3232 boulevard cafe: permit application, 165, Giri Avenue, there's a speak here: Dustin Jones mr. Jones. Please come forward, sir.

A

F

N

A

Sir good morning of five minutes there.

N

Was two different reports for action? The one I'll just read briefly: municipal licensing in standards received information and concerns for the operational conduct in regards to the issued business license and its compliance with applicable zoning I just wanted the point out. We've already gone through our zoning review. The building permits closed for change of use. I'm, not sure why this issues being brought up.

N

I, don't know if it has to do with our menus. They didn't really state, but we we are operating. We have snacks, we have a menu. The other issue they've brought up is, is the patio a couple issues on one of the touch on they?

N

The MLS is stating that there's only one point: five, two meters of clearance in our drawings and if you look at the drawings, clearly shows that we've set back the patio to allow the proper clearance at two point, one: three meters, the only area- that's an obstruction, is a utility pole. That's that's already there. If the patio doesn't go through, they'll still be the exact same obstructions on this sidewalk and those are the two issues I wanted to touch on. Okay, questions.

A

Questions personal question: yeah the.

F

Money, thank you for coming down is just for clarification purposes, so you had a brewery. Yes, that's doing operation for some time, yeah and in the past you have had a number of events. Public events there yeah that you have requested through the clerk to get permission or it correct. Yes and I did all check to it and I asked you'd just to to talk to the community and to get a petition in terms of their support. Yeah. We went through that. That's.

N

Correct yeah, we went through that and we had amazing support from the community. This this whole process is us trying to get our full liquor license right now we hold a different sampling license, which we've been abiding by these rules and I think there might be confusion, yeah I'm, getting to that actually.

F

Yeah yeah so so find them. So the brewing everything is in in terms of and same time, so legalities as it pertains to zoning. You have the licenses that I require correct.

N

Yeah we have we've been approved by the city already as a brewery and an eating establishment. That's already been done with.

F

Our core, this sampling part, and you also have permission from their calling gaming too correct.

O

F

So, what's before us today is to have that you want the patio license to be able to to serve something that you've been already allowed through the sampling. Partly they are calling gaming correct.

N

Right now, I can only serve 12 ounces at a time the AGCO, because they don't speak with the municipality, is approved everything already when we change into a full liquor license. That's where we need approval for the patio I will.

F

Be putting something similar to what's happening with other breweries and in the junction or awesome time as well. That's part of the new culture, yes,.

N

F

You receiving your check-ins from the community as he relates to the to the serving sorry.

N

Negative feedback from them have.

F

You receive any objections or.

N

Objections, absolutely none. No okay,.

F

So there is an issue now in terms of the restaurant aspect. Yes, and have you had any discussions with city staff as it relates to the zoning aspect in terms of having a restaurant that may not be in compliance with the other aspects in terms of the sampling in the brewery.

N

We we've been working with our local health or our local health and food rep and everything's been passed. We're working on adding a few items to the menu just to make sure that we're in compliance with everything, there's been open. Communication and everything.

F

With the serious tab, have you had discussions on that specific aspect of the restaurant part as it relates to the zoning provisions and compliance with that? Yes,.

N

Yeah or maybe a misunderstanding uh part of the application and the the zoning approval was for it to be an eating establishment and we are serving food right now. It's just maybe the menu isn't the size that it's expected, but we are working on expanding that menu right now, I might be missing. You.

F

Know there is sort of complexity in terms of these sonam provisions, as it relates to the other permits that you have in that setting I'll be asking questions to city staff from that perspective and I think that is a bit of a problem there. Now, if you were to have a restaurant component within your business, you may have to go through there to seek a variance via committee of adjustment to get that part as well. Did you have any discussions with city staff as it relates to that.

N

No I, just we got our eating establishment license. We went and got approved. That was all I like so.

F

You have a license for them.

N

Yeah I have the license right here.

F

That was not the issue. This.

N

Was issued printed, March 14 2018 eating establishment with a license for refreshment form, how many people, it's just from the Toronto municipal licensing standards office. Thank.

F

You yeah is nothing the questions. Jim thank.

N

A

They are here. Okay. Is there any further speakers to this item, seeing none questions of staff, culture, Pilate, Oh, Thank,.

F

You, mr. chairman,.

F

With my name's to try a good to come here, and you hear the questions that I ask the applicant and with regards to this business I'm just going by memory now in terms of there has been a number of applications coming to this community cancel the cap permission to have the brewery business there. Is that correct? That's correct! That's in compliance with zoning with the.

I

Manufacturers used as a permitted use there, so the brewery would be a manufacturing use. Yes, in.

F

Terms of the sampling product, even though that's under the alcohol in gaming jurisdiction, they have a license for that as well for the sampling they.

I

Have a license for serving of refreshments? Yes,.

F

Do you is there any concerns that have been brought to your attention in terms of.

F

Complaints from the community I'm.

I

Now aware of any complaints from the community in regards to this, no in.

F

Terms of the patio license now, I read the report and within the report we're talking about accessibility there. Are you aware that, most of here we have in your special in the southern part, we don't have sidewalks and wherever we have it between bar late, for example, in that rain straight, you have literally one single ramp in deserves all the commercial establishment.

F

Commercial is large.

E

F

Establishments where there is literally no sidewalk, and so my question to you is if we don't have that sense of continuing in terms of public access.

F

Why is an issue for this party license just in the little corner? I'm just trying to understand. I know that there is a hydro pole there. So.

I

With respect to the required clear width of two point, one, seven meter or two point: one: three meters, that's a requirement: that's in the bylaw: it's it's from transportation services with respect to maintaining a minimum, pedestrian, clear width. They measure the sidewalk width. So even though there may be a paved portion adjacent to the sidewalk providing more width, the actual measurement is for the sidewalk. This area originally went built. The sidewalks were for a different type of use. Other areas where we have more of a commercial use.

I

They do have the the wider sidewalks and by default. So our reports just reflecting the fact that, technically speaking, the required clear width as per the bylaw has not provided recognizing that there is that paved portion. They are showing a clear width between the curb and the boundary to the patio would meet that clear width, but just our reports reflecting technically what the bylaw states given.

F

The location, the physical location as it relates to other parts of Gary Avenue as it relates to other business along Washington and the junction as well.

F

All these blue areas tend to be the trend, and there is quite a bit of support from local communities. In your opinion, do we still think that's providing them with a party license to to serve the patrons? Is a problem and not I'm, not referring to the restaurant part and just the simple impart I really.

I

Can't speak to that council. That's not my jurisdiction or expertise. That's.

F

Fair, do you have any concerns that that.

F

Why the party license should not be so.

I

The big the fundamental concern counselor is the use and, listening to the deputy, also explain that they're looking to spend their menu and provide more food options that would meet the definition of a restaurant and the restaurant use in this zone is not permitted. So that's our fundamental concern is not necessarily with the physical configuration of the proposed patio. It's. The use of a restaurant is not permitted in this zone. I'm.

F

Dealing with and we are dealing with a perilous application, so I want to just to explain those two, because we have two components there, but.

I

It's difficult to permit a patio which is a big.

F

Heavy licensed or.

I

F

I think multiple teams- that's.

I

For serving of refreshments, that's a subcategory of that, so the license was for refreshments, which goes with that tasting room with the as we understood it. The tasting provisions, not as an actual eating establishment. Mr. chairman and part of the challenge, unfortunately, is the city's licensing by law and our definitions in the city's zoning bylaw those uses those definitions, don't always align so the book. The fundamental use, though, of a restaurant there cannot is not allowed under the current zoning bylaw. Provisions of variance to that bylaw would be required. Perhaps so.

F

It seems that there is some confusion there in terms of the issuance of that license as he relates to whatever is there serving there? Would that be first I know.

I

What they were given permission for and what the actual even what's occurring. There may be two different things so when they applied for their license for refreshments, it was for the serving of liquid, the the serving of the beers, but now that's expanded to serving of foods and again the depe dense at bulk about expanding their menu, their food items. So that's expanding the use into more of a restaurant type of use. So.

F

If I was to approve with these license, which I'm very inclined to do that, because I think that's what brings life had a vitality to these areas if there was a condition there, that needs to be clarified, as it relates to the Trump our today. Would that be fair to before? Where.

I

I'd like to consult with my colleagues in legal and trial building about that.

F

Thank you. No further questions. I.

E

Just wanted to completely understand the issue with you, I guess it's the utility pole.

A

E

You chair, can you hear me okay now I can.

N

E

Could you just help me understand what the objection was to the utility pole like I'm, looking at the plan here and I just wondered if there's a way that the the patio can be configured to make it work I.

I

Would say, deputy mayor that the the clearance, the 2.13 clearance- thank you to that utility pole is really not what we would say a concern. We were identifying technically speaking, it doesn't comply, but practically speaking, you know. We can't obviously move that utility pole right and if the patio was to terminate maybe a little bit shy of the utility pole, then we that would be it.

E

And then it would technically meet the by a lot but I note from the photos and from the diagram that there's actually a concrete planter with that cerb between the utility pole in the building, which is actually the adjacent building. So it's not even within the control of the applicant.

E

So, although technically it doesn't meet the requirements practically speaking, even if it did, you can't pass over the concrete curb so there, okay, so I think I get you I think the report says that it technically doesn't meet it, but we have to apply some judgment in this case. That's correct! Thank you very much.

A

Any further questions seeing none. Thank you mark any further speakers to the item.

A

3232 any further speakers.

A

F

Thank You mr. chairman I'm, going to approve yeah I, have a motion that will prove the party license.

A

No staff just Carter's right yeah. It's.

F

Very simple and it not speak to the item.

F

These are the locations showing them, so they all cancel and that that's actually doing a wonderful service for the community as a whole in terms of revitalizing in terms of vibrancy in terms of ringing people to the community, and it's something that is City Council as a whole, actually pretty much ensue. Problem relates to to these breweries that my colleague to there to elect controls and to say it has in the junction and and mainly on awesome as well is.

F

These are the reasons that there is a tremendous appetite within the local community to go to this places now. I have broad recommendations as it relates to this location in terms of enforcement in the past, and I have attended of functions with city staff from his palace in seen and I've been. There are one two three o clock in the morning. Just paying attention see what's happening, it was any any problems and this location was didn't.

F

Have I didn't receive one complaint from communities hall now that section of the patio that are requesting the way it is, is it's a nice on it's a place? That's collecting literally garbage it's really awful and to allow some sort of value there. That's going to enhance the existing business, that's going to enhance the community as well, and and that's a good thing to do. That's a good thing to have one way of saying this is more business. Thank you for coming here.

F

Thank you for bringing good business to the area and, and that's one, a very simple reason for me just to to approve this application because it makes so much sense. The aspect of that relates to the restaurant part and I'm sure that cities that they're going to follow up on that.

F

If there is no compliance and I'm sure that the property owners will be served with some sort of knowledge, so violation compliance entering them into compliance, but as far as the parties concerned for the sampling part, you like to ask for your support, because that's a good thing to do. Thank you. Any.

Request for interim directions: 150 Symes Road zoning bylaw application to remove the holding. We have a speaker, Kathryn Lyons good morning. Miss lines welcome! Thank you. It.

P

Is a real pleasure for me to be here 30 years ago, my mother retired, as an Etobicoke council, council or anyway it. It hasn't, changed a lot but I'm very happy to be back I'm here on behalf of science bridge, which is the owner of 150 signs and the two tenants they're. The signs, which is an event venue and Junction brewery, which is a craft brewery, and the application is to lift a holding zone to allow two outdoor patios I just wanted to bring it.

