B
B
C
Okay,
I'll
be
very
brief.
I
first
just
I
want
to
thank
council
holiday
throughout
the
application
process
has
been
incredibly
supportive,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
planning
staff
specifically
louisa
galley
in
nicole
ivanov.
They
didn't
miss
a
beat
during
the
whole
coveted
lockdown.
They
processed
the
application.
They
were
available
and
responsive,
and
it's
greatly
appreciated
by
us
at
kingsette.
C
I'm
here
to
support
the
staff
recommendations.
I
understand
council
holiday
has
a
motion
we're
aware
of
that.
We
support
that
motion
and
what
we're
proposing
is
a
mixed
use.
Development,
that's
going
to
deliver
a
large
new
park,
a
community
space
and
there
will
be
a
rental
housing
component
as
well.
C
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
do
have
four
motions
which
I
will
ask
the
clerks
to
to
present
motion
number
one.
A
is
a
technical
amendment
that
staff
have
asked
me
to
add
to
the
recommendations,
concerns
the
phasing
and
the
way
that
the
the
the
recommendations
work
motion,
1b
is,
my
colleagues
will
know,
is
fairly
standard
from
me,
that
is
to
exclude
the
ability
to
create
on-street
parking
for
future
people
in
that
location.
E
There
is
very
difficult
to
do
that
in
that
area,
and
I
do
this
to
ensure
that
developments
contain
adequate
parking
within
them.
Motion
1c
has
to
do
with
the
section
37
benefits,
and
it
asks
that
staff
consult
with
me
before
finalizing
the
section
37
benefits
and
the
final
one
again
fairly
standard.
E
My
colleagues
will
know
is
that
I
ask
that
the
award
counselor
be
involved
in
the
construction
management
plan,
because
we're
working
pretty
hard
to
take
these
to
the
next
level
to
make
sure
that
communications
is
strong,
with
stakeholders
in
and
around
a
construction
site
of
this
size
and
to
make
sure
that
we
think
about
traffic
and
safety
and
all
of
those
really
important
things,
and
I
also
will
say
thank
you
to
everyone
involved.
This
is
a
very
large
development
along
the
427
corridor.
E
Some
will
recognize
the
the
valhalla
executive
center
office
buildings
to
come
down
to
change,
as
we
have
been
seeing
along
the
427
corridor.
A
thousand
plus
units
of
a
mixed
use-
development
very
large
in
size,
but
it
is
a
continuation
of
some
of
the
great
buildings
that
we
see
there,
and
I
will
make
one
note
of
something
a
little
different
in
this
development
not
radically
different
but
different.
E
E
There
has
been
difficulty
in
securing
spaces
to
provide
programming
by
one
agency
or
another
to
members
of
the
community,
and
I
think
that's
a
little
bit
different
than
this,
and
I
commend
the
staff
for
working
very
hard
and
commend
the
applicant
for
working
very
hard
with
the
staff
to
come
up
with
a
solution
that
is
going
to
bring
a
benefit
to
the
community.
I
think
that's
exciting
and
we'll
watch
this
unfold.
So
thank
you
all
involved,
and
I
hope
that
you
will
support
the
recommendations
that
are
before
you.
B
B
B
I
B
Great,
thank
you
any
questions
with
a
deputy.
I
just
have
one
mr
late,
and
I
know
it's
in
the
report
here,
but
I
just
like
to
it's
a
very
important
issue
for
the
warrant.
I
think
we
have
a
very
reasonable
application
here,
but
down
to
5c
we
have
the
cenotaph
the
new
toronto
cenotaph
that
is
currently
at
the
legion.
Now
we're
going
to
be
relocating
at
the
colonel
sampson
park
and
that's
going
to
be
your
expense,
correct.
I
B
B
Any
speakers
to
the
item.
I
will
just
speak.
This
is
a
an
application
on
eighth
street.
The
old
legion
at
neutron
have
been
there
forever
they've
amalgamated
up
into
judges
in
the
other
legion
up,
just
north
of
the
queensway,
which
is
is
great
to
see,
but
we
have
a
you
know
very
reasonable.
I
think
application
coming
in
here
which
I'm
supporting.
B
I
move
the
staff
recommendations
by
the
way,
but
the
big
part
was
working
with
this
developer
to
save
that
center
tap
and
move
it
to
a
home
that
probably
will
not
be
moved
in
any
of
our
lifetimes.
So
we
have
a
great
setting
at
colonel
sandsmith
park,
great
backdrop
with
the
assembly
hall
behind
it,
and
that
will
be
a
place
that
we
can
celebrate
remembrance
day
with
the
veterans
and
a
beautiful
setting.
So
with
that,
I
ask
you
to
support
the
regulations
for
us
all
in
favor.
B
G
G
G
B
G
B
The
property
accounts
within
sierra
right
and
the
legion
sold
the
property
and
they
have
joined
with
the
legion
up
on
joplin
street,
just
just
north
of
the
queensway
etobicoke,
so
they've
been
at
that
home,
probably
for
a
couple
years
now,
at
least
and
they're
very
supportive.
