Subject:Maintenance of a Snow Melting System and a Fence - 12 Playter Boulevard (DonRiver)

Purpose:

To report on the homeowner's request to maintain a snow melting system and a 1.29 m high wrought iron fence surmounted on a 0.40 m high wood retaining wall, within the public right-of-way fronting 12 Playter Boulevard. As these type of encroachments do not fall within the provisions of Municipal Code Chapter 313, Streets and Sidewalks, of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code, I am required to report on this matter.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Not applicable.

Recommendation:

That City Council approve the maintenance of the snow melting system and the 1.29 m high wrought iron fence within the public right-of-way fronting 12 Playter Boulevard, subject to the property owner entering into an encroachment agreement with the City of Toronto, as prescribed under Chapter 313 of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code.

Comments:

Mr. Warren Shapell, owner of 12 Playter Boulevard, Toronto, Ontario M4K 2V9, has requested permission to maintain a snow melting system and a 1.29 m high wrought iron fence surmounted on a 0.40 m high wood retaining wall within the public right-of-way fronting 12 Playter Boulevard.

Staff have inspected the area in the immediate vicinity of this property and it was determined that the snow melting system and the fence do not impact negatively on the public right-of-way.

Details of the fence and the snow melting system are on file with this Department.

Conclusions:

As the snow melting system and fence do not impact negatively on the public right-of-way, these installations should be permitted.
