Although this application was appealed to LPAT, parties were able to to settle before the hearing proper.  A passage from the 33-page REPORT which delivered the decision states:

The report outlines the conditions and timing of Section37 contributions amounting to a total of $1,000,000.  The third contribution has been earmarked as follows:

Indeed, the report was submitted at the November 5th meeting of TEYCC.  But given input from the community (57 written comments from local residents and parents, students and teachers from the Brant Street School), the item was deferred. 
Updated plans were posted online (see Supporting Documentation in sidebar).  The item appeared once again at the TEYCC on December 3rd where it was adopted. 

As summarized below, a communication was added on December the 16th to the 57 others submitted earlier:
(December 16, 2019) Petition from JL McLeish, The ALPHA Parent Group, containing the names of approximately 816 persons. (CC.New.TE2.58) 
At City Council on December 17th the item was introduced and adopted with amendments, significantly:

5.c Prior to the issuance of the first above-grade building permit, the owner shall make a cash contribution in the amount of $600,000.00 for the revitalization of the playground of the Toronto District School Board property at 20 Brant Street, subject to public access outside of regular school hours, and/or public realm improvements in the area, and/or community services and facilities, all to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the Ward Councillor.

5.f.vii. The owner agrees to submit, and thereafter implement, a construction management plan to address such matters as, including but not limited to, noise, dust, street closures, parking and laneway uses and access. Such plan shall be to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Transportation Services, the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, and the Ward Councillor, in consultation with the ALPHA School Community, the Garment District Neighbourhood Association, the Toronto Lands Corporation and any other community stakeholders, and shall be submitted prior to the commencement of any demolition, shoring or excavation work; and

Item TE10.6 provides Planning's Final Report related to the Zoning By-law Amendment Application  by Great Gulf and Allied for 540-544 King Street West and 1-7 Morrison Street.  Access the item HERE.  From this page you can opt to Submit Comments to or Request to Speak at the meeting on November 5th. 

The report itself can be accessed HERE ... but the bottom line is ... City Planning is recommending approval.
​

Throughout the application cycle related to this proposal, the parents (and students) of the Alpha Alternative School at 20 Brant have been very involved, attending public meetings and also private meetings with City Planning and the developers.  As of this minute (November 1 at 5 pm) there are 43 written communications associated with TE10.6, mostly I suspect from this quarter.  But this is priceless ... a video they intend to show as part of their oral delivery at the meeting on November 5th.

Over the past year, Allied and Great Gulf have listened to comments and suggestions from residents, businesses and school parents/students/teachers affected by this large proposal.  Now with amended plans, the application is scheduled to be heard at the November 5th session of the Toronto and East York Community Council.  Details for the meeting are HERE

We did a walkabout both inside and outside the school with discussions about light and greenery. But the highlight of the meeting was a presentation by the children who had built models of what was being proposed and then various models of what they thought would be preferable solutions … complete with a high powered lamp which could be raised up and down on a pole (thereby changing the light’s angle) to represent different seasons and time of day and thus to demonstrate the effect of shadow on each of their options. 
 
One of the parents involved was also a contributor to NOW magazine … and this is her description of that same June 15th meeting. ​

At the Community Consultation Meeting on April 30th, it was no surprise that the issue of height was raised, especially by local residents who are suffering from a case of deja vu.  In 2009 a proposal for this site appealed to the OMB and won ... read the decision document here.  Those plans were subsequently scrapped and this new application has been submitted to the City for approval.  The original proposal in question saw an 8-storey (33.6 m) structure on the 544 King site and a 9-storey (36.8 m) structure on the 1-7 Morrison site.  The new application now incorporates properties 540 and 544 King as well as 1, 7, and 9 Morrison and rises to 12 storeys (48.65 m).

Another contingent of local residents were vocal about the chaos that would result from all the activity planned for Morrison Street, even now a traffic nightmare.  Citing the added burden of service and passenger vehicles accessing this large site, the GPS-driven activity from e-commerce and ride-hail services to a residential address off Morrison, and the intersection of Morrison with Adelaide at a bike lane, those familiar with the area predict that existing plans will result in disaster.

Definitely one to keep our eyes on.

No application yet for this site on the north-west corner of King and Brant.
