As the city filed it
This staff report concerns a matter for which North York Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. The report responds to an application submitted by the owner of 2 Page Avenue requesting approval for a site-specific Fence Exemption from the requirements of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 447, Sections 1.2B(1) and 1.2C(1). The owner seeks permission to maintain an existing front yard fence comprised of wood and concrete fencing, including horizontal board fencing with astroturf panels, four concrete pillars, metal gates, and a concrete half wall, located within 2.4 metres of a circular driveway and within 2.4 metres of a lot line abutting a public highway.

The wood fencing ranges from approximately 1.9 metres to 2.0 metres in height. The concrete pillars range from approximately 2.0 metres to 2.28 metres in height and are approximately 40 centimetres square. The metal gates measure approximately 2.18 metres in height. The concrete half wall located between the driveway openings measures approximately 1.02 metres to 1.06 metres in height. The fence, pillars and gates exceed the maximum permitted height of 1.2 metres for a fence located within 2.4 metres of a lot line abutting a public highway. In addition, portions of the fence located within 2.4 metres of the driveway are constructed of solid wood and concrete materials and do not constitute open mesh chain-link fencing or equivalent open-fence construction as required under Chapter 447. Based on these conditions, the existing front yard fence does not comply with the requirements of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 447.
Staff recommended
The District Manager, Municipal Licensing and Standards, East District recommends that North York Community Council: 1. Refuse to grant the application for exemption by the owner of 2 Page Avenue because the fence fails to comply with the provisions of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447 Fences.
