it
staff

To
help
with
your

I
would
like
to
remind
staff
to
keep
their
mics
muted
and
their
videos
turned
off
unless
they
need
to
answer
questions
or
speak
to
those

the
committee.
A
This
will
make
it
easier
for
me
as
chair
and
for
those
watching
on
youtube
to
observe
members
as
they
participate
in
the
debate
and
vote
on
items.
I
remind
members
to
please
keep
on
your
cameras

that
we
can
ensure
quorum
which,
for
today's
meeting
is
for
participants
for
those
members
who
are
joining
us
remotely.
Please
keep
your
mic
muted
unless
you
wish
to
question
staff
or
speak
to
an
item,
ensure
that
your
video
is
turned
on
as
part
of
each
agenda
item.
A
I
will
ask
members
to
raise
their
hand
or
unmute
their
mic
if
they
wish
to
speak

question
staff

speak.
I
will
then
create
a
speakers
list
and
we'll
call
on
members
when
it
is
their
turn
to
speak.
When
voting
on
an
item
or
emotion,
I
ask
members
ensure
their
video
is
on
and
raise
their
hands.
I
think
we
covered
that
to
ensure
I
see
you
keep
your
mics
and
your
hands
up
mike's
on
hands
up
members.
A
I
want
to
remind
you

the
clerk
staff
will
be
printing
motions
for
your

Sorry

not
be

motions
for
your
review.
If
you
need
to
confer
with
clerk
staff
in
the

you
must
stay
two
meters
apart
at
all
time,
staff
are

A
I

I
can
ask
you
and
give
you
the
opportunity
to
speak,
although
we
are
in
different
locations
and
meeting
remotely
today,
the
community
council
would
like
to
acknowledge
that
the
land
we
are
meeting
on
is
the
traditional
territory
of
many
nations,
including
the
mississaugas
of
the
credit,
the
anishnabe,
the
chippewan
and
the
wendata
peoples.
It
is
now
home
to
many
diverse
first
nations
inuit
and
metis
people.
We
also
acknowledge
that
toronto
is
covered
by
treaty

