The full agenda, as filed
All 4 items in the clerk’s order. Each carries the city’s own words: the staff recommendation, what the body decided, and its status. Nothing below is written by us.
PB10.1adopted
This report recommends that City Council refuse an application to demolish a heritage structure on the property at 206 Russell Hill Road, which is subject to Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Under the Act, if City Council fails to make a decision on the application within 90 days of issuing a Notice of Receipt of the application, the application is deemed to be permitted under Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Based on issuance of the Notice of Receipt, the applicant must be notified of Council's decision by December 1, 2019.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the Toronto and East York Community Council that: 1. City Council refuse the issuance of a demolition permit for the heritage property at 206 Russell Hill Road, in accordance with Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act. 2. If the owner appeals City Council's decision to refuse the issuance of a demolition permit under Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act for the heritage property at 206 Russell Hill Road, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and the necessary City staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) hearing in opposition to the appeal.

PB10.2adopted
This report recommends that City Council include the properties at 96 Laird Drive, 180 Laird Drive and 20 Research Road on the City of Toronto Heritage Register. The properties are located on the west side of Laird Drive between Vanderhoof Avenue and Millwood Road and the north side of Research Road. As part of the Laird in Focus Planning Study, City Planning initiated a Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) to ensure that all properties of cultural heritage value or interest were appropriately identified, understood and conserved as part of an up-to-date planning framework. The three properties identified for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register, along with the four properties already listed on Laird Drive highlight the 1920s -1940s as a period of significance in the development of Leaside, when many finely crafted buildings were constructed as part of the Town of Leaside's growth. Together, the six properties on Laird Drive enrich the understanding of the area's sense of place and demonstrate the continued importance of this historic commercial and industrial spine for Leaside's growth and prosperity. The property on Research Road is one of the rare surviving structures representing Leaside's major contribution to Canada's military in both world wars. All of these properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register. Properties on the City's Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the North York Community Council that: 1. City Council include the following properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register: 96 Laird Drive 180 Laird Drive 20 Research Road
