The Secretary-Treasurer outlined comments received from the City of Pickering
Planning & Development Department recommending approval subject to
conditions and to revise side yard widths to 1.8 metres. Written comments were
also received from Brain Muri•ay of 1899 Woodview Avenue in objection to the
application.
Correspondence received from Brian Murray.expressed several concerns with the
application; requesting clarification on the placement of the proposed finro-storey
dwelling and to ensure that it does not extend beyond the property line of the
garage of the existing dwelling at 1899 Woodview Avenue as this will block
daylight and detract from the appearance. Brian Murray is also requesting that the
cedar fence as well as the heciging along the property line be left and not removed.
Craig Marshall, owner, was present to represent the application. Paul &
Charlene Trauzzi of 1883 Woodview Avenue were present in objection to the
application. James Trauzzi of 30 Windebanks Drive was present to obtain
additional information on the application.
Craig Marshall indicated he supports the staff recommendation to revise the side
yard widths to 1.8 metres. In response to questions, Craig Marshal noted that he
will be demolishing the existing dwelling, move the dwelling toward the rear of
the property and will save as many trees as possible. Craig Marshall clarified
that the purpose of the application was to establish a building envelope and that
he would be placing the new dwelling within the building envelope and that it may
not be exactly as shown on his submitted plan.
Paul Trauzzi indicated he lives directly south of the subject property and
expressed several concerns uvith the application; decrease in property value, loss
of trees in the front yard, driveway location, 1.2 metre side yard widths are too
close to the property lines, questioned why the dwelling is being built so close to
the road and the possible removal and/or damage to the cedar hedges during
construction.