with
the
mississaugas

We
need

There
are
seven
deputies.
I
will
hold
this

A
There

also
a
technical

I
am
asking
be
posted
and
pre-circulated
for
your

A
C
A
B
A
A
A
A
A
A
All
is
opposed.
Item
carries
next,
is
item
1710,
speed,
reduction
on
port
union
road
south
of
lawrence
avenue
east.
This
is
in
ward
25,
my
community.
It
is
a
minor
section
of
road
400
meters
which
we
were
shocked
to
find
when
there
was
no
speed
posted
that
the
speed
was
50.
and
we'd
like
to
make
that
30
consistent
with
active
to
that
is
now
in
that
area.
C
D
C
C
I
I
like
to
quickly
do
do
a
little
bit
speak
on
the
item,
because
this
is
chair,
because
this
is
a
very
you
know,
a
massive
development
in
my
ward,
so
I
like
to
make
more
residents
to
be
aware.
So
that's
why
the
reason
for
expanding
the
circulation
area
to
300
meters
of
the
application
site.
Thank
you.
A
E
E
E
So
myself
and
most
of
people
live
living
here,
you
see
secondary
because
which
is
busy.
So
actually
is
this
very
busy
street,
especially
during
rush
hour
morning
or
afternoon,
and
putting
this
entrance
of
this
building
on
yesterday.
This
really
doesn't
work
and
I
live
there.
I
know
what
will
happen
because
the
intersection
or
the
entrance
of
this
building
to
intersection
of
pharmacy
it's
around
50
meter
only
and
it's
one
way.
E
So
you
will
see
that
especially
from
4
to
7
pm
in
winter
or
end
of
hour,
because
morning
sometime
people
go
early,
so
I
feel
that
especially
during
the
snow,
no
one
can
drive
in
this
area,
so
the
entrance
from
pharmacy
to
this
building
is
very,
like
short,
distance,
50
meter.
That
will
make
headache
for
a
traffic
hundred
percent.
E
So
this
is
my
first
concern.
My
second
concern
is
for
banning
the
apartment.
Maybe
the
owner
doesn't
know,
so
there
is
actually
now
a
free
development
on
sisterly.
I
want
to
mention
opposite
my
home
or
opposite
3050.
There
is
3079
pharmacy,
so
this
is
a
new
development.
We
are,
you
are
doing,
85
town
houses,
so
this
is
me
maybe
100
car,
maybe
300
people.
E
So
this
is
another
density.
You
are
adding
a
lot
of
people
to
this
area
and
plus
the
this
tower
will
be
maybe
303
units.
So
maybe
the
consultant
engineer
or
doesn't
know
about
this
project,
so
that
would
make
a
lot
of
a
traffic
unbelievable
for
this
area
and
on
other
side
victoria
and
more
can
be
so.
This
is
continuous
to
chester.
E
E
E
He
write
in
pharmacy
and
he
put
in
out
this
is
extra
insulation,
and
maybe
he
reduced
some
unit.
This
is
fine.
The
last
item
I
want
to
mention
when
you
put
down
houses
in
3079
pharmacy,
intersection
with
chester
lee
or
the
rodney,
would
be
hunting
there.
We
lose
them
all.
We
lose
this
existing
mall
and
you
change
it
to
townhouses,
and
this
mall
has
a
lot
of
service
to
our
neighborhood
like
laundry
pharmacy.
Thank
you.
E
E
A
F
F
F
Oh
okay,
that's
that's
fair
enough.
It
had
some
very
good
visuals
of
the
proposal
and
it
had
a
site
plan
which
showed
access
and
parking
and
open
space
and
amenity
areas
for
the
development.
So
I
thought
it
would
be
helpful
for
the
councillors
and
for
the
public
to
see
it,
but
I
quite
understand
if
it's
not
it's
not
possible
park.
F
We
wanted
to
thank
staff
for
all
their
work
on
reviewing
the
application
on
preparing
the
report
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
counselor
and
the
counselors,
and
also
members
of
the
public
who
we
met
with
on
several
occasions.
We
are
fully
in
support
of
the
council
resolutions
and
I
just
want
to
give
a
brief
overview
of
what's
being
proposed.
F
The
the
proposed
building
is
16
stories,
high,
we're
having
a
approximate
growth
floor
area
of
about
28
000
square
meters.
We
are
proposing
303
units
rental
units,
importantly,
a
very
significant
number
of
two
and
three
bedroom
units.
Approximately
fifty
percent
of
the
units
will
be
two
bedrooms
and
seventeen
percent
of
the
units
will
be
three
bedrooms,
so
this
is
going
to
serve
a
very
important
family
component
that
is
needed
in
this
area
of
scarborough
in
terms
of
amenity
space.
F
In
terms
of
looking
at
impact
on
adjacent
properties,
we
did
a
detailed
track,
a
shadow
study
and
we
looked
at
the
shadows
on
the
townhouse
complex
both
to
the
west
and
to
the
residential
area
to
the
east
on
the
other
side
of
pharmacy,
and
it
has
very
limited
shadowing
impact
and
it
really
does
not.
Although
I
read
carefully
the
comments
from
the
condominium
corporation
to
the
east,
I
it
really
does
not
shadow
their
building
in
any
significant
way,
and
it
does
not
in
fact
impact
their
views
in
any
significant
way.
F
F
Eight
trees
will
be
injured,
but
importantly,
107
new
trees
will
be
planted,
and
these
will
include
maple
birch
elm
oak
tulip.
Trees
and
white
pines
so
we're
taking
out
yes
existing
trees
and
we're
putting
in
a
much
wider
selection
of
trees
and
a
better
selection
of
trees
for
for
the
property.
So
just
in
conclusion,
it
is
a
wonderful
project.
It's
serving
an
important
need.
It
will
provide
a
limited
amount
of
affordable
housing,
affordable
rental
housing
as
well
as
rental
housing,
and
we
urge
council
to
support
your
staff's
recommendations.
A
A
B
A
D
D
D
A
A
A
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Actually,
I'd
like
to
first
thanks
bob,
and
I
thank
the
applicant
for
making
affordable
rental
buildings
in
scarborough.
This
is
actually
has
brought
back.
Some
nostalgia
to
me
because
this
is
the
building
that
I