P

I have a couple of photos that I'd like to show you. If I may.

P

This is what the Symes looks like looked like when my client bought it about five years ago, and he worked with heritage preservation, services and the local councillor and has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in this. This old industrial building that was formerly owned by the City of Toronto, actually.

P

And this is what it looks like today. The event venue space if I could show just quickly show you.

P

Is looks like that, it's it's just an astounding premesis and it has gone from a utterly abandoned, beautiful heritage, industrial building to this, this wonderful venue in the community and it's on a site that is between the residential community and the industrial community.

P

So the zoning bylaw that's in place now requires a no noise and odor study before a patio would be permitted an outdoor patio and that is to ensure that the operation of the industries nearby are not at all interfered with as a result of these patios. So the noise study is done and it was signed off by the city heritage preservation. Services have signed off on the patio, and an odor study was done.

P

The city's peer review commented that the odor study was done in March and, to be honest, it was a chilly day in March not a likely day that anyone would be on a patio and the peer reviewers suggested that four seasons of odor studies should be completed. I think there's an understanding with your planning staff that four seasons for an outdoor patio doesn't make sense, as no one will be out there in the winter, for example.

P

So we went out and had another odor study done and and the worst possible day was chosen, meaning the worst case. It was a hot day which is the worst case for odors, and it was a Monday which is the day that most of the industries in the neighbourhoods fire up, and so the odors are at their worst.

P

That study conclude, and that was just done in early June. That study concluded that there was no indication that localized fugitive odors from Bank brothers would cause an odor impact at either of the two patios proposed at the 150 science building. So while they did find some odors at Bank brothers, they were within 10 meters of the open doors and they did not.

P

The conclusion of the expert was that it would not at all impact the the two outdoor patios that are proposed, so the patios have been very carefully sited to shelter them from the nearby industry. One of them is on the rooftop and it's setback you wouldn't be able to see it and the other one is behind the building at the ground floor. That's the the one for the brewery, so one of the things that was important to the city was that we communicate with the nearby industries. Our clients went out and knocked on.

P

Their doors spoke to them, sent them letters. No concerns were raised and in fact the bank brothers has written a letter indicating that they're not opposed to the outdoor patios. Our client has made a commitment to meet with the industrial owners in the neighborhood no less than once a year to continue to be sure that they can happily coexist together.

P

Google came to town in June for a week, and this is the venue they booked. It was glorious weather and they couldn't go outside. There's a real need for a patio here for the two patios and our clients are very excited about it. It's a great addition to these buildings. People went they have when weddings. Here people pose in front of this beautiful industrial facade they're outside for their wedding photos, but they can't go outside on a patio, so I think that the time is appropriate.

P

Now the odor studies in the noise studies been signed off heritage preservation. Services has already signed off that it would be appropriate to support the removal of the H for the two patios in the specific locations. Those are my submissions, man.

A

Thank you very much, sir right on five minutes. Bang. Thank you. Any questions. I do have a real quick one. So this is the old stockyards and you said you're in between the business and the resident. That's that Residential's relatively new. It's.

P

An older residential neighborhood behind a more established neighborhood behind yes, well I'm, gonna, say in front the science road takes a turn yeah in two different directions and on one side what I would call behind is more established and then in front is newer. The new.

A

Residential, do you know if they had required a motor study for the residential one that was built I'm.

P

Not sure that they did at the time, because there were subsequent concerns that perhaps that would have been a wise idea and those issues had to be resolved after the fact, instead of before the fact, which is what we've done here, we've managed to cite these patios, where there wouldn't have to be a any any order issues.

P

So we've done the and.

D

I, don't think.

P

One was required for.

G

P

And I don't think it's been required for other outdoor patios in the city new requirement. It would be terrible for the city w.

A

A holiday question.

E

Thank You mr. chair, thank you for speaking to us. Can you just clarify who are all the tenants in the building? Yes,.

P

There's two tenants: one is a event: venue called the Symes and the other is the junction brewery.

E

What is the split of the building? Can you can you, like? Is the brewery most of it, half of it? Less than half the.

P

Brewery is the smaller of the two tenants, I'm gonna say it's 25% of the building. Okay,.

E

And is it all one story with no, it's two. It's two stories.

P

Yes, so where's the brewery at the top of the bed at the bottom, at the back at.

E

The back and then so the event space is the rest of it. There's no vacant space, there's no vacant space and it's the event space that wants to have the patio both.

P

Of them do it's two patios one of the rear at ground level for the brewery and one up at the second floor, roof level setback for the event space, okay,.

E

So the city routine, it says in the report, the city retain Golder, associates, I, guess to peer review. Your order, study mmm and Golder essentially said in a bunch of bullet points that they wanted to see more and on the first one being the surrounding facilities, not just limited to the bank brothers have the potential to impact the proposed patios at the property. It goes on with some other things, including some some reference to more meteorological conditions, which I think you talked about being more seasons, yes, but other than what you've told us.

E

Do you have anything else to say about that? They, you know what am I supposed to think. If the city's consultant is saying we're not happy with what we've seen well.

P

Not in in my respectful submission I, don't think that the Golder was was given the appropriate instructions, because the test in the zoning bylaw is very clear. It's to focus on Glenn Scarlett Road, but the odor study did involve so how older studies work is that you walk around the neighborhood and if there is an odor, that's detectable you take measurements. There were not odors detectable other than on Glenn Scarlet Road.

P

So that's where the focus of the study was one of the recommendations, for example, of the city's peer reviewer was that they consider the two new breweries that have come to the neighborhood. Well, one of them is the tenant. So obviously there's going to be that there's an awareness that there's a brewery there and that if you're going to a brewery, I'm assuming you're not objecting to the odor of the suds Four Seasons, for example, that would make sense if we were proposing a residential neighborhood.

P

What we're proposing is an outdoor patio, sir, so I think what Golder did is. It did a typical review, based on the introduction of a sensitive use, as it's defined under the Environmental Protection Act, as opposed to focusing on the outdoor patio and the specific requirements of the zoning bylaw. So.

E

Why not just get the consultants to update the reports and save all the trouble? Well.

P

We did we, the consultant, went out to do a June measurement and has submitted it to the city and that's an update of the report. Okay, thank.

A

You thank you, sir. Thank you seeing no further questions. Thank you very much any further speakers to the item before brittany. Any further speakers of 3211 you're good. Thank.

P

You, sir, thank you.

A

Members of council seeing none questions of staff, seeing none we'll take a question. Questions of staff, councillor holiday.

E

So I just I, wanted to digest between the report and the speaker. Is there still outstanding issues with the Oder report? Well,.

C

Through three years of chair, where we are, is the speaker's quite right that there was a recent report that was submitted to staff. If you look on page 13 of the staff report, it was the date of the report. Itself was June 22nd.

C

Also, the the communication strategy was submitted on June 27th. That was last week. I think my memory serves the challenge that we find is where we are in the cycle of council. If we were a month out from now, we may be a very well in a position to say yes, but where we are right now is we are saying that that our peer reviewer has not had the opportunity to thoroughly look through the second submission, which is why our recommendation is at this time.

C

We would, if, if we're pushed to make create an answer on it, the answer is we don't have enough information, so we would be forced to say no at this time. So that's why the recommendations are clearly stated that way. It says at this time again. If we were a month to two months out, we might be in a completely different place, but given where we are in the council cycle and what we thought was the the need to report out. This is why it's a request for interim direction.

C

If you remember I mentioned this to community councilor, our last meeting that, in reaction to the bill, 139 changes you'll be seeing reports like this about interim directions when council isn't sitting. So that's why the reports in front of you, the basic bottom line, is I, think we're okay with the notion of the patios, but our peer review has not had a chance to take a look at the second submission of material. Today, okay, we believe it's somewhere in the range of three weeks out, or so we talked to them yesterday. So.

E

Other than that particular odor report and the communication strategy, were there any other issues, the.

C

Well, speak for the planner, but the noise issues have been addressed and those were those were the three things that were the the removal of the H is based on. Thank.

A

You any further questions. I said once Mullen, the new residential that was built there recently I say new. The last presidential was built there was there only studies requested for that. There.

E

A

Not there was not okay. Thank you, Council nuns gotta to speak. Yes,.

D

Thank you, and just on that question not mr. chairman, that new subdivision that was built in front of the stockyards was built and approved for the former city of Toronto. It wasn't. It was before amalgamation. I do I. Have a motion put it on the screen to delete the recommendations in the report in this on the screen. So just do.

A

D

And there it's on the screen.

D

Okay, so delete the recommendations in the report and city counts are determined that the conditions to remove the holding symbol h-has have been satisfied in a men's, owning bylaw, 569 2013 as a man to bylaw number 10, 57, 2014 and bylaw.

D

Do you want me to read all this out and to remove the holding symbol H from the lands and then Etobicoke York me, council, director, director Community Planning, Etobicoke York district to report directly to the July 23rd City Council meeting with the bills necessary for City Council to remove the holding symbol age so on this site? Mr. chairman, this some that this site was the former well with Canada Packers was on st. Claire and then the former City of Toronto, when Canada Packers left fries owned all of st.

D

Clair as a new subdivision in that area. Now this side here 150 signs with declared surplice years ago that site was declared surplus as well as rock lip yards. At the same time, this was when the City of Toronto was consolidating other properties and declaring various properties in the city surplus. Now this one for 150 signs used to be the city of York transfer station.

D

We used there was an incinerator and was, and it was and it be, it was left vacant for many many years and once was declared surplice the thankfully somebody purchased a site, but before the purchase of the site we declared the building heritage.

D

So one of the conditions of the sale of the property is that that building be retained and repurposed for the heritage used and as you can see from the pictures, it's amazing what the owner has done to that building and repurposed the whole building there's an event space where there's weddings events, the city of Toronto's also had events in there as well. The Junction brewery and so there's been millions of dollars had been best invested in that site. So now you know, there's summers approaching the hot weather.

D

There's been a request for the patio for the events Basin for the Junction brewery. We have been working on it for months now and we would like to have the patio open for the summer. You know that's when people want to sit out in the patio as far as the older study well, the stockyards have been there for over 50 years, there's houses that have been built in front of it behind it and so to ask for an older study on an event space for a brewery.

D

I mean it's and to delay this application. It's really really. You know unnecessary and so I'm asking Council to support my my motion and let's move on we're, trying to revitalize the whole Stock Yards area, the Olive st. Clair and when, when an owner, when a business owner comes in and best millions of dollars in an area that has been very depressed over the years for an incinerator and they try, enter and spent all this money to repurpose the building and turn it into something that people want to come to.

D

And then we delay it for a patio license. So I'm asking members of council to please support this and I know that my community, a lot of residents in the area, do attend the event the space and they attend there they're part of that and they love the building. They've been very supportive and when we had the official opening of the Junction brewery, the mayor was there as well. He was very impressed on what was done to that building. Thank You.

A

Councilmember LED councillor.

H

First of all, I want to commend you for all the work that you've done in that area. Over the last number of years, those of us have been around I've actually seen it. You've done a good job with that stuff. You can picture much as you upset me down at Council. Sometimes I do recognize that you do a good job, partly this particular case. I I just have one question and you touched on and that's the smell.

