This application proposes a mixed use building containing approximately 742 residential units at 181, 199, 203 Richmond Street West and 10 Nelson Street.

Origin |
(March 31, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
This application is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
This application proposes the construction of a 29-storey condominium tower at the west end of the site and a 26-storey tower at the east end of the site. Tower heights include the podium levels beneath each. The podium levels step from 5 to 6 storeys from west to east following the Eglinton Avenue frontage. The applicant is proposing 2-storey retail bays which are accessed from grade within the podium levels along the Eglinton Avenue frontage.
The City Planning Division is recommending approval of the proposed development described above based on its location and on its planned and design attributes which include:
a. the site is within a high rise Apartment Neighbourhood and is two blocks from the intersection of Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue. It has excellent transit connections to most points within the City and is within proximity to retail, service and entertainment facilities and places of employment;
b. the proposed redevelopment, which includes large-bay retail commercial spaces, will add variety to the current commercial mix on this section of Eglinton Avenue East. Large-bay retail would be secured in the site-specific by-law which requires a minimum of 2,700 m2 of commercial space on the second floor;
c. a portion of this site is currently underutilized as an unpaved, non-landscaped surface parking lot. This development will fill-in and extend the continuous commercial uses for the full block of Eglinton Avenue East between Dunfield Avenue and Lillian Street;
d. the proposed residential intensification of this site complies with the development criteria for new development in Mixed Use Areas and in Apartment Neighbourhoods designations of the Official Plan. In particular, the location and massing of the building provides a reasonable transition and fit, between areas of different intensity and scale from the west side of Yonge Street to the east towards Mount Pleasant Road. It also provides a reasonable transition and fit between areas of different land use from the site to the lands to the south which are designated Apartment Neighbourhoods;
e. the proposed development complies with the Tall Buildings Guidelines. For example, the minimum separation distances between the proposed towers exceed the recommended minimum of 25 metres (the actual proposed separation ranges between 28 and 32 metres). The separation distances between the proposed towers and the existing building to the south ranges between 26 and 36 metres and the tower floorplates meet the maximum average size of 750 square metres (not including balcony projections);
f. the location and screening the loading bays, the parking ramp and garbage storage to the rear of the building off of a private through-laneway which connects Dunfield Avenue with Lillian Street minimizes the traffic and visual impact on the adjacent streets and residences; and
g. the community benefits that would be available as a result of approval and construction of this development including funding for: the Central Eglinton Community Centre and funds to flow to the acquisition and development of new parks in the local area. |

226 Queen Street West - Demolition and Replacement of a Structure within the Queen Street West Heritage Conservation District |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council approve the proposed replacement building for the property at 226 Queen Street West, substantially in accordance with the plans and drawings prepared by Robert Chang Architect Inc., dated March 3, 2010.
2. City Council approve the issuance of a demolition permit for the building at 226 Queen Street West within the Queen Street West Heritage Conservation District subject to the applicant obtaining a building permit for the replacement structure. |
Origin |
(March 8, 2010) Report from the Acting Director, Policy and Research, City Planning Division |
Summary |
This report recommends approval of the demolition of the two-storey non-contributory commercial building at 226 Queen Street West (north side of the street). The proposed project would then construct a new five storey mixed-use replacement building. The demolition approval is conditional upon the applicant removing the fifth-storey of the proposed replacement building.
The property at 226 Queen Street West is included within the Queen Street West Heritage Conservation District (QSWHCD), which extends from University Avenue to Bathurst Street. The subject site is located at the northwest corner of Queen Street West and McCaul Street (Attachment 1). The site has prominence as a corner location within the Queen Street West Heritage Conservation District.
The replacement structure as proposed would have an overall height of five stories or 19.5 metres (with a large rooftop penthouse further extending the height.) The proposed height is contrary to both the Zoning By-law provisions and the Heritage Conservation District Plan which permits structures to an absolute 16 metre height maximum.
The design of the project façades along both street frontages generally respects architectural characteristics of the district. However, further modification of various design elements would result in the project further complementing the fine-grain character that is expected in such heritage districts. |

