Residential Demolition Request - 3 and 5 Cadillac Drive

Both houses are expected to be demolished once the current Site Plan application, which proposes to build a 12 bed hospice facility, is completed. Throughout time the applicant has boarded up and secured both vacant lots to prevent break-ins, squatting and further damages to the buildings. The applicant has also requested Toronto Hydro to disconnect both vacant houses from the electric grid to serve as a deterrent for individuals trying to get inside. This request has since been denied. Unfortunately these measures were not enough to isolate the structures and the aforementioned fire broke out last weekend, posing a serious safety risk to the rest of the neighbourhood. Since the incident, the applicant and future developer for the site has then requested that both vacant houses at 3 and 5 Cadillac Drive are demolished as soon as possible, to avoid further dangerous scenarios.
