Decision Advice and Other Information

The Etobicoke York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on August 17, 2010, and notice was given in accordance with the City of Toronto Act, 2006, of the proposed enactment of the draft by-law and was posted on the City's web site.

Origin
(July 14, 2010) Report from Acting Director, Transportation Services Division
Summary

The purpose of this report is to request Council’s approval to permanently “stop up and close” Indian Line, south of Matheson Boulevard East, and sections of the Eglinton Avenue West road allowance located on the north side of Eglinton Avenue West, from a point just west of the Etobicoke Creek to Orbitor Drive.

 

The east section of the City of Mississauga’s bus rapid transit (BRT) facility is proposed in an at-grade alignment on the north side of Eglinton Avenue West, extending from the Etobicoke Creek to Renforth Drive. Sections of property within this proposed alignment are occupied by segments of unimproved road allowance presently owned by the City of Toronto (the City). The City of Mississauga has requested that the City convey certain portions of public highway owned by the City to accommodate the BRT. This will require that the City of Toronto formally close these sections of public highway if they are to be conveyed to the City of Mississauga.

 

Notice advising the public of the City’s intention to close these sections of road was published according to the requirements of Chapter 162 of the City of Toronto Municipal Code and the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.

 

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) was informed of this proposal and does not object to the proposed road closings.

 

This matter is scheduled as a deputation item.

Origin
(July 14, 2010) Report from Director, Transportation Services – Etobicoke York District
Summary

The purpose of this report is to inform Etobicoke York Community Council on an application for front yard parking at 414 McRoberts Avenue.  This application is to legalize an existing unauthorized front yard parking pad and is scheduled as a deputation item.

 

The owners of 414 McRoberts Avenue submitted an application for front yard parking, but were advised that the property is not eligible for front yard parking for a number of reasons.  The property is located on the same side of the street as on-street parking permits and there is rear lane access to two on-site parking stalls.  In addition, the application does not satisfy the minimum 50% survey response rate that Chapter 918 specifies.

 

The applicant submitted an appeal requesting an exemption from the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 918 “Parking on Residential Front Yards and Boulevards” to allow front yard parking at this location.

 

Staff cannot recommend a front yard parking pad at this location since it does not meet the requirements of Chapter 918 of the Toronto Municipal Code; however, if Community Council finds merit in this proposal, it could be approved subject to the conditions described in the “Comments” section of this report.

Summary

At its meeting on February 9, 2010, the Etobicoke York Community Council approved the installation of an all-way stop control at the intersection of Burrard Road and Caulfield Road.

 

A staff report (September 16, 2009), headed “Burrard Road and Caulfield Road – All-Way Stop Control”, presented the results of an investigation for the installation of an all-way stop control at the intersection of Burrard Road and Caulfield Road.  A staff assessment has determined that the criteria for the installation of an all-way stop for this location have not been achieved.  Specifically, the minimum warrant requirements are not met at this intersection due to the low traffic volumes entering from the minor street and the good safety record.

 

Area residents have since indicated they do not want an all-way stop control at this intersection and have requested that it be removed.

“Marina Del Rey” Removal of Trees

Committee Decision

Etobicoke York Community Council:

 

1.         Requested the Director, Urban Forestry, to investigate the concerns expressed by the Condominium Corporations located at 2265, 2267 and 2269 Lake Shore Boulevard West, and report thereon to the first regular meeting of the Etobicoke York Community Council in 2011.

Origin
(August 17, 2010) Letter from Councillor Mark Grimes
Summary

A letter has been received from a consortium of Condominium Corporations, for the buildings known as Marina Del Rey in Ward 6. They are located at 2265.2267, and 2269 Lake Shore Blvd West in Ward 6. The condominium corporations have an existing agreement with the city regarding their underground garage that encroaches underneath a Municipal Park – Humber Bay Promenade. The letter requests permission to remove several trees under the 30 cm size that are in the park.

 

When the condominium was built some 25 years ago the trees in Humber Bay Promenade were planted for the immediate landscape effect ,and not the long term survival of the trees. The existing trees are touching in their canopies and beginning to encroach on each other's growing space.

 

Currently the weight of the existing trees is beyond the capacity of the garage roof and the community’s engineer’s belief that the roof is in danger of collapsing under the weight.

 

Confusion has arisen as the residents have been advised that the existing bylaws state that if publicly owned trees are planted over an area that is a overtop of the garage the private tree by-law applies, which in their opinion mean s a permit is not required to remove the smaller trees.  

 

As these are publicly owned trees that are endangering the privately owned garage, I am requesting that staff investigate this issue and prepare a report to bring back to the next Etobicoke Community Council meeting that proposes a resolution at minimal cost to the homeowners to resolve the issue of the weight of the trees .

Etobicoke York Community Council:

 

1.            Requested the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to report back to the Community Council early in 2011, on:

 

a.            the feasibility of designating a quadrant in the Lawrence Ave. and Keele Street area that includes industrial and multi residential uses as a Community improvement project area; and

Origin
(August 17, 2010) Letter from Councillor Frank Di Giorgio
Summary

There are some unique areas in the City where the existing Official Plan combines with stagnant or deteriorating site conditions to impair and hinder healthy neighbourhoods.  These areas experience great difficulty attracting private investment to stimulate renewal and enrichment of communities. A natural consequence in such areas is that developments and land uses emerge that do not satisfy proper planning procedures and regulations or do not meet environmental assessment requirements. In such cases, the remedial measures that facilitate and restore healthy neighbourhoods are essential.

Origin
(August 17, 2010) Letter from Councillor Mark Grimes
Summary

Local residents have continually raised concerns regarding trees along the shore line or at the edge of parks, particularly scrub trees, blocking the view of the lake for those walking, cycling or residing in the area.

 

For several decades the former City of Etobicoke and the current City of Toronto have attempted to maintain “windows on the lake” to allow residents the enjoyment of the lakefront from all parks and roadways adjacent to Lake Ontario in south Etobicoke.

 

This is now being disrupted by scrub trees and other plantings that are growing and disrupting the sunlight and the view of the lake. This reduces the ambience created in the community, originally intended by the windows on the lake.
