at

Manor
Road

Ward,

Cal,
sir
mat
law.
B
Well,
obviously,
I
move
the
recommendations
and
I'll
just
be
very
briefly
just
to
let
you
know
what
we're
doing.
You
may
remember.
A
couple
years
ago
we
had
a
big
fight
to
protect
green
space
at
the
gleam
adder
bowling
club,
along
with
working
very
cordially
with
the
man
eroded,
United
Church,
to
work
out
a
deal
to
acquire
green
space
in
the
new
park
at
their
site.
We
were
successful
with
your
support
and
now
we're
moving
ahead
with
the
names
at
the
Glee
Manor
bowling
club.
B
We're
gonna
be
calling
it
the
Manor
community
green
and
at
the
at
the
the
church
site,
we're
gonna
be
naming
the
park,
Cudmore
Creek
Park
to
celebrate
the
lost
river
that
runs
beneath
it
along
Foreman
Avenue
and
we're
naming
the
playground
after
Mona
Piper
Mona
Piper
was
a
dear
friend
of
mine
and
a
dear
friend
of
the
entire
community.
She
she
just
died
in
the
past
year
and
Mona
served
our
community
as
Toronto's
longest
serving
crossing
guard
for
43
years.
B
She
originally
was
at
the
corner
of
Davisville
and
Cleveland,
and
then
she
moved
to
Millwood
in
Cleveland
and
she
didn't.
She
didn't
not
only
protected.
Kids,
the
first
generation
of
kids
who
went
to
Maurice
Cote
public
school.
She
then
looked
out
for
their
kids
and
then
they
looked.
She
looked
out
for
their
grandkids,
so
we
love
Mona
and
our
community
couldn't
think
of
a
better
way
to
celebrate
her
than
to
name
a
playground
where
our
kid
you're
gonna
be
playing.
So
I
I
would
appreciate
your
support.

I

and
I
go
through
it.
You
think
you
folks
are
familiar
with
this
one.
It's
it's
the
usual
clean
the
street,
make
sure
that
you
don't
impede
pedestrian
safety.
You
do
everything
you
can
to
consult
and
communicate
with
the
local
community.
A
You
install
appropriate
signage,
including
converging
mirrors,
to
ensure
the
pedestrians,
cyclists
and
motorists
are
safe
and
you
direct
them
to
establish

and
to
invite
local
stakeholders,
transportation

and
you
maintain
a

I
reluctantly

reluctant,
because
this

another
OMB
approval.
A
So
it's
such
a
slap
in
the
face
that
we
have
to
now
give

after
the
OMB
ruled
against
the
local
community.

We

31
point
105,
but
before
we
do
that,
I
have
a
very
before
1:06.
Thank
you
it's
with
with
a
bit
of
a
heavy
heart
and
a
lot
of
regret
that,
where
I
have
to
acknowledge
that
our
downtown
manager,
planning,
David
okawa
is
retiring
and
I,
think
many
of
us
would
share
in
the
sentiments
that
David
has
been
incredible
to
work
with.
A
This
will
be
his
very
last
meeting
with
us
for
the
members
of
the
public
who
are
aware
of
David's
skills.
You
will
know
that
I
scan
I'm
sure
I
can
convey
that
you
share
your
your
sense
of
loss.
David
has
spent
38
years
as
a
planner
with
the
City
of
Toronto
and
all
for
the
exception
of
three
in
the
public
sector.
A
So
he's
our
guy
and
he
worked
in
the
former
borough
of
East
York,
the
Etobicoke
York
planning
office,
the
manager
of
Midtown
in
Toronto,
East
York
and
is
now
the
downtown
manager
of
tomorrow
assured
he
promises
not
to
come
back
as
a
consultant
in
the
lobbies
and
I
checked
with
him
multiple
times
on
that,
and
he
says
that
he
will
continue
to
keep
an
eye
on
us
at
every
single
public
meeting.
So
we
have
to
be
on
our
best.
A
Behavior
and
I
can
say
that
as
someone
who's
worked
with
David
from
the
beginning
of
my
term
when
he
was
a
manager
of
Midtown
and
then
we
moved
downtown
because
we're
27
gets
to
have
both
pieces.
He
has
just
been
exceptional
to
work
with
and
I
know
that
my
staff
and
I
will
greatly
miss
him
in
his
thoughtful
leadership
through
the
planning
process,
through
tough
conversations
where
he
never
ever
gives
up
on.
A
C
You
and
I'm
going
to
be
moving
the
staff
recommendations
and
just
if
I
could
indulge
the
audience
for
30
seconds,
there
are
25
lanes
that
are
being
named
as
part
of
this
today
and
that's
because
over
two
and
a
half
years
the
Seton
Village
residents
association
with
the
subcommittee
has
gone
through
an
extensive
process
of
research,
contacting
families
and
coming
up
with
a
democratic
model
for
coming
up
with
Lane
ways
and
I
just
want
to
thank
them
for
all
their
hard
work
and
to
move
staff
recommendations
for
the
laneway
naming.
Okay.
A
K
E
E
G
A
I
I
I
He
was
a
wonderful
person
born
in
Trinidad,
participated
in
all
kinds
of
civil
rights
issues,
and
debates
in
the
City
of
Toronto
was
very
influential
in
the
start
of
Caribana.
Now
known
as
that
care
being
carnival,
and
this
one
is
richly
deserved
for
him.
The
second
one
is
Don
Frank's
Lane
people
might
remember
him
as
a
Canadian
actor,
vocalist
and
Jazmyn
jazz
musician.
I
He
was
a
very
active
on
Aboriginal
issues
as
well,
and
the
third
one
is
Nick
beep
Antonio
laneway
in
the
village
war
till
village,
he
his
family,
his
family,
has
had
the
oldest
built
village
oldest
business
in
the
village
operating
continuously
since
1931.
That's
a
lot
of
hair
and
the
barber
yes
make.
The
barber,
like
he'd,
probably
cut
your
hair.
I
You're
probably
conflicted
on
this
just
kidding,
so
he
also
not
only
did
he
cut
the
hair
of
or
the
family
anyway
cut
the
hair
of
many
many
a
person
in
the
forest
hill
village.
They
also
had
a
charity
golf
tournament
that
they
ran
for
many
years
and
raised
all
kinds
of
money
in
the
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
for
the
Hospital
for
Sick
Children.
So
these
three
are
went
through
a
very
good
process.

