Street West and Portions of 120 Heath Street West
and Nos. 56 and 58 Oriole Rod (High Park)
The Toronto Community Council recommends that the City Solicitor and the Acting Commissioner of Urban
Planning and Development Services be authorized to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing on August 5,
1999, to uphold the Committee of Adjustment decision refusing a minor zoning variance application at 120 Heath
Street West, portions of 120 Heath Street West and 56 and 58 Oriole Road.
The Toronto Community Council submits the following communication (June 12, 1999) from Councillor Adams:
Purpose:To Authorize the City Solicitor and the Chief City Planner to represent the City in upholding the Zoning
By-law at the Ontario Municipal Board in opposition to the applicant's appeal of the Committee of Adjustment Decision
refusing a minor variance application at the above noted address.
Financial Implication:Not applicable
Recommendation:That the City Solicitor and the Chief City Planner be authorized to attend the Ontario Municipal Board
hearing on August 5, 1999, to uphold the Committee of Adjustment decision refusing a minor zoning variance application
at these addresses.
Background:The applicant proposes to: sever the rear portion of the lots to create a new lot; create a right-of-way over
a portion of the property in favour of 120 Heath Street West; construct a two-storey house located at the rear of 58 Oriole
Road; and maintain three dwelling units on the lot of 120 Heath Street West, including a dwelling unit in the basement, on
a reduced lot. This application is opposed by the Urban Planning and Development Department, and the Deer Park
Ratepayers Group Inc. In its decisions, the Committee of Adjustment note that the applications represent overdevelopment,
as they do not meet the four tests of the Planning Act.