H

We want to put a patio there and it's going to smell, and then you've got all those jobs associated to that that warehouse right. How are you going to ensure that people aren't going to put pressure on them to close down when they run a very valid and valuable business? Because you know that's gonna happen. So how do you? How do you stop that from happening? Because that's going to happen, people are who are sitting on that bar, not patty or gonna, say let's shut down this plant because it smells well.

D

The thing is, is I think that everyone that's going to attend the events base in the brewery. Quite aware that that's the stockyards I mean it's its history like. If you don't know, if you're going to that event, space that where you are, then you shouldn't be there. So.

H

When they, when they come to you and say because the you don't know it's going to visit the patio but and say well, it smells out here. Can you do something about it short of Legally? You can't really shut down the stockyards. No.

D

No, absolutely and I know there are some residents in the area that wished that would like to even when that subdivision was built, former City of Toronto, when people moved in that area, they moved in that area and we're told by we're told by the the Builder is that and I that all the stockyards are going to be gone, which was and true and then they moved in. They moved in when I, when that area became part of my area and they all started to complain what we didn't know.

D

Well, um you know I mean they've, always been there, so I'm sure the City of Toronto when they went through the planning process, they asked for conditions or people were aware of what they bought and where they bought Celtic.

A

Channel the question: I: don't.

B

Know question I just have Common.

A

Council answer the question.

F

F

Custom said I know that once again, that customer believed in order to done an excellent job there and I happened to be very familiar with that areas. Well, when I use an executive assistant to form a council, we we have that area there.

F

So in terms of bring and what's there and given that the whole area has become one of the biggest commercial hubs in the West End of the city in the amount of people that we have in the area, this location, because we can, literally speaking like a place for people to go and have a beer that can staff and they mean for the party, will be fair to say and to that assessment. Yes,.

D

I think so, and I mean it's definitely on the map and I can tell you that the mayor, the mayor, informed me a few weeks ago that he was at a wedding. At this event,.

D

It's very well known, very popular place. Thank.

F

A

Deputy, well, you have a question: do you want to speak? No I have a question. The question W mayor so.

E

If somehow, between now and council, the three weeks something problematic comes up in the peer review of Boulder, will you go back and have another look at the decision.

E

D

Can't see what else could come up and I and what is the issue? You know the stockyards are there there's older and there always has been there has been for years, and people that live in that area and they'll work in that area quite aware of it. So what else can come up so.

E

I I, what I heard from the the director was. You know it sounds like if once a bit of time passes and there's a second peer review, because a bunch of things came in late in the last couple of weeks. This all might be fine and I get that this is the last council meeting. We want to get this stuff straightened out, but if something really bad comes up in in the subsequent review of it, would you take a second look? No.

D

I think that there I don't think anything else will come up and to me, I I think that the approval for the patio should be approved and I can't see anything else coming up, considering on what's happening in that area and I would not reconsider. No.

A

Councillor to channel to speak Thank.

B

You mr. chair I'm, totally in favor of councillor Indiana's motion, I grew up in stockyards. First, family business was there if anyone who drives through that area, you know that odor you recognize that it's ingrained in your brain. The notion that we need to get in the way of the improvements that are happening in the junction here is absurd.

B

Let's just get on with it and continue to make this area of the city an even more exciting place to be and live, and let's approve this thing as soon as possible, because we've got a very busy agenda today.

A

Okay, seeing no further council member lee tried.

H

To talk to rosemary because I I still don't I still am very uncomfortable. What's going to happen because I know what's gonna happen, I think at the very least remember.

A

You've emotional yeah.

H

I'd like to I'd like to move a motion that a legal letter be sent to everybody that that owns property they're just outlining the law around around the around the area and how people aren't going to be able to rezone it because of the smell some kind of a legal letter. That's all just so. It actually protects the local councillor in the future, because when she starts getting the complaints that they want this place shut down. She could just present the letter and say: look everybody's got it.

H

Nobody wants this letter to be handed out. Is that what I'm snow? Nobody wants to do that? No, don't we don't care about the legalities of this stuff? No I do.

A

Okay, so you gonna move that motion yeah.

B

We don't even okay.

A

Count you, okay, so okay, all right! Okay! So it's not a fast! So so counselor Ansley is moving her motion. All in favor a recorded vote counter DiGiorgio counter to set counter plot. Co-Counsel done. Gianna counselor, Grisanti, counselor, Grimes deputy in there Oh counselor, the channel councilmember need counselor camel in opposition counselor Holliday that carries.

A

The intent of his motion counsel families is to send a letter to everybody in the area recorded vote who's in favor of that all in.

H

A

In favor aye, just he hasn't got it prepared, but that's the de Justin it so all in favor, all in favor opposed.

H

How about an intent and in touch yes, clozapine.

A

All favor opposed carried. Let's move on yes, okay,.

D

A

Counselor to channel okay, we're heading back to 32 three final report: 53 65, Dundas, Street, West, zoning bylaw amendment. We will speaker Anthony home ik stomach. Welcome, sir thanks for your patience good morning, go ahead floor George thank.

O

You very much good morning, chair and members of community council. My name is Anthony ho make and I'm a development manager at concert, properties, the owner and the applicant for the site at 53, 65, Dundas, Street West, also known as the Kipp district I'm here with my colleagues, Kelly Wilson and Jennifer Glassford, in support of the application before you so I do have a a copy of our master plan that I'd like to put up and I've, also got copies for everybody. That I can hand around. If it's hard to see.

O

First of all, thank you for allowing me a few minutes to describe the proposal before you today. Thank you to city staff. Who've worked tirelessly to prepare this final report and special thanks to councilor DG anno and his chief of staff Mary Campbell for their unwavering support for those of you who are not familiar with concert. We have a long history of developing owning and managing purpose-built rental apartments in Ontario and British Columbia. In fact, concert is very proud to have developed approximately one-third of all purpose-built rental suites constructed in the city of Toronto.

O

In the last 15 years, we've also been part of the Etobicoke Centre for many years. One kilometer east of the subject site at Dundas and Dunn bluer Road is village gate West concerts first master planned community in Ontario, which consists of nine hundred and forty-eight Suites in five purpose-built market rental buildings, including one of concerts, retirement living communities known as tapestry at concert. We believe in constructing vibrant, sustainable and walkable neighborhoods situated close to transit.

O

The Kip district is ideally located less than a 10-minute walk away from the Kipling subway and go stations and less than a five-minute walk away from the new Metro links. Kipling mobility hub, that's currently under construction concert, is wholly owned by pension funds that value the stability of rental housing. However, current regulatory and market conditions have significantly impacted the financial viability of new purpose-built rental homes.

O

Despite this concert is committed to constructing one of the five proposed buildings at the Kipp district as a purpose-built rental apartment building phase, one of our development received minor variants and site plan approval in 2014, it's currently under construction and ahead of schedule with occupancies commencing next month. This phase includes the construction of Thomas, Riley Road and a thousand square metre public privately owned, publicly accessible pop space along Dundas Street West. This rezoning proposal before you today is four phases.

O

Two and three of the Kip District phase two consists of two buildings: a twenty four storey condominium and a twenty one-story purpose-built rental. Building. That concert will own and operate both buildings incorporate retail spaces at grade and a much improved pedestrian Boulevard along Dundas Street West that implements the high quality six points. Reconfiguration, streetscape, design phase two also proposes a landscape plaza between the buildings and a large central square to the south. That includes another 995 square meter pops.

O

We are proud that our phase two purpose-built rental building was selected as one of the seven inaugural projects approved for the for affordable housing through the city's open-door, affordable housing program and gold star review process. We are committed to helping address, Toronto's, affordable housing crisis by delivering 52 and three-bedroom Suites in this development that are guaranteed. If that guarantee, affordability for 25 years phase, 3 consists of 36 and 30 two-story condominiums and a large landscaped open space to the south, below which a subsurface easement will be granted to the TTC for a future potential.

O

Subway extension, the rezoning proposal before you today simply seeks to redeploy the density approved in 2005, bringing it in alignment with today's urban design principles. One key feature that you will notice when looking at this master plan is the series of interconnected open spaces at grade that converge on a highly programmable Central Square that can accommodate passive recreation and engaging community events.

O

This master plan design has received the unanimous endorsement of the design review panel on two occasions, and it was also honored with the master plan community of the Year award for North America by the National Association of Homebuilders, when complete the Kip district will be a community of approximately 1,500 homes, a vibrant mix of residential and retail uses, and a very significant amount of landscaped open space. We believe the high quality architecture and public realm design, which represents a half a billion dollar investment, will be a valuable contribution to Dundas, Street, West and Etobicoke Centre.

O

We look forward to receiving your approval and commencing construction on phases two and three as soon as possible. Thank you again for your time and we are happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank.

A

You questions, don't remember, need a question. No.

O

H

Oh, my gosh: when did you leave last.

O

H

O

Glass, you.

H

Were doing public realm with the city? That's right! Well,.

O

H

Will you tell me one day when, when you know there's a clear difference between City Planning employees and those that work for the private sector that happens to you, I, don't.

O

Have an answer for you: Thank.

H

A

Councillor Campbell any relevant questions, I mean I'm gonna.

G

There is okay, yes, yes, I think so, there's just under 1,300 parking spaces, how many units in total just shy of 1500. So you get 1,500 units yes and 1300 parking spaces. That's right! So there's a shortage. What happens? Why is it not or not one for one so.

O

The proposal and our transportation analysis has adopted all of the recommendations of the city's current zoning bylaw 5 6 9 2013, so we've incorporated those a zoning, bylaw standards and it's also worth notice noting what I mentioned that it's a 10-minute walk away to the subway station. A go station. What's happened.

G

In the other developments along along Dundas by the Kipling subway, what were the ratios there? Were they 1, 2, 1 or less than 1 to 1 I. Don't have an answer for you. I can't tell you. Oh wait. I'll, wait, no staff that so there's the visitor parking there.

O

Is a significant amount of visitor parking that meets and exceeds the requirements of citywide zoning bylaw 5 6 9 2013 at.

G

5 percent or the 10% or I think it said: 5 percent yeah.

O

Approximately 5 percent- yes.

G

Okay, and where is that parkland? Because this understand this report just landed on our desk like this morning, so all where's, the parkland is a park line close to the tracks or they're close to Dundas or in the middle or the parkland or the.

O

G

O

You refer back to the plan here.

G

It is you're, sorry, okay, so it's it's! All of this linear space is right, adjacent to the to the tracks. There's.

O

Three significant open spaces: there's the Pops part of phase one that's up in the corner. There right.

B

O

Then there's the central open square, which is the pops the face to pops, and then there is a landscaped open. Space adjacent to the tracks is.

G

This all residential or there any mixed-use is there any retail on this side.

O

There is retail in the two buildings that the two buildings that front dentistry West as part of fini.

G

O

G

Much retail will be in there, they are, we talking, you know, nail salons and dry cleaners.

O

There's approximately 6,000 square feet between.

G

Two buildings very.

O

Little um it's gonna animate, the dentistry frontage.

G

Very little very little retail, okay! So sorry! What are you proceeding with what what's the first phase of this phase.

O

One is the northwest corner, building C building C and that's if you drive by it's, it's built, built.

G

It's a beautiful thing: okay, I know, I mean other questions. Thank you. Thank you.

A

Holiday question Thank.

E

You sheriff, can you talk to me a little bit about the noise and vibration mitigation? Member matter? Steps you've built into what you're doing is I noticed that it sits right on the the rail line and there's also an easement or a future TTC line. Yes, so that produces vibration. Tell me how that works. So.

