The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (June 4, 1999) from the Director of Community Planning, East District:

Purpose:

To extend a Part Lot Control By-law (By-law No. 519-1998) for a further twelve months.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that City Council:

(1)enact a By-law to extend the effect of By-law No. 519-1998 for another 12 months; and

(2)direct appropriate staff to introduce the necessary bill to give effect thereto.

Background:

Brookfield Homes (Port Union) Inc., is constructing semi-detached units on lands located on Freeport and Bar Harbour Square (Figure 1). The subject lots have been established through the registration of the subdivision. The Part Lot Control By-law 519-1998, allows for the severance of individual lots into separate freehold semi-detached lots and the registration of easements for maintenance and encroachment of overhangs. The necessary reference plans are approved by the District Director and registered on title.

It is in the City's interest to ensure satisfactory completion of this development and the requested one year extension is appropriate.

Conclusion:

The extension of the lifting of Part Lot Control on the subject lands will facilitate the implementation of a highly desirable development already endorsed by Council.
