Public Meeting and Recommendation Report - ClubLink Corporation ULC and ClubLink Holdings Limited, Proposed Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision, File No's OPA 1519.09, Z.1519.09 and 24T-17003/1519 - 1333 Dorval Drive

 

 

-           Report from Planning Services Department,
            September 12, 2017

 

 

For the purposes of Planning Act requirements, the following person(s) made an oral submission:

 

-     Ron Tingle, re: concerns with the present lack of public access and restricted availability of the Glen Abbey golf course to the general public. Supportive of the increase of access of these lands with the re-development of Glen Abbey which would provide a permanent enhancement to the town’s golf heritage for the public to access. Concerns with the high traffic and commotion that the Canadian Open brings. Supportive of the development as it illustrates an example of urban renewal in cooperation with a developer and encourages the town and the developer to work together with an alternative such as utilizing the lower flood plain along 16 Mile Creek as a town owned and operated public municipal golf course, designed to appeal to starter golf families and seniors with 80 acres available and being sufficient to allow golf and parkland use to coexist comfortably alongside development; and filed a written submission.

 

-     Dan Carruthers, re: supporting the staff recommendation, concerns with the development application proposal which would add approximately 6000 people and residences into the proposed area which does not meet the basic guidelines of the Livable Oakville plans, which itself was developed with lots of public consultation and is a good comprehensive plan, and filed a written submission.

 

-     Karl Tuira, re: supporting the staff recommendation, concerns with the addition of the thousands of people which would be located in the area should the application be approved, as well as the increased traffic and cars coming in and out of the area. Also noted that the Glen Abbey golf course played a key role in the sale of his home and other surrounding homes and is concerned about the value of these homes should this development proceed.

 

-     Mark Conzelman, representing his residence and other residences on Fairway Hills and as a member of the Save Glen Abbey group re: supporting the staff recommendation, concerned with the high density of the proposal and noted that the proposal is not in keeping with the Livable Oakville plan. Also added that the Glen Abbey golf course was marketed and played a key role in the purchased of his home in Fairway Hills.

 

-     Peter Longo, re: supporting the staff recommendation and protecting the natural heritage system of Oakville that is the envy of many municipalities in Ontario; and filed a written submission.

 

-     Paul Ryce, President, Fairway Hills Community Association, re: supporting the staff recommendation and noting that the Fairway Hills community was built and designed around the Glen Abbey golf course. The concerns are with the scale and intensity of the development proposal, including building height, noting that it is not appropriate for the proposed location and is not in keeping with the area, the Town, or with good land use planning.  

 

-     Wendy Bodnoff, re: supporting the staff recommendation as Glen Abbey is the heart of Oakville and once developed it cannot be reversed.

 

-     Carol Deeth, re: supporting the staff recommendation and concerned that the development application, if approved, will account for a quarter of the population growth planned up to 2031 in this one location.

-           Report from Planning Services Department,
            September 12, 2017

 

 

Delegations: Continued

 

For the purposes of Planning Act requirements, the following person(s) made an oral submission:

 

-     Al Wilmot, re: supporting the staff recommendation and stated that should this matter move to the Ontario Municipal Board, he would like the opportunity to participate. Mr. Wilmot also noted that increasing air traffic noise will impact the proposed development of the Glen Abbey significantly should houses be located in that area, and filed a written submission.

 

-     Jonathan Colligan, re: supporting the staff recommendation and noted three key areas of concern: municipal financial impacts, impacts on transportation, and greenspace. With respect to municipal financial impacts, Mr. Colligan noted that the assessed values of homes surrounding the Glen Abbey golf course would decrease, costs to town would increase as additional staffing would be required, and overall implications to the tax base would be affected as well. Concerns with increased traffic, greater congestion, lower driver comfort, unstable flow of traffic, floodplain and a failing grade of road service for vehicles with the expansion of Upper Middle Road to six lanes as proposed by the developer, and filed a written submission.

 

-     Mark Steiman, re: supporting the staff recommendation and stated that the proposed application conflicts with the Livable Oakville plan and Halton Region’s Official Plan, and that the Glen Abbey property is home to heritage buildings with natural heritage features and a historic watershed, and the development will create traffic congestion in the area, and filed a written submission.

 

-     Terence Young, re: supporting the staff recommendation noting that once Glen Abbey is developed it is gone forever. The area has a cultural heritage and it is part of the character of Oakville which the residents have contributed to and built over decades, and filed a written submission.


 

-     Steven Gibbins, re: supporting the staff recommendation, concerns respecting the development proposal including; the lands within the subject proposal are not in the appropriate location deemed for growth as an area and would also affect the planned transportation nodes for other areas, as well the application does not conform to the Livable Oakville plan, the Region of Halton’s plans, or cultural heritage, and filed a written submission.

 

-     Chris Kowalchuk, re: supporting the staff recommendation noting that the application is contrary to the Livable Oakville plan.

 

-     Victoria Thompson, re: supporting the staff recommendation has concerns with traffic congestion and floodplains.

 

-     Tony Lorini, President – Greater Woodbridge Ratepayers Association, re: supporting the staff recommendation and noted his concern with the disappearance of green space and the impacts on the environment due to development.