the
zoning
bylaw
amendment
I
gathered
200
signatures
209
to
be
exact,
so
I'm
speaking
for
209
voices.
Today,
this
is
in
your
package.
Second
point
protection.
D
The
staff
report
failed
to
sufficiently
address
key
elements
within
the
downtown
tall
building,
skyline
and
tall
buildings
design
guideline
adopted
by
Toronto
City
Council
May
of
2013.
The
purpose
of
these
guidelines
is
to
protect
the
people
living
and
working
downtown
with
a
unified
set
of
performance
measures
by
allowing
this
proposed
development
to
circumvent
the
obligations
of
the
guidelines
with
less
than
minimum
standards,
undermined
the
guidelines
itself
and
would
fail
to
protect
the
residents
in
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
D
For
example,
the
proposal
violates
page
six
of
the
downtown
tall
building
guideline
with
respect
to
height
proposed
building
number
one
is
on
a
secondary
high
street,
so
the
height
should
be
one-third
lower
than
the
high
street
runs
parallel
to
one
third
lower
translates
to
thirty
to
thirty
seven
storeys,
not
thirty-nine
stories,
so
the
proposals
building
number
one
is
at
least
two
storeys
too
high.
This
excessive
height
diminishes
and
blocks
the
sky
views
and
casts
excessive
shadowing
another
example.
D
The
proposal
violates
page
52
of
the
tall
buildings
design
guidelines
with
respect
to
separation,
distances
that
building
separation
be
a
minimum
of
25
metres,
the
separation
distance
between
the
proposed
site
and
the
RC.
My
building
is
twenty-one
point
three
meters,
which
is
four
metres
below
the
minimum.
This
creates
a
loss
of
privacy
for
the
occupants.
Third
and
last
point
phony
data.
There
is
questionable
and
dishonest
behavior
by
the
developer.
In
the
architectural
drawings
there
is
misinformation
and
inaccuracies.
D
Second
image
here
is
a
misstatement
of
fact
that
the
RC
my
building
is
hundred
and
forty
seven
meters
high,
when
it
is
really
a
hundred
and
thirty
five
meters
high
a
12
meter
overstatement.
How
can
you
trust
the
developer
and
the
proposal
with
two
clear
technical
inaccuracies
found?
What
else
is
false
and
untrue
with
the
submission
by
the
developers
that
the
staff
report
used
to
form
its
recommendation.
A
F
The
proposal
before
you,
while
it's
not
typically,
if
a
height
that
I
don't
like
in
our
neighborhood,
has
a
number
of
community
benefits
and
we've
been
involved
in
extensive
discussions
and
participation
throughout
the
course
of
this
application.
I
have
some.
There
is
a
letter
from
our
president,
which
is
item
31.5,
in
which
we
identify
the
issues.
Some
of
the
issues
that
are
of
concern
to
the
Association
and
councillor
Krusty
has
kindly
agreed
to
move
resolutions
regarding
these.
F
Participation
in
the
site
plan
review
process,
among
other
things,
one
of
the
reasons
that
we've
requested
to
be
involved
with
developing
a
process
for
the
allocation
that
convening
space,
which
will
be
of
great
benefit
to
organizations
right
across
the
city,
is,
is
that
I
know
how
the
city's
pre-approve
group
list
works
and
it
could
include
everybody
I,
don't
even
know
how
many
people
are
on
that
list.
So
we
wanted.
F
There
are
many
issues
that
you
raised
by
the
prior
deputed,
which
are
of
course
concerned,
but
we
feel
that
they've
been
more
or
less
addressed
and
the
particular
building
that
was
referenced
has
had
itself
exempt
for
many
many
many
provisions
of
the
Official
Plan
having
lived
in
that
neighborhood
for
since
1971
I'm,
fully
aware
of
some
of
those
things,
there's
always
a
trade-off,
and
we
had.
We
believe
that
the
having
at
pops
and
a
public
park
on
the
site
is
also
really
important
and
we're
glad
to
see
those
so
max
will
also
speak.
K
Hello
working
with
Len
Terra
and
the
city
on
this
project
has
been
a
delight
now.
When
was
the
last
time
you
heard
somebody
say
that
no
I
don't
know.
This
is
different.
I
think
that
when
this
is
built,
everybody
will
be
pleased.
The
addition
of
the
park
owned
by
the
city
down
to
the
center
of
the
earth
will
be
a
jewel
in
the
neighborhood.
We
are
going
to
work
on
the
public,
art
component
and
I
expect
we'll
come
up
with
something
unusual
and
satisfactory
here.
K
One
trouble
that
this
development
proposal
raises
is
the
intersection
of
st.
Patrick,
Street
and
Dundas,
which
is
a
terrible
intersection.
Now
it
will
get
worse
with
more
traffic,
both
from
the
south
and
from
the
north,
and
something
creative,
inventive
and
probably
unprecedented,
has
to
be
done
at
that
corner
and
I
think
it
will
be
in
general.
This
is
a
great
project
and
I
think
everybody
will
like
it
when
it's
done
getting
it
done
as
usual
will
be
difficult,
but
the
end
result
I
think
will
please
you.
A
A
M
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today,
Thank
You
councillor
Kressley,
for
endorsing
Toronto
foundation
to
be
part
of
this
opportunity.
I
really
just
wanted
to
take
just
a
couple
of
minutes
to
express
our
gratitude
to
be
part
of
the
potential
that
is
this
build
I
would
concur
with
our
previous
debutantes.
In
terms
of
the
experience
we've
had
working
both
with
the
city
and
with
land
Terra
Toronto
Foundation
has
been
around
for
nearly
40
years.
M
You
may
not
know
a
great
deal
of
the
history
of
the
community
in
this
country,
but
they
exist
in
every
community
and
they
exist
to
serve
those
communities
in
perpetuity
and
in
that
way,
Toronto
Foundation
is
actually
one
of
the
young
ones.
I
like
to
think
of
us.
As
a
teenager
in
the
community
foundation
movement,
the
oldest
in
Canada,
is
in
Winnipeg.
M
It
will
turn
100
in
a
couple
of
years
and
the
biggest
is
in
Vancouver,
which
has
over
1.2
billion
dollars
in
assets,
so
Toronto
Foundation
I've,
been
there
for
18
months
now,
aspires
to
greatness
and
aspires
to
doing
big
things
for
the
City
of
Toronto.
The
one
project
that
you
may
be
very
familiar
with
I
hope
you're
familiar
with
is
our
vital
science
report.
In
fact,
I
brought
my
dog
eared
copy
with
me
today.
M
I
hope
you
all
have
all
received
your
copies,
and
this
is
a
report
the
Toronto
Foundation
has
been
doing
for
16
years
and
it
measures
quality
of
life
in
the
city
this
year.
For
the
first
time,
we
added
an
equity
lens,
because
we
wanted
to
look
at
the
increasing
challenges.
Many
in
our
population
find
themselves
living
different
lives.
M
A
data
point
you
won't
find
in
vital
signs,
but
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
today,
is
that
60%
of
all
donations
in
the
city
in
this
country
and
the
city
flowed
only
1%
of
the
organizations
that
exist
to
serve,
and
that
is
something
we'd
like
to
disrupt
and
having
the
opportunity
to
raise.
The
voices
convene
the
small
and
mighty
organizations
that
are
doing
the
hard
work
on
the
intractable
issues
is
a
piece
of
work.
M
We
will
be
able
to
extend
greatly
with
this
opportunity
to
move
into
this
space
and
have
a
thousand
square
feet
of
convening
space.
These
organizations
live
and
work
out
of
kitchen
tables
and
basements
and
back
offices,
and
to
be
able
to
provide
professional
space
where
they
can
meet
with
their
constituents
with
their
key
stakeholders
and
develop
their
plans
and
engage
in
their
city
would
be
very
meaningful,
and
so
I
really
just
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
today
to
reinforce
that
the
section
37
money
you
would
be
spending
not
just
on
us.
M
A
E
Will
be
brief,
we'll
let
the
deputy
didn't
speak
shortly.
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
we're
joined
today
by
30
students
from
the
grade
five
class,
a
diefenbaker,
Elementary
School
who've,
come
to
see
democracy
in
action
and
thanks
so
much
colleagues
for
allowing
me
this
moment
to
interrupt
the
proceedings
to
so
case
these
kids,
then
let
them
see
a
little
bit
of
this
hearing.
That's
taking
place
right
now,.
A
D
Morning,
members
of
council
I'm
here
to
briefly
walk
you
through
the
design
that
we
have
been
working
very
closely
with
staff
and
the
community
and
the
counselor
on
I've
got
two
sets
of
images.
One
is
a
site
plan
that
shows
essentially
the
the
site
in
its
consolidated
format,
where
the
green
pea
parking
and
the
existing
Bank
computer
building
will
be
replaced
by
three
new
buildings.
The
three
buildings
are
located
in
fronting
along
st.
Patrick
and
also
along
Simcoe
Street,
and
then
in
the
southwest
quadrant.
D
We
have
an
on-site
Park
dedication
of
approximately
a
thousand
square
meters
or
10,000
square
feet
that
you
can
see
in
the
lower
right
hand,
corner
of
the
image
and
sorry
left-hand
corner
of
the
image,
and
it
is
the
the
green
block.
That's
shown
there.
The
towers
range
in
height
from
39
to
35
to
17
stories.
We've
worked
very
carefully
with
staff
to
ensure
that
there
is
no
impact
or
minimum
impact
on
the
surrounding
context
and
most
of
and
if
not
all,
of
the
city's
tall
building
guidelines
have
been
met.
D
Oh,
so
we've
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
again
working
with
staff
in
the
community
to
make
sure
that
this
is
a
very
high-quality
mixed-use
project,
with
a
combination
of
retail
at
the
base
that
heavily
animates
a
mid
block
connection
and
also
we're
providing
a
component,
a
large
component
of
office
to
replace
the
office
that's
being
displaced.
And
then
we
have
residential
uses
again.
That
are
consistent
with
the
intention
of
the
Official
Plan
in
this
area.
In
the
three
towers
that
we're
providing.
H
And
I
just
like
to
close
with
with
three
points:
I
guess
the
first
would
be
to
thank
city
staff
for
their
effort.
It's
been
it's
been
as
Maxon
c2
indicated.
It's
been
a
really
positive
process.
We've
been
through,
it's
been
a
long
process,
but
it's
been
a
good
one
and
I
wanted
to
thank
staff
and
MS
McHale
point
in
particular
for
all
our
efforts
over
the
last
two
and
a
half
to
three
years,
we're
very
proud
of
the
project
that
David
has
just
described
in
addition
to
the
the
building
itself.
H
There's
an
extensive
section,
37
contribution
coming
to
the
coming
to
the
city
into
this
neighborhood.
You
heard
about
the
Toronto
foundation
space
going
in
the
building,
David
referred
to
the
office
replacing
space
and
the
park,
there's
also
a
pops
extensive
public
art.
We
are
providing
a
tipi,
a
parking
garage
within
the
building
and
additional
funding
for
other
benefits
in
the
area,
including
affordable
housing
and
further
nonprofit
office.
Space
I
did
want
to
touch.
H
Finally,
on
the
the
comment
from
the
first
gentleman
who
spoke
about
the
phony
data
and
the
dishonest
behavior
of
my
client
I
think
the
gentleman
has
perhaps
misunderstood
the
drawings,
the
the
sketch
that
he
put
up
on
the
board.
He
has
incorrectly
labeled
all
