(March 11, 2009) Report from Chief Corporate Officer |
Summary |
To replace Canadian Pacific Rail Company’s (“CP Rail”) spur line rail servicing 1051 Tapscott Road that was lost when a portion of 1051 Tapscott Road was expropriated by the City to extend McNicoll Avenue. The City also expropriated a portion of the rear of 1251 Tapscott Road (PART 2, Expropriation Plan AT1551966, “the Property”) and it is now recommended that the transfer of this Property to CP Rail be authorized for the substitute site of the said spur line track.
The expropriated Property was acquired and is being transferred to CP Rail at nominal consideration to minimize damages which may be claimed against the City by the owner and/or tenant of 1051 Tapscott Road arising out of the City’s expropriation of a portion of their land to extend McNicoll Avenue and the resultant loss of the original rail spur line. |

(March 25, 2009) Report from Acting Director, Transportation Services, Scarborough District |
Summary |
This staff report is about a matter for which the Community Council does not have delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
This report responds to a request to replace the existing Pedestrian Crossover with an All-Way Stop Control at the intersection of Brenyon Way and Wickson Trail/John Tabor Trail. The report shows that an All-Way Stop Control is warranted at this intersection that is located in the Malvern Neighbourhood.
However, the intersection design along with the existence of a school crossing with an Adult Crossing Guard precludes the use of All-Way Stop Control; the installation of Traffic Control Signals is the only available option. |

Summary |
This application was made on or after January 1, 2007 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
This application proposes to amend the zoning by-law to permit ancillary retail in conjunction with a household appliance repair, refurbishing and warehousing operation. A-One Appliances Inc. operates from the two industrial buildings located on the subject lands, with the retail, repair, refurbishing and storage of appliances occurring in the building facing Lawrence Avenue East (2410 Lawrence Avenue East) and the warehousing occurring in the rear building (6 Nantucket Boulevard).
The proposed increase in the ancillary retail use permission associated with a household appliance repair, refurbishing and storage/ warehousing business, is consistent with the Employment Areas designation of the Official Plan, the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The proposed use is appropriate at this location.
