Okay,

C
D

A
My
sheet
thirty-one
point:
one:
nine
heavy
truck
prohibition,
Lampton
a
b-1
declare,
confident
I
want

so

One
I'll
now
take
a
motion
to
affirm
the
minutes
from
May,
2nd
2018
moved
by
Councillor
channel
all
in
favor
opposed
Carrie.
Are
there
any
petitions
at
this
time,
seeing
none
yeah?
Just
before
we
go
through
the
items?
D
Thank
you.
That's
you're,
trying,
yes,
so
to
the
members
of
typical
York,
Community
Council.
You
will
notice
that
the
Planning
reports
on
this
agenda
and
subsequent
agendas
have
quite
a
different
look
to
them.
This
is
in
response
to
the
provincial
legislation
under
bill.
139
do
I
need
this
closer
yeah.
E
D
Move
all
D,
so
once
again,
this
is
an
excuse
me.
This
is
in
response
to
the
changes
that
the
provincial
legislation
under
bill
139.
The
recent
changes
to
the
Planning
Act.
There
was
actually
a
report
that
was
before
City
Council
was
approved
on
May
22nd
PG
29.2.
If
council
wants
to
get
a
wholesome
detail
on
that,
that
report
was
there
in
particular,
there's
an
appendix
an
attachment
at
the
back.
That
provides
a
a
communication
from
the
province
about
this
specific
change
that
were
made
to
the
Planning
Act.
D
But
in
regard
to
the
planning
reports
that
you
see
before
you
today,
they're
the
essential
change
is
is
that
the
provincial
legislation
now
requires
every
City
Council
decision
to
be
consistent
with
the
PPS
and
conform
with
the
growth
plan.
That
is
now
the
first
test
of
planning
in
the
province
of
Ontario.
D
So
what
you
will
see
in
all
of
the
staff
reports-
and
that
is
now
an
emphasis
on
those
matters,
in
addition
to
the
other
matters
that
you
typically
deal
with
so,
for
example,
just
pulling
out
one
of
the
the
reports,
a
31-point
to
the
final
report
on
the
Islington
Avenue
application.
For
example,
pages
four
and
five.
D
Refer
to
decisions
of
City
Council
having
to
be
consistent
with
the
PP
estimate
that
has
a
breakdown
about
the
PPS
policies.
If
you
turn
to
page
six
of
that
same
document,
it
talks
about
the
conformity
to
the
growth
plan
and
then
what
you
will
see
throughout
all
the
staff
reports.
This
has
been
in
this
case.
D
It's
a
recommendation
report
on
a
final,
the
staff
opinion
on
page
12
addresses
the
conformity
and
consistency
issues
and
then
there's
a
conclusion
in
the
back
of
it
on
page
20,
which
also
addresses
that
the
staff
opinion
that
is
consistent
with
the
PPS
and
doesn't
conflict
with
the
growth
plan.
So
that's
what
you
will
now
see
going
forward
in
our
final
reports
in
the,
for
example,
their
request
for
Direction
reports
like
31.7,
where
we
may
have
some
issues
with
with
an
application.
D
Again,
you
will
see
conversations
about
consistency
and
conformity
in
particular
when
we
get
there,
you
can
turn
to
a
pages
23
and
25
of
that
report
speaks
specifically
to
where
we
believe
there
are
issues
with
the
consistency
question
and
in
particular,
the
preliminary
reports
are
substantive
ly
different.
What
you
will
see,
particularly
in
reports,
31,
9,
31,
10
and
31
11-
is
we
now
have
five
recommendations.
We
previously
had
three
recommendations
about
community
consultation.
We
now
have
five
recommendations.
D
The
reason
we
know
how
five
recommendations
is
that
we
are
concerned
about
the
council
break
that
is
about
to
be
upon
us
or
the
election
and
the
ability
of
applicants
to
file
appeals
on
the
basis
of
councils,
lack
of
decision,
the
new
legislation
which,
if
you
go
to
an
appeal
process
now
it
does
not
rely
on
oral
testimony,
but
it
relies
on
the
public
record
in
front
of
City
Council.
That
is
the
main
basis.
D
This
is
a
very
substantive
change
in
the
way
we
do
our
business
and
in
fact
it
provides
more
authority
to
the
municipality,
which
is
what
the
City
of
Toronto
asked
for.
So
it's
a
it's
a
fairly
large
sea
change,
but
it's
a
good
sea
change,
but
where
we
find
yourself
right
now
is
we're
in
the
middle
of
chuckling
out
where
that
process
goes
to
and
how
it
gets
resolved.
D
So
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution,
what
you
will
now
see
in
our
what
would
formerly
recall
preliminary
reports
now
are
called
requests
for
interim
direction
and,
for
example,
if
you
turn
to
31.9
and
look
at
the
five
recommendations,
they
used
to
say
community
council
direct
staff
to
do
the
following.
They
now
say:
City
Council
direct
staff
to
do
the
following,
so
these
reports
will
not
stay
here
at
Community
Council.
They
will
go
forward
to
City
Council
in
the
event
that
there
is
an
appeal
of
councils
lack
of
decision.
D
There
will
now
be
a
formal
record
of
what
City
Council's
obtaining
of
the
application
are
even
on
an
interim
basis.
Again,
it's
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution.
Right
now
and
there's
going
to
be,
there
are
going
to
be
Appeals,
there
are
going
to
be
tested
municipal
board
under
the
new
regime
and
until
all
that
stuff,
rumbles
itself
out,
this
is
the
response.
We've
decided
is
the
most
appropriate
course
of
action.
D
So
the
preliminary
reports
that
you
are
used
to
seeing
we,
you
will
not
see
you
will
see
what
they
are
called
requests
or
interim
Direction
reports.
The
recommendations
will
say
in
their
current
format,
we
have
its
following
challenges:
direct
us
to
continue
to
work
out
those
challenges
and
then
to
undertake
the
public
consultation
as
per
the
usual
recommendations.
D
So
those
are
the
largest
changes
that
you
will
see
in
the
short
term
again,
a
lot
of
this
will
be
worked
out
during
the
council
recess
for
the
election
about
a
longer
term
solution.
But
these
are.
These
are
the
responses
that
you
will
see.
The
other
thing
that
I
will
let
Community
Council
know
is
because
of
the
changing
of
the
legislation
and
the
reporting
timelines,
and
what
the
administer
the
planing
Appeal
Tribunal
will
now
adjudicate
on.
Is
you
are
going
to
see
a
significant
increase
in
applications
on
the
next
agenda
from
this
from
Community
Planning?
D
Again
we
have
a
substantive
number
of
Appeals
that
came
in
under
the
old
regime
which
we
have
to
address
fairly
quickly.
We
also
have
a
substantive
number
of
new
applications
that
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution,
we
will
want
to
take
reports
forward
to
Council
on.
We
are
triaging
the
literally
hundreds
of
applications
that
we
need
to
address
and
you
will
see
a
rush
of
applications
on
the
next
Community
Council
agenda.
D
I
would
also
suggest
you
will
see
a
rush
of
walk
on
applications
at
the
next
two
council
meetings,
not
only
from
Etobicoke
york
planning
staff,
but
from
city
planning
staff
collectively
again
we're
trying
to
address
a
brand
new
system
we'll
take
a
couple
of
years
to
shuffle
it
out
to
get
to
a
point
where
we're
happy
with
it
we're
consistent.
We
know
what
we
need
to
do,
but
in
the
interim
this
of
the
changes
that
you
will
see.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Cami
Thank.
A
You
Neil
any
questions
see
none
so
Neil
said
next
meeting
is
going
to
be
pretty
heavy,
so
we
can
make
sure
we
do
not
have
any
night
times
mean
this
could
go
into
the
night.
So
please
don't
book
any
time
meetings
in
the
next
council
meeting,
it's
all
possible
because
we're
going
to
be
a
pretty
heavy
agenda.

One
request
for
approval
of
temporary
signage
permits
for
tuning
events
at
Franklin,
Horner
Feeny
Center
councillor
of
Christianity.
Can
you
move
that
on
my
behalf?
Please.
A
B
B
I
I
A
L
Morning,
I'm
standards,
hi
and
I'll,
be
speaking
also
on
behalf
of
my
husband,
Tobias
foolish.
We
are
both
residents
and
owners
of
the
property
one
or
two
mouths
view,
and
due
to
the
location
of
our
house
across
the
street
from
the
school
we
are
unable
to
park
on
our
side
of
the
street
and
also
there
is
limited
evening
and
weekend
part
parking
only
on
the
other
side
of
Mount
View
Avenue.
L
So
our
four
houses
have
to
park
across
across
the
corner
on
Glen
Lake,
along
with
the
residing
residents
on
Glen
Lake,
we
had
put
in
an
application
for
front
yard
parking
in
2017,
and
this
was
originally
rejected
due
to
three
reasons,
the
main
reason
being
a
large
tree
that
was
sited
on
the
property
adjacent
to
us
at
sixty
Mountain
View.
This
tree
has
subsequently
been
cut
down
by
the
city
in
February
of
this
year.
L
In
light
of
the
circumstances
and
in
the
fact
that
the
city,
the
two
issues
are
no
longer
issues
with
this,
we
would
request
that
this
appeal
be
allowed
in
an
exemption
to
soft
landscaping.
Requirements
should
be
granted.
We
anticipate
that
with
this
there's,
the
increasing
parking
demand
will
get
worse
with
the
new
developments.
That's
going
to
be
discussed
in
further
agenda.
I,
add
in
some
subsequent
to
ours.
L
On
our
street,
we
have
to
park
around
the
corner
at
that
Glen
lake,
and
there
are
ten
parking
spaces
which
four
of
them
are
taken
by
the
Mountview
side
and
then
there's.
We
also
have
to
compete
with
community
members
who
use
the
community
center,
which
is
adjacent
to
it,
as
well
as
Lithuania
Park
and
as
well
as
parents,
picking
up
their
students
from
the
Keough
public
school.
So
quite
often
when
I
return
after.