of
the
building
heights,
not
only
the
proposed
types
but
the
the
are
CMI
building
height.
He
may
or
may
not
be
aware
that
there
is
a
mechanical
pentose
which
forms
part
of
that
building,
which
is
twelve
and
a
half
meters
high.
H
The
height
of
that
building
is
in
fact,
significantly
taller
than
the
proposal
here.
There
is
nothing
inaccurate
or
dishonest
about
the
the
materials
prepared
by
mr.
Pancho
any,
and
the
gentleman
simply
has
his
facts
wrong
and
in
terms
of
the
tall
building
setback
requirements.
He's
also
suggestion
the
proposal
contravenes
in
relation
to
the
RC
mi
building
and,
and
it
doesn't
not.
H
The
building
was
designed
specifically
with
the
RC
mi
building
and
in
mind,
and
the
twelve
twelve
and
a
half
metre
setback
is
met
opposite
that
building
so
again,
I
want
to
thank
staff
I
understand
the
counselor
has
a
motion
to
provide
for
some
further
community
consultation
as
we
move
forward
to
the
site
plan
approval
process.
My
clients
worked
very
well
with
the
neighbors
and
is
quite
happy
to
continue
to
do
so
as
we
move
forward.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
A
E
E
E
E
A
C
You
and
so
I'll
direct
my
questions
to
to
Linda
MacDonald
and
Sue
mcalpine
and
planning
over
the
last
three
and
a
half
years.
There's
been
a
number
of
discussions
and
revisions
related
to
heights.
Could
you
go
through
the
the
changes
in
heights
of
the
peak
building
and
there's
some
suggestion
or
questions,
we're
related
to
the
tall
building
guidelines
and
I'd
like
to
understand
whether
this
conforms
are
not
with
the
tall
building
guidelines
from
a
high
to
a
secondary
High
Street
through.
I
You,
madam
chair
I'll,
I'll,
answer
your
first
question
Chancellor
and
then
I'll
pass
it
over
to
my
colleague
sue
in
terms
of
the
tall
building
guidelines.
It
certainly
does
meet
that
criteria
in
the
sense
that
the
tall
building
guidelines
talk
about
secondary
streets
being
one-third
lower
than
Main
streets,
and
in
this
case
we
do
have
an
approved
building
which
is
under
construction
right
now,
which
is
207
meters
at
the
corner
of
Dundas
and
University.
I
So,
in
order
to
meet
that
criteria,
the
building
would
have
to
be
lower
than
a
hundred
and
thirty
six
meters,
and
indeed
it
actually
is
the
proposed
building-
is
a
hundred
and
twenty
seven
meters.
So
it
actually
does
meet
that
criteria.
If
you
look
at
it
in
terms
of
metric
height,
and
that
is
what
staff
look
at
okay.
C
I
C
I
C
There's
been
some
conversation
of
separation,
distances
and
I
know
it's
a
it's
a
big
topic
in
the
conversation
of
livability
at
the
moment
downtown
with
vertical
living
can
can,
can
somebody
can
staff
go
through
the
separation
distances
and
whether
this
building
meets
the
separation
distances
around
around
it's
three
buildings?
Certainly.
I
And
through
through
the
chair,
the
building
certainly
does
meet
its
its
obligations
on
its
site
in
terms
of
meeting
25
meters
between
towers
or
12,
and
a
half
meters
to
a
lot
line,
and
that's
also
key
in
terms
of
the
guidelines.
This
meeting,
not
only
the
separation
distance
to
between
towers,
but
also
to
a
lot
line.
In
this
case,
the
building
is,
is
set
back
twelve
and
half
meters
to
the
north,
and
this
is
actually
important
because
it
creates
an
offset
between
this
building
and
426
university.
I
C
But
on
the
separation
distances,
because
I've
heard
from
a
number
of
constituents
and
residents
of
4:26
University,
the
RC
mi
building,
including
here
today
so
I-
understand
that
this
building
is
meeting
its
twelve
and
a
half
metre
separation.
Distance.
But
is
it?
Is
it
under
25
metres
between
this
proposed
building
and
426
University
correct.
I
C
E
C
E
C
C
A
A
C
C
The
second
is,
as
it
relates
to
community
space,
which
I'll
go
into
more
detail
on
related
to
the
convening
space
and
establishing
a
process
for
allocating
that
space.
The
third
is
to
ensure
that
the
local
community
is
involved
in
the
site
plan
process,
and
the
fourth
and-
and
this
relates
specifically
to
the
final
deputing-
relates
to
an
comments
from
max
Allen.
C
The
transportation
challenges
which
exists
today
and
will
continue
to
exist
unless
we
get
our
head
around
it
through
a
more
robust
and
detailed
transportation
study,
as
well
as
the
installation
of
a
traffic
light
towards
that.
With
that
I'll
say
a
few
words
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
begin
by
thanking
our
city
of
Toronto
staff
in
across
departments
planning,
urban
design,
PF
and
our
the
Toronto
parking
authority
and
real
estate.
This
has
been
a
long
process
and
our
staff
of
being
at
the
front
of
it.
C
The
many
residents
who've
been
engaged
over
three
and
a
half
years
on
this
project.
Both
the
Grange
Community
Association
adjacent
TCH
see
buildings
condo
boards
like
426,
like
426
University.
This
is
their
involvement,
is
made
for
a
much
much
better
project
and
it's
because
of
their
concerns
and
suggestions
that
we've
been
able
to
do
that
and
finally
to
Atlanta.
C
Not
all
projects
go
three
and
a
half
years
before
coming
here
and
those
that
go
three
and
a
half
years
usually
go
through
a
board
process
in
the
past,
though,
hopefully
not
in
the
future,
with
changes
that
wasn't
the
case
here,
there
were
three
public
meetings.
There
were
walkabouts.
There
were
two
visits
to
the
design
review
panel,
I'm,
pretty
sure
that
some
of
them
were
is
of
the
committee
lost
a
few
well
lost
their
hair,
a
la
counselor
Layton
through
this
process.
Sorry
Mike.
B
C
C
C
Enough
all
right
this
involves
city-owned
land
and
because
it
involves
city-owned
land.
It
is
absolutely
critical
that,
as
a
city
that
we
ensure
that
we
are
not
dealing
with
city-owned
land
and
potential
land
deals
from
a
single
departments,
point
of
view,
it
cannot
be
done
in
silos.
We
need
to
do
this
all
together
and
I
want
to
come
back
to
that.
C
Fundamentally
this
this
project.
There
are
four
principles
that
I
think
are
being
met,
that
I
have
used
and
evaluating
this
project.
The
first
is-
and
it
has
to
always
be
the
case-
is
good
planning
that
the
heights
and
the
shadows
meet
our
guidelines
and
that's
critical,
that
this
has
moved
from
54
to
39
stories
and
through
the
urban
design
to
mitigate
shadows
in
the
neighborhoods
Heights
and
shadows
meet
it
in
separation
distances
which
we
as
council,
through
an
OPA,
increased
to
twelve
and
a
half
meters
for
combined
25
meters.
C
That
was
done
on
this
site
and
that's
important,
it's
livable,
so
it's
not
just
that
it
meets
a
good
planning.
It
is
that
it's
little
liveable,
there
is
a
thousand
square
meter
park
that
is
going
to
be
on-site
in
an
area
of
parkland
efficiency,
there's
five
hundred
square
meters
of
privately
owned
public
space
and
improvements
to
the
public
realm
to
make
mid-block
connections
through
this,
and
there
also
37%
two
and
three
bedrooms.
So
beyond
being
good
planning
principles,
can
you
actually
live
their
families,
people
of
different
ages,
with
green
space
and
effective
public
realm?
C
Is
it
equitable?
There
is
a
commitment
to
affordable
housing,
as
always
as
the
case
in
Ward
20
into
the
comment
is:
should
that
is
there
the
option
to
look
at
whether
that
can
be
on-site
or
off-site?
Absolutely,
the
commitment
is
there
and
that
is
critical
around
equitable,
but
then
also
this
contributes
to
a
dynamic
downtown
by
contributing
to
culture
and
civic
institutions
and
nonprofits
in
our
city.
The
Toronto
foundation
will
be
part
of
this
development.
C
The
City
of
Toronto
will
own
6000
square
feet
of
space
in
this
development,
of
which
that
we
are
entering
into
a
lease
arrangement
with
the
Toronto
foundation.
It
will
include
space
5,000
square
feet
for
the
foundation,
along
with
a
thousand
square
feet
of
space
for
community
and
convening
space
that
the
foundation
is
going
to
manage,
which
I
think
will
help
to
ensure
that
the
Civic
institutions
remain
our
nonprofits.
Our
community
groups
are
part
of
downtown
and
the
public
art
contribution
will
be
done
without
that
I'm
gonna
close
just
with
two
lessons
on
this.
C
C
This
is
a
reminder
to
all
to
all
of
us
to
follow
staff
advice
when
it
comes
to
good
planning
principles,
because
the
concerns
that
are
raised,
which
are
real
by
4:26
University,
that
there's
not
25
meters
distance.
There
are
not
25
minutes
meters
distance,
but
the
development
here
meets
their
obligations
of
25
meters
of
12
and
a
half
meters.
It's
that
in
the
last
term
of
council,
the
decision
was
made
against
staff
advice
that
the
building
at
university
didn't
have
to
meet
their
separation
distance.
C
We
should
always
follow
that
those
sound
planning
principles,
less
the
residents
of
426
university
have
to
deal
with
something
like
this
again
in
another
part
of
the
city
and
with
that
I'm
proud
to
endorse
this
project.
With
the
motion
that
I've
moved
I
think
to
further
improvement,
and
those
are
my
comments,
thank
you.
Thank.
F
A
C
A
A
E
Try
that
again,
good
morning,
madam
chair
and
members
of
community
council,
my
name
is
Jessica
Smith,
kuis
and
I'm,
a
lawyer
with
Adam
Browns
office
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
Mancos
developments.
The
applicant
on
this
application
and
I
have
our
clients,
architect,
Russ
Russell
Fleischer,
with
me
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
on
our
proposal
will
be
very
brief.
We're
here
in
full
support
of
the
staff
recommendations,
our
clients,
original
application,
was
submitted
almost.
E
M
A
Thank
you
very
much
Jessica
for
your
remarks
and
do
we
have
anyone
else?
Speaking,
do
you
want
to
speak
as
well?
That
sums
it
up
any
questions
of
the
the
speaker
seeing
none.
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
members
of
the
public,
any
other
members
of
the
public
here
to
speak
to
this
matter,
we're
on
item
number
six
and
seeing
none,
then
I,
don't
have
necessarily
any
questions
of
staff.
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
just
move
a
quick
amendment.
A
A
82
I
also
want
to
thank
the
the
applicant
and
recognize
that
we
have
36%
of
two
to
three
bedroom
units
in
this
building
and
bring
members
to
their
attention,
recognizing
that
one
third
of
the
section
37
has
been
allocated
for
affordable
housing
simply
because
we
are
a
city
with
a
deep
need
of
affordable
housing.
So
that's
that's
all
I
have
to
say,
and
and
once
again
to
thank
staff
for
their
ongoing
hard
work
planning.
A
A
Are
there
any
other
members
who
would
like
to
speak
to
this
item,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
on
the
screen
any
opposed
item,
as
amended
before
you
any
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you

