Grant Morris, consultant on behalf of the applicant appeared before the
Committee in support of the application. He provided clarification with respect to
the reasons for seeking approval through land severance to allow for the creation
of nine lots. He noted that services are already located on these lots and
explained the types of homes to be built on the site.
Tony Accardi, 1857 Woodview Avenue appeared before the Committee in
opposition to the application. He felt there was no need to change the existing
zoning by-law, stating there is ample space to build comparable homes on the
street without the need for a 1.2 metre setback. He noted he enjoys the five foot
setbacks and when he purchased his home he liked the character of the street.
He noted that side yard widths of 1.2 metres would not blend in with the
neighbourhood. He stated he had compiled a petition with 14 names from the
immediate area and had submitted this to the Planner. He asked the Committee
to stay within the existing by-law and reject the application.
Carolyne Pascoe, 1862 Woodview Avenue, appeared before the Committee and
noted that there were a lot of mature trees on the property and stated that she
enjoys the large trees and did not want to see them gone. She asked that the
character of the street be retained and to keep as many trees as possible.
,Gaetano Accardi, 1855 Woodview Avenue appeared before the Committee in
opposition to the 1.2 metre setback being requested. He stated that 4,000 to
6,000 square foot homes could easily be built with the current 1.5 metre
setbacks.
Ernest Jugovic, 1858 Woodview Avenue appeared before the Committee and
noted that he did not oppose the new homes but did not support a 1.2 metre
setback. He stated that he would prefer to see the width kept at 1.5 metres and
also noted that he would like to see the trees kept.
Grant Morris appeared before the Committee to address the resident's concerns
and noted the difference in setbacks being requested only amounts to a matter
of inches.

and outlined the application. He stated the proposed development fits in with the
character of the neighbourhood. He noted that they have had. extensive co-
ordination with the Planning Department and stated he would be available to
answer any questions.
A question and answer period ensued. The applicant was questioned with
respect to noise attenuation, parking space allotment, types of retail uses and
tree preservation.
Enzo Girardi, 1021 Dalewood Drive, appeared before the Committee and noted
his concerns with respect to the commercial uses, the number of parking spaces,
the fencing at the rear of the property, noise attenutation, lighting and traffic
concerns. Mr. Girardi requested clarification on the definitions of the different
commercial uses on the property and questioned how many of the units would
be two storeys. He requested that the Committee reconsider the number of
parking spaces and suggested a working group be established between the
developer and the area residents to discuss the development.
Tony Salvatore, 1006 Dalewood Drive, appeared before the Committee and
noted his concerns with the trees along the rear of the property. He stated that
some of those trees should be looked at and felt that in the event of a storm
there could be a potentially dangerous situation.
Gareth Morgan, 1002 Dalewood Drive, appeared before the Committee and
noted his concerns with the mature trees being taken down. He also indicated
concerns with the three storey height of the building and felt this would result in a
lack of privacy in his backyard. He also felt that the development could affect
property values. Additional concerns noted were in regards to noise, lighting and
parking issues. He stated that he felt the development would change the quiet
character of the neighbourhood. He also noted two malls already exist in the
area, and questioned why additional retail uses were being considered.
A question and answer period ensued.
The applicant appeared before Committee to provide clarification with respect to
the residents' concerns.
Councillor O'Connell requested the applicant look at the site with respect to the
issue of the dangerous trees to ensure safety.

Dear Minister Duguid:
At the May 2, 2011 regular meeting of the Council of the Town of Thessalon, the following resolution was passed:
"Whereas in an effort to maintain the peace, quiet, dignity and desirable appearance of the
municipality, the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Thessalon passed By-law
Number 1774 on March 7, 2011 to amend Schedule A of By-law Number. 1592, being
a by-law to establish standards for the maintenance and occupancy of property in the
Town of Thessalon, to include the following section:.
Every person shall keep every front yard free and clear of any equipment or material
relating to Renewable Energy Projects including, but not limited to, Ground and/or Pole
Mounted Solar Photovoltaic(PV)Systems, Wind Facilities or any other like equipment.
And whereas Council has received confirmation of an individual=s intention to install
large ground mounted solar systems on a vacant lot in a residential area in the
municipality;
And whereas the Town of Thessalon has been advised by the Ministry of Municipal
Affairs. and Housing that the Green Energy and Green Economy Act, 2009 made
amendments to the Planning Act, most notably the addition of a new section 62.0.2
which exempts renewable energy projects from most land use planning instruments
under the Planning Act, including municipal official plans and zoning, site plan control,
interim control and holding by-laws, thus eliminating the need for a property owner
proposing a renewable energy project to seek an official plan amendment or a change to
a zoning by-law, among other matters;
And whereas Council recognizes the importance of the Green Energy and Green
Economy Act, 2009, Council is sensitive regarding the impact such installations will
have on adjacent property owners who will be in extremely close proximity to such
proposed solar systems;
39
Now therefore be it resolved that the Council of the Corporation of the
Town of Thessalon hereby petitions the Government of Ontario
through the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure to reconsider the
provisions of the Green Energy. and Green Economy Act, 2009 and to
address the provisions having regard for the negative impact. created by
the installation of ground mounted solar systems within residential and
commercial areas in municipalities;
And further that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Federation of Northern
Ontario Municipalities and to all municipalities in the Province of
Ontario for endorsement." CARRIED
Your attention regarding this matter will be appreciated.
Yours truly,