A
F

B
F
B
A
K
I
You
very
much
mr.
chair,
so
I
will
be
moving
the
alternate
recommendations
on
this.
These
owners
put
their
application
in
a
while
ago,
when
we
were
still
looking
at
the
old
process.
As
they
say,
there
was
a
tree
there,
which
would
have
therefore
meant
that
I
would
not
be
able
to
support
this
application,
but
the
city
took
the
tree
down
because
it
was
unhealthy
for
health
and
it
has
already
been
removed.
I
There
is
no
parking
on
this
side
of
a
street.
There's
a
school
on
the
other
side
of
a
street
and
I
would
say
that
if
you
have
parking
on
both
sides,
you
may
have
trouble
getting
school
bus
through,
but
I'm,
not
transportation.
So
as
I
say,
this
is
why
I
will
be
supporting
on
this
one.
The
alternate
recommendation,
because
the
city
has
removed
the
tree,
which
you
know
is
usually
one
of
my
priorities
and
not
taking
a
parking
spot
off
the
street,
which
is
another
of
my
priorities.
So
thank
you
any.
B
B
A
B
B
We
applied
for
front
yard
parking
around
the
same
time
as
our
neighbor
at
102
and
in
the
spring,
and
we
looked
at
this
residence
for
about
30
years
and
the
four
houses
at
the
north
end
of
our
street.
We
all
applied
for
front
yard
parking
around
the
same
time.
Two
of
them
were
approved,
my
neighbors
at
102
and
ourselves
were
not.
We
were
not
approved,
and
one
of
the
ones
that
had
approved
is
our
neighbor
that
we
share
a
driveway
with
we
have
a
mutual
driveway
and
we
share
it
with
them.
B
So
we
have
to
park
around
the
corner
on
Mount,
View
or
anywhere
in
the
area
where
we
can
find
suitable
parking
so
and
that's
well
with
the
park
Lithuania
Park
at
the
end
of
the
street.
It's
scheduled
for
new
developments
for
playground
and
water
play
improvements
to
be
scheduled
to
start
in
September.
B
So
we
have
sometimes
we
have
trouble
finding
a
spot
on
the
street
in
front
of
our
house
on
the
other
side
or
around
the
corner,
and
we've
had
in
certain
times
had
to
go
a
couple
of
blocks
away
to
find
parking
and
drive
around
until
we
could
find
something
and
whenever
there's
a
major
event
like
the
cherry
blossoms
in
High,
Park,
no
way
there's
Park
on
our
street.
We
can't
even
find
parking
during
the
day
on
the
weekends
anytime
there
so
anytime.
B
There's
that
or
some
events
that
close
the
lakeshore
cars
come
up
in
the
park
on
our
three.
Even
though
we
are
north
of
Bloor,
they
still
come
up
there
in
they're
parked
in
there
and
we
still
have
to
drive
around
to
find
spots
and
actually,
when
we've
been
parked
around
the
corner
in
glen
lake,
our
car
has
been
vandalized
a
couple
of
times.
B
We've
had
our
car
key
we've
had
our
driver's
side
mirror
broken
off
the
car,
and
just
last
summer
we
had
our
license
plate
stolen
off
or
a
car,
which
is
that's
not
to
say
that
that
couldn't
happen
if
we're
parked
in
our
on
on-site
parking.
But
we
think
feel
that
that
would
be
less
likely
to
happen
if
it's
on
our
own
property
than
if
it's
parked
around
the
corner
and
our
application
was
not
approved,
apparently
for
for
the
students,
soft
landscaping,
open
space,
landscaping
and
issues
with
the
city
tree.
B
We
we
are
requesting
an
exemption
and
we're
willing
to
pay
to
have
that
city
tree
removed,
as
we
one
of
the
suggestions
when
we
filed
the
appeal
and
we're
willing
to
have
that
to
pay
to
have
that
tree
removed
and
also
to
pay
to
have
a
tree
planted
elsewhere,
as
was
also
mentioned
in
the
appeal
that
we
could
do
that
as
well.
So
we
believe
if
the
tree
is
removed,
that
the
issues
regarding
the
rest
of
it
will
be
resolved
proceed
because
we
have
a
mutual
driveway.
A
D
B
B
I
B
I
I
I
will
be
supporting
the
staff
recommendation
on
this
one,
because
there
is
a
big
tree
there
if
this
tree
was
not
healthy
or
in
poor
condition.
I
am
sure
that
forestry,
like
the
neighbors,
would
have
come
and
removed
this
tree
when
they
saw
vacation
coming
through
I
do
understand.
This
is
a
busy
street
I
do
appreciate
that,
but
this
parking
pad
as
I
say,
would
would
kill
this
tree
and
I
I
can't
support
that.
So
thank
you.
B
Chairman
I
I
will
not
be
supporting
the
application
as
to
deny
the
the
parking
pad
I.
There's
a
trade-off
here
that
I
think
on
balance,
the
trade-off
should
be
to
a
lot
of
the
the
parking
pad
to
go
in
and
there
is
a
loss
of
the
tree
there,
but
there
are
many
other
trees
that
can
be
planted.
This
is
that
age-old
debate
that
we
have
about
whether
we
will
allow
the
tree
to
come
down
and
to
save
the
tree.
We
end
up
sacrificing
a
lot
of
other
amenities
that
are
necessary
in
a
particular
neighborhood.
A
A
B
A
A
F
B
N

