1.0 Additlonallnfortnntion
1.1 Complaint about City Development Charges:
Complaints about development charges arc govcmed by the Developnien! Charges Ac!
1997, which states in articla 20. (1) Uiat:
"A petaon required to pay a development c6arge, ur thc peraon'a agent, may complain
fo tLe counc0 of lhe munlcipalfty impoaiog 16e development c6erge ihat,
(a) Ihe amount o[the development c6arge wns Incorcectly determined;
(b) whethcr a credit t� avAilable to be used againet fhe development charge, or the
amonnt of lhe credit or the aervlce with respcct to which the credit wae giveu, was
incorrecqy JetermineJ; or
(c) lhero wne an error in the Appllcatiou of the Jevelopment charge by-law."
The owricr's leticr of complaint is atleched to this report. Thc basis for thc complaint
appcnrs lo be lhat a crcdit should be given tbr an cxisling dwelling having previously'
existed on We sitc, which wes demolished in 1981. With respect lo allowing such credils,
By-luw 5546/99, which came into torcc on Seplember 1, 1999, sWles in subsection 1(3)
that: •
"An owner wBo haa o6taiaed a demolltiou permit and demolLthed eiLtting dwelling
unita or non-reaidential area in accordsnce with the provL�ionn of the BulldJng Code
Ac! ahall not be eubject to t6e development cherge under aubaection (i) with re�pect to
t6e development being replACed, provided that the building permit for the replacemcot
realdeutial unit� or non-residential area ie L�aued not more thnn 5 yearo after the dAtc
of demolition, and provided that any dwellfng unila or addiHoaal non-reaidenNal tioor
arca'created in e:c°.va of what wa� demolished ahwll be aubjcet to the Jevelopment
churge calculated under aection 6 and 11, reepectfvely."
The Ictter of wmplaint cites the demolidon of a dwellwg unit on lhe subjcet propecty
appro�cimately 19 ye�cs ago as lhe reason a credit for develupment chargCs s6ould huve ban
allowed in this cese. Since By-law 5546/99 requites tlwt wt existing building must have
been demolished not more ihan 5 years before the fssuaace of the ccplecement building
pem�it, the Chief Building Official must apply thc cherge os specsed in the by-law. Thc
building pennit eppltcatioaa wete filed nfter tha ef%cQve dnto of the City's Dovelopmcnt
Chergo by-law, and were issued epproximately M1 months atier tl�at dale.
Development Chazge By-law 5546/99 ca►ne inlo force on September I, 1999 nRer tLo public
cons�+ltatiun pcocess and noUco tequirements rcquired by lho Development Charges AM
1997 wcro fully complied with. Publto mxtinga woro hold on June 16 end ]uly 20, t999 as
part of ihia process. Thera were no app=als filai to By-law 5546/99.

Pagc 3
The ownec's leuor of complaint alleges Ihat he was misinformed by Tawn ataff with respat
to the impact of the new by-law on hts entiAement to credits. Discussions did tnke place
between City Planning staff, TRCA representatives and prospec:live purchesers respecting
the epplication of developmeat charges on surplus TRCA lends at ihia location in 1997.
Staf'f cocrecUy conveyed the provisions of the City's developmeat charge by-law in effect at
that time, which did not explicitly place any time horiwn on the applicslion of ccedits for
buildings having existed in the past on lnnds beiag developed. City Planr.ing staff spoke
with Mr. Pitino on August 6, 1999 at the Planning Deparlment countcr respecting t6e
epplicadon of park dedicadon fees epplicable to Mr. Pilino's development by severance on
the south side of Rodd Avenue. SWimulinely cefer specific development cherge inquiries
to the Building Clerks and Chief Building O�ciel for confumation.
Staff have concluded.that the developmenl charges were cortecUy applied, end should be
confirmcd. If the opinion of Couacil is that a roview of this muttcr jusfifies an amendment
to the developmeat chatge, such amendment should only be applied to one of the two
dwellings whtch are lhe subject uf this complaint, since evidence has becn provided of only
one previously existing dwelling.

� Development Charges Complaint� ,
Further to our tefephone conversation, I write ort behalf of Mr. Joseph PiOno to make
camp�alnls pursuant to s: 20(1) of the bevelopmenc Charges Act ("the Aa'� regarding
the impositlon of de'velopment cha�es in respett vf the two above-r�(erenceil
propertles. The reasons for the complaints are as.(ollows;
� 1. gefore the consent Was granted, the two subjecl properties w�re one s(ngle .
prope►ty. 'fhat properly was owned� by the Turonto Region Cbnservation
Authority ('TaCA"�. When the TRCA acquired th� property, it containpd a
. strigle detached dv�elling unit ("the house'), 7he 7f�CA demolished the fiouse
on or about Decembef 9�',198.1. Tfansrii(tted herewith is a copy of a Statulory
Decleratlon conf)rming thls Information, ' '

3. Iri the altemative, if the Town concludet that the consent has ��Cr�ased the

propenias. ' . •
4, The complalnant made speci(ic inquirias of Regional and 7own staff priorto tF��
adoptton o( lhe 7owA's new development churge by-law pursuant to the current
Acc. The complainant was udvised that the change•of leglslatlon and the
adoplion o(a new by-law would not adversely af(ect his rlght to obtain cred(ts
for tlie subject propertles. The complainant staies that, whelher rfegllgently or
inadvertently, he was inisled.in this regard, and Ihat it Is not fair for the ToWn �
. now'to deny hirti credits he would have been entitled to had he no4 been
,� misinformed. ,
5. Such (urther or other reasons as the complainant may provide at the heartng
before Council.
My tliant liareby requests that Council hold a hearing of the complainE�' �nd, es
.�equired by s. 20(4) of the �cc, af(ord him an opportunity to make r presentations at
the hearing. Pleasc note Utat I wlll not be represenpng Mr. PiUno at�he hearing, and
