Report from Planning Services Department,
March 27, 2017
|
|
The following person(s) made an
oral submission:
- David
Harris, re: concerns with respect to the minimal changes made to the
application, i.e., reducing the height of the roof line to 12 metres which does
nothing to change the height of the fourth storey windows, moving the footprint
slightly to the south and west which still leaves little room for a tree
barrier to the north and none at the east end of the property, relocating the
‘Juliette’ balconies from the north to the south side of the structure; and suggesting
that the fourth storey of the building be deleted to mitigate privacy concerns
and that the footprint be reduced to permit a barrier of trees on all sides of
the structure.
- Bill Burns, re: concerns with respect to the proposed
amendments to the official plan and zoning by-laws to permit medium density
development; and suggesting that amending the zoning may set a precedent for
further similar developments in the area.
- Rick Varteressian, re: concerns with respect to the perceived
‘gentrification’ of the neighbourhood, privacy issues, garbage accumulating and
being left on the existing properties; and suggesting that the site be
developed without amendments to the official plan and zoning by‑laws.
- Ronald Pearson, re: concerns with respect to changing the zoning
to accommodate the development, lack of privacy, restricted sunlight; and urging
the applicant to develop a plan that complements the neighbouring Barlcay
Square residences in height and appearance.
- Mildred Lowes, re: concerns with respect to the height and
size of the structure, drainage issues, increased traffic, lack of sunlight
affecting trees and vegetation, loss of privacy, dealing with construction
during the summer months; and requesting that the town consider purchasing the
site and designating it as green space.
- Ted Gale, re: concerns with respect to rain causing possible
drainage problems as he lives closest to the proposed development, traffic and
parking issues.
- Kirk Godfrey, re: concerns with respect to water retention and
drainage issues due to the quality of the land on the site.
- David Faye, David Faye & Associates Inc., on behalf of the
applicant, expressing support for the staff recommendation, reviewing the
changes that were made to the application since it was originally submitted in
response to comments and concerns from the area residents, staff and the Ward
Councillors, requesting that the Councillors take into consideration the
planning criteria put forward in the staff report; and responding to questions
from the members.