Dear Premier:
Re: Limiting manufacturing and packaging to products that can be recycled.
wish to advise that the Council of the Township of South Frontenac at their
meeting on June 7th passed the following resolution:
"Whereas the Province has the authority to introduce measures to control the
sale of products in Ontario, and whereas the Province has set waste diversion
rates for municipalities, therefore the Township of South Frontenac requests that
the Province introduce legislation that limits the sale of goods sold in Ontario to
those which are completely recyclable or compostable and packaged in materials
that are completely recyclable or compostable.
Furthermore that this resolution be circulated to other municipalities for their
support. Carried."
The Township of South Frontenac and the Province have set aggressive
diversion rates from landfill. Success will only be achieved by reducing the
amount of product and packaging that is produced that is not completely
recycla&e

Correspondence received from Trevor Sone, Property Manager of DCC #93,
5 President's Committee, indicated that part of the 5 President's Committee met
with the developers prior to the Committee of Adjustment meeting to obtain
additional information. The 5 President's Committee has determined that they
have no objection to the application subject to the following suggested conditions:
1) that the owner does not seek and act upon an easement for traffic onto Valley
Farm Road or Avonmore Square and 2) that the owner shall insure appropriate
above ground parking for the proposed retail stores and visitor parking.
Jason Park, agent, was present to represent the application. Chuck Kent,
Suzanne Adams and Frank Gillanders of 1890 Valley Farm Road and Lionel
Berry of 1647 Avonmore Square were present in objection to the application.
Jason Park provided a package for the Committee to review. Jason Park
explained the layout of the property; building heights; above and underground
parking; traffic flow through the development and the "Multiple Dwelling -
Vertical" definition.
In response to questions from residents and Committee Members, Jason Park
noted the new owners are not pursuing the old Committee of Adjustment
application P/CA 02/09 which will become null and void if this application is
approved. The parking for the retail stores will be provided on the surface and
underground and the retail uses that are permitted on the subject site are very
limited. A traffic study has not been required, however, if during the Site Plan
process a study is required they have no problem providing a study. Jason Park
also indicated that only the eastern portion of the property is being developed at
this time, and there will be no proposed access from Lennox Lane to Avonmore
Square.
Chuck Kent, President of the DCC#93, outlined the comments that were
received from Trevor Sone, Property Manager of DCC #93. Chuck Kent
expressed concerns with density, the traffic coming into and exiting the
development access for this development onto Valley Farm Road and parking for
the retail uses proposed.
Suzanne Adams expressed concerns with the density and the traffic coming into
and exiting the development. Suzanne Adams also questioned if the mechanical
units on top of the building is included in the 35.0 metres.
Frank Gillanders questioned if a traffic survey has been conducted for the
subject property and commented that traffic in the summer months is very heavy
at that intersection of Valley Farm Road and Kingston Road.

Square and Valley Farm Road.

crime unit. The timing is good as it would allow him to
incorporate this into the work plan for the next semester.
These students are experienced and mature which is a great
advantage for this type of project.
Discussion followed on the scope and types of questions to
be included in the survey. The committee agreed that the
survey should focus on a few aspects of diversity, such as
race and class/background. The project can then be
extended to other scope areas over the next 3 years.
Neil indicated that the survey should also include
comparables with other communities identifying service gaps
within cities and the targeted age group.
It was noted that diversity also includes white Caucasian
people and they should be included in the survey, as they are
often overlooked.
The committee discussed the area covered by the survey
and it was agreed that the target area to reach certain
demographics would have to be determined.
Neil offered assistance to consult with researchers and
develop questions for the survey which would fit within the
scope selected.
Additional discussions ensued on the data to be used to
formulate questions based on the type of crime, i.e. hate
crime due to race, religion, etc.
It was further noted that other major factors to consider are
the attitude and behavior towards others as a result of
economic conditions creating lower employment.
Neil to forward draft questions and work plan to Marisa for
distribution to the committee members for their review and
comments.
C. Reidt suggested holding another meeting to finalize the
survey questions. Committee members are encouraged to
review the draft survey questions.
K. Mark agreed that a working group should be established to
finalize the survey before the next meeting in September.
Committee members will be notified of upcoming meetings
