Origin
(May 28, 2010) Report from Richard Ubbens, Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation
Summary

The report requests that City Council deny the request to remove a privately-owned tree, located at the rear of 34 and 36 Sawley Drive. The owner of 36 Sawley would like to remove the tree to allow for construction of a fence between 34 and 36 Sawley Drive. The owner of 36 Sawley has also stated that the tree is too close to the house at 36 Sawley Drive.

 

The tree in question is a 48 cm diameter Silver maple in good condition. With proper care and maintenance, the tree should continue to provide benefits to the community for many years, and should be incorporated into any plans for the construction of a property line fence. Urban Forestry cannot support removal of this tree due to its viable condition.

Request for Inclusion on City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties – 79 Dawlish Avenue
Committee Recommendations

North York Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council include 79 Dawlish Avenue on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties.

Origin
(June 4, 2010) Member Motion from Councillor Jenkins
Summary

With its steeply-pitched roof and pointed dormers evoking French-Canadian architecture styles, 79 Dawlish has a distinctive and much-admired presence in Lawrence Park.

 

Built in 1928, it was designed and occupied by the notable architect Forsey Page who lived there until 1933. Page, with various partners, designed a number of houses in Lawrence Park, and the firm Page and Steele designed many landmark Toronto buildings including the Garden Court Apartments on Bayview, Benvenuto Place, and Commerce Court.  Page served as president of both the Ontario Association of Architects and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada.

The property is included in the Toronto Public Library Board’s Historical Walking Tour of Lawrence Park, 2007.

 

This property has cultural heritage value and contributes significantly to the character of the Lawrence Park area.  Inclusion on the City of Toronto heritage inventory would enable staff to monitor the property and be advised of any request for a demolition permit.

 

The Toronto Preservation Board at its meeting on May 28:

 

·           Endorsed the nomination of several properties in Lawrence Park, including 79 Dawlish, as candidates for designation under the Ontario Heritage Act, and

·           Requested the Acting Manager, Heritage Preservation Services to prioritize the review of 79 Dawlish Avenue.

 

The North York Community Preservation Panel (NYCPP) passed a resolution requesting designation of 79 Dawlish Avenue under the Ontario Heritage Act at its May 17 meeting.

 

Additional documentation with respect to the architectural and historical value of the 79 Dawlish property is attached, inlcuding:

 

·           a recent photograph

·           several photographs from the January 1929 article in Canadian Homes and Gardens

·           photos of several architectural drawings from the North Toronto Historical Society Archives

·           letter dated May 17, 2010 from Marta O'Brien describing the architecture of the house and giving biographical details of Forsey Page.

Final Report - Downsview Area Secondary Plan Review
Public Notice Given
Statutory - Planning Act, RSO 1990
Committee Decision

North York Community Council:

 

1.         Deferred consideration of the reports (February 17 and May 31, 2010) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District, in order to:

 

a.         allow the City Planning Division to:

 

i.          investigate the displacement of 400 units from Stanley Greene District to the Allen West District; conduct the associated studies needed to assess the effects of the increased density in the Allen West District and report on the altered FSI designations needed to accommodate this density shift;

 

ii.         investigate the implementation of a height restriction of 8 storeys in the Stanley Greene District;

 

iii.        investigate the rezoning of 7.7 hectares (19.03 acres) of parkland in the Stanley Greene District and locate this parkland in the portion currently designated as 0.5 FSI;

 

iv.        work with Build Toronto on the feasibility of increasing the high-rise residential zone FSI from 1.5 to 2.5 and the low-rise residential zone FSI from 0.5 to 0.8 in the Allen East District (Build Toronto lands), taking into consideration the transportation study conducted by Build Toronto which helps demonstrate that a new local road running parallel to Allen Road would support this increased density;

 

v.         report back on the deletion of the southern portion of the north-south Major Street in the Allen East District, south of Clanton Park Road, to the Allen Road/Wilson Heights Boulevard ramps, as depicted in Map 7-4 Proposed Street Network, taking into consideration that any modifications or reconfiguration of these ramps in relation to future development of the Downsview Secondary Plan lands would not compromise the direct connectivity between Allen Road and Wilson Heights Boulevard and that any road connection alternatives would consist of public consultation and input from area residents, the Ward Councillor and appropriate City of Toronto staff;

 

b.         allow Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff to produce a Recreation Service Plan, as part of the overall Recreation Service Plan, identifying the needs and service gaps for the Wards located within the Downsview Area Secondary Plan boundary (Wards 8, 9 and 10) and make recommendations on the service levels necessary to meet the needs of these communities.

