Does
clerks
have
my
emotional?
They
do.
I
have
an
amendment
first,
if
I
can
put
on
the
screen.
So
I
have
a
motion
to
amend
this
and
to
approve
the
staff
recommendations,
and
this
is
for
additional
work
to
be
done
between
now
and
count
and
council
working
on
some
of
the
domino
impacts
to
ensure
that
we're
adequately
addressing
them
comprehensively.
Okay,.
A
B
You
I'm
gonna,
move
the
staff
recommendations
and
just
know
this
was
one
of
the
first
cafes
on
a
street
within
a
space
that
was
previously
parking.
It
is
now
we've
had
to
every
year,
approve
it
again
and
again
and
again,
this
is
to
establish
that
it
will
be
delegated
going
forward.
It's
a
great
initiative,
and
now
we
don't
have
to
have
a
motion
on
it.
Every
year,
very.
B
A
A
F
G
G
F
I
A
We're
not
yet
at
ten
o'clock
do
we
have
9:30
scheduled
adds.
We
do
have
9:30
scheduled
items
so
we'll
go
to
item
te
10.1
naming
of
an
existing
public
Lane
east
of
Tecumseh
Street,
extending
subtly
from
Richmond
Street
West.
Are
there
any
members
of
the
public
who
wish
to
make
a
deputation
on
this
item?
B
You
talking,
first
of
all,
gonna
move
the
staff
recommendations
and
just
a
brief
note
on
this
I.
This
is
members
in
the
community
in
the
area
approached
us
about
renaming
a
laneway
after
Gershon
Iskowitz
aye,
its
Holocaust
education
week
and
Gershon
was
a
Holocaust
survivor
who
emigrated
to
Canada
in
1949,
and
he
established
a
studio
on
to
come,
say,
and
he
became
a
renowned
artist
across
this
country
and
it's
as
we
as
we
recognize
people
like
Gershon
it
just.
B
A
You
thank
you
all.
Those
in
favor
opposed
that
carries.
Oh
look.
You've
got
support
in
the
crowd
there.
You
go.
They
all
voted
for.
Okay
item
te,
10.2
naming
of
an
existing
public
Lane
north
of
Queen
Street
East,
extending
between
Parliament
Street
and
treffen
Street
I
have
a
registered
deputation
coralina
lemons
good
morning.
Coralina
just
take
a
seat,
and
if
you
could
just
see
is
the
microphone
lit
in
front
of
you.
J
A
J
D
L
E
Coralina,
thank
you
very
much
for
all
the
work
that
you
did
and
specifically
your
request
about
making
sure
that
your
name
is
attached
to
this
report.
There's
one
sentence
that
lead
that
that
sort
of
introduces
the
the
actual
blurb
that's
set
out
in
the
quotations.
The
following
background
and
documentation
was
provided
by
the
applicant
and
then
there's
a
set
of
colons.
Would
it
be
satisfactory
to
just
put
your
name
there
and
amend
the
report
in
that's
such
a
way
sure
yeah?
It
will
just
stand
for
the
public
record.
A
J
A
D
A
A
Where
did
coralina
go
so
we
so
because
it's
in
the
body
of
the
report
we're
not
amending
recommendations.
The
clerk's
office
will
undertake
to
put
that
change
on
the
public
document,
so
be
on
the
public
record
forever:
okay,
very
good.
Okay.
So,
with
that
counselor
one-time
questions
of
staff,
we're
moving
the
item,
I.
E
And
it's
not,
and
it's
not
lost
on
me
that
we've
actually
gone
through
a
number
of
naming
exercises
in
the
in
the
downtown
core
and
specifically
and
I.
Don't
necessarily
seize
this
level
of
deep
research
into
the
importance
of
who
that
individual
is
sometimes
we
get
a
name,
that's
submitted
to
us,
and
then
the
staff
will
we'll
canvas
for
some
support.
But
it's
always
great
to
see
such
a
rich
background
to
the
recommendation
and
for
that
I'm
very
grateful.
A
Okay,
so
on
the
motion,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried
item
te
10.3,
naming
of
an
existing
public
Lane
east
of
Dodge
Road,
extending
southerly
from
Donora
Drive.
Are
there
any
members
of
the
public
who
wish
to
address
the
Committee
on
this
matter,
seeing
none
any
questions
of
staff?
No
councillor
Bradford
thanks.
B
Very
much
this
is
a
funny
situation
where
the
residents
on
this
particular
Street
don't
actually
have
access
to
the
front
of
Dodds
road
where
the
front
of
their
houses
is
so
they
don't
have
a
sidewalk
or
anything
and
often
the
cases.
The
services
which
are
collected
off
the
rear
Lane
way
are
not
picked
up.
So
this
is
an.
A
A
G
G
A
G
I,
do
there
we
go.
There
is
the
motion,
and
it
is
that
the
Toronto
nice
jerk
Community
Council
request
staff
of
the
Indigenous
Affairs
Office
to
provide
an
appropriate
street
name
to
precede
the
new
lower
Coxwell,
designation
and
report
to
the
Toronto
and
East
York
Community
Council
on
December
3rd
2019.
This
is
a
new
street
name.
First
of
all,
it's
back
here.
Strangely
ECS
staff
did
not
have
the
new
boundaries
of
the
wards
in
order
to
have
both
of
our
wards
on.
G
So
this
is
back
here
and
it
would
be
great
any
opportunity
that
we
have
to
bring
forward
names
of
the
HUD
Michonne
II
Anishinabe,
the
wind
out
people's
Mississauga's,
any
historic
names
that
we
can
have
a
chance
to
add
to
a
street
and
in
particular,
when
we're
naming
a
new
street
I
think
that
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
happens
as
often
as
possible,
so
Coxwell
from
Queen
to
all
the
way
up
to
a
corner
and
past
O'connor
is
designated
with
addresses.
This
section
between
lakeshore
and
Queen
does
not
have
any
addresses.
G
It
basically
is
unnamed,
although
we
called
it
Coxwell,
so
this
will
be
called
lower,
Coxwell
but
I
believe
with
a
fantastic,
very
meaningful
indigenous
name
to
precede
it.
So
we
can
remember
all
of
the
time
that
who
came
before
us,
whose
land
we're
on
and
in
particular,
when
we're
near
the
lake
because
of
the
importance
of
water
and
the
ash
bridges,
the
ash,
bridges
Marsh,
which
fed
thousands
and
thousands
of
people
with
fishing
for
many
years,
so
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I'd,
like
to
have
that
moved.
Thank.
A
You
anyone
else
to
speak
to
the
other,
seeing
none
we'll
take
the
amendment
and
the
item
together,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
that
carries.
The
next
item
is
te
ten
point:
six:
five:
four:
zero:
two:
five:
four
four
King
Street
West
and
one
through
seven
Morrison,
Street
zoning
bylaw
amendment
application
final
report:
members,
the
public
I,
have
close
to
a
dozen
registered
dècadence
I
want
to
advise
you
that
I've
been
informed
that
the
councillors
intention
is
to
defer
this
item
for
further
report.
A
Typically,
we
restrict
people
to
only
deputing
on
an
item
once
and
therefore,
if
you
were
to
depute
today-
and
it
were
the
same
item
when
it
comes
back,
you
would
not
be
given
an
opportunity
to
depute
again.
However,
I
understand
that
there
will
be
some
changes
brought
forward.
So
if
those
changes
raise
new
issues,
people
who
do
speak
to
get
speak
today
will
be
permitted
to
speak
again
next
time.
A
K
Okay,
thank
you.
So
my
intention
is
speaking.
Knowing
that
I
can't
speak
again
in
December
is
to
represent
this,
that
you
have
some
framework
to
apply
the
when
it
comes
to
you
next
in
December
or
so
on.
It's
just
want.
You
had
to
understand
the
community
that
this
is
in
so
20
Brant
Street
is
a
school
located
at
Brandon.
Adelaide
is
a
four-story
school
and
a
heritage
building.
K
These
are
big
big
windows
that
let
in
lots
of
light,
that
means
that
there's
no
Sun
coming
in
from
12:00
to
4:00
inside
the
school
building
on
the
playground
itself.
There
is
no
Sun
between
2:00
and
4:00
and
and
before
you
know,
there's
might
be
some
considerations
that
will
the
school
ends
at
3:30.
It
doesn't
for
a
lot
of
kids.
K
A
lot
of
parents
can't
pick
their
kids
up
at
3:30,
my
own
two
children,
Max
and
Rex,
and
JK
and
grade
one
have
to
stay
there
until
6:00
I'd
like
to
also
you
to
understand
a
little
bit
about
the
school.
The
school
itself
has
about
75
kids,
it's
four
stories.
It's
jk2
grade
six
for
the
first
three
stories
and
then
on
top
of
that,
our
high
school
students.
On
the
fourth
floor,
it's
a
community
that
has
interacted
with
the
local
residents
in
ways
that
are
special.
It
has
an
annual
Halloween
parade
around
the
block.
K
It
gives
out
hot
chocolate
when
it's
bike
ride
your
bike
to
work,
to
work
day
or
ride
your
bike
day.
I
think
they
do
that
in
the
spring,
it's
a
special
little
community
and
it's
a
school
and
I
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
consideration
given
to
st.
Andrew's
Park
on
Adelaide
Street,
because
it
is
a
treasured
public
space.
We
believe
that
the
school
also
needs
to
be
given
the
kind
of
attention
that
the
Adelaide
Park
is
given.
It
is
also
a
public
space.
K
It
is,
it
should
never
leave
the
public
realm
because
if
and
therefore
it
should
be
valued
as
much
as
st.
andrew's
playground,
we
find
that
the
design
itself
is
dissonant,
with
the
secondary
plan
for
king
and
Spadina
that
it
doesn't
meet
some
of
the
criteria
within
it.
It
doesn't
recognize
the
community.
It's
in
it's,
it's
sort
of
a
mean
design.
K
I
mean
it's,
the
facade
is
no
doubt
very
pretty
along
King,
but
it's
a
mean
design
and
that
it
doesn't,
it
just
tries
to
take
up
every
available
square
footage
and
build
as
high
as
it
is
allowed.
So
it's
trying
to
maximize
the
space,
but
without
acknowledging
the
kind
of
impact
it
has
on
everyone
around
it,
and
you
know
when
I
come
here.
Speaking
on
behalf
of
the
school
I'm,
also
really
acknowledging
the
community
that
surrounds
this.
K
This
building,
this
proposed
design
the
ten
Morrison
Street
residents,
the
the
neighborhood
associations,
everyone
that's
involved
and
has
been
in
discussion
with
this
I'd,
also
like
to
recognize
that
we
have
been
involved
in
conversations
with
this
community
process
since
2018
and
we've
always
had
the
same
position
and
the
same
design
is
still
present.
So
that's
why
we
have
taken
to
more
vocal
means
so
and
lastly,
I'd
like
to
leave
you
with
this
kind
of
idea
that
the
school
itself
it
prioritizes
outdoor
education.
That
is
one
of
its
mandate
in
one
of
its
central
pedagogy's.
K
A
H
Seventy
six
I
represent
three
hundred
and
thirty
two
owners,
our
condo
neighbors
to
the
west
of
the
proposed
development
at
five
sixty
King
Street
West.
We
find
the
proposed
development
deeply
troubling
because
it
fails
that
conform
to
the
Official
Plan,
the
King
Spadina
secondary
plan,
the
King
Spadina
Heritage
Conservation
District
plan,
the
city's
Heritage
Register,
the
provincial
policy
statement
of
2014
and
the
growth
plan
for
the
Greater
Golden
Horseshoe.