O

For Phase two, which is buildings, D and E, we've submitted to the city and noise review. Our consultants opinion is the fact that phase two is a significant distance away from the rail corridor that there wasn't a need for a vibration study. So we did submit a noise study for Phase two, which is currently with the city and a condition that will be incorporated into the section 37 agreement is that the city's going to peer-review that and we've incorporated or the the consultants report includes recommendations that will be incorporated into the building envelope.

O

Sealable closeable windows, air conditioning and things like that. So.

E

For a and B, though, and I don't phase three phase.

O

Three, a and B we will be submitting another noise and vibration study to the city. That will also be peer, reviewed and that's secured in the section 37 agreements as well. How.

E

Far, does the parking garage go beyond a and B towards the tracks? It.

O

Goes all the way back to the South property line, but there's a significant slope: the site sloped significantly from Dundas towards the tracks. So the majority of the parking garage at the back of the site is actually above great and the subway easement dips below that slightly.

E

So explain how that works. So so, if I'm standing on the on the go rail corridor, I would see a building wall, then not not a landscapes, not that I'm concerned about the view from the tracks. But so I can picture this. It's a it's a wall back.

O

There there is gonna, be a underground parking garage. You will see a wall from the side of the site. Yes, so.

E

Then, where would a future subway go as.

O

I mentioned the subway is going to dip down under the parking garage. Okay, you look at it in a section. The parking garage is like this and the subway is going to go underneath it. How.

E

Many levels of parking is there.

O

Currently, it's two potentially three, the subway.

E

Would have to go down below the third one by the sounds of it. That's.

O

Right and that would all be captured in the easement that we're gonna give to the TTC and also in the zoning bylaw amendment. There is a requirement for a minimum three meter: separation, distance from any potential TTC tunnels and.

E

Then just last question DNA on the front side, because we always hear about LRT s and things that might be going to the right of way instead of a subway.

E

How far does your parking garage go to the face on Dundas Street, the.

O

Parking garage goes approximately to the the dark line that you can see south of the second row of trees. You can see there's a double row of trees on the street scaping.

E

O

It looks like it's a dash line.

E

O

The face of the building and the extent to the underground, okay.

E

There's nothing below that I.

O

Would in the sidewalk in the public space area right.

E

O

E

A

Very much any fruit.

M

O

This used to be Canadian Tire.

M

Okay, any of these units gonna be affordable. Yes,.

O

We, as I mentioned we've, been approved through the city's open door, call for applications, we're going to be delivering 50, affordable units.

M

O

Don't we don't contemplate it at this point? It is a permitted use in the uses in the zoning bylaw amendment. So it's it's possible.

M

Off leash for dogs.

O

We are currently proposing an off-leash dogs area and a pet relief area in Phase. Three, the exact location still hasn't been determined, there's also a pet relief area in the pops in phase one.

A

Counter to George Rhoda question: you.

B

Know Anthony I'm, looking at page 54 and page 55 I can just draw your attention there. I just out of curiosity. There there's a notion of shared parking anticipated in phase 2 and phase 3.

B

Yes, so if you look at the visitor parking spaces, the ratio is point one parking space per unit and then there's a non-residential and then just below it says for purposes of 1082. Of this bylaw residential visitor parking spaces can be shared with and used to meet the parking requirements for non-residential uses. So there is the notion of shared parking between visitor parking and the commercial parking correct.

O

B

You have any idea of the signage that will help accommodate that. That's.

O

Something that will be secured to the site plan approval process will will put up whatever appropriate signage is required to to differentiate the parking and to make sure that people are aware. Okay,.

B

And they need to somehow the signage neat needs to secure the relevant parking ratios.

O

Well, that would be secured through the site plan approval process. Thank.

A

You any further questions see you aunty I just have one: here's um the pops, the privately owned public spaces, yes, phase, one, which is the sea towers, already built correct right, whose response for that pop.

O

The there will be a master, shared facilities, agreement between all five of the buildings, they're, all five- that will speak to the maintenance of the entirety of the cycle.

A

Just will be the C building looking after the pops, it'll be all the five buildings. That's.

O

Right, everybody will have a proportional, it'll, be proportional based on unit sizes and how everybody will have to.

A

How do you convey that in the in the condo docks to these these new orders of de and a and B it's.

O

Explicitly included in the Declaration of purchase, they're the agreement of purchase and sale. That explains what it is and didn't anywhere they're, not in anywhere how it's going to operate and exactly what it is. Okay,.

A

Those are my questions: Thank You, Anthony questions, our staff, counselor Campbell.

G

Just I'm curious: don't.

I

A

G

Know, like I, don't understand how the final report is here. Yet this has been. This is all is already completed. How does this play in the process to me a little bit? I'm sorry, I, don't understand.

C

G

Is it exactly we're approving today it sounds like the like: the development has already been in 2005 right, so.

C

Effectively, what's happened is the the phase. One is underway. It's under construction. There are four more buildings that they're coming forward were was approved in 2005, but, as mr. hammock had explained, what what they want to do and frankly, what staff want to do is change. Some of the built form issues around that to move the density around, so it does require an amendment of the by lot actually creates a better built form on site because of the the buildings are, while they're taller, they're, also slimmer, the shadows move faster.

C

So it's rearranging the density that exists today that council approved in 2005 and.

G

So I know that we've had you know: I've asked the question before I think was one of counselor to Georgio's developments where there were not an equal number of parking spaces for the number of units. What what was commonplace at the other buildings that are over by the Kipling subway in terms of the ratio? Was it a one to one ratio, or you know a unit for parking space or less than a one to one ratio? Well,.

C

I believe we would have to check specifically if you're interested in individual buildings, but my understanding is that, in recognition of the fact that their subway there's go trains, this is this is part of the Etobicoke Centre secondary plan that there are parking ratios that were lower and also reflect the new thinking under five six: nine 2013, the new citywide zoning bylaw, which has parking ratios that represent different areas. For example, parking ratios downtown are lower than they are out here and particularly around the subway stations. So.

G

To put the city planning this what that being said, it would seem to me- and please comment that City Planning doesn't recognize that this is not a particularly walkable area. Dundas is very wide. There's not a lot on the north side of Dundas there's not a lot within walking distance. So what would your reply be to that? Because not everybody just is just gonna hop on the subway every time they need to go someplace.

C

Okay, so my reply to that is that what, with all due respect, counts, are what you're thinking about? Is the current situation right? Try to think about 20 years out about what that area will look like the example I would give. You is, if you would imagine what Yonge and Eglinton would have looked like, say 30 40 50 years ago, and somebody would have said. Oh my god, there's like nothing is ever gonna happen here. It takes time to change mindsets. It takes time to change an urban context.

C

That's what the secondary plan is all about. It's about creating things like the Kipp district, it's like creating the other. The other buildings that are coming forward around this I would think that anybody's vision of this street. Now, if you walk away and then come back in 10 to 15 to 20 years, your mind is just gonna go like this: it will be a completely different environment. The streetscape will be changed each and every one of these individual applications will be changing the sidewalks, the streetscape.

C

There will be trees, there will be pedestrian environments, there will be bicycling through here. So again, what you're thinking about it's nice? Well, that's! That's! Oh, that's a whole intent to putting the secondary plan in place counselors to create that kind of environment. So last.

G

Question is: are these buildings required to have chargers for electric cars? Is there any requirement upon the city or do you know if they've made that sort of provision at.

C

This point in time, I, don't believe it's a mandatory requirement. I know there are some developers who are coming forward and providing some component of that I. Don't believe there are any in this particular one is.

G

That something that can still be discussed between City Planning and oh.

C

Yeah for sure, absolutely again through the chair, I think this is the kind of thing you would have. You would resolve through the site plan application for the individual applications, because you would have to take a look at the parking fields under the building and how you'd be able to set up that arrangement. I think it's a kind of thing will get emerge as as this rolls on good Thank You. Mr.

G

Chair, that's my questions. Those.

A

Are my questions? Thank You councillor Campbell any further questions of staff, counselor, ma'am, aleady, I'm.

H

Sorry so the streets here are the city standard streets where they condo.

H

J

Are not meeting the full dips requirements for the streets? They are privately owned. They are on top of underground parking garages. They do have two full lanes, one in each direction and then lay by parking on Tom, Reilly Road on one side.

H

Don't meet the dip standards, no.

J

H

Recommending this this, this concept in.

J

This case- yes, this particular site- has a site-specific, Official Plan amendment, that's from the previous rezoning that says that, on this particular site, private roads that have public access easements will be deemed to meet the Official Plan requirements of public roads. So that decision was made some time ago for the site through the opie. So.

H

How did that decision get made with, with with city staff, that city staff initially object to to that I? Don't.

J

Know the history from time.

H

Just trying to figure this out because of my area just coincidentally at the end of last year there was a development that was completely opposed by staff because it didn't meet the the dip standards and in this case it's the same planner, that's working for the developer. Now that worked for city staff. That said no absolutely not. We can't do this. Okay,.

A

Well, is it that.

H

That, in one circumstance, dips you can forgive dips and, on another circumstance, you're supporting debt, the the issue of them not complying with dibs, okay,.

C

I will jump in on this one through you, mr. chair, so what Elise is saying is that the approval in 2005 was given by counsel for private roads with public accessibility, good stuff. We agree with it. If you not none of the staff who are here before you today were here in 2005, so we will have to go back and check and we can. We can get that love an answer to that question.

H

Because but you also, you can appreciate that that the the what happened in the case of Islington and Muir, it was staff who said absolutely not we're not supporting this and because it breaks.

C

Dibs you're quite right, counselor, but it just wasn't. If you recall it just wasn't the dips. The dips was one issue was the built form. It was the building setbacks. It was, though, the the width of the lots. There was a whole range of issues around that Islington proposal. Dips was a large part of it. It absolutely was so yes count, sir, if you're interested in that after.

H

Stopped for okay, with breaking the dips policy back in 2005 other.

C

The other thing is councillor, I will check as well, but my recollection is: dips came in around 2007 2008, because I was a manager in North York at the time. So this may predate dips, but we will get that information for you, I'm just flabbergasted.

H

The staff would be okay with breaking dips even today, when there's so many developers that have said that the staff are absolutely never supporting breaking the dips policy, but yet on this one we are I'm, he's gonna check it. Let.

C

Me be clear counselor if we had our druthers. We would not do this in the way it was done, but it was council that did it in 2005 as a public road as a private road with public access easements so we're we don't have the ability to go back and undo that decision. If we were redoing that decision today, I don't believe we would do that decisions.

H

Not the decision in 2005 it's the decision today, you're still supporting it well,.

C

It's under construction councillor and it's a right that they have in hand. We typically don't go and undo people's rights in hand unless they ask for it. Alright,.

H

Don't don't shoot the messenger I'm just saying? Okay, a lot of the developers that are upset that staff are not. They don't budge around dips. Okay, any further question applications go through. It's a wonder. They get frustrated.

A

No further questions. Okay, thank you. I forgot that has any previous speakers to the item. No seeing the uncounted a channel to speak, Thank You mr. chair finally,.

B

Okay, very very happy. This I do I have two very long motions motion. 1A has been worked on diligently with my office, City Planning and the applicant. It's two pages long. It's so you want those 1b. First, let's do one a motion. 1A.

B

And it's B should I be reading all these out. It's four pages.

B

Motion 1a again speaks to basically definitions within the report with respect to height, putting a number on the residential units that are permitted and.

