(June 18, 2010) Report from Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District |
Summary |
At its meeting of April 27, 2010, Etobicoke York Community Council deferred consideration of the Final Report related to these applications to its meeting of June 22, 2010. Community Council directed that a third-party/peer review be prepared by a market consultant and requested the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, to report on the results of the peer review analysis at the continuation of the statutory meeting.
The consultant’s findings and conclusions are found in the attached report, prepared by W. Scott Morgan & Associates Limited. In addition, Mr. Morgan will present a verbal synopsis of the report and answer any questions from Community Council at the June 22, 2010 meeting.
Since the April 27, 2010 Etobicoke York Community Council meeting, Lowes has submitted a Site Plan Control application and has made significant progress toward resolving technical issues related to the Draft Plan of Subdivision. Further discussions have been held to clarify the proposed zoning by-law.
On the basis of those discussions and the progress made on technical matters, staff are recommending adoption of the revised zoning by-law and draft approval of the Draft Plan of Subdivision at this time. The revisions to these documents, (Attachment 2 and 3 to this report) are considered minor and technical in nature. Staff also recommend that conditions 4 (b) and (c) in the Final Report be deleted. Those conditions require the signing of a subdivision agreement and issuance of Notice of Approval Conditions (NOAC) for the Site Plan Control application prior to adoption of the by-law.
Copies of the Scott Morgan peer review report have been provided to Lowes and Woodbine Live!. |

Highway 27 and Nearctic Drive – Left Turn Prohibitions |
Committee Recommendations |
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends:
1. City Council approve enacting “No Left Turn Anytime” prohibitions for southbound and westbound traffic at the intersection of Highway 27 and Nearctic Drive. |
Origin |

Summary |
The purpose of this report is to request approval of southbound and westbound “No Left Turn Anytime” prohibitions at the intersection of Highway 27 and Nearctic Drive. Although there is an existing channelising island at the east approach to the intersection that restricts the approach to in-right /out-right turning movements only, vehicles are observed making illegal southbound left-in and westbound left-out movements. The proposed prohibitions will reinforce the current turning movement restrictions existing at this approach. |

Wallace C. Swanek Park |
Committee Decision |
The Etobicoke York Community Council:
1. Did not support the conversion of Wallace C. Swanek Park, for the purpose of school development.
2. Directed the Manager of Heritage Preservation Services to report back to Etobicoke York Community Council on the heritage value of Wallace C. Swanek Park and the feasibility of including the park in the heritage inventory. |
Origin |
(June 18, 2010) Letter from Councillor Frances Nunziata |
Summary |
In the 1940’s, Wallace C. Swanek built his first house at 161 Queenslea Avenue, and a second house at 165 Queenslea Avenue for his family, with the foresight of having parkland across from it. Wallace continued to build all along Queenslea Avenue, as well as neighbouring streets, and in the early 1950’s, as part of the approval for one of his developments, was required to set aside some parkland; Wallace always dreamed of having a public place of recreation in the area for his children, grandchildren, and the expanding neighbourhood, so he decided to convey to the City much more property than was required of him for the creation of Gary Park. Although Wallace sadly passed away on March 31, 1985, his contribution to the community, and his gift of a park, was never forgotten, and in 1998 Gary Park was renamed to Wallace C. Swanek Park in his honor. This park, which is heavily used by the local community, is valued not only for the vast amount of green space it provides to the community, but also for the history it represents. For over a year, I, along with City staff, have been working with the Pelmo-Swanek Community on a new vision for Wallace C. Swanek Park and on June 24th, 2010 at Neighbours Night Out, City staff will be sharing with the community the new design vision and staged plan that has been developed to see improvements to the existing playground and recreational/sports fields and facilities.
While the community has been working hard to see their vision for Wallace C. Swanek Park come to light, the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) has indicated interest in pursuing plans to relocate St. John the Evangelist Catholic Elementary School (23 George Street), to the site of this park despite past discussions that were held with them wherein I advised that this park is not an appropriate location for the school, and even suggested alternate sites. The TCDSB have stated that if the school were to be built on this parkland, many, if not all of the 33 houses immediately surrounding the park would have to be acquired or, if necessary, expropriated. After a recent meeting with representatives from the TCDSB and the Pelmo-Swanek Community Association (PSCA), the community was made aware of the school board’s intentions and has made it clear that in no way can they support a school being built on the parkland. The Pelmo-Swanek Community Association has since initiated a petition in opposition of the school board’s proposal which, in the two weeks it has been circulated, has already been signed by over 500 area residents, with more signatures to come.
Parkland is meant to be cherished and preserved and the City’s Official Plan recognizes that. While the TCDSB has indicated that they would make sure that the same area of parkland that currently exist would exist if the school were to be built on the parkland, they can only accommodate this by demolishing the houses surrounding the park; this is unacceptable, especially because there are other options for the school board including building a new school on the site of their existing location. |
