        The  following persons  addressed  North York  Community Council  in  connection with  the
        foregoing matter:

        -      Mr. Stephen  Diamond, Solicitor from  the firm of  McCarthy Tetrault,  on behalf of
               1205373 Ontario Limited, property  owners of 70 to  102 Ellerslie Avenue, who spoke
               in support of Part C.9.140 of the Official Plan, which is the  Specific Policy from
               Official Plan Amendment No. 381 regarding 88 to 102 Ellerslie Avenue.  

               During  his submission,  Mr.  Diamond  indicated  that since  the  adoption of  the
               Specific  Development Policy,  his client  has reduced  the  scale of  the proposed
               development on Ellerslie Avenue  from 66 units to 47  units and would include a 1.1
               ha public park on  the lands municipally known  as 76  Ellerslie.  He also  pointed
               out that  the  development would  be of  condominium rather  than freehold  tenure.
               Access to  the development would  be provided from Beecroft Road  and as such there
               would be no traffic impact on the community.

               Mr.  Diamond  requested that  Community Council  maintain  its previous  commitment
               given for this proposal.  In  his opinion the site is uniquely buffered to the west
               by a large parking lot,   and is located adjacent to  the City Centre  and adjacent
               to parkland to  the south.  He also pointed out that redevelopment  of the property
               will contribute a functional section of the Uptown Service Road in this location.

               Mr.  Diamond  was  also  of  the  opinion  that  the  proposed  townhouse  from  of
               development  provides for an  appropriate transition  of density  from the existing
               high density  development in the  North York Centre  to the  stable low residential
               neighbourhood  to  the  west.    It  would  also  supplement  the  public  parkland
               complement in the area.

               In concluding  he suggested  that the  Community Council  hear the concerns  of the
               ratepayers  and allow  the public  meeting on  the rezoning application  to proceed
               prior to the Ontario Municipal hearing on this issue.

        -      Mr. D. Gregory Flude, who expressed  his concerns with the current  process.  Since
               the original Specific Development Policy and  the current rezoning application  are
               scheduled to  be heard  by the Ontario  Municipal Board in  the near future,  it is
               unnecessary, in his opinion,  to   amend the  Official Plan at this point in  time.
               He  further  indicated that  the  Specific  Development  Policy was  the  result of
               extensive deliberations by the City  of North York Council in  and before 1993 when
               all parties had the  opportunity to make  their views known and to have  them fully
               canvassed.  To seek to question the action of the City  of North York council after

               such a short time period, where there has been no  material change in circumstances
               is likely to bring the whole planning process into disrepute.  
               Mr.  Flude  further indicated  that  the  Specific  Development  Policy makes  good
               planning sense  when the unique circumstances  of these  properties are considered.
               At present the Uptown  boundary is  a fence.  It make no sense to establish a fence
               as  the  boundary when  a natural  boundary has  been defined  by the  existence of
               Edward the Confessor Church which severs  the block, cutting the east side from the
               west side.  Feathering  density trough a single family residential development  doe
               snot materially change the nature  of the land use in the area while ensuring  that
               no one property bears the impact of a  sudden change in density.    In his opinion,
               removing the Specific Development Policy would destabilize the residential area.

        -      Ms. Ronda Margolese, who indicated that she supported the deletion of the  Specific
               Policy from  Official Plan Amendment No. 381 regarding 88 to 102 Ellerslie Avenue. 
               In her  opinion, the  development proposed  for those  lands would have  a negative
               impact on the surrounding community.

        -      Mr. Robert  Weeks, who  spoke in  opposition to  the development  proposed for  the
               lands on Ellerslie Avenue.  In his opinion, the proposal is not  in conformity with
               the  Uptown  Plan, is  inappropriate  and  it  would destabilize  the  area.     He
               concluded by requesting  that the boundary  in the Uptown  Plan not  be changed  in
               order to accommodate this development.

        -      Ms. Carol Gold, who  spoke in opposition to the  rezoning application for 88 to 102
               Ellerslie Avenue.   In   her opinion,  the proposal is  precedent setting and  goes
               against everything that the Downtown and Uptown Plans stand for.    While she would
               have  not objection  to  the  lands being  developed with  infill housing,  she did
               object to the proposed development.

        -      Ms. Sharolyn Vettese, on  behalf of Yonge Street Area Ratepayers Associations,  who
               spoke in opposition to  the Specific Policy in Official  Plan No. 381  regarding 88
               to 102 Ellerslie  Avenue.  In her opinion,  this Policy should  be deleted from the
               Plan because it goes  against everything that  the residents have been working  for
               in  order to maintain a stable  residential area.  Throughout the  evolution of the
               North York Centre Secondary Plan, being the Downtown  and Uptown Plans, there  have
               been two guiding principles.   One being  the protection of the stable  residential
               neighbourhood adjacent  to the redevelopment area and the other being the principle
               of  ensuring  that  redevelopment  did  not  take  place outside  the  City  Centre
               boundary.   The Specific Policy for 88 to 102 Ellerslie is an anomaly to the City s
               established practice and policy.  