H

G
E
A
J
H
B
K
A
None
has
moved
the
staff
recommendations
all
in
favor
pose
carried
moving
right
along.
We
decided
to
deal
with
thirty
one
to
five
before
31
four,
so
we'll
go
to
31
five
status
report,
Bloor
West,
Village,
Avenue
study.
We
have
a
number
of
speakers.
First
speaker,
oh
I'm,
sorry,
l
should
just
set
one
of
the
presentation.
First
and
staff
are
setting
up
the
laptop,
which
may
take
a
couple
minutes
so
we'll
set
that
up
and
just
take
a
break
for
a
couple
minutes.
F
F
F
A
D
D
Okay,
thank
you.
So
the
reason
that
we
did
this
Avenue
stay.
There
are
a
number
of
reasons
for
this,
but
primarily
the
City
Council
and
staff
identified
this
part
of
Bloor
West
Village
as
a
priority
Avenue
study
in
2014
and
the
study
area
goes
effectively
from
the
Humber
River
to
Kiel
streets,
2.7
kilometers
in
length
with
over
240
properties
along
that
study
area,
the
first
BIA
in
the
world
and
some
might
say
the
universe
with
over
400
members.
D
It's
extremely
well
served
by
higher
order,
transit
with
five
subway
stations,
and
the
study
area
was
slightly
revised
through
the
process
by
staff
to
more
comprehensively
evaluate
some
inconsistencies
and
do
appropriate
land-use
investigation
along
the
corridor.
So,
as
part
of
that
process,
there
were
20
properties
that
were
added
to
of
those
properties
were
in
the
swansea
area
between
runnymede
and
kennedy.
D
Both
of
those
are
narrow,
single
storey,
buildings
between
the
sites
on
the
avenue
and
a
four-story
apartment
building
and
the
other
18
were
in
the
High
Park
area,
where
that
boundary
was
revised
to
use
the
subway
corridors,
the
northern
boundary
to
the
Avenue
site
and
to
take
those
properties
up
to
what
was
the
neighborhoods.
So
those
two
adjustments
were
made.
D
You'll
hear
some
of
the
deputies
in
there
in
the
room
following
myself
talking
about
natural
Harwich
in
this
area,
and
this
was
certainly
raised
as
a
primary
concern
by
a
great
number
of
people
in
the
neighborhood,
especially
around
Hyde
Park
and
so
response
to
that
for
the
first
time
ever
as
part
of
an
Avenue
study.
The
city
commissioned
the
natural
heritage
and
the
hydrogeology
study,
as
part
of
that.
D
There
are
a
number
of
parallel
projects
that
are
also
going
on
within
the
area
you'll
hear
about
the
high
Park
apartment
neighborhood
study
today
as
well.
There's
also
a
Heritage
Conservation
District
study,
so
where
we
are
right
now
is
talking
about
the
Avenue
study.
What
will
happen
over
the
next
year
is
that
the
staff
will
continue
to
consult
with
the
public
on
all
of
this
work
as
they
develop
the
implementation
tools
and
report
back
to
community
council
in
the
first
quarter
of
2019.
D
So
the
way
we
described
and
organized
the
study
area
was
into
what
we
call
character
areas
and
there
were
five
in
total
one
of
them.
We
decided
through
the
process
to
not
have
any
recommendations,
because
we
didn't
see
any
change
happening
there.
So
what
we
have
are
is
the
rest
of
the
corridor
in
four
character
areas.
So
the
basic
framework
here
that
were
that
the
recommendations
revolve
around
our
urban
structure,
so
looking
at
Street
related
buildings,
a
walkable
environment,
place,
making
opportunities
and
emphasizing
and
creating
a
green
character.
D
This
is
an
area
of
the
city
where
you
actually
have
some
vistas,
which
so
it's
quite
important,
either
by
by
having
streets
terminate
along
Bloor,
West
or
going
east
west
along
the
topography
of
War
West.
So
new
buildings
should
emphasize
and
take
take
advantage
of
that.
We
went
through
an
exercise
of
demonstrating
and
testing
the
recommendations
that
we
had
on
various
sites
throughout
the
study
area,
and
none
of
these
are
saying
that
any
site
has
more
permission
than
another.
It's
really
just
for
testing
and
demonstrating
and
showing
what
the
results
of
that
would
be.
D
D
And
what
you'll
note
here
is
the
scale
of
the
buildings
as
part
of
the
Avenue
study
recommendations
compared
to
the
apartment
neighborhood,
which
is
in
behind,
and
the
Daniels
High
Park
development,
which
is
just
to
the
right
of
the
image
and
some
ground-level
renderings
of
some
of
the
the
ideas
and
the
character
of
what's
possible
with
redevelopment.
So
the
idea
of
the
Village
Square
something
sorely
needed
along
Bloor
West
and
then
at
around
the
running
me
live
library
that
the
scale
of
development
and
the
street
potential
streetscape
improvements
possible
in
time.
D
So
some
of
the
highlights
of
the
implementation
recommendations
coming
out
of
the
Avenue
study
updates
to
the
Official
Plan
re-designation
of
those
two
properties
in
Swansea
from
neighborhoods
to
mix
use
areas
and
the
resolving
some
zoning
and
consistencies
having
a
site
in
specific
area
policy
for
the
study
area
and
within
that
we
are
stating
to
have
the
maximum
height
and
storeys
identified
in
that
policy.
But
the
metric,
the
actual
number
or
the
height
and
meters
would
be
within
the
zoning.
And
the
reason
for
that
is
we
don't
want
to
have.
D
Applicants
have
to
go
through
an
official
plan
mm
every
time.
They
want
to
change
that
that
metric,
whether
it's
30
storeys
231,
that
that's
an
arduous
exercise
to
go
through.
We
also
identify
a
number
of
implementation
tools
that
can
be
used
for
different
items
within
the
updates.
The
swansea
secondary
plan
again
for
those
two
properties,
zoning
amendments,
recommendations
around
unit
sizes
to
support
more
complete
communities
and
have
family
size
units
updates,
with
the
mid
rise
performance
standards,
to
be
more
consistent
with
the
study
recommendations
and
then
the
ongoing
coordination
with
the
parallel
studies.
A
E
We
were
looking
at
because
we
as
part
of
this
study
so
far
we
have
a
local
Advisory
Committee.
We
are
planning
on
going
back
to
them
with
a
recommendation
and
probably
go
back
to
a
larger
community
consultation
meeting
to
there.
So
the
number
of
lack
meetings
that
probably
be
maybe
one
two
meetings
and
then
another
larger
meeting
that
hasn't
been
determined.
A
N
Right
I'm
still
want
to
talk
about
the
limits
of
the
parameters
of
this
study
when
the
city
decided
to
make
this
an
Avenue
adjacent
to
High
Park
north
of
High
Park.
Somebody
randomly
chose
that
I
heard.
This
is
what
my
understanding
I
said:
let's
put
the
tall
buildings
here
and
not
understanding
that
they
opened
up
what
is
the
jewel
of
our
city.
A
gold
rush
literally
opened
the
doors
to
we
have
more.
N
The
most
intensification
outside
of
the
center
of
the
city
here
now
and
I
feel
that
this
study
is
not
sufficient
to
ascend
this
gold
rush.
That's
a
little
bit
of
walk
aid
granted
what
the
high
Park
is
a
mg,
probably
it's.
The
biggest
Andes
area
of
natural
Scientific,
Interest
provincially
designated
in
1989,
and
it
was
downloaded
subsequently
by
Mike
Harris
and
the
province
has
been
waiting
for
a
recommendation
by
the
city
for
a
while
now
because
I've
been
talking
to
them
to
create
new
tools,
I
think
it.
N
What
is
needed
here
is
a
new
category
sensitive
area
because
of
the
watershed
of
High,
Park
and
High.
Park
is
already
showing
signs
of
decline.
In
2013
there
was
a
fish
die
off
in
the
Minister
of
Natural.
Resources
I
spoke
to
them
at
the
time.
They
said
it's
probably
these
buildings,
creating
this
hydrological
problem,
a
toilet
or
what
I
call
a
toilet
and
because,
anyway,
whatever
and
there's
other
things
as
well,
it's
those
happening
and
hi
pregnant
enough.
Orders
coming
in
window
go
pong,
but
because
of
these
developments
have
blocked
off
the
two
developments.
N
When
a
sewage
system
was
changed,
they
have
not
allowed
water
in.
These
developments
are
going
to
have
effects
on
High
Park.
The
studies
that
you
commissioned
are
kind
of
like
science
fiction,
they're
saying
continue
developing,
but
the
natural
heritage
will
be
protected.
That's
simple,
preposterous!
So
what
the
government
is
going
to
be
changing
tomorrow
and
perhaps
all
all
governments,
NDP,
liberal
conservative,
will
be
in
favor
of
I.
Think
what
is
needed
here
is
uploading.
That
was
a
mistake.
N
This
is
a
gold
mine,
we're
having
a
gold
rush
here
and
we
will
see
in
August
and
September
Menten
great-west
life
there
in
it
I
think
they're
gonna
easily
shop.
This
hurdle
that
you've
no
hurdle
that
you've
put
in
in
their
way
aside
and
they're,
going
to
build
double
density,
more
development
than
it's
just.
It's
just
so
huge.
What
is
proposed
here,
what
they
want
here,
it's
mind
boggling,
but
you
as
should
have
known
this
when
you
made
this
an
avenue
that
this
would
happen,
that
you
would
create
a
run.
N
You
know
a
gold
rush
Klondike.
This
land
is
worth
more
than
any
land
intron
that
the
developers
will
want
want
to
maximize
it.
So
I'm
saying
the
studies
not
enough,
the
primary
was
study
were
not
did
not
our
address
this
provincial
matter
and
it
needs
to
be
or
we
we
will.
The
study
will
not
much
use
anyway.
That's
that's
my
opinion
and
I've
talked
to
the
province
on
this
and
they're
they're
waiting
patiently
for
some
sort
of
response
from
the
city
government,
because
they
they
cannot
do
anything
without
your
without
direction
from
you,
because
you.
N
A
G
G
A
resident
slash
property
owner
in
the
blur
West
Village
I
have
been
in
the
village
since
1979
and
four
different
locations
regarding
business,
I
venture
to
say
that
this
is
a
gem
in
the
city
and
but
we
are
to
redefine
ourselves.
This
is
Toronto
one
of
the
things
that
I
find
that
is
very
difficult
to
deal
with
in
terms
of
councilman,
etc.
Is
that
very
often
people
do
make
decisions
about
an
area
and
have
no
idea
what
is
actually
happening?
G
For
example,
does
anybody
on
this
in
this
committee
know
what
the
tax
rate,
which
is
the
cash
cow
of
the
Bloor
West
Village?
Are
the
businesses
along
blur
Street,
which
this
study
impacts
between
Jane
and
between
Q?
What
the
taxes
on
15-foot
frontage
are
I
would
just
anybody
here.
You
know
on
the
two-story
I
know,
but
I'm
just
throwing
that
out.
G
Information,
it
runs
between
forty
three
thousand
dollars:
thirty
thousand
dollars,
if
there's
one
apartment
above
the
store,
a
two-story
15
to
17-foot
frontage.
What
is
impacting
what
is
going
to
impact?
Of
course
people
are
developing,
but
that,
as
I
said,
another
story-
and
this
is
Toronto-
this
is
not
a
suburb.
This
is
Toronto.
We
are
on
the
subway
line.
We
do
have
high
Park,
which
I,
which
is
a
gem.
G
Nobody
else
in
the
city
has
such
a
beautiful
venue
and
I
think
that
the
government
programs,
whatever
they
are,
has
to
support
the
continued
status
of
the
high
part
of
high
part.
But
my
main
concern
is
the
introduction
of
bicycle
lanes,
which
will
prevent
parking
in
front
of
the
whole
strip,
which
is
the
the
commercial
strip.
G
This
is
wonderful
and
all
three
bike
riders
that
I've
seen
coming
from
I
was
downtown
yesterday
and
in
the
evening,
all
three
bike
riders
were
not
along
that
whole
from
Yonge
Street,
all
the
way
to
the
blur
West
Village,
which
apparently
they
are
thinking
of
extending
all
three
bike.
Riders
were
not
within
the
law.
They
were
not
within
their
lines,
etc
and
in
the
meantime,
it
was
bumper-to-bumper
and
all
three
bike.
Riders
were
along
that
that
Lane.
This
is
miles
and
miles
of
city
streets.
G
If
we
continue
the
bike
lanes
into
the
Bloor
West
Village,
this
will
immediately
put
a
further
damper
on
all
the
businesses
that
are
there
along
the
street.
So
far,
the
only
businesses
that
are
robust
and
have
come
in
are
is
the
marijuana
store
doing
all
kinds
of
business
which
is
on
armadale.
The
the
the
other
stores
are
basically
becoming
dental
offices
and
dental
office.
That's
about
it
so
I'm.
G
G
There
are
shops
that
form
the
whole
Bloor
West
Village,
that
give
it
the
identity
that
is
so
unique
in
the
city,
and
my
main
concern
is
that
these
studies
are
wonderful
by
people
who
come
in
for
two
or
three
that
are
here
for
one
or
two
or
three
years
from
someone
who
has
been
here
since
1979
I
have
seen
the
deterioration
of
the
blur
West
Village
in
terms
of
businesses.
People
can
no
longer
own
them.
G
The
only
people
who
are
opening
our
Bell
verizon
freedom
because
they
can
carry
that
so
the
identity
of
the
blur
West
Village
is
disappearing
and
what
we
would
like
the
identity
to
be
is
for
it
to
be
a
neighborhood
by
adding
a
bicycle
lane
for
all
three
bicycle
riders
or
ten
bicycle
riders.
Six
months
of
the
year.
We
will
prevent
further
erosion
of
any
kind
of
business
development
in
that
area.
G
I'm,
not
saying
development,
just
status
quo,
I'm,
not
even
questioning,
raised
in
taking
those
billet
buildings
down,
but
please
consider
the
harm
what
it
did
to
Sinclair.
What
is
doing
to
other
areas.
Perhaps
other
areas
need
much
more
bicycle,
but
we
have
so
many
beautiful
streets
that
to
prevent
cars
from
parking
along
the
rivers.
G
G
The
the
debate
is
one
thing
when
you're
driving
through
it
is
horrific.
I
have
yet
to
see
one
bicyclist
even
on
those
lanes,
and
they
put
those
poles
in
in
between
along
ambassadors
in
that
area.
Well,
it's
just
it's
just
terrific
a
car
can't
even
pass
them.
There's
one
bike
rider
and
he's
in
the
wrong
he's
outside
of
his
lane.
Anyway,
absolutely.
F
G
And
that's
why
I'm
here?
If
there's
any
way
to
prevent
that,
because
it
really
will
affect
further
all
those
$43,000
a
year
a
month,
people
who
are
paying,
because
you
can't
even
rent
the
place.
We
have
more
rentals
in
that
area
than
we've
ever
had
for
rent
for
rent
for
rent
and
then
finally,
Verizon
a
Belle
comes
in.
So
is.
F
Are
you
aware
that
a
very
important
part
of
the
process
is
for
the
businesses
to
come
together
to
form
a
cohesive
group
to
make
their
thoughts
heard
about
the
bicycle
lanes
and
it
that
doesn't
always
happen
in
all
of
the
cases
of
these
files
and
I
wondered
if
you
were
aware
with
that
and
if
you
were
prepared
or
integrated
in
some
way?
Well,.
G
G
We
are
working
on
it,
everybody
who
belongs
to
the
BIA
it
as
far
as
I
know
are
protesting
it
anybody
who's
doing
business
on
that
stretch
is
protesting.
It
it's
impossible
for
you
not
to
have
a
car
park
in
front
of
your
your
place
of
business,
because
that's
what
makes
it
that's,
what
makes
it
a
very
vibrant
area
people
come
in.
G
They
come
out,
there's
parking
in
the
back,
so
there
is
sufficient
parking
even
with
public
spaces,
but
when
you
relax
that
one
that
you
want
to
jump
in,
get
get
your
cabbage
or
get
your
whatever
and
then
keep
going
and
that's
another
story,
and
that
is
what
creates
the
blur
West
Village,
it's
a
short
strip
of
land
in
the
city,
but
it's
beautiful!
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Our.
J
But
I
am
here
to
question
the
authenticity
of
the
community
consultation
process