The
proposed
development
doesn't
properly
conserve
heritage
resources
and
reflects
clear
and
measurable
over
development
for
the
site.
H
The
proposed
development
will
also
make
Morrison,
Street
and
narrow,
highly
congested
dead-end
street,
completely
congested
with
traffic
and
dangerous
for
vehicles
and
pedestrians
alike.
Consequently,
it
will
encourage
vehicles
to
use
the
private
driveway
of
560
King
Street
to
access
the
proposed
development
on
Morrison
Street.
It
is
incumbent
upon
council
to
not
only
reject
this
proposed
development,
but
also
challenge
this
proposed
development
at
the
Local
Planning
Appeal
Tribunal,
starting
with
height.
The
proposed
development
does
not
conform
to
the
zoning
bylaw,
because
the
building's
height
is
more
than
double
the
height
limit.
H
The
proposed
building
would
have
a
height
of
50
meters
when
the
zoning
permits
a
height
of
23
meters.
The
proposed
development
also
does
not
conform
to
the
provincial
policy
statement:
the
Official
Plan,
the
kinks,
but
on
a
secondary
plan
and
the
growth
plan,
the
building
is
not
well
designed,
doesn't
fit
harmoniously
and
it's
a
16
contact,
because
in
its
existing
in
plan
context
and
reflects
clear
and
measurable
over
development
for
the
site.
The
proposed
developments
to
tall
and
the
massing
is
out
of
scale
and
inappropriate
for
the
West
precinct
of
King
Spadina
for
context.
H
The
proposed
development
is
50%
taller
than
the
neighboring
building
at
560,
King,
Street
and
46%
taller
than
the
neighboring
at
10:00
Morrison.
The
proposed
development
will
destroy
the
light
view
and
privacy
of
the
residence
at
both
560
King
Street
and
10
Morrison.
The
impact
will
be
felt
by
all
332
residents
at
560
King
Street,
as
the
proposal
element
will
overlook
the
ninth
floor,
amenity,
space
and
rooftop
pool.
This
violates
the
provincial
policy
statement,
which
requires
that
new
developments
must
provide
adequate
light
and
privacy
and
limit
resulting
shadowing
of
neighboring
properties.
H
Step
backs
the
step
backs
of
the
proposed
development
violate
the
policies
of
City,
Planning
staff
and
city's
heritage
register
for
the
city
planning
staff
require
a
minimum
five
point:
five
meter
step
back
from
any
property
line.
That
is
not
a
street
for
40%
of
the
West
property
line
at
5:48,
King
Street
West.
The
proposed
development
has
a
step
back
of
only
2
metres.
This
critical
deficiency
will
have
several
negative
impacts.
H
Similarly,
the
step
backs
along
the
property
line
surrounding
12
Brandt
suite
12
Brant
Street
are
inadequate.
The
north
property
line
at
12
Brant
Street,
has
a
step
back
of
only
3
metres
and
the
East
property
line
of
12
Bank
Street
12
Brant
Street
has
a
step
back
of
0
metres.
This
will
will
severely
limit
the
redevelopment
potential.
The
adjacent
property
at
12
branch
Street,
the
existing
heritage
building
at
544
King
Street
West,
has
setbacks
of
approximately
5.5
metres
from
King
Street
West.
H
This
setback
is
identified
as
one
of
the
heritage
attributes
of
the
building
and
a
reason
for
its
inclusion
on
the
city's
Heritage
Register.
Under
the
proposed
development.
The
front
wall
of
the
heritage
building
at
544,
King,
Street
West,
would
be
retained
and
move
forward
approximately
5
metres.
This
would
eliminate
the
existing
setback
of
the
heritage
building
at
544
King
Street
West
violating
the
intent
of
the
city's
Heritage
Register
City
policy
states
that
continuous
wraparound
balconies
are
not
permitted
to
encroach
into
any
of
the
setback
areas.

The

and
the

H
The
addition
of
a
residential
Lobby,
including
mailroom,
and
loading
bay
access
would
make
Morrison
Street
virtually
impossible
to
navigate.
This
would
not
only
create
a
dangerous
situation
for
drivers
and
pedestrians,
but
it
would
encourage
vehicles
to
use
the
private
driveway

Could
I
ask
you
to
access
the
proposed
development
on
Morrison
Street,
okay,.
A
M
A
C
C
We
have
great
concerns
about
how
all
four
of
these
proposals
will
represent
an
over
intensification
of
the
block
and
create
a
number
of
the
detrimental
situations
to
traffic
on
Morrison
Street
in
terms
of
built
form,
as
was
mentioned
before,
the
the
building
is
significantly
out
size
compared
to
other
present
structures
on
the
block.
52
meters,
in
height
by
the
elevator
over
run
over
100
meters
in
depth
and
in
terms
of
the
running
through
the
block
it
is
to
RV,
represent
representative
of
the
high-rise
building
pushed
on
its
side.
C
This
building
will
essentially
this
proposal
for
us
was
a
set,
will
essentially
block
that
light
and
it
will
be
permanent
and,
as
I
mentioned,
there
are
three
other
proposals
on
the
block,
which
will
also
have
the
same
effect.
The
facing
distance
is
on
to
Morrison
Street
between
10
Morrison
and
the
building
under
consideration
are
19
meters.
C
In
addition,
we
have
concerns
about
the
use
of
Morrison.
Street
Morrison
is
a
dead-end
street.
It's
essentially
in
a
failed
state
right
now.
One
of
our
residents
submitted
a
large
number
of
photographs
and
videos
of
how
the
street
functions
right
now,
and
it
is
not
right
now.
It
is
inadequate
to
service
two
buildings
as
there's
this
proposal
and
another
one
coming
forward.
C
Presently
a
tell
pat
well
parking
access
for
the
proposed
building
has
moved
to
branch
Street
have
any
loading
delivery,
garbage
and
other
such
services
are
to
be
still
to
be
you
in
use
on
Warren
Street.
We
think
those
will
just
add
to
the
significant
traffic
issues
that
are
already
existing
at
this
point
I,
since
the
previous
speaker
touched
on
a
large
number
of
other
issues.
I
see
no
point
in
repeating
them,
but
they
are
all
important
and
we
believe
that
those
need
to
be
considered
as
well.
C
C
That
said,
we
still
believe
there's
an
opportunity
to
change
things,
we're
not
opposed
to
development
on
the
site,
we're
not
opposed
to
mixed-use
development
on
the
site,
but
we
would
like
to
see
further
improvements
to
this
plan
so
that
what
is
built
is
actually
actually
reflects
the
benefits
of
both
the
school
and
the
residents
and
allows
the
developer
to
build
something
that
is
abuse
to
them
as
as
a
business.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
B
B
First
of
all,
just
as
a
beginning
point
I'd
like
to
thank
members
of
the
school
community,
the
garment
district,
Neighborhood,
Association
and
residents
within
its
boundaries,
as
well
as
the
applicant
and
our
city
staff,
for
a
lot
of
work
to
date
on
this,
but
I'm
not
satisfied
that
we're
there
yet
and
I
just
want
to
tell
members
of
this
committee
a
little
bit
why
the
background
on
this
is
complicated.
There
are
actually
two
development
sites
that
were
joined
together.
B
One
of
them
had
to
no
one
be
approval
in
2009,
and
so
there
was
a
development
site
which
is
incorporated
in
this.
That
was
approved
by
the
OMB
in
2009.
That
has
a
harmful
impact
on
the
school
to
begin
with,
including
shadow,
that's
a
problem,
and
it
has
a
harmful
impact
on
some
of
the
local
neighboring
buildings
that
we
just
heard
about.
So
that's
one
OMB
approval.
There
was
another
proposed
development
that
has
been
joined
with
that
formal
OMB
approval.
B
So
that's
what's
in
front
of
us
today
it
is
a
new
project,
and
so
in
that
context
we
have
a
downtown
school
one
of
the
few.
That's
immediately
adjacent
we
have
heritage.
We
also
have
a
small
overextended
Street
on
Morrison
with
nearby
residents.
So
what's
our
objective
from
my
perspective
as
a
councillor
in
as
the
city,
the
starting
objective
has
to
be
to
improve
the
relationship
between
a
new
development
over
the
existing
OMB
approval.
We
had
a
bad
OMB
approval,
that's
harmful,
and
so
the
objective
here
has
to
be
too.
B
B
City
staff
went
so
far
as
to
have
consultations
with
and
the
developer
to
go
to
meet
with
kids
in
the
school
who
gave
presentations
and
I
think
based
on
these
two
years
of
consultations.
I
will
acknowledge
because
I
don't
want
to
give
the
impression
that
nothing's
been
done,
that
city
staff
have
secured
important
changes
right.
That
there
is
a
lower
base
building
beside
the
school
there's
setbacks
where
there
wasn't
before
as
it
relates
to
Morrison.
There
is
parking
off
Brandt,
not
off
Morrison,
as
what's
proposed
before
and
with
setbacks
there.
B
B
What's
in
front
of
us
today,
I'm
not
prepared
as
the
local
councillor
to
endorse
the
recommendations
yet
because,
fundamentally
in
in
a
booming
downtown
and
in
a
vibrant
urban
community,
any
new
negative
impact
on
the
school,
a
new
net
shadow
over
and
above
what
the
OMB
already
approved,
is
not
acceptable.
I
think
we
have
to
do
better
than
that
and
I
know.
B
This
is
hard
because
it's
a
domino
effect
and
when
you
move
one
thing,
you
move
another
but
I'm
not
satisfied
that,
just
because
the
OMB
approved
something
the
past
that
we
can't
improve
it
today,
and
so
in
terms
of
where
we're
going
forward,
the
deferral
is
in
their
directions
is
to
request
staff
to
work
with
the
applicant
in
the
community
around
further
changes.
I
don't
do
so
lightly,
but
I
do
so
because
I
think
we
can
do
better
than
what's
in
front
of
us
here.
B
We
have
an
applicant
in
allied
and
great
golf
who
we
have
a
good
working
relationship
with
and
who
are
invested
in
this
area.
So
it's
it's
important
for
them,
just
as
it's
important
for
the
local
community
in
the
school
and
us
to
get
to
a
better
resolution
and
I,
don't
I,
don't
believe
the
argument
that
we
should
just
fight
this
because
to
fight
it
would
be
to
accept
either
the
previous
own
B
approval,
which
wasn't
good
or
a
potential
new
appeal
which
could
result
in
something
worse.
B
A
I
I
I
I
Lastly,
I
actually
used
the
park
on
a
daily
basis,
as
do
a
number
of
other
residents
and
the
location
that
the
box
is
being
proposed
to
be
moved
to
is
actually
that
area
of
the
park,
which
is
the
most
safe
and
most
highly
used.
So
from
that
element
alone,
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
to
have
the
Box
moved.
I
I
think
that
the
suggestion
to
move
this
electrical
box
is
wasteful,
I
think
it's
irresponsible
and
I
frankly
think
that
it's
bad
environmental
George,
to
give
permanent
easements
for
the
city
to
spend
up
to
a
million
dollars
to
destroy
our
trees
makes
no
sense
to
me.
My
final
comment
is:
if
people
find
the
box
aesthetically
displeasing,
we
really
ought
to
be
looking
at
a
way
of
softening
the
look
of
the
box.
I
It
would
be
very,
very
straightforward
to
do
some
softening
planting
I'm,
not
an
expert
in
in
you
know,
plants
and
trees,
but
in
the
park
we
could
very
easily
put
some
bushes
and
trees
around
the
box,
which
would
no
doubt
help
with
the
aesthetic
offenses
causing,
and
consequently
this
would
see
the
city
spending
up
to
a
million
dollars.
