(December 14, 2009) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
This City-initiated amendment is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
The proposal is to amend Zoning By-law 438-86 to implement additional restrictions on restaurants and related uses on Queen Street West, between Dovercourt Road and Gladstone Avenue, in Ward 18.
Staff are recommending a number of amendments to the Zoning By-law that seek to balance the concerns of the residents and the business/property owners relating to the impacts of restaurants and related uses. The cumulative effects of the amendments will help to limit the impacts of restaurants and related uses on the nearby residential area, while still allowing new restaurants and related uses.
This report reviews and recommends approval of amendments to the Zoning By-law. |

Motions |
1 - Motion to Amend Item moved by Councillor Adam Giambrone (Carried) That Recommendation 1 in the report dated December 14, 2009, from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, be amended by adding the following:
"subject to including the following:
- Allow the expansion of the uses that legally existed at 1150 Queen Street West on the date of this By-law coming into effect onto the properties at 1140, 1142 and 1144 Queen Street West to permit:
a. A combined non-residential gross floor area for the purpose of a restaurant, take-out restaurant, and bake-shop uses up to a maximum of 175 m2, except that no portion of the additional floor space can be dedicated to accessory entertainment purposes otherwise permitted by this By-law.
b. Below grade expansion uses may also include support and service spaces such as a green room, coat check, storage, lobby area, office, mechanical and electrical areas, and washrooms." 2 - Motion to Amend Item moved by Councillor Adam Giambrone (Out of Order) That Recommendation 3 in the report dated December 14, 2009, from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, be amended by adding the following words:
"including:
- consideration of the introduction of a definition of a Bar, i.e., establishments where the primary activity is drinking, as well as consideration of which zones within the City that Bars should be permitted uses; and
- considering changes that would limit the concentration of Bars in zones where they are permitted uses, such as a cap, or a separation distance requirement.",
so that the amended recommendation now reads:
"3. City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, through the Zoning By-law Project, in consultation with Municipal Licensing and Standards and Toronto Building, to report to Planning and Growth Management Committee on potential amendments to the City-wide By-law regarding restaurants and related uses, including:
- consideration of the introduction of a definition of a Bar, i.e., establishments where the primary activity is drinking, as well as consideration of which zones within the City that Bars should be permitted uses; and
- considering changes that would limit the concentration of Bars in zones where they are permitted uses, such as a cap, or a separation distance requirement." Ruling by Councillor Pam McConnell The Chair ruled the motion by Councillor Giambrone to amend Recommendation 3, together with Recommendation 3 in the report dated December 14, 2009, of the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, to be out of order, in that the Toronto and East York Community Council cannot discuss or direct City-wide issues under the mandate of the Planning and Growth Management Committee. |

Zoning Amendment – 150 Sudbury Street |
Statutory - Planning Act, RSO 1990 |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council amend the definition of artist live/work studio in Zoning By-law No. 1169-2009 , Section 14 to read: artist live/work studio shall mean a dwelling unit containing a studio space for the production of art and that a minimum of 20 of such units in Building A will be rented at no more than 0.8 times the CMHC average market rent for dwelling units of similar size in the City of Toronto and inhabited only by a working artist and his or her household.
2. City Council authorize the Director of Community Planning, Toronto and East York District to enter into an agreement with Artscape to secure the provision and maintenance of 20 affordable rental units and 48 below-market ownership units, as identified in the amended zoning By-law.
3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to amend the Section 37 agreement to address the amendment to Zoning By-law 1169-2009.

