The report requests that City Council deny the request to remove a privately-owned tree, located at the front of 20 Holswade Road.  The owner proposes to demolish the existing single family dwelling, and build a new two-storey single family dwelling with a larger footprint.

Inspection of the tree by staff revealed that the tree is in good condition and there are no visible signs of disease. With proper care and maintenance, the tree should continue to provide benefits to the community for many years.  Urban Forestry cannot support removal of this tree due to its viable condition.

There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of this report.

This report responds to a request to install parking machines along Lee Centre Drive. 

Transportation Services recommends that parking machines be installed on portions of Lee Centre Drive to provide short term on-street parking while maintaining safe and efficient two way traffic flow and access to the retail and residential properties located along Lee Centre Drive.

Transportation Services, Scarborough District, recommends that Scarborough Community Council:

1.         Along the west side of Charlottetown Boulevard:

a.         Rescind the stopping regulations, as identified in Appendix 1 of this report.

b.         Enact the stopping regulations, as identified in Appendix 2 of this report.

2.         Along the east side of Charlottetown Boulevard:

a.         Rescind the standing and parking regulations, as identified in Appendix 3 of this report.

b.         Enact the stopping regulations, as identified in Appendix 4 of this report.

3.         Amend the appropriate by-law(s) accordingly.

This staff report is about a matter for which the Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

This report details the minor on-street stopping regulation changes that are possible along the west side of Charlottetown Boulevard to allow 3-hour parking in front of residential homes during the daytime period.  It also describes the minor on-street standing and parking regulation changes required along the east side to ensure that the by-laws match the posted parking regulations, and to enhance both traffic safety and flow in front of Charlottetown Junior Public School in the on-street pick-up/drop-off zone.

Community Council’s approval of the standing and parking regulations along the east side would enhance traffic safety at these locations and allow enforcement by the Toronto Police Service. Approval of the stopping regulation amendments along the west side would allow casual parking to occur when the traffic activity related to the nearby school is minimal.

The cost of installing the standing regulation signs is approximately $3,000.00.  Funding for the signs is available in the Transportation Services 2009 Operating Budget, within Cost Centre TP0397.

This report responds to a concern about vehicles parked on both sides of the offset intersection at Evenwood Avenue and Newmains Court. When vehicles are parked on the horizontal curve, they restrict the safe and efficient flow of two-way traffic and motorists sight lines are partially obstructed.

Staff has confirmed the need for revised parking regulations in order to maintain a safe and efficient flow of two-way traffic on Evenwood Avenue and Newmains Court.

 The financial cost of installing the parking prohibition signs is approximately $1,000.00.  The funding is available in the Transportation Services 2010 Operating Budget, within Cost Centre TP0397.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The applications to amend the zoning by-law and the proposed draft plan of subdivision were made before January 1, 2007 and are not subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act or City of Toronto Act, 2006.  The application to amend the Official Plan 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. 

Official plan amendment, rezoning and plan of subdivision applications have been submitted to permit the development of 25 single detached residential homes and 74 townhouse units, for a total of 99 dwelling units.  The proposal would result in the creation of three new 18.5 metre wide public roads and a park located at the northeast corner of the development site.  The official plan amendment will amend Map 3 of the Official Plan by narrowing the Lawrence Avenue East right-of-way adjacent to the site from 36 metres, to 30.86 metres.  The project proposes to incorporate a former road allowance owned by the City that bisects the development site from north to south in order to comprehensively develop the entire site.

The purchase of the City land is subject to a separate report to Government Management Committee.  This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and zoning by-law.  This report also advises that the Chief Planner may approve the draft plan of subdivision.