The
legion
has
been
part
of
the
discussions
with
the
developer.
I
want
to
see
to
relocate
that
center
path
and
they're
happy.
This
is
going
to
happen
and
we're
really
shooting
get
this
done
by
this
november.
G
B
B
I
I
Following
from
two
community
consultations
that
we
had
as
well
as
a
tenant
meeting
and
two
tenant
surveys,
we've
worked
with
staff.
The
applicant
has
worked
with
staff
as
well
as
the
counselor's
office,
to
provide
for
several
several
improvements
to
the
property.
There
will
be
new
amenities
spaces
in
the
form
of
new
play
equipment,
water
play
areas,
a
community,
barbecue
area
introduced
all
the
indoor
and
outdoor
amenities
space
will
be
accessible
to
both
the
new
tenants
of
the
site
and
the
existing
tenants
as
well.
I
The
project
also
contributes
through
the
section
37
contribution
to
improvement
of
parks
in
the
area.
There
will
be
a
bike
station,
a
bike
share
station,
as
well
as
some
funds
toward
the
community
action
center
in
the
neighborhood.
So
with
that,
I
would
just
conclude
that
we
are
in
agreement
with
the
staff
recommendation.
I
Compliments
to
staff
for
working
with
us
through
covet
and
in
an
efficient
manner,
and
you
know
the
project's
been
ongoing
since
2017,
but
we're
happy
with
the
result,
and
we
think
we've
worked
well
with
staff
in
the
counselor's
office
to
as
well
as
the
community
consultation
meetings
and
tenant
surveys
to
have
a
project
that
we
believe
is
going
to
be
a
great
one
for
the
area
and
bring
new
rental
housing
with
a
lot
of
new
family
size
units
with
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
You
know
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
B
H
H
Thank
you,
sir.
My
name
is
rodrigo,
I'm
the
superintendent
of
kenmar
and
the
same
time,
I'm
the
vice
president
of
the
corporation
ycc446,
as
the
neighbor
like
what
we
feel.
It's
not
a
good
idea
and
I
have
collected
petition
around
100,
but
I
didn't
get
enough
time
to
collect
more
because
it
was
your
time
but
whoever
I
talked
to
in
our
building
100
of
the
owners
and
the
residents
of
the
building.
We
don't
like
the
idea.
The
reason
is
our
area.
The
density
is
so
high
in
a
small
area.
H
We
already
have
a
three
large
building
and
each
building
has
more
than
300
unit,
plus
so
it's
mean
almost
900
unit
plus
and
then
our
identity
density
is
so
high
in
this
area,
and
we
have
a.
We
have
existing
lot
of
issues
here
about
secret
ratios
and
and
the
density
most
of
the
time
now
15
market
and
the
resident
they
are
coming
to
our
our
area,
our
building,
our
property
to
clay
and
into
our
swimming
pool.
H
Because,
oh
it's
over
there,
it's
already
crowded
and
now
having
said
that,
now
they're
going
to
bring
another
building
right
beside
it
and
it's
a
eight-story
building,
but
it's
gonna
spread
out
and
it's
going
to
take
their
own
landscaping.
Existing
pool
and
the
play
area
so
and
then
they're
going
to
bring
more
people
like
half
size
of
the
building
like
155
units.
It's
going
to
build
right
beside
it,
and
so
all
the
land
is
going
to
be
shrinking.
H
H
Yeah
so
then
what
happened
like
last
year,
month
of
month
of
november
and
october,
between
eight
weeks
time,
we
had
six
shootings
in
this
area
like
and
right.
One
was
right
beside
the
two
division
police
station.
So
so
we
have
existing
security
issues
in
this
area,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
drug
issues,
shooting
issues
so
and
as
as
as
the
one
and
only
condo,
and
we
are
surrounded
by
the
metro,
housing
right
beside
and
then
the
525
market,
and
we
have
some
kind
of
a
subsidies
housing
there.
H
H
We're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
have
big
issues
because
it's
gonna
create
existing
issues.
That's
what
I
think
like
even
I
I
got
a
petition
of
100
around
and
I
submit
yesterday
to
the
counselor.
So
you
know
so
I
could
collect
more
if
you
want,
because
I
didn't
had
enough
time,
but
our
whole
building,
like
100
percent
of
10
market
and
it's
about
300
and
we
have
314
units.
So
we
have
314
units
in
our
building.
H
So
all
the
residents
and
the
owners
didn't
like
the
idea
so
and
I
I
I
think
it's
not
a
good
approach
and
increa
inc
passing
the
new
bilo
to
increase
the
density
of
this
area.
I
think
it's
not
a
good
idea,
so
you
guys
could
approach
it
in
a
different
way
and
we
have
a
lot
of
existing
problems
and
and
even
for
15
months,
I
eaten
the
people,
the
resident
itself
that
who
they
are
living
there
and
it's
gonna.
It's
not
good,
even
for
them,
because
I
I
even
heard
from
them.
