b.         redistribute development and the mix of uses over the entire subject site so that more of the development is closer to transit services and better defines and frames Steeles Avenue and Don Mills Road;

c.         reduce the maximum height of all building to no more than 6 storeys, the height of the neighbouring residential buildings to the south; and

d.         reflect a built form where the buildings fronting onto Steeles Ave. E., Don Mills Road and along the north property line have a one or two storey podium at grade and be tiered away from the perimeter of the development to minimize the impact on the lands in Toronto designated Neighbourhoods located south of Steeles Avenue East and the neighbouring residential communities to the west and north of the site.

3.         City Council advise the Town of Markham that Steeles Avenue East in this location has been identified for streetscape improvements including maximizing the landscaping opportunities on the existing median and any negotiations regarding Section 37 of the Planning Act related to this development should include consideration of the use of such funds for Steeles Avenue streetscape improvements.

4.         City Council request the Town of Markham to secure the parcel of lands located at the northwest corner of the property, “Future Building G” – phase 7, as parklands.

5.         City Council request the Town of Markham to have the storm water drainage plan amended as the Functional Servicing Report depicts approximately 65% of this entire developments storm water be discharged into the existing City of Toronto storm sewer.  The City of Toronto has identified this area as a problematic area subject to flooding.  Many homes in this area were flooded in the August, 2005 storm.  The drainage plan shall be amended to not permit storm water from those major events to travel to the south, and shall be contained on the site.

6.         City Council advise the Town of Markham that:

a.         this area is prone to flooding.  The Functional Servicing Report depicts the removal of the two existing storm service connections on Steeles Ave., and the installation of two new storm connections to the City of Toronto storm sewer.  City staff do not have the authority to approve the installations of new service connections to accommodate development outside of the limits of the City of Toronto; and

b.         as the York Durham Sewer System (YDSS), the sanitary sewer system, currently has capacity constrains and the Shops on Steeles Avenue do not have allocation for the proposed additional residential development,  the residential portion of this plan should not proceed until this site has been allocated sufficient servicing allocation from the YDSS.   No sewer installations or modifications of any kind shall be permitted within the Steeles Ave. corridor for this development.

7.         City Council request the Town of Markham to request that the applicant provide further information to the City of Toronto on:

a.         the Traffic Impact Study and addendum dated August 2009 as contained in the Technical Services letter dated November 2, 2009 and contained in Attachment No. 7 to the report (April 6, 2010) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District; and