Decision Advice and Other Information |
The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on January 12, 2010, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act. |
Origin |
(November 23, 2008) Report from Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
On January 8, 2008, the Ontario Municipal Board approved By-law No.1169-2009 with respect to the lands at 150 Sudbury Street. Contained within the By-law was a mechanism allowing Artscape, a non-profit organization that works with artists, to buy units at below market cost from the developer for rent to artists as live/work studios. Artscape, in consultation with City staff, the developer and the local Councillor have determined that the mechanism, and therefore the By-law, needs to be amended to allow Artscape to sell some of the units as below-market ownership units, while maintaining a minimum number of units being retained as affordable rental. This report recommends the required amendment to the By-law. In addition, this report recommends that the City and Artscape enter into an agreement to secure conditions related to the Artscape units. |

(December 2, 2009) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
At its meeting of May 26 and 27, 2008, Council approved the application for redevelopment of the site at 300 Front Street West for a mixed-use building ranging in height from 16- to 52-storeys, with commercial uses at grade. At that time, Council approved a draft Zoning By-law. Since then, during the course of refining the Site Plan Approval drawings, certain changes to the draft Zoning By-law have become necessary. This supplementary report recommends a revised draft Zoning By-law for approval including a revised height map. |

Request for Direction Report - 21 Avenue Road - Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning Applications |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate City Staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) to oppose the OMB appeal made by the applicant for Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment Application No.07 289063 STE 27 OZ.
2. City Council instruct the City Solicitor to advise the OMB that Council would support an alternate Development Strategy for the lands known municipally as 21 Avenue Road substantially as set out in Attachment No.10 to the report dated December 23, 2009 from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, and as noted within this report.
3. In the event the OMB allows the appeal and permits the proposed development, City Council also instruct the City Solicitor to request the OMB to require the applicant to enter into an agreement to secure the provision of public benefits and related matters as deemed appropriate by the Chief Planner, pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act. |
Decision Advice and Other Information |
The Toronto and East York Community Council requested the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, to report directly to Council for its meeting on January 26 and 27, 2010, on the revised proposal presented to the Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting on January 12, 2010, by the applicant for the project at 21 Avenue Road. |
Origin |
(December 23, 2009) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
The applicant has appealed the Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning Applications to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) due to Council’s failure to make a decision within the time allotted by the Planning Act. A second pre-hearing conference on this file is set for February 1, 2010 and a hearing is set to commence on March 22, 2010.
The purpose of this report is to seek direction from City Council on the position to be taken at a forthcoming Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing scheduled for March 22, 2010.
The application before the OMB is to permit the demolition of the existing Four Season Hotel and in its place proposes a 3-storey base building with three levels of retail. The proposed development would have at the north end of the base building an east-west orientated residential ‘slab like’ building of 28 storeys (90.5 metres to roof, 97 metres to the top of mechanical penthouse) and at the southern end of the base building, a 40-storey residential tower (136.75 metres to roof and 143.25 metres to the top of mechanical penthouse).Vehicular access to the site is proposed to be by way of a two-way north-south orientated driveway from both Yorkville Avenue and Cumberland Street.
The proposed massing represents an over-development of the site and would set a negative precedent in terms of the application of the City’s built form policies and guidelines for tall building development.
This report has identified that the proposal is located on a prominent site in terms of its relationship to an important vista of a sensitive historic environment (Ontario Legislative Assembly) within the City of Toronto. The proposed height of the building at the southern end of the site distracts and compromises this important vista. The report further demonstrates that when viewed from the north side of College Street, the tall building at the southern end of the site creates a negative visual impact.
The proposal in its current form does not meet the Official Plan policy of adequately limiting the impacts of shadows. In the context of a review of the building separation distance and proposed floor plate size, the proposal does not adequately address privacy impacts nor are views through and around the site sufficiently addressed.
After further review of applicable policies and guidelines, the findings of an independent view-shed analysis and review of the revised application materials, planning staff have compiled a Development Strategy where development may be considered at 21 Avenue Road (Attachment No.10). |