B
B
J
J
J
It
is
115
new
rental
units
as
well
as
we
are
securing
the
section
37
contribution
of
350
000
to
go
towards
improvements
to
north
park.
Bicycle
share
stations,
as
well
as
a
commercial
teaching
kitchen
at
1652,
keel
street.
Our
housing
policy
staff
have
been
working
with
the
applicant,
obviously
to
secure
the
existing
rental
units,
as
well
as
the
new
and
obviously
to
have
improvements
to
the
existing
building
to
deal
with
any
security
issues.
J
B
E
E
You
know
a
new
infill
building
is
proposed
and
then
kind
of
like
at
the
last
minute.
Somebody
comes
with
a
petition
and
says
you
know
I
don't
want
the
building
there,
but
maybe
the
problem
is:
is
the
rules
were
set
in
place
way
way
back
at
other
points
in
time
and
at
other
levels
of
government?
And
I
wonder
sabrina?
E
Could
you
comment
a
bit
more
about
some
of
the
provincial
policy
frameworks
and
what
our
official
plan
says
about
infill
development
on
tower
in
the
park
sites
like
this,
which
create
the
ground
rules
for
property
owners
to
come
in
with
these
applications,
and
then
we
go
through
all
of
the
details
and
fine-tune
them.
But
could
you
add
a
bit
of
comment
to
that
because
I
want
to
just
understand
a
bit
more
that
you
know.
J
It's
about
amenity
space,
it's
about
preserving
the
existing
landscaping
that
is
currently
on
site,
providing
obviously
the
amount
of
sufficient
amount
of
parking
and
just
to
build
up
that
community
within
this
area.
We
know
that
there
is
a
well
community
here,
all
the
tenants
of
all
the
three
buildings
gather
occasionally,
and
so
we
want
to
ensure
that
that
continues
to
happen
with
this
new
development.
E
Would
you
would
it
be
fair
to
say,
though,
that
the
provincial
policies
and
our
official
plan,
I
won't
say,
encourage
but
have
mechanisms
to
permit
these
infill
developments?
So
you
know
a
developer,
comes
in
and
reads
that
plan
and
reads
the
prevailing
legislation,
and
it
says
you
know
growth
is
going
to
happen
in
toronto
and
these
are
the
types
of
places
that
it
occurs
and
then
you
as
a
planner
and
a
community
council
and
all
the
community
members
involved.
E
J
It's
through
you,
mr
chair.
Yes,
that
is
correct.
Originally,
when
the
application
was
submitted,
it
was
for
a
complete
eight-story
building
and
through
numerous
conversations
with
the
applicant,
we
were
able
to
increase
the
setbacks
to
the
plaza,
as
well
as
the
separation
distance
between
the
new
building
and
the
existing
building
in
order
to
achieve
more
sunlight
and
views
through
the
site.
E
Would
it
be
fair
to
say
that
if
a
council
refused
it
which
happens
from
time
to
time
and
it
was
appealed
to
the
the
tribunal,
you
know,
council
would
have
to
argue
that
despite
us
having
all
these
legislation
and
official
plan
and
rules
that
allow
these
kinds
of
buildings,
we
couldn't
explain
why
we
refused
it.
It
would
be
a
different
scenario
if
it
was
something
like
adjusting
the
height
or
the
the
unit
types
or
some
fine-tuned
detail.
E
J
B
K
B
C
Good
morning,
council
grimes
it
it's
it's
neil
creswell.
So
to
answer
your
question
is
yeah:
did
we
there
are
targets
that
are
set
city-wide
by
the
province
for
growth,
literally
across
the
province,
as
well
as
the
city
of
toronto?
So,
yes,
we
do
have
growth
expectations
in
the
provincial
legislation
for
the
city
of
toronto.
We
are
meeting
and
exceeding
those
targets.
I
don't
have
them
specifically
in
front
of
me.
C
The
one
shading
to
it.
With
regards
to
this
application
is
you
have
to
remember
that
this
is
an
apartment,
neighborhoods
and,
as
sabrina
had
explained,
apartment
neighborhoods
aren't
a
growth
designation,
but
within
that
planning
regime
where,
where
appropriate,
we
can
fit
in
buildings
like
this,
which,
as
sabrina,
has
described
as
modest
in
scale
and
provides
for
155
rental
dwelling
units.
G
At
first
glance-
and
I
know
I
know
this
area
well,
even
before
the
last
municipal
election.
I
represented
this
area
when
I
was
the
mayor
of
york,
so
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
area.
At
first
glance,
I
did
have
concerns
on
the
existing
building
that
we
have
at
15
marthine
way,
the
condition
of
the
building
and
hearing
from
some
of
the
tenants
in
the
building,
but
through
the
whole
process
and
the
planning
process
and
working
with
the
applicant.
G
We
you
know-
and
I
was
very
pleased
that
the
applicant
was
willing-
and
he
is
investing
a
lot
of
money
into
the
existing
building
and
working
with
the
tenants
and
a
number
of
renovations
that
is
that's
being
done
within
the
existing
building.
