85 RES.#B24/09 - REQUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF TRCA OWNED LAND Rear of 2157 Lakeshore Boulevard West City of Toronto, Waterfront, CFN 41447. Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of a request from Lorraine Properties Limited for the sale of a parcel of TRCA-owned land located south of 2157 Lakeshore Boulevard West, City of Toronto, Lake Ontario waterfront.

Moved by: Ron Moeser Seconded by: Suzan Hall

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT a parcel of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) owned land containing 0.077 acres, more of less, located south of 2157 Lakeshore Boulevard West, being Part of Water Lots in front of Lots 9 and 10, Registered Plan 1229, City of Toronto (formerly City of Etobicoke) be declared surplus to the requirements of TRCA having followed established TRCA policies and appropriate public consultation process;

THAT an offer to purchase the property be invited from the abutting property owner at 2157 Lakeshore Boulevard West;

AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date regarding discussions with owner of 2157 Lakeshore Boulevard West. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Executive Committee Meeting #8/08, held October 3, 2008, Resolution #B117/08 was adopted:

THAT the potential disposal of a parcel of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)-owned land located south of 2157 Lakeshore Boulevard West, City of Toronto, be referred to TRCA staff for review in accordance with established TRCA policies;

AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action.

In accordance with TRCA's disposal policy the following action has been taken: z This request was circulated to TRCA technical staff, staff of the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department and staff of the Ministry of Natural Resources. The following comments were received:

TRCA's Technical Staff The subject property is not regulated by TRCA and does not have any natural heritage features.

City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Staff The subject property is not required by the City for parks and open space purposes. City staff has no objection to the disposal of this parcel of land.

86 Ministry of Natural Resources Staff Ministry of Natural Resources staff has no objection to the disposal of this parcel of land. z TRCA's intention to consider disposal of this parcel of land was publicized in the Toronto Star and Etobicoke Guardian on March 20, 2009. z A community consultation meeting was held by the City of Toronto on February 25, 2009, at the Polish Association of Toronto, 2282 Lakeshore Boulevard West at 7:00 p.m.. The purpose of the meeting was to provide an opportunity for the community to have input on an application by the owner or 2157 Lakeshore Boulevard West for an Official Plan and Zoning Amendment to permit: a 4-storey office/commercial building on the block fronting on Lakeshore Boulevard West; a 80-unit, 8-storey residential building proposed for the centre block of the property; and, a 306-unit, 36-storey mixed use residential with ground floor retail building on the southern most block of the property. In addition to the input requested on the planning applications, there was also an opportunity for the community to have input on the request from the owner of 2157 Lakeshore Boulevard West to purchase the parcel of TRCA-owned land.

No comments were received from the community consultation meeting relating to this proposed sale. The newspaper ads generated comments from three members of the community. Two individuals had no objection to the sale. The third individual indicated that we should not be doing anything to decrease further public views and access to the lake and we must preserve all the open space and nature we have left.

A plan illustrating the location of the subject lands is attached.

RATIONALE The subject property is located on the north side of Marine Parade Drive surrounded on three sides by mixed use development and is not connected to other TRCA ownership in this area. This property does not fall within the limits of the Revised Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park (March 1993). The subject land was expropriated from Proudfoot Motels Limited solely for the purpose of grading related to the construction of Marine Parade Drive by the City of Toronto (formerly City of Etobicoke). The expropriation settlement was finalized in late 2007. Since the construction of Marine Parade Drive was completed in approximately 1999, the expropriation settlement has been completed and there is no parks and open space requirement for the property, it is recommended that the property be declared surplus to TRCA's requirements.

FINANCIAL DETAILS It is proposed that the net revenue generated from the sale of this parcel be used to offset future funding requirements from the Province of Ontario and the City of Toronto under the Revised Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park (March, 1993).

91 RES.#B26/09 - STANDARDS FOR TRAIL SURFACES Report on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and municipal trail surface standards in the Toronto region.

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Suzan Hall

THAT the report on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and municipal trail standards in the Toronto region be received.

AMENDMENT RES.#B27/09

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Suzan Hall

THAT the following replace the main motion:

THAT the report on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and municipal trail standards in the Toronto region be circulated to the municipalities in TRCA's jurisdiction.

THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED

THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED

BACKGROUND TRCA's Executive Committee requested a report on Toronto region municipal trail surfacing standards for informational purposes. The following report is a compilation of the trail surfacing guidelines across the region. The TRCA trail construction guidelines are included because of the municipalities that reference TRCA guidelines as their standard.

TRCA Trail Guidelines The development of trails on TRCA-owned lands is guided by TRCA’s Trail Standards and Design Guidelines: A Handbook for an Inter-Regional Trail System in the Greater Toronto Area (1992).

Table 1 provides a summary of trail design and construction criteria included within TRCA’s Trail Standards and Design Guidelines.

92 Table 1: Trail Design and Construction Criteria Summary, TRCA Hiking Walking Skiing Equestrian Bicycle or Combined Combined Walking/ Walking/ Bicycle Bicycle (urban/ (rural/ high-use) low-use) Surface Type native with Native Native/ Native with Stone fines Asphalt spot hardened cleared spot hardening or paved flush hardening Desirable Grade 0-10 % 0-3 % 0-10 % 0-10 % 0-5 % 0-3 % Maximum Sustained 15 % 5 % 15 % 15 % 7-8 % 6 % Grade Minimum Clearing 1 m 2.5 m 2.5 m 2.5 m 4 m 7 m Width Minimum Clearing 2.5 m 3 m 3.5 m 3.5 m 3 m 3 m Height Trail Lengths min 1 km no min min 5 km min 5 km min 2 km min 2 km (+ refer to no real max 10 km max 2 km max 15 max 30 km+ max 10 km+ max 10 km maximum) km+ Tread Width 0.5 m 1.5 m 2.5 m 2.5 m 3 m 3 m

Municipal Trail Surfacing Guidelines Most of the municipalities in the Toronto region have informal trail construction guidelines. Surfacing is most often determined by projected use and trail location and is decided formally on a case by case basis. The following document outlines some local and regional municipal surfacing guidelines and illustrates the factors involved in trail construction choices for some of the municipalities in the Toronto region. The focus is largely on the local municipalities, and is not exhaustive.

City of Pickering The City of Pickering does not have any approved standards for trail surfacing. Any trails that are to be heavily traveled as multi-purpose trails are typically 3.0m wide asphalt surfaces. In Pickering parks where the trails are less traveled, stone screenings on a gravel base are used. The City of Pickering has also considered using wood chips on some of the minor trail systems through wooded areas, where accessibility is not as much of a concern (Arnold Mostert, City of Pickering).

Town of Ajax Ajax trail surfacing specifications are subject to trail use and location. "Trail Corridors" which connect the subdivisions and aid transportation, are paved. Bark mulch or stone screenings are used in natural or environmentally sensitive areas (Town of Ajax; Parks Services, 2009). Currently, Ajax is trying to promote "Trails as Active Transportation" and will therefore be looking to create more paved trails. Nothing is specified about the nature of the paving materials.

93 Region of York In York Region, multi-use trails are meant to connect walking and cycling pathways throughout the region. However, there are no specifications on trail construction that apply to the York Region as a whole in the York Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan (2008).

City of Brampton Brampton’s Block Plan Design Guidelines (2003) state that combined pedestrian/bicycle trails shall be paved but that trail development should be limited through wood lots in order to keep the existing vegetation healthy. Brampton’s Pathway’s Plan prioritizes multi-use trails and bike routes, both of which shall be paved. There is currently no exploration of permeable surfacing as a viable option in the City of Brampton trail design guidelines (City of Brampton Pathway’s Master Plan, 2002).

Town of Caledon While trail surfacing specifications are not currently included in the Caledon Trail Master Plan (2002), the plan is being updated for 2009 and will include construction and surfacing guidelines for Caledon region trails. In general, trails that connect housing subdivisions to downtown areas are paved, while trails through natural greenspaces are natural or limestone screening surfacing (Caledon Public Works, 2009).

City of Toronto The City of Toronto does not currently have trail construction guidelines but does much of its trail work in partnership with TRCA and therefore follows TRCA's guidelines and standards (Alex Shevchuk, Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation).

Town of Richmond Hill When considering which materials to use in a trail build, the Town of Richmond Hill takes the following factors in to consideration: z environmental protection; z safety; z accessibility; z desired trail experience; z maintenance.

