Thank you, I do want to first extend my thanks and deep gratitude for the family of Stanley, grisel and Pamela mossad, a and two pancetta for working with me to make sure that we saw this laneway renaming happen or naming not renaming.

F

If you had the opportunity to read the brief biography of Stan, Stan was an incredible leader in the black community here in Toronto, I got to know him as well when we named a park after him and had the chance to go out for lunch with him at his favorite place right across the road at the Acadian Court, and he was an incredible man in a very interesting and obviously had a very powerful and significant role in all of the things that he did. He helped to establish the railway porters Union.

F

When you think back to this, how I mean Stanley was 97, I believe when he passed away last year, and so he saw such transformation in our city he, so he was very active in bringing the black the black community into the labor movement and was a very active participant in the Toronto region. Labor council, the Toronto labor counts at the time. He was also the first black person to run for office in Toronto for MPP, and he ran for the CCF in York East and thank you Mike I know you'd appreciate that as well.

F

He also became the first black citizenship court judge and continued to play that role. For many years he passed along some of his artifacts, which I've donated to the archives of the Toronto archives and many of his other.

F

Documents, I guess that show his life were submitted to the Canadian archives. So, with this naming with the park naming and a historical plaque that is coming, we will remember and honor Stanley G grisel in our city and in our community for a very long time to come. Thank you for being here today and.

We're talking about unamended agreement, section 37 agreement, the original agreement in 2015 or 14 Trent Avenue specified that quote a cash contribution of $300,000 would be directed towards park improvements in the area and a hundred thousand would be directed towards public realm improvements, a Main Square community recreation center and in the vicinity of the intersection of Maine's Main Street and at worth Avenue at its December 5th 2017 meeting two years later, councillor McMahon submitted a motion to alter the section 37 benefits to the following: a $400,000 cash contribution to public realm and laneway improvements in the area near Trent.

C

Haven't you kelvin Avenue and luttrell Avenue. The consultation for this change took place on February 7th and the revised application was submitted on February, 8th even by city standards. This is a rush process.

C

There are many beneficiaries of the previous agreement from 2015 who clearly were not consulted about the change there. You know people who park people, people who prefer to see more green space in that area, isn't desperately needed and there is nothing in between Main, Street and Victoria Park south of the Danforth. So the original benefits would have been shared amongst a wider group of people in that area and created some well much needed green space.

C

The the they're approximately the Trent Avenue development is going to bring about 600 new residents to that area. The current residents in the residential area that we're talking about next to that era, but roughly 200, so the new, the number of people coming into this neighborhood, who might benefit from some green spaces, is much higher than the existing population. I would like to ask that the this amendment be rejected and that the original community benefits are Surry, section 37 agreement be maintained. It has far more benefits for far more people.

C

A

Thank you, sir. Are there any members with questions of for the speaker seeing none? Thank you. Are there any other members of the public here to speak to this matter? Okay, none we'll bring this into community council questions of staff. Seeing none members to speak. Oh! Is that a hand going up councilors it's to speak, okay, councillor McManus.

K

Be thank you very much, and so this has been an extensive project over a few years. Actually because we we absolutely love green space and want more of it in our area. This little section right here, we have had conversations with ryokan about potential in their parking lots, which has not shown fruitful at this point, so we I've been working with the danfa, a village residents association. Who is the that's the group.

K

That's checking this and crusading and spearheading this initiative with me with the laneway project, with our cities, public realm Department we've had numerous meetings. Over the years we've had on-site meetings, we've had walks and we've had a statutory meeting recently with the planning staff as well. So it's something that has come from the local community, the immediate local residents in the area and they're super excited. We've had kids involved all generations and we are very proud of this project and looking for our two beautification in this area. Thank you lobbyist boy. Thank.

A

You very much Council just to clarify. Are you moving the recommendations in the staff report, yeah I'm, hoping that staff recommendations? Thank you. Thank you very much any other members who would like to speak. Okay, all those in favor of the recommendations in the staff report. Okay, any opposed that carries. Thank you.

A

Te thirty point: nine, ten to sixteen Wellesley Street West, five to seven st. Nicholas Street and 586 Yonge Street, the zoning amendment refusal report. We have two registered speakers right now: Marilyn taped, McClellan I, followed by Kathy carnevale, can I ask you to come to the front of the room and if there's any members here who speak to this item, please let us know, register the clerk and we'll update the speaker's list. Thank you.

F

D

Morning you hear me: okay, yeah. Yes, you know just.

A

To clarify before you begin, I see that there's a number of you would you like five minutes, each or five minutes all together together, all together? Okay, the clock is, on your left hand, side I will restart it for you go ahead morning.

P

Madam chair and members of the Toronto East Shore community council, my name is Kathy Carnevale and we're here this morning to represent the bay Clover Hill Community Association, and we just like to say that we strongly support the opinions and findings of the downtown Toronto.

D

Planning Department, as expressed in the refusal report.

E

I'm Marilyn Tate McClellan, also of the babe Clover Hill Community Association. We strongly support the refusal report has put forward by the planning department. We do feel this site development site is totally unsuitable for the size of this development. It does not meet the city's rules, including tower separation, setbacks, step back set cetera. It also will put additional shadow on barber, Hall, Park and James canning park as well. Currently, in our area, we have an additional four towers under construction and we feel the additional density is just far too great for this small community.

E

Thank you very much. I. Have my colleagues also backing us up from Bay Clover Hill, and actually these Reds are residents in the building jacent to the development site.

A

Thank you very much. Are there members so with questions for the speakers seeing none? Thank you. I know that we have somebody else. Who's indicated I'm gonna call your names, sir, can I, please call a whole spec, Sen ASEAN, two to the front of the room and I will start your clock. Thank you.

H

Good morning, thank you for being here. I saw the rejection report and Tans mentioned nothing about the traffic study in that region. Due to this development, therefore, I was wondering if the council or the city has done any traffic study because of this development, and if we can have an access to this study, since it's not it's only a lane of six meters wide where they were glad to put the entrance to the building for 64 floors with four other bicycles. There is no bicycle lane and there's no sidewalk.

H

Also, therefore, my request is that if the car there was nothing mentioned about the traffic studies, there should be a traffic study added to the rejection.

A

Thank you very much for your remarks. I'm assuming. That concludes your remarks. Yes, okay, thank you. Thank you. Are there any questions for the speaker seeing none. Thank you very much. Is there anyone else here who would like to speak to this matter?

A

Okay, seeing none! Thank you. We're just gonna bring this into Community Council, any members with questions of staff. I just have a quick question. I'm gonna just said. By way of courtesy for the gentleman who last spoke, he was asking about the traffic report and indicating whether or not staff reflected some traffic studies in consideration before writing. The final report.

D

You, madam chair, there was a traffic study submitted and we're certainly happy to provide a link to that study for the the gentleman who asked we had not received final comments from transportation services on the traffic study. However, the project is not supportable on planning terms and therefore you know, regardless of the traffic study, it is still not supportable as a development. Okay,.

A

Thank you very much. Thank you. Anyone else who would like to ask questions and stuff okay, seeing none anyone to speak I'll, take a stab at it as a local councillor, I'd like to move the recommendations in the staff report and strongly support those recommendations. I recognize that the the staff had already provided some some very clear advice to the applicant, even before the them submitting the application, providing some advice that it was not necessarily a suitable site for this much density, the impact to the Heritage to South Tower separations.

A

So there should be no surprise to the applicant when the report came back in the fashion that that it did I want to thank the community members for, for being so engaged and responsive to the process. We've received a large number of your correspondence. I see this many employers, but I think that planning staff heard very loudly and clearly that you supported their their recommendations and how they review the application and I I'm thankful for you and your participation and then thank you to staff for the the application review.

A

I know that this came in fairly quickly, but I think you also responded very quickly lots of development on Yonge Street. Some of it has been approved by planning staff, some of it also supported by the local community. This is not one of those applications. Thank you very much, all those in favor of the staff recommendations any opposed that carries. Thank you.

A

We're on te 30 point one: zero, nine, nine, five, two one: zero, zero, five, broad view Avenue and two to four Mortimer Avenue official plan amendment and zoning amendment applications. This is a refusal report. There are a number of speakers. I would like to call very. Our first speaker is John Blackburn.

A

John welcome good morning, good morning. The microphone is directly in front of you. If you hit the button, the light will go on your speak. Your microphone is then on and you'll have five minutes. The clock is on your left. You can keep track there so.

O

What it read I can be heard: yeah.

A

You can go ahead as long as the light is on. Thank.