               Ms. Vettese requested that the Plan be adhered prior to matter being considered  by
               the Ontario  Municipal Board.   The  Plan should  be protected  otherwise it  would
               encourage ad hoc development which in turn creates instability.

        -      Mr. Steve  Mullins,  President, Lansing  Community  Association,  who informed  the
               Community Council  that a  motion was passed  at the  general meeting  held by  the
               Lansing  Community  Association. that  the  Specific  Policy  regarding  88 to  102
               Ellerslie Avenue be removed from the Plan.   The Association also had concerns with
               the rezoning application for these lands.

        -      Ms. Amy  Profenna, who  spoke in  opposition to  the development  proposed for  the
               lands on  Ellerslie Avenue.     Her primary  objections were  respect to  increased

               traffic, the  impact on property  values and quality  of life.   She  also believed
               that a  natural buffer  zone was needed  between the high  rise development in  the
               City Centre and the existing residential area.
         
        -      Mrs. Anne Galilee, who  spoke in opposition to the  Specific Policy regarding 88 to
               102 Ellerslie  Avenue.   She  was concerned about  the precedent  setting nature of
               the development proposed for  these lands and enlarging  the boundary of the Uptown
               Plan.  

        -      Mr. John Windisman.  who spoke in opposition to the Specific Policy regarding 88 to
               102 Ellerslie Avenue.   He was  also concerned  with the  density of the  townhouse
               development proposed for these lands.

        -      Mr. Donald  Gray, who expressed concern  with the precedent  setting nature of  the
               development proposed  for the lands on Ellerslie  Avenue.  In his opinion, there is
               nothing unique about the  lands in question to  warrant deviation from the Official
               Plan.  He also believed that if the lands municipally known as 78 Ellerslie  Avenue
               are  not part of  the land  assembly, the requirement  for the ring  road cannot be
               satisfied.  

        -      Ms.  Marion Lick, on behalf  of the Willowdale Central Ratepayers  Association; who
               spoke in  opposition to  the Specific  Development Policy  for 88 to  102 Ellerslie
               Avenue.   She also explained  the importance  of preserving the  stable residential
               communities and the tress throughout the Uptown and Downtown Plan areas.

        -      Mr. William Bevelander, who spoke in opposition to the Specific Development  Policy
               for 88 to 102 Ellerslie Avenue.  He also indicated that he  objected to suggestions
               made by  the Solicitor  for the  property owner  of the lands  in question  because
               there is no mention of the  human factor.  He concluded  by stating that the stable
               residential area be maintained.

        -      Mr.  Morry Smith,  on behalf  of the Lansing  Community Association,  who indicated
               that  he would  like to  see the  City  and  staff supporting  the position  of the
               residents.   He  was  also  concerned about  the precedent  setting nature  of this
               proposal.   In concluding  he indicated  that he  supported the  protection of  the
               stable residential area.

        -      Ms. Mary Ann Cross, who spoke in opposition to the Specific Development Policy  for
               88 to 102  Ellerslie Avenue and requested  that it be deleted  from the Plan.   She
               further indicated that  she moved in this area  to raise her  family because of its
               quiet residential character.   As such, she would  be opposed to any  redevelopment
               in the area 

        -      Ms. Mary  Ann Cross  also read  a communication  from Marilyn  Bunker outlining  Ms
               Bunker s   concerns with  the Specific  Development Policy  relating to  88 to  102
               Ellerslie Avenue. 

        -      Ms. Flude, who spoke  outlined her reasons for supporting the Specific  Development
               Policy  relating to the lands on Ellerslie Avenue.

        -      Ms. Neela  Adamski, who  spoke in  opposition to  the Specific  Development Policy.
               She also  stated many  of the residents  who moved  into this area  because of  its
               stable residential  character would eventually  move elsewhere as  a result of  the
               negative impacts from redevelopment.

        -      Ms. Viva Heaton, who  spoke in opposition to  the proposed development on Ellerslie
               Avenue.  Her primary concerns were with respect to increased traffic and  precedent
               setting nature of the application.

        As directed  by the North  York Community Council  at its meeting  held on June  24, 1998,
        appropriate  notice of this public meeting  was given in accordance  with the Planning Act
        and the regulations thereunder.