much:

A
E
K
A
Thank
you
very
much
Patrick.
Are
there
any
questions
of
the
of
the
speaker?
Okay,
seeing
none
and
are
there
any
other
members
of
the
public
here
to
speak
to
this
item?
We're
on
item
number:
seven:
okay,
seeing
none
members
with
questions
of
staff,
I,
don't
see
any
hands
going
up.
Then
I
would
like
to
move
the
motions.
There
are
two
motion.
H
A
So,
and
and
the
last
two
recommendations
come
from
my
office
once
again
to
ensure
that
we're
able
to
we
have
a
request
of
staff
to
create
a
construction
and
traffic
management
working
group
to
work
on
landscape
and
public
realm
plans,
as
well
as
working
on
building
materials
and
lighting.
So
this
is
essentially
working
on
the
site
plan
prior
to
a
delegator
approvals
and
to
make
sure
that
there
are.
There
is
a
clear
language
about
the
exclusion
of
permit
parking
and
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
their
report.
A
You'll
recognize
members
that
we
don't
have
any
members
of
the
community
have
out
here.
Speaking
against
this
application,
or
even
the
prior
application
know
that
staff
worked
really
hard
with
with
my
office
and
with
the
local
stakeholders,
addressing
any
questions
that
they
may
have
and
concerns
that
they
have
prior
to
even
coming
to
this
particular
forum
for
final
remarks
and
final
approval
and
and
this
particular
site
just
for
members.
A
Think
I
just
want
to
thank
the
the
applicant
as
well
as
planning
staff
for
all
their
all
their
hard
work.
So
we're
gonna
be
watching
this
part
of
the
city
continue
to
evolve
and
change,
which
I
believe
for
the
better
that
comes
with
significant
improvements.
I
won't
necessarily
read
them
all,
but
there
is
a
significant
introduction
of
green
space
and
and
pops,
and
it
really
does
connect
the
this
particular
section
of
the
of
the
city
together
and
in
a
much
intimate
break,
comprehensive
and
visionary
way.
A
So
another
city
building
adventure
moving
forward,
Thank
You
staff
for
all
your
hard
work.
I
know
that
every
you
know
we
get
to
say
a
few
words
at
the
end
of
these
very
long
processes
and
oftentimes
years
of
negotiations
and
and
that
doesn't
even
represent
the
number
of
hours
that
you
put
in
getting
it
right.
Yes,
so
thank
you
motion
before
you
on
the
screen
to
amend
the
report
any
opposed
item
as
amended
and
post
that
carries.
Thank
you