(November 12, 2009) Report from Director, Policy and Research, City Planning Division |
Summary |
This application proposes to develop the site at 2 O'Connor Drive, 2, 6, and 12 Fernwood Gardens with a 4-storey, 65-unit, residential-care and assisted living facility. The John F. Taylor house, a listed heritage property located at 2 O’Connor Drive, will be preserved, partially restored and incorporated into the development proposal. All other buildings are to be demolished, including three buildings containing 36 residential rental units that are not proposed to be replaced. The applicant is applying for Official Plan Amendment, Rezoning and demolition under Municipal Code Chapter 667.
The Community Planning staff report for this application recommended refusal. The key concerns noted in the report included lack of retention or replacement of the affordable rental housing and the fit of the proposal with the planned context of Fernwood Gardens. However, the Toronto and East York Community Council (TEYCC) voted to approve the application at their meeting of November 10, 2009 and requested planning staff to prepare a report to come back to the January 12, 2010 meeting of TEYCC with conditions of approval for the application.
Following on the direction from TEYCC, this report provides a review of the applications as they relate to proposed conservation of the property under the Ontario Heritage Act, and recommends that Council designate the property at 2 O’Connor Drive under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value and ensure the preservation of the heritage attributes of the property. |

(November 5, 2009) Report from Director, Policy and Research, City Planning Division |
Summary |
This report addresses an application to permit a new 42-storey tower at the northeast corner of the site with an eight-storey building and six-storey podium covering the westerly half of the subject property. The project would include 443 residential condominium units, a hotel with 104 rooms and retail uses at the lower levels of the development. A total of 388 parking spaces are proposed to be located in an underground parking facility. The project includes relocation of the heritage building at 104 John Street from the northeast to southeast corner of the subject property. The structure would be moved approximately 57 metres southward along the John Street frontage from its current location.
This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations to the heritage property at 104 John Street and also designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value as a rare surviving example of residential row architecture in the area formerly known as “New Town.” The property also contributes to the historic and contextual fabric that exists within the King-Spadina Secondary Plan area. |

26a | Front Yard Parking Appeal for a Second Vehicle - 220 and 222 Kenilworth Avenue - Supplementary Report |
Origin |
(December 9, 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.
The Toronto and East York Community Council, at its meeting of March 26, 2009, deferred indefinitely the report entitled “Front Yard Parking Appeal for a Second Vehicle – 220 and 222 Kenilworth Avenue” (Item TE24.26).
Transportation Services staff met with the applicant and a revised landscape plan was agreed to. The proposal increases the soft landscape area and landscaped open space on the public portion of the property. The landscaped open space and soft landscaping requirements of the private portion continue to meet the Code. To further increase the landscaped open space, the applicants agreed to reduce the size of the parking spaces while still maintaining compliance with the Code and utilizing a “turf stone” type product for the parking pads. They are also eliminating the two separate walkways and instead utilizing a single shared walkway down the middle of the property.
Transportation Services acknowledges that the original report did not identify the specific type of dwelling. At the time of the original application, the Toronto Property System noted that the property was a “residential property with three self contained units”. This appeal is for a second vehicle as per the Committee of Adjustment decision (Appendices ‘B1’ and ‘B2’) to allow the conversion of the integral garage to habitable space. The property will now contain four units at each address and therefore additional parking is required. |

(December 16, 2009) Report from the Manager, Toronto and East York District, Municipal Licensing and Standards Division |
Summary |
This staff report is about a matter for which the Toronto and East York Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. The applicant, being the property owner is seeking exemption to the provisions of the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447 Fences, Section 447-2(B), to permit the existing fence in the rear yard, to exceed the maximum allowable height.
The Fence By-law provides that a fence in the rear yard area can be constructed to a height of 2 metres. The fence in the rear yard for which an exemption is being requested consists of a wooden fence ranging from 2.38 metres to 2.74 metres in height and 28.04 metres in length situated on top of a block retaining wall located on the north side of the rear yard. The fence in the rear yard does not comply with the maximum permitted height of 2 metres. (Attachments 1 and 2)
In determining fence height where there is a grade change within 1 metre on either side of the subject fence the average height is used as a base for determining overall fence height. In this instance the wooden fence sits on top of a block retaining wall that has been constructed to a height ranging from 1.01 metres tapering to grade at the rear lot line therefore the maximum allowable fence height when averaged at ½ of 1.01 metres equals .51 metres as the base height already above grade that must be factored in when calculating overall fence height. |