It
would
save
the
city
giving
permanent
easements
to
Enbridge
and
it
would
also
see
if
the
trees
in
our
park.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
are
very
much
appreciated.
I
Oh
and
just
one
one
final
point:
I'd
like
to
meet
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
appropriate
at
this
point
as
either
for
this
recommendation
to
be
rejected,
or,
at
the
very
least,
I
feel
that
we
could
ask
for
a
deferral
to
have
all
of
the
issues
that
I've
brought
up
be
considered
fulsomely
and
properly,
because
I
truly
believe
that
the
costs,
the
the
land
easements
permanent
land
easements
and
the
destructions
of
trees
was
never
fully
disclosed
throughout
this
process
and
I
think
it's
important
that
they
be
taken
into
consideration.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
N
N
I
am
Karen
Gore's
line,
I
live
at
118,
McPherson
Avenue
I
have
lived
in
the
neighborhood
since
1975
and
have
a
strong
interest
in
seeing
part
green
spaces,
Street
tea,
tree
canopy
and
front
and
rear
yard
landscaping
preserved
for
current
and
future
residents
and
future
generations.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I
strongly
support
the
official
plan
amendment
to
allow
for
permanent
easement
to
facilitate
the
relocation
of
Umbridge
gas
distribution
to
a
more
appropriate
location
at
the
far
southeast
corner
of
J.
N
Mcpherson
green,
and
my
reasons
are
that
this
is
this
picture,
is
what
the
park
looked
like.
It
had
just
been
gone.
It
had
gone
through
a
significant
renewal
and
if
you
look
right
here,
you
can
see
that
was
the
in
bridge
installation
this
little
flat
metal
plate
and
so
after
the
changes.
This
is
what
happened
to
the
flat
metal
plate.
N
N
In
terms
of
the
Box
the
bunker,
the
impact
it
distracts
from
the
park
from
a
number
of
different
perspectives,
this
particular
is
a
pedestrian
and
resident
perspective
from
the
from
North
McPherson
and
so
right
across
the
street
from
people
living
there.
I
have
another
one
here,
which
is
a
pedestrian
view
from
the
east
side
of
Avenue
Road,
and
if
you
notice,
in
the
background,
I
didn't
need
to
stop
moving.
In
the
background,
there
is
a
water
fountain
and
a
seating
area,
and
the
walkway
through
the
park
goes
right
back
through
here
just
in
this
area.
N
The
city
has
recognized,
then,
that
there
were
processes
and
policy
guidelines
flaws,
resulting
in
inappropriate
results.
In
this
case,
utility
infrastructure
will
not
be
smaller
or
less
intrusive
as
it
grows
to
meet
demand,
so
it
has
to
be
managed.
The
bunker
experience
gives
us
one
example
of
that
and
I'd
like
to
show
in
another
public
realm
experience.
N
This
is
a
public
realm
experience
from
Charles
Street
East
at
bay,
and
it
isn't
a
jungle
gym
and
I
want
to
give
you
a
longer
view
of
that.
So
you
see
the
context
of
where
it
is.
You
may
recognize
the
location,
so
what
you
see
is
utilities
that
aren't
really
being
managed
by
the
utility
company
or
the
city
and
some
adverse
results.
N
So
the
parks
in
public
realm
are
to
be
enjoyed
by
everyone,
local
residents
nearby
and
broader
community,
those
walking
through
catching
and
getting
off
a
bus,
visiting
friends
in
the
area
or
tourists
who
visit
our
city.
It's
in
Toronto's
best
interest
to
address
eyesores
and
be
a
beautiful
city.
So
it's
not
just
restricted
to
people
who
live
immediate
adjacent
to
the
area.
Investments
in
renewing
J,
McPherson
Park,
along
with
sergeant
Ryan
Russel
Park
on
the
opposite
side
of
Avenue
Road,
need
to
be
protected.
N
The
use
of
section
37
funds
means
relocating
the
bunker
is
covered
by
funds
intended
to
offset
community
impacts
related
to
development,
and
development
is
what
is
driving
larger
utility
infrastructure.
The
location
here
is
tucked
into
a
corner,
it's
less
used
and
a
less
visible
area,
and
if
you
notice,
there's
some
wine
rack
and
two
bicycle
bicycle
tires
in
the
trees.
N
A
A
People
remembers
the
public
if
there
are
concerns
about
the
timing
of
a
deputation
or
something
like
that.
There
are
clerk
staff
just
over
here.
If
you
could
raise
your
hand
if
you
could
just
alert
them
in
future
about
any
problems
like
this,
it
just
makes
managing
the
agenda
easier.
So
Ann
did
you
want
to
address
us.
I
Thank
you
very
much
for
allowing
me
to
interrupt
the
process.
I
just
wanted
to
add
echo
that
my
previous
neighbor
I
have
excuse.
Me
lived
at
206,
McPherson
Avenue
across
from
the
park
for
close
to
20
years
now,
and
it
is
with
concern
that
I
saw
the
erection
of
this
the
bunker
as
it's
known
on
the
street.
It
not
only
interrupts
this
sort
of
the
green
space
that
has
been
created
across
from
my
house,
but
also
the
enjoyment
of
the
park
more
generally.
As
my
neighbor
mentioned,
it
can
be
seen
from
every
vantage
point.
I
It
was
also
concerning
that
a
healthy
flourishing
tree
was
destroyed
in
the
creation
of
this
Park.
I
wanted
to
also
add
the
fact
that
it
is
wonderful
that
Toronto
creates
green
space,
particularly
this
space
was
named
in
honor
of
James
McPherson
I
have
a
personal
relationship
with
Jamie
McPherson.
She
was
a
professor
of
mine
at
the
University
of
Toronto
to
honor
such
an
individual,
with
a
flourishing
healthy
space
that
everyone
can
enjoy
is
really
one
of
the
lovely
things
about
living
in
Toronto.
I
So
it
was
with
incredible
distress
that
I
saw
this
particular
structure
erected
to
interrupt
sort
of
a
barnacle
on
the
landscape
that
interrupts
everyone's
enjoyment.
Not
simply,
you
know
it's
a
blight
to
me
as
a
living
across
the
street
from
it,
but
that's
not
my
longer-term
view.
I
think
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
redress
a
planning
decision
that
was
not
fully
organized
or.
I
Within
the
neighborhood
more
broadly,
and
so
that
would
basically
be
my
those
are
my
points
that
I'd
like
to
make
and
I
share
with
my
neighbor's
concern
that
this
the
situation
is
one
that
can
be
redressed.
There's
not
very
many
that
we
can.
We
can
fix
that
have
been
done
without
thoughtful
planning.
This
is
one
of
them,
and
I
also
want
to
express
concern
that
there's
a
lot
of
misinformation
about
the
funding,
how
it's
going
to
be
the
money.
That's
the
fund
that
is
going
to
be
used.
I
C
J
Name
is
Adrian
Lemus
occuring
the
reside
at
167
McPherson
quite
close
to
the
park,
roughly
five
doors
down,
I
use
the
park
on
a
daily
basis,
one
of
the
problems
with
regards
to
this
amendment
and
this
movement
and
time
and
time
again
that
comes
up
is
this
purely
for
aesthetic
purposes?
The
city
is
spending
a
substantial
amount
of
money
for
a
purely
aesthetic
purposes.
J
H
J
A
A
J
Morning
and
I,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
community
council.
My
name
is
Jeffrey
Gertner,
my
wife
and
I
live
at
177
McPherson,
Avenue,
directly
adjacent
to
the
Jamie
McPherson
Green
Park,
the
Jamie
McPherson
Green
Park
monarchs
express
my
strong
objection
to
the
proposal
to
relocate
the
Enbridge
gas
bunker.
This
initiative
is,
in
my
opinion,
is
oak,
conceived
and
wasteful
and
has
not
been
active
adequately
communicated
to
the
residents
that
will
be
impacted
most.
J
This
will
be
the
fourth
move
on
our
street
for
the
specifics
Enbridge
box
in
a
decade
and
the
only
relocation
that
is
strictly
for
vanity
rather
than
safety
or
regulatory
reasons.
In
the
report
we
have
all
received
in
the
report
that
you
all
receive
this.
Rather
bland
structure
has
been
described
as
a
visual
blight,
which
is
a
complete
exaggeration
to
characterize
a
type
of
1.5
meters
as
soaring
and
to
assert
that
insulation
is
placed
in
a
grassy
area
can
commonly
precede
that
the
at
the
green
space
entrance
is
totally
untrue.
J
The
current
location
of
the
box
is
at
one
of
the
busiest
and
most
dangerous
spots
in
the
park
near
the
corner
of
McPherson
and
Avenue
Road,
where
no
responsible
parent
would
ever
allow
their
children
to
play.
Parents
currently
gather
for
good
reason,
the
exact
spot
where
Ambridge
is
proposing
to
move
the
box.
This
move
will
also
waste
up
to
a
million
dollars
and,
according
to
The
Arbors
report
of
July
2018
could
result
in
the
destruction
or
injury
as
as
many
as
five
mature
as
five
more
mature
trees
in
the
park.
J
In
addition
to
the
two
that
were
recently
lost
a
Dutch
elm
disease,
this
represents
over
thirty
percent
of
the
tree
canopy
in
our
Park.
Just
one
block
north
of
the
railroad
tracks
in
the
Robinson
Davies
Park
one
can
see
the
impact
of
the
utility
unnecessarily,
removing
the
trees
and
replacing
them
with
small
seedlings
that
will
take
fifty
years
or
more
to
mature,
on
top
of
the
exorbitant
cost.
J
The
destruction
of
the
trees
and
the
Fox
relocation
also
requires
the
city
to
grant
not
one
but
three
permanent
easement
stand
bridge
handling
over
8%
of
the
handing
over
eight
percent
of
the
land
in
the
park.
I
firmly
believe
that
if
the
residents
of
our
area
were
presented
with
a
full
set
up
information
that
could
better
understand
the
full
impact
of
this
impact
of
this
proposal
and
not
decide
for
themselves
on
the
two
merits
of
the
issue.
Unfortunately,
this
has
not
been
the
case
throughout
the
consultation
process.
J
Those
of
us
who
will
be
most
impacted
by
the
move,
but
we're
never
provided
with
the
full
story
or
the
impact
or
the
true
cost.
I
was
also
disappointed
that
the
ABC
CRA
message
sent
out
this
week
to
the
Association
members,
which
was
heavily
positioned
to
justify
the
move.
Absalom
was
an
arborist,
a
report
which
has
never
been
shared
broadly
and
the
message
contained
before-and-after
photos
that
I
classify
as
highly
selective.
J
There
are
a
number
of
simple
and
cost-effective
solutions.
I
will
enable
the
Enbridge
box
to
blend
better
into
the
current
environment,
such
as
landscaping.
In
summary,
I
urge
all
of
you
to
reject
this
misguided
and
wasteful
proposals,
save
our
trees
and
focus
that
efforts,
the
city,
efforts
and
resources
on
proving
the
lives
of
Torontonians
in
a
true
need.
M
Have
somewhat
familiar
yes,
sir:
welcome
okay,
I
know
the
clock
is
there
and
it's
already
started
so
my
name
is
Robert
Brown
and
although
I
don't
live
on
McPherson
as
a
longtime
resident
of
the
area,
I'm
a
very
avid
Walker
and
I
regularly
traverse
through
J
Macpherson
green
on
my
way
to
visit
friends
or
shopping
on
Yonge
Street
I
have
never
been
concerned
about
the
current
location
of
the
Enbridge
distribution
facility.
