E3ACKGROUND:
Metropolitan Toronto Habitat for Humnniry is a non•profit organiaation ihut builds housing for
nccdy fumilies using volun►ecr labour and donated mmcrials. Habitnt is purchasing Ihc
undeveloped block (Dlock 24, Plnn 40M-1366), locuted at the south limit of Dunn Cresccnt, for
the purposc of constructing two residcntinl units which will be linkcd underground. '17�e
orgnniwtion has asked thc Town for assistancc in rcducing thc costs of de��clopmenl of thc two
houses.
Stnff havc revicwcd thc proposal nnd hnvc Jetcrmined, given thc particular location of thc
development and Ihe small IikclihooJ of thc future development of the nbutting lands to Ihc
south, existing Town rcquiremrnts may be rclaxed to same cxtent in this case. In parlicular, stnff
have determincd, provided lhe owners und future occupanls ugrec lo thc rcduced standards, no
sidcwulks will bc requircd to tx canstructcJ in Gont of thc pro��scJ d�ccllings or on thc oppositc
sidc of Ihc strcet.
Given thc localion of Ihc cxisting storm scacr on I)unn Crcsccnt and givcn thnt it is vcry
unlikely thc lands lo thc sauth will bc Jevclo�d in thc fWUre, Ihc stnrtn se�r•cr on Dunn Crescent
will nat bc rcquircd lo be extendcd ncross Ihc frontage of thc subjecl lands nl this time. There is
n storm sewcr witliin an cascment on Ihc nonh edge of thc properly and rannections cun be made
to that sewer. To�m stnff anJ Pickcring Ilydro staff both agrce that no strcct light will be
rcquircd in front of thc proposed Jti�•cllings.
Thc organiration will bc rcquircd lo construct Ihc exlcnsion of Dunn Cresccnt to thc limit af Ihc
full Gonmge oC E31ock 24 (scc sketch ultachcd). This mccts thc'fown's usual requirements and is
necessnry to provide sufc uccess, providc adcquate snow cicazing operatious und wnste collection
operations and cnuses no risk to Ihc Town shoulJ thc road evcr bc cxlcndcd further south. Pnved
driveway nprons nre still rcquircd, bul a luming circic docs not havc to bc proviJcd.
Cush•in•lieu of parkland dedicalion will not be rcquircd prior to thc dcvclopmcnt of Block 24 as