and
the
fact
that
these
opening
amendments
to
that
for
the
designate,
a
redesign
ation
of
neighborhood
properties
and
changing
them
to
mixed-use
was
not
shared
with
the
community
during
the
consultation
process.
In
fact,
the
mr.
branch
Raymond,
who
I
think
very
highly
of
he
as
a
the
a
general
community
consultation
meeting
on
December
the
fourth,
he
said
emphatically
that
he
was
not
making
a
recommendation
for
changing
to
mixed-use.
J
So
this
was
the
area
ratepayers
strongly
opposed
the
city's
intervention
and
direction
in
the
conversion
of
these
neighborhood
properties.
We
at
the
invitation
of
the
Planning
Department
we
participated
in
a
teleconference.
We
wrote
up
in
an
alternative
proposal
that
would
keep
these
properties
as
neighborhoods
and
protect
the
swansea
secondary
plan
to
no
avail.
J
Further
consultation
with
the
lac
committee,
as
suggested
in
the
status
report,
presumes
that
we
can
move
beyond
the
lack
of
consultation
on
these
issues
and
develop
OPA
amendments
for
recommendations
on
which
the
community-at-large
was
not
consulted.
We
suggest
we
suggest
that
the
anticipated
further
Lac
committee
consultation
should
include
the
missing
discussions
of
whether
these
amendments
are
appropriate
in
the
first
place
and
alternatives
that
would
protect
the
Swansea
and
surrounding
neighborhoods,
and
this
goes
for
high
part
to
the
the
majority
of
the
designated
properties.
J
Well
know
that
there's
a
cross
that
house-
and
we
are
here-
we
have
here
a
major
concern
which
impacts
the
objectivity,
transparency
and
authenticity
of
the
Bloor
West
Village
Avenue,
study
process.
It
is
also
prejudicial
to
amend
the
neighborhood
boundaries
of
a
secondary
plan
within
a
secretary
plan
within
the
Official
Plan
with
revisions
in
an
Avenue
study
describing
them
as
minor
inconsistencies
along
the
suggested,
along
with
the
suggested
removal
of
density
designations
or
limits.
These
are
amendments
with
major
implications
for
the
swansea
secondary
plan
and
the
Bloor
West
Village
within
the
Official
Plan.
J
The
Sinclair
Avenue
study,
which
was
held
up
not
by
this
issue
but
by
another
issue
for
I.
Think
it's
still
being
held
up
on
that
issue
for
about
10
years
and
the
Argentine
Avenue
study.
Both
have
regrets-
and
we've
checked
this
out
because
of
these
attributes
of
re-designation
neighborhoods
to
mixed-use.
J
But
of
course,
is
too
late
because
they've
gone
through
it,
but
we're
ahead
of
the
game,
and
we
know
that
this
should
not
happen
and
they
have
found
out
too
late
that
the
OPA
conversions
have
ruined
their
avenues
and
the
so
big
for
us
in
the
blur.
West
Village,
the
character
and
quality
of
life
in
the
village
are
in
jab,
because
now
we
have
even
the
even
the
properties
on
the
north
side
with
the
because
it's
a
subway
don't
look
at
at
the
Humber
Odeon.
J
A
B
J
There's
it's
I,
think
it's
130,
canid,
130,
Kennedy
and
121
running
me.
What
it
is
is
that,
along
the
the
frontage
Southside-
oh,
these
are
all
the
sub-sites
onesies
on
the
north
and
south
side,
and
the
north
side
is
the
there's
a
subway,
so
they
think
they're
protected,
but
I
doubt
it,
but
these
two
properties
they're
kind
of
them.
What
you've
got
legally
non-conforming
they
were
in
1999.
They
were.
J
One
of
the
properties
was
given
permission
to
be
legal
non-conforming
so
that
it
would
have,
you
know,
have
a
part,
some
sort
of
commercial
in
it,
but
not,
but
it
was
it
insisted
that
it
be
in
the
neighborhood.
It
still
remained
a
neighbourhood
designation.
But
what
happens
is
when
you,
when
you,
when
you
extend
the
mixed-use,
you
are
extending
the
the
neighborhood
boundaries.
You
are
extending
the
angular
plane,
we're
going
up
45
degrees
and,
despite
all
your
promises
in
an
Avenue
study
that
you
will,
you
will
maximize
the
heights.
J
You
know
we
know
that's
a
fairy
tale,
so
it
when
it
cut
when
the
rubber
hits
the
road.
You
know
when
a
developer
comes
in
to
develop
and
the
the
north
side
is
not
protected
because
we
know
for
sure
and
the
current
term
the
current
development
at
the
Humber
Odeon
is
is
well.
It
says
it's
12
stories,
but
it's
42
meters
which
actually
is
14
but
anyway.
So
that's.
Why
we're
we're
very
strong
and
we,
we
actually
I,
said
in
this
teleconference
I.
J
J
Well,
the
thing
is
because
I
spotted
the
discrepancy
because
I,
actually
it
wasn't-
that
I
was
spotted
and
miss
Reid
approached
me
at
the
meeting,
because
mr.
Raymond
had
not
had
not
mentioned
it
in
his
presentation
that
he
was
going
to
do
this
next
juice.
And
she
approached
me
and
said:
oh,
you
know
he
forgot
to
mention
and
of
course
that
sends
me
of
I'm,
not
one
to
kind
of
hold
back
but
anyway,
so
I
I,
asked
the
question
of
mr.
Raymond
in
the
meeting.
J
J
J
J
A
You
seeing
no
further
questions
just
before
our
next
speaker,
I'd,
like
to
recognize
good
friend
of
this
chamber,
former
member
of
the
chamber
and
I
can
speak
to
everybody
up
here.
A
good
friend
former
city
councilor
Peter
Leon,
at
the
back
there
I'm
at
the
back,
hey
Peter.
How
are
you
at
the
mustache
going
for
Movember
already
cheat
welcome,
Peter
great,
to
see
you
back.
Okay,
our
next
speaker
is
Tania
Soni.
K
Name
is
Tenuta
Sina
I'm,
a
resident
of
17
harcroft,
Road
I
and
my
family
have
lived
there
for
34
years,
but
today,
I
think
here
before
you
as
a
representative
for
the
heart
profit
road,
Olympus,
Avenue
residents.
This
is
a
neighborhood
that
is
immediately
south
and
abutting
that
part
of
the
study
area
known
as
East
Village.
We,
the
residents
for
several
years,
formed
as
an
active
and
galvanized
force
about
development
applications
on
this
part
of
Bloor
Street
West.
Today's
comments
have
been
developed
by
a
working
group
selected
by
and
from
these
residents.
K
In
our
view
of
the
Avenue
study,
we
identified
some
40
recommendations
which
have
direct
bearing
on
our
hard
cost
Olympus
Avenue
neighborhood.
The
majority
of
these
recommendations
are
acceptable
and
some
even
warrant
a
thumbs
up.
There
are,
however,
seven
areas
that
require
attention
or
change
by
city
staff
on
your
direction
as
they
move
to
refine
and
implement.
The
consultant
study.
I
will
first
address
four
matters
where
we,
the
heart
crossroad
in
Olympus,
Avenue
residents,
find
clear
and
positive
response
and
change
by
staff
is
needed.
K
Firstly,
and
most
significantly,
the
height
at
which
the
rear
angular
plane,
extending
at
45
degrees
begins
on
the
south
side
of
Bloor.
Street
West
must
be
at
its
present
lease
at
height
of
ten
point
five
meters.
The
consultants
proposed
13.5
meters
is
not
consistent
with
the
Avenue
study
guide
principle.
Five
point:
five,
which
requires
to
minimize
impacts
on
adjacent
neighborhoods
between
the
South
Kingsway
and
concluded
Avenue.
There
are
some
50
residences
whose
side
yards
or
rear
yards
immediately
about
the
study
area.
K
On
the
so
side,
these
50
households
weren't
the
same
less
aggressive,
10.5
meters
height
for
the
angular
plane
that
is
set
to
the
north
side
of
glory
Street,
which
abuts
the
study
area
of
three
parks
and
six
public
parking,
lots
and
TTC
Bay's,
and
only
one
residence
relatedly.
The
implementation
requirement
of
the
10.5
height
must
specify
average
grade
at
Birth
Street
and
not
the
generic
imprecise
term
ground
that
the
consultant
uses.
Secondly,
the
requirement
for
storage
and
outside
handling
for
new
redevelopment
on
the
southside
of
lore
must
mandate
inside
storage
of
wastes.
K
K
Lastly,
planning
staff
need
to
consider
approaches
which
differentiate
major
intersections
from
minor
intersections,
not
all
intersections
along
Brewer
Street
are
the
same.
A
massing
consideration
or
application
for
a
minor
intersection
needs
to
be
more
respectful
of
the
residential
nature
of
the
neighborhoods
along
these
flanking
streets.
K
There
are
three
additional
areas
which
seemingly
editorial,
need
attention
and
rectification
by
staff.
Firstly,
the
recommendation
regarding
performance
standard
7,
a
while
is
specifying
sidewalk
widths
for
other
parts
of
the
study
areas
needs
to
also
specify
a
sidewalk
width
for
the
East
Village
and
it
doesn't.
Secondly,
recommendations
are
37,
38
and
39
presently
refer
variously
to
1700
square
meters
and
17
be
square
meters.
A
consistent
measure
has
to
be
set
by
staff
for
retail
ground
floor
space
and
the
third
area
requiring
attention
is
about
future
mapping
which
may
be
prepared
to
implement
the
study.
K
The
single-family
residences
at
1718
harcroft
Road
both
face
harcroft
Road,
both
are
zoned
presently
residential
and
both
have
their
northerly
lot
lines
presently
defining
the
neighborhood
of
harcroft,
Road
and
Olympus
Revenue.
The
mapping
in
the
consultant
study
creates
an
unacceptable
jog
in
the
present
symmetry
from
one
side
of
our
crossroad
to
the
other
and
is
inconsistent
with
the
guiding
principle.
5.72
respect
and
complement
appropriate
zoning
of
the
studying
area
and
its
adjacent
neighborhoods.
The
presidential
present
residential
zoning
for
17,
hard
cloth
Road
needs
to
be
maintained.
K
I'll
provide
community
council
secretary
with
a
copy
of
my
statement
and
the
recommendations
from
the
hard
crafts
and
Olympus
Avenue
residents,
but
I
close
with
one
specific
request
for
you
today,
namely
that
you
direct
that
the
harcroft
Road
and
Olympus
Avenue
residents
be
given
representation
on
the
local
Advisory
Committee,
which
is
to
work
with
and
be
consulted
by
city's
Planning
staff.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
L
A
L
It
could
be
up
to
3,000
residents
so
combined
over
the
years
we
could
be
seeing
here,
5,000,
more
residents,
which
is
a
little
city
or
perhaps
not
so
little
city
and
the
impact
combined
from
those
buildings
and
people
would
represent
very
significant
and
potentially
critically
undermining
impacts
on
this
very
unique
natural
heritage.
Those
impacts
related
to
watershed.
Those
impacts
relates
to
skyrocketing
use
of
demands
on
park.
L
So,
according
to
this
amendment,
the
land
use
decisions
chapter
for
the
Official
Plan
are
here
the
first
in
line
to
protect
natural
heritage
within
the
city,
boundaries
and
outside
of
the
city
boundaries.
Those
land-use
decisions,
the
planning
decisions,
are
what
we
are
now
talking
about.
This
is
when
we
are
planning
our
development
if
the
development
is
plan
in
adjacency
or
near
significant
natural
heritage.
That
decision
must,
according
to
provincial
policy
statement,
take
not
just
into
consideration
but
natural
heritage.
L
Protection
is
prioritized,
so
this
is
the
first
for
those
state
decisions
must
be
concerned
about.
If
we
over
develop
the
areas
adjacent
or
near
to
natural
heritage,
then
we
are
setting
ourselves
into
the
cycle
of
making
the
impacts
on
that
natural
heritage,
whether
his
watershed
or
indirect
cumulative
impacts
resulting
from
increased
skyrocketing
use.
When
the
city
and
the
city's
ultimately
and
legally
responsible
for
natural
assets
interpreter
they
are
responsible
for
managing
those
assets.
You.
K
Members
of
council,
my
name
is
Steven
Tierney
and
I'm
here,
representing
the
Bloor
West
Village
resident
Association.
In
case
of
you're
aware,
we
represent
an
area
north
side
of
Bloor,
Street,
West
End,
beginning
at
Humber
River
and
extending
to
the
east
gothic
Avenue.
So
it's
a
fairly
large
section
of
the
West
Village
all
on
the
north
side
of
Bloor
as
a
vehicle.
K
K
Your
community
call
council,
which
is
course
has
been
essential
to
getting
us
to
this
point
in
the
process.
Although
a
number
of
recommendations
in
the
avi
study
will
require
further
discussion,
refinement,
as
I
mentioned,
we
generally
agree
with
the
direction
proposed
and
look
forward
to
participating
in
the
next
phase
of
consultations.
That
summarize
and
report.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
E
Those
destroy
the
character
of
the
area,
now
I've
seen
at
least
a
couple
of
good
references
in
the
sense
that
you're
starting
to
use
Skyview
as
well
as
shadow
in
your
description,
so
that
provides
a
recognition
of
some
of
the
issues.
But
nevertheless
the
proposal
still
calls
for
the
45
degree
angle,
err
plane
to
begin
at
five
or
six
storeys,
depending
on
which
part
of
the
street
you're
talking
about.
E
It
should
begin
at
three
storeys,
so,
in
other
words,
continue
to
protect
the
character
of
the
area
as
a
place
where
you
can
walk
along,
and
it
looks
like
a
normal
Street
as
it
does
now
that
forces
the
actual
development,
if
any,
to
go,
half
a
block
away
where
you
can
port
the
taller
part
of
the
building
interior
to
the
block
and
not
on
the
Main
Street.
The
Main
Street
should
be
considered
neighborhoods
just
as
much
as
a
purely
residential
neighborhood.
E
So
just
I
just
have
the
impression
that
people
to
think
of
density
and
intensification
as
a
concept,
and
they
don't
realize
what
they're
actually
doing
when
they
change
from
three
stories
or
two
or
three
stories
to
six
to
eight
to
ten
stories.
That's
completely
a
different
Street
I
mean
once
you
go
up
to
six
stories.
E
That
was
a
mistake,
like
the
the
centers
within
the
city,
make
sense
where
you
actually
have
taller
buildings,
but
the
the
main
streets
as
a
place
for
intensification
should
just
be
ruled
out.
Those
should
not
be
the
areas
where
intensification
goes
I.
Just
don't
think
you
understand
that
these
are
not
just
numbers
like.
Oh,
let's
see
if
we
can
fit
it
in
a
few
more
people
here
and
a
few
more
people
there.
It's
that
it's
a
threshold.
The
distinction
between
three
and
six
storeys
is
more
important
than
the
distinction
between
six
storeys
and
30
storeys.
E
You
have
to
stop
development
at
the
three
storey
level
in
the
places
where
that
is
the
character
of
the
area.
There
are
plenty
of
other
places
where
you
can
put
40
storey
buildings
and
more
than
make
up
for
all
the
mid
rise
buildings
which
you
shouldn't
have
at
all.
Just
get
rid
of
the
mid
rise
category,
leave
the
three-story
main
streets
as
three-story
main
streets
and
put
tall
buildings
where
it's
appropriate
to
put
tall
buildings,
but
don't
have
mid
rise.
E
It
was
a
mistake
and
you
have
to
recognize
it
as
a
mistake,
because
it
does
destroy
the
character
of
the
main
streets
in
the
city
and
just
a
couple
of
examples.
I
was
walking
along
st.
Clair
recently,
where
they
put
in
one
of
these
oversized
buildings,
that's
laughingly
called
mid-rise
and
then
I
saw
on
the
other
side
of
the
street.
Immediately
opposite
was
a
proposal
to
put
in
another
one.
So
that's
what
you
get
like.
It
can
be
absolutely
overwhelming.
A
I
Am
from
High
Park
natural
environment
committee,
we
have
been
advising
about
hi
Park
for
25
years,
and
this
has
been
an
opportunity
for