(April 6, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York |
Summary |
This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
At the request of Councillor Sandra Bussin, in consultation with the Principal of Bowmore Public School and local residents, Transportation Services is seeking authority to designate a 15-minute-maximum parking area on the west side of Bowmore Road, south of Gerrard Street East. This proposed 30 metre-long short-term student pick-up/drop-off area is intended to address concerns with illegal parking and ensuing traffic congestion in front of Bowmore Public School during school arrival and dismissal times.
To allow the above, the existing 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, parking prohibition on the west side of Bowmore Road would have to be reduced by 30 metres. These changes would result in five short-term parking spaces and a more controlled parking environment. |

Reinstatement of Turn/Through Movement Regulations - Eglinton Avenue West at Old Forest Hill Road, Vesta Drive, and Gardiner Road |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council amend the turn and straight through regulations at the intersections of: Eglinton Avenue West and Old Forest Hill Road; Eglinton Avenue West and Vesta Drive; and Eglinton Avenue West and Gardiner Road, outlined in Appendix A of the report dated April 5, 2010, from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District. |
Origin |
(April 5, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
In 2009, the various turn prohibitions and/or straight-through traffic movements at the intersections of Eglinton Avenue West at Old Forest Hill Road, Vesta Drive, and Gardiner Road were temporarily rescinded to enhance traffic operation along Eglinton Avenue West, between Bathurst Street and Chaplin Crescent during bridge reconstruction on Eglinton Avenue West, east of Spadina Road and replacement of a watermain along this section of Eglinton Avenue West. The bridge reconstruction work was completed in August 2009 but the watermain work has been delayed.
Given the many complaints Transportation Services and the Ward Councillor have received about traffic infiltration in the residential neighbourhood, south of Eglinton Avenue West, and the deferral of further construction along this section of Eglinton Avenue West for the time being, the regulations that were temporarily rescinded in 2009 should be reinstated. |

Pedestrian Traffic Control Signal - Queen's Park Crescent East and Grosvenor Street |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council approve the installation of a pedestrian traffic control signal on Queen’s Park Crescent East, just south of Grosvenor Street. |
Origin |
(April 7, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of a pedestrian traffic control signal on Queen’s Park Crescent East, just south of Grosvenor Street.
The number of pedestrians observed crossing Queen’s Park Crescent near Grosvenor Street, and the delays they incur, is sufficient to justify either a pedestrian crossover or traffic control signals. Given the nature of this street, with four lanes for northbound traffic and the curvature around Queen’s Park, the most appropriate device to assist pedestrians is a traffic control signal for pedestrians only. |

Committee Decision |
The Toronto and East York Community Council:
a. Deferred consideration of Recommendation 1 in the letter dated April 9, 2010, from Councillor Joe Mihevc, Ward 21, St. Paul's West, respecting changes to Parking Regulations on Benson Avenue between Wychwood Avenue and Christie Street, until the meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council to be held on June 22, 2010, in that public notice is required on this matter.
b. Approved double sided parking on Wychwood Avenue between the south edge of the Wychwood Barns Park to St. Clair Avenue West on Saturdays only from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. |
Origin |
(April 9, 2010) Letter from Councillor Joe Mihevc, St. Paul's West |
Summary |
The current parking regulations allow exclusively for vehicles with parking permits overnight permission until 10:00 a.m. on Saturday mornings. This frustrates the operation of the Farmers’ Market and other events at the Artscape Wychwood Barns, and subjects vehicles to tickets if parked prior to 10:00 a.m.
Given that the preparations for the Farmers’ Market begin at 7:00 a.m., the change will be helpful for patrons and vendors. |

Changes to Parking Regulations on St. Clair Avenue West |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council approve the removal and replacement of the “No Standing” zone in front of 752 St. Clair Avenue West with a paid parking spot or spots.
2. City Council approve the extension of the paid parking area east of 747 St. Clair Avenue West to Rushton Road. |
Origin |
(April 9, 2010) Letter from Councillor Joe Mihevc, St. Paul's West |
Summary |
The “No Standing” zone in front 752 St. Clair Avenue West was originally installed in the 1990s to facilitate a drop off location at a fitness centre, however, I understand it was installed several buildings down from its original location after the completion of the right-of-way in my ward. Given the desire to maximize parking on St. Clair Avenue West for all businesses, I am requesting that it be removed and replaced with an additional paid parking spot, or more than one spot, if possible.
Between 747 St. Clair and Rushton Road is a no parking area because there was a gas station in that location. The gas station has been closed and demolished pending future development, making the no parking zone unnecessary. This is an opportunity to increase parking spaces on St. Clair Avenue West. |