I
attended
the
public
meeting
held
earlier
this
year
and
appreciated
the
information
provided
by
both
Enbridge
and
community
planning
staff.
M
M
So
in
terms
of
the
rationale
for
the
move,
it
is
my
understanding
from
reviewing
the
material
and
talking
to
planning
that
there
is
no
quoted
safety
issues.
With
this
current
location.
It
was
put
there,
it
was
all
approved
and
it's
perfectly
fine,
and
as
requested
by
the
ABC
residents,
Association
an
Enbridge
bra.
No
gas
is
proposing
to
relocate
to
its
fourth,
the
site
in
in
the
last
decade,
as
I
think
mr.
M
Gardner
implied
and
with
all
due
respect
to
councillor
wong-tam
I
do
not
share
her
view
and
I'm,
quoting
that
the
new
above-ground
district
Station
is
a
visual
blight
on
the
narrow
green
frontage
code.
It
is
a
massive
structure
with
the
footprint
measuring
just
over
2
by
3
meters
and
soaring
1.5
meters
in
height.
From
my
perspective,
at
1.8
meters,
tall
I
don't
consider
1.5
soaring,
maybe
an
80,
Story,
Tower
and
the
town
is
soaring,
but
not
1.5
meters.
M
Number
to
achieve
equitable
distribution
so
achieve
adequate
distribution
of
the
urban
forests,
increasing
canopy,
where
it
is
most
needed
and
for
those
of
us
who
live
downtown.
Certainly,
we
need
more
canopy,
not
less.
An
increasing
biodiversity
is
objective.
Number
three,
basically
is
increased
biodiversity
to
improve
the
urban
forest
resiliency
and
respond
to
climate
change.
Number
four
increase
awareness,
increase,
awareness
of
the
value
of
trees,
the
natural
environment
and
the
sensitivity
of
these
resources.
M
The
new
location
is
much
closer
to
the
church
and
it
is
much
closer
to
the
new
structure
going
up
on
Roxboro
the
the
residents
have
already
talked
about
the
the
the
arborist
report
and
III
a
co,
their
concerns
about
the
basically
the
destruction
of
roughly
one
third
of
this
mature
canopy.
There
is
no
mention
of
this
cost.
B
Just
to
give
you
an
idea:
I
live
where
the
dot
is
right
there
and
was
mine.
Is
my
neighbor
on
the
left
and
M
Rita's,
my
neighbor
on
the
right
and
Jennifer
Bishop
is
just
down
there.
They've
all
given
me
permission
to
speak
on
their
behalf.
Emerita
and
Jennifer
could
not
be
here
to
give
you
an
idea
when
I've
been
in,
they
I
bought
the
house
in
2015
and
when
I
bought
the
house
and
I'm
directly
across
the
street,
from
where
the
box
is.
This
is
oops.
O
B
Lived
there
so
I've
had
the
house
since
2015
and
part
of
me
buying.
The
house
was
the
view
that
I
had
and
then
now
I'm
stuck
with
this
view.
I've
also
been
involved
in
this
process
since
2017
as
an
I
attended,
a
meeting
with
that
counselor
wong-tam
and
Ambridge
representatives
in
the
ABC
residence
Association
to
discuss
the
burial
or
move
or
movement
of
that
box.
B
Following
the
meeting
I
was
told
that
the
relocation
to
the
southeast
corner
of
the
of
the
park
had
been
agreed
to
by
the
city
and
Enbridge
funds
were
going
to
be
used
out
of
the
whatever
I
think
is
sections
37
funds
we're
basically
developers
pay
into
that
fund
and
Ambridge
to
share
the
cost
and
not
city
tax
dollars
to
move
it
into
the
back
corner.
It's
been
two
years
and
nothing
has
been
done.
The
area
that
that
box
takes
up
is
it
12.7
square
meters,
including
all
of
the
Bullards
which
surround
it.
B
It's
a
massive
structure
right
in
front
of
my
house,
I
used
to
walk
my
dog
across
the
street
I
play
with
my
three-year-old
daughter
across
the
street.
It
is
my
main
access
is
how
I'd
walk
into
the
park.
There's
been
a
lot
of
objection
being
way
about
the
back
corner
and
how
terrible
it
is
that
there's
going
to
be
some
trees
loss.
B
These
three
trees
here
that
look
like
one
tree
almost
is
our
three
of
the
trees
that
are
being
destroyed
so
there's
four
trees,
apparently
that
are
that
are
being
taken
down
these
ones
that
leaned
over
the
back
part
of
the
Church
of
the
the
Krishna
church
that
church,
that
is
the
back
corner
of
the
church.
There
are
no
windows
there.
Nobody
walks
in
that
corner
and,
as
you
can
see
the
where
the
it
comes
out
that
area
in
there
of
that
Park
is
completely
unused.
B
It's
got
garbage
in
there
their
wheels
attached
to
the
to
the
tree.
Nobody
goes
in
that
corner.
Everybody
plays
in
the
center
of
the
park
and
there
are
lots
of
people
that
do,
and
so
there's
no
there's
no
reason
why
that
that
would,
at
the
end
of
the
day
when
they
first
did,
this
Enbridge
put
it
there
because
it
was
already
buried
there
and
it
was
convenient
and
didn't
discuss
with
anybody
why
it
would
be
better
than
where
would
there
be
a
better
place
to
put
it
had
they
discussed
it?
B
It's
almost
obvious
that
this
would
have
been
the
appropriate
corner
that
affects
the
least
amount.
Isn't
visual,
isn't
isn't
really
visible
to
anybody
around
there?
None
of
the
residents.
You
know
the
resident
that
runs
perpendicular
to
the
to
the
park
and
the
people
across
the
street.
You
couldn't
see
it
so
I
mean
at
the
end
of
the
day.
B
The
fact
that
there's
trees
being
moved
from
here,
I
really
don't
see
them
contributing
significantly
to
the
canopy
of
the
park
where
people
actually
are.
But
I
do
appreciate
that
the
people
on
the
south
side
of
the
street
and
I
sympathize
with
them
will
endure
more
construction
and
when
I
moved
into
the
house,
there
was
a
significant
construction
for
some
period
of
time.
That
is
the
you
know
it's
unfortunate,
but
we
have
a
community
and
they're
more
than
a
few
people
there,
and
this
will
live
on.
B
B
Final
thought
is,
this
was
agreed
to.
It
should
have
been
moved,
I'm
very
disappointed
that
it
was
that
this
process
is
already
two
years
in
the
making
it
hasn't
started.
I
feel
like
the
best
interests
of
the
we
have
to
think
about
the
future
community,
not
just
the
community
right
now.
Is
it
a
thank
you
very
much.
P
Name
is
Bill
piers
I
live
on
piers
having
you,
but
a
block
away
from
the
the
park.
This
this
gas
main
is
just
one
of
many
okay.
They
seem
to
be
sprouting
all
over
the
city,
particularly
in
the
downtown
area
where
I
live.
Okay,
they
are
a
blight
on
the
neighborhood
they're,
a
blight
on
the
city.
Okay,
there's
no
public
consultation.
This
these
things
just
go
in
okay.
P
I
reaiiy
don't
this:
it's
typical
of
Enbridge,
okay,
they've,
taken
over
our
parks,
they're
taking
over
our
public
spaces
they're
taking
over
our
sidewalks,
it's
it's,
and
without
any
public
consultation.
We
probably
wouldn't
be
here
today.
Okay
had
em
bridge
at
least
notified
the
neighbors
notified
the
residents
in
the
area
and
said
look.
This
is
what
we're
planning
on
doing.
We
would
have
then
had
maybe
the
discussion,
but
no
we're
having
it
now,
okay
and
we're
faced
with
the
big
bill.
Okay,
we
could
have
done
this.
P
The
city
needs
to
get
a
handle
on
this
thing.
Okay,
III
just
like
to
sort
of
just
talk
about
BAE
and
Bloor.
Okay.
This
is
one
of
the
premiere
or
the
premier
shopping
area
in
Toronto.
Okay,
Umbridge
is
decided.
Okay,
without
any
consultation
put.
They
put
a
gas
main
on
three
of
the
four
corners:
okay,
north
north
north
east,
south
east,
okay
and
south
west,
okay,
and
of
approximately
100
yards
from
there.
P
Okay,
there's
another
gas
main
mm-hmm,
okay
on
something
called
the
festival
walkway,
which
is
the
the
only
entrance
from
bore
Street
to
Yorkville
Park.
Okay.
This
sits
right
in
the
middle
of
the
walkway.
Now
the
the
ones
on
we
spent
I,
don't
know
many
millions
of
dollars,
fixing
a
Bloor,
Street.
Okay,
Toronto
thinks
of
themselves
as
a
world-class
City.
P
Okay,
I
used
to
live
in
New
York,
okay,
I
write,
I
visit,
New
York,
regularly,
okay,
I,
walk
down,
Fifth
Avenue,
I'll,
walk
down,
Madison,
Avenue
I,
don't
see
gas
mains
I,
don't
know
where
they
are,
but
I
don't
see
gas
mains.
And
yet
we
seem
to
think
that
it's
fine
to
put
these
gas
mains
on
our
streets.
Okay,
now
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
one
example
where
in
fact
there
may
be
some
hope.
Okay,
I
know.
If
you
can
see
this
or
not,
but
this
is
this
is
manual
Life
Center.
P
They
just
opened
up
to
sidewalk,
and
there
used
to
be
a
gas
main
here.
I
couldn't
believe
it
I
said
where
the
hell
did
it
go.
Well,
they
buried
it
in
the
inside
of
the
building.
Okay,
they
put
it
inside
this
and
they've
now
put
structure
there.
I
guess
manual,
life
decided
they
didn't
want
this
ugly
thing
sitting
outside
one
hundred
million
dollars,
one
hundred
and
whatever
a
million
dollar
renovation
sitting
on
their
sidewalk.
P
P
When
I
asked
the
the
planner
of
the
area
or
antemer
back
in
2013,
he
says:
don't
worry,
okay,
it's
going
to
be
buried!
Okay
in
the
north
wall
of
the
new
tower,
okay,
beside
the
old
Four
Seasons,
okay,
there's
gonna
be
a
little
Plaza
and
it's
gonna
be
buried
there.
Well,
this
year,
I
contacted
and
I
asked
Thor
and
I
said:
when
is
it
going
to
be
moved?
He
says
good
question:
I'll
contact
the
developer.
P
Two
weeks
later
came
back
and
Kevin
Friedreich's
wrote,
wrote
to
me,
and
he
said:
well,
it's
not
feasible
anymore,
deported
to
put
it
in
the
the
alcove
and
therefore
we're
gonna
put
it
in
the
middle
of
the
of
the
plaza
okay
in
the
inn
which
is
going
to
be
between
the
two
towers.
Okay,
this
is
where
it's
going
right
now.
Okay,
this
it
was
going
to
be
buried
in
in
the
in
the
north
wall
of
that
tower.
On
the
right
hand,
side
now,
they've
decided,
though
there's
not
a
good
idea.
P
They
don't
it's
not
feasible
I,
don't
know
why
it's
not
feasible.
Okay,
I've
contacted
the
planners,
I've
contacted
ABC,
okay,
the
BIA,
then
the
counsellors
office.
Okay,
we
have
not
heard
anything
back.
Okay
looks
like
they're
just
continuing
on
this
was
this.
The
site
plan
was
approved
back
in
2013
now
they're
looking
to
amend
that
bill.
P
D
I'm
going
to
read
to
you
from
my
letter,
which
I
think
is
probably
the
best
thing
for
me
to
do
today.