us
to
learn
a
few
things.
One
or
two
things
are
not
possible
to
overstate.
One
is
the
natural
heritage
quality
of
High
Park,
that
is
a
globally
rare
plant
community
and
it
is,
but
it
is
unusually
biodiversity
even
for
plant
communities,
and
it
supports
a
lot
of
biodiversity
beyond
the
plant
community
and
it.
Consequently,
it
has
a
designation
of
the
ANSI
designation.
I
The
second
thing
which
it
is
not
possible
to
overstate
is
the
level
of
protection
that
the
that
provincial
policies
provide
to
natural
heritage
areas
and
features
natural
heritage
shall
be
protected
for
the
long
term.
Sweet
little
word
shall
and
order
now
development.
Insight
alteration
shall
not
occur
on
a
Nazi
lands
adjacent
to
a
Nazi.
Unless
it
can
be
shown,
there
is
no
negative
impact
from
single,
multiple
or
successive
development
activities,
the
lands
north
of
Bloor
Street
and
the
lands
in
the
character
area.
Those
lands
are
adjacent
to
the
High
Park
natural
heritage.
I
Feature
negative
impacts
are
of
two
kinds.
There
is
direct.
There
are
direct
impacts,
sort
of
destruction
that
the
building
will
bring
and
there
is
indirect.
The
direct
is
the
easy
one
to
deal
with.
If
you
have
a
chimney
with
chimney
Swifts
in
it,
then
you
go
to
the
regulations
and
you
do
what
the
regulations
say.
That
is
relatively
easy.
The
hard
part
of
the
indirect
impacts,
the
indirect
impacts
are,
is
human
disturbance
in
the
natural
heritage
feature
itself.
I
We
do
have
a
management
plan.
We
have
had
one
since
2002,
it
is
largely
restoration
and
those
efforts
have
have
been
and
will
continue
to
be
critical
in
protecting
the
natural
heritage.
There
is
a
deficiency
in
addressing
human
disturbance
within
the
natural
heritage
feature
and
a
further
one.
The
the
requirement
to
protect
lands
from
site
alteration
applies
to
city
owned
lands
in
High
Park,
which
are
not
part
of
the
natural
heritage.
So
you
have
heard
mention
that
there
is
a
recommendation
to
upgrade
the
management
plan.
I
I
would
suggest
that
this
recommendation
is
of
some
considerable
urgency,
because
until
we,
the
city
has
addressed
the
provisions
for
protecting
its
natural
heritage.
According
to
the
provincial
guideline,
which
is
the
natural
heritage
reference
manual,
currently,
it
is
not
possible
for
any
proponent
to
show.
There
is
no
negative
impact
on
the
natural
heritage.
If
no
proponent
can
show,
there
is
no
negative
impact
on
the
natural
heritage.
I
Development
alteration
shall
not
be
permitted,
and
so
I
know
that
you
will,
as
in
your
role
as
counselors,
will
because
I
think
peony
will
be
bringing
forward
a
recommendation
to
update
the
management
plan.
It
will
me
and
and
I,
and
it
will
also
need
to
be
adequately
resourced.
It
is
not
a
simple
issue
to
to
turn
how
the
city
managers
hi
Park
in
order
to
put
to
give
the
priority
or
natural
heritage
protection
that
the
planning
policies
and
guidelines
require.
I
K
I
E
What
we
have
is
just
a
status
report.
We
have
we've
the
city
retained
a
consultant.
Can
you
hear
me
back
there?
The
city's
hired,
oh
sorry
retained
a
consultant
undertake
a
study.
So
what
we
have
is
the
consultants
report
from
that
consultant's
report
staff
will
look
at
the
recommendations
in
there
and
start
developing
the
sort
of
implementation
tools,
the
Official
Plan
amendments,
the
zoning
bylaw,
the
design
guidelines.
We
are
going
to
go
back
to
the
community
in
sort
of
when
we
have
developed
those
to
a
certain
level
and
have
further
communications
with
them.
E
F
E
Consultant
report
was
to
look
to
explore
opportunities
for
bike
lanes.
It
wasn't
making
recommendations
on
it
because
at
the
time
when
we
were
doing
the
study,
there
wasn't
a
mandate
to
sort
of
put
bicycle
lanes
at
this
part
of
Bloor
Street.
So
what
they
did
has
explored
various
options
and
they
only
recommended
sort
of
a
preferred
option
at
the
time.
So
anything
going
forward
with
bicycle
lanes
would
have
to
go
through
a
fuller,
extensive
process.
So.
F
The
report
contains
a
preferred
option,
though,
and
if
I
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
if
I
read
the
recommendations,
it
advances
the
consultants
report
forward
to
have
you
developed
changes
to
the
Official
Plan
around
that.
So
if
an
appendix
of
the
report
says,
the
preferred
option
is
whatever
in
this
case
it
is
to
change
some
of
the
lanes.
Does
that
not
carry
forward
with
it?
I
I.
D
Think
what
I
think?
What
it
means
is
that
this
is
a
recommendation
by
the
consultant
to
the
city
and
staff
will
take.
That
recommendation
will
consider
it
we'll
discuss
it
with
our
cycling
infrastructure
staff
and
then
we'll
bring
forward
a
recommendation
through
community
council
to
City
Council
on
that
aspect.
Precisely
we're
making
extensive
notes
on
all
the
conversations
that
have
been
brought
up
today
about
further
consultation
with
the
community
about
the
cycling
lanes.
D
F
Any
reason
why
there
is
such
prominence
to
the
transportation
infrastructure
in
this
RIT
means
a
whole
chapter
on
its
chapter
11,
and
it's
fairly
extensive
I
think
the
consultants
report
was
like
250
pages
plus
on
on
travel
and
a
big
part
of
that
was
cycling.
How
did
how
did
we
get
to
have
that?
How
did
we
arrive
at
a
position
that
that
took
such
prominence
in
this
overall
study,
which
is
a
huge
volume
of
work,
a
huge
volume
of
work,
but
it's
a
big
piece
I
mean.
E
It's
part
of
any
study
you
look
at
what
are
the
transportation
demands
of
a
community,
what
the
existing
issues
are
and
if
you
are
proposing
intensification
are,
is
there
any
infrastructure,
that's
required
as
part
of
that
intensification,
so
you
do
need
that
background
report,
as
we
do
with
with
any
development
application.
Okay,.
F
E
That
was
the
recommendation
from
the
consultant
sort
of
saying
suggesting
we
should
look
to
the
future
on
potential
changes
and
vehicle
usership.
The
other
thing
is,
we
also
were
looking
at
when
we
are
introducing
or
the
suggestion
it
was
sorry,
and
it
was
the
comment
about
the
bicycle
lane
changes.
What
would
that
mean
from
a
traffic
perspective?
Also,
so
what
it
was
was
related
to
development
applications,
but
also
changing
the
road
systems
associated
with
the
bicycle
lanes.
Just.
F
Last
question
a:
how
far
did
the
consultation
go
and
the
reason
I
say
this
is
a
change
to
the
transportation
infrastructure,
as
mentioned
by
the
consultant,
would
have
an
impact
far
further
west.
So
there
aren't
very
many
options
to
go
east
and
west,
including
you
know,
you've
got
lakeshore
Gardiner
and
then
you've
got
bluer
because
you're
you're
impeded
by
High
Park.
So
stakeholders
in
this
would
include
people
all
points
further
away,
because
maybe
they
use
Bloor
Street
is
a
route.
F
F
D
So
I'm,
not
the
transportation
consultant,
but
I
can
speak
to
a
process
that
we
went
through
again.
There's
official
plan
policy
that
directs
us
to
look
at
this
particular
corridor.
This
is
not
the
study
identified
in
the
network
plan
to
say
future
study
yep.
It
was
just
part
of
the
Avenue
study,
the
the
option
that
we
identified
as
being
the
recommended
satisfied
the
transportation
requirements
in
the
broader
network
that
the
deputy
tent,
who
is
commenting
on
the
inclusion
of
cycling
lanes,
taking
away
from
parking.
D
F
D
D
D
I
So
I
will
be
moving.
The
staff
recommendation
and
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
staff
for
all
your
work
on
this
study.
The
Avenue
study
I
want
to
also
thank
the
residents.
One
for
coming
today
really
appreciate
it,
but
particularly
the
lack
the
working
group
has
had
what
five
six
meetings
public
meetings,
in
fact
on
page
13
of
a
report
for
anyone
who
would
like
to
see
you'll
see
how
many
meetings
we
have
had
and
how
much
contest
consultation
we
done
at
this
point.
I
What
we
have
before
us
today
is
a
status
report.
It
is
not
a
final
report.
There
will
not
be
a
final
report
for
a
while,
because
now
what
we
have
received
from
the
consultants
will
come
back
to
the
community.
I
have
heard
from
several
of
you
I've
heard
from
you
today,
where
we
have
some
tweaks
to
make
some
changes
to
make
some
input
more
input,
but
we
needed
to
have
this
status
report
and
we
needed
to
have
the
plan
in
front
of
us
of
a
proposed
plan
for
you
to
comment
on
it.
I
It
is
an
evolving
process.
It
has
been
a
long-awaited
process.
I
think.
My
first
motion
went
in
in
2012
to
do
a
study
on
Broad
Street.
A
second
motion
went
in
in
2014
to
do
a
study
on
Bloor,
Street
and
I.
Think
we
started
really
in
2016
2017,
so
I
do
want
to
thank
everyone
for
their
input
and
I
do
agree.
One
of
the
things
we
did
hear
loud
and
clear
was:
how
do
we
protect
High
Park?
I
Interestingly
enough,
an
Avenue
study
does
not
usually
include
natural
heritage.
It
doesn't
include
something
like
High
Park,
because
I
guess
we
haven't
come
across
that
before
you'll
hear
the
same
thing.
When
we
go
to
the
next
base
and
the
character
study,
it
doesn't
normally
look
at
a
park
like
Hyde
Park.
So
this
is
where
the
study
we've
done
so
far
has
actually
taken
longer
to
get
to
us
today
because
of
the
work
being
done
to
look
at
the
effects
in
High
Park,
but
that's
not
going
to
be
end
of
it.
I
I
stand
for
here,
as
this
getting
mentioned
is
getting
misleading.
You
mentioned
we
are
going
to
be
reviewing
the
high
parks,
woodland
and
savanna
management
plan,
and,
yes,
I
will
be
pushing
to
make
sure
the
funding
for
that
goes
into
I'm,
hoping
the
2019
budget
for
parks.
So
they
can
go
and
do
this
study
and
look
through
the
review.
We
can't
just
put
it
on
the
back
burner.
They
all
will
get
to
it.
I
One
day
this
study,
this
review
has
to
be
done
before
any
more
development
comes
in
along
this
section
of
blood
street
or
in
High
Park.
Our
first
speaker
also
spoke
to
the
fact
of.
Why
is
that
section,
a
blur
beihai
park
and
Avenue
I,
don't
know,
but
one
of
the
items
in
this
big
report.
This
many
many
page
report
does
recommend
removing
the
Avenue
designation
from
the
south
side
of
Bloor
Street
along
High
Park.
That's
one
of
the
many
recommendations
in
there
now.
I
We
know
that
high
Park
was
given
to
us
by
John
and
Jemima
Howard.
It
will
not
be
built
on
it
will
remain
high
park,
but
we've
also
got
to
make
sure
that
what
goes
north
of
Hyde
Park
on
the
other
side
of
Bloor
Street
is
also
taken
into
consideration,
which
is
also
why
we
have
recommendations
on
setbacks
on
making
keeping
the
buildings
further
apart
than
we
wouldn't
allow,
maybe
in
the
village
to
have
those
those
corridors,
the
fingers
I
think
they
call
them
fingers
of
green
space.
I
So
a
lot
of
thought
has
gone
into
this
I
know.
A
lot
of
comments
from
the
community
have
shaped
what
we
have
before
us
today,
but
as
I
say,
this
is
not
a
final
report.
I'm
sure
we're
definitely
I
know
we're
not
definitely
finished
and
I
asked
the
community
to
stay
with
us.
Lacs
group
stay
with
us
community
come
out
to
our
public
meetings,
continue
giving
your
input,
because
this
Avenue
study
is
going
to
be
around
a
long
time.
It
didn't
just
look
at
the
High
Park
area.
I
We
actually
asked
go
right
over
to
the
Humber
River,
but,
as
we
heard
a
section
of
that
area,
just
coming
back
towards
South
Kingsway
was
felt
to
be
okay.
The
difference
with
this
Avenue
study
is,
we
did
break
up
low
streets
into
different
sections.
It's
not
the
same
on
the
north
side
or
the
south
side,
or
in
the
East
Village,
and
the
West
Village
in
the
middle.
Each
area
has
slightly
different
designations
and
I.
Think
that
is
appropriate.
You
can't
just
say
one
size
fits
all
which
is
a
midwife
guideline.
I
So
that's
why
this
study
will
identify
what
could
be
built
in
this
neighborhood,
but
even
more
so
it's
a
study.
It
will
be
in
something
to
be
in
the
Official
Plan,
which
will
allow
our
staff
if
a
development
does
come
in
to
have
the
tools
we've
been
always
wanting
to
do
on
Bloor
Street,
to
protect
our
neighborhood
to
keep
high
part
to
keep
lower,
West
being
vibrant
and
make
sure
we
only
have
responsible
development
in
the
right
place.
So
again,
thank
you
for
coming
out
today
really
appreciate
your
support
in
your
help.
Thank.
F
F
I
see
Bloor
Street
as
an
important
access
point
for
anyone
that
lives
west
of
this
location.
You
know
I,
think
about
it.
Visit
High
Park
from
time
to
time
with
my
young
family.
Sometimes
we
take
transit.
Sometimes
we
drive
and
any
auction
that
will
change
my
ability
to
access
points
west
and
frankly,
my
constituents
that
I
represent
is
something
that
I
can't
accept,
and
for
that
reason,
I
would
like
to
exclude
any
notion
of
changing
the
lane
allocation
along
lower
street.
It's
congested
on
any
day.
F
F
I
A
A
B
Briefly,
because
I
know
that
this
is
a
matter,
that's
coming
back
and
so
I,
while
I
agree
in
principle
with
the
amendment
being
put
forward.
The
mayor
holiday
I
do
think
that
that
particular
issue
as
far
as
a
final
decision
is
concerned,
can
come
back
with
the
final
report.
It's
almost
like
I'm
asking
for
a
referral
in
the
meantime
to
plan
planning
to
to
consider
your
motion
deputy
mayor
and
bring
it
forward
with
the
the
Official
Plan
amendment
and
the
zoning
amendment
that
will
apply
to
this
particular
Avenue.
B
I
might
also
add
that
you
know
being
designated.
An
Avenue
was
actually
quite
a
quite
a
protective
aspect
of
planning,
because
essentially
what
it
does
is
allows,
after
studies
to
basically
say
here's,
what
we
believe
is
reasonable
development
as
a
right
zoning
on
a
particular
strip
of
an
Avenue.
It
isn't
Avenue.
It
is
an
area
that
must
accommodate
some
growth.
It's
a
subway
line,
let's
be
realistic
to
say
that
on
a
subway
line
we
shouldn't
have
any
more
than
three
stories
really
is
just
incomprehensible
so
going
forward
we're
in
a
big
city.
B
We
do
need
intensification
on
board
Street.
The
question
is
how
much
intensification
in
this
particular
strip
and
we
will
come
our
lease
planning
staff-
will
come
forward
with
a
report
that
identifies
what
is
reasonable.
I
might
also
add
that,
notwithstanding
whatever
official
plan
amendment
and
zoning
amendment
we
adopt
next
year,
there
is
nothing
absolutely
nothing
to
prevent
the
developer.
Actually,
they
have
to
wait
two
years
from
coming
forward
with
a
zoning
amendment,
application
that
exceeds
whatever
we
contemplate
as
as
a
bright
zone
on
that
particular
strip.
B
So
just
so,
we
understand
there
will
be
development
on
that
area.
It's
just
a
matter
of
what
constitutes
reasonable
development
and
I'm
as
I.
Also
I
might
add,
I'm
sensitive
to
the
point
brought
forward
by
deputy
mayor
Holliday
with
respect
to
cycle
lanes,
but
that
will
wait
until
the
salt
comes
back
as
sort
of
crystallized
recommendation.
Thank.

