Summary

This staff report is about a matter that the Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws.

 

The purpose of this report is to consider a request by the owner(s) of 1030 Birchmount Road, to install monitoring wells within the City of Toronto right-of-way on Ashtonbee Road and Birchmount Road. The approval process requires that the adjacent property owner, CGU Canada Services Inc. enter into an encroachment agreement with the City of Toronto in order to obtain a Utility Cut Permit, so that soil samples can be excavated and  monitoring wells be installed.  This will lead to establishing a course of action on how to mitigate any potential contamination of the Birchmount Road and Ashtonbee Road right-of-ways and any other City land.

This report responds to a concern raised by the local councillor about parking regulations in a school zone on Chester Le Boulevard.

Summary

This application proposes to rezone the lands at 96 State Crown Boulevard in order to permit a vehicle repair garage (auto body and painting), an ancillary vehicle sales operation and vehicle parking or display within the State Crown Boulevard street yard.