Report on Appropriate Zoning of the Lands - 10 Ordnance Street |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council request City Planning staff to initiate a rezoning for 10 Ordnance Street to redesignate the site from ‘I3D3’ (Industrial) to ‘G’ (Park Land).
2. City Council direct staff to schedule a public community consultation meeting together with the Ward Councillor.
3. City Council direct that notice for the community consultation meeting be given to all landowners and residents within 120 metres of the site.
4. City Council direct that the notice for the public meeting under the Planning Act be given according to the regulations under the Planning Act. |
Origin |
(December 3, 2009) Report from Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
The report responds to a request from the Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting of November 10, 2009, that the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division prepare a report regarding the appropriate zoning of the City-owned land at 10 Ordnance Street, with a view to having the land classified as future parkland.
The land at 10 Ordnance Street is currently zoned I3D3 and used as a parking lot. The Fort York Pedestrian and Cycling Bridge is proposed to cross over the subject lands linking the Stanley Park South extension with the Fort York National Historic site. The bridge has been designed to provide for a future pedestrian connection down onto 10 Ordnance Street to allow better access to the King Liberty community.
Based on a preliminary review, City Planning staff believe there is merit in initiating a rezoning to redesignate the site ‘G’ Park Land. The rezoning process would allow staff to consult with the local community and allow the other relevant City divisions to comprehensively review the proposal. |

Request for a City Planning Report on the Public Assumption of Private Lanes Adjacent to 9 Hanna Avenue |

The Toronto and East York Community Council referred the letter from Deputy Mayor Pantalone to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, with a request that he, and staff of appropriate Divisions, prepare a report for the March 9, 2010, Toronto and East York Community Council regarding the appropriate and necessary steps, including timelines, for the public assumption of private lanes to the east and west of 9 Hanna Avenue. |
Origin |
(December 4, 2009) Letter from Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone, Ward 19, Trinity-Spadina |
Summary |
As members of the Toronto and East York Community Council are aware, major redevelopment is occurring in the Liberty Village community which is covered under the Garrison Common North Secondary Plan. One such redevelopment is 5 Hanna Avenue which was the subject of a rezoning in 2005 to permit a 6-storey, 105-unit, live-work building with 144 below grade units (Zoning By-law No. 520-2005). On June 25, 2008, the Toronto East York Committee of Adjustment approved an application with conditions for 5 Hanna Avenue. One of the conditions includes the applicant entering into a Section 45 Agreement to secure the conveyance of lands required for the local laneway system to City of Toronto standards. Currently, the lane provides crucial access from Hanna Avenue to 9 Hanna Avenue, Traffic Services – Toronto Police Services. Furthermore, there has been a contemplated North-South laneway to the West of 9 Hanna Avenue where another development by Plazacorp is also underway.
Since July 2008, City Planning, Transportation Services, City Legal, Toronto Police Services and I, as the local Councillor, have been in discussion with the applicants in an attempt to resolve the issues associated with the public assumption of the private lanes. Currently, issues relating to the ownership, the width of the lane, the remediation of the lands and the requirements of Transportation Services and Traffic Services – Toronto Police Services are still unresolved.
Given the urgent need to address these issues, I recommend that the Chief Planner and Executive Director of City Planning prepare a report. Thank you for your attention to my comments. |

Origin |
(December 15, 2009) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has been delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
As a result of area resident concerns of the amount and speed of traffic on Woodmount Avenue, Transportation Services reviewed the installation of speed humps, turn prohibitions, change in direction, signal timing extensions and corner parking restrictions.
The speed of motorists on Woodmount Avenue is insufficient to meet the criteria for the installation of speed humps; however, the posted speed limit should be reduced to 40 km/h. Implementation of turn prohibitions or a one-way operation on Woodmount Avenue would impact local and area residents and should only be initiated as part of a neighbourhood traffic management plan. Transportation Services will monitor the left-turn movement at Woodbine Avenue and O’Connor Drive and make improvements where possible. Corner parking prohibition signs will be installed to improve visibility at the Woodmount Avenue/O’Connor Drive intersection. |