So
just
moving
this
meeting
along
here.
This
next
item
for
I
think
we
can
get
done
by
lunch,
but
I
just
want
to
counter

to
get

back
here
tonight
for
quorum.
Just
want
to
know
on

Are
you
here
Renata?
What's
that?
Is
there
any
other

J
It's
excessive
for
the
area
proposed
development.
It's
not
keeping
with
the
scale
new
developments
on
south
side
of
blow
streets
are
six
stories.
High.
Only
infrastructure
is
not
adequate
to
service
18

proposed
developments,
even
though
the
building
it's
close
to
subway
this
station
is
not
equipped
with
elevator
or
escalator
heading
talk
down
towards
the
station.
It's
also
already
overcrowded
in
medical
emergency.
We
only
have
sent
Joseph's
Hospital
in
Mississauga
Hospital
at

which
are
both
overcrowded
now
tree
stall.
On
each
link
turn
it's
too
small
and
parking
lot
is
already
fall.
J
There
will
be
many
new
townhouses
next
to
no
frills,
so
the
traffic
will
be
increasing
significantly
hobbies
at
Bloor
Street,
a
nice
ringtone,
possibly
we'll
have
underground
parkland,
which
not
everybody
may
feel
comfortable
with
lost
of
privacy,
noise,
disturbance,
possibly
more
ambulances,
fire
trucks
will
transit
beer
and
other
deliveries.
More
visitors,
I
think
the
heights
are
forcing
your
home,
it's
excessive
in
case
of
emergency.
It
will
be
difficult
to
safely
evacuate
the
elderly
residents
and
those
requiring
special
assistance,
insufficient
parking
to
accommodate
the
beer
store,
customers,
office,
workers,
senior
support,
team
residents
and
visitors.
J
Public
parking
not
available
in
the
area

to
accommodate
all
the
activities
which
will
create

problem
and
safety
issues
field

street
is
road
to
nowhere.
There
are
already
two
condos
there,
and
many
townhouses
are
being
finished
and
green
lanes.
It's
the
only
intersection
with
lights.
The
toy
Street
behind
the
building
half
way
will
create
confusion,
plus
all
the
traffic
will
be
only
on
green
lane.
Once
the
TTC
parking
lot
will
disappear.
Additional
traffic
on
Bloor
Street,
because
people
will
be
commuting
in
their
cars
to
downtown.
J
This
will
create
issues
to
turn

or
right
cars
going
straight.
Usually

So
with
so
much
development
of

on
down
from
keeping
all
the
way
to
East.
Mall
traffic
will
increase
a
lot.
Approval
would
create
a
precedent,
meaning
that
would
be
difficult
to
object.
A
similar
proposal
I
am
hoping
that
not
only
wishes
of
developer,
but
also
concern
of
the
residents
will
be
taking
into
consideration
when
making
this
decision.
Thank.

Yes,
the
local
counts
like
a
short
presentation
and
if
we
can
make
it
short,
so
we
can
get
this
off
by
lunch.
There's
been
very
patient
here,
so
a
couple
minutes
to
okay.
So
while
we're
setting

