Request for Directions Report to the Dec 3rd meeting of North York Community Council.
The report seeks authorization for staff to oppose this at LPAT
From said report, a side by side comparison of various iterations of this proposal:
While in general, I find opposition here problematic, I must admit, cutting the parkland dedication to 19M2 (useless) seems to meant to annoy the City rather than be taken seriously.
Though, I would differ from the City who suggest any park have frontage on Chatsworth. It's a short block, and the existing ravine/park in behind has access from each end.
I would prefer to see a strip of roughly 10m at the rear of the site adding to the existing ravine which would be ecologically beneficial, and attractive to and useful for privacy for any new residents
I estimate such a strip would actually exceed the best offer made at this site, at roughly 350m2; but as that is still below 10% of the site, I think that's quite reasonable. The balance should be cash-in-lieu for best-in-class ecological restoration of the existing ravine, and for the new planting atop it.
