"Further to your letter dated June 24, 1999 please be advised Bell Canada has no objection to the existing encroachment on the above noted property."

Consumers Gas

"We have indicated on the attached print our existing and/or proposed underground plant. We have no objection to the above proposal, provided our standard clearances of 0.3 m minimum vertically and 0.6 m minimum horizontally are maintained."

Hydro Commission

"As per your request dated June 24, 1999, the existing encroachment does not conflict with our existing plant. We would expect that this encroachment will be covered by the City of Toronto (York) Standard Encroachment Agreement which makes provision for our future installations.

Subject to the above, we have no objection to the encroachment."

Planning Department

"There is no objection to this application.

For information purposes, approval of this encroachment application is required to satisfy conditions of approval for an Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning application to legalize the use of the existing multiple dwelling house on this property.

Community Council on January 21, 1999 recommended approval of the Official Plan and Rezoning application and the introduction of Bills to give effect to the approval, subject to a number of conditions including that the owner receive approval to permit the encroachment of the existing dwelling house on the road allowance. City Council approved Community Council's recommendation on February 2, 1999.

Approval of this encroachment application will satisfy this condition and permit the introduction of Bills to redesignate and rezone this property to City Council."

Building Department

"The Building Department has no objection regarding the encroachment application for the above noted property."

Operations Department

"This is in reply to your memo dated June 24, 1999 regarding the encroachment application at 1202 Jane Street.

In view that the encroachment is in existence, the water and wastewater division has no objection to this application."

Right of Way Management

"I have received your circulation regarding the above application. I have reviewed the plans and have determined that this encroachment was existing prior to the dedication of the road and an encroachment agreement should have been entered into with the property owner when dedication took place.

Therefore, we have not objection to this encroachment agreement being executed."

Conclusion:

In view of the fact that there are no objections from any of the agencies and departments, that this encroachment application be approved.
