Maintenance of Fence - Fronting 72 Ascot Avenue

- Boon Avenue Flankage (Davenport)

The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (February2, 1999) from the Manager of Right of Way Management, Transportation Services, District 1, Works and Emergency Services:

Purpose:

To report on the homeowner's request to maintain a fence within the City's right-of-way which exceeds the maximum height permitted under the former City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 313, Streets and Sidewalks. As this is a request for a variance from the by-law, it is scheduled as a deputation item.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Not applicable.

Recommendation:

That City Council approve the maintenance of a chain-link fence within the City's right-of-way fronting 72 Ascot Avenue and on the Boon Avenue flankage, subject to the owner entering into an encroachment agreement with the City of Toronto, as prescribed under Chapter 313 of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code.

Comments:

Mr. Arcanjo Chegancas, owner of 72 Ascot Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M6E 1E7, has requested permission to maintain a chain-link fence within the City's right-of-way fronting 72 Ascot Avenue and on the Boon Avenue flankage.

The fence is 1.2 metres high rather than the maximum height of 1.0 metres permitted in Chapter 313 of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code.

Staff have inspected the area in the immediate vicinity of this property and have determined that this fence does not impact negatively on the public right-of-way.

Conclusions:

As this fence does not impact negatively on the public right-of-way, the fence should be permitted to be maintained.
