Second Humbertown Redevelopment Meeting - Post from Councillor Gloria Lindsay Luby
Thursday October 18th, 2012
Martingrove Collegiate Institute, 50 Winterton Drive
Open House: 6:30 PM to 7:00 PM
Community Meeting: 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
This is the second meeting on this matter. It is primarily intended for those who could not attend the first meeting or were turned away at due to the overwhelming turnout. The auditorium holds approximately 750 people.
I appreciate the massive concern and interest in this matter, but I ask that in fairness we give priority to those who could not attend the first meeting so they can listen to the presentation and ask questions. The developer has not changed the application since the September 11th meeting and will have the same presentation.
If you cannot make this meeting, you can also attend Community Council in the New Year where you will have an opportunity to express your opinion and concerns. The date of that will be publicized in the near future.
We continue to make it clear to First Capital Realty that this community will not accept the proposed density and height and ask them to work with the neighbourhood before proceeding further in their application. The Working Group and the Humber Valley Village Residents Association have done an excellent job in making the community aware of our concerns. I am extremely grateful for their hard work and dedication in this effort. If you would like a sign to express your opposition to the project, please visit: http://www.savehumbertown.com/
At the May 15th Community Council meeting I moved the following motions on the proposed development and expect staff to uphold these points before writing their final report:
• The director of community planning include in his review of First Capital Realty's application a thorough examination of the contextual surroundings of Humbertown Shopping Centre, considering all potential impacts on the community, as well as the need to preserve the unique character and long-term stability of the residential communities that surround the site;
• Planning staff consider potential alternative development concepts that arise out of the working group discussions, and that may provide a more compatible relationship between the development and the surrounding communities in terms of height, density, land-use mix, traffic impact and overall urban design;
• Council direct a qualified consultant to be retained by the city in order to provide an independent peer review of the retail market analysis/ market impact assessment report which was provided on behalf of the proponent;
• The city reaffirm its support and further clarify the mandate of the working group to include the active participation of the appointed city planners, the city, the proponent, and the designated residents associations with the intent that issues and concerns arising from the application may be discussed and resolved while the city's review is ongoing.
The project remains too big, too dense, and too tall for this community. I will continue to oppose this plan at Community Council and City Council and appreciate your support for my position.
I'm looking forward to seeing you on October 18th.

Monarch Soon To Unveil 'The Epicurean'
The following blog post is from UrbanToronto.ca, and written by http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2012/08/monarch-soon-unveil-epicurean A community meeting will be held September 20th, 2012 at 6:30pm in the Community Room at Montgomery's Inn.
"The site at 4187 Dundas West has had an longer history than most. For many years a gas station before being converted into a restaurant, in March 2007 Dunpar Homes submitted an application to build a 10-storey condominum on the site to be branded as The Strand. Council did not approve Dunpar's application so the company removed three storeys from the building and appealed to the Ontario Municpal Board inFebruary 2008. Under the name Kingsway Residents Against Poor Planning (KRAPP), the community ralliedagainst the project, but the application won support and Dunpar was granted permission to construct a building of which: "The maximum building height shall not exceed 7 storeys and 24.5 metres."
The Strand became a victim of the recession in 2008 but was later reincarnated by Dunpar as Kingsway Terrace.

Kingsway Terrace failed to attract enough buyers and the project was cancelled. Now completely redesigned and being spearheaded by the Monarch Corporation, new advertising at the site is promoting The Epicurean,its byline proclaiming Where Foodies Live. In Part 1 of his UrbanToronto interview from two weeks ago, Brad Carr hinted that "We have a brand new site at Dundas and Prince Edward where we’ll be bringing an 8-storey, more empty-nester-specific building to that market. We expect a more upper-end down-sizing buyer there." Monarch is aiming to attract culinary-inspired buyers here with amenities aimed at entertaining guests.
Hoarding advertising for the Monarch Group's The Epicurean
As of today, the Monarch Corporation's website has only a 'coming soon' page for The Epicurean but UrbanToronto expects that details should be made public shortly."

Memo from City of Toronto: New Draft City-wide Zoning By-law
The report at the link provided summarizes the concerns raised by the appellants and summarizes, chapter by chapter, the changes made to the new draft in comparison to the previous Zoning by-Law. The report also makes recommendations with respect to the consultation and reporting schedule for the consideration of the new draft of the Zoning By-law.
Many of the concerns expressed by the appellants of By-law 1156-210 related to transition from the old to the new zoning regime with respect to the treatment of "pipeline" development applications, the recognition of minor variance and by-law permissions, and the treatment of existing buildings.
