Public Meeting Notice and Related Council Extract - Development and Infrastructure Services Report - Planning and Building Services 2014-32 dated July 21, 2014 regarding Application for Zoning By-law Amendment - Green and Rose Developments Inc., 212 Davis Drive.

Public Comments received regarding Application for Zoning By-law Amendment - Green and Rose Developments Inc. - 212 Davis Drive.

 

 

Mr. Brad Rogers, Groundswell Urban Planners and Mr. Daniel Berholz of Green and Rose Developments Inc. provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment Application for 212 Davis Drive.

 

 

Mayor Van Bynen invited members of the public to come forward. 

 

 

 

 

a)

Mr. Wayne Pilkey, 107 Forest Glen Road commented that the building footprint appears small and questioned whether there were opportunities to increase the building footprint, decrease the overall height and provide for underground parking.

 

b)

Ms. Evelyn Stocks, 270 Davis Drive expressed concern regarding the height of the building and commented that the proposed building should not be greater in height than other rental buildings along the Davis Drive corridor.  She also questioned the height of the parking garage, concerns regarding excessive noise and the possibility of having the view from her building blocked.

 

c)

Mr. Ian Hutchinson, 235 Queen Street expressed concerns regarding building and parking garage height and traffic ingress and egress, including traffic spillover onto adjacent side streets, and where children who live in the building would attend school.

 

d)

Mr. Glen Letman, 71 Forest Glen Road expressed concerns regarding road connections, including the proposed minor collector road adjacent to the property, grading and setback concerns that may increase the platform of the building and the interface between existing residential and the proposed building. 

 

e)

Mr. Heinz Dickfeld, 250 Davis Drive advised that he has observed the traffic pattern onto Davis Drive from the proposed shared access driveway with the Church and concluded that people along the sidewalk are often inconvenienced by cars blocking the driveway, particularly on Sunday after the Church service concludes.  Future residents in the proposed building will be poorly served as there will be no permitted left hand turns across the Viva lanes.  Mr. Dickfeld suggested that the proposal be delayed until the site can be provided access through the intersection of Parkside Drive and Longford Drive.  

 

f)

Mr. Rogers and Mr. Berholz responded to concerns raised by the public and advised that building heights are consistent with the permitted heights with bonusing contained within the Secondary Plan.  A noise study and traffic study have been completed and circulated to Town staff.  The School Board was circulated with the application and no concerns have been brought forward to date.  The applicant is working with staff regarding the elevation of the parking structure and other site plan details.  Underground parking was deemed to be unaffordable and therefore was not pursued. 

 

g)

Mr. Kim Nystron, Cole Engineering addressed the Committee regarding the Traffic Impact Study and Parking Review.  The traffic study looked at peak morning and afternoon hours and concluded that approximately 70 – 75 vehicles will move through the site during a one hour peak period.  The building traffic is not expected to conflict with Church traffic on Sunday after Church service.

The Committee considered and discussed various aspects of the application including parking structure height, impacts on adjacent single family dwellings on Queen Street to the south, shadow studies/impacts, setbacks between parking structure and proposed road allowance, rental cost estimates, ingress and egress points, number of subsidized units and wait list statistics.