O

You, my name, is John Blackburn I live on browning Avenue I've been a resident of that neighborhood for the last 35 years. I'm very, very supportive of the avenue idea and I actually went to the very first meeting when this was presented to the neighborhood, and it was very well received. I. Think most of us were very pleased to hear that at last the Avenue or Broadview Avenue, as it's known as us, is going to have a facelift and to reflect the quality of the neighborhood and the neighbors I.

O

Think one of the biggest concerns that came out of that meeting from the floor was how high will buildings be allowed to go. Give him the fact that there are already 20 story plus buildings along the Avenue, the Avenue. At that stage it's ended basically to pottery road and then later was sent home to extended more to a corner.

O

We were told at that time by the Planning Department that a reasonable height from the buildings would be in the 10 to 12 story height and given the other buildings there worried you double that that seemed for pretty reasonable compromise, especially when the province has a guideline saying that anything, that's within a 10-minute walk or a five minute. Bus ride to the subway was to be intensified to justify the fact that he would not need a car to commute.

O

The third reason that we were very happy as well was that anything that got built there would have to satisfy the planning department for shadowing and parking and I want to say that we thoroughly I and my neighbors thoroughly support the current proposal. If you look at the book plans, as I have done, you will see that it's not a straight forward tower straight up and down on the property line. The architects have been very, very diligent in stepping it back.

O

The developer, in fact, has purchased a couple of the neighboring houses in order to give a gap, so even from the ground floor, it's well step back from the bordering of the property line and as it moves up in height, and it's only going to ten floors, it steps back all the way. And if you go to the top floor, the distance from the building to the neighbors is about the same as having four or five houses built.

O

So I have a big problem when I'm shocked to see that the Planning Department in their wisdom, suddenly decided five floors. Having told me personally that it would be only ten to 12. Thank you very much.

A

Thank you, sir. Are there any questions or the speaker with our gratitude? Our next speaker I'd like to call Ross Walker. Okay, welcome and again the clock is on your left. You'll have five minutes when you're ready.

B

I'm Ross Walker I live on hillside Drive hillside is one Street, north amour de Mer west off a broad view very close to the intersection of what's the Whistler site is located.

B

Like many of my neighbors I was sad to learn that whistlers, our local pub was closing to be replaced by a condominium building, but at the same time, I recognize that increasing growth and intensification it's coming to our city and to Broadview Avenue in particular, but obviously that control that that growth has to be controlled and that intensification cannot be unlimited as I'm sure you all know the city enacted, site and area specific policy 509 and 216.

B

That was based on a study conducted by City Planning staff and other city departments and with a great deal of input from residents. Out of that also grew the broad view. Avenue urban design guidelines, policy, 509 and these guidelines established the long broad view five different character areas each because, with its own needs its own attributes and its own appropriateness for intensification.

B

They located the Whistler site in character, area B and provided for modest, modest intensification.

B

It limited the height of buildings in character, area B to 17 meters or 5 storeys five stories, page 38 of those guidelines, said the following: I'd like to read it due to the predominantly residential character of this section of Broadview, a more modest and sensitive mid-rise building is recommended and I respectfully submit that it would be bad urban planning for the city to establish a 5-story limit in its policy in 2:16 and then an 2:18 allow double that size, 10 storeys, a hundred and eleven units.

B

The building would be far too massive for the site that we're looking at I also suggest that council should consider this application in the context of all the other applications and intensification that are on or coming to Broadview Avenue. It shouldn't be considered in isolation by building twice the height permitted by policy 509, the building would have twice the number of units twice: the number of people twice the amount of traffic twice the demand on the TTC, which is already overloaded on Broadview Avenue during rush hours and twice the demands of the community services.

B

This would be unacceptable, so I urge council to adopt its staff report recommendation and I urge council to deny the application. Thank you.

A

Thank you very much. If I can ask members of the public to refrain from clapping I'd like to and I, don't believe there are any questions for the other speaker. Ok, so then I'd like to invite Magda West Lowe Casca to the front of the room and I'm sorry, if I mispronounced your last name.

A

N

Starting them early how to build the city where you can play play and play so good morning, and thank you mr. chair members of Community Council I'm Magda Volkov. Second, president of holywell place residents association. Our area encompasses broad V Avenue on both sides from Pretoria to Mortimer, harder, erode the South Side and including any lung, a pocket depth on Yolanda's, founded by Jackman Avenue on the east and Fulton Avenue and I'm.

N

Here today, to request that you support planning, staffs recommendation to refuse the official plan amendment and zoning amendment applications for this for the sites. They would amend the official plan to redesign 8 to 2 for Mortimer Avenue from neighborhoods to mixed use, areas and Amanda zoning bylaw to permit this 10-story makes this building in an area which recently was subject of the Broadway Avenue planning, study and community consultations because alluded to and in which many of our members and residents participated in and in fact, I stood here or sat here.

N

Nearly two years ago before you urging you to adopt the Broadway Avenue planning study of case before 3 and the Broadway Avenue urban design guidelines. Now the result of this planning study was ok 343, which was adopted by this council in 2016, and it really does help to define a human scale and livable planning vision for our area and sets out the parameters for future development, which is responsible and sensitive to the local context and I. Think that's what's important is about the local context. That's here.

N

People who come to our area want to stay and people who have lived in the area for many decades don't want to leave, because this area has this human scale to it. The proposed 10th story development as far as height and massing, is double the height of what came out of the Broadway Avenue planning study and the resulting RP. A 3/4 3/4, which the maximum building height is a 5 stories for this particular character, area, character, area B. It also does not meet the appropriate step backs and angular planes for new developments in this area.

N

If you have looked at the architectural plans for this, the proposed 10th story development represents an inappropriate scale of development for the surrounding area and does not appropriately transition to the adjacent properties, especially on Mortimer, which is low-rise and designated as neighborhoods in the Official Plan. The proposed sensory development would also absorb and use to neighborhoods designated properties to designate them as an excuse.

N

Now this goes against the policy objectives of the avenues of also P 343 and the general intent of the Official Plan, which is to stabilize low-rise neighborhoods and to respect or reinforce the built form character of nearby neighborhoods and, in fact, to form Mortimer should remain designated as neighborhoods and any future development on this side should meet the Official Plan Policy and further, due to its an appropriate proposed scale, height massing, step, backs and angular planes.

N

This proposed 10th story development would create other planning issues so, for example, increased traffic at an already very busy and narrow intersection at Broadview and pottery Road, also, including resulting traffic backups. A decrease in available on street parking increase in shadow impacts on Broadview and the neighboring properties, and also it would not protect the viewpoints of the Don Valley, which is one of our treasured natural resources in this area and makes the particular local neighborhood quite unique in that way.

N

From the vantage point of approaching from Mortimer, and this was identified through the broad view of new planning study, as well as in the Broadway Avenue urban design guidelines. Now we as an association and, of course, as many residents who have participated in the Broadway Avenue planning study in not only in our association but throughout the community, obviously recognize the need for densification. That's why we welcome to study.

N

That's why we were so happy about what came out of it and we welcome responsible and sensitive development, our area, and so we will continue to support the vision of OPA 343 and the Broadway Avenue planning study, which led up to it with us urge you to support planning steps refusal of this application. Thank you for your consideration.

A

And thank you very much for your remarks. Are there any questions for the speaker, okay, seeing none? Thank you I'd like to call Helen Champaign, who was our next registered speaker to the front of the room.

A

D

Welcome, thank you. My name is Tom champagne. I've lived in historic. My entire life within a five-mile radius I've recently been to a planning session for this particular development and was actually very excited about it. So mr. Kaveri has been involved in several boutique condominium projects. All of top-quality I'm excited for this particular development to go through as a resident of East. York I want to stay in the city in this part of the city and in later life who want to live in a condominium.

D

So I, hopefully respectfully ask that this development go through as I am very interested in in this particular condominium site and.

A

Thank you very much for your remarks. Are there any questions of the speaker? Thank you. Our next speaker is David fresh David. Are you here? Okay, wonderful, welcome to the front of the room and when the microphone is lit, the button is pressed you're, you're, ready to go off and I'll reset your clock. You've got five minutes.

M

Yeah about that one, if.

A

The light is on then oh.

M

What's on, as I was saying, my name is David Fresh I'm, a resident of the neighborhood I live on neon Avenue, which is one block south of Mortimer and runs east off broad view from my window. I can I can see the Mentos sky and they can see my window too I'm pretty sure. If anybody wanted to I know, you appreciate brevity because it's the soul of wit, so I'm just gonna, try to keep this brief.

M

I have two main points in my opposition to the the approval of the tube buildings under under discussion here, they're about precedents and about cynicism. The first point is that the setting of precedents looks both backward and forward seems to me looking backward. There are people who look at the existing high-rises a long, broad view and say: well it's already there.