As
far
as
security
and
any
issues
that
there
have
been
so
that
was
one
of
the
conditions
that
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
existing
building
was
going
to
be
maintained
and
you
know
and
renovated
and
cleaned
up.
Because
of
the
issues
that
we've
had
in
the
past.
G
And
through
this
application
there
is
going
to
be.
And
if
you
read
the
report,
security
cameras
and
there's
going
to
be
outdoor
amenity.
Space
for
cooking
a
water
play
splash
pad
things
that
the
tenants
in
those
buildings
were
very
much
in
need
of
recreation,
outdoor
recreation,
which
they
don't
have
now,
which
will
be
which
will
help
all
the
tenants,
including
all
three
buildings,
to
have
community
events
and
to
have
barbecues
and
to
share
the
to
share
the
space
and
and
then
there's
also
section
37
money.
G
It
will
actually
be
better
for
the
whole
community
and
it
will
fit
in
it
will
fit
in
quite
well
with
the
community
and
you'll
have
a
number
of
amenity
privileges
that
we
didn't
have
in
the
past.
So
I
will
be
supporting
the
application
and
moving
the
recommendations
that
we
have
before
us.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
council,
nunziada
counsel,
any
further
speakers
to
the
item,
seeing
none
counseling
on
jazz
move
the
staff
accommodations
all
in
favor
opposed
that
carries
17.4
final
report,
2996
western
road
zoning
bylaw
amendment
application.
We
have
three
speakers
on
the
list,
our
first
speaker,
walter,
yes,
walter
good
morning,
sir
welcome
you
have
five
minutes.
My
friend.
C
C
C
Now
we
have
magnitudes
for
sound
noise
pollution,
then
some
are
living
in
downtown
toronto,
probably
the
highest
in
all
of
all
of
north
north
york,
maybe
ontario.
This
has
got
to
stop.
It's
got
to
stop
because
it's
affecting
us
all-
and
I
don't
think
this
this.
This
development
is
going
to
have
any
benefit
whatsoever,
the
people
of
western
road.
C
Recently,
my
boulevard
was
damaged
by
trucks
because
we're
doing
work,
and
I
cannot
be
constantly
calling
three
one
one,
because
the
inspectors
don't
come
out
to
do
the
fixing
they
don't
come
out
to
meet
with
me
on
the
famous
they
agree
to
meet
me.
They
don't
agree
to
me.
They
don't
meet
with
me
and
I'm
I
I
don't
have
faith
in
having
to
do
complaints.
C
C
I
hope
that
everyone
sticks
to
their
promise
of
supporting
green.
This
is
right
on
the
humber
river.
We,
the
the
existing
development
that
slipped
by
us,
has
water
run
off
into
the
humber
river
untreated.
So
you'll
have
your
motor
wheel
leaking
from
your
car
it'll
end
up
in
the
humber
river,
which
now
sticks
it
stinks
so
bad.
I
like
to
do
a
daily
walk
there,
but
sometimes
it
really
stinks.
C
C
So
there's
a
problem
with
speeding.
Here
we
have
spinning
trucks,
we
have
people
racing,
we
have.
We
have
constant
noise,
that's
the
day
in
and
night.
So
I
I
really
we
can't
we
candle
more
than
that
and
we,
you
know
what
we
have
our
fair
share.
Also,
the
storm
water
looking
at
the
storm
water,
it
will
be
increased,
storm
will
be
increased,
no
doubt
or
the
law
coverage
of
these
houses
are
are
believe:
they're,
they're,
close
or
over
the
law
coverage.
C
And
if
you
look
at
the
plan,
there's
no
green
on
the
there's,
the
remote
it's
all
driveway,
they
don't
have
the
percentage
of
green,
that's
required
in
the
front
lawn,
there's
so
many
variances
here
that
they
want
to
accommodate
the
benefit
of
the
developer,
where
there's
no
benefit
whatsoever,
they're,
not
giving
us
anything,
nothing.
No,
unlike
another
application,
we
just
heard.
Are
they
giving
some
benefit
to
the
community?
There's
no
community
benefit,
there's
all
detriment
right
here.
So
I'm
against
that
and
also
another
issue,
is
that
the
george
mckenzie
court
cars
coming
out
there.
C
I
have
headlights
flashing
right
into
my
living
room.
I
walk
out
my
door.
I
have
flashing
lights
in
my
eyes,
we're
sensitive
to
light,
so
that
is
also
a
contra
provincial
bylaw
629.
Also,
this
this
property
has
been
consistently
broken.
The
bylaw
we
have
always
had
to
complain
three
one
one
has
considered
it
also
as
it
stands
is
not
within
bylaws
and
and
not
much
has
been
done.
C
B
L
L
L
The
reductions
and
amendments
to
the
application
also
included
reduction
in
heights
to
the
units,
a
concern
that
we
heard
from
the
public
as
well
as
safety
along
weston
road.