B

Basically, talking about setbacks as well, that is motion. 1A staff do agree with this as they've been working diligently with my office and the applicant and then motion 1b basically speaks to construction staging areas for the applicant on a section of the pop that exists today. So I'm hoping I'm glad that I want to thank staff. The applicant for working I, don't know how many meetings on this particular site over the last four years, but I'm happy to see that building C has been built.

B

It looks beautiful and, as part of the, the improvements have done that Street coming along I think we're all gonna be happy to see these two new buildings come forward. So I hope everyone can support those two motion.

A

Thank you count you to channel any further speakers to the item. Seeing none counter to channels motions are on the screen so we'll take. Is it 1-1, a1 b1? Anyone take one 8 all in favor pose carried on 1b all in favor opposed carried clause amended all in favor opposed carried. Okay.

A

Just before we go to nine I'd like to recognize a special guest, we have mr. Paul Bedford, our former chief planner in Sidi Toronto, hiding there in the second row, welcome Paul.

A

Okay, thirty-two nine final report: ten will be present: zoning bylaw une application. We have a number of speakers, Heather Tremaine mr. main, thirty-two nine.

A

Heather here well she's, here, yeah.

L

A

Morning, welcome. Thank you for your patience. You have five minutes. Thank you.

L

So I wanted to become the half of the application.

A

L

Options for homes is the developer of the project and we're very excited to be coming to Weston. We we've been looking at this neighborhood for quite some time and really see the potential of this neighborhood, and we know it's a priority neighborhood within the city. We we see that it's already a vibrant community and it's our hope that we'll be able to improve, bringing and some assets to to the community and its revitalization I think as you'll see in the application before you. The proposal is for 233 units of affordable ownership.

L

It's I won't go into the details of the kind of planning of the building, but it is as we it's a affordable ownership project. So the idea is that we want to provide opportunities for people who live in that community to become owners to have security of tenure to be to be able to grow an age in their community. The building is largely a family oriented building.

L

The majority of the units are two and three-bedroom I think we've probably exceeded any other building in the city of Toronto in terms of the number of three-bedroom units that we're providing we've.

L

Also, it's also going to be a consumer class building, so we have policies that will kind of address the kind of consumption of cannabis in the building and indeed, really focused on that kind of community building and the family building and one of the things I think that we will bring to this community we've we've worked in the junction we've worked in the distillery, we've often been kind of the early developers into a new community, and it's our hope that we will also that this building will begin the start of some additional development in that community.

L

We know that there's an art skate building with Rockport a rental building, but we know that this we are often, as someone described us, the kind of ones the Starbucks when they arrive and start to create the the energy of revitalization and that's what our hope is to do on this project.

L

We also one of the parts of the project is that the idea is to turn what was a kind of existing piece of road into a parkland again to deliver more assets, the community, the closing of the road, an opening of a park that will serve not only this building but the larger community and also, in the longer term, provide access down to the river.

L

So that's really what I wanted to say is that it is really our desire to kind of become to enter into the community and be good neighbors and bring assets to the community, including a number of people who will who will gonna utilize, the retail along Western Road and be part of the revitalization of the community. So thank you.

A

Heather one sec, I'm, sorry question by the deputy mayor.

E

Thanks for speaking to us, you said something that intrigued me. You said something about smoke, less policies and I. Guess in anticipation of cannabis, could you tell me a little more of it? It's not in the report, so I'm interested yeah.

L

In the condo bylaws, what we've done is we've said that the building will be smokeless, so you can people will be able to use e-cigarettes and they're in the building or they can vape cannabis, but they can't smoke it. So the idea is, we want to produce the amount of smoke, migration between units sure and it's I mean in general, in the public space of a building you can't smoke, but in in your units themselves people won't be able to smoke in a conventional way. What.

E

About tobacco, tobacco.

L

They'll use e-cigarettes, so it's again it's a less kind of invasive form of smoking and.

E

So that goes into the condo declaration.

L

Yeah, so people know right up front. That's what they're purchasing right.

E

Have you seen this elsewhere I'm intrigued.

L

By this one, okay, we- nobody else- has done this yet, but we're trying to get ahead of the legislation. That's coming down the pike on.

E

It and can people smoke tobacco or other substances outdoors like on a balcony or that's. Oh, oh, so that's common element, I guess it's.

L

Not common element, but but in the same way as your unit is not a common element, so these are. There are restrictions in the private spaces in the building. Okay,.

E

So so, if you wanted to smoke traditional tobacco or cannabis and by burning it.

L

E

Have to leave the property yeah.

L

E

L

Surveyed, we have a wait list of 7,000 people got.

E

L

90% of the people were interested in this actually, and we now have other projects that are completing and people would like us to retro actively change the bylaws, which we can't do so. If.

E

Would you be agreeable to at some point in time if you remember to send me the wording of how you've put that I just doesn't matter of interesting if you could email it out, you know that would be very helpful. Thank you.

A

Celts, you can't what a question if.

G

They, if they want to know where to smoke, they just have to ask the local councillor so I, just wondering there was a. There was at the public meeting. They made commentary about their not being adequate parking spaces and I, see that and staff also I think you know, or the ER and the report. It would makes reference to not meeting the standards or the prior requirements for parking and so you've said. There's a lot of families that'll be in this building because of the size of units. Why?

G

Why are there three units that will be without parking spaces? We.

L

Have a significant, so we do have parking for all the three bedrooms and two bedrooms: we don't necessarily have parking for all the one bedrooms, but there is great transit in that area. I mean why.

G

Why did you often not have more parking? It's.

L

We've actually done a survey of our purchaser, so we've completed ten projects across the GTA and the ratio that we're using here is consistent with the ratio in other buildings and that's consistent with the kind of percentage of purchasers who want part where.

G

It was, do you have other buildings in sort of suburban areas or mostly.

L

Do absolutely we have one in Scarborough on Danforth, Road and Eglinton? That's probably our most recent building and it has a very similar parking ratio. Okay,.

G

L

Lot of people make the choice too.

L

One of the things that they're willing to give up to become a homeowner is the kind of private use of a car and they're. Much more willing to use public transit is.

G

This is this a condominium. It.

L

G

Okay, that's all thank you.

A

H

This is a condo, yes have as the province changed. The condominium I think it's called the condominium act still to reflect. What you're advertising that marijuana's can't be smoked.

L

H

It's great to advertise that everybody that wants to buy is gonna buy because they they feel that that's that's a good, a good thing to have. But how are you going to enforce it if provincial, either in the act that doesn't address it.

L

I mean these are the condo bylaws right, which you can enforce. Condo bylaws like if you have a dog that if you have a dog- and you can't have a dog in your building, then you're fine to buy your. But you have.

H

To catch the person.

L

H

Somebody is actually smoking on a balcony. How are you going to get rid of that person and how long is it going to take I mean.

L

Initially, the people would be fined for for an infraction and then presumably over the longer term, there can be other actions taken by the condominium Corp and there can also be. There will also be some presumably moral, suasion involved in that I mean people when they purchased they're, essentially agreeing to live by those those rules. I mean it's not gonna, be a perfect system. That's for certain no.

H

I just noticed that your advertising not yeah.

L

Yeah, the worst.

H

Thing I think sometimes is to advertise something that is unenforceable, because the expectations that come out of it by the homeowners are unrealistic. In my view, right and you just answered the question there hasn't been any any amendments to the Act that deals with with this at all. So all it takes is an appeal. There is an appeal mechanism for anybody in a condo that doesn't agree with the condo board. Now all it would take is that I just think we're fresh we're confusing everybody. That's all.

L

A

You, okay, seeing no further questions. Thank you. Our next speaker, a Marian O'sullivan, Weston, Village BIA,.

A

Good morning welcome I'm.

J

Here, as you said, representing the board of the Western village BIA and the 200 member businesses, we serve to say that Western needs density is an understatement, and our businesses definitely would do a whole lot better. If we had more density, they need more density in order to survive and flourish, and this is particularly true, but the businesses south of Lawrence in the area where the Humber will be located.

Proximity to the up Express will obviously be one of the reasons people will decide to buy in the Humber and with more people walking past the stores in that area to the up Xpress, it can be, nothing have nothing but a positive effect on those businesses. In addition, we were really happy to hear that there are going to be a lot of family size units, we're hoping that that will mean that there'll be a greater diversity in store mix stores that will sort of serve the various different age groups.

J

That is not the case right now. We have a lot of hairdressing salons, nail salons, and we hope we can do better than that in the long run. I have to say thank.

A

You seeing no questions. Thank you very much. Our next speaker, Dave Bennett Weston Village residents association, mr. Bennett.

A

Dude wanting sure welcome yeah five minutes. Thank you. Thank.

G

Q

Good morning, everyone, and, as you mentioned, I'm the chair of the Western village residents Association and our association- supports the options for home proposal at tight end, we'll be a crescent for a number of reasons. The skyrocketing Toronto housing market has meant that new home owners have to wait even longer before being able to purchase their first home. Weston was the second poorest area in a row in Ontario in 2008 and options for home. Nonprofit financial formula will help our Western residents obtain ho no more home ownership. Also financial assisted home ownership.

Q

Models like this application have a great track record in Weston five years ago, Habitat for Humanity opened and operate a place, five streets away at 1500, Weston Road, and this site is a positive addition to our community and it continues to thrive today. Currently, this site is an eyesore. It currently has a two-story industrial warehouse building on a dead-end Crescent, even before this site was abandoned for this proposal.

Q

This location was a dumping ground for garbage and because it was out of sight, other questionable activity was happening late at night, which is not positive for a family-based community. This new development eliminates that dead-end Crescent by extending the greenery from the Humber, and this proposal also has a request in it to create access from this location, to the humble Humber trail below, which is a great benefit for our community.

Q

The proposed cul-de-sac also automatically creates a drop-off area for the new building, while allowing snowplows to complete the routes without backing up, which is always dangerous. As we know also, the new proposed sidewalk to Weston makes this new development a great walkable destination and the podium design of the building will help mediate. Wind's coming off the tall banks of the Humber River. This site is only 450 metres from our new Westin Express station and I believe these new residents will support our up Express residence numbers writing.

Q

Sorry, ridership numbers residents at 10 will be Crescent could arrive at the Air Canada Centre faster than driving a car. That's remarkable. The proposed bedroom unit ratio is also very family-orientated, which is in support of our family based Western community, we're proud to support this development. Thank you.

A

Thank you mr. Bennett questions. Seeing none. Thank you any further speakers to the item before bringing committee any further speakers to the item. Seeing none questions of staff seeing none councillor Campbell just.

G

Enjoy your five minute or two parkland question about the park: parkland dedication, so this site, the the it's recommended cash in lieu, as opposed to some space set aside for parkland no.

E

So the section 37 agreements and payments.

G

Are going to be going directly to converting the redundant.

N

B

Of hickory tree.

N

Wrote to parkland conditions and then there'll be the separate parkland requirement, which.

G

Is hopefully going to be used.

N

The long-term gain is to.

G

Create access to.

N

The Humber recreational trail so.

G

Maasai twould be big enough for if this site was not rain next to the Humber, obviously that's great with the access to the Humber River. Would it otherwise would we otherwise be asking for for space on the site, or is it too small for that and.

Q

I think that would be. How can we require me guess: okay,.

G

A

All thank you. Thank you see no further questions. Thank You, Kelsey Annunziata to speak, Thank.

D

You mr. chairman and I will support the recommendations, but I would like to I'm adding a six recommendation. We can put it on the screen to request that the general manager, parks, forestry and Recreation submit a formal request to transportation services for the stop up and closure of the portion of hickory tree Road. That is located beyond the proposed Gaul to sack for transfer to parks, forestry and recreation.