 

2.         Requested the Director, Community Planning, North York District, to report on:

 

a.         the changes that would be required to reduce the residential density for the William Baker neighbourhood to its existing level and on how the excess density can be distributed across the study area;

 

b.         a traffic plan that moves traffic across the Plan area, but does not allow continuous traffic flow along Grandravine Drive across Keele Street in either direction;

 

c.         how the wood lot in the William Baker neighbourhood can be protected;

 

d.         on how the City of Toronto can permit heights in the William Baker neighbourhood that allows for a maximum height of 10 storeys at the Keele Street and Sheppard Avenue West intersection, and scales back to 8 and 6 storeys when moving away from the noted intersection.

Ann-Marie Nasr, Project Manager, Policy & Research, City Planning and Kyle Knoeck, Senior Planner, Community Planning, City Planning, gave a presentation to the North York Community Council on the Lawrence-Allen Revitalization Plan.

Origin
(June 3, 2010) Report from Director, Community Planning, North York District
Summary

The Lawrence Allen Revitalization Plan (LARP) is a 20-year plan for the evolution of the Lawrence-Allen area and the Lawrence Heights neighbourhood that is at its core.  It articulates a vision for the area, lays out a new physical plan and recommends short

term and long term directions for a Secondary Plan.  It suggests implementation tools to establish a comprehensive planning framework for the Lawrence-Allen Area.

 

This plan is the outcome of nearly two years of coordinated planning study by the City of Toronto, Toronto Community Housing Corporation, and Toronto District School Board.  It addresses a study area bounded by Lawrence Avenue West, Bathurst Street, Dufferin Street, and Highway 401 with particular focus on a 75 hectare area encompassing Toronto Community Housing’s Lawrence Heights neighbourhood and the lands which are interwoven with it.  The Lawrence-Allen Revitalization Plan is not attached to this report but can be accessed at www.toronto.ca/lawrenceallen.htm.

 

The plan describes a mixed-income, mixed-use neighbourhood which is park-centred, transit-supportive, and well integrated with the broader city.  Through public and private reinvestment, it provides for the replacement of all 1,208 existing social housing units along with 5,500 to 6,300 new market units.  Combined with this is a doubling of public parkland, new schools, community facilities and retail opportunities.

 

Over a multi-phase, twenty year implementation period, order of magnitude costs for the public infrastructure of the plan are estimated at about $240.605 million.

Cash-In-Lieu of Parking - North York Community Council Area
Committee Recommendations

North York Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council request the Parking Authority to provide to North York Community Council:

 

a.         detailed accounts of all cash-in-lieu in the North District since amalgamation by location; and

 

b.         an inventory, by location, of the parking spaces created in the North District with cash-in-lieu funds since amalgamation.

 

2.         City Council request the City Treasurer to prepare an audit of cash-in-lieu parking funds in the North District.

 

3.         City Council request that the information and requests outlined in Recommendation 1 and 2 above, be submitted to North York Community Council for its meeting on August 17, 2010, as an action item.

Origin
(June 3, 2010) Memo from Councillor Moscoe
Summary

There are significant amounts of money collected in the north district as cash-in-lieu of parking.  That money is supposedly to be used to create alternate parking in those locations where individual owners are unable to provide that parking.  It would appear that the City has created very little alternate parking in the north district.

 

I am asking Community Council to request an audit of cash-in-lieu parking funds.  I would like the Parking Authority to provide us detailed accounts of all cash-in-lieu in the north district since amalgamation by location and an inventory, (by location), of the parking spaces created in the north district by the Parking Authority with cash-in-lieu funds.