So
the
two
lots
now
located
with
weston
road
frontage
now
have
partial
hammerheads
to
accommodate
turn
around,
so
that
vehicles
exiting
those
lots
can
exit
their
homes
front
on
and
they're
not
backing
up
onto
weston
road.
L
This
also
resulted
in
a
slight
decrease
in
the
required
front
yard
landscape,
which
we
are
requesting
an
amendment
to
in
order
to
accommodate
that
partial
hammerhead
for
safety
purposes.
In
terms
of
the
overall
application,
it
has
been
reviewed
from
the
perspective
of
a
natural
heritage.
Stormwater
management
traffic
design
reports
were
in
fact
submitted
and
were
reviewed
by
the
appropriate
staff,
including
the
conservation
authority.
L
This
has
been
evaluated
confirmed
that
we
will
meet
requirements
in
that
respect,
as
well
as
traffic
reports
submitted
and
again.
The
modifications
to
the
two
lots
on
weston
road
have
been
made
through
our
revised
submission
to
accommodate
some
of
the
safety
issues
that
were
discussed
with
us
at
the
two
community
meetings
that
we
did
host
with
councillor
prusa
and
his
office
as
well,
in
which
some
of
these
concerns
were
made
apparent
to
us.
L
F
So
so,
mr
chairman,
I
I
just
yeah.
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on
on
some
of
mr
matsiota's
concerns
and,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
express
my
well
wishes
for
his
dad
walter,
and
I
hope
he,
you
know,
he's
healthy
soon,
so
he
he,
mr
matiata,
mentioned
a
number
of
things.
So
he
mentioned
an
environmental
assessment.
Is
an
environmental
assessment
required.
K
F
K
Well,
this
is
this:
is
louise
the
gallery
from
planning.
I
guess
I
can
speak
to
a
little
bit.
There
weren't
any
upgrades
required
in
terms
of
stormwater
management
or
servicing
there's
capacity
in
the
area
and
and
nothing
additional
was
required.
So
so
they
are
meeting
the
city's
requirements
for
all
servicing
and
storm
water
management.
F
F
K
F
K
Sure
so
the
the
property
backs
onto
the
humber
river
valley
system.
It
is
subject
to
the
trca
regulated
area
and
it
also
falls
within
the
city's
ravine
bylaw.
The
policies
in
the
official
plan
say
when
you
have
development
on
a
ravine.
You
need
to
be
10
meters
away
from
what
we
call
the
stable
top
of
bank
or
table
stop
of
slope.
They
are
providing
that
10
meter
setback
as
part
of
the
review
of
the
application.
K
F
Okay,
so
so,
in
your
view,
you're
you're,
okay,
with
what
what
with
what's
being
asked
to
be
approved
today,
that's
correct
yeah.
Can
you
just
describe
briefly
and-
and
I
and
I
understand
it,
mr
matsiota
and-
and
you
know,
I've
encountered
this
in
neighborhoods
a
number
of
times
as
it
relates
to
to
development.
So
you,
you
basically
have
a
a
site
there
now
and
he's
complained
that
it's
it's
it's
not
being
well
maintained.
F
K
F
Just
in
fairness
to
mr
monsieur
as
well
right,
he
he
perhaps
didn't
get
some
of
these
questions
answered
throughout
the
process,
and
I
just
would
like
for
him
to
get
this
information
now.
So
so
the
the
question.
In
your
view,
this
development
under
the
existing
city
rules
it
fits
and
you're
recommending
it.
K
B
G
K
G
K
F
F
I
I'm
okay
with
moving
the
report.
That's
in
front
of
us,
yes,
absolutely,
okay,
and
and
mr
chairman,
you
know,
you
know,
I'm
I'm
new
to
this
area
as
well.
I
I'm
kind
of
like
johnny
come
lately
to
to
the
party
here,
but
there's
a
number
of
things
that
have
happened
up
and
down
western
road
and
and
right
across
from
this
particular
site.
F
Some
time
ago
you
know
similar
development
went
in
and
and
when
you
look
at
the
the
intensity
of
this
particular
development,
I
I
you
know.
I
wish
there
were
something
that
that
was
there
that
that
one
could
sort
of
you
know,
stand
up
against
and
say
you
know,
hang
on
this
is
this
is
not
not
good,
or
this
is
not
right.
When
you
look
at
it,
you
know.
The
first
proposal
was,
in
my
view,
somewhat
intensive.
F
F
In
terms
of
you
know,
people
being
able
to
to
access
those
two
properties
or
those
future,
two
new
properties,
if,
if
all
of
the
other
approvals
are
obtained,
well,
it's
it's
yeah.
As
far
as
developments
go.
Mr
chair,
I
wish
I
could
you
stand
with
mr
matsiota
and
say
you
know
what
this
is
absolutely
bad.
It's
they
can't
go
in
it.
You
know
it's
something
that
can
happen,
but
that's
not
true.
This
is
when
you
look
at
the
neighborhood.
F
When
you
look
at
the
area,
it's
it's
not
a
a
bad
infill
info
project.
These
would
be
very
very,
I
imagine,
expensive
homes
for
the
area
that
that
will
be.
