The Toronto Community Council also submits the following Clause 38 of Toronto Community Council Report No.
11, titled "Construction of a Layby - Eglinton Avenue East south side, between Redpath Avenue and Lillian Street
in front of 123 Eglinton Avenue East (North Toronto)":
(City Council on July 27, 28, 29 and 30, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (July 6, 1999) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 1:
Purpose:
To report on the construction of a layby on the south side of Eglinton Avenue East, in front of Premises No. 123 as
previously approved by Council in connection with a proposed development project.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
All costs associated with this proposal are to be borne by the developer (Eglinton Place Inc. - Tridel).
Recommendations:
(1)That approval be given to alter sections of the roadway on the south side of Eglinton Avenue East, from a point
approximately 28 m west of Redpath Avenue to a point approximately 33 m further west, for the construction of a layby as
described below:
"The construction of a layby on the south side of EGLINTON AVENUE EAST from a point approximately 28 m west of
Redpath Avenue to a point approximately 33 m further west, generally as shown on the attached print of Drawing
No.421F-5415, dated July, 1999;" and
(2)That the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action is necessary to implement the
foregoing, including the introduction in Council of any Bills that might be required.
Background:
City Council, at its meeting held on October 28, 29, and 30, 1998, received Clause No. 70(b) of Report No. 12 of the
Toronto Community Council, entitled Final Report - Application 197021 - Site Specific Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Amendments and Site Plan Approval to Permit the Existing Union Carbide Building to be Replaced with an 18-storey
Residential Condominium Apartment Building at 123 Eglinton Avenue East and 108 Redpath Avenue (North Toronto).
Toronto Community Council requested, among other things, that "the City take whatever action is necessary to permit a
layby access to the site from Eglinton Avenue East, including the amendment of site plan drawings which will form part of
the Statement of Approval/Undertaking to include a layby access from Eglinton Avenue East and the issuance of the
necessary permits".
The Statement of Approval/Undertaking, dated November 25, 1998, between the City of Toronto and Eglinton Place Inc.,
the owner of the above site, includes provisions for the construction of a layby at the applicant's cost as well as conveyance
to the City of a 2.18 m wide by 31.5 m long right-of-way along the south limit of Eglinton Avenue East, behind the layby,
to provide for a widening of the remaining sidewalk within the Eglinton Avenue East road allowance, so that a 4.5 m wide
sidewalk is maintained.
Comments:
Further to the direction to provide a layby in connection with the development on adjacent lands, as noted in the
above-reference Clause, a design has been developed to provide layby access on the south side of Eglinton Avenue East,
between Redpath Avenue and Lillian Street, in front of Premises No. 123 Eglinton Avenue East. The Union Carbide
building is currently undergoing demolition in preparation of the construction of the condominium building approved by
City Council.
Eglinton Avenue, in the vicinity of Premises No. 123, is a 5 lane arterial roadway with a speed limit of 50 kilometres per
hour. On the south side, standing is prohibited at anytime from Redpath Avenue to a point approximately 62 m west
thereof (a transit stop zone) and from that point to Lillian Avenue, 4 parking meter spaces are provided which operate from
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday and from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Stopping is prohibited from 7:00
a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, in conjunction with the reserved transit/taxi/bicycle
lane which operates during the same time periods in the southerly most eastbound traffic lane.
The proposed layby is shown on the attached print of Drawing No. 421F-5415 and commences at a point approximately 28
m west of Redpath Avenue to a point approximately 33 m further west. This layby will accommodate 3 passenger vehicles
and under the existing "No Standing Anytime" regulation associated with the existing TTC bus stop, will allow for
passenger pick up/drop off activities within the layby. Alternative loading facilities have been incorporated into the design
of the new building for the loading of goods and/or merchandise.
The applicant has been required to convey to the City a 2.18 m by 31 m right-of-way to be added to the remaining sidewalk
on the south side of Eglinton Avenue East to compensate for the sidewalk space to be lost by the construction of the layby.
It is noted that all costs associated with the construction of the layby and the sidewalk reconstruction/widening are to be
borne by the owner of Premises No. 123 Eglinton Avenue East.
