Part Lot Control Exemption Application SL1999001
Mondeo Developments Inc., 740 Ellesmere Road
Dorset Park Community
Ward 14 - Scarborough Wexford
The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(March 12, 1999) from the Director of Community Planning, East District:
Purpose:
Mondeo Developments Inc. have begun the construction of the "Mondeo Community"
residential subdivision at the northeast quadrant of Birchmount and Ellesmere Roads. The
current phase of development consists of single-family and semi-detached dwelling units. This
application seeks approval to lift Part-lot Control for the 22 semi-detached and 85
single-family dwellings, thereby allowing the registration of easements for maintenance and
minor encroachments.
Financial Implications:
None.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that City Council:
(1)enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to Lots 1 to 107 inclusive on
Registered Plan 66M-2330;
(2)deem that the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law shall expire one (1) year from the date
of the passing of the By-law; and
(3)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 Residential Mixed Use in the Official Plan and provide for a
variety of dwelling unit types. The lands are zoned "Street Townhouse Residential" permitting
one dwelling unit per lot as shown on a Registered Plan. The proposed lotting shown on
Figure 2 conforms to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The Plan of Subdivision was
registered on February 3, 1999.
Section 50(7) of the Planning Act, 1990, authorizes Council to adopt a by-law exempting
lands within a registered plan of subdivision from part-lot control. Although the single-family
and semi-detached lots were established as individual parcels on the registered 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 dwellings.
Conclusions:
The lifting of Part Lot Control on the subject lands will facilitate the implementation of
easements which will allow the development to proceed as approved by the former
Scarborough Council.
