Councillor
Layton,
you
had
some
items
that
were
held
by
councillor
Krusty.
Would
you
like
to
dispense
with
them
now?
I.
N
B
You
for
members
who
are
preparing
new
business
I
have
a
couple
matters
myself.
If
I
can
just
make
sure
that
when
you're
ready
just
send
it
along
to
the
clerk,
and
they
will
be
able
to
give
you
some
time
to
introduce
it,
I'm
hoping
to
introduce
all
new
business
before
we
break
for
lunch.
Okay,
I
also
before
we
move
directly
on
to
the
timed
items,
I
would
like
to
I.
B
They
are
giving
thanks
and
respectfully
asking
the
mayor
and
Toronto
City
Council
to
fund
the
poverty
reduction
plan
through
the
2018
city
budget
process.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Moving
on
to
our
first
item,
that
is
time
for
ten
o'clock,
and
it
is
now
10:15.
So
we're
not
doing
that
is
te.
27.1
item
is
102
to
118
Peter,
Street
and
350
350
for
Adelaide
Street
West
zoning
amendment
application
final
report
in
wor
20.
There
are
speakers.
If
I
can
just
call
your
name
and
you
can
appear
before
us
max
Allen,
so.
E
Just
chair,
if
I
might
I
believe,
there's
a
supplementary
report
on
this
which
hasn't
been
circulated
yet.
But
if
the
speakers
speak
now,
they
won't
have
had
a
chance
to
read
that
beforehand
and
so
unconscious
of
that.
Could
we
not
hold
this
down
so
that
members
who
are
here
to
speak
an
opportunity
to
read
the
report?
Okay,.
B
B
B
N
N
The
situs
is
an
existing.
It's
a
twenty
five
storey
tower
in
a
park.
So
imagine
you've
got
green,
green,
green
four
sides.
The
developer
came
in
we'd,
been
working,
I
would
think
we
did
pre
application,
consultations
and
development.
The
developer
came
to
us
and
said
we
want
to
do
housing
on
one
flank
on
the
laneway
and
we
said
gosh
we've
got
other
ideas
on
the
laneway
for
greening
the
laneway.
N
Can
you
is?
Can
you
have
another
look
at
that,
so
they
cancelled
that
they
had
on
another
flank.
They
wanted
to
put
in
townhouses,
and
we
said:
can
you
think
about
that
and
they
said
yeah
we
can
take
them
off
the
area
on
that
area
and
put
them
on
top
of
the
building
that
we're
going
to
put
an
infill
on
the
south
on
the
south
end.
So
basically,
we
start
out
with
four
areas
of
green.
N
We
wind
up
out
of
out
of
the
community
negotiations
and
with
planning
with
infill
green,
green
green
in
a
neighborhood
that
has
0.44
acres
of
green
space
like
none.
We
have
none
college
to
bluer,
Spadina
de
Bathurst
misses
on
Spadina,
so
these
people
were
were
absolutely
stunning
in
their
responsiveness
to
us
and
they
made
two
plans
they
held
and
they
they
negotiated.
The
challenge
for
the
city
became
we
could
have
a
park
on
the
north
and
how
were
you?
N
A
hundred
and
thirty
three
units,
purpose-built
rental,
on-site
density,
four
point:
one
six
eleven
stories:
forty
percent
two
and
three-bedroom
units,
respect
for
the
angular
plane,
good
transition
into
a
heritage,
neighborhood
mid
block
pedestrian
walk
through
I
mean
the
checklist
is,
is
astounding,
725
square
meter
pop
space
along
Sussex
means
Langley,
which
conforms
to
our
green
master
plan.
603
square
meters
of
a
public
park
along
Sussex
Avenue.
N
It's
an
amazing
thing
when
a
developer
constrains
their
their
desires,
where
the
community
seeds
some
and
says
we'll
relax
yeah,
we
can
come
together
on
this.
The
counsellors
office,
the
city
staff-
was
astounding
on
this
because
they
didn't
say
no.
They
said
we'll
try
to
figure
out
a
way
to
do
this.
N
N
Fourteen
half
the
money
was
going
to
go
to
14
seniors,
affordable
units
just
a
couple
of
blow
in
a
couple
of
houses,
couple
of
properties
north
of
Harvard
village.
How
was
our
board
gonna
deal
with
that?
We
we
don't
have
much
opportunity
for
section
37
unanimously:
yes,
affordable?
Yes,
yes,
yes,
so
this
proposition
from
the
beginning
has
been
gold
and
the
processes
being
golden
Phil
Levine
who's
over
there
has
been
golden,
and
we
should
look
at
this
at
a
model
of
of
community
consultation
to
develop
her
responsibilities.
N
Good
for
the
city,
good
for
the
good
for
the
counts
are
good
for
the
planet.
Apart,
I
mean
it
was
awful.
I
was
gonna,
write
a
speech,
but
it
sounded
like
the
Academy
Awards
I
mean
it's
it's
it's
it's
golden
and,
and
part
of
it
comes
out
of
our
experience
with
honest
ads.
We
have
a
system-
oh
my
goodness,
I'm
gonna
stop
right
now,
anyway,
if
there's
a
deal,
though
you
guys
them
know,
if
there
is
a
lesson
in
it,
if
there's
a
deal
expedite
incent
development,
that's
good
they've!
N
B
E
E
The
second
is
an
adjustment
on
the
section
37
further
to
what
you
just
heard
from
from
the
DEP,
you
tend
to
increase
the
amount
for
affordable
housing
and
the
third
is,
as
part
of
the
site
plan
for
a
working
group,
the
honest
teds
model
working
with
the
local
neighborhood
staff
in
our
office
in
the
support
of
the
applicant
I.
Let
me
begin
by
saying
this
is
a
final
report.
It's
an
11-story
building,
infill
in
a
neighborhood
and
there's
one
deputy,
giving
an
Academy
Award
speech.
E
That
is
a
symbol
of
how
positive
this
project
is
in
the
process
behind
it
and
to
that
end,
I
want
to
start
off
and
thank
city
staff
in
urban
design
and
city
planning
and
transportation
services
for
all
their
work
on
this,
the
Harvard
Village
residents
Association,
who
should
have
been
paid
for
all
the
work
they
spent
on
this
as
well,
and
the
applicant
in
particular.
That's
Cromwell
developments
for
building
a
truly
precedent-setting
project
here.
I
am
exceptionally
proud
of
this
project.
For
a
number
of
reasons,
the
starting
point
is
the
process.
E
There
was
pre
application
meetings,
there
were
pre
application,
working
groups
and
tours
of
the
site
the
applicant
came
to
us
before
they
had
a
concept
to
meet
with
us
and
meet
with
the
community.
To
say
what
are
your
priorities?
The
result
of
that
over
more
than
two
years
has
been
a
process,
an
iterative
one
back
and
forth
adjustments
to
make
this
site
the
best
it
could
be.
The
process
worked
because
everybody
worked
together,
but
the
result
is
the
following
and
I
want
to
just
summarize
part
of
it.
It's
an
11-story
infill.
E
It
is
purpose-built
rental
secured
as
purpose-built
rental,
with
40%
of
the
units
as
two
and
three-bedroom
units,
it's
immediately
across
from
the
University
of
Toronto.
So
what
does
that
mean?
It
means
that
it
will
probably
behalf
student
housing
and
half
couples
and
family
housing
you're
building
a
neighborhood
in
the
building.
There
is
a
pop
space
secured
on
the
alley
where,
currently
it
is
a
surface-level
loading
zone.
There
is
a
park,
a
public
park
secured
on
the
corner
at
the
corner
of
Spadina
and
Sussex
at
603
square
meters.
E
It
is
appropriately
transitioned,
it
meets
the
angular
Plains
and
it
adjusts.
Well,
there
is
the
provision
for
dog,
amenties,
pedestrian
crossing
interior
loading
and
servicing,
but
here's
the
best
part,
the
section
37,
which
came
out
to
$800,000.
Initially
we
had
divvied
it
up:
50%,
affordable
housing,
50%
for
the
implementation
of
a
neighbourhood
green
plan.
We
found
out
that
there
was
an
opportunity
to
partner
with
wigwam
and
just
north
for
affordable
housing
for
indigenous
seniors,
but
it
costed
a
little
bit
more
money.
E
We
went
to
the
residents
and
said:
could
we
decrease
the
amount
of
money
for
the
neighbourhood
green
plan
and
increase
the
amount
for
affordable
housing?
They
said
yes
unanimously,
and
so
this
project,
not
only
will
it
ensure
rental
housing
family
sized
units
held
there.
Not
only
will
it
contribute
to
the
public
realm
and
provide
green
space,
it
will
also
contribute
to
affordable
housing
in
the
immediate
vicinity.
E
I
am
so
proud
of
this
project
and
the
hard
work
of
Cromwell
developments,
the
local
residents
association
and,
in
particular,
are
tremendous
city
staff
and,
with
that
I
am
extremely
proud
to
move
this
amendment
and
the
staff
recommendations,
and
so
that
it
can
be
noted,
I'd
ask
for
a

In
the
summary
you'll
read
that
the
proposed
zoning
provisions
for
the
Davis
fo
village
neighborhood
will
help
protect
its
existing
physical
character,
a
further
regulating
features
of
new
houses
that
have
significant
impacts
and
the
quality
of
the
streetscape
and
rear
privacy.
Above
it,
it
says
that
it
recommends
the
adoption
of
the
city
initiated
zoning
bylaw
amendment
for
the
area
that
no
longer
permits
as
of
right,
integral

and
introduces

for

I
also
want
to
recognize

being
the

for
bringing
this
to

O
At
Yonge
and
Eglinton
has
reached
provincial
growth
targets
for
2036
with
1970
infrastructure.
The
Eglinton
LRT
will
bring
that
up
to
1990
infrastructure
I
remind
you
that
in
1978
Paul
Bedford
said
the
young
Eglinton
node
is
developed
a
capacity
that
was
when
an
Johnston
was
fighting
a
transit
line
on
Eglinton
that
at
the
time
was
city
policy,
and
it
confirms
that
planning
doctrine
can
be
an
is
driven
by
politics.
O
If
council
should
decline
to
approve
this
application,
and
the
minister
is
silent,
there
is
no
conflict
as
contemplated
by
section
1313,
two
or
fourteen
two
of
the
places
to
grow
out.
The
applicant
cannot
cite
nearby
towers
as
precedent,
because
the
places
to
grow
act
does
not
confer
property
rights.
It
speaks
to
an
identifiable
need
that
no
longer
exists
ever
if
it
ever
existed.
O
At
all
subsection
five
of
section
three
of
the
Planning
Act
says
the
OMB
shall
conform
to
provincial
plans,
including
the
growth
plan,
but
does
the
OMB
have
the
power
to
ensure
a
growth
plan
component
conforms
to
the
act
under
which
it
was
created?
The
stated
purpose
of
the
Act
is
that
growth
be
rational,
balanced
and
efficient,
and
growth
that
is
thirty
years
ahead
of
infrastructure
is
neither
is
thus
contrary
to
law
and
to
support,
otherwise
is
to
suggest
otherwise
is
to
reduce
the
act
to
a
farce.
O
The
consequence
of
the
way
14-2
is
written
is
that
a
deficient
growth
plan
still
overrides
an
effective
official
plan.
The
board
has
the
power
to
correct
deficiencies
in
our
official
plan,
but
it
does
not
have
the
power
to
correct
deficiencies
in
the
provincial
growth
plan.
Neither
apparently
does
the
lab.
Can
it
interpret
the
targets
of
the
growth
plan
in
terms
of
existing
infrastructure
according
to
3/5
of
the
Planning
Act?
O
Moreover,
the
government
must
have
known
this
would
become
a
problem.
The
evidence
of
that
is
section
15
of
the
places
to
grow
act
in
which
the
Liberal
government
legislated
itself
blanket
immunity,
even
dismissing
any
action
taken
or
commenced
before
the
Act
came
into
force.
What
is
undemocratic
here
is
the
autocratic
nature
of
the
places
to
grow
act.
Council
should
demand
the
repeal
of
the
young
Eglinton
preemption
provincial
growth
plan.
We
have
outgrown
it.
The
planner.
The
solicitor
should
be
asking
why
it
is
section
15
does
not
protect
neighborhoods,
just
Liberal
Party
backsides.
O
B
You
thank
you
very
much
for
your
deputation
and
for
your
remarks.
Are
there
any
questions
of
our
speaker?
Okay.