D

Yeah, there's a request. So mr. chairman members of council I do support this application and just to give you a history of it and and I want to also acknowledge Laurel derson, that's here as well in the council, chambers and Paul Bedford. This application actually came in and we worked on it since 2013.

D

Actually, before that, when the original application came in and the original application came in, we had a community meeting and the community was in full support of the application at the time, and then it was delayed for a while and then options for homes came forward with a revised application, and this is an area where we as well a few years ago, did a Charette a plant in Weston and Uli was involved in it.

D

Paul Bedford was involved in it, the residents Association, the BIA was involved in it, and we- and at that time we looked at revitalization of Weston in particular, and for um for the community to support intensified K vacation in the area and as well because of the goal and the up express that had just we just approved a stop at Western Lawrence. It was. We were all in supportive intensification in the area and options for homes, even though it was delayed for a while when they came forward with their revised application will be.

D

Crescent has been an area. The will be Crescent in particular, has been. There's been a vacant lot, vacant building there for a number of years and and what that site was used for is dumping of garbage there like vehicles and- and it was just an eyesore and residents that live at hickory tree Road. One and three hickory tree Road constantly called my office complaining about that site because it was a dead-end street and people were there.

D

You know there was a lot of illegal activities going on, and so when, when options for homes came forward and purchased the site and wanted to redevelop that site. Of course, everyone in the community was in full support of it to revitalize the area and, as Mary mentioned with the BIA, we are looking and we have a number of development applications coming in and Weston that we're very excited about so this site, as I mentioned it was a lot of work, was put into this.

D

Application and options for homes actually worked with the planning staff, and thank you to the planning staff that worked on this application. I know that there was a lot of work and negotiations that we have to do with one-in-three hickory tree Road, and we met with the board and I'm very pleased that it's here for approval and finally, we can get this site developed and maybe revitalize the whole street will be Crescent, which is a which is an eyesore as well with vacant buildings that we have on that site.

D

So I asked members that Council to support this application, there's a lot more development applications coming in and my ward, not only in West and Mount Danis and st. Claire and I'm really excited about the interest that developers are shown in Ward, 11, Thank.

A

You councilman she had a councilmember, you speak so.

H

With all due respect to the local councillor, because I know she does her best and to any planners I'm not going to support the application but I'm not going to support it for, for a much larger reason, I and and trust me, I I know options to home very well to homes very well, and they do a great job. So I don't want to tarnish their reputation at all.

H

This to me, civil policy and and I can't support the suburbs continually taking on all the social housing units and affordable housing units to a degree where it it. It is incredibly more than the downtown part of the city. I am seeing a trend going on and I, don't like it I, don't like the fact that poverty breeds poverty and I.

H

Don't like the fact that that we're not seeing this as a city, I personally think we need to to put a limit on the amount of social housing and affordable housing in in Ward's that have already got it and have already accepted it to that large degree and start pushing for for the private sector to come in and for income to come into communities, because that's really the only way that incomes that communities thrive is through income and if we're just loading our communities up with people on social assistance and those that may not have the opportunity to be working.

H

It doesn't help local communities if you're not spending money in that local community, and so when you overburden a community with this kind of housing, it it. It hurts communities and I, wrote the affordable housing policy in the city. To and I argued this point back then that we can't be doing this downtown Toronto got it got it right when they realized that it was an issue in Regent, Park and other areas of the city, and it wasn't working for them economically. So they agreed to build more more condos.

H

More income units, so people that are buying, are working and making salaries and spending their money in their local pockets. But what's happened since then is it seems that there's a push to put this in the suburbs of the city Toronto, and that to me scares me, and nobody wants to talk about this except me and and let's be real Weston Road is, is I, grew up in that area. I grew up at Weston, Road and Sheppard. I grew up in that area and and I, don't necessarily like.

H

What's going on on a part of Weston Road and as much as the glocal councillor supports some of these some some of these she doesn't, but at the end of the day, if you're just putting through affordable housing and social housing and you're in your neighborhood, it's the problems are gonna come home to roost. Social problems will come home to roost, we're seeing it everywhere. Poverty breeds poverty and we've got to stop the encouragement of it in some pockets of the city and encourage it in areas that don't have it. The areas don't have.

H

It are the first ones to say this is wonderful, great news, they're, the first ones to advocate for affordable housing, but let's put it in someone else's backyard right, let's not put it in ours and and the package that I wrote a few years ago had that built in that the council would strive to put affordable housing and every Ward in the city and not just one or two of them, and it seems to me that we're not adhering to that policy, so I'm not going to support it for the reasons I've outlined, not because I don't afford a support, affordable housing, not because not because I don't support the local councillor or options for homes, which I think is a great organization, but I think everybody agrees that there needs to be a limit in communities if they've got their fair share of it.

H

A

Councillor Campbell thank.

G

You well I I, it's a point well taken by councillor ma'am Aleta, but I. Don't fundamentally disagree with it. This is an area where the residents have come forward and they've said that this was a dilapidated, derelict area. Where you know things were happening that they didn't care to be happening. It's been underdeveloped. This is an infusion of capital and money, and you know the reality of the situation in Toronto is that it is unaffordable. Here's 233 units coming to a neighborhood where you know it's gonna, be it's close to transit.

G

It's close to you know. The local shops are very appreciative of the fact that there's going to be some people coming and patronizing their businesses- and you know, try to find try to find a decent property, a decent rental or condominium property. That's affordable in Toronto, I mean it's just it's very, very difficult prices are skyrocketing, you pay a fortune for a post posted size, place downtown and, frankly, the the the suburbs are getting to be almost as bad.

G

So, aside from the fact that there's an adequate parking, I welcome the development- and you know this is gonna, be if this is going to be a very nice development right by the Humber River right by parkland, and the other thing is is: is about affordable. What is affordable, affordable doesn't mean poverty. Affordable doesn't mean that you're out of work and you're on social assistance. This is not Toronto Community Housing. This is affordable housing. These are people with jobs.

G

These are people that are nurses, they might be working in hospitals, they could be working in banks, these are employed people. These are employed people who can't afford the high ticket prices of downtown, and so for that reason, I'm going to support the development.

A

Well-Said Council Campbell. Thank you counter just set to speak. I will.

M

Be very quick: I am also supporting this. These affordable condos are brilliant I'm, actually working with some developers in my ward, trying to get affordable condominiums as well as councillor Campbell says it is people who just can't get that down payment, but want to live in a beautiful, neighborhood, heck, I, love, I love the Humber River wonder why it's a great location and yes, I- am always trying to get affordable units into my ward, but as a lot of people can't afford to buy condos these days forget rent in some areas.

M

I think this is an excellent idea. I think it's a great project and I thank the local city councilor for pursuing this and keeping it and on track and very, very happy to support this. Thank.

A

You counter to set see no further speakers. Council Annunziata. His motion, she's out of number six, will vote on that separately. Recorded vote has been requested.

F

A

Sorry, 20 yep.

F

3220, okay,.

A

One second 3220 and what's your request: yeah.

F

I have a recommendation and I have spoken city staff as well and today today developer and it seems like we are all in support of that, and there is one depe tent in the room.

A

220 speakers on 320 know, so would you just quick please.

F

Yeah, it's a quick release.

A

So this is an amendment well.

F

It's an amendment to see these recommendations and the recommendation is on recommendation number 2. In essence, what it does is that there are eight planning staff we requested to convene a meeting with a local City Council and the developer, if appropriate. The week of July. The 16th does anything to find the resolution to the angular King issues before the July council meeting and being City Council a direct planning step to experimentation process and bring forward a final report.

F

The first topic on your community council should application not be appealed to the l-pad during the break council meetings between July to December 2018 sewing essences the recommendations calling to continue the negotiating aspect, but it's been going on for the last four years and and I think these recommendations will somehow bring everyone together. Okay,.

A

Okay, all in favor of the amendment to question the mover capture to set account.

M

So we just obviously received the supplementary report today. So basically, this is what you are moving. The supplementary report is that right, that's.

F

Correct I'm, okay yeah. We then amended to recommendation number two.

M

And so I that amendment is.

F

M

Working with city staff with the proponents I'm sorry.

A

Counselor, uh the Director of Planning is looking at me funny Thank.

C

You mr. chair, it's with regards to counter patios first recommendation: absolutely we have no issue with that. The second recommendation is I'd like to get a clarification. If I can so, the recommendation is to find a resolution to the angular plane issue before the July City Council meeting the angular plane is encoded in the zoning okay. So mr.

A

Crespo we're gonna, stop you there, it's not going to be quick. So can you work with mr. Cresswell to see you can get something worked out? Okay, we're just gonna hold it down. You guys can work that out and we'll come back to it. That's.

F

A

Okay, 32:21 status report now Donna's planning framework study city initiative, official plan amendment. Are there any speakers on Mount Dennis planning framework? Mr.

D

Chairman, if I might.

A

D

For you, I 32:21, the Mount Dennis planning framework frame, work study and as well as the y 32:23, which is actually part of the Mount Dennis. Maybe we can have because the deputies that are here to speak on both of them. So maybe we could 2112.

A

You deal together all in favor opposed carried. Are there any speakers on 21, seeing none ey 12.

D

There is, there is we're on the planning study now: Simon, okay,.

A

So you here speak on 21 yeah. Thank you good afternoon or good morning still welcome and thank you for your patience, sir. Your five minutes Simon Chamberlain, my secretary, are you gonna speak to 23? Also, yes, so you're gonna. Do it together? Yes, okay! So your deal, okay, so he's speaking to 21 and 23. For my colleagues. Thank you, sir. You have five minutes. I'll reset your time. Thank you.

K

So I'm Simon Chamberlain I'm Secretary of the mountainous Community Association, and we are fully strongly in support of the modernist planning study and anxious to see it go ahead. So we're just edging that you process that as quickly as possible.

K

The second thing, the more contentious issue is, is item 23, the gas-station proposal and our association has some serious problems with that proposal and I just want to start with, with flagging the issue about the timing and the fact that it's it's, it's ending up not being able to be dealt with by City Council in a timely fashion, even though you know, because because it didn't reach the Planning Department in any form until the 13th of April, it wasn't a completed application until the 11th of May, and here we are less than two months later and unless it gets approved by you today, it ended up being referred on to the air pad.

K

If the. If the applicant wishes to do that, there's a serious problem in terms of this sort of how the system is working.

K

If, if in a year when council has an election, that that kind of an issue can can happen and any opportunity to have proper public debate and on an issue like that can be bypassed, so I wanted to flag that as a general issue and specifically or we're in full support of the client of the planners recommendations on this and we're hoping that you will approve them as written the the issues that the planners have flagged, including the appropriateness of of the project in this location. This is supposed to be an employment district.

K

The number of employees on this site is going to drop noticeably once it becomes a gas station. It was right now as three small restaurants, the in terms of the traffic impacts. This is a busy intersection that is often crowded and problematic.

K

One aspect about traffic that has not been looked at at all relates to the city's vision, zero policy. This is a very busy pedestrian intersection with people crossing in all directions. You've got two very busy bus lines. Intersecting there, the western bus and the and the Jane bus and.

K

The effect of widening both roads in this location, which is brought about what the application involves, is going to be, we think, problematic from from a pedestrian safety vision. Zero perspective, as quite aside from problems with with vehicular traffic, which is already often stacked up, particularly during rush hours to make to make left, turns the.