Request to Revive and Celebrate the "Ward" |
Committee Decision |
The Toronto and East York Community Council referred Motion MM41.2 by Councillor Moscoe, seconded by Councillor Mihevc, respecting a request to revive and celebrate the "Ward", to Heritage Toronto for consideration, and report back, in consultation with the Director, Cultural Services, to the appropriate committee. |
Origin |
(November 2, 2009) Letter from City Council |
Summary |
City Council on October 26 and 27, 2009, referred Motion MM41.2 by Councillor Moscoe, seconded by Councillor Mihevc, to the Toronto and East York Community Council.
Toronto prides itself on being a city of neighbourhoods. It also celebrates its cultural diversity and its heritage guidelines specifically direct Heritage Toronto to value and celebrate our City’s cultural diversity.
Toronto neighbourhoods flourish and thrive because they are active, vibrant communities. They are visible and have advocates. Yet, Toronto is very much a product of its past. There are neighbourhoods in Toronto which have virtually disappeared, yet they have contributed so much to our history and diversity. They deserve to be revived and celebrated.
One such neighbourhood is the “Ward”. At the turn of the century it served as the immigrant reception area and was located in the shadow of the new, (now old), City Hall between Teraulley Street, (now Bay Street), and University Avenue. It was as densely populated as the lower east side of New York with as much a history, with one difference. Toronto’s by-laws prohibited high-rise buildings, so instead of tenements, families were crowded into houses, flats and even stables. Many of the households were without indoor facilities or running water.
Most of the population was Jewish with a sizable community of recently arrived Italian and various other new ethnic arrivals. Some 80% of the population were garment workers, employed by Eaton’s in their sweatshops located on the south side of Agnes Street, (now Dundas), between Teraulley, (Bay Street) and Yonge Street, north of Albert Street where the Eaton Centre now stands.
A Yiddish Theatre, the Lyric Theatre, was located at the northeast corner of Bay and Dundas, where the Atrium is located, and the largest synagogue sat where the University Courthouse stands at the corner of Armoury Street.
Much of Toronto’s present City Hall was built on the remnants of the “Ward’ and the Chinatown that replaced it. |

(January 7, 2010) Letter from Councillor Gord Perks, Ward 14, Parkdale-High Park |
Summary |
This motion is about a matter for which the Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
At its meeting on November 10, 2009, Toronto and East York Community Council adopted Item TE29.25 recommending the granting of a fence exemption at 1733 Bloor Street West (Keele Subway Station), contained in a report dated October 20, 2009, from the Manager, Municipal Licensing and Standards, Toronto and East York District.
Subsequent to the meeting, it was determined that, although the information contained in the report with respect to the specifications of the fence was correct, the address identified was incorrect. The correct address of the Keele Subway Station is 21 Keele Street. Item TE29.25 needs to be reopened so that the Community Council can approve the required amendment to grant the fence exemption at 21 Keele Street (Keele Subway Station). |

Origin |
(January 11, 2010) Member Motion from Councillor Adam Vaughan, Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina |
Summary |
Gusto at 101 Inc. has submitted an application for a liquor licence to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) on August 31st, 2009 for the premises located at 101 Portland Street under the name of “Gusto” (“Premises”). The site is currently under construction as a new restaurant with a ground level outdoor patio as well as a rooftop patio. The applicant is seeking a liquor licence for a capacity of 95 for the main floor restaurant, 38 for the outside patio (west section) and 58 for the rooftop patio.
The Premises is located in the City’s downtown core amongst a concentrated mix of retail, restaurant, office, as well as residential uses. Area residents are concerned that the issuance of the liquor licence as requested will result in increased problems in the area related to noise, litter, safety and security, signage, lighting and other disturbances to residents living in the area, in particular as a result of the outdoor patios.
This application for a liquor licence is not in the public interest unless certain conditions which address the concerns of the community are attached to the licence, particularly with regard to the outdoor patios. |

Summary |
Hotel on Queen Inc. submitted an application for a liquor licence to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) on September 4th 2009 for the premises located at 335 Queen Street West under the name of “Hotel on Queen” (“Premises”). The Premises is currently under construction as a new 19-room hotel with a licensed restaurant at grade and a rooftop patio. The applicant is seeking a liquor licence for a capacity of 70 for the main floor restaurant, 20 for the basement private dining room and 70 for the rooftop patio.
The Premises is located in the City’s downtown core amongst a concentrated mix of retail, restaurant, office as well as residential uses.