Together
with
the
owner
of
twenty
to
forty
five
Yonge
Street,
the
adjoining
property,
we
call
it
the
Jen,
sell
property.
We've
participated
in
the
future
redevelopment
of
our
clients,
property
at
twenty
to
thirty
nine
Yonge
Street,
together
with
the
Jen
sell
property
which
joins
it
to
the
north.
M
Our
client
has
been
following
the
application
for
redevelopment
being
made
by
the
owner
of
one
Eglinton
Avenue
East,
we've
described
it
as
the
development
property,
and
there
is
no
need
for
me
to
describe
it
to
you
you're
well,
aware
of
it
for
the
record.
We
want
to
confirm
that
our
clients
have
instructed
us
to
join
in
and
to
adopt
the
reasoning
and
the
arguments
which
are
contained
in
the
Overland
letter
T
of
over
the
13th
2017
on
behalf
of
the
owner
of
the
adjoining
property,
the
Jen
sell
property.
M
Our
clients
are
greatly
dissatisfied
with
the
recommendations
made
in
the
final
report,
prepared
by
your
planning
staff
dated
September
29th
2017,
recommending
approval
of
this
application.
From
our
examination
of
the
staff
report,
we've
observed
that
the
comments
on
the
description
of
the
built
form,
height
and
massing
fails
to
give
effect
to
the
tall
building
design
guidelines
which
were
adopted
by
your
council
in
May
of
2013.
As
we've
pointed
out
in
our
earlier
letter
to
you
of
August
18
2016,
the
guidelines
require
a
minimum
of
twelve
point.
M
Five
meter
tower
setback
from
a
side
or
rear
lot
line
our
clients,
own
property,
is
located
within
six
meters
of
the
southerly
boundary
of
the
development
property
and
is
materially
affected
by
the
absence
of
consideration
being
given
to
these
guidelines.
The
current
limited
setback
of
the
podium
and
tower
from
cowbell
Lane
Picabo
lanes,
the
north/south
Lane
way
that
connects
Eglinton,
Avenue,
east
and
sedan
Avenue
to
the
south
is
a
reduced
setback
of
five
meters,
whereas
in
the
first
submission
by
the
developer
provided
for
a
setback
of
7
metres.
M
The
design
of
the
building
must
be
reoriented
in
a
manner
that
is
similar
to
that
which
has
been
used
at
the
mento
property,
which
is
to
the
south
and
fronting
on
Yonge
Street
Tower
Hill
developments
of
2221
Yonge
Street,
joining
property
to
the
south,
which
will
allow
for
the
heavy
vehicles
that
provide
services
to
the
office
building
to
gain
access
onto
the
development
property
in
a
manner
that
will
make
it
function
with
both
safety
and
security.
We
have
examined
the
transportation
study
prepared
for
the
development
property.
M
We
find
that
the
data
that
has
been
provided
by
the
transportation
consultant
is
at
least
five
years
old
and
does
not
in
any
manner
reflect
the
current
and
anticipated
uses
of
cowbell
Lane.
In
addition,
there
is
a
further
fifty
eight
story
building
being
built
at
2221,
Yonge
Street,
which
is
a
short
distance
to
the
south
of
development
property.
M
Our
client
has
joined
with
the
Jen
self
property
owner
in
a
redevelopment
proposal
that
has
been
initiated
with
your
staff
and
is
in
the
phase
which
will
permit
the
design
and
the
supporting
transportation
study
to
be
shared
with
your
staff
in
the
coming
weeks.
It's
our
respectful
submission
that
the
staff
report
is
before
you
today
should
not
be
accepted
at
this
time.
M
You
we
had
to
ask
her
that
an
effort
be
made
to
give
effect
to
the
separation
distances
contained
in
the
guidelines
with
deal
with
excessive
shadowing
diminished
sky
views,
heightened
street
level,
loss
of
privacy
and
limited
interior.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
allowing
me
to
have
this
time
with.
You
are.
B
B
P
You,
madam
chair,
my
name,
is
Kelly
oxberg
I
am
here
this
morning
on
behalf
of
my
client,
Jen
sell
properties,
inc,
dr.
Rieff,
the
Ramsay
of
Jen,
sell
properties
we'll
be
making
a
mutation.
Following
my
submissions,
my
client
owns
the
property
at
22:45
Yonge
Street,
which
is
the
property
immediately
south
of
one
adlington
Avenue
East.
The
property
is
currently
occupied
by
a
two-story
commercial
building.
There
is
a
Tim
Horton's
at-grade,
a
hair
salon
of
that
and
a
one-bedroom
rental
unit
at
the
rear
of
the
building.
P
The
site
was
acquired
by
my
client
in
2004,
always
anticipating
that,
if
this
block
were
to
be
redeveloped,
it
would
be
redeveloped
comprehensively.
Given
the
mix
of
smaller
and
larger
sites
occupying
the
block.
My
client
has
continuously
participated
in
the
various
planning
processes
in
this
part
of
the
Midtown
area,
including
the
planning
process
related
to
the
development
of
2221
Yonge
Street.
P
With
a
fifty
eight
story,
mixed-use
building
an
OMB
settlement
was
reached
in
that
case
and
the
tower
as
approved,
had
appropriate
regard
for
the
surrounding
context,
including
the
smaller
sites
to
the
north
Jen
sell,
has
been
actively
involved
in
the
review
process
of
this
application
and
has
also
repeatedly
voiced
its
concerns,
concerns
that
were
similar
to
those
raised
in
the
context
of
2221
Yonge
Street.
However,
unlike
in
that
context,
Jen
sell,
has
largely
been
shut
out
of
this
process
even
ignored.
P
We
submitted
a
letter
last
week
to
community
council
dated
October
13th
setting
out
the
concerns
that
are
being
raised
in
this
deputation
and
those
concerns
have
been
repeatedly
shared
with
staff.
My
client
is
concerned
with
the
placement
of
the
proposed
building
relative
to
its
site.
The
building,
as
originally
proposed,
was
positioned,
ten
point,
seven
meters
away
from
my
client
site.
However,
the
proposal
was
subsequently
revised,
such
that
the
tower
now
sits
only
six
point:
eight
meters
away
that
separation
distance
is
well
below
the
12.5
metre
setback
identified
in
a
tall
building
design
guidelines.
P
Additionally,
the
proposed
tower
floor
plate
is
between
eight
hundred
and
five
to
eight
than
33
square
meters.
Far
exceeding
the
maximum
tower
floorplate
size
of
750
square
meters
identified
in
the
guidelines,
staff
should
be
asking.
Why
is
it
appropriate
for
this
development
to
be
excused
from
the
application
of
the
guidelines
with
respect
to
both
tower
separation
and
tower
floor
plate
size
I
would
ask
you
to
envision
the
juxtaposition
of
a
65
storey
tower
immediately
abiding
a
two-story
building.
How
can
that
be
considered?
An
appropriate
relationship
between
the
properties.
P
Staffs
physician
also
seemingly
disregards
any
future
development
potential
for
my
client
site.
Yes,
my
clients
site
is
much
smaller
than
the
one
Eglinton
Avenue
site.
However,
this
is
a
highly
urban
site.
Nonetheless,
its
centrally
located
at
a
major
intersection
in
a
fast-growing,
neighborhood
and
I
would
add
that
the
permitted
zone
height
for
the
property
is
61
meters.
Approving
this
application,
without
considering
the
development
potential
of
adjacent
smaller
sites,
risks
that
this
southwest
quadrant
will
not
be
developed
comprehensively
and
that's
simply
not
good
planning.
P
This
is
an
important
Junction
along
the
Yonge
subway
line,
with
significant
resources
being
poured
into
the
Eglinton
crosstown
LRT
and
the
city
should
be
getting
this
corner
right.
My
client,
lastly,
is
concerns
regarding
the
relationship
between
the
proposed
development
and
Cal
Bell
Lane,
as
mr.
Kyser
mention
Cal
Bell
Lane
is
an
important
north-south
mid
block
connection,
which
provides
access
to
a
number
of
properties
along
Yonge,
Street
and
Eglinton
Avenue
East.
The
proposed
setback
is
only
positioned
five
meters
away
from
the
lane.
P
This
staff
report
recommends
a
section
37
package
that
includes
cash
contributions
towards
improvements
for
the
cow,
but
for
Cal
Bell
Lane,
with
these
details
to
be
left
for
the
site
plan
stage.
However,
as
you
know,
in
the
normal
course,
the
site
plan
process
is
a
private
process,
leaving
little
scope
for
the
participation
of
the
general
public.
I
would
like
to
leave
you
to
consider
that
this
application
is,
is
perhaps
a
very
pivotal
decision
for
the
city.
This
is
not
just
a
question
of
approving
a
tall
building
on
a
modestly
sized
corner
site.
P
There
is
a
much
larger
issue
at
play
here
when
we
are
talking
about
comprehensive
development
I.
Please
have
your
final
thought.
What
do
we
do
with
smaller
sites?
How
should
we
be
dealing
with
less
ideal
or
leftover
sites,
sites
that
are
not
just
empty
parking
lots?
How
the
city
chooses
to
address
this
question
through
this
application
could
potentially
set
a
precedent
for
future
tall
buildings
in
the
Midtown
and
the
city.
Generally,
thank
you
very.
B
K
Chair
councillors,
my
name
is
dr.:
Arif
Durham,
she
I'm
an
emergency
physician
having
served
the
residents
of
Scarborough
at
the
centenary
Hospital
for
the
last
28
years.
I,
along
with
several
other
physician
colleagues
and
family
members,
are
the
beneficial
owners
of
22:45
Yonge
Street,
the
Tim
Hortons
in
the
southeast
corner
of
Yonge
and
Eglinton
through
a
corporation
called
Jen
saw
properties.
K
We
saw
a
once-in-a-lifetime
city
building
opportunity
with
the
eight
billion
dollar
public
investment
at
the
in
the
Eglinton
crosstown
LRT
part
two,
particularly
at
the
Yonge
and
Eglinton
intersection,
where
the
two
largest
mass
public
transit
conduits
intersect
in
the
southeast
corner.
We
envisioned
a
comprehensive
development
befitting
an
international
metropolis,
a
large
public
atrium,
with
retail,
ubiquitous
access
to
the
dual
transit
lines:
underground
internal
internalized,
internalization
of
all
site
servicing
below
two
well-positioned
towers,
the
Society
of
Engineers,
our
neighbors
to
the
south
at
20
to
39
Yonge
Street
shared
in
this
aspiration.
K
What
we
were
disappointed
with
the
actions
of
22
21
young
Street,
that's
the
tower
health
corporation
and
one
Eglinton
dive
part
having
rushed
to
develop
their
silos
in
the
sky,
packing
in
as
many
shoebox
condos
before
the
punch
wall
spiked
with
emergency
low-interest
late
interest,
emergency,
low-interest
rates
get
gets
taken
away.
I
had
several
meetings
with
city
planning
staff
to
encourage
dialogue
but
received
a
indifferent
response
to
DAF
part.
We
suggested
a
joint
venture
and
even
suggested
acquisition
of
our
site
to
encourage
a
more
comprehensive
development.
We
remain
ignored
this.
K
You
will
not
seen
the
staff
final
report,
teo
core
the
city
initiated
OPA
and
zba
in
October
2016,
the
tall
building
guidelines,
the
Yonge
and
Eglinton
secondary
plan
Midtown
in
focus,
green
space
and
built
form
are
all
tools
that
you
have
given
planning
staff
to
encourage
comprehensive
and
contextual
development
with
active.
We
have
actively
engaged
in
this
public
discussion.
All
buildings
tall
buildings
intuitively
come
with
greater
civic
responsibility.
K
K
Have
they
achieved
their
intended
goal.
I
asked
you
counselors
as
a
land
border,
I'm,
obviously
asking
the
questions,
but
the
questions
that
the
members
of
council
should
be
asking
as
well
are
question
one.
You
should
be
asking
staff:
what
is
the
future
of
the
Gentile
property
and
the
Society
of
Engineers
professional
property
at
twenty
to
thirty
nine
youngstreet
question
two.
You
should
be
asking:
is
this
the
appropriate
finished
product
for
the
redevelopment
of
this
important
corner?
Are
you
happy
with
it