actually
live
in
when
I
first
immigrated
to
toronto
in
the
70s
and
it
was
affordable
rental.
This
is
a
very,
very
good
opportunity
for
people
who
will
save
up
and
to
buy
their
first
house.
Actually,
I've
moved
to
my
first
house
in
the
ward
in
the
1970s.
C
Before
I
moved
to
my
first
house,
I
actually
was
living
in
this
building
and
it's
really
really
good,
and
I
just
wanted
to
commend
the
park
property
management
for
doing
such
a
good
job
in
providing
these
kind
of
inventory
for
our
affordable
rentals
in
scarborough,
and
I
would
be
supporting
the
recommendation.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
A
G
G
G
The
proposed
building
that
has
been
designed
by
ark
architects
has
been
well
conceived
in
terms
of
its
design,
materials
and
word
is
situated
on
the
site
back
from
finch
avenue
and
on
an
existing
par
paved
parking
area.
Pardon
me
the
massing
and
scale
the
proposed
development
is
appropriate
in
light
of
the
context
around
finch
and
brimley
and
finch
and
mccowan,
which
has
it's
a
mixed-use
note
with
a
number
of
tall
buildings
in
the
range
of
10
to
20
stories,
of
which
we
are
at
the
lower
end
of
that
range.
G
In
terms
of
the
official
plan
and
the
zoning
bylaw,
this
use
is
normally
allowed
as
a
right
within
the
designation
and
the
zone,
and
it's
only
because
of
the
former
use
of
this
site
as
the
vic
police
college,
in
which
that
was
declared
surplus
by
toronto
police
services
and
it
had
a
site-specific
zoning
on
it.
So
we're
looking
to
re-establish
that,
so
it's
appropriate.
G
I
agree
with
all
of
its
conclusions
and
recommendations
and
like
the
applications
before
you,
we
worked
very
well
with
staff
in
the
counselor's
office
and
responded
to
many
issues
that
they
raised
and
and
made
changes
to
the
plans
in
quite
a
collaborative
manner.
So
that's
my
conclusions.
I
look
for
your
support
in
adoption
of
the
sony
bylaw
and
I'm
available
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
on
the
school
or
the
application
itself.
Thank
you.
C
C
Would
it
be
fencing
around
it,
because
north
of
the
site
is
brimly
woods
and
we've
got
some
residents
concerned
about
how
we
can
actually
to
secure
that
area
so
that
the
students
would
not
be
able
to?
You
know
go
further
to
to
the
brimming
wood
area.
So
could
you
describe
to
me
about
the
site
layout
about
the
fan
defense
behind
the
on
the
northern
portion
of
the
site?
Please.
G
G
I
believe
back
in
february
that
area
which
borders
brimley
woods
park,
they're
they're
willing
to
be
a
fence
along
the
entirety
of
the
the
northern
edge
of
the
property,
and
there
will
not
be
any
ability
for
crossover
between
the
two
facilities.
If,
if
students
or
teachers
wish
to
you,
know,
walk
through
the
park,
they
would
have
to
walk
up
to
brimley
around
through
the
regular
entrance
that
everybody
else
would
use.
A
C
B
Good
morning,
scarborough
community
council,
it's
my
pleasure
to
direct
the
question
to
christian
ventresca
who's
handling
the
file
as
we
lost
one
of
our
planners
dealing
with
this
to
another
municipality
christian.
Take
it
away,
thank
you
and
through
the
chair,
the
material
required
to
resolve
that
condition
has
been
submitted
and
is
under
review.
Currently
it
was
circulated
and
is
under
review
so
subject
to
the
regular
circulation
timelines.
B
C
So
on
that
note,
I
I
would
support
the
recommendation
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
staff
for
such
an
amazing
job,
even
during
the
covet
19
pandemic
in
working
and
concluding
this
file,
and
also
like
to
thank
the
the
planner
and
for
the
proponent
for
this
for
the
hard
work
than
the
tireless
efforts,
if
exhibited
throughout
the
this
whole
process.
Thank
you
and
that's
that's
my
comment,
madam
chair.
A
A
H
H
H
We
did
get
a
little
bit
slowed
down.
We
had
our
public
meeting
in
february
immediately
before
global
shutdown.
We
did
get
slowed
down
a
little
bit
and
there
was
a
bit
of
market
insert
insecurity,
but
we
are
back
and
rolling.
Now
the
house
on
the
site
hasn't
actually
been
used
for
residential.
In
many
years.
It
was
actually
the
office
for
a
landscape
business
that
went
under
about
four
years
ago.
H
H
There's
been
a
number
of
fires
inside
the
house
that
have
made
it
an
unsafe
environment.
The
roof
is
sagging,
it's
a
pretty
rough
shape.
We've
had
the
toronto
police
services,
attend
the
site
and
removed
the
squatters,
and
they
at
that
time
asked
me
to
ensure
that
we
get
this
thing
knocked
down
as
as
possible.
It
is
unsafe.
A
C
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair.
Given
the
circumstances
with
with
this
site
and
because
it's
being
vandalized
several
times,
this
is
a
very
unique
situation,
so
I
would
be
supporting
a
move
that
option
three
be
allowed
for
the
demolition
of
the
property
and
then
provided
that
the
the
condition
with
the
the
owner
to
upkeep
the
site
in
a
safe
safely.
You
know
really
guiding
the
safety
safety
of
the
of
the
area,
so
I
would
be
happy
to
move
for
option
three.

A
A
Thank
you
any
additional
speakers.
I'll
just
quickly
say,
council
lie
you're
a
popular
person
every
day.
Thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward
as
it
is
on
the
boundary
between
our
two
wards.
So
I
appreciate
that
you're
looking
after
the
safety
of
both
your
residents
as
well
as
mine,
through
this
item,
we
can
call
the
vote
on
that.
All
those
in
favor
all
is
opposed.