Residential Demolition - 11A Kenwood Avenue - Toronto Parking Authority |
Committee Decision |
The Toronto and East York Community Council approved the application to demolish the subject residential building at 11A Kenwood Avenue. |
Origin |
(April 9, 2010) Letter from Councillor Joe Mihevc, Ward 21, St. Paul's West |
Summary |
The Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) is planning to expand its parking lot at Kenwood Avenue and St. Clair Avenue West. As part of the expansion, the TPA has purchased 11A Kenwood Avenue in order to expand the parking lot onto that site. The application is being referred to the Toronto and East York Community Council because the City's record indicate the site contains a building with one dwelling unit and no building permit for a replacement building has been issued. In such cases, the Municipal Code requires the City Council or Community Council to issue or refuse the demolition permit. I am supportive of this expansion, and have worked closely with the TPA and community members on this matter. |

The owner of The Annex Live at 296 Brunswick Avenue applied for a Boulevard Café Permit in the fall of 2009. A poll was conducted by the City Clerk between November 19 and December 19, 2009.
An insufficient number of responses were received to the poll.
This particular boulevard café application has a long history in the neighbourhood. My office has convened a number of meetings with the applicant, local residents, and the Harbord Village Residents Association.
The consensus emerging from these community meetings is that a Boulevard Café should be permitted at this location as long as the conditions outlined in my letter are applied. |

(April 20, 2010) Letter from Councillor Kyle Rae, Ward 27, Toronto Centre-Rosedale |
Summary |
I am writing to request that Heritage Preservation Services staff report on designating 335 Yonge Street, a property that was listed on the City of Toronto's Heritage Inventory in 1974. As most are well aware, on April 16, 2010, part of the north facade of the building collapsed onto Gould Street.
In the interest of public safety, part of the north wall was demolished, as well as the HVAC system on the roof.
For many years, I have attempted to get the property owners to restore the heritage values of the property; however, I have been unsuccessful in this regard.
Now that the property is being assessed structurally, and it has significant landmark merits, I ask that staff report as soon as possible on the designation of the building. |

Renaming of Russell Hill Parkette to "Robert Bateman Parkette" |
Committee Decision |
That Toronto and East York Community Council:
1. Requested the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation to report back to the May 25, 2010, meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on the renaming of Russell Hill Parkette to “Robert Bateman Parkette”.
2. Requested the Mayor to officiate at an official plaque dedication ceremony at the Russell Hill Parkette to recognize the impact the Kay Gardiner Belt Line Ravine has had on Robert Bateman’s artwork. |
Origin |
(April 23, 2010) Member Motion from Councillor Michael Walker, Ward 22, St. Paul's |
Summary |
Robert Bateman is a well accomplished Canadian naturalist and painter, born and raised in the City of Toronto. From a very early age he was a very keen naturalist, inspired by the works of the Group of Seven, he transferred his local landscape to wonderful works of art.
Robert Bateman credits living along the Belt Line ravine at an early age as a major influence on his life as a naturalist and an artist. At the age of 6, Bateman and his family moved into a house that his uncle built at 287 Chaplin Crescent. Its backyard sloped down to the Belt Line ravine, which provided the budding naturalist with a lavish abundance of plants and animals.
Many of Robert Bateman’s early pieces of art reflected the plants, animals and landscapes discovered along the belt line ravine. In his current home in British Columbia, Bateman proudly has hanging a painting he did of the birds in the backyard of his childhood home when he was 14 years old.
Bateman graduated from Victoria College at the University of Toronto, in 1954 and attended the Ontario College of Education. As a high school art and geography teacher, Robert Bateman continued to paint, and eventually in the in 1970s and early 1980s his work began to receive world wide critical acclaim and a very large following. He had many one-man exhibitions that brought out record breaking crowds, including an exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC in 1987.
Robert Bateman has since received many awards and honours; including the Queen’s Jubilee Medal, the Order of British Columbia and is an Officer of the Order of Canada. There are three schools named after him, in Ottawa, Burlington and Abbotsford British Columbia.
While he now lives in Salt Spring Island BC, Robert Bateman still feels very strongly for the preservation and protection of the Belt Line ravine, one of 24 ravines throughout the City of Toronto. These ravines are the defining natural feature of this City, and provide many budding naturalists, like a young Robert Bateman, an opportunity to explore and be inspired nature.
The Russell Hill Parkette near his old home on Chaplin Crescent is one of the gateways for local residents and visitors to enter the Kay Gardiner Belt Line ravine, and is an appropriate site to celebrate the connection the ravine has had on our culture through Robert Bateman. |