question
number
three?
K
You
should
be
asking:
how
can
these
properties
be
developed
in
the
future?
If
the
answer
to
this
questions,
is
we
don't
know
or
is
the
answer,
simply
we
don't
care
either
way.
In
my
mind,
those
are
not
appropriate
answers
and
I.
Don't
believe
that
members
of
council
should
be
satisfied
with
those
answers
as
well.
K
Councillors
consider
carefully
the
pivotal
nature
of
the
decision
before
you
today.
I
urge
you
to
de
for
this
matter.
Until
further
questions
have
been
answered
and
city
staff
has
been
asked
of,
all
the
appropriate
questions
have
been
successfully
answered
and
satisfactorily
answered
respectfully
Arif
de
Ramsey
MD.
Thank.
B
F
F
The
subject
hour
is
appropriately
set
back
from
the
properties
to
the
south
staff,
have
confirmed
and
have
looked
at
this
development
on
a
block
level
and
have
confirmed
that
the
properties
to
the
south
jen
sell
property,
even
if
consolidated
with
mr.
Kaiser's
client's
property,
that
it
would
be
too
small
of
a
site
to
accommodate
a
tower
at
best.
The
jen
sell
property
again,
even
in
a
circumstance
where
it
would
be
consolidated,
would
accommodate
a
mid-rise
building
and
my
clients
development
accounts
for
that.
F
Given
the
fact
that
and
the
way
that
the
podium
has
been
designed,
and
so
it's
it's
not
our
development,
that
is
to
use
the
words
raised
by
the
last
speaker
that
is
sterilizing
this
property.
It
really
is
a
matter
of
of
the
size
of
the
Jen
sell
property
and
the
property
to
the
south
and
I'll.
Just
simply
conclude.
By
touching
on
the
issue
of
Kalba
cowbell
lien
and
the
design
process,
there,
we
are
going
to
be
conveying
a
1.5
meter,
pedestrian
easement.
F
B
J
J
It's
the
Sherwood
Park
rate
payers,
Association,
the
Eagleton
Park
rate
payers,
Association
the
quantum
residents
Association
and
invited,
but
not
participating
the
Oriole
Park
rate
payers
Association.
We
formed
a
community
group
after
the
community
council
meeting
and
approached
with
knowledge
of
the
the
planning
staff
and
the
councilor
approached
the
developer
death
part
to
discuss
this
proposal
with
them
and
to
look
for
improvements
from
a
community
point
of
view.
We
spent
about
six
months
discussing
the
development
back
and
forth
and
had
a
very
open
approach
from
the
developer.
J
A
lot
of
attention
to
detail
at
the
street
level,
an
increase
in
larger
sized
bedrooms
for
the
property
at
subway
entrance
designed
to
the
Yonge
Street
young,
Hamilton,
TTC
connection
and
commitment,
the
funds
to
much
needed,
upgrade
of
cow
bell,
Lane
and
a
Dave
Shore
community
center,
resulting
in
a
resubmission
of
the
proposal
by
the
developer.
So
this
all
happened
in
2015
part
of
the
process.
J
We
also
approached
tensile
properties
and
introduced
the
the
various
parties
to
each
other
and
that's
I,
guess
from
our
perspective,
the
best
that
we
could
do
recognizing
that
perhaps
this
proposal
could
yet
be
better.
Then
then
it
became,
but
in
in
in
total.
We
are
very
pleased
with
all
the
accommodations
and
the
changes
that
were
made.
One
of
the
areas
of
our
concern
is
also
is
cowbell
laying
but
more
from
as
a
public
property.
J
Both
in
terms
of
pedestrian
safety
and
the
intersection
between
it
and
the
adjacent
streets,
and
in
our
letter
we
have,
we
look
forward
to
continue
to
work
with
the
city
on
the
Midtown
and
focus
and
we
are
have
a
keen
interest
in
seeing
Koberlein
being
developed
into
a
more
appropriate
kind
of
exit
lane
than
what
it
is
today.
So,
all
in
all,
I
think
a
lot
of
people
work
pretty
hard
on
this
project
and
at
this
stage
we're
pretty
pleased
with
this
project.
B
C
So
through
you,
madam
chair
I'm,
gonna,
ask
a
previous
deputed
on
behalf
of
Gen
cell
properties,
asked
two
or
three
questions
and
I
think
in
fairness,
I'm
gonna
pose
them
to
you
and
and
I'd
like
you
to
ask
that
to
answer
them.
I'll
just
ask
them
all
at
the
same
time,
because
I
think
they
all
sort
of
that
they're
framed
around
the
same
narrative
one.
What
is
the
future
of
the
gen
cell
property
in
the
Society
of
energy
professionals,
property
at
twenty
to
thirty?
C
Q
We
fully
canvassed
those
issues
over
the
last
four
years
actually
and
considered
the
application
before
us
and
the
adjacencies
with
the
joining
properties
in
the
context
of
the
enforce
Official
Plan
and
the
plans
that
are
emerging
through
the
Yonge
and
Eglinton
review.
We
don't
consider
the
the
deputy
and
the
deputy's
properties
at
all
building
site.
Q
E
Is
appropriate
for
this
corner
I
think
it
is
important
to
note
that
this
particular
development
is
replacing
and
actually
exceeding
the
amount
of
office
space
on
site.
It's
providing
a
true
mixed-use
building
for
the
site.
It's
creating
a
pops,
a
big
public,
a
public
space
on
the
corner
of
Yonge
and
Eglinton,
widen
sidewalks
and
a
connection
to
the
TTC.
So
this
site
is
actually
providing
a
lot
of
the
function
that
this
important.
C
So
so
bottom
line
is
you
you
you,
you
can
assure
us
that
you
thoughtful
due
diligence
to
concerns
and
questions
that
were
raised
by
Jen,
so
properties,
but
but
you're
telling
us
that
it
wasn't
a
matter
of
ignoring
them.
You
simply
just
respectfully
disagreed
with
with
some
of
the
concerns
that
they
raised.
That's.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Anyone
else
with
questions
of
staff,
seeing
none
members
to
speak,
no,
sir
mallow,
madam
chair,
actually
sorry
counselor
can
I.
We
need
to
bring
back
members
of
our
Community
Council
into
committee
room
number
one.
We
need
to
reconstitute
quorum
members
of
community
council
if
you're
in
the
building.
We
need
you
back
in
committee,
room
number
one.
We
need
you
to
reconstitute
quorum.
C
Well,
local
councillors
be
parochial
and
will
community
simply
be
NIM
D
and,
as
we
saw
earlier
from
a
site
and
councillor
crises,
Ward
and
I
believe
at
this
side
too,
at
the
heart
of
Yonge
and
Eglinton.
This
is
our
answer.
Our
answer
is
is
that
we
will
always
challenge
in
appropriate
development
proposals
and
far
too
long,
certainly
in
Yonge
and
Eglinton
in
downtown
and
North
York
and
elsewhere.
C
We've
seen
far
too
many
proposals
that
I
think
it's
very
understandable
when
communities
say
no,
if
they're
only
told
that
you're
gonna
end
up
with
two
years
of
lane
closures
and
dust
and
noise
and
and
construction,
and
we're
not
going
to
provide
any
substantive
community
benefits
and
oh
by
the
way
the
developer
is
gonna
get
rich.
Well,
you
know
what
why
why
would
any
reasonable
person
say?
C
Yes
to
that,
but
we're
doing
things
differently,
we're
fostering
a
culture
of
how
to
advocate
and
champion
the
community
the
community's
interest
and
build
neighborhoods
that
are
livable
and
provide
a
high
quality
of
life
Yonge
and
Eglinton
for
far
too
long
has
had
a
dearth
of
social
services
of
heart
infrastructure.
You
try
to
get
onto
the
subway
in
the
morning
afternoon,
peak
hours.
Good
luck!
Good
luck!
Trying
to
find
a
lane
in
the
local
community
centre
to
swim
in
schools
are
over
capacity.
We
highly
suspect
that
the
utilities
are
at
their
max.
C
It's
it's
not
acceptable
and
we
need
to
take
the
reins
back
and
that's
why
we
in
or
initiated
the
Midtown
focus
review
to
update
and
enforce
our
empower.
Our
secondary
plan
advocate
for
replacing
the
OMB
with
a
genuine
appeals
body
and
on
the
ground.
We
have
a
responsibility
than
to
stand
behind
our
words.
If
we
say
that
we're
gonna
be
responsible,
then
we
can't
just
be
narrow,
dishonest
populist,
who
say
no
to
anything
just
to
look
like
a
champion.
C
I
believe
that
leadership
is
I
know
all
my
colleagues
agree
is
about
making
hard
decisions,
but
doing
what's
right.
This
is
going
to
be
the
tallest
tower
Yonge
and
Eglinton
and
I'm
proud
to
support
it,
and
the
reason
I
am
is
because
we,
together
as
a
community
along
with
every
one
of
the
ratepayers
associations
who
are
always
said
to
be
NIMBY,
they
are
the
ones
the
champion
this.
The
community
said
yes,
because
we
achieved
great
public
realm,
Yonge
and
Eglinton
to
have
a
remarkable
junction.
C
We
are
actually
looking
at
all
the
corners,
including
at
the
TTC
lands,
eventually
building
a
remarkable
public
square.
That's
what
great
cities
do.
Toronto
has
been
mediocre
that
that's
what
we're
working
on
creating
great
public
realm
at
Yonge
and
Eglinton
Cal
Bell
Lane
for
far
too
long
has
not
been
as
functional
or
as
beautiful
as
it
should
be.
We
are
going
to
be
investing
in
improving
it,
Midtown
community
center,
the
the
recreation
center
rebuilding
the
Davisville.
C
We
are
now
investing
in
that
to
make
it
a
reality,
so
that
there's
recreation
opportunities
for
seniors
and
young
moms
and
dads
and
everyone
in
between
we
are
building
a
new
connection
to
the
subway,
be
great.
If
we
had
a
connection
to
the
relief
line
to
let's
build
that
we
don't
have
enough
money
in
the
section
37
to
fund.
All
of
that.
Unfortunately,
and
despite
the
error
that
was
made
on
90
Eglinton
west,
we
are
now
consistently
removable
turning
that
trend
around
one
after
another,
starting
on
one
Eglinton
we're
getting
100%
office
replacement.
C
We
can't
just
build
a
bedroom
community
in
the
sky.
If
you
do
that,
you
don't
have
a
balanced
community.
You've
got
more
people
stuffing
themselves
on
the
subway,
more
people
jamming
themselves
in
their
car
onto
the
roads.
We
want
a
walkable
livable
community,
where
people
can
work,
live
and
play
in
the
same
neighborhood.
That's
what
we
want
to
see
for
Yonge
and
Eglinton.
C
So,
ultimately,
what
we're
doing
here
is
approving
something
that,
if
we
said
no
to
would
have
gone
to
the
board-
and
it
would
have
been
worse
anyway,
so
what
we
decided
to
do
is
reframe
the
discussion
about
what
we
can
make
out
of
this
situation
and
I'm
very
proud
of
the
community
that
went
behind
this.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
N
Sure
I'll
just
make
a
couple
of
comments.
We
don't
often
hear
councillor
Matt
Lowe
speak
so
passionately
in
favor
of
development,
and,
if
that's
in
fact
it
if
it's
kind
of
a
measure
of
my
meter
on
whether
or
not
this
is
a
good
development
and
to
hear
counselor,
Matt
Lowe
speak
so
passionately
about
it
about
it.
I'm
sure
that
everything
was
possibly
done
to
ensure
that
this
was
the
best
possible
outcome
on
the
site.
N
I
wanted
to
speak
because
there
something
a
little
bit
distressed
by
one
of
the
deputies
and
some
comments
that
it
seemed
to
to
be
requesting
us
to
get
involved
with
a
real
estate
transaction
in
some
way
to
encourage
a
developer
to
to
pull
two
sites
together.
That
is
not
our
job
that
it.
That
is
not
the
position
of
this
committee,
and
we
shouldn't
be
asked
to
intervene
to
to
ensure
that
one
one
developer,
one
site
owners,
the
value
of
their
site
is
is,
is
is
uplifted
by
a
decision
about
this
committee.
N
I,
don't
believe
that
any
of
our
decisions
in
favor
of
a
60-story
Tower
or
a
two-story
building
have
anything
to
do
with
the
value
of
the
site
it
all
has
to
do
with
city
building
it.
It
at
least
should
not
have
to
do
with
the
value
of
any
one
site
and
had
should
have
everything
to
do
with
city
building.
We
don't
have
the
power
to
go
ahead
and
tell
people
you
have.
B