M

How can you say no, but I've always felt that one example at one mistake in the in the past is not a good justification for a mistake in the future for doing more of the same, if that was the case, we keep polluting the dawn instead of turning it around into a river. Now, that's where you can see salmon spawning again, leapin the the breaks so I guess.

M

My point is that that the presence of 20 story buildings on long broad view is not a reason to to violate the the spirit and the the findings of the broad view, Avenue planning study. My other point is about cynicism that the broad view Avenue planning study, was conducted over a over two years.

M

The city councilor and the city staff did a great job of holding numerous meetings and getting public engagement involved, getting people's commitment involved and they came to you know through a pretty fair process for among what I understand to some serious recommendations based on things like the grid and what kind of community we wanted, and things like that.

M

If you approve, if you approve these exceptions, the first out of the gate, you're, encouraging people to stay home and and watch video games or reorganize their sock drawers or do anything other than come out to a sweaty public hall and sit down at a table with a bunch of other people and try to come to terms or you know, come to words.

M

For what kind of community they want, I somebody said: you're an engaged citizen, I joined neighborhood associations like lol place residents, Association and I go and knock on doors and ask people to come out to meetings. It's really hard when to overcome that sense of cynicism of yeah. Why should I bother there? No they're just gonna overrule it anyway, and and then that's a hard argument to overcome.

M

So all this by way of saying that I hope you'll support the findings of the broad you have a new planning study, because I think it's a well thought out fairly reached proposal for how our neighborhood should proceed. Thank you and.

A

Thank you for your comments. Thank.

M

A

You want to show appreciation, you can do the jazz hands. You won't be able to see it until you turn around, but they are jack.

M

Ball change kick ball, trade are.

A

There members with questions for the speaker, okay, thank you very much dude. Our next speaker is Barbara Corwin.

A

Yes, please have a seat. If the light is on, then your microphone is on and I will start your clock at zero and when you're ready, you've got five minutes. Okay, thank you. Good.

D

Morning my name is Barbara. Corwin I lived right across the road on Mortimer Avenue from Whistler's I will be, and my neighbors directly impacted by the proposal. The condominium. It is much too high too many people. It will be horrible with the traffic the additional vehicles on Mortimer. It's a two-way Road. Only we have already the morning robust. We have the ambulances, the fire department, trucks, the pickup from the blue bin, the green bin. It is very, very congested as it already is. In addition, the impact of the noise, the impact of the air quality.

D

All these things will affect the people on Mortimer Avenue, not on browning, but not that much money on either but directly unmoor de mer, so I'm asking that these staff recommendation go through and Mary. Thank you for your help. That's it.

A

Barbara, thank you very much for your comments. I, don't believe there are any questions for you, any other members of the public here to speak to this matter. Seeing none, then we're gonna bring this into community council. Oh sorry, okay, that's! Okay! We welcome you to the front of the room. We're gonna make sure you check into the clerk afterwards, so we can have it on the.

M

A

And you have five minutes go ahead. Please thank.

G

You guys my name is Brent buff and I'm. A member of the community I'm in support of the proposed condominiums at Whistler's I live at 12 Bader Avenue, a lot of what I'm gonna say. Right now was said at the community meeting with George and Mary. I was one of very few people at that meeting.

G

That was a renter in the community I'm in a position where I'm looking to be a part of this community and we're at a we're at a point where it is spiraled into such a great community, where we have a housing crisis where supply and demand is very minimum. So I do hear what everybody says in my community regarding their concerns. Some of them I wasn't a part of the study.

G

However, I can tell you I've rented in this community for three years only because there is absolutely no opportunity for me to have homeownership in the community.

G

To start a family, I would love to be in the position that the people behind me are, however, that opportunities not available that sight when I look at it is a very unique sight and a very great opportunity for that community to take advantage of I do agree that staring across the road at a twenty two storey building is not grounds for just saying: let's go ahead and do something but I, don't think a lot of the community looked deeper into this project in terms of how unique of an opportunity is for people like me, I did take I'm, assuming everyone on this side is getting paid to be here.

G

I did take a great deal of effort to get here today. I'm not paid to be here. I, don't speak on behalf of everybody in my position, but I do imagine. If there were other people that could be here to speak, they would resonate the same thing. We do want to be a part of this community. There is no opportunity to have homeownership to start a family to get 3035 years, like the people behind me in at this community to raise our kids and experience all the benefits of this community.

G

So I would like everybody in the room to sort of have an empathetic view where, when we were at the community hall, everybody was just firing mud at the developers, and it was a very hostile situation and we were allowed one question for the developers. I chose to ask my community that question and where I asked how many people were actually renting in our community, there were only three people that raised their hand so where I do understand that there has to be a compromise.

G

I think when I look across the road at a 22 story, building 10 10 stories up at a very unique site is a very great opportunity for our community and especially for young people, to start a family and be 30 years deep and come to these meetings and express their feelings.

G

So I just want to wrap that up and say that I fully support the site and where that was going and I hope, everybody can understand that we do have a housing crisis in all communities in Toronto, and these are the opportunities we can take to sort of establish newer grounds for future families. Like myself. Thank you. Thank you. Thank.

A

You very much for your comments. Are there any questions for the speaker? Okay, seeing none are there any other members of the public here to speak to this matter? I will bring this into community council. Any members who have questions of staff, seeing none members to speak councillor Francesca's so.

I

I have a if you could put that on the screen, and it's essentially that City Council authorized the city solicitor together with City Planning and other appropriate staff to appear before the Ontario Municipal or the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal, in support of City Council's decision to refuse the application in the event that the application is appealed.

I

So this is to delete recommendation 2 and replace it with this, because the complete application of January 5th and the uncertainty of the transition provisions for related applications under bill 139 recommend that we do this so I'm also going to be moving the recommendation, one that staff put forward, and so I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's here today, who's come out to depute, also to about two hundred and fifty people who came out to the community consultation on these applications in January.

I

So our staff in the planning department have reviewed this application and and had the meeting in January and in so doing, they've actually reached some conclusions that I support and planning knows full well that I don't always support them. So and we've come a long way in these eight years. So as noted, the application is not in keeping with the Official Plan amendment for Broadview, which was the result of three years of consultation with the community. And, of course, this council and the Community Council.

I

The City Council passed that OPA in the summer of 2016, so you'll recall- or maybe you don't, but perhaps you do in the previous term of council when I had requested. The Planning study for Broadview Avenue I had pointed out some of the peculiarities of Broadview Avenue and it is an area with a ravine along the west and the northern boundaries, and it's actually disconnected somewhat from the cities larger Road grid.

I

So if you head south or west, or only a couple of ways out of the the neighbourhood and a pottery road would be one of them and the other would be Danforth and Broadview and if you've been to broad you and down forth lately, that intersection is rather bottleneck to given the success of, in particular the King Street pilot.

I

So there is a subway station there, as you know, but you may have noticed in a recent reports to the TTC that that station is noted as one with capacity issues so and if you've been there at the morning rush hour, you've probably had the opportunity to watch several trains. Leave you behind on platform, so those issues and others are why I believe the Planning Department and the community came up with the right plan for the intensification of Broadview in 2016. So there were a few voices at the public meeting in support of this proposal.

I

There have been some here today as well. The applicant is shared with us. Some form letters also to show that there is support and I, certainly respect that, in particular, I heard the support for the proposal from real estate agents and young potential homeowners at this public meeting in January, and they have a right to want more housing. That is what intensification means but they're, looking at that site, nice isolation and not considering the large amount of intensification that the broader you have a new plan is providing in its totality the broad view.

I

Avenue plan is designed to bring more housing to the neighborhood in a manner that actually enriches the neighborhood. So I should also point out that at the public meeting one resident spoke out. Actually the first person at the qat spoke out how he felt the applicants representatives who came to his door had misled him on the proposal. Somehow some residents seem to think that if they don't support this project, nothing will be built. I am very doubtful of that. Some have even spoken to me about affordability.

I

I just want to remind everybody here that this is not an affordable housing project. This community council has actually already approved a development proposal on Broadview recently, in keeping with the broad view have in your planning study, it's called 7 9 6 to 802 Broadview Avenue, and it's directly across the street from Broadview station.

I

It is a six story, building that falls directly within the guidelines and the OPA as well, though some have taken the broad view: Avenue OPA to the Ontario Municipal Board, the owners of two of the largest sites on broad view with development potential did not. So we have had a very lengthy planning study, guided by professional staff and by far most in the community point to that as their vision for broad view.

I

So I am confident that Planning has gotten this right with the broad view, Avenue official plan amendment and with their assessment of this application.

