    The Old Mill area along the Humber RiverWhat are its historical, heritage, cultural and tourist interests?By: Madeleine McDowell Chair, Humber Heritage Committee

    Here, directly across from the Old Mill Parking lot on a boulder to withstand the ice and floods is theNational bronze Plaque, written in Mississauga, English and French, commemorating the designation ofthe Humber as a Canadian Herit age River.The Toront o Carryi ng Place or le Portage de Toronto is an aboriginal trail more than 4000 years old,which follows the high ground on the east bank of the Humber, and was a link in the native trade routebetween the Gulf of Mexico and the North Shore of Lake Huron/Lake Superior. The French subsequentlyused it and later the British. A portion of the Trail is visible from here. It is redolent of names suchas Brule, Hennepin, Pere, Joliet, La Salle and Du Lhut continues on page 6

    Montgomery Road TrafficCalming ReportBy: Linda L. McCarron KPRI Director

    On February 13, 2007 a petition, as per city policy, signed byover 70% of the residents on Montgomery Road wasforwarded to Councillor Miczyn. As a result of this petition theTraffic Operations - Etobicoke York Department issued the

    results of a traffic study in December 2007. A synopsis of thisreport was hand delivered to each residence on MontgomeryRoad. Montgomery Road is classified as a COLLECTOR ROADthe same as The Kingsway. This Traffic Operations reportindicated that the 85th percentile for vehicle speeds was45km/h to 51km/h. The posted speed limit is MAXIMUM 40km/h. (Particularly in a School Zone). The technical summarywhich allows "criteria points" for pedestrian generation omittedOur Lady of Sorrows Elementary School, Etobicoke CollegiateHigh School, The Montgomery Road Pool, Fitness Centre,

    Arena and Tennis Courts. Also omitted were Sharon HouseConvalesent Home, the Montgomery Inn and the BaptistChurch. The road has been assessed in 2008 by the RoadOperations Department and should be scheduled for

    reconstruction in the next five years under the City CapitalWork Projects. The design should include sidewalks on theWEST side only and narrow 26" curb to curb traffic lanes (aproven traffic calming device).

    The issue of excessive speed not only affects the residents onMontgomery Road, but countless residents living east ofMontgomery who must attempt to cross the road to access allof the establishments listed.

    New Two Way for The KingswayBy: Mary L. Campb ell KPRI DirectorThe KPRI had requested and the design was approved for anew 2 way roadway on The Kingsway from GovernmentRoad to before Royal York Road. I.e. The 2 way wouldNOT extend to Royal York Road where there is a right turnonly. This would enable residents after many years to beable to turn to the right/east out of their driveways, and gosouth.

    *The new centre lines and signs are now in place as of

    October 23, 2008 with much thanks to Mr. Eric Leon fromthe city.

    Councillor Lindsay-Luby has confirmed that she will contactthe Traffic Operations Department and have the traffic calmingissue re-investigated. Councillor Milczyn has also been madeaware of this request. Upon completion of the study the issuewill be brought to community council for debate.

    2. Council did not consider the impact of the 10-storeycondominium with respect to historical, heritage, cultural andtourist interests in the area, including the designation of the

    Humber as Canadas 26 t h Herit age River , thedesignation of the Old Mill Bridge under the OntarioHeritage Act by the City of York and the City of Etobicoke,and the numerous plaques near the Old Mill, such thatcommemorate the Old Mill Ruins, the life of explorert ienne Brl, the Toronto Carry ing Place Trail and the50th anniversary of the Hurr ican Hazel Disaster in 1954.3. Council did not receive full disclosure and information onthe land exchange deal in 1984 involving the Old Mill,Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, City of Etobicokeand City of York that in essence prohibited any buildingon the entir e parking area, including the upper parkinglot, site of the proposed development.

    Why some taxpayers are upset over t he mult i-mill iondollar windf all of the Old Mill owners who acquiredprime land off Old Mill Road at a net paym ent of $0 attaxpayers expense and are not upholding t heirbargain in the land exchange deal that l imit s the useof the upper parking lot t o surface parking only?Aland exchange occurred in 1984 between the owners of theOld Mill, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority andthe former Cities of Etobicoke and York. Staff did not reportthe land exchange deal to Council prior to the vote in March2008. The deal was made to accommodate the Old Mill Innsneed to expand its parking facility after it obtained a permitissued by the Conservation Authority to build a parkingstructure. After much debate recorded in the City of YorkPlanning Board minutes and City of York Council minutes, theOld Mill relinquished the permit and acquired prime land offOld Mill Road from the Conservation Authority (for $500) andfrom the City of York (for $2000) to expand its surfaceparking lot in exchange for its land-locked property off theHumber River that the Conservation Authority acquired (for$2500), amounting to a net payment of $0 . The dealinvolved the City of Etobicoke to rezone the ENTIRE parkingarea (upper and lower parking lots) from Commercial toPrivate Open Space limited to surface parking. Restrictivecovenants prohibiting development were filed on title to theproperties exchanged in the deal. The intent w as thatthere w ould be no build on the ENTI RE parking area,including the upper parking lot, site of t he proposeddevelopment. Old Mill acquiesced to the deal byrelinquishing the permit and by further entering into anagreement with respect to landscaping the area. Forcomplete details and supporting documents, visit KPRIswebsite.