Okay,
so
a
supplement-
and
this
is

It

you're,
taking

also
to

I
asked

If
he's

B
Okay,
I'm
going
to
move
on
to

number
I,
don't
think
we're
ready
to

now
so
I
apologize
for
that.
So,
let's
move
on
to

of
this
particular
application.
B
It
is
a
city
owned
property
city
submitted
applications
I
want
to
just
let
members
here
know
that
we're
dealing
with
this
report
along
with
a
second
and
accompanying
report.
Just
so,
everyone
is
aware
we're
dealing
with
this
report
and
considering
T
27.2
2,
which
is
the
Heritage
Preservation
report.
These
items
are
being
dealt
with
concurrently
at
this
time.
Ok,
so
I'll
begin
your
your
clock
when
you're
ready,
you've
got
ten
minutes
between
the
two
good.
R
Morning,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
to
the
committee
for
having
us
this
morning.
So
we
are
here
is
the
applicants
for
an
official
plan
and
zoning
amendment
and
alteration
to
the
demolition
of
heritage
properties
for
the
George
Street
revitalization
project.
Now
we
do
have
slides
that.
Unfortunately,
we
have
a
technical
issue
here:
they're
not
up
on
the
screen
can.
B
R
The
GS
our
project
will
respond
to
the
needs
of
multiple
communities.
It
will
restore
and
integrate
six
heritage
buildings
in
their
three
dimensions
and
will
can
create
a
more
welcoming,
safer
neighborhood
for
all,
with
a
community
hub
providing
programs
and
services
to
the
residents
and
the
neighborhood
in
partnership
with
the
community.
The
city
will
build
a
center
of
excellence
with
21st
century
standards
for
the
care
of
our
most
vulnerable
residents,
along
with
a
multi-use
community
accessible
building
that
will
regenerate
the
neighborhood
with
stakeholder
participation.
R
The
GS
are
design
built
form
has
undergone
numerous
changes
in
order
to
balance
the
program
needs
heritage
requirements
and
neighborhood
interests.
The
revitalization
plan
must
proceed
on
the
basis
of
three
important
drivers.
The
first
is
that
Seton
house
men's
shelter
needs
to
be
replaced
due
to
the
building's
aging
condition
and
the
challenges
of
providing
appropriate
shelter.
Programs
at
that
location.
K
The
second
driver
is
the
prevention
mandated
redevelopment
of
long
term
care
homes
and
the
need
to
keep
beds
in
downtown
Toronto,
which
is
the
catalyst
for
the
stage
redevelopment
of
five
city
homes,
totaling
1232,
long-term
care
beds.
The
new
partnerships
among
city
divisions
will
better
meet
the
needs
of
homeless,
vulnerable
and
elderly
individuals.
K
The
third
driver
is
the
changing
face
of
Downtown
East,
neighborhood,
dilapidated
heritage
buildings,
new
condominiums
and
gentrification
pressures
call
for
a
proactive
approach
to
respond
to
the
needs
of
the
populations.
We
serve
promote
inclusion
for
all
residents
and
address
community
safety
concerns.
The
project
will
result
in
much-needed
services
for
older
residents
and
down
in
the
downtown
core.
K
The
facility
will
be
a
modern,
well
designed
and
an
environmentally
sensitive
building
that
will
benefit
the
neighborhood,
as
well
as
providing
the
opportunity
for
sharing
services
among
city
divisions,
the
project
supports
councils,
strategic
plan
and
division
and
divisional
strategic
directions.
North
George
Street
will
experience
a
revitalization.
Two
major
parks
will
be
connected
by
a
beautiful
Street
with
heritage
assets
restored
in
support
of
the
Garden
District
Heritage
Conservation
District,
the
community
hub
and
outdoor
space
will
be
open
into
the
neighborhood.
K
We
have
achieved
a
number
of
milestones
to
date
and
we
look
forward
to
more.
Stakeholders
are
numerous
and
they
have
been
involved
throughout
this
process.
We
are
currently
working
with
our
architectural
consultants
and
infrastructure
Ontario
to
develop
the
project
specific
out
specifications
based
on
the
functional
program
and
design
work
to
date.
The
project
continues
to
move
forward
and
will
be
ready
for
procurement
in
the
spring
of
2018,
as
reported
to
Council
in
November
2015
project
cost
estimates
are
in
the
range
of
500
million
dollars,
with
the
bulk
of
the
funding
coming
from
the
city.
K
If
council
approves
project
funding
in
February
2018,
substantial
completion
is
anticipated
by
2020.
Third
sorry
2023.
Should
there
were
two
reports
before
you
today
receive
council
approval.
We
will
have
Qi
achieved
one
more,
very
important
milestone
in
the
timely
delivery
of
this
transformative
project
and.
K
As
we
get
to
the
third
to
eighth
floors.
The
building
is
essentially
providing
specific
program
needs
for
the
long-term
care
residents
and
the
emergency,
shelter
and
transitional
living
clients.
We
have
one
additional
floor
on
top
of
that.
The
ninth
floor
is
essentially
an
outdoor
smoking
area,
but
is
otherwise
a
series
of
mechanical
electrical
spaces
and
an
extensive
green
roof.
We
also
have
two
levels
of
underground
parking
located
below
the
North
portion
of
the
site,
avoiding
of
the
heritage
properties
in
terms
of
height
and
massing.
K
We've
proposed
a
development
that
maintains
the
rhythm
of
the
existing
Street
with
multiple
entrances,
a
variety
of
compatible
materials
and
a
scale
that
relates
to
the
restored
heritage
buildings,
which
will
be
a
gem
of
this
redevelopment
along
the
east
Lane.
The
building
steps
back
in
a
series
of
steps
to
break
down
the
overall
massing.
The
base
of
the
building
will
be
constructed
of
darker
materials,
while
the
upper
levels
will
be
generally
lighter
in
color
to
provide
greater
light
reflectance
to
the
adjacent
neighbors
at
left,
you'll
see
to
building
cross-sections
both
looking
north.
K
In
the
context
of
the
azurite
development
massing
scene
in
orange,
in
the
upper-right
corner
of
the
image,
the
GS
our
redevelopment
provides
a
stepping
down
from
the
proposed
high-rise
massive
towers
along
Jarvis
Street
on
the
west
side
of
George
Street
to
the
generally
to
lower
traditional
scale
of
homes
within
the
Garden
District
in
the
lower
right
image.
The
red
line
shows
that
the
as
of
right
towers
on
the
West
Sider
Gorge
will
match
the
shadow
impact
of
the
GS,
our
development
on
the
rear
yards
of
the
houses
on
the
west
side
of
Pembroke.
K
The
blue
line
shows
that
the
towers
are
visible
above
the
GS,
our
development,
when
seen
from
the
east
side
of
Pembroke.
In
essence,
we
see
this
as
a
very
compatible
development
within
the
context
of
the
step
down
from
high-rise
massing
to
the
lower
scale
of
the
Garden
District,
within
with
the
restoration
of
the
heritage,
buildings
and
they're,
careful
integration
within
the
development
and
through
extensive
discussions
with
city
staff
around
how
best
to
enhance
the
public
realm
and
the
neighborhood.
K
We
believe
the
revitalization
of
North
George
Street,
will
be
a
major
catalyst
for
energizing
this
neighborhood,
while
welcoming
all
of
its
constituents.
The
project
offers
a
solid
example
of
major
city
divisions,
working
together
to
create
a
significant
community
and
cultural
asset,
and
we
look
forward
to
your
support.
Thank
you.
B
B
There
are
no
members
of
public
who
are
here
to
speak
to
the
George
Street
revitalization,
okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I
won't
take
up
too
much
time
to
ask
questions
of
staff,
but
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
staff
and
also
to
move
the
recommendations
in
the
report.
I'm
moving
the
recommendations
contained
in
the
report
number
five,
which
is
the
rezoning
application,
but
also
the
heritage
recommendations
in
the
in
the
report.
Item
number
22.
B
Yeah,
that's
okay,
so
thank
you
to
the
staff
for
always
keeping
us
on
track.
I
do
have
actually
not
just
one
motion.
I
think
I've
took
two
motions
yeah
to
422;
okay,
so
we're
gonna
deal
with
this
concurrently
as
I
as
I
stated
before
we're
on
report
number
five
we're
gonna
be
dealing
with
report
number
22
in
a
short
order,
but
I
also
want
to
just
sort
of
place.
B
I
think
it's
very
important
for
us
to
number
one
acknowledge
how
significant
this
particular
redevelopment
project
is
not
just
in
the
in
the
context
of
one
local
downtown
neighborhood,
but
in
the
context
of
a
significant
citywide,
important
project.
It's
it's
no
mistake,
I
believe
that
staff
probably
showed
you
iconic
buildings
that
are
well
documented
and
well
recorded
across
the
city
as
one
way
of
contextualizing,
where
this
project
sits
in
the
context
of
citywide
city
building
and
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
their
exceptional
and
hard
work.
B
The
the
the
community
that
that
is,
comprised
and
constituted
around
the
garden
district
is
one
that,
of
course,
bears
their
social
responsibility
of
service
delivery.
We
have
thirteen
hundred
shelter
beds
in
war
27,
it's
often
times
I'm.
It's
commented
that
war
27
really
is
the
most
so
and
economically
diverse
ward
in
the
city.
Not
only
do
we
represent
the
poorest
postal
code
in
the
city,
we
have
the
wealthiest
postal
code
on
the
north
side
of
our
community.
B
However,
we're
able
to
try
to
do
the
best
that
we
can
to
strike
the
balance
this
particular
community
has
been
has
been
waiting
for
a
very
long
time
to
see
the
revitalization
of
this
particular
facility
and
what
you
saw
today.
Members
is
not
just
an
effort
that
began
a
year
ago
or
two
years
ago,
but
it
was
probably
a
conversation
that
began
shortly
after
we
took
office
in
2010
as
I
walked
north
and
south
along
George
Street.
B
Trying
to
understand
what
can
we
do
with
the
derelict
and
abandoned
heritage
properties
which,
to
me
seemed
like
incredible
cultural
values
and
assets
that
had
been
long
time
ignored
and
forgotten?
What
do
we
do
to
improve
a
facility
that
was
woefully
outdated,
did
not
provide
any
amenities
and
modern
features
to
provide
a
level
of
care
and
quality
of
life
for
the
vulnerable
men
who
are
actually
mostly
seniors
living
in
the
shelter's.
B
That's
currently
residing
in
scene
house
by
doing
direct
consultation
with
the
men
in
the
facility
to
make
sure
that
they
know
what's
going
on
and
that
there
is
as
much
information
provided
to
them
as
possible
to
work
through
the
programming
and
the
functionality
and
we're
going
to
do
this
slowly
incrementally
with
everybody
lockstep
in
in
in
process.
So
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
sort
of
highlight
the
importance
of
this
particular
project.
There
was
there
are
no
shortcuts.
B
It
is
I'm
sure
that
most
will
recognize
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
very
difficult
project
to
execute
we're
talking
about
a
half,
a
billion
dollars
of
investments,
largely
coming
from
the
city
to
repurpose
heritage
properties
and
also
to
build
a
modern,
state-of-the-art
facility
that
will
accomplish
a
whole
range
of
needs,
and
our
community
is
not
saying
no.
As
you
can
tell,
nobody
came
out
to
depute
against
this.
B
There
they've
worked
at
it
through
they've,
already
been
able
to
sort
of
provide
their
feedback
and
they're
going
to
be
part
of
the
the
success
of
the
program.
Moving
forward,
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
money
and
about
how
do
we
ensure
that
people
who
are
currently
living
in
the
shelter
are
going
to
transitionary
I?
Think
it's
important
to
note
that
in
the
staff
presentation
they
remarked
that
no
one
is
going
to
be
moving
until
everybody's
found
a
place
and
that
place
is
not
just
any
home
or
any
roof.
B
It's
got
to
be
a
place
with
the
adequate
supports.
So
we
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
ahead
of
us
and
they
are
prepared
to
do
that
and
the
local
community,
including
those
who
are
Street
involved,
who
are
sleeping
rough,
who
are
living
in
the
shelter's
who
are
also
home
owners
and
tenants.
Everyone
is
working
together.
So
this
is
actually
a
very
significant
and
good
news
story
and
I
just
want
to
highlight
it's
taken
us
six
years
to
get
to
this
stage.
B
Obviously,
we've
got
to
fight
pretty
hard
to
make
sure
that
the
budget
in
the
2018
process
is
going
to
reflect
the
neck
incremental
step
of
investments
needed
to
move
this
before
project
this
project
forward,
and
also
just
to
recognize
that
there's,
probably
not
too
many
neighborhoods
out
of
the
140
neighborhoods
in
the
City
of
Toronto.
That
can
do
what
we
are
going
to
be
doing
on
George
Street,
so
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
their
hard
work,
because
I
know
that
this
has
not
just
been
another
project,
but
rather
a
project
of
labor
and
love.
E
Very
briefly,
councillor
want
him
thanked.
Many
and
I
in
turn
want
to
thank
her
for
not
only
the
vision
as
she
mentioned.
This
has
gone
back
six
years,
but
the
process
and
a
real
commitment
to
working
with
of
those
who
are
living
in
sleeping
rough
on
the
streets
and
those
who
are
housed
to
design
this
in
a
way
that
meets
their
needs,
but
also
this
unyielding
commitment
to
equity.
The
councillor
want
am
shows
always
and
I
just
want
to
thank
her
in
addition
to
staff
and
the
residents
in
the
neighborhood
for
all
their
work.
D
Thank
You,
chair
I
too,
was
going
to
thank
council,
her
wong-tam,
but
also
just
comment
briefly.
If
I
could
on
why
this
project
is
so
unique,
it
does
go
back
a
long
way
and
I
recall
Kyle
ray
initially
tangling,
with
the
the
both
the
impact
of
Seton
House
on
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
but
also
with
the
kinds
of
services
and
the
nature
of
the
clientele
of
Seton
house
and
how
to
best,
serve
them
and
I.
Think
what
we
have
here
with
a
combination
of
both
supportive
housing,
long
term
care
and
shelter
beds.
D
All
these
comments
about
what
was
going
on
in
Seton
house,
because
it's
a
wet
program
it
put
in
the
annex
in
particular,
if
you've
ever
been
there.
You
understand
that
this
is
not
just
a
shelter.
It
is
a
place
that
is
almost
acting
like
a
hospice
or
palliative
care.
These
are
very
men
at
the
ends
of
their
lives
and
the
way
that
they
are
being
housed
and
they
are
being
housed
in
a
shelter.
D
It
is
not
acceptable
and
so
I'm
very
pleased
that
the
partnership
between
long-term
care
and
shelters
happened,
because
we
are
now
serving
a
client
base
that
we
have
identified
for
many
years
as
in
great
need.
So
it's
pretty
amazing
that
it's
gotten
this
far
and
I
want
to
credit
counsel
wong-tam
for
continuing
to
press
forward
with
this
it
looks
like
it
will
be
a
beautiful
building
and
hopefully
will
create
that
integration
into
the
neighborhood
that
you
are
I
know
are
hoping
to
achieve
with
it.
D
So
yeah
we've
all
got
to
stand
up
when
this
comes
to
budget
in
2018
and
say
this
is
as
important
as
all
the
other
things
that
are
in
the
capital
budget.
It's
it
is
precedent-setting
and
I
think
we
have
to
proceed
to
make
sure
that
this
happens
all
of
us
for
the
2018
budget.
So
thank
you
to
our
staff.
D
F
Sure
you
and
I
want
to
thank
staff
and
thank
you
and
in
the
local
community
that
has
been
supportive
of
all
the
conversations
that
have
been
going
on
about
this,
but
I
think
it
is
important
to
note
that
this
is
a
big
step
from
away
from
warehousing
people
to
housing,
people.
That's
how
I
see
it
when
you
have
a
shelter
with
600
people
like
we
had
it's,
it
has
it's
almost
like
a
warehouse
and
what
has
been
done
in
the
last
few
years.
It's
understanding
the
needs
of
people
of
those
people
we
put.
F
It
was
not
about
the
shell
that
we
had,
but
it's
understanding
what
services
we
need
to
provide
those
people
and
I
think
that's
what's
happening
here.
The
city
is
moving
from
that
into
a
model
that
we
we
understand,
that
in
order
to
properly
house
people
and-
and
you
start
in
many
cases
with
a
shelter
bed,
but
the
continuum
is
really
important
to
have
the
supportive
hazard
default
housing
to
follow
from
them
and
and
the
mechanisms
to
make
that
individual,
succeed
and
I
think
that
it.
This
is
the
key
project
in
our
city.
F
B
You
very
much
councillor
or
anyone
else
to
speak.
Okay,
so
there's
a
motion
before
us
to
amend
the
report,
all
those
in
favor,
okay
and
then
item
as
amended.
If
I
can
ask
for
a
recorded
vote,
yeah
just
we're
doing
number
five.
At
the
moment:

