creek

Purpose:

Scarborough Bluffs Developments Ltd., wishes to begin construction of the development located north of Lawrence Avenue East just east of East Avenue. The development will consist of semi-detached dwellings and street townhouses. This application seeks approval to lift Part-Lot Control for the 24 semi-detached and 51 street townhouse units, thereby allowing the registration of easements for maintenance and minor encroachments.

Financial Implications:

None.

Recommendation(s):

That Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to Blocks 121 to 123 inclusive on Registered Plan 66M-2129.

That the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law shall expire one (1) year from the date of the passing of the By-law.

That Council authorize any unsubstantive, technical, stylistic or format changes to the exemption by-law as may be required to give effect to this resolution.

Background:

The subject lands are designated Medium Density Residential (RM) in the Official Plan. The lands are zoned "Street Townhouse Residential" (ST) permitting a maximum of 75 dwellings units on this site. The proposed lotting shown on Figure 2 conforms to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

Section 50(7) of the Planning Act, 1990, authorizes Council to adopt a by-law exempting lands within a required plan of subdivision from part lot control. Although the semi-detached and street townhouse lots were established on individual parcels on the required plan, in some instances parts of roof structures such as eaves and soffits from one unit will encroach upon the adjacent parcel. Easements are also necessary to allow access for maintenance purposes between adjacent buildings.

Conclusions:

The lifting of Part Lot Control on the subject lands will facilitate the implementation of easements and encroachments allowing for the development to proceed as endorsed by the former Scarborough Council.
