July 31 SLNA Delegate Meeting Report

8/14/2019

0 Comments

 
​Following are highlights from the recent SLNA Delegates and Community Meeting on July 31, 2019.

Interim SLNA President, Sharon McMillan opened the meeting. Delegates and other community members were given the opportunity to introduce themselves and the buildings/home associations that they represent.

City Review of Billy Bishop Airport Plan
  • Bryan Bowen, Project Manager for the Waterfront Secretariat - City of Toronto, discussed slides that highlighted the City of Toronto's review of the 2018 Billy Bishop Airport Master Plan (download slides)
  • The City raised a number of issues related to noise, transportation, public realm and the environment. There was also concern about the impact of pending federal safety regulations that would require changes to the airport - changes that would exceed some of the parameters set forth in the current tripartite agreement between the city, the province and the federal government.
  • Given the number of questions and concerns raised and the pending deadline for submissions, members recommended that the SLNA not take a position on the Billy Bishop Airport's current Master Plan.
    ​
Councillors' Reports

Eddy LaRusic for Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam's Office (Ward 13):
  • A presentation on the collection and use of Section 37 Funds will be presented to SLNA members at the September Meeting.
  • NOTE: Section 37 is a section of the Ontario Planning Act that "enables the City to negotiate contributions towards local community benefits for development applications that exceed a site’s zoned height and density. Unlike other municipal financing tools such as Development Charges and Parkland Contributions, Section 37 benefits are provided primarily in the local community within which the development is located." 
  • Construction has begun on the North Market.
  • An update was provided on the Downtown East Action Plan which is focused on providing cleanliness, safety, and harm reduction services in vulnerable areas of the downtown area.

Tom Davidson for Councillor Joe Cressy's Office (Ward 10)
  • In response to the SLNA's request for an update on the provision of Traffic Wardens at high traffic locations in the neighbourhood, it was reported that the matter is a priority. At present there are insufficient personnel available to assume the role of Traffic Warden. The current focus is on securing appropriate training and preparation for individuals who can then legally assume the role.
  • Gardiner Rehabilitation project priority overnight work  - this work has been approved by the city, however if residents are finding the noise excessive they are to call 311 and make a report.

SLNA Board Report
  • SLNA Director Jamie Cappelli reported that the board recognized the need for the SLNA to have a formal policy documentation process. All policies should be collected and stored in one place to facilitate easy and timely access.
  • A policy committee is to be struck to research and coordinate this effort. Any members interested in being a part of the policy committee should contact the SLNA board - email address: [email protected].  

Proceeds from the sale of The Space Unit - Update on Allocations
  • S. McMillan reported that of the $15,477.69 received by the SLNA (as proceeds from the sale of the SLNA's interest in The Space unit) $8,150 had been allocated towards proposals received from the SLNA community.
  • The balance left is $7,327.69.  SLNA community members are encouraged to submit their proposals to the SLNA board by the deadline: August 9.  Send proposals to: [email protected].

Meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
