Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on February 5, 2020 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes the creation of a common elements condominium for 45 recently constructed townhouse dwelling units at 1001 Ellesmere Road (Block 1).  The common elements will consist of the rear driveways providing access from Jolly Way, various acoustical sound barriers, as well as landscaped strips along the east lot line adjacent to the Scarborough RT Line and, including chain link fencing, along the south lot line as well.  The application is required to ensure ownership and maintenance of these shared common elements will be assumed by the Common Elements Condominium Corporation when established.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019).  The creation of the Common Elements Condominium is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands.

This report advises that the Chief Planner may approve the Draft Plan of Condominium (Common Elements).  In addition, this report recommends that the City Solicitor be authorized to take the necessary steps to release the Section 118 Restriction from title to the Parcels of Tied Land at such time as confirmation is received that the Common Elements Condominium has been registered.