much

A
E
A
O
Thank
you
very
much.
I
live
in
533
Richmond,
Street
West,
which
is
just
adjacent,
and
a
member
of
our
community
is
quite
quite
active
with
the
Association,
the
Portland
area,
residents,
Association
and
he's
out
of
the
country,
and
he
had
asked
a
member
of
our
building
if
it's
possible
to
read
aloud
his
his
letter,
which
I
believe
is
actually
amended
to
the
item.
So
I'll
do
that.
So
again,
this
is
just
me.
O
Reading
reading
the
letter
from
the
from
the
Portland
area
resident
Association,
so
I'll
go
fast
because
it's
gonna
be
a
stretch
for
the
five
minutes
so
to
whom
it
may
concern
Portland
area
residents.
Association
is
an
interested
party
to
the
zoning
up
amendment
application
on
one
three:
five
one,
forty
three
Portland
Street
property
in
Toronto.
Unfortunately,
we
only
dis
precede
your
notice
of
community
council
meeting
on
this
matter
and
I
am
currently
out
of
Toronto
I
respectfully
ask
that
this
email
be
included
in
your
agenda.
O
We
are
aware
that
these
developers
wish
to
devastate
this
little
neighborhood
of
historic
two-story
work,
row,
houses
and
Heritage
Preservation
buildings.
We
haven't
Lee
opposed
the
height
and
density
of
the
developers
proposal
and
asked
the
City
Council
will
do
the
same.
It
was
only
months
ago
that
that
this
association,
the
developers
and
City
Council
and
OMB
appeal
agreed
to
a
much
lower
and
much
less
dense
building
directly
across
the
street.
O
From
this
one,
three
five,
two
one,
four
three
four
the
street
address,
add
four
five:
sorry,
five,
four,
three:
five:
five:
three
Bridge
Street
West
at
this
location
on
the
southwest
corner,
a
Portland
Street
in
Richmond,
Street
West.
The
final
agreement
was
for
the
following:
a
small
seven
story:
building
fronting
on
Portland
running
only
a
short
distance
south
on
Portland
Street
into
the
green
space,
frontage,
on
polar
shoot
from
there
to
the
first
two-story
historic
row
house,
a
reduction
in
height
and
density
from
the
proposed
15
stories.
O
This
parkland
space
inside
the
walk,
the
sidewalk
at
one
three,
five,
one:
three:
nine
Portland
Street
property
running
East
to
a
maximum
semanas
rebuilding
setback
at
the
east
side
of
the
entire
one,
three
five
to
one:
four:
three
for
the
street
property.
Please
note
that
the
property
directly
said
to
this
proposed
development
is
a
four
point:
five
storey
former
factory
building
that
is
under
heritage
preservation.
O
The
only
reason
we
would
accept
a
seven-story
building
budding
up
to
this
property
is
that
there
would
be
a
parking
lot
between
this
building
proposed
and
this
building
a
beautiful
historic
building
with
green
space
easing
into
it.
So
thank
you.
That's
Emerson,
Denny
president
Portland
area
residents,
Association,
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
A
Very
much
are
there
any
questions
of
the
speaker?
No
none.
Thank
you.
Christian.
Are
there
any
other
members
of
the
public
here
to
speak
to
this
matter,
we're
on
item
number
11,
seeing
none,
then
we're
going
to
bring
this
into
community
also
councillor
Krusty.
Do
you
have
questions
of
staff,
okay
to
speak,
I'm.
A
I
A
Thank
you
very
much
Kate
for
your
remarks
and
are
there
any
other
members
of
the
public
here
for
this
matter?
No,
okay,
then
we'll
just
bring
this.
Are
there
any?
Oh
sorry
max.
Did
you
want
speak
to
this?
Okay?
Please,
then,
thank
you,
crazy.
If
you
can
vacate
I'll
make
sure
that
we
can
acknowledge
max
I.
K
This
is
an
example
of
the
domino
effect
when
an
application
is
made
in
a
particular
locality
and
the
other
property
owners
nearby
look
at
the
situation
and
are
afraid
that
highest
and
best
use
is
going
to
affect
them
too.
We
think
that
the
four
applications
on
Wellington
in
this
block
at
the
moment
have
all
come
about
to
a
certain
extent
because
of
the
bread,
LEM
applications
further
east
and
what
an
application
like
that
is
in
danger
of
being
approved
in
this
case
at
the
board.
K
The
nearby
landowners
think
I'm
going
to
be
bankrupted
when
they
raise
my
municipal
taxes
to
meet
the
highest
and
best
use
criterion,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
this
site,
perhaps
misalliance,
can
talk
to
this.
And,
of
course
this
is
the
kind
of
thing
you'd
expect
a
developer
to
say
out
loud,
but
community
people
could
say
it
out
loud
and
that
is
watch
out,
as
many
of
you
are
doing
for
the
highest
and
best
use
impact
all
along
a
block
where
a
big
development
is
scheduled.
A
K
A
C
All
begin
I'm
gonna
move
staff
recommendations
which
are
to
direct
staff
to
attend
to
oppose
this
and
attend
them.
You
know
oh
and
B.
I
would
just
make
a
quick
comment
building
on
that
by
max
Allen,
which
is,
there
are
four
applications
for
currently
under
appeal
on
one
block
on
Wellington
and
to
the
comment
that
a
flawed
tax
system
can
sometimes
spur
applications.
I
would
just
make
comments
related
to
a
restaurant,
which
is
a
few
doors
away
from
this,
which
is
less
elect,
Bistro,
which,
in
a

mandated

reassessment.
C
A
two-story
restaurant
has
been
taxed
on
the
basis
of
being
an
11-story

and
so,
if
we
think
that
max
comments
aren't
real,
they
are
in
that
this
can
force
people
out
and
it's
not
the
sequencing
of
applications,
because
I
don't
want
to
speak
to
any
individual
one,
but
rather
the
flawed
provincial
model
within
highest
and
best
use,
coupled
with
a
high-growth

area,
but
I
will
be
moving
the

Thank
you.

Association.
A
N
You
Miss
Peecher
and
members
of
the
te
whai
council.
My
name
is
Andy
Gort
and
I'm.
The
president
of
the
South
Lexington
residents,
Association
the
before
I
start
I
I,
wanted
to
thank
the
council
for
your
support
for
the
O
and
be
reformed,
or
we
saw
proclamation
yesterday
for
the
new
al
Pat's
format
and
particularly
I
wanted
to
thank
our
councillor,
Josh
Matt
Lowe,
who
has
been
basically
pursuing
this
matter
for
a
long
time
and
with
a
lot
of
persistence,
and
the
community
is
very
appreciative
of
all
the
councilmembers
efforts
in
this
area.
N
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
from
the
community
about
this
development.
It
is
a
landmark
site.
That's
at
the
corner
of
Davisville
and
young,
it's
adjacent
to
the
Davis
for
public
school
and
needs
a
development
that
has
been
kind
of
semi
derelict
for
a
long
period
of
time.
There
are
a
number
of
heritage
locations
that
that
have
to
be
dealt
with
at
some
point
in
time.
On
that
site
we
are
dealing
with
a
fairly
professional
developer
and
quite
an
open
one.
N
We
just
aren't
aligned
in
terms
of
what
he
wants
and
what
we
think
is
is
good
planning.
The
the
report
that's
in
front
of
you
is
is
a
very
good
report,
very
comprehensive
report.
So
we
thank
David
Reacher
for
preparing
the
report.
We
just
have
a
couple
small
minor
points
with
the
report
being
that
we
still
would
like
to
get
a
community
consultation
meeting
things
that
moved
fairly
rapidly
and
we
are
looking
for
a
potential
to
have
multiple
access
to
this
development,
as
opposed
to
just
one.
N
In
addition,
what
we're
starting
to
see
now
is
serious
issues
on
schooling
and
serious
issues
in
terms
of
transportation
capability,
at
peak
hours
to
the
downtown
area
and
and
then
back,
and
we
have
only
seen
15
percent
of
developments
that
have
been
approved
in
our
area
that
are
actually
completed.
So
there
is
a
lot
more
a
lot
more
to
come.
N
N
At
Davisville,
we
haven't
seen
more
than
fifteen
percent
of
our
developments
as
8,000
units
coming
in
the
area
that
I
represent
south
of
Eglinton
and
east
of
young
alone.
We
have
the
LRT
coming
in
2021.
We
are
getting
to
a
stage
where
two
or
three
years
from
now,
we
all
start
to
see
some
real
congestion
in
in
that
area,
and
we
really
should
be
at
a
stage
now
where
we
say
developments
have
to
wait
till
that
is
resolved.
The
second
one
is
on
the
education
front.
N
We
are
starting
to
run
now
already
into
over
capacity
on
the
Eglinton
stool.
Typically,
it's
always
two
schools
where
most
of
the
growth
is
in
the
pipe
and
neighborhoods
they
have
moved
all
the
great
sixes
to
and
out
of
school.
Now
that
school
is
in
trouble.
They
are
moving
the
boundaries
for
the
schools
around,
but
we
seeing
a
tremendous
amount
of
growth
in
the
area.
Again,
only
15
percent
of
the
bill
is
completed
and
we're
wondering
whether
we're
seeing
an
issue
about
affordability,
where
multiple
families
are
moving
into
buildings.
A
E
Very
much
Andy
for
if
I
may
call
you
Andy
for
coming
out
and
speaking
on
this
item
today,
I
was
wondering.
Are
you
aware
of
a
report
that
came
to
the
TTC
board
about
two
meetings
ago?
That
actually
spoke
about
the
capacity
over
capacity
issues
on
line
one
and
in
particular,
highlighted
that
from
Eglinton
to
college
that
those
stations
were
actually
operating
at
over
capacity?
Yes,.
N
I
do
but
the
issue
is
there
that
didn't
focus
on
what
is
happening
north
of
Eglinton.
So
our
focus
is
what
is
happening
north
of
Eglinton
in
New
York
region
and
in
North
York,
and
that's
where
the
growth
is.
So
we
might
focus
on
those
particular
stations,
but
we
have
to
start
looking
further
north
and.
E
A
K
As
long
as
I
was
here,
I
might
as
well
talk
about
everything
this
young,
however
I,
have
a
suggestion
for
you.
Young
Eglinton
is
now
experiencing
what
wards
20
and
27
have
gone
through
for
the
past
years,
and
that
is
an
infrastructure
question
and
I
want
to
call
your
attention
not
only
to
hard
infrastructure,
which
is
the
subject
before
you
today,
but
soft
infrastructure.
Also,
the
city
requires,
as
part
of
a
complete
application
for
a
development,
a
study
of
five
areas
of
soft
infrastructure
in
the
general
neighborhood
of
the
development.
K
What
area
is
chosen
for
analysis
is
up
to
the
developer
and
their
consultant,
but
this
study,
which
is
done
of
soft
infrastructure
availability,
has
dies
after
it's
made.
Our
experience
at
the
board,
particularly,
is
that
when
we
try
to
raise
the
question
of
the
context,
the
adequacy
of
soft
infrastructure
in
the
context
of
the
development
that
it
doesn't
go
anywhere
the
to
put
it
harshly,
it
seems
that
the
city
receives
these
reports
and
then
files
them
away.
I
think
that
soft
infrastructure
needs
some
effective
statutory
weaponry
and
it
needs
a
champion
among
councillors.
A
B
Melon,
the
clerk
has
advised
me
that
I've
submitted
a
rather
lengthy
motion
to
them
and
theirs
working
on
it
may
I
just
ask
the
clerk
dude.
Would
you
would
you
like
me
to
hold
this
down
a
few
more
minutes?
So
if
we
could
just
go
on
to
the
next
item,
give
them
that
time
and
then
we'll
come
right
back?
Yes,.
A
Of
course
counselor,
so
we'll
hold
this
down
for
a
counselor
or
maillot,
while
the
clerk's
prepare
and
finish
the
motion,
which
means
we'll
just
proceed
to
te:

Cooper,
Street
official
plan
amendment
and
zoning.
An
amendment
request
for
directions
report.
Are
there
any
members
of
the
public
here
to
speak
to
this
item?
A
H
Hi
I
have
a
motion:
I
move
the
staff
recommendations
with
an
amendment
to
the
parking
ratio.
You
know
we've
talked
about
great
developments
today.
Here's
yet
another
great
example
of
a
great
development
and
I
just
like
to
highlight
why
this
application
moves
for
the
revitalization
of
the
waterfront
as
a
vibrant,
complete
community.
In
addition
to
the
appropriate
mix
of
residential
retail
and
office
uses,
this
development
will
build
out
an
impressive
public
realm,
including
new,
protected
cycling
lanes.
H
After
discussions
with
transportation
staff,
I'm
moving
an
amendment
to
the
parking
ratio
that
will
result
in
a
reduction
to
the
number
of
required
spaces,
along
with
the
good
planning
and
significant
public
benefits
achieved
in
the
staff
report.
I
believe
this
parking
ratio
is
in
line
with
the
other
approvals
in
the
downtown
core,
as
car
dependency
has
decreased,
I
like
to
thank
the
staff
and
the
applicant
for
achieving
a
development
that
is
not
only
good
for
the
site,
but
also
creates
the
next
waterfront
community
that
can
be
enjoyed
by
all.
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
A
A
B
We
know,
for
example,
when
we
try
to
get
on
the
subway
in
the
morning
or
afternoon,
rush
hours,
that
you
are
typically
waiting,
three
four
trains
to
get
on
and
once
you
finally
get
on
you're
squeezed
in,
like
a
sardine,
we
experienced
the
overcrowding,
but
this
has
been
anecdotal.
In
our
part,
we
we
know,
for
example,
that
the
tedious
bee
is
scrambling
right
now
to
figure
out
school
capacity.
B
So
what
we
say,
we
want
more
families,
more
kids
to
live
in
the
Midtown
downtown
area,
but
then
we
don't
have
schools
for
them
to
go
to
that's
simply
bad
planning
and
I
could
go
on.
I
mean
it
goes
everywhere
from
recreation
to
green
space.
You
name
it
it's
about
quality
of
life
and
for
us
in
Yonge
and
Eglinton.
It's
never
or
it
should
not
be
a
debate
about
whether
you
like
development
or
are
you
auntie
development?
That's
always
been
sort
of
a
narrow
way
to
describe
it.
B
B
Good
planning,
rather
than
just
build,
condos
build
condos,
build
condos,
build
condos,
build
kados,
that's
not
the
way
that
communities
are
planned,
that's
a
way
to
make
developers
lots
of
money,
and
that
should
be
the
focus
of
our
planning.
So
we've
been
focusing
on
a
number
of
different
things.
One
is
abolishing
the
OMB
and
we've
made
a
lot
of
progress
on
that
and
want
to
congratulate
the
government
on
the
new
reforms,
including
the
establishment
of
the
local
planning
of
heals
tribunal
and
I,
want
to
thank
councilor.
Wong-Tam
who's
been
a
remarkable
partner
in
that
pursuit.
B
Along
with
the
rest
of
my
colleagues,
we've
also
initiated
a
few
years
ago,
I
initiated
the
Midtown
Enfocus
study
that
looks
at
everything
that
I
just
mentioned:
social
services,
infrastructure,
along
with
heritage
preservation,
etc,
rather
than
just
have
anecdotal
evidence
to
have
data,
to
have
real
facts
to
be
able
to
back
up
our
arguments.
The
things
we
already
know
now.
B
Those
facts
that
we
know
to
be
true
is
that
we
know
that
there
is
utility
challenge
in
Yonge
and
Eglinton
and
that's
why
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
acknowledging
that
for
the
good
work
that
they've
done
and
for
saying
this
isn't
just
about
fighting
a
development
at
the
OMB.
It's
about
saying.
Regardless
of
what
the
plan
is,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
people
have
water
who
live
in
Yonge
and
Eglinton
and
that
there
should
be
a
bare
minimum
request.
B
There
should
be
water,
but
I'm,
also
adding
in
concert
with
with
city
staff,
that
they
also
should
be
able
to
know
that
they've
got
transportation
to
be
able
to
get
to
work
or
get
to
school,
and
they
also
should
know
that
their
kids
are
going
to
be
going
to
a
local
school.
Rather
than
seeing
those
stupid
signs.
That
say
your
kid
may
not
even
be
able
to
go
to
the
local
school
and
they
might
have
to
be
bussed
out
of
the
area,
that's
poor
planning,
and
we
need
to
reverse
that.
B
Lastly,
I
want
to
speak
just
for
a
moment
about
the
development
itself.
Speaking
of
poor
planning,
counselor
Troi's,
he
was
speaking
with
you
know,
with
great
accolades
about
what
good
planning
is
about.
This
is
bad
planning.
The
developer
wants
to
build
towers
on
tall
mid-rise
site
and
they
want
to
encroach
into
the
neighborhood
designated
area
on
Millwood,
and
our
concern
is
that
once
you
start
building
towers
and
neighborhoods,
then
you
lose
control
the
precedent,
descent,
goodbye,
Millwood,
goodbye,
Belsize,
etc,
etc.
They
will
keep
going.
B
We
need
to
set
a
line
in
the
sand
to
make
sure
that
we
protect
our
neighborhoods
and
put
the
tall
buildings
where
they
belong
in
small
buildings,
where
they
belong,
that's
planning.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
this
works
with
the
new
Midtown
and
focused
secondary
plan
recommendations
as
well.
So
again,
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
their
remarkable
work
and
I.
Also
I
want
to
conclude
by
acknowledging
the
great
advocacy
and
work
of
Andy
Gorton,
the
Southington
rapiers
and
residents
association.
B
There's
often
this
sort
of
contest
inner
city
between
what
we
colloquially
refer
to
as
in
bees
and
NIMBYs
people
who
say
yes,
yes,
yes
to
everything
and
people
say
no,
no,
no
I,
don't
want
anything
more
than
one
story.
The
way
that
Andy
and
Sarah
work
is
that
they
thoughtfully
consider
every
issue
what
a
remarkable
way
to
do
things
they
support
tall
towers
where
tall
towers
belong.
They
oppose
the
wrong
plans
where
the
wrong
plans
are
being
proposed
and
they
always
have
a
focus
on
quality
of
life
for
the
community.
B
That's
the
thoughtfulness
that
gets
results
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
kind
of
work
that
I've
seen
in
our
local
community,
so
I
support
the
the
recommendations.
I
encourage
you
to
support
my
amendments
as
well,
and
I
look
forward
to
the
community
consultation
on
the
vehicle
or
axis
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
D
In
order
for
us
to
address
all
of
the
growth
in
Yonge
and
Eglinton.
Unfortunately,
the
damage
is
done
in
the
last
20
years
of
not
collecting
education.
Development
charges
are
now
now
having
their
having
their
impact
on
our
education
system.
So
shame
on
our
current
Liberal
provincial
government
for
not
for
not
making
this
change
sooner.
We
have
lost
20
years
and
we
will.
We
are
in
danger
of
losing
yet
another
year
or
two
until
this
change
can
be
made
right.
A
A
A
N
Okay,
madam
chairman,
and
members
of
community
council
and
nearing
the
tail
end
of
my
architectural
career
I,
stand
before
you,
probably
for
the
last
time
on
a
proposal
for
a
mid-rise
building
I'm
very
proud
of
this
project
as
I
feel
it
is
an
excellent
example
of
an
avenues.
Building.
As
you
know,
avenues
buildings
is
an
official
plan
concept
of
how
the
city
should
grow
in
a
healthy
and
progressive
way.
N
It
is
following
in
a
long
tradition
of
compact
European
cities
with
mixed-use
mid-rise
buildings
on
principal
streets
when
I
first
started
practicing
in
Toronto
almost
40
years
ago.
The
idea
was
already
enshrined
in
the
Official
Plan.
In
those
days
it
was
called
Main
Street
buildings
as
an
interesting
aside,
I'm,
very
proud
of
the
Main
Street
building
I,
designed
at
the
corner
of
Yonge
and
Alexandra
Boulevard
near
sporting
life
that
found
its
way
to
the
cover
of
the
Official
Plan.
Now
not,
every
Street
is
considered
an
Avenue
on
the
plan.
N
In
fact,
not
all
of
Gerrard
is
designated
as
an
Avenue.
Only
this
stretch
between
Broadway
and
Jones
is
an
Avenue.
One
of
the
key
ingredients
in
designing
avenues
is
public
transit.
As
avenues
are
designed
to
enhance
the
pedestrian
experience
and
have
less
reliance
on
cars
in
terms
of
transit,
the
streetcar
stops
right
in
front
of
the
proposed
building
and
will
take
people
into
the
heart
of
the
city.
N
In
addition,
both
the
proposed
smart
track
and
relief
line
stations
will
be
half
a
block
from
the
site,
so
the
site
is
well
served
by
transit
now
and
will
be
even
better
served
in
the
coming
years.
Our
proposal
at
the
northeast
corner
of
Gerrard
and
Logan
is
for
a
58
unit,
six
story,
building
with
most
of
the
units
being
two
bedrooms
or
larger,
so
it's
very
family
oriented
the
sixth
floor
is
pulled
well
back
from
perimeter
and,
as
such
will
hardly
be
visible.
N
The
building's
almost
perfectly
conforms
to
the
city's
mid-rise
guidelines
and
is
almost
entirely
within
the
angular
plane.
Please
see
the
angular
plane
on
your
screens,
there's
our
four
no
shadowing
or
overview
impact
on
the
homes
to
the
north.
Now
staff
had
concerns
about
the
height,
so
we
have
lowered
the
building
by
two
meters.
That
height
came
mostly
out
of
the
height
of
the
ground
floor,
which
urban,
the
urban
design
department
thought
was
too
high.
All
the
units
also
lost
ceiling
had
some
by
as
much
as
two
feet,
with
the
beer
store.
N
Moving
back
into
the
building,
the
public
expressed
concern
about
the
lack
of
retail
visitor
parking.
We
have
addressed
that
to
the
satisfaction
of
staff
by
adding
three
visitor
spaces
and
carrying
it
a
number
of
studies,
our
parking
consult,
examined
the
existing
beer
store
on
the
property
and
determined
that
many
uses
are
coming
on
foot
that
supports
the
information
that
we
received,
that
sales
of
twenty
four
bottle
cases
are
declining
while
sales
of
six-packs
and
large
singles
are
increasing.
N
Our
traffic
engineers
also
conducted
two
other
studies
of
other
beer
stores
downtown
in
urban
locations
and
two
L
CBO's
with
little
or
no
on-site
bike
parking.
Both
studies
showed
that
50
to
95
percent
of
customers
combine
on
auto
the
portion
of
Logan
Avenue
in
front
of
the
building
will
be
changed
from
one
way
to
a
two-way
street.
This
will
force
trucks
to
lead
the
site
via
Girard,
without
driving
on
Logan
and
disturbing
the
residents
in
the
neighborhood.
N
This
idea
was
well
received
by
the
public,
in
addition
that
24
meter
wide
right
away
allows
for
wide
sidewalks
and
street
trees,
which
would
not
be
possible
further
west
on
Gerrard.
So
we
have
a
unique
situation
here
with
a
wide
right
away.
Now,
staff
and
residents
have
recently
raised
a
concern
over
the
lack
of
accessible
parking
after
considerable
effort,
we
have
redesigned
the
ground
floor
to
add
an
accessible
space.
This
happened
just
in
the
last
few
days.
N
This
has
not
been
formally
submitted
and
reviewed
yet,
but,
as
part
of
our
settlement
offer,
having
reviewed
the
zoning
bylaw
to
the
OBC
and
accessible
applicable
legislation,
we
are
satisfied
that
we
can
satisfy
the
issues
identified
in
the
staff
report.
We
are
supportive,
therefore,
of
the
staff
recommendation.
N
So
here
is
our
fine.
Having
used
building
for
your
consideration,
it
begs
the
question:
why
aren't
there
more
buildings
like
this
popping
up
all
along
the
avenues?
Think
of
the
Danforth
miles
and
miles
of
Subway
and
nothing
other
than
two-story
buildings
on
the
Danforth?
What's
why
is
the
reason
for
that?
The
simple
answer
is
that
the
economics
of
mid-rise
buildings
is
very
difficult.
So,
let's
step
back
and
look
at
our
stretch
of
Gerard,
although
it
is
designated
as
an
Avenue
and
has
been
for
over
fifty
years,
have
we
seen
many
other
mixed-use
buildings
going
up?
N
No
none
have
ever
been
built
and
none
are
proposed,
none.
So
when
an
Avenue
building
of
this
quality
comes
before
you,
one
that
has
virtually
zero
adverse
impact
on
the
residential
neighborhood
I
think
it
is
incumbent
on
everyone
who
believes
in
the
healthy
growth
of
our
city
to
enthusiastically
support
this
proposal.
Thank
you.
Thank.