Asphalt is used for surfacing main trails and some supporting connections while limestone screening or mulch is used for nature or "challenge" trails. The trail design and construction guidelines for Richmond Hill are well developed and can be found in the town’s Parks and Open Space Design and Construction Guidelines (2007).

City of Vaughan Surface options may include asphalt, concrete, granular and unit pavers, depending on the pathways intended use, setting and context. In urban areas, an asphalt surface is likely most appropriate, but it is recognized that in natural or environmentally-sensitive areas, a more natural surface type may be more suitable (City of Vaughan; Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan, 2008).

Town of Markham All trails are constructed using asphalt (or another hard surface) over compacted limestone screens (Lorenzo Mele, Engineering Department, Town of Markham). 94 Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville works in conjunction with TRCA on much of their trail construction projects and follows the TRCA Trail Planning and Design Guidelines (1992) when constructing trails in the area. This means that in town, trails are hard surface (i.e. asphalt) and in natural areas, trails are constructed using woodchips, or natural surfacing (Rob Raycroft, Leisure Services, Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville).

Township of Uxbridge The Township of Uxbridge uses wood chips for their trails in naturalized areas and limestone screenings through park areas. According to Town of Uxbridge staff, when these materials are compacted, both surfaces are accessible and fairly easy to maintain as well as accommodate bikes, strollers and wheelchairs for shorter distances. The Town of Uxbridge avoids the use of asphalt because of cost considerations (Bob Ferguson, Facilities, Town of Uxbridge).

RATIONALE Generally, urban trails in the Toronto region intended for multi-use, especially those designed for bikers and commuters, are paved. Nature trails and/or trails in environmentally sensitive areas are primarily surfaced with gravel or woodchips. For the most part, the municipalities do not follow regimented trail surface standard guidelines. One of the exceptions however, is Richmond Hill which has a progressive and well formulated trail surfacing protocol that can be reviewed in the Open Space Trail Design and Construction Guidelines (Town of Richmond Hill, 2007). Overall, trail surface is determined on a case-by-case basis and factors include trail location, permitted uses and user numbers.

RES.#B28/09 - ROYAL ROUGE TRAIL EROSION CONTROL PROJECT Summary of Royal Rouge Trail development planning history.

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Ron Moeser

THAT the report on Royal Rouge Trail Erosion Control Project be received.

AMENDMENT RES.#B29/09

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Ron Moeser

95 THAT the following replace the main motion:

THAT the report on Royal Rouge Trail Erosion Control Project be circulated to the Rouge Park Alliance.

THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED

THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED

BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #1/09 held on February 27, 2009, Resolution #A3/09 regarding the authorization to commence a Class Environmental Assessment for the Royal Rouge Trail Erosion Control Project was approved as follows:

THAT staff be directed to commence a Class Environmental Assessment for the Royal Rouge Trail Erosion Control Project, 30 – 48 Royal Rouge Trail, City of Toronto.

Further, Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker requested that staff provide additional information on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s (TRCA) involvement in the approval of the original subdivision plans for Royal Rouge Trail, and on the permit issued to the residents of 48 Royal Rouge Trail for the installation of a swimming pool.

The development and approval of the Deauville subdivision where Royal Rouge Trail is located, was reviewed by TRCA staff and approved by the City of Scarborough prior to the development of the Comprehensive Basin Management Plan, and the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program developed and adopted by TRCA in the 1990’s.

Planning of the subdivision began in 1983 with a comprehensive site analysis and inspection. The initial inspections were conducted by the geotechnical engineering firm Soil Eng on behalf of Deauville Developments Limited, and concluded with the following recommendations: z vegetation, topsoil, and slope should remain undisturbed; z concentrated runoff should not be allowed to drain onto the slope face; and z structures should be set back at least 10 metres away from the existing top of bank.

The report also identified that there is potential for shallow slope failures in the upper section of the valley wall in the proposed area of development as the result of the water drainage pattern for the tableland.

This report was included with the draft site development plan, when circulated to TRCA staff for review in October of 1984. The compiled comments from staff regarding the draft subdivision plan addressed the following concerns: z grading; z stormwater management; z acquisition of the valley lands; z fencing; and z set back requirements for all structures. 96 TRCA comments also addressed a circulated Zoning By-Law (15907) Amendment pertaining to the Royal Rouge Trail development which specified that all buildings and structures be set back 10 metres from the rear property line, coincidental to the TRCA staked top of slope.