Thank
you.
B
The
accompanying
report
is,
is
item
number
22,
alterations
and
demolitions
of
heritage
properties,
349
George,
Street
309
and
311
George
Street
305,
George,
Street,
301,
George
Street,
also
known
as
301
a
George
Street
303
George
3
to
97
George,
Street
and
295
George
Street.
There
is
a
technical
amendment.
I
would
like
to
move
from
the
staff
and
it
and
also
to
move
to.
We
adopt
the
recommendations
from
the
Preservation
Board.
B
This
technical
amendment
is
to
amend
that
the
to
sort
of
amend
the
board
recommendations,
correct,
okay
and
just
to
highlight
once
again
and
I
want
to
spend
too
much
time.
Oftentimes
developers
will
will
submit
applications
that
may
affect
heritage
properties,
and
their
request
to
us
is
to
tear
down
the
heritage
property
and
to
just
build
something.
New,
shiny
and
gleaming
I
can
say
with
a
lot
of
confidence.
Is
that
the
the
restoration
readapt
ation
program
that
comes
with
the
George
Street
Seton
house?
B
Revitalization
demonstrates
to
every
single
developer,
an
applicant
and
aspirant,
who
wants
to
tear
down
a
heritage
building
to
make
way
for
new
development.
If
we
can
do
it
on
George
Street
and
if
you
have
ever
walked
down,
George
read
and
seen
the
state
of
those
heritage,
properties,
I,
can't
even
recall
the
number
of
fires
we've
had.
Those
buildings
have
been
largely
emptied
for
about
a
decade.
B
If
we
can
do
that
and
put
in
the
investment
to
make
sure
that
we
incorporate
those
buildings,
then
certainly
there
isn't
a
single
excuse,
I
can
think
of
for
why
we
would
tear
down
any
significant
cultural
heritage
assets.
So
this
report
in
some
ways
demonstrates
the
fact
that
the
city
is
demonstrating
its
own
thought
leadership
when
it
comes
to
heritage
and
cultural
preservation,
all
those
in
favor
of
the
staff
technical
amendments.
Thank
you
and
then
the
report,
as
as
amended
and
again
I
will
call
for
a
recorded
vote.
B
B
Actually
max
before
you
begin
I
think
yeah
max.
If
you
just
hang,
hang
on
we're
gonna
introduce
the
some
new
items
and
a
new
business.
So
sadly,
for
everybody
else,
we're
gonna
make
the
agenda
a
little
bit
longer.
I'd
like
to
move
that
we
introduce
item
te,
27.9,
three
and
TE
27.9
four
will
be
officially
adding
those
items
to
the
agenda,
all
those
in
favor,
okay,
any
pose
that
carries.
Thank
you
max
I'm.
Gonna
start
your
time
when
you're
ready.
Thank
you.

What
the
Grange
Community
Association
has
suggested
in
the
letter
that
we
have
before
you.
That
includes
a
stunning
illustration,
a
picture
of
what
this
could
be.
What
we've
suggested
in
our
letter,
I
think,
should
be
just
set
aside,
that
it
involves
reducing
parking
and
things
like
that.
The
important
thing
is
to
keep
the
discussion
going
among
the
people
who
are
directly
involved
in
this
and
I
will
support.
G
However,
the
counselor
thinks
having
just
gotten
this
new
report.
However,
the
counselor
thinks
we
should
proceed
here.
There
is
a
suggestion
for
an
October
30th
meeting
among
the
major
parties
and
I
think
that's
a
good
idea,
but
I'll
leave
it
up
to
councillor
greicy
to
figure
out
the
mechanism
of
this.

