On the agenda

As the city filed it

The owner of lands municipally known as 470, 490 and 530 Wilson Avenue in the City of Toronto (the "Subject Site") settled an appeal with the City of the owner's Zoning By-law Amendment application in July 2018 in respect of a proposal to redevelop the Subject Site (see Council Agenda Item 2018.CC44.35). As part of that settlement, the Owner will be dedicating an approximately 973 square metre on-site parkland dedication at the corner of Wilson Avenue and Faywood Boulevard, to satisfy parkland dedication requirements.

During below-grade construction of the development, tiebacks will be inserted into the lands that will be conveyed to the City as parkland. The tiebacks will be de-stressed prior to conveyance of the parkland to the City but will remain physically on the lands. There is currently no Council Authority to direct the staff to accept the conveyance of the parkland encumbered by the de-stressed tiebacks. This authority is recommended by way of this Motion. This Motion is urgent because the owner is proceeding with construction and requires resolution of its parkland dedication requirements to enable the timely issuance of building permits and dedication of the parkland.
