CARRIED
For the purposes of Planning Act requirements,
the following person(s) made an oral submission:
- Edward
(Ted) Walker, re: concerns with respect to the safety of seniors in the area
as any construction on the subject site would necessitate closure of the sidewalks
to pedestrians on Lakeshore Road and East Street for some time, and expressing
support for the denial of the application.
- Catherine Ann Marshall, Independent Real Estate Consultant, re:
concerns with respect to the proposed development not being in keeping with the
‘village’ culture of Bronte, the scale of the building on this strategic site
impacting the Lakeshore vista, traffic congestion issues on Lakeshore Road and
East Street, as well as increased traffic on Belyea Street, increased density
in the area, and expressing support for the denial of the application.
- Gladys Pluis, re: concerns with respect to 10 foot
ceilings (versus 8 foot ceiling) in condos increasing the number of storeys of the
building, increased traffic congestions due to delivery trucks, maintenance and
servicing trucks, commercial and visitor traffic, safety of seniors walking in
the area, suggesting that the developer lower the ceiling height, enlarge the
size of the units thereby reducing the number of units in the building, allow
one floor of commercial space instead of two, reduce the levels of underground
parking and number of storeys, and expressing support for the denial of the
application.
- Shelley
Thornborrow, Vice President, Bronte Village Residents Association (BVRA), re:
concerns with respect to over intensification of the site, high traffic volume,
lack of setback, safety and wellbeing of seniors in the area, shadowing effect
on adjacent properties, noting that BVRA supports development with design,
built form, setback and height that does not impair public safety but rather compliments
the culture and charm of Bronte Village, expressing support for denial of the
application, encouraging the applicant to work with the town and community
toward consensus for responsible and befitting development, and suggesting that
a designation of ‘Main Street 1’ would be appropriate.
- Carol
Todd-Skuce, re: concerns with respect to the possibility of allowing an 8‑storey
building on the site, suggesting instead a maximum height of 4‑storeys, and
expressing support for the denial of the application.
- Allan
Young, President, A. Young Planner Limited, on behalf of the applicant,
speaking in favour of the proposed development indicating that it satisfies
many objectives with respect to the revitalization of Bronte as it would
achieve intensification, create sidewalk-oriented shopping and commercial
facilities, and that, in his opinion, this gateway site was suitable for more
intensification and greater building height than the Official Plan permits, and
requesting more time to respond to comments.
