UPDATED

The blog has  a image of what was planned, although I do not what changes have been made since this image was distributed.

A commenter's stated he had spoken to the  parks personal dismantling the diamond and was told it was to be a new play structure.

So I thought I would post the image

I know the Junction Residents Association held info sessions about this, which I was unable to attend and they may (probably) had more up to date plans. The  City of  Toronto has narrowly defined suppliers and type list for playground structures. This limited choice is probably and risk management  driven plan, rather than a disengagement of the the parks designers with what Toronto communities what.

An idea so great I cannot stop thinking about it bringing a farmers' market to Ward 13 of Toronto

 

 

 



 

 

so so happy this is happening and its a resident lead project.

a number of people have send in a request to post this and the blog thanks you all, I used Chris's text because it gave so much info...

 

from their site

About

The Ward 13 Farmers' Market Initiative is a group of local residents who are interested in bringing a Farmers' Market to Ward 13. With guidance from a community animator from LiveGreen Toronto, the group has been meeting regularly to develop and implement a strategy to have a market in the area as soon as possible. Committees include Market Models, Governance, Community Outreach, Location, Permits & Logistics. If you are interested on joining our efforts, please contact Whitney Crooks at 647-409-9448 or whitney@ecospark.ca or email us at ward13market@gmail.com.

 

An overview and survey info  from Chris a member of the initiative

 

An initiative that is working on bringing a farmers'
market to Ward 13 of Toronto. We believe that farmers’ markets work best
when they’re situated close to those who shop there. Local and fresh
produce, farmed in Ontario should be available to everyone without having
to make a lengthy journey outside of their own neighbourhood.

We’re currently in the planning stages of the initiative and need
community input into what kind of farmers’ market they would like to have
in their neighbourhood. I encourage you to fill out the survey below and
forward this email to your constituents. We’re trying to reach as many
people as possible and groups like yours are the perfect channel for
spreading the word locally.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all.

It's farmers market season again! Wouldn't you love to shop at a farmers
market in your own neighborhood? The Ward 13 Farmers Market Initiative is
working on bringing that vision to reality.

Please take a few minutes and share your thoughts with us by taking our
short survey. Please go to our website at www.ward13market.com or click on

Inside Toronto Junction Residents Association hosts Ward 13 all-candidates debate

Inside Toronto has a good article on the Junction Residents candidate meeting

LISA RAINFORD|Oct 07, 2010 - 5:45 PM| 0
Neighbourhood heritage preservation a key issue debated in Junction meeting

Junction Residents Association hosts Ward 13 all-candidates debate

Questions on preserving neighbourhood heritage, improving Toronto's large spaces and accessibility to the local councillor were put to Ward 13 councillor candidates by the Junction Residents Association members at a meeting Wednesday, Oct. 6.
Questions were given to candidates in advance and names were drawn to determine speaking order.

"I'm all for preservation," said first speaker, candidate Nick Pavlov, in the sanctuary of West Toronto Baptist Church on Dundas Street West at High Park Avenue.

While he said he supports saving the historical significance of the community, Pavlov said a balance between new construction and restoration must be found.

"Development has to be to scale," he said. "It has to reflect the size of the neighbourhood. We have to consider 'what is it adding to the neighbourhood.'"

Bill Saundercook said heritage of the Junction is extremely important. He pointed out that already several properties, namely churches, along Annette Street between Quebec Avenue and Keele Street, are protected. He said he has been in talks with the owner of the retail property on Dundas, just east of Pacific Avenue where the replica of the train platform is and has asked him to take into account the surrounding buildings that have been restored to their former glory when he chooses to start construction.

"When it comes to preservation," said Redmond Weissenberger, "the problem is we don't notice that a building is historic until it's about to be demolished. The problem is, the bylaws deal with structure. The building's owner doesn't have to bring anyone into the process of design."

Weissenberger said he would like to work with local architects in order to recognize which buildings need a heritage designation.

"You need to be proactive and not reactive and I think that's what I'd like to do," said Weissenberger.

Candidate Sarah Doucette said that as councillor, one must represent the majority of constituents.

"Historical preservation is important in certain areas. The Junction is one of them," she said. "I know that the Junction Residents Association is working to designate High Park Avenue."

Doucette said she followed the plight of 244 High Park Ave., whose owners wanted to sever the lot, tear down the house to make room for two new houses.

"I was really pleased to find out the new owner is going to restore it," she said.

Asked if they thought the city's large public spaces, such as the waterfront, should be improved, candidates were on the same page on this topic.

"Certainly, our waterfront is extremely important as we move towards the Pan/Am Games in 2015," said Saundercook.

