REPORT No. 3
OF THE EAST YORK COMMUNITY COUNCIL
(from its meeting on March 30, 1999,
submitted by Councillor Jane Pitfield, Acting Chair)
As Considered by
The Council of the City of Toronto
on April 13, 14 and 15, 1999
1
Implementation of Two-Sided
Overnight Permit Parking on
Donlands Avenue Between
Mortimer Avenue and Sammon Avenue
(City Council on April 13, 14 and 15, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The East York Community Council recommends adoption of the following report (March 8, 1999) from the
Manager, Right of Way Management, Transportation Services, District 1:
Purpose:
To report on the introduction of overnight permit parking on both sides of Donlands Avenue, between Mortimer Avenue
and Sammon Avenue.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1) overnight permit parking be permitted on both sides of Donlands Avenue, between Mortimer Avenue and Sammon
Avenue, on a street name basis, to operate during the hours of 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., 7 days a week;
(2) Schedule A of Overnight Parking Permit By-law No. 20-96, of the former Borough of East York, be amended to
incorporate two-sided overnight permit parking on Donlands Avenue, between Mortimer Avenue and Sammon Avenue;
and
(3) the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action including the introduction of the
necessary Bill in Council to give effect thereto.
Background:
A request was received from Councillor Jane Pitfield on December 3, 1998, accompanied by a petition from the residents of
Donlands Avenue, between Mortimer Avenue and Sammon Avenue, requesting the feasibility of overnight permit parking
on both sides of the street.
Comments:
Donlands Avenue, between Mortimer Avenue and Sammon Avenue, operates two-way traffic, northbound and southbound
with a pavement width of 13.41 metres. Parking on Donlands Avenue is presently regulated by alternate side permit
parking, where parking rotates side-to-side, on a monthly basis, allowed by permit only, between the hours of 11:00 p.m.
and 5:00 a.m. and for a maximum period of three hours at all other times.
This section of Donlands Avenue, between Mortimer Avenue and Sammon Avenue, is sufficiently wide enough to enable
two-sided permit parking. Inspection by staff confirmed that this would increase the number of parking spaces on this block
by 15 spaces without adversely affecting traffic operation or safety and at the same time providing much needed additional
parking in the area.
Conclusions:
A petition was submitted by 21 residents of the 51 affected properties on Donlands Avenue, between Mortimer Avenue and
Sammon Avenue.
Given that Donlands Avenue, between Mortimer Avenue and Sammon Avenue, is already authorized for permit parking on
an alternate side basis, no poll is required to ascertain support for the implementation of overnight permit parking on both
sides of the street.
The proposal will provide 15 additional parking spaces for residents of this portion of the street. It is, therefore,
recommended that permit parking be introduced on both sides of Donlands Avenue, between Mortimer Avenue and
Sammon Avenue.

Public Meeting Held in Accordance
with the Planning Act with respect to
Zoning By-law Amendments
to Remove Regulations Governing
Fences on Decks and Platforms
(City Council on April 13, 14 and 15, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The East York Community Council, based on the findings of fact and conclusions, recommends adoption of the
following report (February 12, 1999) from the Director of Community Planning, East District.
The East York Community Council reports having held a statutory public meeting on March 30, 1999, in accordance with
Section 34 of the Planning Act, and appropriate notice of this meeting was given in accordance with the Planning Act and
the regulations thereunder.
The East York Community Council submits the following report (February 12, 1999) from the Director of
Community Planning, East District:
Purpose:
On January 20, 1999, the Director of Municipal Standards reported to the East York Community Council regarding a
conflict in law between the East York Zoning By-law Nos. 1916 and 6752 and the Fence By-law No. 81-89. The
Community Council subsequently requested the Planning Division to prepare amendments the zoning by-laws to remove
regulations governing fence and screen heights on decks. The purpose of this report is to address that issue.
This report is for consideration by the East York Community Council at the public meeting of March 30, 1999.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that City Council approve amendments to Zoning By-law No. 1916 and Zoning By-law No. 6752 to
remove regulations governing fence and screen heights on decks and platforms.
Background:
During the course of investigating a complaint, by-law enforcement staff found that three by-laws regulate the height of
fences or privacy screens on decks in East York.
By-law No. 81-89 is the fence by-law in East York. It was passed under the authority of the Municipal Act and regulates
fences on private property. The by-law permits the construction of a fence on a deck, provided the fence is not more than
1.9 metres (6 feet 3 inches) in height above the deck surface, and provided it is not more than 2.4 metres (7 feet 10 inches)
in height above grade. This by-law applies to all properties in the East York Community.
There are similar regulations in Zoning By-laws Nos. 1916 and 6752 that apply to properties in residential zones. The
zoning by-laws establish the same height restrictions as the fence by-law.
The problem with regulating fences in this way is that a person wishing to construct a higher fence must obtain exemptions
from the fence by-law and the applicable zoning by-law. This involves making applications under two separate processes.
Under the Planning Act, a person can seek a minor variance from a zoning regulation by making an application to the
Committee of Adjustment. Under the fence by-law, a person can apply to the Community Council for an exemption. In
theory, a person may be successful in obtaining an exemption from one by-law, but not the other by-law.
Comments:
In the opinion of Planning staff, there is no reason to maintain duplicate regulations for deck fences. It is appropriate to
remove the regulations regarding decks and platforms from the zoning by-laws, rather than from the fence by-law. There are
similar regulations in the draft City-wide fence by-law. Staff anticipate that the by-law will be forwarded to Council for
enactment in the second quarter of 1999.
Community Consultation:
Notice of this public meeting was given by publication in the Toronto Star.
Conclusions:
In the opinion of staff, it is appropriate to remove regulations governing deck fences from the zoning by-laws in order to
eliminate duplication and conflicts with deck fence regulations in the fence by-law. Staff are recommending that Zoning
By-laws Nos. 1916 and 6752 be amended to remove these regulations.

The East York Community Council reports, for the information of Council, having also had before it a communication
(March 16, 1999) from Ms. P. Prentice, East York.

870 Pape Avenue, Repeal of
Part Lot Control Exemption
Block 7, Plan 66M-2325
(City Council on April 13, 14 and 15, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The East York Community Council recommends adoption of the following report (March 5, 1999) from Loopstra,
Nixon and McLeish, Barristers and Solicitors:
Purpose:
That City Council adopt the following report and enact the By-law as Appendix "1" hereto to repeal the part lot control
exemption and restore part lot control to a portion of these lands.
Financial Implications:
The cost of preparing and registering this by-law will be paid by the owner.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1) City Council enact the attached By-law; and
(2) Loopstra, Nixon and McLeish, Solicitors for the East York Office, be instructed to register the said By-law on title to the
lands, to which the By-law applies as required by section 50(7.5) of the Planning Act.
Background:
On July 29, 30 and 31, 1998 City Council adopted Clause No. 5 of Report No. 11 of the East York Community Council.
The report indicated that immediately upon the conveyance of each lot, the City Solicitor for the East York Office be
directed to bring forward a by-law to repeal the part lot control exemption.
Comments:
Since the time of that report, the owner has conveyed title to 12 lots. The original by-law passed by City Council on July 31,
1998 (By-law No. 485-1998) had the effect of lifting part lot control on Block 7 only. A second by-law was subsequently
passed for the balance of the lands in order to permit the conveyance of title to each individual lot. Without part lot control,
conveyances can occur without City Council approval. Therefore it is appropriate to restore part lot control now that these
conveyances have occurred.
Conclusions:
It is appropriate for City Council to enact the By-law attached as Appendix "1" hereto with respect to the repeal of part lot
control exemption.