Obviously
it
will
create
some.
You
know
ownership
for
for
for
folks,
you
know
moving
into
the
neighborhood
and
the
rest
of
it,
but
but
that's
part
of
the
reality.
F
It,
as
you
can
see
by
the
by
the
number
of
folks
that
are
here
in
opposition
today,
there's
there's
a
grudging
acceptance
of
change
and
you
know-
and
it's
always
difficult
to
to
you
know
when
change
comes
to
an
area.
It's
not
it's,
not
easy.
People
react
to
it.
It's
it's
you
and
I,
mr
chair.
We
like
things
the
way
they
are.
You
know
we're
not
yeah
we're
not.
F
You
know,
folks
that
all
of
a
sudden
can
sort
of
look
at
a
place
and
say
my
god
this
you
know,
there's
gonna
be
more
people
here.
There's
you
know,
there's
gonna
be
a
change
and
we
can't
conceptualize
that
then
it's
difficult
for
all
of
us.
I
get
it,
but
we're
also.
We
also
live
in
a
city.
That's
that's!
F
B
Council
approach
has
moved
the
staff
recommendations
all
in
favor
opposed
that
is
carried
moving
right
along
our
next
item:
17.5
request
for
directional
report
26
to
38
birmingham
road,
and
so
we
just
lost
it
there
and
45
to
49
birmingham
present
official
plan
and
zoning
biola
amendment
application.
We
have
a
couple
of
speakers,
our
first
speaker,
valerie
gibson
good
morning.
Ms
gibson,
are
you
there
mallory.
D
B
D
D
D
D
The
farmer
planted
a
number
of
trees
among
those
already
there
when
he
built
the
farmhouse
120
years
ago,
very
tall
furs
as
a
weather
break
to
the
lake,
which
was
visible
from
his
house.
At
that
time,
the
plot
of
land
is
designated
neighborhood,
as
is
the
rest
of
the
residential
part
of
the
village.
D
D
Sadly,
it
contains
the
graves
and
headstones
not
only
of
notable
ancestors
from
the
19th
century,
but
many
very
young
children.
The
villagers
were
horrified
about
development
and
it
was
saved
by
the
reverend
stewart
east,
the
minister
at
islington
united
church.
The
cemetery
was
closed
in
1860
and
is
preserved.
Today.
The
plot
of
land
now
under
threat,
has
nine
one
to
one
and
a
half
story:
homes
on
the
perimeter.
D
They
all
have
large
wooded
yards
at
the
rear.
The
proposed
development
wants
to
destroy
the
entire
woodland
area,
including
all
the
ancient
trees
place.
Five
large
blocks
of
123
three
and
a
half
story
back-to-back
stacked
town
houses,
wiping
out
the
large
canopy
of
trees
and
all
the
unnatural
environment.
It
would
mean
that
possibly
300
people
could
occupy
an
area
that
a
present
house
is
less
than
20.
D
There
are
to
be
no
decks,
no
gardens,
no
green
space,
the
land,
as
has
been
stated
in
the
application
abuts
onto
the
area
that
allows
a
dense
and
entirely
different
development
plan
of
high
rises.
Hence
the
rezoning
application,
but
my
point
here:
it
is
not
in
that
zone.
A
butting
on
to
zoning
is
not
being
part
of
it
and
the
boundary
was
set
there
for
good
reasons.
This
is
not
just
about
keeping
to
the
planning
rules.
D
It
is
about
why
they
are
there
and
why
they
should
remain
in
order
to
protect
historical
neighborhoods,
a
city's
area
of
heritage
and
history,
wherever
it
is,
belongs
to
the
people
and
to
their
ancestors,
who
constructed
and
formed
it.
They
are
the
ones
who
built
this
city
at
areas
we
live
in.
They
should
not
be
destroyed
and
lost
forever.
D
We
have
already
lost
so
much
of
etobicoke
history
and
the
stories
of
the
people
who
endured
and
struggle
to
survive
in
order
to
give
us
what
we
have
a
beautiful
and
a
great
place
to
live,
and
we
have
seen
the
destruction
of
old
buildings
in
downtown
toronto
almost
totally,
and
it
has
been
ignored
that
their
health,
mental
well-being
in
order
to
thrive
human
beings,
require
open
green
space,
trees,
garden
and
clean,
fresh
air.
This
is
something
we
have
learned
so
much
these
days
in
the
times
of
pandemic.
D
D
B
D
B
B
D
B
B
E
B
E
I
appreciate
your
deputation
and
I
just
wanted
to
know
if
you
had
planned
to
continue
the
fight,
because
before
us
is
a
report
that
recommends
refusal,
and
if
this
goes
over
to
the
lpat
for
a
decision
over
to
the
tribunal,
it
leaves
our
hands
and
the
staff
have
commented
with.
I
think
in
a
way
that
reflects
the
community's
sentiment,
that
this
doesn't
match
the
toronto's
official
plan,
and
I
wanted
to
know
because
of
your
artful
discussion
here
with
us
today.