It's

final
report:
I
did
not
read
the
title
in
my
earlier
introduction.
I
wanted
that
put
in

record
Marky
welcome.
Thank
you.
Do
you
have
the
ability
to
turn
this
on?
Yes,
is
there
anything
you
want
to
put
on
there?
If
you
want
to
put
it
on
facing
yourself,
that's
perfectly
okay
and
the
staff
will
put
that
into
focus
person.
Okay,.
I
I
am
I'm
gonna,
try
and
tell
you
a
five
years
story
in
five
minutes.
I
didn't
know,
I
would
have
an
opportunity
to
pute
today,
because
I
thought
this
was
being
deferred
until
her
other
recently
five
years
ago.
All
the
owners
on
our
block,
which
we
call
the
Spahr
block,
Spadina
Peter,
Adelaide
Richmond,
which
is
this
block
here,
came
together
and
talked
about
the
future
of
the
block,
because
we
could
see
there
were
development
opportunities
on
the
east
side
of
the
block,
mostly
an
empty
lots.
We
strange
enough.
I
We
had
the
councillor
at
the
meeting,
not
the
previous
councillor,
and
it
turned
out
that
none
of
the
owners
wanted
to
develop
their
lands.
None
of
the
heritage,
building
owners
they
like
the
buildings,
the
way
they
were
they
wanted
to
continue.
This
was
fabulous
news.
We
represented
60
percent
of
the
owners
on
the
block,
so
we
fiddle
around
for
a
while,
and
we
came
up
with
a
party
of
a
plan
that
we
could
actually
take
the
parking
lot.
I
That
is
at
the
back
of
our
building,
it's
10,000
square
feet
and
turn
it
into
a
park
and
that
we
would
use
the
developments.
Thank
you.
We
would
use
the
whatever
agreements
were
able
to
be
made
by
the
developments
on
the
east
side
to
do
one
thing,
which
was
to
replace
our
parking
and
servicing
needs.
That
is
all
we
needed
in
order
to
give
up
this
piece
of
land
for
public
good.
I
We
went
to
the
city,
they
thought
it
was
a
fabulous
idea.
We
said
this
is
really
urgent.
This
was
three
years
ago
we
went
to
the
Planning
Department.
This
is
really
urgent.
You
need
to
get
behind
the
eight
ball
on
this
one.
Here
you
have
an
opportunity
nobody's
even
talking
to
you
about
developing
these
lands.
You
could
make
a
secondary
plan.
You
could
create
something.
Wonderful
here,
nothing
happened.
There
was
a
public
meeting
that
was
held
by
the
councillor
pre-application
meeting
this
and
the
other
property
were
both
presented.
I
This
property
presented
the
parking
lot
as
being
a
Piazza
saying
that
this
was
a
public
good
that
they
could
bring
to
the
development.
I
was
stunned,
I
didn't
I
respond
because
I'm
so
surprised
that
someone
was
using
our
land.
They
later
told
us
that
the
city
had
told
them
that
this
was
what
was
going
to
happen,
so
I
reconnected
with
the
city
and
asked
them.
What
is
what
is
happening?
How
are
you
going
to
make
this
happen
and
they
just
said
it's
our
policy.
It's
our
policy,
it's
our
policy,
I
said,
but
it's
our
land.
I
So
how
are
we
going
to
work
that
out
anyway,
we
wrote
a
letter,
the
property
owners
two
years
ago
to
councillor
Crecy,
we
copied
the
Planning
Department.
We
said
what
that
we
had
certain
things
we
wanted
to
see
happen.
We
wanted
to
see
a
master
plan
for
the
block.
This
was
a
fantastic
opportunity.
We
wanted
to
see
that
any
towers
that
were
built
on
the
block
fell
within
the
tall
tower
guidelines
and
we
wanted
to
make
the
servicing
and
the
parking
all
integrated
within
this
very
pressurized
block
in
the
downtown
core.
I
We
had
wood,
then
proceeded
on
a
series
of
planning
meetings,
all
the
stakeholders
alone,
two
lawyers,
the
owners,
the
architects,
everybody-
and
we
talked
about
how
this
could
happen.
I
can
honestly
say:
I,
don't
think
we
really
got
anywhere.
There
have
been
no
reports
out
of
any
of
those
meetings.
Just
say
how
this
was
gonna
happen
only
that
they
wanted
it
to
happen
anyway.
I
In
time
the
developers
both
submitted
proposals
so
now
we'd
lost
the
opportunity
to
do
a
comprehensive
block
plan
and
there's
a
whole.
While
we
were
sort
of
being
treated
like
a
pariah.
That
was
trying
to
offer
some
swampland
to
the
city,
and
you
know
this
was
a
really
didn't
seem
to
be
a
much
interest
other
than
they
told
us.
They
were
interested
in
it.
So
several
months
ago,
I
had
given
up
on
this
opportunity,
because
there
was
no,
how
or
why
that
this
was
going
to
happen
anyway,
late
in
July,
Linda,
MacDonald
called
another.
I
These
meetings
I
had
refused
to
go
to
the
meetings
anymore
because
nothing
was
being
accomplished,
but
she
told
me
that
it
had
all
been
resolved
that
grey
wood
who
were
submitting
this
proposal
had
figured
out
a
way
to
make
this
Park
happen.
So,
of
course,
I
went
to
the
meeting
well,
great
wood
opportunity
was
that
they
were
going
to
create
a
right-of-way
over
their
property
and
a
knock
out
panel.
In
case
we
ever
wanted
to
build
any
parking
under
our
park.
It's
not
our
Park.
I
It
was
meant
to
be
a
public
space
and
week
and
I
said
very
clearly
at
that
meeting
that
we
cannot
provide
the
park
unless
we
get
our
parking
back
and
our
ability
to
load
and
ship
and
receive
in
the
building,
so
I
contacted
Linda
many
times
after
that,
no
response.
I
said
you
know,
you
haven't
met
any
of
the
tall
tower
guidelines,
there's
been
no
master
plan
and
now
there's
no
way
to
get
this
blow
this
Park
to
happen.
I
So,
a
couple
days
before
community
council
I
got
a
note
from
the
councilor
saying
that
there
have
been
approval
report
written
and
none
of
the
owners
on
the
block
had
been
notified
about
this.
None
of
us
at
4:01
had
been
notified.
I've
checked
with
all
of
them
and
apparently
I'm
told
this
was
a
mistake
that
somehow
somebody
was
supposed
to
have
sent
this
out
and
mistakenly,
it
didn't
go
out,
so
we
were
all
hit
broadside,
none
of
the
owners
or
even
even
able
to
be
here
last
week.
That's
why
it
was
deferred.
I
B
I
Just
terrifically
disappointing:
that's
all
a
missed
opportunity
and
this
development
does
not
fit
into
any
of
the
city's
tall
tower
guidelines
or
any
of
its
secondary
plan
policy
directions.
And
it
doesn't
explain
to
us
why
and
in
this
report,
by
the
way
our
right-of-way
has
been
taken
out,
and
it
seems
to
claim
that
we,
because
of
us
I
can't
I,
haven't
had
time
to
read
it
enough.
But
I'd
like
to
thank
Carlene
opportunity
for
all
their.
I
E
B
Anyone
else
with
questions
for
the
speaker,
Margit
I,
have
a
question.
I
just
want
to
clarify,
because
it
said
I
don't
think
it's
fully
clear
to
me
the
site
that
that
you're
speaking
about
in
question
is
not
is
not
necessarily
owned
by
you.
It's
it's.
It
is
owned
by
us.
It
is
owned
by
you,
yes,
and,
and
is
it
so
it's.
I
B
I
Entirely
ours,
it
can
tirely
be
done
by
us,
but
we
have
an
issue
which
is
that
we
have
whatever
45
parking
spaces
back
there.
We
can't
afford
to
lose
the
revenue
from
those
spaces,
and
we
also
have
it's
our
only
way
to
service
the
building
and
we
can't
lose
that
either.
So
some
solution
needs
to
be
worked
out
to
make
the
park
happen.
I
It's
a
possibility.
That
was
one
of
the
possibilities,
but
this
is
again
no
work
has
been
done
to
try
and
figure
out
what
the
best
option
is,
whether
we
should
be
making
the
parking
lot
below
and
going
in
under
the
developers,
land
or
whether
it
will
be
much
cheaper
and
I
believe
it
would
be
to
find
the
parking
somewhere
else
either.
In
one
of
these
two
developments.
I
Of
our
property
that
we
need
loading
and
shipping
facilities
that
are
currently
on
our
property
I
mean
no
matter
what
we
do.
This
is
more
difficult
for
us,
because
we're
gonna
I
know
we're
gonna
have
to
give
up
some
stuff
in
order
to
make
this
happen,
but
we
really
believe
in
the
vision
so
to
be
treated
as
though
we're
we're
trying
to
you
know.
You
know
nobody
gives
this
kind
of
land
to
the
city
for
if
and
not
in
return.
I
B
E
Q
You,
madam
chair
again,
my
name
is
Neil
smiley
and
it's
like
coming
to
the
speaking
opportunity
and
losing
your
wind
because
of
the
staff
report.
That's
just
a
ride,
so
I'm
going
to
wing
it
and
I
apologize
in
advance.
But
if
you
could
perhaps
give
me
your
dull
gence
I'll,
let
you
know
what
our
issue
is:
I
act
for
the
Templar
hotel,
that's
situated
on
the
south
side
of
the
development
property.
The
Templar
Hotel
is
a
boutique
property,
very
well
known
to
the
entertainment
users
of
that
hotel.
Q
It's
very
active
during
TIFF
all
year
round
a
wonderful
looking
facility,
an
office
take
the
moment
just
to
put
a
frontal
view.
This
would
be
looking
Northwood
from
Adelaide
Street
to
the
north,
the
development
sites
going
to
and
you'll
see
in
a
moment,
wraparound
from
left
and
behind
Templars
property.
If
you
look
at
it
from
the
corner,
I
guess
pictures
are
worth
a
thousand
words
and
apologize.
It
was
a
gray
day,
but
the
Templar
hotel
properties
in
each
story,
building
it
has
window
to
ceilings,
Florida
ceilings
windows.
Q
The
reason
why
the
Templar
is
here-
and
we
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
have
engaged
with
city
staff
and
the
counselor's
office-
is
to
show
you
a
before
and
after
pictures
as
I
said
as
a
thousand
words
and
the
after
of
the
photograph
is
there
before
you,
so
the
Templar
hotel
and
the
foreground
with
the
proposed
read
redesign
of
the
building
is
essentially
shoehorning
the
building
from
its
western
and
northern
exposures.
What's
Templars
issues,
it
changes
the
reality
of
what
that
hotel
serves
and
the
entertainment
district
as
its
functioning
to
the
entertainment
clientele.
Q
As
you
can
see,
you've
got
the
structure
rising
above
the
roof
of
the
hotel
property.
Five
point:
five
meters
away
no
further
than
myself,
maybe
two
councillor
McMahon
and
to
the
rear.
You
have
a
tower
rising
ten
meters,
away
from
the
back
fascia
of
the
hotel
property
and
if
I
could
show
you
that
back
fascia
right
now.
Those
are
the
windows
from
the
back,
so
we're
looking
in
a
South.
Q
Q
But
what
we're
looking
at
is
the
city's
Official
Plan
the
statement
for
the
Kings
Medina
secondary
plan
that
new
buildings
will
be
cited
for
adequate
light
view,
privacy
compatibility
with
the
built
form
context
and,
secondly,
new
buildings
will
achieve
a
compatible
relationship
with
their
built
form
context
through
consideration
of
such
matters
as
hiked
massing
scale,
setbacks,
step,
backs,
replaying
architectural
character
and
what
not
the
revised
application
has.
Some
wonderful
merits
to
it.
Q
That's
a
view
from
the
sixth
or
seventh
storey
hotel
suite
looking
Northwood,
that's
looking
exactly
at
a
wall
that
will
be
give
or
take
10
to
12
meters
away.
Presently,
there's
a
building
in
the
foreground.
In
the
background
this
photo
is
from
a
similar
unit
but
poses
another
problem
which
is
on
the
seventh
floor.
You'll
see
an
outdoor
patio
that
outdoor
patio
is
looking
immediately
to
the
north
and
the
building
will
be
ten
meters
north
but
to
its
left
to
the
west.
Q
The
tower
wraps
around
as
I
showed
you
in
that
second