Mr.
I
A
K
A
A
A
M
Morning,
members
of
Community
Council,
my
name
is
Elizabeth
Silva,
Stewart
and
I'm,
a
planner
with
the
City
of
Toronto
and
I'm.
Here
today
with
my
colleague,
Alison
Reid
was
a
senior
urban
designer
to
present
the
final
report
on
the
High
Park
apartment
neighbourhoods,
area,
character,
study
and
the
draft
official
plan.
Amendments
419
and
sass
551
as
part
of
the
statutory
public
meeting
required
under
the
Planning
Act.
M
The
study
area
is
generally
bound
by
line
to
lure
subway
at
the
South
Glen
Lake
Avenue,
to
the
north
Mount
View
Avenue
to
the
east
and
gothic
Avenue
to
the
west.
It
does
not
include
properties
fronting
on
Tobler
Street,
as
these
properties
were
incorporated
into
the
Bloor
West
Avenue
West
Village
Avenue
study.
The
study
area
is
approximately
nineteen
point,
six
hectares
in
area
and
is
home
to
8500
people.
M
There
are
21
properties
within
the
study
area,
one
of
which
is
a
park
at
and
another
one
is
a
future
park
at
21,
High
Park
and
this
this
particular
property
is
the
subject
of
one
of
the
amendments
in
the
Official
Plan
amendment
before
you
today.
This
area
is
well
served
by
transit.
There's
the
bus
running
along
High
Park
Avenue,
the
High
Park
subway
station
is
at
the
base
of
the
study
area
and
within
close
proximity,
there's
Keele
Street
subway
station.
M
C
So,
as
mentioned
in
the
blur
West
Village
Avenue
study,
you
heard
about
the
natural
heritage,
impact
study
and
water
studies
that
were
completed.
So
this
study
we
built
upon
those
findings,
and
we
conducted
an
addendum
study
to
address
the
natural
heritage
impacts,
in
particular,
on
the
lands
identified
as
provincial
area
of
natural
and
scientific
interest.
Environmentally
sensitive
areas
and
other
natural
heritage
system
lands,
mainly
within
High
Park.
C
The
area
character
study
which
we've
provided
you
with
a
copy
at
the
meeting
today,
is
an
extensive
evaluation
of
this
particular
neighborhood.
It
as
you'll
see
from
the
3d
view
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen.
It
is
an
area,
that's
characterized
by
tall
buildings,
apartment
buildings
with
generous
open
spaces
around
so
a
very
typical
Tower
in
the
park
type
development
we
see
in
many
parts
of
the
city,
but,
interestingly,
it
is
laid
on
to
a
traditional
neighborhood
street
grid.
C
C
There's
a
number
of
detailed
findings.
We
did
an
extensive
amount
of
geospatial
analysis,
three-dimensional
modeling,
as
well
as
the
Sun
and
shadow
analysis.
What
I
wanted
to
just
draw
your
attention
to
you'll
notice
in
the
policies
that
you
are
considering
today,
we
speak
about
something
called
unencumbered
soil
area,
so
you'll
notice
in
the
figure-ground
diagram
that
there
are
significant
areas
shaded
in
light
gray
and
those
areas
below
the
dark
building
footprints
represent
the
extent
of
the
underground
parking
structures
within
this
neighborhood.
So
there
are
very
few
areas
within
this
neighborhood
that
actually
have
unencumbered
land.
C
It
was
very
good
to
quickly
go
through
the
community
consultation,
which
was
very
extensive.
We
had
a
consultation
meeting
which
initiated
study
in
October
of
2017.
We
asked
the
community
to
tell
us
about
what
they
valued
most
and
we
heard
open
overwhelmingly
about
the
open
space
between
buildings,
the
green
character
and
the
natural
setting
and
trees.
We
also
used
a
social
pinpoint
tool,
which
is
an
online
tool
that
allows
community
members
to
place
comments
on
a
map
and
interactive
map
and
tell
us
about
v6
topic
areas
and
what
they
value
about
their
community.
C
At
that
meeting,
the
community
consultation
meeting,
we
also
invited
our
working
group.
We
had
a
study
working
group
made
up
as
members
of
the
community
as
well
as
landowners
and
residents
associations.
We
invited
members
from
the
working
group
to
actually
help
facilitate
our
community
meeting
as
a
way
to
bring
the
group
together
and
make
those
connections
with
the
community.
We
had
six
meetings
with
our
working
group
and
really
had
an
iterative
process
of
developing
the
policies
that
are
before
you
for
consideration
today.
M
Okay,
so
the
the
draft
sass
before
you
today
is
based
on
extensive
community
consultation
and
has
been
developed
based
on
the
findings
of
the
character
study.
There
are
three
main
components
to
official
plan:
amendment
419,
the
first
one
is
as
views
to
map
7a
and
schedule
for
in
the
Official
Plan.
The
next
one
is,
if
we
does,
every
designation
of
21
High
Park
from
apartment
neighborhoods.
M
So
the
staff
components
begin
okay,
so
the
sass
by
five
one
has
several
components
and
the
first
one
begins
with
the
statement
of
area
character
and
this
components
basically
summarizes
the
statement
of
area
character,
which
is
in
the
study
and
sets
the
context
for
the
policies
in
the
sass
high
park
is
an
established,
stable
residential
neighbourhood
with
strong,
visual
and
physical
connections
to
the
natural
environment.
It's
representative,
it's
a
representative
example
of
the
terror
and
the
park.
M
So
from
this
house,
we
proceed
to
identifying
the
goals
for
the
policies
and
these
goals
were
developed
from
the
guiding
principles
and
the
guiding
principles
were
the
subject
of
extensive
community
consultation,
the
policies
that
are
grouped
into
the
various
character,
defining
elements
that
were
the
subject
of
a
study
and
we
started
with
the
natural
environment.
The
policies
in
the
natural
environment,
section
of
SAS
by
5-1,
incorporate
the
recommendations
of
the
natural
heritage
impact
study
and
support
and
enhance
the
natural
environment,
including
the
natural
heritage
and
hydrological
features
and
functions
of
High
Park.
M
The
both
foreign
policies
focused
on
specific
infill
development
criteria,
tailored
for
the
unique
circumstances
of
this
neighborhood.
There
are
three
building
types
identified
as
compatible
with
the
character
of
the
neighborhood
low-rise
High
Park
apartment,
neighborhood,
mid
rise
and
High
Park
apartment
neighborhood
tall
building,
the
low-rise
is
generally
what
is
permitted
in
the
broader
neighborhood.
While
the
mid
rise
is
an
apartment,
building,
structure,
11
stories
tall
and
it
can
either
be
in
an
elongated
floor
platform
or
in
a
compact
form.
M
So
in
terms
of
the
site,
servicing
policies,
those
policies
provide
direction
to
consolidate
and
integrate
these
functions
and
improve
infrastructure
for
the
building's
transportation
policies,
better,
integrate
land
use
and
transportation
in
this
neighborhood
community
services
and
facilities
policies
provide
direction
on
how
to
better
accommodate
community
space
in
the
area,
including
school
facilities
and
in
terms
of
the
implementation
section.
There
is
a
section
in
there
dealing
with
section
37
benefits.
These
were
identified
through
feedback
taken
from
the
community
consultation
that
we
conducted
through
the
study.
M
So,
in
terms
of
the
report
recommendations
before
you
today,
the
first
recommendation
is
to
adopt
official
plan
amendment
419
next
authorize
our
city
solicitor,
to
make
any
stylistic
changes
that
may
be
required
next
direct
for
the
public
consultation
on
our
draft
High
Park
apartment,
neighborhood
urban
design,
guidelines
which
will
be
posted
online
middle
of
the
month.
Next
direct
staff
to
use
OPA
419
and
the
sass
551
in
the
evaluation
of
all
new
and
current
applications
within
this
area
and
then,
finally,
to
direct
the
city,
solicitor
and
city
staff
to
attend
and
support
official
plan.
C
Okay
hi,
my
name
is
Barbie
Lazarus
and
I'm,
a
more
than
10
year
resident
of
the
High
Park
apartment
community
I'm,
an
active
volunteer
with
the
High
Park
Tennis,
Association
and
I,
was
on
the
previous
working
group
for
the
development
that
is
currently
under
construction
on
High
Park
right
now,
I
want
to
start
by
saying
I'm
really
excited
about
this
official
plan.
Amendment
and
I
fully
support
the
community
council.
Do
you
adopt
the
amendment
and
forward
it
to
City
Council
for
approval?
C
I
have
been
told
that
at
today's
meeting
there
is
an
option
for
you
to
direct
small
changes
to
be
made
to
this
amendment
and
still
send
it
to
City
Council
for
approval
today.
So
that's
like
urging
you
to
do
like
I,
said
I'm
really
overwhelmingly
in
support
of
this
amendment,
especially
the
increased
protections
for
preserving
and
enhancing
open
space
amenities,
preserving
the
soft
landscaped
areas,
the
pedestrian
connections,
the
sunlight,
the
sky
views
and
the
privacy.
I
really
appreciate
a
really
great
job.
That's
been
done,
especially
on
the
the
built
form
section.
C
I
am,
however,
concerned
just
about
two
very
small
aspects
of
the
recommended
amendments.
One
is
under
number
three
public
realm
and
one
is
under
Section
8
community
services,
the
one
under
Section
3
is
letter,
L
VIII,
where
it
says
the
Pops
or
pops4
prioritize
child
specific
elements
where
appropriate.
As
you
know-
and
it's
been
pointed
out
in
earlier
presentations
with
high
Park
in
Lithuania
Park
very
directly
nearby,
we
already
have
abundant
active,
child-friendly
green
space
available.
C
We
have
several
playgrounds,
we
have
splash
pads,
we
have
tennis
courts,
we
have
an
outdoor
pool,
we
have
a
baseball
diamonds,
so
that
space
is
already
very
abundant
in
the
High
Park
apartment.
Neighborhood,
very
close.
What
will
be
lost
with
the
encroaching
development,
of
course,
is
the
passive
quiet,
green
space.
C
You
know
a
simple
place
where
you
can
just
sit
on
a
park
bench
and
read
a
book
with
some
trees
around
and
so
I
would
actually
like
to
see
the
amendment
emphasized
that
new
green
space
acquired
by
the
city
and
the
the
pops
RPO
PS
instead
be
prioritized
as
passive
green
spaces.
So,
for
example,
instead
of
saying
prioritize
child
specific
elements,
I
would
like
to
see
that
adjusted
to
prioritize
passive
green
space
and,
if
you're
not
willing
to
make
that
change.
C
So,
just
because
we're
tenants-
and
just
because
it's
a
high-rise
residential
building
I,
don't
think
it
makes
it
any
less
our
home
or
residential
property.
So
in
conclusion,
again,
I
just
want
to
emphasize
I
really
am
excited
about
the
recommendations
and
the
amendment
as
a
whole.
I
do
feel
that
these
two
small
provisions
and
encourage
day
care,
schools
or
community
groups
to
use
an
encroach
on
the
limited
passive
green
space
that
we'll
have
left
with
the
added
developments
are
unnecessary.
C
So
I'd
like
to
just
see
those
two
small
statements
removed
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
the
green
space
that
that
will
be
left
on
the
development
properties
be
encouraged
and
protected
wherever
possible
to
be
passive,
green
space.
So,
just
again
in
conclusion,
as
a
longtime
resident
and
active,
the
community
I
do
urge
you
to
direct
these
small
changes
to
the
Official
Plan
amendment,
but
then
still
do
please
send
it
to
City
Council
for
approval.
Today.
Thank.