Ontario Municipal Board Hearing - 102 Waverley Road |

Origin |
(April 27, 2010) Letter from Councillor Sandra Bussin, Ward 32, Beaches-East York |
Summary |
As Councillor for the area, I am writing with regard to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) appeal by the owner of 102 Waverley Road (A0128/10TEY).
The purpose of the Committee of Adjustment application heard on February 24, 2010, was to construct a rear two-storey addition to the existing two-storey detached dwelling. The applicant also proposed to legalize and maintain a rear basement addition that was constructed without a building permit.
The minor variance application was refused by the Committee members (please see attached).
The City Planning Division wrote to the Committee of Adjustment recommending refusal of the application as the proposal would be inconsistent with: the intent of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law; and with the prevailing pattern of building footprints of other dwellings in the neighbourhood.
I, therefore, recommend that the City Solicitor attend the OMB hearing to defend the Committee of Adjustment’s decision. |

Official Naming of the Parkette at 769 Broadview Avenue as "John F. Candy Parkette" - Request for Staff Report |
Committee Decision |
The Toronto and East York Community Council referred the Member Motion from Councillor Ootes respecting the official naming of the parkette at 769 Broadview Avenue as "John F. Candy Parkette" to the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, for a report to the Toronto and East York Community Council on this matter. |
Origin |
(April 27, 2010) Member Motion from Councillor Case Ootes, Ward 29, Toronto-Danforth |
Summary |
The City of Toronto has a history of commemorating and acknowledging the accomplishments of those Torontonians who have had an impact on society in their respective fields, from politics, social change, humanitarianism to history, entertainment, business and industry. In keeping with these practices, it would seem a fitting tribute to the legendary comedic actor John F. Candy to officially name the parkette located at 769 Broadview Avenue after him.
John Franklin Candy (October 31, 1950 – March 4, 1994) was a Canadian comedian and actor. He was born in Newmarket and raised in Toronto, the son of Evangeline (née Aker) and Sidney James Candy. He attended Neil McNeil High School, an all-boys Catholic school in Toronto, where he played football. He then enrolled in a media/journalism program at Centennial College in 1968 and found his true talent as a television performer/entertainer. Mr. Candy's first ever television performance was at the CBC’s Toronto headquarters, where he appeared in classic children’s shows such as "Dr. Zunk and the Zunkins." This led to a role on "Coming Up Rosie," which saw Mr. Candy cast alongside Dan Ayrkroyd and Catherine O'Hara.
Mr. Candy quickly rose to fame as a member of the Toronto, Ontario branch of Second City. He further gained wide North American popularity as a cast member on the Second City Television program (SCTV). NBC picked up the show in 1981 and it quickly became an all-time fan favourite. Mr. Candy earned two Emmy Awards for writing for SCTV.
The characters played by Mr. Candy on SCTV were generous losers and big-hearted chumps who were never pathetic, but loveable and genuine. It would be an act that translated into box office success in more than 40 feature films. His Hollywood successes include some comic classics like "Planes, Trains and Automobiles," "Uncle Buck," "1941," "Canadian Bacon" and "Cool Runnings." As part of an illustrious group of Canadian comics who found Hollywood glory, Mr. Candy had a singular charm. He could be as funny as anyone, but what really set him apart was his tenderness and a gentle, emotional honesty that made him instantly credible and loveable.
Off the silver screen, in 1991, Bruce McNall, Wayne Gretzky, and John Candy became co-owners of the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts. The celebrity ownership group attracted a lot of attention in Canada and the team even signed some highly touted National Football League players. Mr. Candy and the Toronto Argonauts took home the 1991 Grey Cup defeating Calgary 36 to 21 in the final.
Mr. Candy is an inductee on Canada's Walk of Fame. In May 2006, he became one of the first four entertainers ever honoured by Canada Post by being featured on a postage stamp. Blues Brothers 2000 is dedicated to three people, including Mr. Candy, who played a supporting role in the original Blues Brothers.
As a true Canadian, Torontonian, and East York hero, the naming of this parkette is a fitting tribute to the memory of such a great man. |