photograph,
five
point:
five
meters
away,
not
to
say
that
you'd
like
to
see
what
the
bathroom
layout
looks
like,
but
it's
open
wide,
open,
floor-to-ceiling
windows,
looking
northward.
What
we're
hoping
to
do,
madam
chair
and
members
of
council,
is
utilize
this
time
with
the
applicant
and
planning
staff
to
figure
out
if
there's
mitigation,
measures
that
can
be
incorporated
into
this
plan.
Q
The
staff
report
that
you've
got
before
you
today,
thankfully,
is
the
first
mention
of
the
Templar
hotel,
there's
a
page
about
the
Templar
hotel,
which
wasn't
in
the
first
60
or
50
pages
of
both
a
planning
application
of
the
applicants,
planning
staff
report
and
staff
reports
by
a
city's
original
staff
report.
We're
quite
thankful
that
someone's
looking
at
it
now.
We
would
very
much
like
to
be
a
part
of
the
site
plan
approval
process.
Q
Madam
chair
and
councillors,
the
unique
things
that
have
to
be
done
for
the
benefit
of
the
Templar
will
flush
themselves
that
we
believe
during
the
site
plan
process.
So
if
the
councillor
is
choosing
to
push
forward
recommendations
today,
we
would
ask
if
we
could
be
participants
at
that
table.
Those
are
my
submissions
and
I
do
again
want
to
thank
councillor
and
planning
staff,
as
well
as
the
applicant
in
recent
days,
trying
to
figure
this
out
with
us.
Thank.
H
It's
not
a
residential
use
and
there's
no
right
to
a
view
and
whatever
whatever
reasons
when
the
hotel
built
itself,
when
the
owner
of
the
hotel
built
the
property
built
it
effectively,
lot-lined
to
lot
line
with
no
setbacks.
So
its
view
was
it's
going
to
export
on
its
neighbors,
the
any
particular
setback.
H
So,
in
fact,
the
setbacks
that
are
being
offered
in
which
are
improved
setbacks
to
the
existing
condition,
in
fact,
are
on
grey
Woods
property
with
respect
to
the
park
and
the
area
I
just
I
just
want
to
give
a
little
explanation
of
the
site,
see
if
I
can
do
it.
This
way
so
gray,
wood
owns
the
property.
That
is
in
white
on
the
corner
and
401
Richmond
is
right.
There
in
purple,
that
is
gray,
is
essentially
the
parking
area
of
Marg's
site.
H
My
client
has
been
in
discussions
with
respect
to
providing
access
to
the
area
that
you
would
like
to
either
be
a
park
or
a
pop
and
in
fact,
we're
open
to
that
kind
of
access
through
our
property
subject
to
reasonable
terms
and
conditions
and
and
that
discussions
been
going
on
going.
I
think
there's
a
difficulty
because
there's
a
desire
from
the
adjacent
landowner
to
provide
a
park
or
an
open
space,
but
with
respect
to
a
gray
wood.
It
is
in
fact
providing
a
pop
on
its
property,
providing
the
appropriate
parkland
contribution.
H
We've
been
asked
to
do
it
in
cash
and
loo
and
and
behaving
appropriately
with
respect
to
the
section
37
contribution,
so
we're
happy
to
sit
down
and
have
further
Russians,
but
there
there
there
clearly
is
a
need
for
an
understanding
of
roles
and
responsibilities,
and
I
just
want
folks
to
understand
that
gray
wood
is
operating
appropriately
in
terms
of
the
context
of
its
application
and
open.
If
there's
a
possible
resolution.
E
And
utilize
it
Cynthia,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
for
those
comments
so
utilizing
the
map
you
have
under
the
current
proposal.
There
is
a
pops
proposed
that
does
connect
to
the
potential
site
of
a
park
or
a
public
or
a
pops.
Yes,
401
Richmond.
Could
you
identify
where
that
is
so
people
understand.
H
E
That
is
part
of
the
proposal.
There
is
a
pop,
so
it's
been
identified
to
connect
from
the
street
to
the
adjacent
property
where
there
may
be
a
Publix
where
you
mentioned
that
there's
a
willingness
to
look
at
utilizing
the
right-of-way
for
loading
and
parking
within
the
gray
wood
site
for
access
to
a
potential
parking
structure
in
there
next
door
at
the
401
parking
site.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
okay!
Thank
you
very
much!
E
H
A
If
you
could
leave
that
up
there,
I
don't
know
if
anyone
else
has
any
questions,
but
I
had
a
question
so
just
on
the
way
you've
shown
from
the
Inc
the
access
from
Adelaide
to
the
center
of
this
series
of
buildings
in
the
block
that
walkway
it
would
be
the
pop
or
the
pop
is
at
the
back
or
is
whole
thing
a
pop.
It's.
A
H
A
H
A
E
H
You,
madam
chair,
the
the
work
the
planning
has
been
doing
over
the
last
several
years
in
King
Spadina.
We
have
a
public
realm
plan
which
was
adopted
by
City
Council,
which
shows
the
potential
pops
in
the
center
of
this
of
this
block.
So
that
is
a
document
we
were
working
with.
The
recently
adopted
each
CD
at
the
last
council
meeting
identifies
the
heritage
buildings
on
the
block
and
therefore
provides
protection
to
the
heritage.
On
the
remainder
of
the
block.
H
We
also
are
just
completing
our
work
on
the
update
of
the
secondary
plan
for
King
Spadina
and
in
the
secondary
plan.
There
will
be
language
which
specifically
speaks
to
protecting
the
opportunity
for
the
pops
in
the
center
of
this
block.
So
there
are
a
number
of
documents
which
will
be
have
been
approved
or
coming
forward
to
council,
which
will
do
that.
H
We
did
look
at
the
pops
as
part
of
our
review
of
this
application
and,
as
Miss
mcdougal
has
pointed
out,
the
gray
would
application
actually
expands
that
central
space
so
that
we
have
a
larger
property
and
we
have
better
pedestrian
access
to
it,
and
certainly
there's
nothing
on
the
gray
wood
property
which
would
prevent
us
from
proceeding
with
a
central,
open
space
on
this
block.
So.
E
The
vision,
their
understanding
from
the
secondary
plan-
that's
emerging,
is
for
a
public
space
within
there
and
with
the
HCD
there's
a
level
of
protection
there.
For
it
you've
mentioned
a
pops.
The
the
possibility
of
a
park
has
also
been
raised,
has
parks
weighed
in
yet
and
and
I'm
and
I
will
have
a
motion
to
this
effect.
I
still
don't
see
why
this
can't
be
a
park.
H
We
have
been
consulting
with
parks
and
they
have
been
involved
in
this
process
since
the
beginning.
They
have
identified
that
the
pops
in
the
center
of
the
block
in
terms
of
having
access
on
to
public
street
and
also
being
unencumbered,
it
creates
challenges
for
them
in
terms
of
parks,
and
so
their
response
to
planning
has
been
that
they
wouldn't
support
the
central
space
being
designated
as
parkland,
but
they
certainly
support
as
pursuing
it
as
a
public
space.
E
The
process
of
how
we
get
from
here
to
an
eventual
public
space
within
the
block,
as
outlined
in
in
the
initial
report
I
understand
it,
was
the
proposal-
was
to
have
an
easement
which
would
be
provided
by
grey
wood
within
their
parking
facility,
as
well
as
some
upfront
money
for
design.
In
the
supplementary
report,
I
noticed
that
that
easement
is
no
longer
included.
Why
is
that.
H
It
wasn't
clear
that
marquis
idler
and
the
401
Richmond
team
were
comfortable
with
the
way
that
we
had
approached
the
easements
and
how
they
would
actually
function
in
terms
of
how
the
parking
would
get
constructed
underground.
Who
would
pay
to
build
that
parking
and
the
other
matter
that
still
outstanding
is
because
the
loading
for
401
Richmond,
which
is
heritage
building,
is
off
of
that
potential
pop
space.
H
There
was
some
question
as
to
how
you
would
then
relocate
for
loading
and
how
make
that
work,
and
whether
those
easements
were
actually
the
the
best
way
to
address
that.
So
without
having
a
consensus
on
the
easements
we
recommended
taking
them
out.
We
don't
believe
that
stops
us
from
continuing
the
conversation,
but
the
easements,
and
certainly
as
Miss
mcdougal
has
pointed
out.
Gray
wood
continues
to
be
willing
to
talk
to
us
about
how
we
achieve
that.
Then.
E
Just
picking
up
on
on
your
last
comment,
there
Linda,
if
there
is
a
recommendation
to
between
now
and
counsel,
continue
that
work
to
see
if
the
resolution
can
be
met
to
seize
this
opportunity
for
a
public
space.
Is
that
something
that
City
Planning
is
able
to
time
wise
to
participate
in
and
be
part
of.
H
Planning
is
prepared
to
do
that.
In
fact,
we
have
set
up
a
meeting,
it's
scheduled
for
October
30th,
and
that
meeting
will
be
with
the
landowners,
City
planning
staff
transportation
staff
to
help
us
with
the
issue
of
the
loading
and
the
maneuvering
of
how
you
deal
with
that
and
park
staff
will
be
at
that
meeting
on
the
30th.
Thank.
E
Thank
you
and
I'll
start
by
moving
a
motion
if
it
can
be
put
on
the
screen.
The
motion
specifically
is
is
to
move
forward,
though
without
recommendations
and
as
well
to
specific
pieces
of
work
to
take
place.
One
is
as
it
relates
to
convening
with
the
with
the
impacted
parties
that
work
towards
addressing
the
the
the
need
to
create
this
public
space,
and
the
second
is
for
parks,
fostering
recreation
to
both
review
and
I
recognize.
E
This
was
mentioned
in
the
supplementary
report,
but
I
would
like
them
to
review
this
further
and
to
report
directly
because
I'm
not
yet
fully
convinced
that
this
cannot
be
a
park.
Let
me
say
a
few
comments
and
in
terms
of
the
way
forward
here,
this
is
in
King
Spadina.
It
gets
complicated
in
King
Spadina,
as
you
have
seen
with
the
conversations
the
site
that
we're
looking
at
is
a
tall
building
site
I.
E
It
can
meet
its
standards
within
this
site
and
I
just
want
to
say
off
the
top
that
the
the
applicant
gray
would,
as
a
development
partner,
has
been
working
really
hard
with
us
and
I
want
to
recognize
that,
and
thank
them.
There
have
been
many
changes
over
time
at
one
point.
There
were
two
towers
here,
not
one
I.
It
was
much
higher,
but
this
willingness
to
work
hard
to
unlock
the
possibility
for
a
significant
public
space
in
the
interior
in
an
area
of
the
city
that
is
deficient
severely
deficient
and
public
space
in
green
space.
E
They
have
demonstrated
a
real
willingness
to
work
with
us
on
that,
through
a
Pop's
connection
to
the
space
through
a
pops
that
would
enlarge
the
space
and
the
willingness
to
look
at
easements
or
other
conversations
related
to
parking
access
and
loading,
and
so
I
do
want
to
recognize
and
thank
them
as
a
partner
for
their
tremendous
hard
work
on
this
now.
The
reason
I
and
it
is
part
a
of
my
motion-
I'm
not
ready
to
approve
this-
is
because
this
site-
and
this
application
cannot
be
seen
on
its
own.
E
It
does
need
to
be
seen
as
a
block
and,
as
we've
heard,
from
staff
city,
our
city
planning
staff
agree
with
that
that
this
the
possibility
for
a
mid
block
public
space.
There
is
significant.
It's
been
identified
through
our
secondary
plan
for
King
Spadina,
the
hair.hc
D
will
protect
it
and
it
envisions
this
space.
The
challenge
is
how
to
get
there
and
it's
tough
to
get
there,
because
this
isn't
necessarily
city-owned
land.
It
is
different
landowners,
and
so
this
is
the
art
of
the
possible
here.
E
So
the
property
owner
at
the
adjacent
site
at
401
Richmond
has
it
expressed
a
desire
to
provide
a
park
or