I
wrote
a
letter
about
the
bunker
in
J,
Macpherson
Park
and
when
construction
started,
I
wondered
what
they
were
doing
and
since
I
walked
by
there
on
a
daily
basis.
I
live
on
mobber,
just
steps
away
from
the
park,
I
love
to
turning
the
corner
onto
the
laneway
and
being
able
to
see
the
park
straight
ahead
of
me.
D
It
always
filled
me
with
a
calm
feeling
and
wonderment
of
a
little
piece
of
Eden
right
here
in
our
neighborhood,
in
contrast
to
the
hustle
and
bustle
only
feet
away.
I
walked
my
dog
and
previous
dogs
in
the
park
and
would
often
sit
on
the
bench
with
her
on
my
knee
and
we
would
watch
the
world
go
by
surrounded
by
trees,
grass,
Birds
and
content
that
all
was
well
with
the
world.
D
Unfortunately,
I
became
ill
with
pneumonia
and
had
to
be
hospitalized.
Recovery
was
long
and
difficult.
I
was
glad
to
have
survived
and
to
be
able
to
go
and
sit
in
the
park.
Sitting
was
a
big
part
of
recovery,
as
I
couldn't
walk
for
too
long.
The
park
was
always
there.
Then
the
construction
started
and
I
couldn't
figure
out
what
they
were
doing
on
many
occasions,
I
asked
the
workers.
What
are
you
doing?
What
is
that?
D
There
was
always
a
duty
police
officer
on
site
who
would
shush
me
away
and
a
supervisor
I
think
I
think
they
wear
the
white
hats,
who
would
say:
oh
you're,
gonna
love
it
and
I
danced
well.
What
is
it
you're
gonna
bury
it
aren't.
You
I
now
feel
very
guilty
that
I
didn't
have
the
energy
to
pursue
it
at
the
time
now.
I
am
so
upset
by
this
ugly
intrusion
into
our
beautiful
Park.
D
D
We
can't
replace
the
tranquility
and
a
sense
of
community
and
well-being
just
sitting
there
and
being
quiet
or
watching
the
world
go
by
this
mountain
monstrosity
will
be
there
forever
unless
it's
relocated,
an
Enbridge
knew
exactly
what
they
were
doing,
but
they
forged
ahead,
hoping
no
one
would
notice
or
complain.
They
need
to
learn
a
lesson
that
you
just
can't
get
away
with
doing
whatever
you
want,
not
considering
the
consequences.
I'll
bet,
none
of
the
engineers
supervisors
and
workers
have
to
look
at
this
daily
I'll
bet.
D
E
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
when
you
had
approached
the
workers
on
site-
and
you
want-
and
you
sought
to
get
more
information
about
what
was
being
installed,
they
it
didn't
sound
like
they
were
very
helpful.
Did
they
give
you
any
indication
of
what
was
going
to
be
installed
in
the
park?
No.
D
No,
that
would
just
be
the
duty
police
officer
would
be
you
know
the
guy
in
the
white
hat,
would
sort
of
you
go,
get
rid
of
her
right
and
he'd
come
over
and
say
ma'am,
you
have
to
move.
You
can't,
but
I
want
to
see
what
you're
doing.
No,
you
can't
come
over
here,
it's
dangerous!
You
have
to
leave
about
three
occasions
same
thing.
Every
time
I
tried
to
go,
I
was
just
rushed
away.
E
D
E
And
then,
finally,
because
Enbridge
gas
is
also
a
public
utility
and
recognizing
that
there
was
not
adequate
notification
provided
to
the
local
residents.
Even
when
you
proactively
try
to
get
information,
it
sounded
like
they
were
not
going
to
give
it
to
you,
nor
that
they
even
direct
you
to
a
notification
any
notice.
They
gave
you
a
zero
hint
on
what
was
being
constructed.
Is
that
correct?
That
is.
D
A
You
any
other
questions,
no
Pam.
Thank
you
very
much.
Are
there
any
other
members
of
the
public
who
want
to
make
a
presentation
to
the
committee
if
you
could
come
up
and
identify
yourselves
to
the
clerk's
here,
just
please
this
season,
these
cooks
put
up
their
hands,
so
people
can
see
where
you
are.
You
could
just
tell
the
clerks
that
you'd
like
to
make
a
deputation.
O
Perfect,
thank
you
good
morning.
Everyone.
My
name
is
Ian
Carmichael
and
I'm.
The
co-president
of
the
ABC
residents
Association,
one
of
the
oldest
residents
Association
in
the
City
of
Toronto.
Funnily
enough,
the
history
of
ABC
is
intimately
tied
to
parks,
preservation
and
trees.
Our
residents
association
was
founded
in
1957
for
the
purpose
of
saving.
What
is
now
ramsden
Park
from
the
development
of
two
high-rise
towers.
Since
that
time,
our
many
volunteers
over
the
years
have
worked
selflessly
to
improve
our
community.
O
We've
been
involved
in
many
Park
improvements
in
our
neighborhood,
including
Ramsden,
Jessie,
catchin,
Jamie,
first
and
Frank's,
taller
II,
as
well
as
some
of
the
other
ones.
As
you
all
know,
our
neighborhood
has
been
at
the
epicenter
of
intensification.
Over
the
past
15
years,
tens
of
thousands
of
new
units
have
come
into
our
neighborhood,
and
with
this
we
have
increased
demand
on
our
parks,
as
well
as
our
public
realm,
since
they
have
to
be
shared
by
so
many
more
residents.
So
here
we
find
ourselves
defending
and
protecting
the
public
space
in
our
neighborhood.
O
O
O
The
correct
solution
really
is
to
vulture
bury
the
installation
at
its
current
location,
something
that
an
independent
engineer
we
consulted
say
is
absolutely
achievable
and
safe.
The
problem
is,
of
course,
money
and
it's
cheaper
to
have
it
above
ground,
so
they
want
to
they're.
Basically,
gonna
we're
gonna
bear
the
cost
of
their
ugly
installation
in
our
public
park,
so
they
can
save
money.
O
The
cost
to
move.
This
is
not
small
but
the,
but
the
cost
to
not
move.
This
is
much
greater
frankly.
This
is
something
that
the
community
will
have
to
live
with
forever.
Of
course,
we
do
not
want
this
relocation
to
damage
the
trees
in
the
park.
As
it's
been
mentioned
previously,
most
of
the
trees
in
the
park
that
are
being
damaged
are
in
this
back
corner.
As
you
can
see,
Fiat
three
of
them
are
leaning
severely,
and
one
of
them
is
only
in
fair
condition.
No
one's
cares
more
about
trees
than
ABC.
O
We
are
not
willfully
damaging
trees,
but
we
think
there's
a
greater
benefit
in
moving
this
and
replanting
the
park
than
living
with
it.
For
the
rest
of
our
days,
the
corner
of
the
park
that
the
installation
will
be
relocated
to
is
derelict
I
mean
you
can
look.
You
can
see
that
it's
a
collection
of
garbage
bike
tires
wine,
rack
and
also
assorted
debris.
We
realize
we
recognize,
however,
that
further
construction
will
be
disrupted
to
those
living
with
with
the
park,
and
we
think
that
this
short
term
pain
is
worth
the
long-term
game.
O
In
the
end,
this
discussion
should
be
about
the
collective
interest
and
the
long
term
planning
is.
It
was
over
the
past
years
after
many
meetings
with
city
staff,
our
councillors
and
executives,
Emery
gasps.
All
parties
came
to
the
conclusion
that
it
was
in
the
best
interest
of
the
community
that
this
large
and
imposing
box
be
relocated
to
a
less
prominent
area
of
the
park
where
it
will
not
detract
from
its
beauty
and
the
enjoyment
of
this
little
amount
of
green
space
in
our
country.
O
A
L
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
letting
me
speak.
My
name
is
Lee
Ann
Miller
and
I
reside
at
one-one-one,
McPherson
Avenue,
where
I've
lived
for
27
years.
I
am
also
on
the
board
of
the
ABC
residents.
Association
I
was
appalled
to
see
the
Ambridge
district
station,
the
bunker
as
we
refer
to
it
pop
up
in
the
park
in
early
2017.
As
you
know,
by
now
it's
a
small
park
and
the
bunker
is
right
beside
both
the
sidewalk
and
the
walkway
through
the
park.
As
you
can
see
in
these
photos,.
L
Okay,
the
photo
doesn't
I
mean
it's
hard
to
actually
take
from
the
photo.
What
the
size
of
the
box
is.
So
it's
actually
one.
We
measured
it
1.62
meters
tall,
which
is
taller
than
me
three
point:
three:
five
meters
long
and
2pi
2.54
meters
wide
the
bollards
around
the
bunker,
extend
the
length
along
McPherson
Avenue
to
five
point:
seven:
nine
eaters.
L
It
occupies
a
disproportionate
amount
of
actual
and
visual
space
in
a
prominent
area
of
our
small
park.
I
started
to
investigate
how
the
bunker
could
have
been
installed
in
this
location
and
discovered
the
municipal
consent
requirements
that
govern
utility
installations
in
the
right
away
through
access
to
information.
Requests
of
the
city.
I
found
that
Enbridge
grout
gas
in
the
city
did
not
follow
the
process
specified
specified
in
the
EM
CRS.
L
Those
requirements
specifically
provide
that
a
full
stream
application
process
for
the
construction
of
new
surface
infrastructure
involving
the
relocation,
removal
or
alteration
of
adjacent
adjacent
infrastructure
is
required.
So
that's
a
full
stream
is
required.
The
Enbridge
district
station
did
not
did
not
use
a
full
stream
process.
They
used
a
short
stream
process
which
did
not
require
the
additional
considerations
and
levels
of
review
that
would
have
and
I'm,
quoting
included
consideration
to
reducing
the
negative
visual
impact
to
passing
motorists,
pedestrians
and
adjacent
property
owners.
L
So
Ambridge
did
not
do
that
because
the
full
stream
process
was
not
followed.
The
requirements
also
provide
notifications
for
all
properties
that
will
face
or
have
a
line
of
sight
to
the
proposed
plant
that
written
written
notification
states
that
it
shall
clearly
describe
the
size,
appearance
and
location
of
the
proposed
plant.
L
While
I
understand
Enbridge
did
provide
some
form
of
notification.
It
did
not
specify
the
exact
location
in
the
park.
It
did
not
describe
a
box
as
large
as
what
was
installed,
and
it
did
not
mention
that
it
would
be
surrounded
by
bollards
that
amplify
the
visual
size
of
the
installation.
The
requirements
state
that
any
construction
activity
in
the
vicinity
of
trees
shall
be
carried
out
in
strict
compliance
with
the
specified
tree
protection
policy.
L
Ambridge
did
not
comply
with
this
policy
and,
while
digging
injured
a
tree
to
the
extent
that
it
ultimately
had
to
be
removed,
the
city
actually
had
to
issue
a
stop
work
order
and
required
Enbridge
to
apply
for
a
permit
to
destroy
a
tree
which,
at
that
point,
was
beyond
saving
our
councilor
at
that
time.
Wong-Tam
objected
to
this
tree
removal.
L
So
why
do
I
review
all
this
history?
Because
these
failures
to
adhere
to
the
process
have
left
us
left
us
with
this
massive
bunker
in
all
our
small
Park?
It
should
never
have
been
installed
in
this
location
and
I
believe
the
requisite
processes
would
have
required
Ambridge
to
find
a
more
appropriate
location
for
the
bunker.
The
board's
around
the
box
are
required
to
protect
the
district
station
because
it's
beside
a
busy
street
the
ballers
will
not
be
required
if
the
district
station
is
moved
to
the
corner.