As part of the planning process for the subdivision, the City of Scarborough arranged the sale of the valley slope lands included in the parcel owned by Deauville Developments Limited to TRCA, to be added to the network of acquired lands within the Rouge Valley Corridor.

TRCA’s Senior Plans Analyst provided comments to the City of Scarborough in September 1985 regarding the final registration of the subdivision stating that all of TRCA’s concerns, as previously noted, had been addressed and there were no further objections regarding the proposed plan.

Final approval of the subdivision was authorized by the City of Scarborough. In conjunction with the approval of this site development plan a By-law (15907) was established for the subdivision that required a 10 metre structural setback limit from the rear property line for all major earth works including houses and swimming pools.

At that time, TRCA’s role in the approval and permitting of subdivision developments was limited to acting in a review capacity, to aid the municipality in reviewing stormwater management plans and geotechnical reports, and to provide comments and recommendations to the municipality for consideration in the approval and issuance of permits for the application.

The adoption of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program in 1994 marked a significant step forward in TRCA’s role in the planning of new subdivisions within the Toronto region. The Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program represents the establishment of new policy directions based on the evolution of previous planning documents including:

1980 Watershed Plan and 1986 Update; Flood Control Program; Erosion Control Program (Valleylands component only); Conservation Land Management Program; Stormwater Management Program; 1982 Environmentally Significant Areas Study; 1985 Parking Lot Policy 1987 Flood Susceptible Sites Policy; 1990 Comprehensive Basin Management Strategy for the Rouge River Watershed; and 1991 Special Policy Areas Policies.

97 The results of the adoption of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program represent the amalgamation of a number of updated planning policies including the introduction of designated corridors from which setbacks be required to adhere to, creating greenspace between developed parcels of land and environmentally significant areas. This program specifically promoted the establishment of a standard 10 metre buffer between the long-term stable slope crest and the proposed development area. Further, it provided TRCA with a strategic direction for the implementation of the 1989 TRCA (Former MTRCA) Greenspace Strategy. With respect to this subdivision specifically, the properties in question are immediately adjacent to Rouge Park and fall within the area that is governed by the more restrictive policies and principles of the Rouge Park Management Plan, May 1994 which was introduced the same year as the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. The Rouge Park Management Plan is a provincial plan which states that where comprehensive redevelopment is proposed, the park boundaries are to be extended 30 metres inland from the long-term stable slope crest

In 1998 a minor variance application to install a swimming pool in the rear lot at No. 48 Royal Rouge Trail (Lot 32) was approved by the City of Toronto. TRCA’s involvement with this process was limited to providing property clearance for the site as the proposed placement of the structure did not fall within the regulated 10 metre structural setback limit from the top of bank. The following recommendations were also provided to the City of Toronto regarding the installation of the swimming pool: z All excavated fill material from pool installation works will be removed from the site. z Under no circumstance should any pool discharge be directed to the rear, over the slope. z All discharge should be directed into the homeowner’s sanitary system.

As TRCA did not issue a permit in this instance, there is no way of assuring that the recommendations provided to the City of Toronto were incorporated as restrictions in the permit, or enforced during construction. Further, it is noted that the comments to the City of Toronto identified that residents with properties directly adjacent to the crest of the valley slope in this subdivision had been cautioned previously about developing in their rear lots, as the area may be subject to future erosion.

An in-depth review of TRCA files indicate that the approved rear property line for this subdivision was generally the visual crest of the valley slope as staked by TRCA, concurrent with the recommendations of the Soil Eng report for the original subdivision development plan, and that the permitting and approval of swimming pools within this subdivision was regulated by the City of Toronto (former City of Scarborough), with TRCA providing only property clearance, for works not located within the 10 metre setback limit from the crest of the valley slope.

At the time that the properties on Royal Rouge Trail were developed, the setback limit was applied specifically to protect structures, and not the long-term value of the properties themselves. With changes to the planning process through the introduction of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, development setbacks are now applied from the long-term stable slope crest, whereby areas susceptible to natural processes such as erosion remain undeveloped.

