Final Report - Rental Housing Demolition Application - 470, 490 and 530 Wilson Avenue
This report recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition application to demolish and replace 110 rental dwelling units, subject to conditions. A Rental Housing Demolition application at 470, 490 and 530 Wilson Avenue seeks approval to demolish two existing residential apartment buildings at 470 and 490 Wilson Avenue. Both buildings contain 110 rental dwelling units. All 110 units would be replaced within a new residential building on the property. A commercial building is located at 530 Wilson Avenue and would also be demolished to enable the proposed development. The related Zoning By-law Amendment application for a condominium apartment building and a rental apartment building property at 470, 490 and 530 Wilson Avenue was the subject of a settlement hearing at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) (Case No. PL171059) on October 9, 2018. City Council approved the settlement for the application subject to a number of conditions including the rental replacement. The final LPAT Order is being held until all outstanding matters, including the necessary agreements with the City, are secured. The approval permits two 12-storey residential buildings which would contain 551 residential units, including 110 replacement rental dwelling units and would also secure an additional fifty (50) rental units.

Renaming of Karen's Way extending between Barberry Place and Rean Drive
At its meeting of July 4, 2018, the North York Community Council adopted Item NY32.92 approving the name "Karen's Way" for the unassumed street extending between Barberry Place and Rean Drive. At a subsequent meeting on July 23, 2018, the North York Community Council adopted Item NY33.2 enacting Bylaw #1036-2018 to authorize the naming of the unassumed street between Barberry Place and Rean Drive as "Karen's Way". On March 4, 2019 the North York Preservation Panel, with support from Councillor Carroll, requested a renaming of "Karen's Way" to "Thomas Clark Way" in recognition of an important early settler from the area. The proposed name "Thomas Clark Way" complies with the Policy, however, renaming of streets is addressed in section 3.4 of the Street Naming Policy which states: "3.4 Streets that have been named, renamed, or assigned a ceremonial name within the previous ten years will not be renamed." Because the original naming of this street occurred in 2018, a renaming at this time is not in compliance with the Street Naming Policy. Therefore, this report recommends that the renaming be rejected. Community Councils have delegated authority to decide street naming matters which comply with the Street Naming Policy. As this renaming is not in compliance with the Street Naming Policy, North York Community Council does not have delegated authority to approve a renaming. Any renaming of this street at this time would require the consideration and approval of City Council.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council grant an exemption to its Street Naming Policy and rename "Karen's Way", extending between Barberry Place and Rean Drive, to "Thomas Clark Way".

Residential Access Appeal - 257 St. Germain Avenue
This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision provided it is in keeping with City policy or by-laws. Transportation Services is objecting to a proposed second residential access for 257 St. Germain Avenue at the rear of the premises off of Greer Road to access a new parking pad on private property that will be located between the residences and property lines of 255 St. Germain Avenue and 214 Greer Road. The proposed second access does not comply with the City of Toronto Driveway Entrance Policy that was approved by City Council. This policy stipulates that a residence having a frontage that is less than 15.2 metres in width does not qualify for more than one driveway entrance. The frontage of 257 St. Germain Avenue is 7.6 metres wide and there is an existing access leading to the integral garage off of St. Germain Avenue. In addition, the proposed 2.6 metre wide access between the extended property lines of the owners of 255 St. Germain Avenue and 214 Greer Road is narrow and would be difficult to navigate given the existing retaining wall at the City sidewalk which is adjacent to the proposed access, and the proposed 0.4 metre wide landscape strip. Furthermore, 257 St. Germain Avenue is not a corner property, and therefore, a second residential access off of Greer Road should be denied for this residence. The proposed second access does not comply with the City's Driveway Entrance Policy or the provisions of Chapter 743-42, Streets and Sidewalks, Use of, Article VII Clauses A and E. The owner will be given an opportunity to make a deputation before Community Council.
North York Community Council: 1. Refused the request for a second access off of Greer Road at 257 St. Germain Avenue.

The intersection of Joicey Boulevard and Harley Avenue is a two-way stop, with east-west traffic on Joicey Boulevard stop controlled. There are no sidewalks on either street. I am asking that all-way stop control study be conducted, as the intersection is a significant safety concern within the local community. The collision history of the intersection reveals that there have been four collisions over three years, however it has been the site of numerous near vehicle collisions that have been witnessed by local residents. The four collisions reported at this intersection may have been preventable by all-way stop control. The intersection is an anomaly within the neighbourhood, as all-way stop control is the norm at intersections in the immediate area, making it easy for motorists to assume that Joicey and Harley is an all-way stop. A study was conducted on February 5, 2019, however due to the frigid weather conditions the study might have impacted the vehicle and pedestrian volume results on that given day. In consideration of local community and residents having expressed great concern towards this intersection, I therefore ask that City Staff report back to North York Community Council on May 22nd, 2019 with a report on installing all-way stop control to help direct the traffic and protect both the safety of the motorists' and the pedestrians at that intersection.
North York Community Council: 1. Requested Transportation Services to report to North York Community Council on May 22, 2019 with a report on installing all-way stop control at the intersection of Joicey Boulevard and Harley Avenue.