We
are
also
concerned
about
this.
L
Look
the
current
location
from
a
safety
perspective.
There
have
been
incidents
where
gas
pipes
in
the
right-of-way
have
been
hit
by
vehicles
causing
evacuations
and
damage.
In
fact,
in
considering
rules
relating
to
the
placement
of
utility
installations.
In
the
public
way,
right-of-way
on
May
22nd,
2018,
City
Council
passed
a
motion
that
requested
the
Ontario
Energy
Board
and
the
CRTC
to
review
and
update
their
safety
standards
for
above
and
below
grade
utility
infrastructure,
I'm
wondering
if
this
request
has
been
made
and
whether
any
such
review
has
been
conducted.
L
L
D
D
Leanne's
colleagues,
on
the
board
of
the
ABC
residents
Association,
then
little
did
we
know
in
2017,
where
we
responded
to
emails,
asking
us
what
was
happening
in
J
McPherson
green,
the
challenging
two-and-a-half
years
ahead
of
us
less.
Did
we
anticipate
that
solving
that
community
problem
might
need
lead
to
others?
As
ian
has
said,
it
was
really
Umbridge
gas
that
has
led
us
all
here
today
they
can
read
the
municipal
consent
regulations
that
govern
them,
but
they
chose
the
fast
and
easy
way
rather
than
the
respectful,
safe
and
considerate
way.
D
We
hope
they
have
learned
a
lesson
from
this.
We
should
put
the
Ambridge
folly
back
in
the
vault
from
whence
it
emerged
and
failing
that
we
should
relocate
it
to
the
rear
corner,
it's
the
best
and
least
intrusive
place
for
it
to
be.
Yes,
there
will
be
short-term
pain,
but
it
is
best
for
the
long
term
decision
and
and
of
the
community
I
understand.
Representatives
of
Ember
gas
are
here
today.
I
hope
they
are
hanging
their
heads
in
shame
at
the
disruption
they
have
caused
and,
as
mr.
D
prepares
demonstrated
earlier,
continue
to
cause
I
want
for
a
minute
to
address
the
issue
of
cost
costs
and
dollars
cost
to
our
public
space
and
cost
to
our
public
safety.
There
is
no
doubt
in
my
mind
that
Ambridge
should
be
footing
the
bill
to
move
the
bunker,
but
let
us
for
a
moment
look
at
the
few
of
the
other
costs
resulting
from
Ambridge
gases.
Policies.
I'd
like
you
to
have
a
look
at
a
couple
of
headlines
from
press
in
the
last
year.
D
D
The
street
was
closed
for
six
hours
and
the
residents
the
senior
citizens
living
in
that
facility
were
in
the
dark,
without
electricity
for
about
another
five
here
again,
very
similarly
in
a
different
neighborhood
but
the
same
story,
a
car
crashing
into
another
of
their
installations
near
a
street.
In
both
cases,
the
neighborhoods
were
closed
to
car
and
pedestrian
traffic
for
many
hours,
police,
fire
and
ambulances
were
called.
D
No
one
was
hurt,
but
clearly
these
pipes
should
not
be
placed
next
to
busy
roads
like
Avenue
Road
and
what
was
the
cost
of
a
taxpayer
of
these
incidences.
Hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
were
those
costs
charged
back
to
amperage
gas,
I,
think
not,
and
how
about
the
cost
of
public
space
Jamie
McPherson
Green
is
only
one
of
the
sad
examples
and
you
have
seen
some
that
were
showed
to
you
earlier.
D
The
practice
of
placing
the
gas
installations
in
front
of
buildings
on
sidewalks
in
public
space
and
near
roads
such
as
the
location
of
Jamie
McPherson
Green,
must
be
stopped
in
Reverse
other
major
cities
either
bury
these
underground
or
place
them
in
innocuous
locations,
inaccessible
and
invisible
to
the
general
public.
They
do
not
to
face
the
public
realm,
nor
are
there
any
concerns
that
they
will
be
hit
by
a
vehicle,
Ambridge,
I'm
sure
you're.
D
Here
today
we
understand
you
have
a
job
to
do
to
get
the
gas
to
our
homes
and
businesses,
but
you
also
have
a
responsibility
to
improve
your
corporate
practice
and
pay
more
respect
and
attention
to
the
consequences
of
your
actions.
You
have
an
obligation
to
live
up
to
your
stated
corporate
social
responsibility,
tenants
and
corporate
values
that
state
safety,
integrity
and
respect
so
that
everyone
in
our
neighborhood
and
Beyond
can
enjoy
a
safe,
aesthetically,
pleasing
and
livable
community.
We
hope
that
City
Council
will
make
sure
and
makes
make
no
mistakes.
D
A
D
A
F
F
This
situation
predates
my
involvement,
but
in
speaking
with
the
previous
local
councillor,
it's
clear
that
for
years,
the
community
and
the
local
councillor
at
the
time
councillor
long
time
explored
other
options
trying
to
address
this
issue
with
Enbridge
in
order
to
help
ease
some
of
the
concerns
of
the
community
over
what
is
a
significant
utility
infrastructure
infrastructure
installation
in
a
city
park.
Now,
after
these
years
of
work,
this
was
the
option
they
came
up
with.
F
As
you've
heard,
there
will
be
an
easement
on
the
site.
But
if
you
look
at
the
diagram
in
the
report,
the
easement
is
limited
and
that
is
underground
for
most
of
the
site
and
the
size
that
the
physical
size
of
the
installation
could
be
reduced
as
a
result
of
it
moving
locations
to
a
less
central
part
of
the
park.
A
green
space
is
at
a
premium
in
every
neighborhood
in
our
community,
but
none
more
than
neighborhoods
that
are
experiencing
significant
development
pressure.
Abc
is
probably
one
of
the
fastest
growing
neighborhoods.
F
If
you,
if
you
take
its
wider
boundaries
with
the
York
Feld
Yorkville
neighborhood
in
in
the
country,
we're
constantly
looking
for
green
space,
but
we
can't
invent
anymore
and
oftentimes.
We
can't
outbid
developers
for
that
space,
so
we're
left
with
trying
to
squeeze
the
most
out
of
the
limited
green
space.
We
have.
F
This
installation
came
as
a
shock
for
everyone
and
I
think
it
taught
the
city
and
I
think
it
taught
Enbridge
some
and
the
community,
but
but
mostly
and
more
importantly,
Ambridge
in
the
city.
Some
pretty
significant
lessons
about
how
we
should
treat
approvals
for
these
installations.
They
cannot
be
taken
lightly.
F
F
Unfortunately,
if
it's
moved,
it's
also
this.
This
isn't
the
last
stage
in
the
approval
process
and
all
commit
to
continuing
to
try
to
explore
other
options.
But
if
we
are
gonna
take
this
option
through,
then
we
need
to
get
on
with
making
this
approval
and
it
was
years
in
the
making.
If
there
is
another
option,
we'll
work
with
community
to
try
to
see
and
see
see
what
we
can
implement,
but
I
think
we're
wet
when
we're
weighing
things
like
the
preciousness
of
public
and
green
space.
F
When
we
weigh
those
with
some
of
the
impacts
around
the
easement
in
the
future,
the
tree
canopy
that
will
be
impacted,
I,
should
say
I.
We
will
work
to
try
to
limit
that
impact
as
much
as
possible.
In
my
experience
and
I'm
sure,
other
councillors
have
experienced
this
to
forestry
when
they
write
reports
seem
to
be
far
far
more
eager
to
fire
up
the
chainsaws
than
when
you
actually
go
on
to
the
ground
and
and
look
at
what
needs
to
be
removed,
we'll
work
with
them
on
that
and
protect
what
we
can.
F
But
when
you
have
to
weigh
between
those
things,
I've
heard
loud
and
clear
from
the
residents
Association
that
this
is
a
direction
they
still
would
like
to
pursue,
but
they're
not
closing
doors
if
we
can
get
Enbridge
to
consider,
lowering
or
making
the
installation
less
intrusive
in
its
current
location,
and
so
we
will
try
to
continue
those
discussions.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
local
city
councilor
for
taking
I,
think
what
must
have
been
a
very
difficult
decision
at
the
time
in
response
to
a
very,
very
difficult
situation.
F
E
Thank
you
and
I
want
to
spend
just
acknowledge
the
the
deputies
who
came
out
today.
Thank
you
very
much
for
for
coming
out
to
sharing
the
the
wide
range
of
opinions.
I
recognize
that
there
is
quite
that
that
conversation
in
the
process
that
we've
all
been
stuck
in,
especially
with
the
new
local
councillor,
is
not
ideal.
But
coming
back
to
one
particular
point
that
was
raised
and
I
think
it
needs
to
be
highlighted
again
and
again
is
around
the
process
and
I
think
that
many
of
the
deputies
did
speak
to
that.
E
The
the
process
around
locating
utilities
above-ground
has
taken
not
just
this
neighborhood
by
surprise,
but
many
neighborhoods
by
surprise.
I
have
seen
ugly
infrastructure
pop
up
in
front
of
brand-new
condominium
towers,
as
well
as
commercial
buildings
in
the
blurry
oval
area
and
the
downtown
communities
along
the
entertainment
district,
wherever
you
can
think
of.
E
After
putting
it
all
that
time
and
effort
to
beautify
the
streets
to
put
in
the
public
realm
investments,
utility
companies,
somehow
pops
up
afterwards
and
places
a
very
large
structure
onto
the
public
sidewalk
that
you've
actually
just
spent
millions
of
dollars,
including
granite
on
in
blue
Yorkville,
without
any
consideration
or
conversation
with
anyone.
This
has
been
to
the
much
to
the
anger
of
I,
know
developers
who've
actually
protested
and
raised
their
concerns.
This
has
now
happened
on
the
lawns
of
important
religious
organizations
in
the
Midtown
community,
much
to
the
chagrin
of
those
those
communities.
E
It
has
now
happened
in
this
small,
very
intimate
little
pocket
park
of
the
city
and
and
I
think
that
you
know
it
really
highlights
a
absolute
disrespect
to
civic
spaces
in
our
urban
environment.
If
we
had
acres
and
acres
of
parkland
here
that
that
that
this
that
this
structure
popped
up
in
front
of,
maybe
we
wouldn't
have
the
same
tension.
E
What
I
think
is
important
for
residents
to
note
is
that,
because
of
your
advocacy,
even
though
it
may
seem
like
a
distance
now,
is
that
the
City
of
Toronto
is
actually
put
forward
a
and
adopted
the
universal
equipment
placement
guidelines
in
2018,
and
what
that
did
was
that
actually
improve
the
accountability
in
the
utility
cut
process
as
well.
So,
therefore,
now
in
the
new
process,
local
communities
have
to
be
given
much
greater
notification.
There
is
actually
a
requirement
on
the
utility
companies
to
describe
in
detail.
E
What
is
the
physical
structure
that's
going
to
be
placed
out
in
the
public
realm?
They
have
to
give
a
rationale
of
why
they
are
suggesting
that
particular
location.
They
also
have
to
give
a
backup
rationale
to
explain
the
process
of.
Is
there
an
alternative
space
that
can
go
to
so?
Therefore,
it's
not
just
this.
Is
it
and
there's
no
and
there's
no
other
consideration
it's.
This
is
our
first
choice.
E
This
will
be
our
second
choice
as
a
backup
and
and
I
can
tell
you
that
staff
worked
really
hard
to
negotiate
this
with
the
utility
companies
and
even
then
there
was
significant
pushback
from
the
utility
companies,
because
they
don't
see
that
as
their
core
business.