publicly
accessible
space
for
the
city.
They
have
expressed
a
desire
to
do
that
and
it
is
in
the
city's
interest
to
make
that
happen.
The
art
of
the
possible
here
is
to
figure
out.
How
do
you
do
that
understanding
their
parking
and
loading
needs?
E
If
this
was
park,
we
could
look
at
it
from
a
section
42
consideration,
but
parks
are
telling
us
this
isn't
parkland,
so
we
need
to
get
creative
here
and
I'm
still
not
convinced
that
it's
not
parkland.
So
the
current
plan
and
the
plan
leading
up
to
the
supplementary
report
has
envisioned
the
following
that
there
would
be
an
easement
provided
by
grey
wood,
that
there
would
be
money
provided
upfront
for
design
in
that
there
would
as
well
be
the
pops
connection
leading
from
Adelaide
into
the
space.
E
Now
that's
part
of
the
way
there,
but
the
opportunity
for
public
space
for
me
and
my
comfort
needs
to
be
locked
down
with
these
details.
I
don't
want
to
leave
it
up
to
the
possibility
thereof,
with
funding
for
design.
I
would
like
to
know
for
sure.
That's
the
certainty.
I
need
until
I
recognize
and
close
that
it
must
be
frustrating
for
our
development
partner,
grey
wood
that
this
isn't
just
proceeding.
D
A
A
A
D
A
A
N
I
have
an
amendment
and
that
City
Council
requested
general
manager,
transportation
services
to
report
to
City
Council
at
its
meeting
November
7th
on
the
traffic
management
strategy
for
the
area
around
exhibition
place
during
the
Honda
Indy.
This
is
an
approval
for
three
additional
years
of
closure
of
lakeshore
I,
don't
know
if
you
ever
go
down
to
the
Honda
Indy,
but
it
pretty
much
means
while
the
cars
are
moving.
Quick
in
exhibition
place,
they're
not
moving
at
all
in
Liberty,
Village
and
so
be.
N
It
would
be
nice
if
they
took
this
and
can
into
consideration
and
perhaps
provided
some
traffic
management
down
there
I
for
the
record.
This
is
not
me.
Switching
sides
on
the
war
for
or
against
the
car,
but
I
do
expect
cars
to
move
a
little
bit
quicker
than
they
are
currently
around.
The
Honda
G
does.
A
Anyone
have
any
questions
or
anyone
else
to
speak.
Okay,
all
those
in
favor,
any
opposed
I
need
to
see
some
hands.
Folks,
sorry
you're
opposed
or
no
okay.
Excuse
me,
madam
we're,
in
the
middle
of
a
vote.
Oh
okay,
sorry!
It's
your
staff!
I
didn't
realize.
Okay,
sir
we're
just
in
the
middle
of
a
vote.
So
that
seemed
like
it
was
unanimous.
Okay
that
carries
item
as
amended.
N
Thank
you
very
much,
I
mean
Cal,
sir
Layton.
The
item
is
T
construction,
staging
area
phase
one
and
three
Markham
Street
myrish
village
I
have
an
amendment
that
adds
some
additional
conditions,
none
of
which
are
completely
out
of
the
ordinary.
This
is
a
councillor
wong-tam
special
that
I'm
just
adding
on
the
ones
that
that
that
have
not
yet
become
standard
issue
conditions
in
a
construction
staging
area.
Great.
A
A
Well,
I
would
normally
say
yes,
but
we've
have
a
long
speaker's
list
on
item
27.6.
So
there's
still
ten
o'clock
items
so
we're
gonna
do
27.6,
we'll
do
quick
releases
just
after
the
lunch
break.
The
first
speaker
on
this
is
Michael
Shelley,
sir.
Please
approach
have
a
seat
and
make
sure
your
mic
is
working.
The
button
is
read
it's
on
great.
You
have
five
minutes.
My.
S
S
I
know
what
I
might
seems
somewhat
discombobulated
I
also
say,
however,
being
the
ongoing
and
Ombudsman
for
a
very
large
co-op
will
rattle
anyone,
so
I've
ridden
accessed
as
best
various
information
that
came
to
me
rather
not
very
easily
in
I,
mean
I've
ended
up
with
a
number
of
questions.
21
actually
and
I-
take
exception
to
this
attachment
9,
where
it
says,
whereas
Council
of
the
City
of
Toronto
has
provided
adequate
information
to
the
public
and
has
held
at
least
one
public
meeting
in
accordance
with
the
Planning
Act.
S
There
is
quite
a
few
questions
outstanding
on
this
development
proposal.
They
fall
into
two
themes:
the
effect
of
475
on
city
park,
co-op,
in
which
the
building
right
behind
the
hotel
is
14
floors
and
the
planning
issues
out
of
the
proposal
now
I
discovered
that
I
could
and
should
have
sent
my
questions
to
the
Toronto
East
York,
Community,
Council
email
and
those
have
just
been
sent
to
you.
S
A
A
A
S
First
I
want
to
thank
members
of
council
and
madam
chair
for
taking
the
opportunity
to
hear
me
out.
I've
been
an
employee
of
the
Marriott
Courtyard
hotel
now
for
almost
38
years,
I'm
the
chief
shop
steward
there
I
represent
176
employees
in
total,
who
will
basically
lose
their
jobs
from
this
application.
The
initial
application,
which
was
made
by
King
set,
was
to
have
a
property
which
would
have
298
rooms.
S
This
in
itself
was
a
bit
of
a
shock,
but
I
figured
that
you
know.
298
rooms
it'll
still
provide
some
sort
of
working
base
for
the
staff
that
we
have
now.
A
hundred
and
seventy-six
employees
who
are
impressively
employed
by
the
courtyard
would
probably
get
down
to
about
70
to
80
individuals,
I
thought.
Well,
maybe
this
could
be
something
we
could
live
with.
You
know
through
retirement.
S
You
know
a
lot
of
people
would
take
retirement
packages,
and
you
know
it
would
work
out
kind
of
well.
Unfortunately,
since
the
last
time
that
I've
sat
in
front
of
this
council,
the
amendment
has
come
through
or
that
the
property
itself
now
from
going
298
rooms
is
now
down
to
98
rooms.
This
means
that
out
of
the
hundred
and
seventy
six
individuals
that
are
presently
employed
at
this
hotel,
basically
there
will
be
less
than
50
employed
there,
it'll
be
the
removal
of
the
laundry
department,
our
banquet
department.
S
These
are
all
long
serving
employees
who
had
a
relatively
good
jobs
which
now
are
going
to
have
to
be
thrown
into
a
market
looking
for
work
and
the
work
is
not
there,
there's
no,
no
employment
possibilities
in
the
in
the
hotel
industry.
That's
one
of
the
items
that
I
want
to
address.
The
other
one
is
I've,
because
I
guess
I've
little
grown
up
at
that
corner
of
Yonge
and
College
I've
seen
a
lot
of
changes
in
that
area.
I
think
the
city
is
making
a
mistake.
There
is
too
much
infill
being
put
into
that
area.
S
Think
that
we're
making
a
mistake
this
was
not
allowed
at
Yonge
and
Eglinton
I,
don't
think
it
should
be
allowed
there.
We've
got
condominiums
sprouting
out
in
that
area.
We've
got
the
tea
house
coming
in.
We
have
another
property
on
a
Grenville.
We
have
a
property
coming
right
across
the
street,
where
st.
S
Charles
Tavern
used
to
be
that
whole
block
is
being
redeveloped,
there's
a
even
an
application
in
front
for
the
the
Goodman
building,
which
is
one
of
Toronto's
historic
landmarks,
where
they're
going
to
build
a
tower
behind
the
Goodman
building,
the
building
on
the
south,
west
or
sorry
southeast
corner,
where
the
Shoppers
Drug
Mart
is
now
that
building
is
being
torn
down
and
two
more
towers
are
being
put
in
there.
How
many
residential
units
are
going
to
be
allowed
to
go
into
that
area
before
there's,
not
enough
support
for
it?
S
There
is
no
community
area
a
community
center
there,
the
subway
will
be
overflowing
with
people
trying
to
get
in
in
the
mornings
I
just
I.
Don't
I,
don't
understand
that.
Why
we're
allowing
this
much
there's
no
work
and
play
there?
No
potential
for
individuals
to
be
employed
in
that
area.
It's
it's
becoming
like
a
little
bit
of
a
bedroom
community
I
applaud
councillor
Matt
low
for
him,
basically
forcing
the
development
that's
going
on
at
at
Yonge
and
Eglinton
to
enact
office
space
in
that
development.
Why
can't
we
have
this
developer?
S
King
set
property,
enact
jobs,
hotel
rooms
in
that
area?
What's
the
difference
between
hotel
rooms
and
office
space
they're
both
providing
employment
they're
both
providing
jobs
to
end
relatively
good
jobs
to
people
who
are
difficult
to
employ
it's
hard
for
us
to
find
employment
anywhere
else,
I
want
it
just
basically,
in
closing.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
thanks
thanks
again.
Okay,.
A
L
You
louise
mentioned
before
he
pretty
much
described
the
whole
situation
in
that
corner.
I'm
actually
want
to
speak
about
how
much
of
it
employment
has
been
gonna,
be
listen
because
it's
not
only
one
proposal.
Right
now,
as
I
speak
in
the
city,
the
city
has
going
through
about
a
proposal.
That's
coming
down
the
pipe.
You
know
this
is
targeting
hotels,
industry.
The
hotel
industry
is
very,
very
needed
in
Toronto.
L
There's
a
lot
of
things:
the
ripple
effects,
if
you
start
removing
all
the
hotel
rooms
that
we
have
available
the
city
conventions.
We
got
bunch
of
colleges
right
now,
graduating
I'm,
a
graduated
from
college
and
there's
so
much
job.
But
it's
takes
so
much
careers
that
people
had
chosen
to
you.
I
have
been
doing
11
years
in
this
industry,
but
I
know
others.
People
have
been
in
30
40,
and
it's
really.
The
stock
of
rooms
in
the
hotel
in
the
in
the
city
is
going
lower
and
lower
and
lower.
L
L
How
high
is
gonna,
be
the
price
to
pay
to
stay
in
the
city
to
bring
their
families
to
the
hospital
for
care
that
they
also
stay
in
the
hotel
people
who
have
the
problem
with
the
houses
they
have
to
stay
in
hotels?
There
is
a
lot
of
mistake:
college
graduates.
They
will
have
a
hard
time,
I
graduate
in
2003
in
Kahala,
Bryan,
College
and
I
had
an
incredible
difficult
time
to
find
jobs,
even
in
a
career
that
I
choose
for
you
to
do
about
25
years.
L
How
is
he
how
difficult
the
constancy
I
know?
You
have
no
way
to
say
the
developer
to
stop,
but
also
you
can
actually
have
the
opportunity
to
say
to
stand
up
for
the
hospitality
industry.
Would
you
all
use
when
you
travel
abroad,
it's
good
to
stay
in
downtown
Toronto?
It's
it's
good
to
stay
in
a
downtown
any
city
you
visit
it.
The
thing
is,
it
is
important.
It
is
important
you're
taking
this
and
take
it
very
seriously,
because
there
is
no
other
way.
I
see
one
hotel
going
down
now.
There's
a
Chelsea
Hotel!
L
There's
a
Royal,
your
proposal.
Well,
your
proposal,
there's
so
many!
Well,
that's
what
it
take
who
to
listen
to
the
hospitality
industry.
All
the
developers
I'm
pro
development
I
really
really
appreciate
what
the
Toronto
are
becoming
a
little
bit
more
of
a
more
of
a
world-class
City.
But
we
don't
have
a
bed
to
bed
to
shelter
this
or
to
welcome
these
visitors.
Where
are
they
gonna
go
they're
gonna
stay
in
the
city
of
Markham,
which
is
great
city,
but
it's
far
away
from
downtown
they're
gonna
stay
by
the
airport.
L
It's
a
great
area,
however,
is
far
from
downtown,
so
suppliers,
kitchen
staff,
hotel.
Ladies
soup
take
care
of
the
rooms,
all
this
person,
gotta
be
losing
their
jobs,
and
it's
not
really
really
fair.
So,
if
you
can,
this
council
can
do
something
about
it
and
put
a
stop
to
this
madness.
This
is
just
sending
a
message
by
saying
yesterday,
you're
sending
a
message
to
every
developer
in
the
city
that
it's
okay
to
come
into
the
city
and
take
away
those
jobs
or
careers.