Liquor Licence Revocation - 580 King Street West - The Century Room |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council direct the City Clerk to advise the Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) that the continuation of the liquor licence issued to 1583381 Ontario Inc. operating as The Century Room (“Premises”), located at 580 King Street West (“Premises”), is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents of the City.
2. City Council request the AGCO to provide the City with an opportunity to participate in any proceedings with respect to the Premises.
3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to attend all proceedings before the AGCO in this matter and to take all necessary actions so as to give effect to this motion, including adding and deleting conditions to any liquor licence issued for the Premises, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, which address issues including, but not limited to, safety, security personnel, crowd control, noise and lighting. |
Origin |
(January 11, 2010) Member Motion from Councillor Adam Vaughan, Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina |
Summary |
On December 1, 2009, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) issued a Notice of Proposal (“NOP”) number 17610 to revoke the liquor licence issued to 1583381 Ontario Inc. (“Licensee”) operating as The Century Room (“Premises”), located at 580 King Street West. The NOP is based upon alleged violations by the Licensee of provisions of the Liquor Licence Act. In the early morning hours of June 21, 2009 three loaded guns were seized at the Premises. A hearing related to this NOP has not yet been scheduled but it is anticipated that it will be held in the first few months of 2010.
In addition to the above-noted disciplinary matter, the Premises has also been the subject of a large number of noise related complaints. Several sets of charges have been laid by the City's Municipal Licensing and Standards Division between 2007 - 2009, related to noise and other licensing infractions.
City Council should request the AGCO to add a public interest component to the discipline hearing, which will take place in the near future. The Premises are located in the City’s entertainment district which has a large concentration of night clubs. There should be little tolerance for violence such as the presence of guns at a nightclub in the entertainment district. The safety of the public should not be compromised. The City would not be added as a party to a disciplinary hearing but the City could be a party to a public interest hearing if there is a Notice of Proposal issued by the Registrar for such a hearing and if the City is granted party status by the AGCO.
The continuation of the liquor licence for these Premises is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents and the City should be involved in the revocation hearing.
City staff would seek the revocation of the liquor licence for the Premises or, in the alternative, would request conditions to be attached to the licence which would help ensure the safety of the patrons and employees of the Premises as well as the public. |

The Toronto and East York Community Council requested the Toronto Preservation Board, following its meeting to be held on January 21, 2010, to forward its recommendation(s) regarding the Heritage Designation for 7 Austin Terrace directly to City Council for its meeting on January 26 and 27, 2010, for consideration with Toronto and East York Community Council Item TE30.96. |

(January 11, 2010) Letter from Councillor Joe Mihevc, Ward 21, St. Paul's |
Summary |
I am writing this letter to the Members of the Toronto and East York Community Council to ask that the issue of a heritage designation for Maclean House (7 Austin Terrace) be forwarded directly from the Toronto and East York Community Council to the January meeting of City Council without recommendation.
Maclean House is located in the Casa Loma neighbourhood of my ward. In mid-December, aware that Heritage Preservation Services (HPS) had undertaken a review of the property, the owner began destroying architectural features on the building that many believed held heritage value. In an effort to stop the destruction in the interim between the HPS’s review and City Council’s consideration of the matter, the City asked for and was granted a “stop order” from the Provincial Ministry of Culture to prevent further alterations/demolitions on this property for a period of 60 days. It is imperative that City Council consider this item at its January meeting before the “stop order” expires. Despite the destruction of some of the property’s features, HPS is recommending a heritage designation of the property in its report to the January 21, 2010, meeting of the Toronto Preservation Board. |