E
Hello:
everyone,
council,
family
members,
I'm
born
in
Toronto
here
and
I-
am
a
member
of
the
501
Logan
House.
It's
a
rooming
house
by
an
organization
called
the
Toronto
Christian
Resource
Centre,
and
they
take
on
men
from
shelters
to
help
rebuild
their
lives
and
they
were
graciously
able
to
take
me
on
I've,
been
living
in
the
house
since
2011
and
I'm,
in
positioned
in
the
back
yard
unit
and
with
the
building
going
up
beside
us
when
the
Sun
is
in
the
south.
E
I
didn't
have
to
say
goodbye
to
the
Sun
I
guess
I'll
just
have
the
shade,
but
suffering
from
chronic
depression
and
anxiety.
I
tend
to
sit
out
in
the
backyard
a
lot,
because
when
I
try
to
go
in
public,
it's
I
get
a
little
bit
worked
up.
My
anxiety,
sorry
I'm
nervous.
This
is
my
first
time
doing
this
and
I
for
my
appreciation
of
Toronto
Christian
resource
center.
The
house
itself
is
over
a
hundred
years
old
and
it
was
the
house
was
donated
by
the
owner
to
the
church.
E
E
A
You
for
having
me
David.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
remarks.
Are
there
any
questions
for
the
speaker
seeing
none
David?
Thank
you.
I'd
like
to
call
Elizabeth
Brule
I
called
her
earlier
and
she
was
not
in
the
room.
Perhaps
she's
come
back.
No
I
don't
see
her
okay.
So
alright,
there
are
any
other
members
of
the
public
here
for
item
number
16.
A
F
While
the
community
meeting
had
a
lot
to
say
and
I
think
there
are
some
very
good
things
about
this
building.
There
was
an
issue
around
parking
and
streets
and
other
things
that
people
felt
they
didn't
really
have
a
chance
to
discuss.
Until
we
came
to
this
meeting
and
I'd
like
to
thank
planning
for
agreeing
to
host
such
a
meeting
because
once
something
gets
to
the
OMB,
it
kind
of
gets
off
the
radar
of
the
community
itself
and
having
mr.
Johnson
here.
For
the
community
we
just
Christian
Resource
Center,
which
is
next
door
and
I.
F
Think
all
of
us
who
support,
affordable
housing
in
supportive
housing
understand
what
an
important
organization
that
is
throughout
the
city
and
CRC
has
a
number
of
sites
in
Ward.
30
I
have
asked
what
I
can
do
to
ensure
that
protection,
so
that
would
come
probably
at
the
site
plan.
Mr.
Johnson,
when
the
report
is
when
the
site
plan
is
being
approved,
it
says
what
they're
going
to
exactly
how
they're
going
to
build
things
that,
at
that
point,
I
would
ask
for
a
community
liaison
committee,
but
other
things
that
would
take
place.
F
I'm,
assuming
it
will
be
built,
it's
just
a
number
of
issues
that
still
have
to
be
worked
out
and
I
think
that
there
can
be
those
discussions
between
now
and
council
to
see
if
we
can
continue
on
with
the
revisions
that
were
turned
in
and
some
of
these
other
issues
that
have
come
forward
at
the
community
meeting.
So
I'd
like
to
move
that.
Okay.
A
Thank
you
very
much
councillor.
Are
there
any
other
councillors
who
would
like
to
speak?
No,
seeing
none
you,
we
have
the
motion
to
defer
this
matter.
I.
Sorry,
we
refer
the
matter
without
recommendations,
all
those
in
favor
any
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you.
The
next
item.
We
have
now
arrived
at
our
11
o'clock
item.
The
time
is
five
minutes
to
12:00
we're
perfectly
on
schedule.
Why
trial
a
shortcoming
standard
time?
The
this
is
item
number
te,
30,
1.17
demolition
of
a
designated
heritage
property
for
21
ronsis
ville?
A
J
J
This
is
an
instance
of
an
a
developer
moving
to
develop
a
property
where
there's
a
heritage,
building
coming
forward
with
an
application.
That
was
completely
unacceptable
being
told
it
was
unacceptable,
appealing
to
the
Ontario,
Municipal
Board
and
then
just
before
our
pre
hearing
date
movie
submitting
an
application
demolished
the
heritage
building
altogether,
which
wasn't
even
shown
in
their
plans.
Yeah
I
I've
never
seen
one
like
this
I've
never
seen
some
an
applicant
with
such
flagrant
disregard
of
the
public
interest,
good
planning,
heritage,
buildings
and
community
opinion.
J
A
Any
other
members
who
like
to
speak
to
this
matter,
all
those
in
favor
of
the
recommend,
is
or
the
recommendations
from
the
Preservation
Board,
and
he
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you.
T30
1.18
inclusion
on
the
city
of
Toronto's,
Harris,
Heritage,
Register,
College,
Street
properties.
We
have
at
least
two
speakers,
maybe
more
dawn
young
as
well
as
Kris
spoke
Don.
Welcome,.
E
A
J
So
we
take
very
seriously
the
common-sense
notion
that
if
we
want
more
people
to
have
housing
in
Toronto,
we're
going
to
need
to
build
more
housing,
I
appreciate
being
granted
the
opportunity
today,
just
to
address
the
inclusion
to
the
City
of
Toronto
Heritage
Register
of
21
properties
on
broad
new
Avenue
and
in
the
next
item.
I
believe
is
another
24
properties
on
on
College
Street
with
such
a
large
number
of
properties.
J
I
will
not
comment
on
the
Heritage
value
of
any
individual
property,
though
I
do
think
that
we
should
be
mindful
the
necessarily
subjective
nature
of
these
means.
Instead,
I
would
like
to
make
a
statement
in
principle
about
how
this
process
undermines
housing,
availability
and
affordability
in
Toronto.
When
a
property
is
added
to
the
register,
it
makes
it
more
difficult
to
maximize
the
use
of
its
land,
including
through
the
modern,
soaring
modernization
of
older
buildings.
To
sue
current
needs,
it
makes
it
more
difficult
to
build
enough
new
housing
in
Toronto,
which
is
a
very
big
problem.
J
Given
that
we
have
a
1.1
percent
rental
vacancy
rate.
The
additional
layer
of
review
for
development
application
adds
time
and
costs,
both
of
which
are
ultimately
borne
by
buyers
and
tenants.
The
uncertainty
and
risk
can
also
act
to
render
development
projects
unfeasible
at
the
margin,
as
the
average
price
across
all
housing
types
now
exceeds
$700,000
in
the
city.
It
is
imperative
that
we
maximize
the
opportunities
to
build
housing
throughout
the
city,
especially
in
transit,
accessible
neighborhoods.
J
The
properties
listed
on
college
tree
and
broad
view
ad
view
on
and
Broadview
Avenue
are
all
immediately
accessible
by
bus
or
streetcar.
College
Street
is
classified
as
a
major
arterial
and
Broadview
Avenue
as
a
minor
arterial
and
both
are
considered
avenues
in
the
city's
Official
Plan
urban
structure
map.
We
believe
that
the
focus
should
be
on
encouraging
new
mixed-use
development
in
these
areas.
While
it
is
important
to
balance
the
city's
past
with
its
current
needs,
we
encourage
you
to
consider
very
carefully
the
impact
on
affordability
of
preserving
an
ever-growing
number
of
properties.
J
As
being
off
limits
to
meaningful
redevelopment
and
intensification,
whether
we
like
it
or
not,
heritage
preservation
is
often
used
as
a
NIMBY
tactic
advocated
for
by
established
homeowners
clinging
to
the
status
quo.
We
believe
that
Toronto
is
a
fantastic
city
and
that
we
should
be
looking
forward
to
opportunities
to
welcome
current
and
future
residents
into
its
vibrant
neighborhoods
and
not
looking
backwards
or
sacrificing
our
dynamism
in
the
interest
of
preserving
beam's
bricks
and
mortar.
Thank
you.
A
L
A
L
The
first
of
all
is
the
the
change
in
call.
Street
study
has
now
the
site
that
it's
on
will
allow
over
the
next
period
of
time,
seven
stories
or
something
like
that,
and
if
I'm,
if
I,
have
to
stay
within
the
three
and
a
half
stories
that
are
there
right
now,
then
that
will
be
highest.
I
might
be
taxed
at
a
higher
rate
because
of
land
values
around
me
would
be
higher.
L
There
are
18
stories,
11
story,
buildings
in
the
neighborhood,
so
I'm
great,
with
maintaining
the
facade,
but
I
would
not
necessarily
support
anything
that
would
restrict
the
use
of
the
site.
There's
nothing
inside
anymore,
due
to
the
fact
that
the
renovation
we
did
of
seven
or
eight
years
ago
required
complete
fire
separation
and
a
lot
of
the
details
have
to
be
removed.
So
it's
more
of
an
exterior
facade
than
anything.
L
A
Thank
you
very
much
Anthony.
Are
there
any
questions
for
the
speaker
seeing
none?
Thank
you
Anthony,
any
other
members
of
the
public
here
to
speak
to
this
matter.
One
matter:
number
18,
okay,
seeing
none
we'll
just
bring
this
into
community
council
members
with
questions
of
staff,
counselor
Krusty
thank.
C
E
C
G
C
E
Listing
and
designation
are
quite
distinct
from
each
other
listing
indicates
that
the
property
is
of
heritage,
value
or
interest,
and
it
means
essentially
that
if
you
want
to
demolish
the
property,
you
give
the
city
60
days
notice
of
the
demolition
to
further
consider.
The
value
of
the
building
redevelopment
would
be
subject
to
conservation
policies
within
the
asset
land,
but
we
see
across
the
city
hundreds
of
developments
on
heritage
properties
that
successfully
blend
old
and
new
doesn't
restrict
use.
It
doesn't
create
any
height
restriction
or
lowering
beyond.
E
What's
in
the
college
street
study,
so
the
listings
are
meant
to
work
with
the
college
Street
OPA,
and
so
it
doesn't
mean
that,
because
a
property
is
listed
within
that
studies,
work
that
you
are
not
eligible
to
apply
for
and
work
on,
a
development
that
includes
old
and
new
within
the
new
regimes
that
are
set
out
in
the
EOP
policies.
Okay-
and
so.
C
E
Way,
the
listing
report
gives
an
indication
of
the
attributes
that
we
believe
at
this
point
have
value.
We
are
certainly
always
interested
to
know
information
that
owners
may
have
about
changes
to
the
properties
that
were
unaware
of,
but
this
gives
you
a
baseline,
but
it
does
not
represent
the
final
list
of
anything
and
it
doesn't
regulate
in
that
way.
Thank.
C
You
very
much
oh
I'm,
sorry,
one
final
question
we
heard
from
Cawthra
coop
or
you
I,
understand
that
you've
directed
your
staff
to
meet
with
members
of
Kharak
coop
prior
to
counsel.
Would
you
be
prepared
to
ensure
that
those
meetings
happen
prior
to
counsel
so
that
we
can
have
those
conversations
before
a
final
decision
is
made
yeah.
E
J
E
J
E
A
C
A
couple
comments,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
all
thank
our
deputies,
who
were
here
and
reaffirm,
as
we've
heard,
from
heritage
preservation,
services,
I
think
a
real
willingness
and
a
desire
to
meet
with
both
of
the
the
co-op
and
the
the
property
owner
who's
here
in
between
and
I
know,
a
meeting
is
being
set
up
with
Koffler,
co-op
and
and
Sir.
That
meeting
can
certainly
happen
as
well
and
we'll
make
sure
it
does
I
want
to
bring
this
back
to
how
this
came
about
this
batch
listing.
C
We
spent
over
three
years
as
a
community
developing
the
college
streets
study
and
the
College
Street
study,
which
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
being
a
part
of
was
done
on
the
basis
of
how
do
we
plan
for
development
so
that
we
embrace
development?
That's
why
we
proactively,
as
a
community,
said?
What
are
we
prepared
to
say
yes
to,
as
opposed
to
us,
always
responding
to
a
developer's
vision?
C
It
ensures
that
we
don't
have
fly-by-night
demolitions
I,
don't
know
why
anybody
wants
a
fly-by-night
demolition,
and
so
it
ensures
that
there's
a
60-day
notice
if
there's
a
demolition
permit
which
heritage
sees
and
the
other
ensures
that
when
and
if
redevelopment
proposals
come
in
and
we
envision
redevelopment
along
College
Street
that
that
heritage
is
part
of
that
conversation.
It
doesn't
impact
renovations
in
the
immediate.
It
doesn't
freeze
buildings
in
time
and
it
doesn't
restrict
the
use
of
buildings,
and
so
I
just
want
to
ensure
the
distinction
between
a
listing
and
a
designation.
C
Is
there
but
I
think
the
big
picture,
because
this
discussion
today
has
been
brought
up
to
a
bigger
level.
The
city
needs
affordable
housing.
Yes,
we
do.
The
city
needs
increased
rental
housing.
Yes,
we
do.
The
city
also