Maintaining
beauty
in
our
parks
and
public
spaces
is
not
their
core
business.
E
They
see
their
core
business
as
basically
delivering
service
to
the
households
and
businesses
that
need
it,
and
what
we
wanted
to
do
is
make
sure
that
we
can
actually
melt
the
two
together,
and
so
that
was
a
direct
policy
outcome
that
came
out
of
this.
What
I
call
a
public
relations
disaster
for
Enbridge
gas,
even
though
it
looks
like
the
City
of
Toronto
is
wearing
significant
portions
of
it,
but
that
was
a
significant
structural
process
fix
that
came
out
of
it
afterwards
and
so
to
that.
E
I
want
to
tip
my
hat
to
ABC
residents
associations,
because
you
worked
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
the
staff
understood
what
the
required
changes
would
be
needed
to
fix
this
process
in
the
long
run,
and
then
to
thank
the
counselor
counselor
Layton
for
carrying
this
process
through
to
the
very
end.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
other
members
who
wish
to
speak
to
the
item?
No,
we
have
a
motion
to
adopt
the
staff
recommendations
in
front
of
us
all.
Those
in
favor
opposed
that
carries
members
first
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
presence
in
the
committee
room
of
a
former
member
and
chair
of
this
committee.
Janet
Davis
is
here
hello,
Janet
welcome
back
I'm
sure
you
have
lots
of
wisdom
to
share
with
us
today.
A
A
E
A
E
Thank
you.
This
is
a
motion
that
that
adds
on
top
of
the
previous
amendments
I
made
and
and
at
this
particular
stage
at
the
pre
luminary
reporting
stage.
I
want
to
ask
the
City
Council
director
applicant
to
state
an
all
marketing
document,
all
marketing
materials,
condominium,
disclosure
documents
and
sales
agreements
that
the
future
owner,
tenant
or
sublet
tenant
or
any
other
occupant
or
guests
will
not
be
pretty,
will
be
prohibited
from
applying
for
on-street
permit
parking
and
that
the
building
will
be
excluded
from
any
on-street
permit
specified
area.
E
We
I'm
doing
this
at
the
upfront
stage.
It
has
been
extremely
challenging
to
catch
every
application
downstream.
I
think
that
if
members
want
a
copy
of
this
motion,
let's
circulate
it,
you
can
name
it
whatever
you
want,
but
I
am
recognizing
that
in
the
in
the
new
ward
13,
there
were
a
number
of
buildings
that,
especially
in
the
West
Don
lands
community
in
the
Corktown
community
that
were
not
necessarily
excluded,
so
we
now
want
to
get
in
front
of
it
and
not
be
caught
behind
it.
So
thank
you
very
much.
G
There
is
one
other
thing
that
often
happens
so
I'm,
not
sure
you're,
aware
of
where
a
development
that
comes
in
with
one
address
might
change
the
address
later
and
it
gets
lost.
So
would
you
be
willing
to
look
at
this
motion
to
say
and
include
any
further
address
changes?
Yes,
after
the
approval
of
the
development.
E
G
That's
that's
great
yeah.
No!
This
is
because
people
will
come
back
and
say:
I
didn't
know
that
so
you're
putting
the
onus
on
the
developer
on
the
real
estate
agent
on
anybody
who
has
a
contract
for
that
person
to
be
clear
when
they're
purchasing
that
that's
not
available
for
them
at
that
municipal
address
or
any
other
municipal
address
that
may
be
assigned
to
that
location.
Yes,.
E
G
A
A
Counts
are
Cressy.
Can
you
hold
your
questions
till
we
get
back
to
it
and
I
understand?
We
just
need
to
sort
something
out:
okay,
okay,
very
good,
so
we're
gonna
hold
this
one
down
counselor
by
Lao.
You
had
held
our
counselor
Bradford
at
held
items,
1011
and
40
on
your
behalf.
Are
we
ready
to
deal
with
those?
Yes
I.
A
E
E
A
L
A
A
Okay,
so
will
me
I
understand
the
forms
already
been
submitted
and
when
we
come
to
that,
we'll
make
sure
that
we
record
your
absence,
we're
not
doing
it
just
now,
we're
not
doing
it.
Just
now,
we've
got
a
whole
bunch
of
other
stuff
that
was
introduced
that
we
haven't
gotten
to
yet
councillor
Fletcher
had
held
item
five.
G
A
G
A
A
Q
Ahead,
so
thank
you.
My
name
is
Dominic
Russell
I'm,
the
co-chair
of
friends
at
Kensington,
Market
I,
just
have
a
few
things
to
say
about
it.
I
really
want
to
thank
the
planning
for
the
study
and
the
work,
and
also
the
consultation
that
went
into
this
we're
playing
catch-up
here.
Since
there
was
a
study
in
2015
that
sort
of
never
actually
came
to
fruition.
Q
When
you
get
a
homogenous
ation
of
just
a
bars
and
restaurants,
many
of
our
members,
friends
of
kensington,
would
like
to
see
a
moratorium
on
bars
and
restaurants.
That
is
no
new
bars
and
restaurants,
and
many
of
our
members
would
like
to
see
an
even
smaller
recommendation
of
70
metres,
which
is
what
the
average
size
is.
Q
However,
we
recognize
that
there
is
an
urgency
here
in
1991,
when
City
Council
put
through
the
bylaw
for
200
square
metres
there
they
were
looking
particularly
at
some
big
big
buildings
in
the
market
that
were
grocery
stores
or
retail,
that,
if
they
became
bars
or
restaurants,
would
make
a
huge
impact
on
residences.
Two
of
those
two
of
the
three
structures
are
up
for
rent.
So
we
recognize
that
there
is
an
urgency
to
to
doing
this.
Q
So
while
we
would
prefer
a
much
an
even
smaller
recommendation,
we
see
that
150
meters,
100
meters,
rather
is
a
is
a
good
compromise,
and
it
is
an
urgent
thing
to
be
to
happen
is
particularly
because
200
square
meters
is
just
too
large,
as
the
new
calculations
for
how
many
patrons
are
allowed
to
be
in
that
space.
We're
looking
at
322
residents,
which
is
a
constant
with
the
concentration
of
bars
that
we're
having
people
living
above
a
restaurant
or
a
bar
where
322
people
are
coming
out
in
the
evening.
Q
You
can
imagine
what
kind
of
impact
that
has
on
families
and
on
anyone
who
lives
above
these
bars
and
restaurants,
and
it
is
really
important
to
recognize
that
Kensington
Market
isn't
unlike
a
lot
of
the
retail
strips
in
the
in
the
city.
Although
a
lot
of
those
retail
strips
do
have
people
living
above,
there
is
a
very,
very
dense
mix
and
concentration.
So
this
is
a
very
important
bylaw
to
get
through
and
to
get
through
quickly.
We,
we
trust
that
the
Joint
Committee.
Q
We
also
appreciate
the
recommendation
that
there
be
a
community
committee
to
look
at
how
enforcement
happens
for
for
bars
and
restaurants.
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
is
one
measure
and
we
need
more
measures,
we're
still
waiting
for
the
Heritage
Conservation
District.
We
also
need
to
be
supporting
independent
businesses
and
I
know
that
there's
measures
being
considered
and
I
hope
that
those
will
be
made
quickly.
We
also
need
to
support
green
grocers
and
start
to
look
at
things
like
tax
breaks
for
green
grocers.
Q
This
is
something
that's
not
just
particular
to
Kensington
Market,
but
across
the
city.
It's
a
really
important
measure.
Kensington
Market
is
a
jewel
of
the
city.
It's
used
by
the
city
to
advertise
that
it's
a
great
place.
It's
our
historical
quarter,
it's
the
place
where
we
get
immigrants
and
and
eclectic
the
life
it's
really
important
to
the
city
and
there's
an
of
measures
that
need
to
be
taken.
This
is
one
step
and
we
appreciate
that
it
is
being
taken
today.
Q
A
F
Thank
you
very
much.
I'll
move
the
staff
recommendations
in
the
report.
This
speaks
to
and
Dominique
I
think
captured
it
well
our
need
within
Kensington
Market
to
protect
what
made
at
Kensington
Market,
and
it's
not
just
gonna,
be
with
restricting
the
size
of
restaurant
and
and
bar
space.
It's
going
to
be
with
protecting
some
of
the
built
heritage
elements
as
well
as
some
of
the
not
so
built
heritage,
elements
that
I
think
all
of
us
know.
If
you
grew
up
in
Toronto,
you
probably
have
a
different
vision
of
Kensington
Market.
F
Those
businesses
changed
those.
Those
business
has
changed
over
time,
but
now
we're
starting
to
get
to
the
cost,
impacting
the
the
soul
of
Kensington,
and
so
I
was
happy
to
put
forward
the
motion
that
that
brought
this.
That
brought
this
through
and
I
know
that
there's
been
some
some
requests
for
us
to
go
smaller
on
the
restaurant
size.
There's
been
some
requests
for
us
to
go
bigger.
That
typically
denotes
that
we
may
be
coming
up
the
middle
in
sort
of
the
right,
the
right
mix
of
for
the
right
size
requirement.
F
There
were
also
requests
for
a
maximum
number
of
restaurants
in
Kensington
block-by-block,
a
a
proximity
mechanism
to
to
restrict
restaurants
and
bars.
Those
were
ruled
out
and
I
think
for
very
good
reason
that
the
experience
in
councillor
perks,
Ward
was
that
it
actually
had
unforeseen
impacts
that
it
would.
They
could
potentially
hurt
some
businesses
that
were
trying
to
relocate
within
the
area
in
in
the
end
and
so
I'm
happy
that
staff
didn't
bring
forward
those
those
recommendations.
One
thing,
though,
and
and
had
at
some
urging
by
both
the
community
and
myself
what
is
included.
F
The
last
recommendation
is
to
us
to
undertake
a
study
around
around
limiting
chain
stores
in
Kensington,
Market
and
well.
I.
Don't
think
any
chain
store
dare
try
to
come
to
Kensington
Market,
as
they
have
in
the
past,
for
fear
of
significant
opposition.
I
think
it's.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
test
a
mechanism
to
see
if
it's
one
that
can
be
used,
a
planning
mechanism
that
can
be
used
in
some
jurisdictions,
so
I
look
forward
to
that
work.
F
You
could
safely
say
they're
some
of
the
more
challenging
meetings
to
facilitate
and
and
that's
not
nothing
against
the
wonderful
people
of
Kensington
Market.
It's
there
are
differing
viewpoints
and
and
and
which
can
be
difficult
to
manage.
Cai
did
a
fantastic
job
facilitating
this
meeting
with
under
the
supervision
of
milada,
NAND
and
others,
but
was
just
very
good
at
capturing
what
people
were
saying,
making
them
feel
heard,
and
then
he
did
all
the
research
behind
the
report
and
I
think
this
just
speaks
to
the
caliber
of
of
young
planners.
F
We
have
coming
up
through
Toronto
to
able
to
pull
something
able
to
pull
something
like
this
off
that
doesn't
have
a
list
of
80
speakers
all
with
differing
opinions
coming
from
Kensington
Market.
That
is
something
else
too
to
be
able
to
stick
handle
through.
So
congratulations,
CAI
and
please,
oh,
please
won't
you
apply
for
a
job
when
you
finish
your
your
master's
degree.
A
Okay,
I'm
I'm,
just
gonna,
quickly
speak
to
the
item
and
then
just
I
just
think
I
just
would
would
like
to
put
it
on
record
councillor.
Leighton
counselor,
Leighton
I,
just
like
to
put
it
on
record
councillor.