D
D
B
D
B
D
B
N
N
Who
resides
at
54
burnham
crescent,
and
when
you
ask
the
question,
is
the
neighborhood
opposed?
He
is
also
acting
as
a
spokesperson
for
140
residents
in
that
nearby
vicinity.
So
there
is
strong
community
opposition
to
the
proposed
applications
you
have
before
you
miss
gibson
set
out
very
well.
The
impact
of
the
proposed
development
on
the
established
nature
of
this
community
community
council
had
before
it,
of
course,
the
august
20th
2020
staff
report,
which
is
very
close
to
the
proposals.
N
They
run
counter
to
the
provincial
policy
statement
to
the
city
of
toronto's
own
planning
instruments
and
to
the
provincial
growth
plan,
and
community
council
and
councillors,
will
know,
of
course,
that
the
city
has
fairly
recently
implemented
new
policies
to
further
protect
neighborhoods.
To
make
sure
that
development
within
those
neighborhoods
is
compatible.
N
N
So
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
my
client
and
the
people,
he
is
speaking
on
behalf
of
to
request
the
community
council
adopt
the
staff
recommendation
that
the
applications
not
be
supported
and
that
the
city
appear
at
el,
pat
in
complete
opposition
to
those
applications
with
the
appropriate
city
style.
Thank
you.
B
B
The
proposal
would
stabilize
the
character
and
the
staff
of
the
established
neighborhood
and
set
a
negative
precedent
for
future
development
in
the
neighborhood
and,
as
such,
staff
for
opinion
proposes,
current
form
does
not
represent
good
planning
and
is
not
in
the
public
interest.
So
I
know
you
stand
by
that.
Can
you
add
anything
else
to
that?
This
is
not
even
close
in
planning's
mine
to
being
approved.
M
To
the
chair
that
is
correct,
this
is
just
to
clarify
an
official
plan
amendment
as
well.
I
know
it
was
referenced
as
a
rezoning,
but
it
is
in
fact,
as
well
an
official
plan,
amendment
and
zoning
by
law,
amendment
application
and
it
is
not
in
keeping
with
the
character
of
the
residential
established
neighborhood.
M
B
B
Seeing
none
I'll
just
speak,
I
will
I
will
move
the
staff
recommendations.
We
had
a
a
number
of
meetings
on
this
with
the
community
and
you
heard
from
our
planner
nicole,
like
this
is
not
even
close,
so
I'm
going
to
be
moving
the
staff
recommendations
and
sending
staff
up
to
lpat
and
we'll
be
working
with
the
community
to
defend
the
planning's
position
again.
This
is
not
even
close.
B
B
M
M
M
M
We
updated
three
years
ago
and
we
kept
the
same
footprint,
the
same
plants
and
basically,
we
updated
the
pebbles
to
pavers
the
lilacs
that
surround
our
property
are
at
least
50
years
old.
According
to
our
neighbor
who've
lived
next
door
to
us.
For
decades
we
did
replace
the
rose
of
sharon
tree,
which
was
dying,
and
that
was
at
the
front
of
the
property
and
in
its
place
we
put
a
an
eastern
redbud
tree,
which
is
absolutely
beautiful.
M
B
E
A
E
M
O
O
We
did
not
know
at
the
time
when
we,
when
we
did
that
we
just
we
had
remodeled
the
house,
and
so
once
we
had
done
that,
like
the
landscape
was
all
like,
there
was
nothing
there.
It
was
all
dirt
and
unfinished
stuff
so
because
we
had
pavers
and
stuff.
We
did
not
know
that
we
were
encroaching
on
the
transportation
portion
of
the
of
the
bylaws.
E
O
O
So
we
did
not
know
that
there
was
a
zoning
issue
or
anything
with
that
until
they
came
through
and
told
us,
oh,
you
know
you've
already
added
landscaping
and
things
like
that,
because
we
were
trying
to
close
out
our
previous
permit
and
then
they
came
through
and
says:
oh
you're
not
allowed
to
park
there
or
you're
not
allowed
to
have
a
parking
pad,
and
that
was
the
first.
We
learned
of
zoning.
E
And-
and
you
understand-
I
guess
the
last
part
of
the
report
that
stands
out
to
me
as
a
counselor
is
that
it
it
says
that
there's
some
there's
some
concerns
with
the
the
the
sight
lines.
If
I
recall
in
the
report
near
the
end
of
the
driveway,
so
when
you're
backing
out
of
that
parking
pad
or
the
driveway
and
you
know
someone's
walking
or
on
a
bike-
and
you
know
there
might
be
a
there-
might
be
a
danger
there
and
would
you
would
you
agree
that
that's
a
fair
assessment.
M
Well,
we've
been
living
here
for
24
years
and
you
can
actually
like
when
we're
pulling
out
of
the
driveway
we
can
see
through,
like
it's,
not
a
complete
blind
spot
and
the
trees
have
been.