K

We also agree with the planners reservations about the aesthetics of the design proposal, which essentially will present a blank wall to to the intersection and and certainly with the loss of trees and and green space on site, and we, it certainly looks to us as though it's a very constrained site and one that seems inappropriate for for such a an activity.

K

It's hard to even see a justification for building a gas station in this particular location. We've had a we had a huge new basket at gas station built further south in Mount Dennis or just on Black Creek Drive beside the no-frills store that has been. That is very well used.

K

There's another gas station just just less than a kilometer north of this it it's hard to see a need for it and it's hard to see it as being the unappropriate use, and the only comments we've ever had from the residents since it came to light a few weeks ago have been negative once that's essentially. So please, please approve your report. Recommendations.

A

Thank you, sir see no questions. Thank you very much. Thank you. Our next speaker, Johnny Dib, you're speaking on 23, for my colleagues. Information should welcome sir good morning. Thank you. Five minutes.

B

So I'm not gonna repeat what the first deputy said: I'm.

Q

Just gonna say that I'm also in favor of the recommendations. That's a foot forward and I want to remind counselors that in general, when there's an application to build new.

B

Gas stations, it's very important to look at the best land use of any given land. In this specific case, the.

Q

Employment, we estimate is going to drop. It's not going to increase, even though.

B

This this land is is designated for employment, there's in fact two gas stations less than less than one kilometer up the road on Jane Street and another gas station. Exactly one kilometre up the road on Weston Road, so the need for the need for gas stations in in Mount Denis is not really there.

B

The the other technical point is that the the proposed amendment, the proposed zoning amendment and development, is not likely to increase city revenue through property taxes either. When you look at the current property taxes paid on the on the property and.

Q

Compare it to property taxes paid on gas stations in the area.

B

And then that's it. Thank.

A

You so you know questions. Thank you very much. Next speakers, nicole 'some, magna Cole.

A

Good morning welcome.

D

B

Inc, on behalf of we've received in review the comments from staff and the external agencies. We know we have some sorry. We know we have some technical comments to address. We do look forward to working with staff and the community on this application. I do support the recommendations of staff and hopefully we can get.

M

A community meeting set up and work with the community on addressing some issues. Thank you. Questions.

A

See none. Thank you very much. Are there any further speakers to 32.2 one or thirty? Two point: two: three. Mr. Bedford Sarah welcome good morning.

B

Nice to see you all again, I'm just here very briefly, to strongly support the amount dentist planning, study, I. Think it's long overdue. As you all know, with the Crosstown about to be completed, did in three four years. That area is going to experience enormous future change and I think this is a great opportunity to be proactive and get ahead of the game and figure out what the community would like to see in that in that area.

B

The other thing I just wanted you to be aware of, and councillor Nancy added and I've talked about this since I retired from the city, one of the things I've been doing is working with the Urban Land Institute Toronto chapter and working with different communities at their request to bring city building leaders in to do a vision and action plan exercise along with the planning department.

B

We've done two of them in the past Dundas Bloor, West and last year was made in Danforth very, very successful, and this year Urban Land Institute has suggested that Mount Dennis is that area that they'd like to focus on so I just want you to be aware of that, and this is a chance to really bring a lot of additional free resources into that community and help. That's that.

A

Mm-Hmm famous your bed for questions, seeing none any further speakers see none questions of staff.

Let's go to application fence exam 223, Bradley Avenue, other speakers on 25 Bradley, Avenue, fence exemption, seeing none questions or staff see none counter. Doucet I'm.

M

Going to be moving the seat of this report.

A

Okay, can't you just said is moving receipt of report any further speakers. All in favor opposed carried 3226 application, offense exception six Donnybrook Lane.

A

We have a speaker, Matthew Curtis mr. Cruz good morning, you'll be our last speaker the morning. Thank.

Q

You, okay good! Thank you good morning. My name is Matthew Curtis I'm, the property owner of six Lane.

Q

We come here today to seeking offense exemption to build a six-foot boundary fence on the side, flank äj-- yard, of our of our property. We thank councillor campbell, who came to do a site visit to our property, to see what we want to build. Basically, it's a side flank äj-- fence that would be at the corner of old oak road and Donnybrook lane.

Q

The fence would be constructed on a slight angle in order to maintain a visibility triangle of eight point: zero, four nine metres from the intersection, the type of fence, is a board by board pressure, treated wood and basically the reason why we want this fence is currently as a councillor Campbell saw.

Q

We have trees that line the boundary of our property, but we also have two children under the age of three who obviously like to wander around and those trees do not provide the privacy or, more importantly, the security to keep them inside our side in our side yard.

Q

So, for that reason we like to build a six but high fence and the the reason as well is that the other side of our property, which I think the city would consider the backyard, is still on the side of our property on the other side of the house and there's a garage that stands in the way. So the side of the house, where we're seeking the fence by log exemption is where we already have a deck, and we already have side trees that boundary trees that we like to remove and put in some fencing.

Q

We also note that they're, similarly sized fences along Donnybrook Lane on along the north side and we've worked with our landscape designer on a design that helps maximize visibility for drivers and pedestrians at the corner of old oak road and Donnybrook Lane, there's actually a portion. If you review attachment five of the staff report, where the the the fence will go into our property and not go along the property line and that's again to maximize the visibility triangle of eight point: zero, four, nine meters.

Q

We also note that there's been no formal complaints with respect to this exemption application, there's been no Notice of Violation. This is a proactive application to have the fence built. We've spoken to neighbors and we've. As I said earlier, we've had the city councilor come to our property as well as city staff. I should also note, in terms of you know how it will look. There will be two large city trees, one on old oak road and one on donabrook Lane.

Q

That will be in front of this of this fence, so you can see the on the diagram submitted by our landscaper that there is an existing tree that will obviously not be disrupted by the proposed fence.

Q

Lastly, I would say that this application is in keeping with a fence exemption that was approved by this council at 20. Mitcham drive on May, 2nd, very similar layout with respect to a side, yard house and then garage and the exemption was permitted in that case, for the side yard, where the deck was located again on a corner lot.

Q

We are requesting a final decision today because we are landscapers have already started to work on installing a new deck and in in light of the fact that there won't be more community council meetings in the near future. We are requesting that a final decision be made on our fence exemption request. So those are my submissions. I'd welcome any questions all right. Thank you.

G

Any questions at the deputy counsel for Campbell, but should you you so you talked to number of your neighbor or somebody? You talked to neighbors Ani on either side and other side of Donnybrook.

Q

We canvassed certainly our neighbor to the left. We have a boundary fence which you may recall has been built. We actually built that with them, so we spoke to them. We spoke to the property owners across from us on old oak Road, and then we spoke with all of the neighbors along Donnybrook that face our properties.

G

You have any were there any objections or reservations, I no.

Q

Formal objections, okay,.

G

B

Other questions.

H

M

You very much I'm, looking at the drawings and you're right, you've got some large trees there, so none of the large trees will be damaged during this process right. We.

Q

Will not touch a tree, the one of the trees, that's not on the the mark in which councillor Campbell might be able to attest. Who is on the other side closer to the garage and that's we estimate almost a hundred years old. We wouldn't dream of touching any of these large trees and in fact we want to ensure that they were the large trees remain. It will just be the boundary trees which, if you look at the pictures, they're sort of deciduous fairly small and not terribly attractive trees.

Q

Those smaller trees are going to be removed, but the large trees that you can see in the pictures attachment three and attachment number two I believe yeah number two, those trees are not going to be touched in any way by the construction of the boundary fence. Thank.

M

Q

B

Other questions.

E

Thank You chair attachment number two northeast view from old oak road facing six Donnybrook Lane, there's a photo in here. I, don't know if you have the same report, but there's a fence already built, looks like between you and your neighbors, whose fence is that well.

Q

It's a boundary fence. Oh it's both of ours, but.

E

It's not the subject of this. It's there already. It's there.

Q

Already it's pretty existing that we want to sort of close the loop, as you can see, there's a large gap and as I mentioned earlier, you know we have we've got young children and and, as probably, would know what toddlers they like to go to explore and obviously we want to contain them within our side yard and not have them wander onto the street. Did.

E

You build that fence, though the boundary fence or your neighbor.

Q

We both built I mean we, we had someone build it, but that was by agreement and as councillor Campbell asked me, we spoke with this neighbor with respect to today's application. Thank.

E

A

Dirt. Thank you any further speakers to the item. Six Donnybrook lane questions of staff, no question staff, w more Holliday.

Good afternoon already, I wonder if he could just advise me if there are any sight line concerns with any of the configurations proposed there.

Are none great, thank you very much.

A

Any further questions seeing none councillor, Campbell I, think shift to tell us where Donnybrook Lane came from that Donnybrook.

G

Lane, actually, there was a bit of a Donny because there was a grow-op up the street, but we took care of that thanks to Mark's rag and his team. So anyway, we think we.

E

G

That's our dynamic range: it's it's off! Dundas, just east of Islington, so I'm gonna move number two to grant the exemption to permit the offence to be one point. Eight two metres as Matthew said: I was at the site, actually looked at this house a few years ago to buy it, but you know it was out of my price range, so I'm glad maths, um I'm glad a nice family bought it and and and knowing the area there are normally I would be a little uncomfortable with with fences on corners like that.

G

But he's talked to a wall, his neighbours, it's well set back from the from the roadway. You know, young family you've got to keep the kids, you know in a visible space. So that's why I would like to grant the exemption great speech. Thank you. It's all about the speech.

A

All in favor of the exemption opposed carried 30, 2.27 application fence exemption 15 Lauren Bruce Drive in Ward 12. Are there any speakers on Lauren, Bruce Drive, seeing none questions of staff? Oh there is I'm sorry good afternoon, sir welcome you have five minutes. Thank you, sir right I'm.

B

The owner for 115 norm, Bruce, Drive and.

B

So this mice, my driveway and I, built this fence four and a half years.

F

B

And I built the returning wall because my my neighbor landed more high and my property and I built the.

F

Five: five.

B

F

B

On the top, so that's less than six feet.

F

B

Build I check in a computer, hey I can build my friends, so that's that two meters so.

F

I keep below 2 meters for the high ponds.

A

Thank you, sir questions. Seeing none. Thank you. No further speakers of the item counselor to Giorgio questions of staff.

B

The applicant has indicated there's a difference in elevation between his property and the adjoining property to the east, I gather, and so at the end of the day, when you measure the height of the vinyl fence and it's a vinyl fence, not a wood board on board. Correct, vinyl and I haven't had a chance to visit the sites of my inclination most of the fur, the item.

B

But what is the actual height of the fence, measured from the midpoint of the difference in elevation to the top of the vinyl fence counsellor, when we're speaking in regards to the retaining wall, the.

Q

Height differential, the process in which we follow through with our fence exemption, is that you take a measurement one foot out from both sides of.

B

Q

B

Then you're equaling the product.

Q

The property size differences which brings this fence at 2.4.

B

Meters in the height of the fence, measured from let's say the midpoint of the retaining wall to the top is 2.4 meters right and the the permitted is 2 meters right. I was talking about point four meter difference about a foot and change curette.

B

Okay, you know what I don't I, don't really think, there's an urgency to making a decision on this issue. I mean the fence has been built and while my inclination is to approve it, I'd like to defer this so that I have an opportunity to speak with with some adjoining neighbors.

M

B

There really isn't any urgency to this thing. It's already been built. Okay, my motion will be to defer mr. chairman, no further questions. You.