    Why is i t important to get involved? The Old Mill areahas significant importance to our history, heritage, cultureand tourism. Up until this time, despite the encroachment ofmodern life, the scene of the Humber has remained pastoraland idylic to this day. We have been able to preserve thehistoric setting and vistas of the Humber. This developmentwould be the first significant blight imposing itself above the

    A scenic view of the Humber, across from the proposed 10-storey condominium that will drastically impact on thepastoral and serene setting of the Old Mill area ifdevelo ed.

    Benjamin Frobisher recommended it as the preferred route tothe West in the 1780s, it was mapped by Augustus Jones by1793, Lieut. Gov. Simcoe traveled it in 1793 and GeneralBrock dispatched a detachment up it to capture Fort

    Mackinac from the Americans in 1812. The National Sites andMonuments Plaque to the Toronto Carrying Place is located ina small park to the south of Baby Point on Humbercrest Blvd.

    Here betw een Lake Ont ario and Weston is 5 miles ofriver valley virtually devoid of Urban intrusion,complete wit h tr ails, where w alkers and cyclistsmarvel at t he blissful quiet and isolation f rom a city ofalmost 2.5 mill ion .

    Across the River is the place where Robert Rene Cavelier deLaSalle camped for two weeks in August of 1680, and withwhich his record of his journey of discovery to the Mississippibegins on August 22nd 1680.

    Here, moved from the Parking Lot to the north side of OldMill Road, is a Cannon, possibly traceable back to the FrenchRegime in Toronto.

    Here is the historic Toronto River which LieutenantGovernor John Graves Simcoe renamed the HumberRiver , with Canadas 26th Heritage River Designation.

    Here was Torontos first industr ial building - the Kings

    Mill a sawmill built in 1793, to provide the boards for FortYork and the new Town of York. Mrs. Simcoe wrote of theexcellence of the bread that the millers wife made.

    Here shortly to the south were the Dennis Boat Yards,builders of Naval ships, such as the Yacht Toronto, for whichthe Kings Mill supplied the wood.

    Here, there followed a series of Mills, both Grist andSawmills, the last of which the Gamble Mi ll was built in1846 by Wm. Tyrell. It burnt in 1881, and its ruinsbecameknown as The Old Mill.

    the Applicant, City of TorontoCharles Campbell and Dawne Jubb, for the Appellant

    Kingsway Residents Against Poor Planning

    A. Dryer and A. Brown, for the Respondent DunparDevelopments

    HEARD AT TORONTO: September 29, 2008

    E N D O R S E M E N T

    Ast on J.

    [1] The City of Toronto (the City) and Kingsway ResidentsAgainst Poor Planning (Kingsway) both bring identicalmotions seeking leave to appeal to the Divisional Court froman OMB decision dated February 6, 2008 (the Campbell

    decision).[2] Leave to Appeal is sought with respect to four specificquestions:(i)Did the Board err in failing to apply or properly interpret s.2.1 and 24 of the Planning Act?(ii)Did the Board err in approving a zoning by-lawamendment without finding that the amendment conformedto the Citys in force Official Plan policies?(iii)Did the Board err in law and misconstrue the ClergyPrincipal in deciding that the repealed Etobicoke Official Planwas the determinative Official Plan, rather than the Citys inforce Official Plan?(iv)Did the Board err and exceed its jurisdiction by failing toapply the six-storey height restriction for the Commercial

    Residential Strip contained in s. 4.4 of the repealedEtobicoke Official Plan to the seven/eight storey height limitpermitted by the zoning by-law amendment approved by theBoard?

    [3] Pursuant to s. 96 of the Municipal Act, leave is onlygranted:(a)on a question of law,(b)if the question of law is sufficiently important to warrantthe attention of the Divisional Court, and(c)there is reason to doubt the correctness of the decision orthe Boards interpretation of the law.

    [4] The Board decided as a threshold issue, on a motionbrought by Kingsway and supported by the City, that the

    repealed Etobicoke Official Plan (EOP) could not beamended that Dunpars pending Appeal to the Boardseeking such relief was a nullity (the Jackson decision).However, the Jackson decision also clearly contemplated the

  • 7/31/2019 08 Fall Final

    9/12

    KPRIFall 2008 Page9

    weight to be given to evidence on the former EtobicokeOfficial Plan and the current Toronto Official Plan is a matterfor the hearing.

