Item - 2022.TE34.64

The Toronto and East York Community Council:  

1. Granted the application for an exemption permit to the property owners of 99 Broadway Ave., thereby allowing the proposed fence to be installed. Directed and required that the installation be maintained in good repair without alteration. Directed and required that at such time as replacement of the fence is required that such installation will comply with Municipal Code Chapter 447, Fences, or its successor by-law.

This staff report concerns a matter for which the Toronto and East York Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

The purpose of this report is to advise Community Council concerning an application by the property owner of 99 Broadway Ave. for a site-specific Fence Exemption, pursuant to Section 447-1.5(B) of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447- Fences. The property owner is seeking Community Council's permission to keep a fence for a pool enclosure at the height of 1.2 metres. This pool fence enclosure will be located on the 6th floor podium of 95-99 Broadway Ave. This outdoor terrace is flanked on the north and south by the two condominium towers. The east and west sides has 2.0 metres wind screens.  This would not comply with the standards stipulated by Section 447-1.3 D. Namely, Pool fence on Multiple Residential Property is to be at least 1.8 metres in height.
