Subject: Part-Lot Control Exemption Application SC-L1999001

Mondeo Developments Inc.

740 Ellesmere Road

Lots 1 to 107 inclusive, Registered Plan 66M-2330

Dorset Park Community

Scarborough Wexford

Purpose:

Mondeo Developments Inc. is constructing the AMondeo Community@ residential subdivision at the northeast quadrant of Birchmount and Ellesmere Roads. The current phase of development consists of single-family and semi-detached dwelling units. As full development has not yet been completed, this application seeks to extend, for a further year, Council's approval to lift Part-lot Control for the 22 semi-detached and 85 single-family dwellings, thereby allowing the registration of easements for maintenance and minor encroachments.

Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

None.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

That Council enact a By-law to extend Part Lot Control Exemption By-law 154-1999 with respect to Lots 1 to 107 inclusive on Registered Plan 66M-2330, so that it shall expire on April 14, 2001.

Background:

The subject lands are designated Residential Mixed Use in the Official Plan and provide for a variety of dwelling unit types. The lands are zoned AStreet Townhouse Residential@ permitting one dwelling unit per lot as shown on a Registered Plan. The proposed lotting shown on Figure 2 conforms to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The Plan of Subdivision was registered on February 3, 1999. A first Part Lot Control Exemption was applied for in March 1999, and enabling by-law 154-1999 was Council approved April 15, 1999. The one year term of that by-law lapses on April 14, 2000. To permit completion of the development a new Part Lot Control By-law is required to be enacted.

Section 50(7) of the Planning Act, 1990, authorizes Council to adopt a by-law exempting lands within a registered plan of subdivision from part-lot control. Although the single-family and semi-detached lots were established as individual parcels on the registered plan, in some instances parts of roof structures such as eaves and soffits from one unit will encroach upon the adjacent parcel. Easements are also necessary to allow access for maintenance purposes between adjacent dwellings.

Comments:

The development has not progressed as rapidly as the applicant had originally envisioned, which results in their request for an extension of the Part Lot Control By-law covering a portion of the Mondeo lands.

Conclusions:

The extension to the expiry date of the Part Lot Control By-law 154-1999 is required to implement Council's approval of the development for this site.