        The North York Community Council had before it the following:

        (i)    report  (June  11,  1998)  from  the  Acting  Commissioner  of  Planning, providing
               recommendations with respect to the subject application; and

        (ii)   communication (September  2,  1998)  signed by  9 property  owners  on Kirby  Road,

               On motion  by Councillor  Mammoliti, North  York Humber,  the North York  Community
               Council recommended to Council that  the lands fronting on the south side of  Kirby

375.    OFFICIAL PLAN AND ZONING AMENDMENT APPLICATION UD0Z-98-02 - JOHN  WALDIE - 860  YORK MILLS
        ROAD - DON PARKWAY.
        As directed by  the North York  Community Council at  its meeting held  on April 1,  1998,
        appropriate notice  of this public meeting was  given in accordance with  the Planning Act
        and the regulations thereunder.

        The North York Community Council had before it the following:

        (i)    report (August 6, 1998)  from the Acting Commissioner of Planning, North York Civic
               Centre, providing recommendations with respect to the subject application; and

        (ii)   communication (September 1, 1998) from  Mr. Derek E. Kaye, on  behalf of the owners
               of Don Mills Car Wash, advising of their concerns with the proposed application.

        Ms. Linda Kaye, on  behalf of the owners of Don Mills Car  Wash, appeared before the North
        York  Community Council  in connection  with  the foregoing  matter and  she outlined  her
        concerns with  the application.  During her submission she indicated that gasoline station
        sites  are  known for  soil  contamination  and possible  migration  of contaminants  onto
        adjacent  sites.  Since there  is no  requirement  for an  environmental  study or  a soil
        investigation report  until the site plan  approval stage, there is  no indication whether
        the  site can be developed  for the uses  contemplated by the applicant.   She accordingly
        requested  that the  Community Council  consider  the soils  study prior  to any  rezoning
        approval  because  the ultimate development of  this site could have a  negative impact on
        adjacent lands in terms of future redevelopment.

               On motion  by Councillor Minnan-Wong, Don Parkway, the North York Community Council
               recommended  to  Council  that   the  report  (August  6,  1998)  from  the  Acting
               Commissioner of Planning, North York Civic  Centre, be adopted and  the application
               UDOZ-98-02 - John Waldie, be approved as set out in that report.

                                        (Clause 29, Report No. 9)

376.    OFFICIAL PLAN AND ZONING AMENDMENT APPLICATION UD0Z-97-11 - THE PARK AVENUES OF NORTH YORK
        -  134 TO 140 FINCH AVENUE WEST, 11  AND 15 CARNEY ROAD AND THE  REAR OF 16 TO 18 ALTAMONT
        ROAD - NORTH YORK CENTRE.

        As directed  by the North  York Community Council  at its meeting  held on June  24, 1998,
        1998, appropriate notice of this public meeting was given in accordance with  the Planning
        Act and the regulations thereunder.

        The North York Community  Council had before it a  report (June 10, 1998) from  the Acting
        Commissioner  of Planning, North York Civic Centre, providing recommendations with respect
        to the subject application.

        A  staff presentation  was made  by Randy  Jones, Planner,  City Planning  Division, North
        District.

        The following persons appeared before the North York Community Council  in connection with
        the foregoing matter:

        -      Mr. George  Belza, on  behalf  of  the property  owners of  Carney Road  and  other
               property owners in the area.   During his submission he  stated that the  residents
               generally  concur  with  the recommendations  in  the  staff report  but  had  some

               specific concerns with those recommendations dealing  with the parkland, the  gross
               floor  area, parking  and the  RM1 provisions  of Lot  Area, Street  Frontage,  Lot
               Coverage,  Floor   Area  and  Distance  between  buildings.       With  respect  to
               Recommendation 1 (d), the  residents would  like the park to  be built by the  City
               and the existing dwellings  demolished.  The park should  also be a  passive  park.
               With respect  to Recommendation  2  (c)(i) and  (ii) and  Recommendation 2(d),  the
               figures should  be corrected  to reflect  the figures  in the Draft  Zoning By-law.
               Insofar as  Recommendation 2  (h) was  concerned,  he was  of the  opinion that  it
               should be expanded  to include a statement that planning staff be  directed to meet
               with the residents  in order  to resolve these issues  during the site plan  review
               stage. Such matters as screening and drainage are  site plan issues which have  not
               been evaluated  and should also be  discussed at a community  meeting prior to  the
               enactment of the by-law.   He also requested that construction  access be off Finch
               Avenue.

        -      Ms. Elaine Berg, who expressed concern with the traffic congestion in the area.

        -      Mr. John  Hofbauer, who expressed  concern with the  boundary of  the Central Finch
               West Secondary Plan being adjusted in order to accommodate this development.

        -      Mr. William Missios, who expressed concern with the proposed development.

