REPORT No. 2

OF THE EAST YORK COMMUNITY COUNCIL

(from its meeting on February 17, 1999,

submitted by Councillor Michael Prue, Chair)

As Considered by

The Council of the City of Toronto

on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999

Subdivision Agreement: Governor's Bridge Subdivision

(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)

The East York Community Council recommends adoption of the following report (January 5, 1999) from Mr. Quinto M. Annibale, Loopstra, Nixon and McLeish:

Purpose:

This report seeks permission to enter into a subdivision agreement with the owner of the Governor's Bridge Subdivision located at Bayview Avenue, south of Nesbitt Drive.

Funding Sources:

The owner has agreed to reimburse the City for all costs associated with this application.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that the City enter into a subdivision agreement, substantially in the form set out in Appendix "A" of this report, with the owner of the Governor's Bridge Subdivision as soon as the owner has satisfied all outstanding accounts for consultant costs, all outstanding taxes and has withdrawn its appeal with respect to fees paid under protest pursuant to s. 69 of the Planning Act.

Background:

This property received planning approvals in early 1997. The plan of subdivision was the subject of an Ontario Municipal Board hearing in December, 1997. The Ontario Municipal Board approved the plan of subdivision permitting the construction of 60 single family homes. One of the conditions of approval requires the entering into of a financially secured subdivision agreement.

The owner had also appealed payment of planning fees under the former Borough of East York By-law No. 86-91. The hearing of the matter was adjourned sine die last year, on consent of both parties on the understanding that the appeal would be withdrawn once the parties were ready to finalize the agreement.

Comments:

As part of the subdivision approval process, an agreement between the municipality and the developer is entered into in order to protect municipal interests and to ensure construction of municipal services and Lots in accordance with Draft Plan approval and condition. A draft subdivision agreement for Governor's Bridge Subdivision is attached as Appendix "A" to this report.

It is appropriate at this time for the owner to settle all outstanding unpaid consultant accounts and to withdraw its appeal with respect to those fees.

Conclusions:

Council, through the recommendations of the East York Community Council should give authority for the municipality to enter into a subdivision agreement with the owner of the Governor's Bridge Subdivision.

Proposed Waste Disposal Site

(Transfer/Processing) - 25 Esandar Drive

(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)

The East York Community Council recommends adoption of the following report (January 14, 1999) from the General Manager Solid Waste Management Services:

Purpose:

This report is to the January 20, 1999 East York Community Council. It responds to an inquiry on the adequacy of the financial assurance in the amount of $6,000.00 as suggested by the proponent, Delta Disposal Systems Ltd.

Financial Implications:

N/A.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(1)the City advise the Ministry of the Environment that the City considers the financial assurance of $6,000.00, as suggested by the proponent, inadequate;

(2)the financial assurance required be increased to $60,000.00; and

(3)the City request the Ministry of the Environment to notify the City in writing of any application to amend the capacity of the facility.

Background:

The East York Community Council, at its meeting on December 8, 1998, requested that the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services submit a report to its meeting of January 20, 1999 on the adequacy of the financial assurance as suggested by the proponent in support of its Application for a Provincial Certificate of Approval, Waste Disposal Site (Transfer/Processing) at 25 Esandar Drive.

Discussion:

The financial assurance of $6,000.00 as suggested by the proponent was based on a transportation cost of $10.00 per tonne, a disposal fee of $50.00 per tonne, and a disposal fee of $50.00 per tonne.

Staff considers the foregoing costs to be inadequate.

According to the Application, the maximum rate at which the site receives waste per day is 360 cubic metres (Section 4(e) ), and the maximum temporary storage would be to a maximum of 600 cubic metres (Section 6). Therefore, the potential maximum of waste on the site at any one time would be 960 cubic metres. However, the Ministry had informed the City that it would include a clause in the Certificate of Approval limiting the volume of waste on site at any one time to 600 cubic metres. Regardless of this limiting volume, the City prefers that the potential maximum of 960 cubic metres, equivalent to about 500 tonnes, be used to calculate the financial assurance.

Staff suggest a cost of $120.00 per tonne for the disposal of any waste abandoned on site. This cost would cover the cost of administration, security, loading, haulage and final disposal. Based on the foregoing, the required financial assurance is $60,000.00.

Conclusion:

The financial assurance of $6,000.00 as suggested by the proponent is inadequate.

The East York Community Council submits the following report (February 2, 1999) from the General Manager, Solid Waste Management Services:

Purpose:

This report is to the February 17, 1999 East York Community Council. It responds to a request for details of the cost of $120.00 per tonne to dispose of waste that potentially could be abandoned at the proposed waste disposal site at 25 Esandar Drive.

Financial Implications:

N/A

Recommendation:

It is recommended that this report be received for information.