In
your
final
page
of
the
high
pass
area
support,
they
mentioned
the
policies
of
section
5.1
point
one
of
the
Official
Plan
regarding
section
37
of
the
Planning
Act
will
apply
to
high
park
apartment
neighbourhood,
site
and
area.
Specific
policy
I'd
like
to
know
if
they
could
be
allowed
to
apply
with
better
accessibility
to
a
high
park.
Subway
station
right
now,
with
nine
thousand
people
living
in
the
area
with
hordes
of
people
coming
in
from
Kipling
in
this
region.
I
can't
get
a
seat
on
the
subway
at
7
a.m.
G
in
the
morning,
and
this
someone
takes
pity
on
this
old
lady
and
then
even
at
1
o'clock
on
a
Saturday,
so
I'd
like
to
know
how
many
councillors
actually
ever
take
the
subway
at
the
busy
times
good
for
you
try
it
on
a
Saturday
when
you
have
a
doors,
open
policy
and
try
at
7
a.m.
in
the
morning
to
make
your
meetings
on
time
and
make
sure
you
get
to
Yonge
and
Bloor,
because
that's
where
the
developers
don't
concern
themselves
with,
but
that's
what
urban
planners
do
and
take
their
numbers
wrong.
G
I
also
learned
that
the
developers
actually
provided
their
own
transit
study
for
the
high
high
park
area.
So
why
would
anyone
trust
them?
Oh
I
mean
that
just
seemed
to
me
a
little
unpleasant
section:
37
of
the
Planning
Act
authorizes
municipalities
to
grant
increases
in
height
and
density
of
development
in
exchange
for
provisions
of
facilities,
service
or
matters
pretty
vague
in
High
Park.
We've
got
a
lot
of
stone
dogs
from
the
daniels
development,
no
access
to
the
subway,
no
further
green
spaces,
but
we've
got
some
stone
dogs.
G
They
may
be
coyotes,
they
may
be
moose,
but
they're.
Not
there
and
page
15
of
the
high
park
study
says
a
detailed
analysis
of
future
transit
riders.
We
already
have
9,000
people
in
a
heavily
saturated
community.
So
what
would
a
detailed
study
of
future
transit
riders
show
if
they
haven't
really
looked
at
the
situation
right
now?
Mr.
holiday
probably
knows
I
hope
all
the
rest
of
you
will
discover
once
like
to
take
the
subway
to
a
meeting
downtown
when
you
have
to
go
through
Yonge
and
Bloor.
So
more
accessibility
is
needed.
G
I'm
disabled
I
have
an
ageing
husband
with
heart
problems.
I
don't
like
going
down
stairs,
he
doesn't
like
going
up
stairs,
so
it's
Jack
Sprat.
There
is
no
down
escalator.
Do
you
know
I
just
like
to
stand
at
the
top
of
a
flight
of
stone,
stairs
wondering
if
you're
going
to
fall
and
crash
and
break
all
your
hips
and
ribs
and
lie
bleeding
at
the
bottom,
because
there's
no
other
way
of
getting
down
stairs.
Imagine
if
you
have
a
stroller,
no
escalators,
why
is
section
37
not
sent
to
for
providing
its
elevators
since
amalgamation?
B
A
Wine
we're
trying
to
get
this
done
before
lunch.
We
got
five
speakers
and
20
minutes
to
go
for
our
next
speaker,
Mary
Cora
kept
court
hi
Mary
Eric
welcome.
Thank
you
for
your
patience.
Guys
are
trying
to
get
through
this
before
lunch,
so
we
got
we're
very
tight
here
guys.
Please
thank
you
floors,
yours
members,.
H
So
first
I'll
speak
about
my
own
experience
of
the
little
corner
in
Toronto,
where
I
live
and
him
starting
a
family
and
then
I'll
talk
about
what
this
amendment
means
to
me
and
then
I'll
pass
along
some
of
the
things
my
neighborhood
said.
I
should
tell
you,
when
I
moved
back
to
Toronto
a
few
years
ago,
I
specifically
looked
for
an
apartment
somewhere
with
tree-lined
streets.
H
For
me
like
for
many
people
living
near
trees
is
a
big
factor
in
quality
of
life,
but
you
don't
need
my
subjective
experience
to
know
the
value
of
trees
and
in
urban
setting
for
both
humans
and
the
environment.
There
is
plenty
of
evidence-based
research
and
the
City
of
Toronto
even
has
an
official
strategy
to
grow
Toronto
parkland,
which
includes
privately
owned,
publicly
accessible
lands
like
in
Hyde
Park
north
now.
My
point
is
that
in
Toronto,
if
you're
looking
for
tree-lined
streets,
you
probably
can't
do
better
than
hi
Park
north.
H
It's
not
a
matter
of
one
row
of
trees.
Lining
the
street
there's
rows
upon
rows,
all
different
varieties,
all
different
sizes
spaced
in
a
random
way.
That
gives
us
a
sense
of
being
in
a
park
when
anyone
walks
on
the
streets
or
between
the
buildings
in
High,
Park
north.
They
feel
more
in
a
natural
environment
than
really
a
man-made
one.
How
clever?
How
careful
how
creative
the
designers
were,
how
lucky
we
are?
H
Who
get
to
rent
in
the
neighborhood
or
just
take
strolls
through
it,
or
even
just
have
this
model
of
enlightened
urban
residential
planning
existing
in
our
city?
How
much
ashame
them
to
find
out
about
to
development
proposals
that
would
tear
down
much
of
what
is
so
great
in
the
neighborhood.
Those
development
proposals
are
the
reason
many
of
us
residents
mobilised,
fundraised,
canvassed
and
advocated
it's
why
councillor
Sarah
de
set
has
so
energetically
supported
us
and
why
it
is
so
important
that
city
staff
invested
hundreds
of
hours
of
staff,
time
and
expertise
leading
to
this
amendment.
H
So
when
the
amendment
talks
about
reclassifying
our
neighborhood
to
parks
and
open
spaces,
I
hope
of
continuing
to
see
kids,
including
my
future
child
running,
jumping
and
playing
frisbee
between
our
apartment
buildings.
When
the
amendment
talks
about
men
mandating
unencumbered
soil
areas,
I
have
hope
of
keeping
many
of
those
massive
trees,
because
there
won't
be
an
underground
parking
garage
clipping
their
roots
and
when
the
amendment
talks
about
limited
overlooked
and
providing
access
to
natural
light,
I
can
hope
that
we
won't
go
from
living
in
towers
in
the
park
this
year.
H
To
a
few
years
later,
living
in
another
version
of
Liberty
Village
or
Yonge
and
Eglinton,
that's
what
I
think.
But
what
do
my
neighbors
say?
Gale
on
the
seventeenth
floor
visits
her
friends
on
Quebec
Avenue,
where
two
apartment
buildings
under
construction
have
already
obstructed
the
view
eliminated
space
between
buildings
and
uprooted
trees.
She
worries
that
she
faces
the
same
thing.
Annie.
H
An
older
lady
on
the
16th
floor,
wants
to
maintain
the
demographic
mix
by
limiting
density
and
preserving
relative
privacy,
so
that
retirees
can
continue
to
feel
comfortable
thereto
and
chandelle.
A
young
lady
on
the
third
floor
said
I'm
from
the
Caribbean
nature
is
what
drives
me.
I
work
downtown,
but
I
don't
want
to
live
like
downtown
I
used
to
live
right
on
Dundas
West.
She
said:
I
moved
here
for
the
green
space.
H
L
My
name
is
Lanka
Holoubek
diem,
counselors
I,
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
address
proposed
amendment
number
419
and
cite
an
area
specific
policy
number
five
and
one
in
respect
to
Hyde,
Park
apartment,
neighborhood
study
and
the
final
report
as
a
participant
of
boss,
blue
West,
Village,
Avenue
study,
lack
and
high
Park
apartment,
neighborhood
character,
study
working
group
I
am
very
aware
of
an
enormous
amount
of
efforts
invested
into
this
secondary
studies
by
the
city
staff.
Thank
you.
It
doesn't
mean
necessarily
that
I
always
agree,
but
I
am
very
aware
how
hard
you
worked.
L
The
outcomes
of
these
studies,
especially
high
Park
apartment,
neighborhood
area,
character,
study
and
the
proposed
draft
official
plans,
amendment
number
four,
nineteen
and
and
fast
policy
number
five.
Why
one
is
critical
for
future
preservation
of
hai
park
natural
heritage
system
for
the
long
term.
As
provincial
policy
statement,
2014
says:
natural
heritage
shall
be
preserved
from
the
long
term,
so
this
is
now
in
jeopardy.
L
Today
it
seems
that
there
is
a
notoriety
about
hi,
Park
and
knowledge
about
hai
park
being
one
of
the
most
significant
natural
resources
in
Toronto
and
a
citywide
natural
heritage,
destination
and
wildlife
habitat.
Yet
when
it
comes
to
development
in
some
of
the
city
most
attractive
areas
in
proximity
to
some
of
the
city,
most
valuable,
fragile,
unique
natural
heritage
and
remaining
biodiversity
hotspots,
we
will
hear
much
more
this
this
coming
July,
because
the
biodiversity
strategy
finally
is
coming
back.
L
L
Yet
the
proposed
amendment
number
419
stipulates
density
increase
in
High,
Park
natural
heritage,
immediate
proximity
as
an
addition
of
approximately
3%
of
gross
floor
area
and
accompanying
population
density,
spread
across
the
entire
High
Park
apartment
neighborhood,
which
can
be
translated
into
potentially
about
3,000
new
residents
in
the
study
area.
Now,
if
we
didn't
have
already
dense
population,
a
high
density
in
High,
Park
apartment,
neighborhood
per
active
area,
our
density
now,
according
to
216,
the
census
information
is
8500
in
mid-2000
19
when
to
25
stories,
condominium
towers,
51,
Kabakov
and
you
will
be
completed.
L
We
will
be
adding
another,
perhaps
close
to
thousand
residents,
so
our
population
will
increase
to
9500
and
it
will
come
to
about
500
people
per
hectare.
Then,
if
we
add
another
3,000,
potentially
we
may
end
up
with
12,000
and
then
per
hectare
population
will
be.
What
is
now
in
downtown.
Are
we
still
believing
that
the
impact
due
to
this
increase
use
of
the
local
residents
will
not
may
impact
on
this
precious
natural
heritage,
despite
potential
increase
of
best
management
practices
and
substantial
funding
from
the
city
for
that
increase
of
management.
L
To
be
continued,
hi
Park
was
considered
being
one
of
the
most
significant
natural
heritage
destinations
from
the
onset
of
ecosystem
approach
concept
developed
in
Toronto
in
denial,
early
90s.
So
according
to
the
metropolitan
waterfront
plan
prepared
by
Metropolitan
Planning
Department
in
1994,
this
destination
was
not
planned
with,
although
subway
stations
as
transit,
but
had
so
many
subway
station,
because
it
was
to
be
used
as
prime
recreation
resorts
in
the
city.

Know
fighting

My
name
is
Paul
those
I'm
with
the
planning
firm,

SGO
planning
and

and
we
represent

Glen
Lake
limited,
which,
of
course,

to

Glen
Lake,
which
is
a
30
story.
Rental
building
at
the
corner
of
Pacific
and
Glen,
like
Avenue
we've
submitted
a
letter
to
community
councillor,
should
have
it
before
you.
We've
been
involved
with
the
area,
character,
study
and
of
I
I've
sat
on
the
working
group
and
we'd
like
to
commend
staff
for
the
great
work
they've
done.
B
They've
done
a
heck
of
a
lot
of
work
in
a
very
short
period
of
time,
so
I
urge
you
community
council
to
also
commend
them
for
the
great
work
that
they've
done.
We're
generally
quite
supportive
of
the
work
that's
done
and
supportive
of
okay
419.
We
do
have
four
specific
policy
comments
to
make
and
request
specific
policy
changes.
The
first
one
is
regarding
to
building
separation
distances,
which
you'll
find
in
section
five.
B
Typically,
building
separation
distances
are
required
to
ensure
privacy
between
units
between
windows
and
balconies
facing
each
other,
and
we
support
that
as
a
typical
standard
in
the
Toronto.
But
the
way
the
policy
is
written,
it
would
apply
between
a
blank
wall
and
a
building
with
windows
and
doors,
windows
and
balconies,
and
we
don't
think
that
necessary
that
can
be
addressed
to
zoning
bylaw.
B
This
is
at
the
official
plant
stage,
so
we'd
request
that
the
policy
be
changed
to
minimum
separation
distance
between
two
primary
elevations
of
new
and
existing
windows,
so
primary
elevations
of
where
you
have
windows
and
and
balconies.
Our
second
comment
is
regarding
unencumbered
saw
soils.
We
support
that
principle
of
trying
to
protect
and
keep
the
unencumbered
soils,
but
the
policy
is
worded
says,
maintain
unencumbered
soil,
so
areas
to
provide
for
water
infiltration,
we're
concerned
about
the
interpretation
of
maintain.
It
may
be
interpreted
that
there's
no
change,
that's
allowed
to
underground
parking
garages.
B
We
think
there
should
be
some
flexibility
there.
So
we're
suggesting
the
policy
be
changed
from
maintained
to
provide
unencumbered
soils
for
water
infiltration.
We
did.
We
do
support
the
concept
of
trying
to
maximize
water
infiltration.
Our
third
comment
is
related.
There's
requirements
for
specific
setbacks
to
underground
parking
garage
from
the
street
again
for
underground
for
the
unencumbered
soils.
B
We're
concerned
that
when
we
come
forward
that
there
needs
to
be
a
balance
between
what
your
Transportation
Department
is
going
to
require
in
terms
of
parking
requirements
and
then
water
infiltration,
and
we
think
that
that
needs
to
be
considered
as
applications
come
forward.
So
we'd
requested
the
specific
numbers
the
policies
are
appropriate,
but
the
specific
numbers
not
be
included
in
the
official
plan
but
addressed
at
the
zoning
bylaw.
B
Lastly,
we
have
a
policy
requiring
25
percent
of
new
units
to
be
two-bedroom
and
10
percent
to
be
three-bedroom.
We
support
that
concept,
but
the
way
it's
written
is
to
apply
to
all
new
units
to
99.
Glen
Lake
has
a
substantial
number
of
two
and
three-bedroom
units
and
we'd,
like
those
taken
account.