A

Thank you very much councillor for your remarks. Are there anyone? Anyone who is interested in the I was whose interest in speaking sorry, okay seeing none? Then we have the recommendations before us. Actually, first, we have an amendment all those in favor of the amendment any opposed. Okay and that item as amended any opposed that carries. Thank you very much.

A

Moving along te, 30 point, 11, 11, 32 bra view, Avenue official plan amendment application refusal report we do have registered speakers I- would encourage those who are interested in speaking to this item. Just to let the clerk's know, and then I will have this an updated speakers list. So I can call your name the first name, I'm gonna call now is our no freshy or no welcome.

P

A

So I'm just gonna start your clock, and that means that our kno will speak in as a third person great after Sheila Murray tester.

P

She, okay, thank you, so my name is Wendy Nelson I live at 57, hillside drive and I've resided there for over 25 years, and we had the good fortune to be neighbors to Charles Oriole before his death on hillside Drive and from mr. Sarles many stories.

P

We've come to appreciate the history in this part of the city and the importance of preserving the character of our street hillside Drive and our community is an important part of the City of Toronto I'm, going to briefly, very briefly, set out the context of our neighborhood before my other neighbors and residents speak so broad view. Avenue north of hillside is primarily detached semi-detached houses. There are a few low-rise apartment buildings. It is a hugely busy transport, four-lane transportation corridor.

P

Five bus routes go down this and it's a busy car transportation route, hillside Drive, just one block west, it runs along the Don Valley ravine system is green and lush and it's all homes. It is closed to traffic. There's a city park hat in the middle, so it's only local traffic that goes in there and while bribe View Avenue is the car in bus corridor. Hillside Drive is the people's corridor and so outside my door.

P

Hundreds of walkers and bikers of all walks of life use hillside Drive as a major walking corridor and in fact, we're working with the city on a hillside, greening project to enhance the street and to hopefully get it recognized as a shared street for walkers and bikes ride view village is a low-rise residential for 72 adults with developmental disabilities right now on their Western property line, it spans hillside, Drive from 15 to 57, hillside Drive.

P

So with that description of that part of broad view and hillside Drive, you can imagine our surprise when, in late November we heard that the Salvation Army had made an application to build an 11-story high-rise, 223 unit condominium project sitting squarely in the middle of a residential neighborhood, a bit of an aside from Salvation Army. Unfortunately, as neighbors longtime neighbors, we've had no communication, no information other than the city consultation project and so we're very disappointed in the process that was undertaken in our community.

P

So it's a longtime resident of hillside Drive in the City of Toronto. We find the development proposed by the Salvation Army, unacceptable and grossly out of character with the neighborhood that is so important within our city and today, I wish to make my own concerns known, as well as the concerns in opposition of over 80 neighbors and community residents known to council. So on behalf of community residents, a number of whom you will hear speaking this morning.

P

I wish to table a petition containing over 80 residents, signa signatures as a tangible sign of our opposition to the proposed development at 11:32, Broadview Avenue, as outlined in the application by the Salvation Army I, knocked on a lot of doors. I can tell you it was 99% of residents opposed and I just ran out of time. I'm sure I could get a lot more signatures.

P

As our petition states and you'll hear this morning, the development, the height size and density of which dramatically exceeds current guidelines is of grave concern to residents of our neighborhood and our concerns fall into four buckets you'll hear about these this morning. First, the proposed development is grossly out of scale with the neighborhood designation and devised the spirit and intent of the city's official plan and the broad view Avenue urban design guidelines. Second, there's been adequate, inadequate recognition of the impact on infrastructure, traffic and public transportation systems.

P

Third, the development threatens the neighborhood's unique character and will jeopardize a natural environment around the Don Valley ravine system, which we are all committed to preserving and last. The development of this magnitude within a residential neighborhood will diminish the overall quality of life for the neighborhood residents, you'll hear about privacy, protection of green space, etc.

P

The concerns about the proposed development, along with the petition, have been detailed in a number of letters as well. So as residents, we do feel the Broadview Avenue planning study outlines a more thoughtful and balanced approach for development of this property. In fact, council should be applauded for initiating and approving this study, so I, along with the 80 residents who have signed this petition, wish to urge the city to vigorously oppose the application and also to vigorously oppose the application, as it goes forward to the OMB.

P

Thank you, Mary and all of council members for listening to our concerns today and for your hard work on behalf of the city in our neighborhood. Thank you thank.

A

You very much are there members with questions for the speaker? Thank you very much. Our next speaker is Sheila Murray Hitoshi.

A

Welcome hello, I will start your clock when you're ready you five minutes. I'm.

F

Wondering is there any way I could put this photograph.

A

Yes, you can do that just place the photo facing yourself as you would be looking at it, and then our tech will make adjustments I.

F

First want to thank councilor, Fraga Dacus for her comments earlier I know they apply to both development proposals in the area and I also want to thank George, Penn taxes and Kyle Konak City Planning for their work on this on these issues and for issuing the refusal report, I think that Wendy's covered off a lot of issues that I would I would hesitate to repeat now, but I think that it would be useful just to have a look at Hillside Drive. Thank you.

F

Hillside Drive is a shared Street and we're currently in the process of a greening project to improve on it, and it's really like this for everyone in the neighborhood, as Wendy Nelson said it's a pedestrian corridor as opposed to a vehicle or corridor dog walkers cyclists, young families with children- and we want to improve upon that in this. In these pictures here, you can get a feel for the greening of the area and on the side is where the ravine is on the sides of these pictures.

F

The ravine comes in behind that the proposed development project is actually between Broadview Avenue and the ravine, and just to give you an idea.

F

This is where the development project at 11:32, broad view is proposed, and this sort of a curved line here represents Hills, drive and I. Think that you can tell like very easily from this diagram how significant the neighborhood environment is around.

F

This proposed development and I really feel that the destruction of the neighborhood would be tragic for the whole area and I do feel the size and intensity of the 1132 Broadview proposed development would be tragic for the area, so in closing, I would just like to say that I will be attending the OMB hearing as well and I as a participant and I would very much like to ask the city to vigorously oppose the OMB appeal that is coming up in April. Thank you very much. Thank.

A

You very much for your remarks. Are there any members with questions for the speaker? Thank you, I'd like to call our no freshy Franchi. Thank you. Oh Frankie, it's okay, I'm, not sure. If it's the way it's spelt on my sheet or just the but I might with my apologies, I think you'll have five minutes go ahead. Please a.

J

Few points that I can see personally well I have a great team behind me with every reason why this building should not be built. This condo is the wrong condo in the wrong place. It's a condo that should be somewhere in the financial district or the entertainment district, it's 11 floors, half of which are one bedroom condos that are 400 square feet. Actually I think I saw one for 300 square feet, so kind of a few points.

J

I'm going to jump around I, really don't have anything written down other than the fact I want to answer or question. One of the fellow that came up here about starting a family I was able to interview or speak to the principal of Chester, which is a public school bus behind us and found out that their enrollment is at 60 percent. Lots of room to grow you're not going to grow children in a 400 square. Foot, condo you're not going to do that. Half of this condo are is less than 400 or 500 square feet.

J

I I'd like to question how you started a family with a 500 square foot condo. This is the wrong building it, the wrong location. We don't have any problems with intensification and getting beautiful places at 3 or 4 stories that will do the same thing. Second of all, I live at 11:41 Broadview directly in front of this proposed building. I work out of my office, my it's on the second floor. Looking at broad view, I can tell you that if any artery south of me ever closes there's a gigantic lineup of vehicles.

J

I've watched one vehicle move five feet in ten minutes or ten feet in five minutes. It doesn't really matter is the point. It goes very very slowly, and what do you see? What do you think happens after that? Well, you get people that are frustrated, so what do they do? They cut up the other opposite way: cut on Gowan cut on bader cut on whatever and go through a children's or a schooling zone, they're frustrated and now it the children are in peril. So and that's firsthand I can see that I didn't bring any video.

J

Unfortunately, I didn't know you can do that. But yes, so that's another reason that this is the wrong condo I liked, also to read about what's going on with condos and the quality of life and sense of ownership and what happens with the implications of condominium condominium neighborhoods for long term urban River, revitalization, they've done a lot of studies, and it's right here. I've looked it up and condos in these areas, not today, maybe not in three years: five 10 15 years from now, condos like this are a hindrance.

J

The neighborhood's you get 223 units or whatever it is you get 223 owners what's going to happen, is ten years from now they're not going to care anymore and the the condo goes down. The prices go down, everything goes down and we're gonna and we're gonna get help for that. So I heard you don't look at today. Look at 10 years from now, 20 years from now, when that gentleman has kids what happens to the neighborhood, this is the wrong building in the wrong area. Thank you for listening. Thank.

