WHEREAS on consideration of the concerns expressed by Urban Planning and Development Services and concerns expressed by local residents and Ward Councillors, the agent for the applicant agreed to sever the property into five parcels of land only, and as a result, the Committee found the proposed subdivision into five parcels of land (whereas parcel six be combined with parcel five and be maintained as landscaped open space) to be reasonable, where lot sizes would be in keeping with the character and development pattern in the neighbourhood; and

WHEREAS the City of Toronto Committee of Adjustment considered an application filed by Frank Zappone Limited for 2025 Davenport Road on June 15, 1999: the application called for the severance of the previously described as parcels five and six into three parcels of land; to maintain the existing semi-detached house on a reduced lot; and construct a two-storey detached house and a rear garage; and

WHEREAS the Urban Planning and Development Services, in its communications dated June 9, 1998 and June 11, 1999, to the Committee of Adjustment, expressed the following concerns: the creation of new building lots in the rear of the existing building 2035Davenport Road cannot be considered desirable or appropriate development of the lands; the proposed lot pattern will not be in keeping with the established lot pattern of the neighbourhood; and the development would have negative impacts on adjacent properties, in terms of diminishing privacy, sense of enclosure and a generally reduced level of enjoyment of rear yard amenities for abutting property owners; and
