(March 4, 2009) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
This application proposes to amend Zoning By-law 438-86, as amended, to maintain four dwelling units in a converted house within the residential building at 54A Galley Avenue.
This proposal meets the criteria of the Parkdale Conflict Resolution Process for the regularization of bachelorette units, which were approved by City Council in February, 2000. The building meets Fire Code and Building Code (subject to the comments below) and would encourage the physical maintenance and upgrading of the existing stock of housing in the City. It would provide safe, affordable housing and maintain the stability of the neighbourhood by continuing the housing balance that has existed in the neighbourhood.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. |

Refusal Report - 34-38 Hazelton Avenue - OPA and Rezoning Applications |

Decision Advice and Other Information |
The Toronto and East York Community Council:
1. Deferred consideration of the report from the Director, Community Planning until the meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council to be held on June 9, 2009, with a request that staff report to that meeting on the Applicant’s revised proposal for 34-38 Hazelton Avenue.
2. Requested the Applicant to submit the revised proposal for 34-38 Hazelton Avenue to staff prior to the agenda deadline for the May 21, 2009 meeting of the Toronto Preservation Board for consideration.

Origin |
(March 30, 2009) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
This report recommends refusal of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment applications to develop an 8-storey residential building at 34-38 Hazelton Avenue, and seeks Council’s direction for staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board in opposition to the development should the application be appealed.
The proposed development is inappropriate and out of context. The policies contained within the Official Plan provide the basis for refusing this proposal because it does not meet the intent of the Plan for development within or adjacent to stable residential Neighbourhoods. The application represents an inappropriate intensification of a site, where the Plan anticipates a sensitive infill project.
The height, massing and built form of the proposed development is inconsistent with the existing and planned built form context of this part of Yorkville.
The proposed development does not meet the guidelines for new development within the Yorkville–Hazelton Heritage Conservation District.
The proposal does not meet the Official Plan policies of adequately limiting the impact of shadows nor is the new building massed in such a way as to mitigate view and privacy concerns on neighbouring properties. |

34-38 Hazelton Avenue, Alteration to a Designated Heritage Property |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council refuse the application to alter 34-38 Hazelton Avenue made by the applicant.
2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and City Staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing, should Council refuse this application and the refusal be appealed to the Board. |
Origin |
(March 2, 2009) Report from the Director, Policy and Research, City Planning Division |
Summary |
This report recommends refusal of an application to alter an individually listed and Part V designated heritage property at 34-38 Hazelton Avenue. The subject property at 34 Hazelton Avenue is located on the west side of Hazelton Street between Yorkville and Webster Avenues. The site is occupied by a two-story over ground level former educational facility (St. Basil’s School), constructed in 1928 in a Gothic revival architectural style. The structure was designed by Toronto architect J.M. Cowen.
The property is within the Yorkville Hazelton Heritage Conservation District (HCD) and therefore is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act per By-law 622-2002. In designating the district, Council also endorsed a set of Guidelines with regards to alterations, demolitions and new construction within the district.
Additionally, the structure at 34 Hazelton Avenue is an individually listed structure (this listing predates the district designation) as adopted by Toronto City Council in February 2002. The property is specifically identified for its cultural heritage value.
The cultural value of the structure is related to its design or physical value as a representative example of Neo-Gothic style. This style is evident at the exterior walls and along the roofline, with particular attention to the principal (east) façade. Historic significance of the structure is reflected in the architectural practice of J.M. Cowen, who prepared plans for St. Basil’s Separate School in his capacity as the official architect. Cultural value is also conveyed through its contextual significance in supporting the character of the HCD. With its scale and setback, the school building complements the low-scale appearance of the area.
The project proposes to substantially alter the existing heritage structure by removing exterior walls and the internal structural system and constructing an eight storey condominium building with ground level commercial use. The front facade of the building would be retained and would be incorporated into the overall project. The new condominium building with ground storey retail would be seven stories over a commercial ground level (with an additional mechanical roof penthouse). The height of the new structure would rise five stories, excluding the rooftop penthouse, above the existing structure’s height. These additional floors would be setback approximately seven meters from the most forward projecting (central) bay of the existing façade.
The design of the structure at the front elevation would also develop a sunken (below grade) forecourt to provide access to non-residential uses at that floor level.
This application does not meet the intent of the Official Plan in protecting heritage resources. The proposed alterations would damage the heritage character of the property and significantly alter the streetscape of Hazelton Avenue and does not meet the YHHCD Guidelines. |