A

You very much for your comments. Are there any questions? uh Actually, sir, are no, please don't go away. You've got one question, so please take a seat. Councillor McMahon go ahead. Please.

K

Hi there thank you, I just wanted to ask you: were you aware that people well, they have the right to choose wherever they wish to live to raise their family. Regardless of you know what what we're used to or what communities are used to. People can choose to live anywhere to raise their family I.

J

Agree with that, however, if you're a family you're not going to be able to raise a family in a 400 square foot unit is the point I'm making. So if you've got 220 units, half of them are less than 500 square feet. You could do the same thing with cutting that building in half and still getting what you want.

K

Do you think it's up to us to decide where people raise their families.

J

To a certain um no, however, I am not quite sure it's fine for the family at running a 400 square foot, but.

K

If it's their choice, isn't up to them or is it up to us I.

J

Guess at the end, it's up to them. Thank.

K

A

Thank you very much. Councillor Laden actually are no Arnold, don't go ahead. There are a few more questions for you. Little jazz hands.

J

I

J

G

You just be very brief, because you talked about condominiums, then, and residents and condominiums becoming a hindrance on the neighborhood I wondering if you have any examples of where I'm.

J

Sorry, what did I say in hindrance, I didn't I, don't recall that for say me. You.

G

Said it you said they were becoming a hindrance on on neighborhoods and I'm. Just wondering do you have any examples, because in my experience and in fact, as people live there longer, they become more connected to their neighborhoods and less of a there's less of a disconnect. So I urge.

J

You to take a look at this plan and and see that I I'm not making this up I could see it. But where are there any examples of where.

G

J

Now, where I'm down at the financial area, there's sure there's the crime desk on bikes are stolen, but what I'm saying is: when are the neighbors, stealing the bikes? No, you get people coming into it. People then.

G

How are those neighbors becoming a hindrance to their neighborhood over time? You said over time, ten years down the road mm-hmm, they become a hindrance and I don't take issue with any.

J

Violence within themselves, because what happens now it half that half of these units aren't owned or owned by people that don't even go to the meetings. So what I'm saying is this study shows do I have an examples. No thank you. Okay, any.

A

Other speaker, edit, no I, think yes go ahead. Okay, so Jane Madsen, followed by Ingrid Peters Jane. Welcome. Thank you five minutes. Then their clock is on your left hand, you can keep track there. Twenty.

L

Years ago, I was lucky enough to find a home on hillside Drive, my family moved onto the street. We carefully considered our house, the street, the neighbors, the neighborhood, and we chose to live there. We have paid our taxes and supported the community, supported those Salvation Army site and we have been a part of this community and we want to stay a part of this community.

L

We have people on our street that have been in their homes for over 50 years, I myself, we've been 20 people own multiple houses on the street. They like it so much. We have families that have raised their children and then their children have bought houses on the street. So we do have a real community and the street that we want to protect, and it's really really important to us. I completely understand the challenges of the market.

L

Today, but 25 years ago, when I started to look for a house, my husband and I were dealing with mortgage rates that were 11 and 12 percent. I, totally understand that you know there are very similar.

L

You know difficulties that young families are faced with, but you know we all have to go through it in different ways and I agree that not everyone can jump right in, but it's tough I just don't feel that it's right to think that it's fair to change the landscape of our environment, our community, without really consulting us I, walk my dog on that street.

L

You saw pictures that Sheila shared I walk as far as Pape Avenue I go down to Riverdale I, go into the ravine and I see my community and I like being a part of this community and if you put in a condominium or an apartment, building, that's 11 stories there, another 16 or whatever it is for the whistler site. That's gonna have a huge impact on our environment.

L

I, like seeing deer I've, seen deer on my street I've seen foxes I've seen Hawks I like seeing all of these animals we're so on the ravine that if we have all of these other people in cars and traffic and I, can only imagine that my street will become a parking lot for these apartment. Buildings. I have real concern about that and I don't want to see that changed.

L

I completely support the broad view, intensification plan and the whole process that you went through and Mary you've been really helpful and I don't want to see this big monster of a building go through. Thank you.

I

Thanks Jane any questions. Thank you. Next up is Ingrid Peters I.

I

Think you know the drill. You got five minutes five minutes. My.

D

Name is Ingrid Peters, I'm, an area resident and I'm here simply to voice my support for the City Planning Division recommendation in its in in its report to refuse the Official Plan amendment. In order for the applicant to succeed, it would have to demonstrate that its proposed development is both compatible with the physical context and does not affect nearby neighbors I. Think for all the reasons that Mary had expressed most capably earlier on, together with what we've heard today, this is a very large development in an area of primarily smaller two-story residences.

D

The, although I assume that the applicant will allege that the proposal promotes the provincial policy statement of intensification, it's very important that its cities and that are to direct and allocate those intensification efforts. The city efforts to direct those those elements of intensification were undertaken in a pretty extensive and inclusive public engagement process which which concluded in June of 2016. The applicant had full access to this process and, in the end, the process resulted in the area of this proposed development being in character, area II.

D

Among other things, the applicable policies require that new development in this area not only respect but also reinforce the existing physical characteristics of the neighbourhood. With the height and the density of this particular proposal, it fails to do that. I think that it is important for the council to support the refusal of this application, and it would send a discouraging message about the about the worth of the city's planning and consultation processes if it was to be supported at this stage, Thank You.

A

Ingrid, thank you very much. Are there any members of questions for the speakers seeing none? Our next speaker is Magda Wessel Houska, welcome back Magda you and you and Alexandra have an extremely wonderful baby.

A

Okay, when you're ready five minutes again right good morning again,.

N

So, thank you mr. chair and members of Community Council again, maybe for those who didn't weren't present on Magda, so Casca, president of had about place residents, association and, of course, I'm here to request respectfully that you support planning, stuffs recommendation to refuse the Official Plan amendment application for 1132, broadly Avenue.

N

That would amend the official plan to reduce ignite the subject plants to from neighborhoods to mixed use areas and to permit an 11-story residential building in an area which recently was subject to the Broadway Avenue planning, study and extensive community consultations and I can't say it enough. The result. The result of this Planck study with OPI 343, which was adopted by council in 2016.

N

It really helped to define his human scale and livable planning vision for our area, which is sensitive and to the local context in terms of this development for 11 stories as far as height and massing, so the proposed 11 story and also hypothetical building. Since this is an official plan. Amendment for this photos lens goes directly against the broad way up.

N

The new planning study, the resulting of PA 343 and the Broadway Avenue urban design guidelines, since it would be a tall building in an area that's designated as neighborhoods, and not targeted for growth, which, again through the broad view of new planning study planning stuff, did their due diligence to recognize that the proposed amendment represents the development which is not compatible with the surrounding physical context, and it is inappropriate in scale, and it would certainly adversely affect the nearby low-rise houses designated as neighborhoods as many of the residents from hillside have indicated.

N

This proposed 11-story building is out of scale, it's not and also it does not adequately transition to the coach house. The coach house is a heritage building, that's on site and further there's other four other on-site buildings which have been identified in the Bratva of new design, urban design guidelines as having heritage potential, and we think they should be considered for conservation.

N

So we agree with planning staff that the product property in fact should remain neighborhoods and that in terms of its designation and that any future development on this site should meet the Official Plan Policy and we think there are, as planning staff has indicated in the report. There are other ways that this property can be developed sensitively.

N

We do as an association and many members here have, and also residents from the area have spoken. We recognize this need for densification in the area. We hear also the need for market housing, but also a lot of this new development. Of course, it certainly does not as Mary our counsel has indicated, does not provide for affordable housing, so just something to think about. So we do welcome responsible and sensitive development, and we will continue to support the vision of OPA 343 and abroad via a new planning study which led up to it.

N

So we those urge you to support planning service refusal of this application. Thank you for your consideration. Thank.

A

You very much are there any members with questions for the speaker seeing none. Thank you, I'd like to call our next speaker, Megan luden,.

A

Welcome Megan, you.

D

A

D

You I just like to thank council for taking this time and hearing our concerns as a community. Secondly, I'd like to thank Mary and their hard work and their amazing advocacy on our behalf. During the broad view, Avenue planning study I wholeheartedly support the city's plan to maintain the character of our neighborhood by limiting the builds new, any new bills to 8.5 meters or two to three stories there. A number of reasons for this currently in the traffic situation on broad view is tenuously bearable at best.

D

If there is a problem on DBP, Bayview extension or even on Pape review is a disaster. Secondly, the side Drive has a unique park-like aspect that allows so many of the people in our neighborhood to enjoy our street. It is a street that we are proud of and that we love to share with our community and our neighbors if we were to allow an 11-story building to be built next door, that park-like setting of our street would invariably change I'm concerned also about current resources.