    [5] The Application of the Clergy Principle was within theBoards discretion as a matter of its own practice andprocedure. In both the Jackson decision and the Campbelldecision, the Board acknowledged flexibility in the applicationof that principle. Evidence was ultimately heard, consideredand weighed in the context of both Official Plans. As requiredby s.2.1 of the Planning Act, the Board had regard to the

    Citys decisions in relation to the planning matters in questionand to the information and material City Council consideredin making its decisions. All that evidence was led, or couldhave been led, by Kingsway and the City.

    [6] It is not an error of law for the Board to conclude that theToronto Official Plan (TOP) was not the Official Plan ineffect for the purposes of the Appeal before it. To holdotherwise would be to effectively abolish the Clergy Principle.The Clergy Principle is well established, notwithstanding thelanguage of s.24 of the Planning Act.

    [7] A fair reading of the Campbell decision in its entiretysupports the conclusion the Board would have granted a sitespecific amendment of s.4.4.4 of the EOP to accommodate

    Dunpars proposal for its seven/eight storey development butfor the Jackson decision which took such an amendment outof consideration. Member Campbell properly concluded shewas bound by the unchallenged Jackson decision in thatregard. However, the Board did not exclude evidence relatingto planning policy, planning considerations or the new TOP.To the contrary, the Campbell decision considered andweighed all the evidence tendered, giving reasons forpreferring some expert evidence over other evidence.Member Campbell went on to specifically consider whetherthe proposed building was consistent with principles of goodplanning, and was appropriate having regard to thePlanning Act, the PPS, both Official Plans, the DundasStreet West Avenue Study, the applicable zoning by-laws

    (including the Dundas Street West Avenues by-law) and therelevant Urban Design Guidelines, including the DundasStreet West Urban Design Guidelines.

    [8] The Board did not ignore the evidence tendered by the

    City or Kingsway; it merely discounted its importance indetermining the evidence in this area is of limitedrelevance.

    [9] In determining that the evidence relating to the TOP wasadmissible and relevant but not determinative, the Boardapplied the Clergy Principle in a manner consistent with thediscretion of the Board and its decisions in Dumart v.Woolwich(Township) [1997] OMBD No. 1817 and JamesDick Construction Limited v. Caledon (Town) [2003]OMBD No. 1195.

    [10] I conclude the Board committed no error on anyquestion of law. The motions for leave to appeal aretherefore dismissed.

    [11] By agreement, costs in favour of the respondent DunparDevelopments Inc. are fixed at $10,000.00 inclusive of GST

    and disbursements. If the moving parties are unable to agreeon the apportionment of those costs, brief writtensubmissions may be made within the next 30 days.

    The Shared Path-Le Sentier Partag

    An Historical park along theHumber RiverBy: Lisette Mallet Coordinator for Le sentierPartag-the Shared Path

    The Humber River, originally known as the Toronto River,and the Toronto Carrying Place gave our city its name. It

    played a key role in our Native, French and English history,and provided the foundation of our early economicdevelopment. An outflow of the Oak Ridges moraine, theriver is of primary ecological importance, and shelters anabundance of plant and animal life.

    For over a decade and especially in the last 18 months theSocit dhistoire de Toronto (SHT) has been stronglyadvocating the creation of a Toronto Historical Park - aheritage greenway or Shared Path along the Humber River.The SHT wishes to take advantage of the existing park andtrail network and to capitalize upon the Humber Riversnatural and cultural heritage. Its purpose is to highlight theinter-relationship of the First Nations, French and English orthe Shared Path along the Humber River in Toronto.

    The Historical park project is making progress. The Torontoand Region Conservation Authority ( TRCA) formally adoptedthe proposition to create a historical park along the Humberand has forwarded this endorsement to the Parks Director atthe City of Toronto. Parks Planning has formed aninterdepartmental committee within the city involving TRCA,Heritage Toronto and Socit d'histoire to see this projectthrough as far as it is possible within our means. We'vedetermined some of its objectives and are in the process ofdetermining some of the actions that will have to take placeto meet these objectives.

    Meanwhile a few actions are already underway according tothe opportunities. The South Kingsway/Queenswayintersection reconfiguration means improvements to theJean-Baptiste Rousseaux site and the Carrying Place trail.

    Some tree planting has already occurred in Etienne BrlPark etc.

    This project is huge yet simple and we count on communitysupport to build something to show the rest of the countrythat Toronto truly has a soul and its not at the Eaton Centre.