Background:

The East York Community Council at its meeting on January 20, 1999 requested that the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services submit to its February 17, 1999 meeting a report on the component costs to remove and dispose of waste that could potentially be abandoned at the proposed waste disposal site at 25 Esandar Drive.

Discussion:

The cost of $120.00 per tonne comprises of the following:

Equipment mobilization and use$15.00 per tonne

Contracted haulage$30.00 per tonne

Administration and security$10.00 per tonne

Disposal fee$65.00 per tonne

The disposal fee of $65.00 per tonne is the estimated fair market final disposal rate after the closure of the Keele Valley Landfill.

Delta Disposal System Ltd. supplied the following information with the expectation that the financial assurance of $60,000.00 would be revised.

(1)Composition of Incoming waste:

(2)Seven weighscale receipts from the Works and Emergency Services Department indicating that the density of these mixed construction waste disposed at the Keele Valley Landfill was 163 kg/m³.

(3)Seven recycling slips from Miller Waste Systems indicating that the density of these mixed wood waste disposed at the Markham Yard of Wood Waste Solution Inc. was 144 kg/m³.

Staff suggest that the City assume a relatively heavy waste density of approximately 500 kg/m³ as originally stated, since the density of mixed construction waste can vary considerably, and since the capacity in the site's Certificate of Approval is based on volume rather than tonnage, which is unusual.

It has been our staff's experience at abandoned waste disposal sites that there is no correlation between the quantity and type of waste allowed to be stored as per the Certificate of Approval and the amount actually left on site. Therefore, the financial assurance of $60,000.00 is reasonable, and a lesser amount would not adequately protect the City.

Furthermore, staff stress that if the proponent applies to the MOE to change the specific capacity from cubic metres to tonnes, the City should be advised and the financial assurance should be raised to $115,200.00.

Conclusion:

The financial assurance of $60,000.00 as originally recommended by staff is reasonable and will provide the City with adequate protection.

Appointment of Interim Replacements

to East York's Local Architectural

Conservation Advisory Committee

(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)

The East York Community Council recommends adoption of the following report (January 27, 1999) from the Director of Community Planning - East District:

Purpose:

This report, on behalf of the East York Local Architectural Conservation and Advisory Committee (LACAC), requests Council's endorsement for the appointment of three new Committee members.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the following persons be appointed to the East York Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee, at the pleasure of Council, on an interim basis, and until their successors are appointed:

Mr. Peter Carruthers;

Mr. Paul Smith; and

Ms. Susan McAlpine.

Financial Implications:

None.

Background:

East York LACAC has been operating without a full complement of members since mid-1998. Between June 1998 and November 1998, three of its members have resigned. Their replacement was delayed pending approval by the City Council of a city-wide committee structure, which is still unresolved. The vacancies are affecting LACAC's ability to carry on its normal functions.

Given that the City's Cultural Office has recently indicated that City Council will entertain replacement of members on an interim basis, LACAC requests that Council sanction the appointment of the three interim committee members listed above.

Committee of Adjustment

Minor Variance Appeals

(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)

The East York Community Council recommends that the following report (January 18, 1999) from the Director of Community Planning - East District, be received:

Purpose:

The purpose of this report is to seek direction from Council regarding appeals of the two Committee of Adjustment decisions detailed below.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that this report be received for information.

 Comments:

(1)Variance Application A.160/98EY

Doris Keppler, Kingwest Architects Inc.

Re: 34 Bennington Heights Drive

The owners of 34 Bennington Heights Drive are proposing to demolish the existing dwelling on the property, and to construct a new detached dwelling. They applied to the Committee of Adjustment for minor variances to the front yard setback, maximum building height and maximum driveway width regulations. On November 17, 1998, the Committee of Adjustment approved variances to the front yard setback and driveway width regulations, but refused the request for a variance to the building height regulation. The decision was appealed by twelve neighbours.

Staff did not take a position on this application, and do not recommend that Council direct staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing.

(2)Variance Application A.138/98EY

Mozafar Maleki

Re: 244 Sutherland Drive

The applicant is proposing to construct a parking pad in front of the dwelling, with access from Sutherland Drive. The applicant requested a variance to the zoning by-law regulation that prohibits accessory structures between the main front wall of the dwelling and the front lot line. On October 20, 1998, the Committee of Adjustment refused the application. The owner appealed the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board.

Staff did not take a position on this application, and do not recommend that Council direct staff to attend the hearing.

Pedestrian Refuge Island on Dawes Road

(Ward One, East York)

(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)

The East York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (February 3, 1999) from the Director, Transportation Services, District One:

Purpose:

To report to the East York Community Council on the feasibility and cost implications of installing pedestrian refuge islands on Dawes Road at Goodwood Park Court and at Beth Street.