D

Even when the Minto build was going, the TDSB had posted that they could not guarantee placement for those kids in at local schools. So we're gonna, add another 233 units, don't know how that's gonna happen. Daycare availability within this within our community is at an all-time low and, as Mary so adequately pointed out, I think that it is very important to note that we are not talking about affordable family housing. Here these three-bedroom units going into these going into this building, are going to be subsidized.

D

We're not talking about five hundred thousand dollars for a unit to raise a family. This is going. These are going to be expensive high-end units and yes, I can say that because I'm, a real estate, agent and I trade in this area.

D

In conclusion, I would like to say that I fully support counsel and there and the refusal of the application main by the Salvation Army for an 11-story 233 unit residents at 11:32, Broadview, Avenue and I would like to further encourage council to direct city staff on our behalf to vigorously oppose the Salvation Army's appeal. I wanna be thank you for your time and consideration. Thank.

A

You very much are there any members with questions of the speaker, okay, seeing none I'd like to call Chantal la can welcome. Chantal. The clock is, on your left hand, side. The light should be on when the microphone is on and you can begin at any time. Okay, my.

F

Name is Chantel Lacan and I'm, currently, a resident of 1138 Broadview, just next to Salvation, Army I've lived at this residence for 28 years. Here are some of the reasons why I disagree with what is being proposed. I'm very concerned about privacy issues. It seems that the balconies of new residents will be overlooking my backyard. I am deeply concerned about the loud noise levels from residents of the building that will disrupt our quiet neighborhood, as well as garbage and cigarettes that would be thrown off the balconies that may end up in my backyard.

F

I am majorly concerned about the size and closeness of my property to the proposed new building I'm concerned about any loss of natural, sunlight and the loss of privacy. That will negatively impact my ability to enjoy my property I'm concerned about the traffic, congestion and pollution that this new building will generate.

F

We are currently at a maximum level for noise and traffic, and this will drastically change the surrounding area into a more hectic and jam-packed space, which is already of grave concern to drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and children and neighborhood already the TTC buses are overcrowded and people have to wait for the next bus. Thank you for listening.

A

Thank you very much for your remarks. Are there any questions for the speaker, okay, seeing none I'd like to call Sara, Mulholland Sara welcome and you've brought someone with you. Yes,.

D

I actually had signed up my husband and I to speak. So ok.

A

Great, if I can just ask the gentlemen afterwards to check in with the clerk, so we can have you on the public record. Are you sharing your 5 mins together? Ok, thank you. Please go ahead proceed great.

Q

Thank you we're here to support the city's plan to refuse the application of the 11 story residents condominium at 1132 Broadview. We live at 50 hillside Drive directly across from the proposed site this site. This proposed development is 37 storeys high, which is four times the allowed height for the area. If this was allowed to proceed, the development would dominate the neighborhood and fundamentally change the characteristics of the neighborhood. Our entire community is extremely concerned with the precedent of such development would set for other sites as well.

Q

While we recognize and support the need for intensification, we need intensification that aligns with the city's plans for the community and includes the required public, transit traffic and utilities and education, social and Eve recreation services.

Q

It would exacerbate already underserviced utilities, traffic and especially public transit and anyone that's taken the bus along Broadview. Avenue knows you can often wait to the three buses.

D

Additionally, the proposal would have a detrimental impact on the multi-year hillside, Drive street streetscape revitalization project. That's been underway in consultation with city staff, counselor, Mary, Fran Takas and the residents of hillside Drive. This project aims to address already problematic a storm and snowmelt runoff, which, as you can see, the letter from the weather of the last few days is a major issue.

D

It also seeks to improve pedestrian access and accessibility and, finally, to preserve and enhance the youth nice uniqueness of the street by recognizing the contributions of our past resident Charles Oriole, whose efforts to protect Toronto's ravine systems eventually led to the creation of the Toronto region, Conservation Authority. So this development is entirely contrary to that initiative. It would seek to pave over the existing sites, significant green space that is so efficacious that runoff absorption and would dramatically shot up over the mature tree canopy on hillside Drive.

D

So, in addition to encouraging your support of the city staffs recommendation to refuse this project, we also ask Council to direct city staff to oppose this vigorously at our anticipated appeal at the OMB in April. Thank.

A

You thank you very much. Are there any questions of the speakers seeing none I'd like to call David Frisch David welcome back.

A

M

A

In your clock is that thank.

M

You um I just wanted to repeat, first of all about the the same points I made about the previous agenda item about respecting the process and not contributing to voter to citizens, citizens to citizen the cynicism and I challenge you all to say that three times quickly, but I also wanted to take the opportunity to say that I was also at the meeting that the the gentleman who had to leave who spoke about the the tenor of the meeting that was held at the at the Estonian House last month.

M

By the way the the gentleman behind councillor Mavic, who moderated the meeting, deserves a great deserves your appreciation for having done a great job of moderating it and keeping it on track.

M

Yes, but he talked about the hustle, the the air hostility at that meeting and I think that was actually connects to my point about cynicism, I and some other people. I spoke to felt that we were that we were being maneuvered. We there was a gentleman who got up to speak about who launched into what was going to what I promised. He was going to be a very long and very detailed historical lesson about the history of the Salvation Army site, and that wasn't with respect that wasn't what we were there to talk about.

M

I did get a chance to ask a question of the lawyer. Who was there to represent the Salvation Army and what I said was? Can you tell us why this proposal deserves to be given an exception to the process that that was gone through, and he did two things that in hindsight, I think that was being played?

M

The first thing he said was well I've, already answered that I've already explained that no, he hadn't and then he started launched into a lecture about his right to participate in the process and and present an opposing point of view, his right to do so. It was in addition, the question was: why should we overturn this process so that may have had something to do with the kind of hostility of some people in the audience.

M

I'll just say that I also agree with the the points that have been made by a number of people about the the traffic difficulties could pawn along Broadview and the things that feed into that and so I'd like to set what I believe may be a record by quoting Pink Floyd at a meeting of this mean of this council, which is, if you've ever sat in that kind of traffic, you've thought of the song there's no way out of here when you get in you're in for good and that kind of gridlock and seem like a really long time.

M

Thank you very much. Thank.

A

You very much are there any questions for the speaker seeing none. Thank you. I'm just gonna do a final call. First public speakers. Anyone else hear from the general public to speak to this particular matter. Okay, seeing none then we'll bring that inside to community council members with questions of staff, seeing none members to speak counselor prejudice thanks.

I

Madam chair so I'll be moving the staff recommendations. I'm, not gonna, say everything that I said then my last thought for the last item, but it all applies. I just want to remind everybody here in the room and tend to the members of council. This is an official plan. Amendment application, it is not, does not have a real application before it. So it's a fake application. The unit numbers are fake, they're, it's just. They would like to be rezone for eleven stories.

I

So fake news, yes, in the spirit of all things, fake and since Trump took power in America. We now have a fake application before us, so there's not much to say, I'm disappointed that we are here in this place with this particular site, this particular property, the coach-house on it dates back to 1888. This property is of tremendous heritage value for our area. The people who lived in this area worked and owned the mills in the valley in the valley, where the bricks were built that actually built the bulk of the city.

I

There is a tremendous heritage value and you know really I think Charles soryo, who lived on hillside till his death would be spinning in his grave I'm, really saddened. I asked for your support and look forward to perhaps a better application going forward. Any.

A

Other members to speak all those in favor of recommendations before us any opposed that carries. Thank you. Moving along to te 30.1 to 451 to 457 Richmond Street West zoning amendment application request for directions report. We have a register speaker max Allen max welcome to the front.

A

Max I know you need no instructions whatsoever proceed when you're ready.

C

Good morning, madam chair members of community council guess what here comes some good news.

C

Our colleagues at the garment district, Neighborhood Association as a party to the OMB case, that's coming up, may be together with OMB hearing participants from nearby residential buildings will do the heavy lifting at the board. If it comes to that they'll, probably emphasize the immediate impact of applicable planning principles, and is it errata rather than prescriptive, numerical requirements and King Spadina precedence, which the city team will surely emphasize that doesn't sound like good news. Just wait.

C

We've talked almost everybody involved in this proposal and we're struck by the quantum of goodwill, together with the shifting circumstances in this block, including the two sites immediately across the street, one of which has been awaiting an OMB decision since June of last year. This situation is very fluid and my feeling is that a solution that everybody can live with everybody includes the immediate neighbors, the Neighborhood Association, the landowners and city staff. All of this is within reach.