Leighton
I
would
just
like
to
put
it
on
the
record
that
in
fact,
the
final
staff
report
on
the
Queen
Street
Parkdale
concentration
cap
on
bars
deemed
it
a
success,
said
that
employment
was
up.
B
You
very
briefly,
just
as
the
the
former
councillor
here.
It's
it's
often
been
said
that
the
spirit
of
Kensington
Market
is
around
affordability.
Affordability
of
business
and
affordability
of
residential
that
notion,
tenting
to
market
being
a
place
for
all,
is
fundamentally
grounded
in
a
place
that
people
could
live
in
work.
There's
another
element
here,
as
we
talk
about
a
bar
and
restaurants,
to
study
around
the
spirit
of
Kensington
Market.
B
In
addition
to
affordability,
it's
also
being
that
it's
a
daytime
and
a
nighttime
market,
and
there
is
a
real
risk
and
I
think
why
some
of
the
measures
being
recommended
here.
I'm
supportive
odd,
is
that
the
balance
is
being
tipped
towards
nighttime
at
the
expense
of
daytime
in
a
healthy
neighborhood
has
both
and
so
I.
Think
as
it
relates
to
the
emeasure
in
front
of
us
here.
B
We're
trying
to
throw
every
planning
tool
in
the
toolbox
at
it
and
they're
all
necessary.
But
fundamentally
we
as
a
government
need
to
acknowledge
that
when
you're
dealing
with
downtown
neighborhoods,
rising
property,
values,
gentrification
and
the
associated
impacts,
intervention
in
the
market
is
what
is
necessary.
Intervention
in
the
housing
market
to
purchase
housing,
to
take
it
off
the
private
market
and
put
it
back
into
public
nonprofit
and
cooperative
ownership.
B
That's
intervention
in
the
housing
market
to
make
it
more
affordable,
an
intervention
in
the
commercial
market,
whether
that's
advocating
for
commercial
rent
controls
provincially,
whether
that's
looking
at
the
stick
approach
in
terms
of
planning
and
zoning
changes.
We
can
make
that
we're
dealing
with
here,
but
also
looking
at
the
carrot
approach
as
it
relates
to
a
real
conversation
around
commercial
bonusing,
such
as
rebate
programs
for
certain
types
of
business
that
otherwise
are
displaced,
and
so
this
is.
B
This
is
one
piece
of
a
big
puzzle
as
it
relates
to
building
affordable
neighborhoods
for
business
and
residents
in
drastically
increasing
property
value
neighborhoods.
But
it
requires
intervention,
intervention
and
market
forces,
and
this
is
one
of
those
components
and
I
want
to
congratulate
the
local
neighborhood
and
councillor
Layton
for
doing
what
I
didn't
get
done
and
putting
it
over
the
finish
line.
Thank
you.
C
Well,
yeah,
you
may
wonder
why
Midtown
counts,
there
wants
to
speak
on
the
side
of
them,
and
the
reason
is
is
because,
while
this
is
principally
a
really
special
downtown
community,
this
is
a
neighborhood
that
we
all
love
is
truant
onehans
and
I.
It's
one
of
the
go-to
areas.
If
I
have
a
friend
or
family
visiting
from
out
of
town
as
I
believe
many
of
us
do.
This
is
one
of
the
places
that
we
visit
and
we
want
to
show
off
Toronto
with,
because
it
is,
it
is
Toronto.
C
C
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
on
behalf
of
the
residents
in
Midtown
who
come
down
to
the
market
and
and
really
appreciate
what
it
has
to
offer.
We
love
you.
We
appreciate
both
the
local
residents
who
fight
for
the
place
that
we
love
and
to
the
local
councillor
and,
to
you
know,
councillor
crises,
you
know
valiant
efforts.
Obviously
councillor
Laden
was
able
to
do.
You
know,
do
do
much
more
with
what
he
had
but
but
but
to
both
of
you
all
what
is
keeping
score?
We
we
are
grateful.
Thank
you.

Matt

A
A
A
F
F
A
A
R
You
very
much
I
guess
it's
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
Ross
Strowger
I'm,
the
owner
of
175
Walmart
Road,
first
I'd,
just
like
to
thank
Council
for
allowing
the
deferral
this
hearing
last
month.
I
was
unable
to
make
it
due
to
the
one
week
of
notice,
so
here
today,
I
provided
some
comments
online
yesterday,
just
showing
an
email
that
I
sent
to
a
city
staff
back
on
June
June
10th
of
2019.
R
Additionally,
I
did
provide
additional
evidence
to
support
the
contention
from
both
the
ground
and
from
the
the
top
story
of
my
house.
The
city
staff
were
only
able
to
observe
the
tree
from
the
ground.
Again.
These
diseases
were
confirmed
by
The
Arbors.
That
I
did
hire
I.
Think
it's
worth
noting
in
the
staff
report
issued
that
none
of
these
symptoms
were
observed.
At
the
time
of
inspection,
I
was
able
to
arrange
for
an
on-site
meeting
on
June
27th
with
city
staff,
who
were
able
to
observe
these
symptoms.
R
However,
they
noted
at
the
time
that
these
diseases
were
not
terminable
and
therefore
didn't
meet
the
criteria
to
remove,
at
which
point
I
asked
what
exactly
the
criteria
was.
They
referred
to
a
checklist
which
I
asked
for
a
copy
of
today.
I
have
not
received
a
copy
of
that
checklist.
I
just
would
have
thought.
Transparency
would
have
been
important
in
this
process.
R
One
criteria
that
I
did
recall
from
that
conversation
was
that
the
tree
needed
to
be
66%
or
two-thirds
dead
in
order
to
meet
the
requirement
to
remove
I
suggested
at
the
time
that
it
was
probably
at
least
40%
dead,
and
there
was
no
disagreement
from
city
staff
at
that
time.
Just
some
general
context
on
this
tree
and
my
property.
As
noted
in
my
email,
it's
only
really
observed
by
a
small
group
of
houses
that
back
onto
a
dead-end
Lane
way
it
does.
R
Additionally,
based
on
the
location
of
the
tree,
it's
next
to
impossible
to
grade
the
backyard
appropriately
to
drain
water,
away
from
the
foundation
of
mine
and
my
neighbors
to
the
south
foundations,
and
in
generally
they
have
concerns
about
the
the
ingress
of
the
roots
into
these
century-old
foundations.
A
few
items
just
to
address
directly
from
the
staff
report.
It
points
out
like
a
quote,
unquote
deck
that
was
built
in
the
backyard.
R
The
report
also
contends
that
homes
with
mature
trees
have
higher
values
relative
to
those
without
even
this,
if
this
were
true,
I
suggest
that
this
particular
tree
is
an
exception.
The
report
also
contends
the
trees
can
function
to
reduce
crime.
Not
only
was
my
car
broken
into
out
back,
but
the
cover
of
the
tree
didn't
allow
for
any
security
footage
of
the
actual
break-in
itself
for
the
record
I'm,
not
against
deforestation
of
our
city.
I
have
offered
to
plants
more
than
one
tree,
I
actually
offered
on
multiple
occasions
to
plant
two
trees.
R
A
J
J
J
J
F
J
F
J
F
J
F
Thank
you
very
much
speak
I'll
move
the
staff
recommendation,
I,
don't
I,
think
it's
clear.
We
have
a
canopy
goal
within
the
City
of
Toronto.
We
need
to
do
all
we
can
to
fulfill
that
goal,
that
the
tree
is
not
visually
in
the
the
inventory
you
might
see
from
the
street,
but
only
visible
from
a
back
Lane
way.
F
But
tending
to
our
urban
canopy
is
is
is
part
of
our
responsibility
as
as
a
community
and
I.
There
is
a
strong
effort
within
this
community
to
protect
the
tree,
canopy
and
and
I.
Don't
think
that
that
community
council
is
in
a
position
or
presented
here
with
evidence
to
to
to
stop
doing
that
so
I'll
move
the
staff
recommendations.
A
Okay,
anyone
else
to
speak
on
the
item,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried
next
item
te
10.1
8
refusal
of
a
boulevard
cafe
permit
application
located
at
796
Bloor
Street,
West,
Crawford
Street
flank
edge.
Are
there
any
members
of
the
public
who
wish
to
address
the
committee
on
this
item?
Seeing
none
councillor.
F
A
F
Lately,
the
monarch
Tavern
is
an
institution
in
the
city,
but
we
only
granted
a
small
patio.
The
last
time
and
the
first
time
they've
ever
come
in
for
a
patio
application,
it's
surrounded
by
residential
Johnny.
It's
around
the
corner.
You
got
lots,
there's
lots
of
room,
you
can.
If
you
want,
you
don't
want
councillor.
F
I
have
a
motion
to
defer
this
to
cycles.
We
will
be
that
we've
granted
this
application.
They
have
had
no
violations.
No
complaints
I
would
like
to
entertain
an
extension
of
operating
hours
and
increased
seating,
but
I
need
some
time
to
socialize
the
idea
amongst
some
of
the
more
immediate
neighbors
that
have
been
the
past
10
comments.
I.
B
A
Okay
on
the
deferral,
any
other
amendment
was
to
speak
on
it.
We
do
have
five
on
the
deferral.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
carried.
Okay
members.
Oh
sorry,
I
have
to
record
it.
That's
correct.
Councillor
Bradford
councillor
perks,
councillor
want
am
councillor
Layton
councillor,
Matt
Lowe,
okay
members.
We
are
at
ten
minutes
to
the
lunch
break.
The
next
item
has
two
deputies,
so
we
won't
be
able
to
get
through
that
unless
we
extend.
We
have
another
item
with
quite
a
number
of
Deputies
later
on.
A
Is
that
your
preference
counselor
Bradford
to
people
mind
if
we,
if
we
do
the
one
item
which
is
item
te,
10.20,
okay,
so
I'll
need
a
motion
to
extend
to
complete
item
te,
10.20
counselor
Bradford,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
Carrie
I
have
two
decorative
deputies
listed,
Shamim
ARA
Shamim!
Please
come
up.
Oh.
A
J
J
J
In
some
point
they
like
there
is
a
written
objection,
came
from
Danforth
village
business
improvement,
executive
director,
but
we
are
not
sure.
What
is
the
reasons
to
like
give
any
written
objection
about
that.
So
we
just
wanted
to
speak
about
our
plan
that
if
there
is
a
cause
for
any
other
business,
is
there
like
any
restaurants
or
food
shop
who
ever
like
object
to
put
a
venom
card
for
hotdog
on
that
location.
So.
A
J
We
just
wanna
like
tell
that
our
food
item
will
be
different
from
them,
and
opening
hours
and
closing
hours
also
be
different
and
like.
If
there
is
any
business
membership
we
have
to
pay.
We
can
like
willingly
to
pay
about
that
if
it
is
any
every
month
or
every
year.
So
just
just
we
are
not
talking
like
tell
about
our
plan
if
they
have
any
objection
about
those
kind
of
causes.
Okay,.
J
Good
afternoon
I
serve
because
we
are
appealing
for
this.
This
business,
our
food,
is
totally
different
than
others.
There
is
not
surrounding
any
other
business
on
their
side.
Now
we
operate
till
morning
until
midnight,
because
there
is
a
subway
station,
they
are
running
the
subway,
so
it
is
very
accessible.
Economic
and
people
can
afford
to
buy
and
city
also
arbiters
and
allow
us
that
there
is
no
problem,
because
we
shift
our
location
and
we
bring
this
one,
because
this
is
a
good
earning
and
benefit
for
us,
and
this
is
a
very
short
time.