 

I am requesting that this information be made available at the August 10, 2010 North York Community Council meeting.

Traffic Control Signal Installation - Keele Street at Victory Drive
Committee Recommendations

North York Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council approve the installation of a traffic control signal at the intersection of Keele Street and Victory Drive.

Origin
(June 8, 2010) Report from Director, Transportation Services Division, North York District
Summary

Since the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Keele Street, City Council approval of this report is required.

 

The purpose of this report is to obtain approval for the installation of a traffic control signal at the intersection of Keele Street and Victory Drive.

 

Traffic studies reveal that a pedestrian crossover is warranted; however a safety review indicates that this location is not a suitable location for a pedestrian crossover, as a result, a traffic control signal should be installed.

Origin
(June 17, 2010) Report from Director, Community Planning, North York District
Summary

This application proposes to demolish the existing rental apartment buildings at 120 and 130 George Henry Boulevard. The buildings contain a total of 218 rental dwelling units. As part of the Parkway Forest revitalization plan the rental units will be replaced and tenants are to receive assistance with relocation.

 

This report is before Community Council in accordance with city-wide residential demolition control under Article II, Demolition Control, of Municipal Code Chapter 363, as amended by By-law 1009-2006, enacted by City Council on September 27, 2006, under authority of Section 33 of the Planning Act.

The demolition of the existing residential buildings is necessary to construct a new residential condominium apartment building on the site.

 

This report recommends approval of the applications to demolish the existing residential buildings in advance of a building permit for a replacement building, subject to conditions.

Ontario Municipal Board Hearing for 558 Woburn Avenue - Consent and Variance Applications (B0014/10NY, A0058/10NY & A0112/10NY)
Committee Recommendations

North York Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council direct the City Solicitor to arrange for an external planner to oppose the severance application for 558 Woburn Avenue and all associated variances at the Ontario Municipal Board.  

Origin
(June 22, 2010) Member Motion from Councillor Stintz
Summary

On May 26, 2010 the Committee of Adjustment heard the following files relating to 558 Woburn Avenue - B0014/10NY, A0058/10NY and A0112/10NY.  The purpose of the application is to sever 558 Woburn (a 40 foot lot) into two residential properties (20 foot lots) fronting on Woburn Avenue and construct a three-storey dwelling on each property.  North District planning staff wrote a report supporting the severance application and all requested variances.  Despite opposition from local residents the Committee of Adjustment approved the application and variances.

 

This is the first severance application for a residential property along the second block of Woburn Avenue.  Successful severance applications have been submitted for 437 & 470 Woburn Avenue but these homes are located along the first block of Woburn, just west of Avenue Road, where there are a larger number of homes on 20 foot lots.  Also, the closer proximity to an arterial road makes the severances more appropriate.  The approval of this application will make these properties the two smallest on the area.  Finally, there is a mature tree that lies in the middle of the property that will likely have to removed.

Completion of Kenaston Gardens Park
Committee Recommendations

North York Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council direct that completion of the Kenaston Gardens Park no longer requires, as a condition, an integrated art and landscape design, and that the landscaping of the park may be completed without the art component and the art may be considered as a separate component of the park.

 

2.         City Council direct the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to make all efforts to complete Kenaston Gardens Park as quickly as possible. 

Origin
(June 22, 2010) Member Motion from Councillor Shiner
Summary

The conveyance of Kenaston Gardens Park to the City of Toronto was subject to three separate Site Plan Agreements for three residential developments.  Although the park was in an unfinished state  when conveyed to the City, the conveyance was triggered on March 6, 2006 due to the condominium registration of the final building.  The City held security to ensure that the base construction is completed and holds security for a Section 37 agreement for public art on the site.  The General Manager reported to City Council in September 2006 on the steps that were being taken to have the park completed, including the public art component and Council requested the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to complete the park as quickly as possible.  At the time it was believed that the best way to address the public art and the park design through an integrated art and landscape design within the new park.

 

The park remains in an unfinished state and Staff of the Parks and Recreation division have advised that the existing agreement is an obstacle in their ability to complete the park.