A

Hey, which will be okay to the new council, all in favor of the furrow opposed carry final report number thirty-two seven final report, 5569 Pelham, Avenue idiot official plan amendment we're gonna skip over that counter plotters outside working on that motion. 32:8 final report, 135 Plunkett, Road phase, 2 zoning bylaw minute and draft plans subdivision application.

E

G

Question is in regard to the parkland dedication and why there was no in this particular file. There was no requirement for a park to be set aside.

J

Location, we're taking cash in lieu opposed to on-site park in the cash in lieu 460 square meters.

G

460 square meters is 21 meters by 21 meters so that why would that not constitute a significant park or park at 21 meters by 21 meters? Why are we taking the cash in lieu, as opposed to asking for green space.

J

In this application we did not. We asked for an outdoor amenity space for residents because it would be in the rear and that would be adjacent to the loading in the parking garage ramp. So we didn't think that that was a perfect location for a park. So we asked for an outdoor amenity space and we had the building's the two blocks frame, both Birmingham and so.

G

C

I'd also jump in through you, mr. chair, that if you look at the staff report counselor on page 21 right, it also says that this. This is the the recommendations of parks and forestry staff right that the the sites located near Cronin Park at east mall Park. So, given the fact that there are two existing parks nearby and the size of the on-site park would be quite small, they would rather take the cash in lieu.

G

Okay, I mean I, just I have my opinions on that I understand, but this sorry that the in the report does it say that this this is not a park deficient area. I guess this is a this- is in the middle range.

G

C

That's correct on the previous page: it sits in the middle quintile of parks supply according to the Official Plan. That's correct! Okay, all right! No.

G

A

So signal for the questions counter holiday, you're, moving the staff Rex Thank.

E

It's similar to the previous developments where we exclude this address from application for on street parking and I will point out that parking is constrained in the area and could result in future pressure. So we want to make sure that this does not result in on street parking other than that I am moving the staff recommendations. I hope you support them. Okay,.

I

30K policy so like I, wouldn't be able to answer that right now. Thank.

E

You very much any.

A

Further questions of staff, seeing none come to the set.

G

A

The staff counselor Campbell.

G

Have are you aware of any report of any reports and studies that have been done in the past on these particular locations, checking with staff? No, nothing so there's never been a staff assessment of the traffic, the speed of cars or anything on this not to our regulation and our. So do you have any knowledge of these particular streets? Are these just these? Just quiet, quiet, local roads is there. They are quite local, roaches, quiet, local roads where people are already driving fairly slowly, probably I would go yes,.

D

G

Thank you, you're gonna have it, you know it's gonna, be so easy for you any other.

A

Further questions or staff any further questions seeing none councillor set I was moving the recommendations 31.8 one. Oh sure you can yep.

M

So the reason you have these streets in front of you Larkin is a one-way street. With a band we had a child struck there a couple of years ago, Bradley, you probably know about fence exemptions, Dury we're constantly hearing track. The trucks are going too fast. Halford is a cobblestone hill, which right now is only one lane, because a retaining wall which needs fixing they come very fast down. The hill Priscilla actually runs beside behind a high school parking lot. Cars come whizzing out of that parking lot around the street Gilmour.

M

We have done a study there to look at how to slow a traffic down, but we looked more about stop signs and serpentine parking and things. Rexford is right. The front door of a school and elementary school cars are whizzing up and down there and that's why each of these has a reason. I didn't just willy-nilly, choose streets out of the sky. Thank you. Looking for your support, so.

G

Iii can't support this because it's you know, while those descriptions are nice, those are not staff reports and you know we're supposed to we're supposed to enact changes to the city based on information. That information is not adequate cars whizzing, you know cobblestone. These are.

G

These are descriptions by you know by it by the local councillor that do not appropriately or adequately convey what's really happening on these streets, and so we're going to we're going to give give direction to change the speeds on these roads without any verifiable information and, as will be the case with other requests from councillors. I can't support this and you know thirty kilometers an hour is not enforceable anyway, if it, but if I would support it if it was. If we had staff recommendations that substantiated the request but I'm not going to support it.

A

Okay, the motion is on the floor. All in favor of counter two sets motion councillor did you counsel Giorgio all in favor Council to set counterplot counterplot CEO? Yes, no count Annunziata councillor, Chris aunty, councillor Grimes opposed councillor; okay, all in favor once again counter to george'll councillor set councillor plot co-counsel done genetic counselor, Chris aunty councillor Grimes opposed councillor campbell ma'am led that carries okay.

Going back to you. I thirty two point: two zero counts are plot shows motions on the screen. It will be on the screen. Give you a second okay.

There's a kid hit by a car a couple, probably three weeks to a month ago, so I'm asking for that to come back all in favor opposed 82 carried UI 31.8 three.

A

Speed the amendment on Florence Crescent, it's a reduced of student from 40 to 30 counts.

D

A

Just one second councilors questions of staff, counselor holiday.

D

A

Just within the right to ask this question: counselor Hall need a question. Thank you.

E

And could you comment to whether or not you support the recommendation to remove a story to reduce the speed limit from 40 to 30? Well,.

Q

This Pro take a location, I, don't recall, we've done any particular.

I

Study we haven't received any complaints or concerns related to speeding, so I will go.

Q

Based on the counselors advice that they they've.

I

Heard some that they're bits of speeding issues and that's why the looking to reduce the speed understood.

E

That there's been complaints, but does that mean that you recommend reducing the speed limit to 30? That's.

K

Not my call media councils call and.

E

There's been no report prepared, there's been no. Thank you further.

A

Questions of staff, seeing none counselor, none des motions on the screen person before you mister.

D

Okay, mr. chairman I'd like to speak, it's my item, speak okay, I. My recommend my report is to reduce the speed limit from 40 to 30 on Florence Crescent between Jane Street and st. Clair Avenue.

D

Mr. Chairman I know the same questions being asked by councilor holiday and councillor Campbell. There was a study done the study that we do and counts. There just said in councillor Palacio and the rest of us do is our study has done with the community and the community is requesting and they feel that they need and we need to reduce the speed limit on particular streets where there's a lot of traffic taking shortcuts to me. In my opinion, that should be sufficient, so I'm asking members of council to support it. Thank you.

A

Holidays speak so.

E

I'll speak very briefly, because I'd like to explain why I don't support this, because we've heard it council before that. Changing the speed limit does not necessarily result in increased safety and, in fact, can have the negative effect of having speed differentials between cars and I feel very strongly that there's a process to go through. All of this I'd like to have the advice of staff and if the staff feel that it's something that needs to be done, great, we'll do it, and if we just don't know, then it may not be the wise choice.

E

I appreciate, councillor, Annunziata and and the feelings that she may have with her community, but as a decision maker on this, that has to choose something that may or may not result in better or worse safety. I want to use a lot of care and I would like the advice of the staff on this matter and until such time, I don't think. I can support this. Okay.

A

Kamel to speak, you.

G

Know I'm gonna be even briefer than I'm. This is. This is blatant election year pandering to the to a group of people. We don't know. You can say that that people in the community want this, but you know what I don't know, how many people want it and if this was 2015 or 2016, these wouldn't be before us, but it's 2018 and it's an election year and that's why we're ramming all these through these things and councilor ice you've already spoken, counts.

A

That's why that's.

G

What that's why these things are coming through without staff recommendations, family.

A

H

Gonna move to bring back the horse and buggy onto this okay.

D

A

It was great thousand.

D

And fourteen I would still have the.

A

H

Of family D, please the motions on the on the floor. All in favor opposed that carries 3184 realignment of parking spaces 12-8 to include Royal Street, prove the amended section, be that it at the counselor done Gianna. Yes, I'll move the recommendation. Council has move the staff recommendation or her recommendation all in favor proposed K.

A

Okay, and this is conference traffic study in Mimico I said we had a child hit by a car, and we've got the residents up in arms they've asking for a study for the area. My emotions are attached to the sheets of question. Director transportation undertake a comprehensive track, resetting the mimic old neighborhood. It's a cop threw for Humber Bay shores. You heard me talk about the Waze app taking people through our neighborhoods that never seen traffic like that before so I'm asking for a study to take place. All in favor opposed carry no no yeah.

A

We can't can we go back to yes, we can okay, okay, we're going back to 2008! Thirty, two point: two one and thirty two to three: yes,.

D

Thank you on two one. I want to. First of all, I want to thank staff for bringing this report forward on the planning, study and framework framework for Mount Denis. We we actually had a walk about with our chief planner and the BIA as well, along Western Road along a monk Dennis, and what was really shocking is the salsa and of Eglinton Avenue, which was frustrating, is actually his own residential, not commercial, and that's a and that's a commercial frontage along Western Road.

D

We always assumed it was commercial, but then we found out that no, in fact, it's residential, which was really disturbing because we're trying to revitalize Mount Dennis and as well with the Eglinton line being completed, and we have all these vacant storefronts along Weston Road, with people living with curtains.

D

We're desperate need of help in that area and I want to thank Paul Bedford for mentioning Uli has an interest in in working with us and Mount Denis, as they did in Weston, so I'm moving the recommendation, but I'm also moving another recommendation to ask the planning staff that we have the the consultation meeting in July. So those are my recommendations.

A

D

23 I have another motion. Well.

A

Regretting at a time so, ok.

D

21, this is look at any 121.

A

Motions up, okay, so motion to complete the item. All in favor opposed carried sorry for lunch. We got a long day ahead of us, so you know council merely to speak.

H

Sure my going to be consistent, I, don't like what I'm, seeing even with this in that neighborhood I predict that this is going to be a bit of an issue and I, don't think the residents are gonna like the outcome of it. When the former planner.

K

H

Up and says we're going to get three services. What that amounts to councillor Nunziata is, in my opinion, more poverty and if you're, if you're, encouraging poverty in the area, it's going to cause a problem in the future in your area, because I think we've got too much of it already and I know. I know that people just make disagree with it. But this is my view and and that's this is why I'm voting against it. Okay and so I'm gonna vote against it.

H

For that reason, you came to counselor counseling Jetta screaming about the shelter's. You didn't want a shelter in your area right. This.

A

H

Opinion this isn't a reflection of you counselor, it's not it's! It's it's now a plan. That's going forward and I'm just saying to you I believe that it's going to be detrimental to the community with respect to what its gonna encourage. That's.

A

It any further speakers to the item seeing none the amendments on the screen. All in favor opposed carried clauses amended all in favor opposed carried 23.

D

And on 21 we were just supporting a planning study.

A

D

23, which is the and I had deputy tens make a deputation on a gas station. That's being.

A

D

Yes, I do so. My motion is that Etobicoke York Community Council delete the recommendations contained in the report from the director Community Planning and to insert city council refused a zoning bylaw amendment application to permit a gas station and associated commercial building at the property of 1391 Western Road and City Council, director city solicitor, probe proba city staff to attend the local planning appeal, Tribune and support of the city's Council decision.

D

Should the refusal be appealed, it's it's absolute when this application, when I was informed of the application immediately I had had concerns on it of it, strongly opposed the application for a gas station and there's no point, in my opinion, I'm supporting the residents of Mount Dennis. As you know, we just proved the planning study. We don't need a gas station and that that we actually refused the application, because I do not support a gas station at this site in Mount Dennis and that's the position that I have with my community. Any.

A

Further speakers, the item sitting down the motion is on the screen amendment all in favor opposed carried recess to 1:30.