He credited the new 'curtain' at Sunnyside Beach for improving the water quality and making it swimmable.

Weissenberger replied simply, yes.

"The only answer could be yes. We have to look at our existing public spaces," he said, attacking Saundercook for the "$100,000" gazebo in front of his constituency office. Saundercook later clarified and said the price tag was about $10,000.

Weissenberger wondered why the city doesn't clean up the goose droppings on the waterfront as well as the syringes he said he has seen floating in the water. He called Bloor West Village's sidewalks "an embarrassment," adding that citizens are "breaking their ankles."

Doucette said the city's public spaces are a necessity. They are key to keeping communities engaged, she said. She cited 34 Southport St. as an example, where a developer has been meeting with the community to discuss possible plans. "Five years ago, it was a thriving plaza. We had lots of amenities. Since it's been closed down, people miss going to coffee shops so they could meet their friends. We're now working to design a new space."

Reopening of St Johns Square – Thursday September 2 at 7pm

Repost from the JRA Newsletter



Reopening of St Johns Square – Thursday September 2 at 7pm

Your JRA invites you to attend a community event celebrating the completion of the City's latest Junction improvement and beautification project.

St Johns Square (corner Dundas St W and St Johns Road) has undergone major rework which included, relaying of the cobblestone, naturalization of the tree bases, additional seating and a new gazebo.

Come out to meet your neighbours and check out this great public space.

61, 63 and 67 community meeting with Councillor Saundercook

On Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 8pm, Councillor Saundercook is hosting a community meeting regarding the development proposal for 61, 63 and 67 Vine Avenue.  The meeting will take place in the second floor Window room of the Annette Community Centre, 333 Annette Street.

The developer plans to demolish the 3 existing buildings and replace them with 5 townhouses.

During the June 17, 2010 Etobicoke-York committee of adjustment meeting your JRA requested this meeting as part of the negotiations.  The consent to sever the existing lots and several variance requests were granted by the panel with the stipulation that the developer in conjunction with the local councillor consult with the community regarding the design of the townhouses.

The developer’s committee of adjustment application proposed a modern looking, flat roof structure.  The facade material included metal cladding with large glass windows incorporated with brick and concrete.  Your JRA felt this design did not respect or reinforce the existing physical character of the neighbourhood.

Please come out and join the discussion and help shape our great neighbourhood.

Martin L.  JRA Vice-Chair

200 Annette Street - Toronto Preservation Board On council agenda for Tuesday, August 17, 2010

200 Annette Street – Alteration to a Heritage Property and Intention to Designate, Part IV, Section 29, Ontario Heritage Act and Authority to Enter Into a Heritage Easement Agreement

Owner is seeking to have City Council approve the alterations to the property at 200 Annette Street, as designed by their Michael Hatch Designs Ltd.

from the city report...

Background

The property at 200 Annette Street (Attachment No. 2) contains the building formerly

known as the Annette Street Baptist Church. Constructed in 1888, the church was subject

to significant alterations in 1906 when the original west tower was replaced and the

building extended to the west. In 1920 a new entrance vestibule was added to the west

end of the structure.

Proposal

The proposed condominium development includes the rehabilitation of the church

building into eight residential units.

Alterations to the front (west) façade are minor and include:

new recessed entrance doors beneath existing windows at south side

new small window in centre panel of “blind belfry” in south west tower

replacement entrance doors

Alterations to the south (Annette Street) façade include:

new entrance doors within the masonry window opening of each bay by lowering the

sill to grade; retain the original window openings as transoms and original glazing

where possible

new skylights, matching the roof in colour, on two levels centrally located in each

bay of the south-facing roof; existing dormers to remain

new small window in centre panel of “blind belfry” in south west tower

Alterations to the east façade include:

new entrance door in existing window opening at south end by lowering window sill

construct 2nd and 3rd floor additions behind south east tower

Alterations to the north façade include:

new windows in wall, new dormer windows in roof, small decks and covered

parking, centred on existing bays and between existing buttresses

new skylights in north side of entrance vestibule roof

new window in entrance vestibule at basement level

grade level lowered to provide parking access at basement level

200 Annette Street – Alteration to a Heritage Property, Intention to Designate, Part IV, Section 29,

Ontario Heritage Act and Authority to Enter Into a HEA 5

Heritage Comments

The proposed alterations are acceptable in order to rehabilitate the church structure for

condominium use. The original structure is to be retained and conserved with alterations

to the north and east elevations. The addition of dormers and decks to the north elevation

is acceptable as it has limited physical and visual impact on the cultural heritage value of

the building. The front (west) and side (south) elevations will be conserved with minor

alterations.