        -      Ms.  Nancy Singer, Planning Consultant,  on behalf of  the applicant, who commented
               on the merits of the application.  She also indicated that a number of  discussions
               have  been held  with planning  and other  city  staff in  order to  address  their
               concerns as  well as  those expressed  by the  community.   However, the  applicant
               would be willing  to meet with  the community once  again in order  to discuss  the
               issues  raised, prior  to  the  enactment of  the amending  by-law.   Screening and
               privacy are site plan  issues and would  be addressed  during the site plan  review
               stage.

        A.     Councillor Gardner, North York  Centre, moved that the report (June 10, 1998)  from
               the Acting Commissioner of Planning, North York Civic  Centre, be adopted; and that
               application UDOZ-97-11 - The Park Avenues of North York, be approved as  set out in
               the foregoing report.

        B.     Councillor Filion, North York  Centre, moved that  the report (June 10, 1998)  from
               the Acting  Commissioner of Planning,  North York Civic Centre,  be adopted subject
               to the following additional conditions and requests:

               (1)     construction access to the development being from Finch Avenue West; 

               (2)     the parkland be constructed as soon as possible; and

               (3)     the  Director, Community Planning,  North District, be  requested to review
                       the concerns expressed by Mr. G. Belza, on behalf of the community in order
                       to make the necessary  technical adjustments, prior to the enactment of the
                       by-law and to consult with  the community with respect to the design of the
                       proposed park.

        Upon the question of the adoption of the foregoing motions A. and B, it was carried.

                                        (Clause 30, Report No. 9)

        FAIRCHILD AVENUE - NORTH YORK CENTRE.

        As directed  by the North  York Community Council  at its meeting  held on July  22, 1998,
        appropriate notice of  this public meeting was  given in accordance with the  Planning Act
        and the regulations thereunder.

        The  North York  Community  Council had  before it  a report  (August  27, 1998)  from the
        Director, Community Planning,  North District, providing  recommendations with respect  to
        the subject application.

        The North York Community Council also had before it the following communications:

        (i)    (September 1, 1998) from Karl and Miriam Knavery,  advising of their opposition  to
               the application;

        (ii)   (September 8, 1998) from Mr. Glen Rowatt, in support of the application;

        (iii)  (September  9, 1998)  from Mr.  John Limeina,  advising of  his concerns  with  the
               application;

        (iv)   (undated) from L. Lehman, advising of her concerns with the application;

        (v)    (September  16, 1998)  from  Mr. William  West,  President,  Silverview Homeowners 
               Association,  outlining the  Association s concerns  with  respect to  the  traffic
               situation in the Cummer/Drewry/Yonge Street area; and

        (vi)   (undated) from Joe Martin, outlining his support for the proposal.

        A staff presentation  was made by  Karen Whitney, Planner,  City Planning Division,  North
        District.

        The following persons appeared before the North York Community Council  in connection with
        the foregoing matter:

        -      Mr. Dominic Campione, who  commented in opposition to the application.  His primary
               concerns were  with respect to increased  traffic congestion  and basement flooding
               in the area.

        -      Mr. Joseph Porco,  who outlined his concerns with  the proposal and in  particular,
               the traffic congestion on  Drewry Avenue.  In  his opinion, the  traffic congestion
               in   the  area should be   assessed and measures  should be taken  to alleviate the
               situation.

        -      Mr.  Frank Reiss, on  behalf of the applicant, who  addressed the concerns raised. 
               During his submission he  indicated that a traffic impact study has been  conducted
               by a  transportation consultant, which study  concludes that  the development would
               generate a small amount  of traffic with minimal  impact to the surrounding roadway
               network.   After  reviewing this study,  the Transportation Division has  indicated
               that  it  concurs  with this  finding.    Insofar  as  drainage  was concerned,  he
               indicated that  drainage will  be directed  in such  a manner   to  ensure that  no
               drainage problems  are created on  adjacent lands. In  addition, the new  dwellings
               would be connected  to the storm sewer  and not the sanitary  sewer as is  the case

               with many  of the  dwellings in  the area  and which  may be  causing the  flooding
               problems.
               Mr. Reiss concluded by stating that he concurred with the recommendations  outlined
               in the staff report.

        -      Mr.  Goldthorpe,  who  spoke  in  opposition  to  the  application.    His  primary
               objections were respect to drainage; increased traffic and density.   

        -      Mr.  Glen Rowatt, on  behalf of the property owner of  65 Drewry Avenue,  who spoke
               in support of the  application.  In his opinion, the proposed development  conforms
               with the Uptown Plan and it enhances the area.

               On  motion by  Councillor  Gardner, North  York Centre,  the  North  York Community
               Council recommended to Council that:

               (i)     the report (August 27,  1998) from the Director, Community  Planning, North
                       District, be adopted and that applications UDZ-97-43 and UDSB-1237 - 295151