C

We think that the unusually gentle terms of the request for Direction report before you are appropriate and we hope that the emphasis remains on this is an excellent opportunity to avoid the time and expense of an OMB battle. It doesn't sound like I'm, suggesting that you approve the request for Direction report, but I am and I think that, following that, there will be discussions among everybody involved in this and will result in an acceptable.

C

Resolution acceptable to everybody, so we support the request for Direction report, not because it refuses the application, because but because it leads to further discussions which I think will resolve in a good building.

A

Max, thank you very much. Are there any questions of the speaker, counselor Chrissie do.

H

You smile when you're giving a glass-half-full speech I'm looking for a smile here well.

C

That's all usually I come here to complain, and this is I'm dressed I'm dressed up as Pollyanna this morning and I'm. Sorry about that. But I I really think that there's hope for a change and not a war. Okay,.

A

Thank you very much max and thank you for that. Warm smile are there any other members of the public here to speak to this item and seeing none members with questions of staff members to speak, counselor, Krusty I thank.

H

You and I'll be moving the the staff recommendations and I also shared the glass half-full sentiments expressed by the deputy max Allen, as we seek to explore potential resolutions before a final hearing and with that I'll move the staff recommendations in the report. Thank.

A

You very much all those in favor any opposed that carries Thank You T thirty point one: three: four: sixty two Eastern Avenue official plan amendment and zoning amendment applications requesting for request for directions. Report many members of the public here for this matter, seeing none any members with questions of staff, seeing none members to speak.

L

Yes, thank you, I'm, going to move this forward without recommendations to the City Council Friday. We had a very good meeting with the developer and our party, the neighborhood party at the OMB and just to say this has been a really difficult process and thank everybody for coming to I hope a good resolution at Council.

L

This was the Western bread bakery on Eastern Avenue for many years, and it was a subject of went straight to the OMB, not just for the application, but for all the flooding, the Portland's flooding and the ministry had to give an approval for the fact that its employment on the north side- and we all know that South Side- is the employment area in the East End and it had to get a conversion and then it had the development application.

So it's been a long, slow process of three different Appeals at the OMB, and this is the final one and our neighbors have worked very hard on that, as has our city staff, and the developer has made some very significant moves on last week. So I'm happy to move this forward. I'm sure we'll get to a conclusion, but I want to thank everybody. Who's been involved with this thank.

A

You very much councillor any other speakers. Otherwise there is a motion on the screen before us all those in favor any opposed that carries. Thank you, t 30.1 for militia of a project, sorry property subject-to, an intention to designate under part four section: 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, 170, Merton, Street I, do have one register speaker. If there's any others who were interested in speaking, let us know at first I would like to call Tina Capello's welcome Tina, when you're ready, you've got five minutes good.

R

Morning, madam chair and members of council, I am a lawyer at Richie, caches in heart and biggert and I have brief remarks to make on behalf of my client Leslie Reeb anks, who, as you may know, is the architect who designed the property at 170 Merton Street some fifty years ago.

R

Mr. Ebanks is a renowned Toronto based architect, who is known for his award-winning designs throughout the city. He is a fellow of the Royal architectural Institute of Canada and an elected member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Mr. Riebe banks concept for 170 Merton Street was to create a structure with character and distinction, which is evidenced by the properties heritage designation.

R

My client is pro development in the City of Toronto, but he fundamentally opposes the demolition of this property due to its an unique character and its heritage value.

R

My client has had an opportunity to review the city staff report recommending the refusal of issuing a demolition permit for the site, and my client fully supports the city's recommendations made their end. I believe it goes without saying that the decision to issue a demolition permit is irreversible one, and, in that regard, my client respectfully request that council supports city staff's recommendation to refuse the issuance of the demolition permit and choose to preserve the unique character of this heritage. Building is the purpose of my attendance before you today. Thank.

A

You and thank you very much for providing us with those remarks. Any members with questions of the speaker, seeing none any other members of the public here to speak to this matter. Seeing none, then we'll bring this into community council members with questions of staff. Don't believe there are any members to speak. Councillor mallow I.

C

Move staff recommendations and with just a very simple comment: the title of this item is demolition of a property subject-to intention.

O

To designate etc.

C

It someone may mistakenly infer that this is about moving forward with the demolition, but this is an in fact, a report recommending to refuse it and that's something that we as a community support. Thank.

A

You very much councillor anyone else, No, all those in favor recommendations in the staff report any opposed that carries. Thank you moving right along our next start, the clock. Our next item is te 30 point: 15 demolition of three heritage properties in the South Rosedale Heritage Conservation, District, five, seven and nine Dale Avenue. We have two registered speakers, dawn Hogarth, South, Rosedale residents, association, followed by Jane Peppino. If there's any other members who are interested in speaking, please see the clerk and they will update our speakers list. Thank you.

A

Dawn before you begin, I was just advised by the clerk to maybe perhaps provide everyone with with a heads-up courtesy that I intend to move the recommendations that came out. The trial, Preservation Board, because today is not a statutory meeting. So give you a chance to speak again at the next time when it appears one more time so.

Q

Would you like to do that motion before no.

A

You you could also speak now, and you can speak again in June when it comes when this item is back or earlier. If the item makes it back in May, for example, I.

Q

A

Want to let everyone know this that that's the intention right now. Okay, thank you. Your clock is started. Go ahead! Please right, but.

Q

Thank you, madam chair, and and thanks for this opportunity to address the community council I apologize for my voice today, I'm speaking on behalf of the South Rosedale residents association. These remarks also represent reviews of the North Rossdale residents. Association I can also say, with confidence that, based on feedback received at a November 6th community meeting that we hosted attended by more than 100 residents and many many emails since then that the SRA represents a strong majority of our community on this issue.

Q

The SRA is in full agreement with heritage preservation, services, January 30th recommendation to refuse the issuance of a demolition permit for the heritage properties at 5, 7 and 9 dale avenue, and for the city to be represented in any OMB appeal on a final decision in 2003 when these buildings were designated with a c' rating in the south, Rosedale Heritage Conservation District, their contribution to the Heritage character of the area was affirmed. This is a fact inscribed in policy and should not be subject to alteration by questions of architectural style or personal preference.

Q

If that were the case, conceivably, every rated building in the conservation district could come into question and be at risk. Each of these properties is an integral part of the overall streetscape and is in keeping with the Garden Suburb that constitute self rosedale's. Heritage Conservation, notably the 13.9 meter, proposed height of the condom. You have significantly concedes exceeds that of all nearby structures on Dale, including near to nearby multi-unit buildings.

Q

The building will appear from the street as having a significantly larger scale and massing than the adjacent multi-unit building at 1a, Dale and single-family residences all along the street, and by comparison most of the caught building at 21 Dale to the east is set well back from the street and with large amounts of greenery in front has minimal street presence. The Heritage value of the three houses is most evident in seven Dale, as outlined in detail in the cultural heritage evaluation report report by Al eternal heritage, which, hopefully you have before you.

Q

The report describes the heritage Josh through attributes of the property. It's a prime example of the International style, designed by a notable modernist architect. It has an integral landscape design by highly regarded landscape architect's. It supports the eclectic mix of 19th and 20th century residences found throughout our neighborhood, and the property is physically visually and historically linked to its surroundings, consistent with the heritage, conservation, districts, Garden Suburb. For these reasons we joined with North Rosedale and the community organization, my Rosedale neighborhood, to nominate the property for designation under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Q

We were delighted to learn in the January thirtieth staff report that HPS has determined that the property has potential to meet the criteria for designation.

Q

It would be a tragedy to see such a prime example of modernist architecture lost not only to our neighborhood but to the city, Canadian Homes and Gardens for very good reason, devoted nine pages of the property in in nine pages to the property in its November 1944 edition. The SRA is already commented on the overall heritage impact of this proposal in our November 30th response to heritage preservation services.

Q

Their report affirms our opinion that the proposed development would not make an equal or greater contribution to the Heritage character of the district and as such does not satisfy the requirements for the demolition of C rated buildings. Heritage preservation. Staff have made it clear that the issues recommended recently by the Preservation Board for further investigation, including seven dáil and issues of design and zoning, have will have no bearing on their January 30th recommendation, which stands today. Whether or not this matter is deferred.

Q

We urge you in due course to follow those recommendations and to refuse demolition. Thank you.

A

And thank you very much your remarks. Are there any questions for the speaker, okay, seeing none I'd like to call Jayne pepino, followed by Katherine Lee.

E

Chair and members of committee I appear on behalf of the owners of five seven and nine Dale and I support. What I understand will be the councilors recommendation to adopt the recommendation to you of Heritage Preservation Board to have the matter deferred. We requested we request the te ycc adopt that recommendation for three basic reasons there are more first is to complete the work on the research of seven Dale. As mr.