Financial Implications:

The estimated cost to construct pedestrian refuge islands on Dawes Road at Goodwood Park Court and at Beth Street are $7,500.00 and $4,500.00 respectively. Funds in those amounts can be accommodated in the Transportation Services 1999 Capital Budget request.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(1)approval be given to narrow and alter specified sections of the pavement on Dawes Road, through the installation of centre median pedestrian refuge islands as follows:

1. the narrowing of Dawes Road from approximately 28.0 metres north of Goodwood Park Court to a point 38.0 metres north thereof, from a current width of 12.5 metres to a width of 11.0 metres, generally as shown in the attached Drawing No. 1, dated February 3, 1999;
2. the narrowing of Dawes Road from approximately 6.4 metres south of Beth Street to a point 11.4 metres south thereof, from a current width of 11.6 metres to a width of 10.1 metres, generally as shown in the attached Drawing No. 2, dated February 3, 1999; and

(2)the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto, including the introduction of the necessary Bill in Council.

   Background:

The former Borough of East York Council, at its meeting on October 6 and 7, 1997, requested that the Commissioner of Development Services report to the Council for the new City of Toronto on the installation of a pedestrian refuge to be located between the two bus stops on either side of Dawes Road between the driveway at 200 Dawes Road and Goodwood Park Crescent, and to consider the report of the Commissioner of Development Services dated September 16, 1997, in connection with the foregoing matter; and to also consider a letter from Ms. Sylvia Moreland, dated September 22, 1997, advocating some type of safety crossing system at the aforementioned location (Item No. 24 in Report No. 20 of the Regulatory and Development Committee).

Subsequent to this, the Transportation Services Division received a request from a resident of East York to install a pedestrian crossover at the intersection of Dawes Road and Beth Street. Since these issues are similar in nature, they are both discussed in this report.

Comments:

(1)Dawes Road at Goodwood Park Crescent

Pedestrian crossing concerns in the vicinity of Dawes Road and Goodwood Park Crescent have been the subject of in-depth study since 1994. Staff have evaluated a variety of options at the request of East York Council, including the implementation of traffic control signals and a pedestrian crossover. These options have not been viable due to the vertical alignment of Dawes Road, the proximity of other traffic control measures and the technical traffic warrants not being met.

Staff have evaluated the feasibility of constructing a pedestrian refuge island in this area, which would provide a safe zone for pedestrians crossing Dawes Road. The proposed location is approximately 28 metres north of Goodwood Park Court, immediately north of the driveway access to True Davidson Acres and adjacent to the southbound T.T.C. bus stop. The cost to construct this refuge island is estimated at $7,500.00. Drawing No. 1, attached, illustrates the proposed location of the pedestrian refuge island.

(2)Dawes Road at Beth Street

The Transportation Services Division received a request from an East York resident to install a pedestrian crossover on Dawes Road in the vicinity of Beth Street. There are T.T.C. bus stops on opposite sides of Dawes Road at Beth Street.

Staff conducted a pedestrian crossover study at this location on a typical day to evaluate the volumes of pedestrians crossing the street during peak and off-peak times. The results of our investigation revealed that a pedestrian crossover is only 11 percent warranted. However, our study also revealed that pedestrians wishing to cross Dawes Road consistently crossed one half of the street and waited in the centre of the street until the other direction of traffic was clear before completing their crossing. Staff studied the reported collisions in the vicinity of the intersection of Dawes Road and Beth Street for the period January 1, 1993, to December 31, 1997. There were no reported collisions involving a pedestrian.

Although a pedestrian crossover is not warranted at this location, staff recommend the implementation of a pedestrian refuge island to provide a safe refuge for pedestrians who regularly wait in the centre of Dawes Road for traffic to clear, as was observed in a study conducted by staff. The proposed location is approximately 6.4 metres south of Beth Street and is illustrated in Drawing No. 2, attached.

The installation of the proposed pedestrian refuge islands on Dawes Road constitute alterations to a public highway pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Act. The intent of Council to enact a By-law to authorize any physical changes resulting in the alteration of the pavement configuration must be advertised and subsequently be subject to a public hearing. The work is pre-approved in accordance with Schedule A of the Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Road Projects.

Conclusions:

Studies conducted by Works and Emergency Services staff into pedestrian crossing concerns on Dawes Road at Goodwood Park Court have revealed that neither traffic signals nor a pedestrian crossover are warranted at this location. Similarly, a pedestrian crossover is not warranted on Dawes Road at Beth Street. However, in order to provide a degree of safety for pedestrians crossing Dawes Road in the vicinity of Goodwood Park Court and in the vicinity of Beth Street, it is recommended that pedestrian refuge islands be constructed at these locations. The refuge islands will provide a safe place for pedestrians to wait for traffic to clear as they cross Dawes Road.