needs
to
ensure
that
we
maintain
and
properly
conserve
our
heritage.
Yes,
we
also
need
to
do
that.
These
are
not
mutually
exclusive.
C
In
fact,
we
did
a
college
street
study
so
that
these
would
not
be
mutually
exclusive,
and
so
I'm
terribly
surprised
and
frankly,
appalled
at
housing
matters
for
coming
here
today
and
saying
that
to
preserve
our
past
by
virtue
of
stopping
fly-by-night
demolitions,
is
equated
with
not
supporting
rental
housing
or
affordable
housing.
This
false
choice
that
says
you
can
either
have
rental
housing
or
heritage
in
a
city.
C
That's
growing
at
our
pace
is
simply
wrong
to
say
that,
yes,
in
my
backyard,
has
to
be
equated
with
supporting
development,
always
supporting
bad
developments,
supporting
luxury
condominiums
that
are
too
tall
and
don't
service.
The
rental
housing
market
is
not
yummy
and
I
would
argue,
as
I
am
constantly
barage
on
Twitter
by
housing.
C
J
Just
wanted
to
add
a
couple
thoughts
to
what
councilor
Krusty
was
saying.
There
is
something
deeply
disingenuous
about
the
argument
that
this
particular
heritage
listing
has
anything
to
do
with
our
ability
to
accommodate
population
growth
and
affordability
within
the
City
of
Toronto.
Councilor
Cressey
makes
the
very
good
point
that
there's
a
false
choice.
We
heard
from
the
director
of
planning
for
Toronto
East
York
that
in
fact,
no
there's
more
than
adequate
land
available
in
our
official
plan
to
accommodate
the
population
growth.
That's
an
established
fact.
J
Anyone
who
makes
a
claim
that,
taking
these
particular
properties
out
or
or
listing
them
and
saying
that
there's
a
process
of
a
development
wants
to
happen
there
is,
is
not
only
being
disingenuous,
they're
misleading
the
public
and
with
those
claims
and
finally,
there's
a
part
of
the
affordable
housing
argument
in
the
City
of
Toronto.
That's
begun
to
creep
in
that
I
think
needs
to
be
responded
to
there's
this
suggestion
that
somehow,
by
having
planning
rules
were
restricting
the
supply
and
when
you
restrict
the
supply,
the
prices
go
up
and
that's
why
things
aren't
affordable.
J
The
evidence
is
absolutely
clear
that
that
is
not
the
case.
There
is
a
cost
of
constructing
a
unit
of
rental
housing
and
then
operating
and
maintaining
that
rental
housing
that
is,
is
the
fixed
cost,
there's
a
cost
to
the
financing
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
there's
work
than
done
by
the
Urban
Institute.
That
shows
that
below
a
certain
dollar
value
it
it
doesn't
matter.
You
could
give
the
land
away
for
free,
waive
all
the
development
charges
and
the
cost
of
developing
those
units
still
doesn't
pencil
out
right.
J
The
amount
of
rent
that
you
can
collect
from
someone
who's
working
a
minimum
wage
is
insufficient
to
cover
the
private
market
cost
of
building
a
unit
of
rental
housing,
even
if
the
land
is
free
and
we
charge
no
development
fees
or
taxes
on
it.
The
fact
that
matter
is
for
for
true
affordability,
the
the
private
market,
at
least
in
today's
conditions,
can
never
deliver
affordable
rental
housing
for
people
in
the
bottom
and
income
quintile.
J
The
math
is
just
clear
and
frankly
that's
the
reason
why
now
we
have
to
provide
direct
operating
subsidy
as
a
government
to
Toronto
Community
Housing,
because
the
rents
we
are
able
to
collect
don't
cover
the
operating
and
maintenance
cost
of
those
units.
So
anyone
who
tells
you
you
solve
the
affordable
housing
problem
by
removing
market
constraints
is
deceiving
them.
The
only
way
we
can
do
it
is
with
direct
government
intervention,
either
by
the
creation
of
government-owned
housing
through
TTC
agency
or
supports
for
coops
or
subsidized
subsidies
to
not-for-profit
housing.
J
You
need
public
intervention
in
the
marketplace
to
build,
affordable
housing.
The
marketplace
will
never
ever
build
it
and
that's
been
confirmed
by
work
that
we
received
at
the
tenants
advisory
group
just
two
three
weeks
ago.
The
cost,
the
rent
of
a
Bachelorette
on
the
open
market
right
now
is
about
eight
hundred
and
fifty
nine
hundred
dollars
a
month.
The
housing,
the
housing
portion
of
someone
who's
receiving
social
assistance
in
the
City
of
Toronto
is
four
hundred
dollars
a
month.
B
That
is
her
top
priority,
but
as
councillor
cress,
he
said,
let
us
not
conflate
the
two
priorities:
heritage
preservation
and
the
import
of
having
more
affordable
housing
in
our
city.
But
the
thing
that
I
wanted
to
contribute
to
this
conversation
is
an
acknowledgement
of
the
work
that
our
staff
have
done.
I
I
forget
what
it.
B
Maybe
it
was
a
year
ago
or
more
that
I
when
I
went
public
with
my
frustration
with
our
heritage
preservation
staff,
because
I'd
move
a
motion,
I
think,
along
with
counts
for
a
long
time
to
ask
for
proactive
survey
of
sites
throughout
our
city
like
Los,
Angeles
and
other
cities
have
done,
and
there
were
subsequent
motions.
I
believe
was
a
councillor
Fraga,
raucous
and
Kelsey
or
shiner
and
others.
B
That's
really
what
the
difference
between
listing
and
designation
is.
It
allows
us
to
make
an
evidence-based
decision,
along
with
the
recommendations
from
our
heritage
staff
and
the
board
on
what
the
best
plan
for
it
should
be.
It
does
not
sterilize
the
site
and
anyone
who
tells
you
that
is
wrong,
so
I
criticize
staff,
because
I
felt
that
they
weren't
moving
quick
and
they
hadn't
presented
their
recommendations
that
all
of
us
needed
to
act
on,
because
Toronto
I
think
it's
fair
to
say,
has
a
shameful
legacy.
B
When
it
comes
to
heritage
preservation,
you
look
around
the
world,
you
look
at
Boston,
you
look
at
Montreal
Quebec
in
a
city
and
in
Canada
you
look
at
cities
around
the
world,
I
mean
they've
done,
they've
done
a
better
job
in
Toronto,
and
this
is
about
decades
of
neglect.
Decades
of
this.
This
notion
that
that
demolishing
heritage
properties
means
progress
was
often
called
that
and
I
think
it's
sad
that
we've
lost.
So
we
lost
a
lot
of
her
old
town.
I
mean
st.
Lawrence.
B
Neighborhood
is
really
almost
the
best
vestige
of
what
we
will
be
able
to
retain,
but
even
think
Lawrence
doesn't
have
as
much
as
it
should
have
had.
Unfortunately,
st.
Lawrence
turned
into
a
lot
of
parking
lots,
so
we've
got
to
do
better
and
what
I
want
to
say
is
since
some,
some
of
those
conversations
were
had
I
realized
that
there
was
quiet
work.
Even
when
I
express
my
frustration
and
council
motions
were
being
moved.
B
There
was
already
quiet,
work
being
done
to
prepare
Heritage
Preservation
for
the
next
chapter
in
their
work,
quiet,
important
work
and
they
were
being
quiet
because
they
didn't
want
to
tip
off
every
landowner
that
maybe
this
work
was
being
done.
Maybe
you
should
have
a
Christmas
Eve
fire
or
go
at
in
the
mill
the
night
and
demolish
so
they
were
written
quietly,
but
deliberately
to
prepare
for
what
they're
doing
now,
which
is
remarkable,
work
inspiring
work.
B
If,
if
that's
the
right
thing,
but
they
don't
want
to
see
developers
around
the
show,
so
I
really
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
that
Mary
and
her
staff
have
done.
Not
only
am
I
no
longer
frustrated,
I'm
really
excited
and
really
enthusiastic
and
grateful
for
the
work
that
there.
Thank
you
thank.
G
You
I
just
want
to
go
back
to
that
the
issue
of
the
affordable
housing
because
I
think
it's
an
interesting
discussion
that
we're
putting
a
lot
of
things
together
and
mix
it
all
in
a
big
pot
and
I
very
often
say
that
when
we
talk
about
housing,
we
have
to
understand.
This
is
an
echo
system
and
the
way
that
we're
not
going
to
finance
our
way
out
of
it.
We're
not
gonna
subsidize
our
way
out
of
this
there's
no
way
that
governments
can
subsidize
our
way
out
of
this.
G
The
same
way
that
you
cannot
put
the
other
argument
that
the
supply
will
solve
the
issue-
it's
not
one
or
or
because
you
know
yes,
the
market
will
never
produce
social
housing,
but
the
the
supply
does
have
an
impact
on
the
market
housing
that
has
an
impact
on
affordability.
We
have
to
understand
that
we
have
families
that
make
sixty
seventy
eighty
thousand
dollars
that
are
being
pushed
out
out
of
the
city
that
cannot
buy
in
the
city
that
cannot
afford
in
the
city.
G
So
we
cannot
put
social
housing
in
the
affordability
factor,
they're,
not
the
same
thing.
They're
part
of
the
ecosystem
and
and
and
they're
part,
and
they
influence
each
other,
but
they're
not
the
same
thing,
and
we
need
different
solutions
for
different
parts
of
the
housing
spectrum.
So
we're
saying
that
you
know
just
subsidize
it
and
it
will
solve
itself.
That's
not
the
answer.
The
same
way,
that's
saying:
build
more
supply,
we'll
get
all
the
answers
for
our
housing
system.
It's
not
the
answer.
We
need
to
be
innovative.
G
G
We
have
to
do
both
the
way
that
we
plan
and
the
way
that
we
build
our
city
needs
to
be
done
in
an
effective
way,
because
the
the
physical
aspect
of
it
has
a
huge
impact,
also
also
on
the
social
way
that
the
communities
are
going
to
interact
in
the
ways
that
they're
gonna
develop.
So
we
need
to
bring
the
two
together.
G
We
need
to
find
that
middle
point
that
great
that
circle
in
the
middle
that
creates
the
facility
of
supply
and
the
affordability
and
be
you
know,
bringing
different
kinds
of
and
modular
housing
in
the
mid
rises
and
all
that
in
some
places
their
towers
in
some
places
or
not.
But
this
is
it's
it's
complex,
so
trying
to
say
that
just
build
more
is
gonna,
be
the
answer
for
housing.
It's
at
the
service,
actually,
for
the
discussion
the
same
way,
that's
saying
supply
or
just
subsidized.
The
thing
is
that,
because
that's
a
solution
it.
G
This
is
not
a
one
fits
all.
This
is
a
complex
issue
and
we
need
to
work
at
this
and
find
that
middle
ground,
but
also
saying
that,
because
we
need
more
supply
and
we
should
just
build
anything
everything
and
anywhere
and
allow
for
for
it
to
trump
all
the
planning
principles
and
and
heritage,
and
things
like
that.
That
is
not
healthy
as
well.
G
A
A
Okay,
great
so
the
staff
recommendations
and
the
amendment
are
before
us.
Should
we
take
them
as
a
package.
We
agreeable
okay,
all
those
in
favor
any
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you
very
much
yeah.
So
why
don't
I?
Be
you
if
we
can
do
some
quick
items?
I
also
recognize
that
Chris
spoke,
who
is
from
housing
matter,
is
also
registered
for
the
next
item.
We
could
clear
this
very
quickly.
A
Actually,
Chris
were
you
speaking
to
both
items
in
your
first
remark
or
you,
okay,
so,
let's
in
in
the
in
the
in
the
spirit
of
making
sure
that
we're
efficient,
considering
you've
been
sitting
here
for
most
of
the
morning.
If
you
want
to
just
take
the
front
of
the
room,
I'm
gonna
acknowledge
you
and
you're
gonna
have
five
minutes
to
speak.
If
you
can
keep
your
remarks
brief.
Well,
we'll
deal
with
this
matter.
J
A
E
Gonna
be
moving
the
staff
recommendations
and
take
this
opportunity
to
to
thank
staff
for
bringing
this
forward.
Finally,
I
know
that
they've
been
very
busy
with
other
things,
I'm
sure
Mary
McDonald
will
be
very
happy
that
I
will
stop
begging
her
as
I
have
for
these
last
two
and
a
half
years
to
bring
this
item
to
its
natural
conclusion,
which
is
to
bring
forward
this
list
of
properties
on
Broadview
that
were
part
of
the
broad
you
having
a
planning
study.
E
That
was
some
two
and
a
half
almost
three
years
in
duration
with
the
community
I'm
not
going
to
say
what
was
has
already
been
said
because
I
agree
with
all
that
has
been
said.
But
I
do
appreciate
all
that
they
do.
I
know
that
theirs
is
a
tough
job
since
there's
really
only
a
few
of
you
doing.
This
really
important
work
in
our
city.
So
thanks
very
much
and
I'd
like
a
recorded
vote.
Okay.
A
C
A
Thank
you
very
much
recommendation