98 As of May 2006, new regulation lines for this subdivision were put into effect requiring that a TRCA permit be obtained for any proposed site works within the regulated area under Regulation 166/06. An orthographic map of the subdivision with the new regulation line illustrated has been included for information purposes.

The Class Environmental Assessment recently commenced for this location is to prevent the significant loss of valuable tableland from erosion and slope instability, as identified in the Geotechnical Investigation and Slope Stability Analysis for 30 – 48 Royal Rouge Trail completed by Terraprobe Limited in 2008, as well as to preserve the ecological integrity of the Rouge Valley Corridor through this area.

10.23 THE TORONTO HUNT To site grade on Lot , Concession A Lot 33, Plan 1240, (1355 Kingston Road), in the City of Toronto (Scarborough Community Council Area), Waterfront Watershed as located on the property owned by The Toronto Hunt.

The purpose is to place and remove fill for the purpose of reconfiguring the layout of two greens within the golf course, including the planting of new vegetation and the minor removal of existing vegetation.

The permit will be issued for the period of April 17, 2009 to April 16, 2011 in accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: z Figure 5 Fairway No. 1 - Plan, prepared by Terraprobe, undated, received March 17, 2009, red-line revised by TRCA staff April 2, 2009.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The proposed works include the placement and removal of fill within the area of the 1st and 2nd greens of the Toronto Hunt Club Golf Course, located south west of Kingston Road and Warden Avenue, adjacent to the Scarborough Bluffs. Currently the existing configuration of the greens is such that portions of the greens are less than 8 meters from the existing crest of the Bluffs. The proposed reconfigured greens will not extend closer than 8 meters, and in most cases, 10 meters or more, to the crest of the Bluffs. No structures are proposed as part of this permit.

Control of Flooding: The proposed works are not within a Regional Storm flood plain, and therefore will not impact the storage or conveyance of flood flows.

Pollution: A sediment and erosion control fence will be erected around the limit of proposed works, and will be maintained throughout construction activities.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

131 Erosion: Proposed works are set back a minimum of 8 meters, and in most cases more than 10 meters from the crest of the Bluffs. Although a geotechnical report, approved by TRCA staff, shows that a portion of the proposed works are to occur beyond the long-term stable slope crest of the Bluffs, the proposal represents an improvement over existing conditions, where portions of the greens are located closer to the existing crest of the Bluffs. Because the scope of the works proposed to occur beyond the long-term stable slope crest includes only minor landscaping with the installation of golf turf, it has been determined that this is an acceptable disturbance.

Conservation of Land: The proposed works are not located within an area of significant natural heritage features.

Plantings Due to potential damage to or removal of trees within the area of proposed works, replacement trees will be planted, in accordance with City of Toronto requirements.

Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.2.2. H) - Existing Resource-based Uses - of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information:

Proposal: The proposal is to excavate for foundations, install deep founded foundation piles, construct a single family attached dwelling and site grade. The subject property is an existing single family lot of record located on the east side of Wembley Drive, north of Gerrard Street, east of Coxwell Street and backing onto the Williamson Park Ravine. The subject property is currently occupied by a parking pad and is one of the last remaining lots in a subdivision constructed earlier last century. Planning approvals were received prior to the area becoming regulated under O. Reg. 166/06 in 2006. The single family attached dwelling will be constructed at the same time as an associated dwelling at 61 Wembley Drive to the south.

133 Control of Flooding: The subject property is not located within a Regional Storm Floodplain and the proposal will therefore have no impact on the control of flooding.

Pollution: Temporary sediment control has been provided and the construction is located well away from a watercourse.

Dynamic Beaches: Not applicable.

Erosion: The proposed dwelling will be set back from the top of bank, the foundations will be founded to bedrock and the slope and buffer will be planted with native species to avoid surficial erosion. The construction of the foundation piles, foundation and grading will be supervised by a licenced Geotechnical Engineer. TRCA geotechnical engineering staff are satisfied that the proposal will have no impact on the long term stability of the slope.

Conservation of Land: The proposal is not located in a significant area and no significant vegetation will be removed.

Plantings Extensive native plantings and a ravine stewardship plan will be provided for the slope and the buffer between the proposed dwellings and the top of bank.

Policy Guidelines: The proposed works are consistent with Section 4.2.1., Development and Redevelopment/Intensification Within Established Communities/Highly Urbanized Areas, of the TRCA's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.