The rehabilitation proposal is found to be in accordance with the Parks Canada Standards

and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places.

Reasons for Designation

Staff is requesting as a condition of approval that the property at 200 Annette Street be

designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The attached Heritage Property

Research and Evaluation Report (Attachment No. 4) outlines the historical, architectural

and contextual background of the property, and evaluates it according to the provincial

criteria prescribed for municipal designation (Ontario Regulation 9/06). The Etobicoke

York Community Preservation Panel provided historical information that assisted in the

research and evaluation of the site.

The Reasons for Designation (Statement of Significance) are found in Attachment No. 3.

The property at 200 Annette Street is worthy of designation for its cultural heritage value,

and meets the criteria for municipal designation prescribed by the Province of Ontario

under the three categories of design, associative and contextual value. Located on the

northeast corner of Annette Street and High Park Avenue, Annette Street Baptist Church

(1888, with additions in 1906 and 1920) has historical importance as an institution of

significance in the West Toronto Junction community, where it features a well-crafted

design influenced by Arts and Crafts styling and stands as a local landmark.

Background




Annette Street Baptist Church



Description

The property at 200 Annette Street is worthy of designation under Part IV, Section 29 of

the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value, and meets the criteria for

municipal designation prescribed by the Province of Ontario under the three categories of

design, associative and contextual value. Located on the northeast corner of Annette

Street and High Park Ave, Annette Street Baptist Church (constructed in 1888, with

subsequent additions) is a single-storey church building. The site was listed on the City

of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties in 1998.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value

Annette Street Baptist Church is an institution of historical importance to the West

Toronto Junction community. The area was developed in the 1880s after the Canadian

Pacific Railway opened its West Toronto freight yard, which attracted industry,

residential subdivisions, and institutions including churches. Following the incorporation

of the Village of West Toronto in 1884 (which became the Town of West Toronto

Junction, the Town of Toronto Junction and the City of West Toronto prior to its

annexation by the City of Toronto in 1909), Annette Street Baptist Church opened in

1889 and served the spiritual and social interests of the community for nearly a century.

While Annette Street Baptist Church incorporates elements of the popular architectural

styles of the late 1800s, particularly features from High Victorian Gothic Revival and

Romanesque Revival, its overall character recalls the Arts and Crafts influences of the

late 19th century. While local builder John Turner is credited with its construction, the

design of Annette Street Baptist Church resembles one developed for small-scale

churches by Toronto architect Edmund Burke and published in The Canadian Baptist

magazine in 1886. The exaggerated pitch and flared eaves of the roof were retained in

the design when the structure was extended to the west (1906), with the west entrance

(1920) displaying complementary Arts and Crafts detailing.

Contextually, as a church placed on a corner lot at a major intersection in the

neighbourhood, Annette Street Baptist Church is a landmark in the West Toronto

community. It is an integral part of the collection of churches that contributes to the

character of Annette Street as an institutional corridor where Annette Street Baptist

Church is historically, visually and physically linked to its surroundings.

200 Annette Street - hoarding goes up

[caption id="attachment_6903" align="aligncenter" width="473" caption="Wednesday the 23rd of June 2010 "][/caption]

It's happening the hoarding is going up and soon the simple elegance of the church will be gone and replaced by homes. While homes will lessen the street-scape - this developer is retaining enough that the church will still be visible to the mind.

200 Annette Street - details of development

• A 4.57m wide driveway is proposed, 6.0m is required bylaw.


• Parking Spot width of 2.74m is requested, 3.2 is required


• The dormer height on the north side is 10.42m, 10.0m is the maximum allowable height even though the roof of the church is much higher than 10.0m


• The proposed residential gross floor area (GFA) is 583m² which exceeds the allowable amount by over 350m².  The actual church is not getting significantly bigger with the condo conversion but GFA for residential is different than it is for churches.

Other notes:

• To accommodate the driveway and parking area the site plan calls for the removal of 2 mature trees including one large tree on High Park Ave and one at the back of the site.


• New entrance door on the west facade.


• Five new entrance doors on the south facade


• 10 new skylights on the south roof.


• The site plans notes “relocate bus shelter”.  I think this is to improve the unit 1 patio view but I wonder what the TTC is going to say about that.

I hope a few facts and drawings help clear up some questions about this project.

Starbucks to come to 3077 Dundas Street West? The old Handyman Shop, Junction Residents Association.

A commenter on the blog has recently commented that the new building on the South East corner directly across from Crema may be housing a Starbucks store.

While the blog has been unable to confirm this, this author wonders what the general feeling towards this possibility would be in the community?