Summary |
This report requests that Council confirm the decision of the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation to deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned silver maple tree at 29 Hook Avenue. The property owner would like to remove the tree to improve rear yard sight lines, eliminate the potential of falling limbs and reduce the risk of tree roots entering the drain pipes and/or cracking the basement floor.
Inspection of the tree by staff revealed that it is in good condition. The silver maple tree is healthy and sound based on an inspection by staff and statements in the private arborist report submitted with the application. The applicant did not provide any evidence that the tree is causing damage to the house or property and Urban Forestry cannot support removal of this tree. |

Ontario Municipal Board Hearing - 1031 Shaw Street |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and Director of Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, to attend the upcoming Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing in opposition to the Committee of Adjustment refusal decision for 1031 Shaw Street (File #: A0191/09TEY). |
Origin |
(April 16, 2009) Letter from Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone, Ward 19 Trinity-Spadina |
Summary |
Advising that on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, the Committee of Adjustment refused an application from the owner of 1031 Shaw Street to demolish the existing dwelling and to construct a new three-storey detached dwelling.
On July 2, 2007, this property, owned by Sharon Salsberg, was seriously damaged by a fire suspected to have been deliberately set. Unfortunately, this house was made uninhabitable as a result of the fire. The owner applied for variances needed to rebuild a house as per the attached Committee of Adjustment Notice. Despite the fact that there was no community opposition to the proposal and despite the fact that City Planners did not object to the proposal, the Committee of Adjustment rejected the application. The owner has appealed the refusal decision to the OMB.
As the local City Councillor, I have reviewed the application and find it to be in conformity with the neighbourhood. Furthermore, on a human basis I believe we should help, not hinder, those who – through no fault of their own – are left homeless as happened in this case, to rebuild a compatible home. |

(April 16, 2009) Report from the Manager, Right of Way Management, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
This staff report is about a matter which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
Transportation Services has assessed a request from the developer of 40 Adelaide Street West to install decorative sidewalks with granite pavers within the public right of way fronting 40 Adelaide Street West and on the Bay Street and Temperance Street flanks of 40 Adelaide Street West, “Bay Adelaide Centre”.

Ontario Municipal Board Hearing - 4 Midburn Avenue |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, the City Planning Division and appropriate staff to appear at the Ontario Municipal Board to support the Committee of Adjustment’s decision to refuse the requested consent and minor variance applications for the property at 4 Midburn Avenue. |
Origin |
(April 17, 2009) Letter from Councillor Janet Davis, Ward 31, Beaches-East York |
Summary |
The owner of the property municipally known as 4 Midburn Avenue applied to the Committee of Adjustment (Toronto East York Panel) for consent and minor variances to By-law No. 438-86, as amended, to sever the lot into 3 lots and to construct two detached dwellings on the conveyed lots. The existing detached dwelling would be maintained on a third lot.
The City Planning Division wrote to the Committee of Adjustment recommending refusal of the applications as they would result in the overdevelopment of the site in a way that does not comply with either the Zoning By-law or the Official Plan. A copy of that letter is attached.
At its meeting on March 25, 2009, the Committee of Adjustment denied the consent and minor variance applications. Copies of the decisions are also attached.
The Committee of Adjustment’s decisions have been appealed by the owner to the Ontario Municipal Board.
An Ontario Municipal Board Hearing has not yet been scheduled. |

In the event that this applicant receives a Boulevard Café license this patio season, I am asking that Toronto and East York Community Council request Municipal Licensing and Standards to actively monitor and enforce those conditions which apply to the outdoor patio, and report back to the Ward Councillor and Toronto and East York Community Council. |

Ontario Municipal Board Hearing - 3 Hamilton Street |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, the City Planning Division and appropriate staff to appear at the Ontario Municipal Board to support the Committee of Adjustment's decision to refuse the requested minor variance application for 3 Hamilton Street. |
Origin |
(April 20, 2009) Letter from Councillor Pam McConnell, Ward 28, Toronto Centre-Rosedale |
Summary |
The owner of the property municipally known as 3 Hamilton Street applied to the Committee of Adjustment (Toronto East York Panel) for minor variances to By-law No. 438-86, as amended, to allow for the demolition of an existing one-storey building and to construct a new six-storey apartment building containing 19 dwelling units.
The City Planning Division wrote to the Committee of Adjustment recommending refusal of the application as it does not meet the four tests of the Planning Act. The Official Plan states that development in "Mixed Use Areas" on Avenues, which requires a rezoning application, is not permitted to proceed prior to the completion of an Avenue Study or until Council is satisfied that the development will not have adverse impacts on the entire Avenue.
The applicant is requesting numerous variances from the Zoning By-law. The proposed development is not appropriate development of the site, and the variances requested are not minor.
At its meeting on February 4, 2009, the Committee of Adjustment denied the minor variance application.
The Committee of Adjustment's decisions have been appealed by the owner to the Ontario Municipal Board. An Ontario Municipal Board Hearing has not yet been scheduled. |