We
actually
shortened
the
one
that
was
in
the
front
by
replacing
it
with
the
eastern
red
bud,
because
the
ones
that
were
there
for
the
last
20
plus
years
we're
even
taller
and
we've
never
had
any
concerns
from
neighbors
we've.
I
mean
it's
a
it's
a
dead
end
street.
E
B
B
H
O
No,
we
have
not
the
only
complaint
we
had
was
we
tried
to
after
we
did
the
new
build.
I
tried
to
retrieve
my
money
from
the
transportation
for
the
road
damage
and
that's
where
all
this
started,
and
then
they
came
by
and
said
that
you
know
you
had
no
landscaping
on
your
original
plans
and
so
then
we
had
to
resubmit
plans
and
go
by
and
then
all
that's
when
they
decided
to
they
came
by
and
did
the
inspection
and
stuff.
B
B
H
H
B
H
B
Yeah
so
I
saw
I
saw
the
picture.
Unfortunately,
we
can't
get
it
up
on
the
screen
here,
but
the
I
guess
I
call
them
the
the
rocks
that
come
along
the
edge
of
the
street
and
then
there's
a
huge
foliage
there.
That
kind
of
does
block
the
neighbor.
I
guess
I'm
looking
at
the
house
on
the
on
the
left-hand
side.
B
B
H
A
H
B
Okay
and
the
extender
walkway,
so
that's
parking
pads,
are
illegal
in
etobicoke,
correct,
correct,
yeah,
okay.
So
if
I
move
to
approve
the
appeal
of
the
extended
walkway
and
deny
the
appeal
of
the
retaining
wall
vegetation,
you
know
what
that
motion
meant.
You
would
know,
and
you'd
go
to
direct
the
applicants.
What
to
do
that
motion's
good
enough.
Any
other
wording
I
would
need
in
there.
H
H
E
I
don't
know
if
they
got
the
direction
from
their
client
or
not,
but
it
doesn't
look
like
they
went
and
got
the
permit
to
do
the
landscaping
in
the
front
and
that
would
have
resolved
it
right
away.
So
I'll
put
a
plug-in
for
marco's
team.
Normally
you
go
in
with
some
drawings,
you
say:
can
I
do
this
and
I'll
tell
you
yes
or
no
before
you
do
it,
so
they,
the
residents,
obviously
weren't
told
that
they
had
to
go.
Do
that
or
they
didn't
know.
E
It's
still
not
legal
and
you
can't
park
in
front
of
your
house
that
way
and
not
even
council,
can
approve
that
the
the
homeowners
would
need
to
stop
parking
there
and
use
the
full
length
of
their
driveway
or
they
have
to
go
to
the
committee
of
adjustment
and
whether
or
not
that
sidewalk
remains
as
it's
configured
as
soon
as
you
park.
The
car
on
that
pad.
It's
no
longer
legally
able
to
be
parked
there
and
they
would
be
subject
to
enforcement.
E
And
if
the
complaint
came
from
a
neighbor,
you
can
bet
that
another
complaint
will
continue
to
come
for
parking
in
the
front
yard.
So
we
can't
fix
that
today
and
my
advice
to
the
residents
if
they
were
still
able
to
hear
the
audio
on.
This
call
is
that
they
should
they
should
tackle
that
problem
and
know
that
you
can't
fix
that
easily
in
etobicoke.
If
you've
got
a
single
width
driveway,
it
needs
to
be
single
wide.
E
B
B
There's
no
there's
no
argument
that
they've
done
a
beautiful
job
on
the
front
of
the
house,
but
it's
kind
of
I've
never
heard
of
the
encroachment
house
going
up
to
the
front
of
the
house.
So
with
that,
I
think
there
is
a
big
safety.
If
you
look
at
that
picture
and
having
those
rocks
right
on
the
roadside,
so
you
know
there's
a
snowfall.
B
Whatever
people
put
people
out
into
the
road,
I'm
going
to
ask
that
to
be
removed,
I'm
going
to
work
with
the
applicant
and
was
with
staff
like
I
said,
I'm
gonna
allow
for
the
extended
walkway,
but
they
do
have
to
remove
that
retaining
wall
off
the
road
and
then
work
to
get
those
that
greenery
down.
So
there's
a
sight
lines
there.
It
is
a
safety
issue
and
we
have
complaints.
Staff
are
acting
on
complaints
also.
B
So
with
that,
I
hope
that's
going
to
be
a
good
compromise,
but
I
will
work
with
mrs
vino
and
the
applicant
to
come
to
a
good
solution.
Hopefully,
but
again,
as
councilor
holliday
stated
front
yard
parking
pads
are
not
permitted
in
etobicoke
and
they're
very
hard
to
get.
If
you
could
even
get
it
at
the
community
adjustment,
I
wouldn't
recommend
going
that
route,
but
if
we
work
with
the
transportation
staff
further,
because
I
know
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
this
file.
So
unless
you
support
that
and
with
back
my
motion,
I.
G
B
B
A
B
D
B
A
facility
in
new
etobicoke
civic
center
staff
asked
me
that
this

the
new

everybody
okay
