        The Community Council also had before it the following communication  (March 5, 1999) from
        S.A. Armstrong Limited:

        We have reviewed the proposed  change to zoning on the captioned lands  and S.A. Armstrong
        Limited has a number of concerns which do not seem to be addressed in the amendments.   It
        should be noted that S.A. Armstrong Limited is located  on the shared and opposite side of
        Ashtonbee Road.

        1.     Permitted Uses  - The  open and  unspecified commercial  uses for  the lands is  of
               great concern  to Armstrong.   Ten years  ago, Armstrong moved  from an  industrial
               area which had become eroded with commercial uses  to Scarborough for the  purposes
               of  being in  an industrial  zone.   We are  now being  asked  to  consider further
               erosion  of the current industrial zone.   The Roller Rink, and  now Bowling Lanes,
               across from our  property at Bertrand Avenue, as you know, has created problems for
               both  industrial and  residential users  alike.   Approval  on the  captioned  site
               should  be granted  only for  specific use  after full  study into  the impact  and
               appropriateness of such  use has  been conducted.   Clearly, uses  such as a  games
               arcade and service station would be inappropriate from our point of view.

        2.     Road Access  - We  are further concerned  about the road  access to the  site which
               shows ingress  and egress at two  new places on Ashtonbee  which would compete  and
               could  be  potentially  dangerous  when  combined   with  our  current  and  future
               industrial trucking use.  Ashtonbee is  already inappropriately used for  community
               college parking.    This not  only  creates  congestion but  potentially  dangerous
               ingress and egress.

        3.     Performance  Standards  - The  performance  standards  are difficult  to  interpret
               without some  clearer idea  of use.   However, the setback  provisions are  totally
               inadequate  and the open display of goods and outside storage  of goods as a retail
               use on the industrial boulevard is totally inappropriate.

        4.     Application to the Entire  Property - The amendment  is written  so as to apply  to
               the entire property  even though the  use for commercial  is to be  limited.   This

               form of mixed planning is not consistent with  the official plan and leaves the way
               open for total commercial use of the lands in the future.
        In summary,  Armstrong is concerned with  the continued industrial character  of this area
        and its appropriateness of compatible uses.  With the  scant information available on this
        proposal and its  impact, particularly  in the abutting  industrial zone, Armstrong  would
        like to make  its objections  and concerns  known.   Further, we  wish to  be advised  and
        notified  of any further processing of this application  as we intend to participate fully
        in the discussion until our issues and concerns have been aired and hopefully addressed.

                                                        

        Mr. Phillip Wong,  representing 1960  Eglinton Developments Limited,  appeared before  the
        Community Council and expressed support for the staff recommendation.
