3 Hartfield Road - Request for City Solicitor to Attend at the Toronto Local Appeal Body - Appeal of Committee of Adjustment Decision (A0338/20EYK) - by Councillor Stephen Holyday, seconded by Councillor Michael Ford

The variances sought relate to lot coverage, dwelling length, front yard setback, building height, height of main pedestrian entrance, number and area of platforms at the second and third floor. Planning staff, in its original report to the Committee of Adjustment, raised concerns with respect to the Application. Subsequently, Planning staff wrote a revised report recommending that the Committee of Adjustment defer hearing the Application in order for the applicant to provide revised drawings for City staff to review. Planning staff opines that the Application represents over-development of the site, is not keeping with the existing physical character of the neighbourhood, amongst other issues. The Committee of Adjustment approved the Application. This Motion will direct the City Solicitor to appeal the Decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body in order to oppose the Application. The final day to appeal the Decision is April 12, 2021.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to retain outside consultants as may be necessary in order to oppose the Application. 3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to attempt to negotiate a resolution regarding the Application and Appeal, and City Council authorize the City Solicitor to resolve the matter on behalf of the City, in the City Solicitor's discretion, after consulting with the Ward Councillor and with the Director of Community Planning, Etobicoke District.