E

Hogarth mentioned, it has been the subject very very recently, after two years of negotiation, with the community of a nomination by a private group for consideration for designation. That work is just commencing and we would like to see it complete.

E

Secondly, the Heritage Preservation board's role in jurisdiction under the terms, and they are unusual for South Rosedale of the Heritage Conservation District plan was to consider whether the replacement building could equally or was more able to contribute to their heritage characteristics and members of the Heritage Preservation Board were of the opinion that the report provided no insight to them in that regard, and they did want some additional information with respect to both zoning and design and in that regard, I just want to correct a misstatement of fact that mr.

E

Hogarth left with you with respect to the height of the replacement, building and I'll. Refer you to the page six of the Heritage report itself. When it says the proposed four-story building is similar in height to existing apartment buildings in South Rosedale and the roof and Eve line is similar to that of existing houses along Dale and in the district.

E

Finally, from the first time, with respect to the Heritage Preservation staff report, we heard after two years of working closely with them and many revisions that the issue of landscaping was something they wished to pursue further and we will be discussing it with them. I am disheartened. I must say to hear mr. Hogarth suggests that heritage planning staff notwithstanding what might come out of the additional work to be taken. An additional information to be provided might not ever change their recommendation of January thirtieth report.

E

I would hope that staff would be more open and willing to consider all of the appropriate matters, including and I. Come to my final point, the comments of their colleagues in the Planning Department, because you were supposed to have had before you this morning. The staff report on the zoning application that has been in process that was pulled at the very last moment, so, all of which goes to say, we I will be asking you to support the councilors recommendation to have all of the information brought before you at the appropriate time.

E

Allow further community input but allow some fairness to the applicant as well. I'm happy to answer any questions you have thank.

A

You very much Jane. Are there any questions for the speaker, okay, seeing none. Thank you. Thank you. Katherine.

A

Are there any other members of the public here to speak to this matter? Okay, Katherine you'll, be our final speaker. Thank you.

S

The chair and members of Toronto and Easter Community Council, my name, is Katherine Lee and I represent a neighborhood group called by Rosedale neighborhood formed to oppose the demolition of three heritage, rated homes in that South Rosedale, Heritage, Conservation District. After one and a half years since inception, my Rosedale neighborhood has more than 300 Rosedale neighbors on our mailing list.

S

We have five hundred and thirty people signed up on our social media petition and we have almost 100 percent of the owners on the subject and age adjacent streets all opposing the development with our ratepayers associations, South Rosedale in North Rosedale ratepayers. We have jointly stated to our War 27 councillor, Kristyn wong-tam, the city, planner and preservation services, that we oppose the applicants, development for a list of heritage and planning reasons, though briefly I highlight here.

S

Please note: the joint unified position of our community comes after more than one and a half years of meetings, starting with the city community meeting in November 2016 meetings with the applicant in 2017 and a community consultation meeting hosted by South Rosedale rate payers Association in November 2017. It was at this meeting, the applicants, revised submission was presented and new information on the hair significance of seven Dale was presented at the end of this meeting over a hundred and hundred attendees overwhelmingly voted to reject the applicants revised drawing by over 9% and here's.

S

Why heritage the three Heritage rated properties back onto ravine, the proposed architectural drawing is not equal to nor better than the existing homes. The test is not architectural taste, it's not subjective. In fact, it's based on heritage policy criteria and consider such things as cultural heritage, landscape heritage, relevance, property attributes, neighborhood, canopy and streetscape. Our heritage expert unearthed extensive research on seven day late last year, the owner, who bought the lot of seven Dale mr. CF woods, inherited Hobbs glass, also known as crystal glass and plastics, and with the famous architect mr. Gordon Sinclair Adamson.

S

They together shared a vision of building on the vacant lot and together. They designed a built and built a showcase for Hobbs glass to display to all the world what modernity with glass would bring in comfort and enjoyment. It is a unique combination of private interest, company investment and commercial intent. The international firm Adamson architects bears his name and continues to be headquartered in Toronto. Seven-Day Oh may have been the first example of mid-century modern international style architecture built in Ontario and the second in Canada.

S

The records indicate the first in Canada was built in British Columbia, the Seven Dale, home and garden remained intact and in its original state, except for the added swimming pool. The garden of seven Dale is just as important as the building landscape by the famous mr. Howard Dunnington Grubb and his wife, who later started a plant nursery which became Sheridan nurseries. Our our experts have an earth original, architectural and landscape detail and relevant documents with cultural relevance. We have provided the cultural heritage evaluation report to preservation services with our nomination of seven Dale.

S

We've also provided to the city, our heritage, experts, peer review of the applicant's heritage impact assessment, but in that come indicates an incomplete, if not flawed, analysis. That's required of heritage rated homes they quickly and with too much simplicity conclude. Their proposed development is worthy enough to demolish three heritage: rated homes for the construction of twenty six units in one four-story condo precedent, the applicant states that their development will not set a present.

S

How many times has his council heard that before only for the next developer, to build bigger and higher I respectfully submit, often and in too many postal codes? This development was assembled on three Lots backing onto ravine with apartment buildings on either side built, post-world War, two, the entire Rosedale area is encircled by a ravine system. Most houses on Iran are on a large lot and there are apartment buildings that were all built: pre, 1960s, sprinkled throughout Rosedale.

S

This is precedent-setting, let's not kid ourselves. There are good examples of precedent in our neighborhood, some of the largest homes and heritage, Rosedale, being maintained and adapted to accommodate multi families. These projects have been sensitive and honor the heritage fabric of the neighborhood, Planning and Zoning. The apartment buildings you will hear about were all built, post-world War two. When the zoning rules were different, then the zoning rule changed in the 1960s to preserve the neighborhood in areas like Cabbagetown, Rosedale and the annex today.

S

The subject area is zoned for r1, which allows detached houses with a height limit of 10 meters and a maximum density of 0.6 times Cathy.

A

Sorry to interrupt, but your time is up which can I have your final thoughts. Please sure.

S

So in conclusion, we asked the city to enforce the heritage, designation and planning rules that are in place not allow for the demolition of three heritage, rated homes, except especially seven dáil, and reject the proposed development. Great.

A

Thank you very much. Are there any questions of the speaker? Okay, seeing none thank you and I, don't believe, there's any other members of the public here to speak to the matter. Any members with questions of staff, no okay, so I'll just quickly place.

A

The motion onto the screen I would like to refer the item back to the acting chief plan area, the executive director of chief planning to allow for further consideration of the property at seven Dale, with a request that there be a complete review by staff of the design and Zoning issues, and that matter be brought back to the Toronto Preservation Board and the Toronto, a short Community Council no later than is June 20th and June 6 meeting respectively. Okay, great thank you, so we will be dealing with this matter again in June.

A

This is the same recommendation that came out of the Toronto Preservation Board I can tell you having sex the preservation board. There was a lot of hustling amongst the board members as they try to really understand the the impact of the proposed application and I thought it'd be worthwhile for us to to take another look at him and the Preservation Board I, think I should say I believe adopted almost no.

A

It wasn't unanimous, but I think they were quite relieved that they were gonna have more time, and that would probably be the the most accurate way of describing what happened at the Preservation Board. And so that's. What this motion will do is allow everyone more time to complete the work, and so when the reports do come back, hopefully you'll also be lined up with the zoning final report.

A

We're gonna be able to sort of review both applications, so the one application, but through the lens of the both reports in one final, complete picture so for the for the speakers that came out today with my apologies, we're gonna, ask you to be you'll, be coming back again, but I. Think by that time, we'll be, will have everything before us and a rightful way. Are there any members who have questions of the mover, okay, seeing none any other members who would like to speak, seeing none all those in favor of the motion before you?

A

Okay, any opposed that that carries. Thank you.

A

You know what I'm not sure what happened to your side of the room: councillor T 30 points, 16 alterations to designated heritage properties and authority to enter into Heritage Eastman agreements, 71 King, Street, East, 75, King, Street, East, 79 to 81 King, Street, 83, King, Street, 85, King, Street, East and 89 King Street.

A

Any members who would like to speak? Okay, counselor Troi's.

Ii, thank you, madam chair I'd, like to move the staff recommendations. This approval adds another office development to the Downtown East Side. It also provides some employment opportunities for the st. Lawrence community and it's the third office approval on King Street in the last five years. So that's pretty significant.

E

This building will also allow an expansion, the path system, almost a church street, so it's another good public benefit I'd like to thank the Heritage Preservation staff for their work on this application, because it does preserve the most important heritage buildings in the oldest part of the city. So thank you.
