(Hayes Line Properties Inc.) Part of Lot 28, Range 3, B.F.c. (778- 790 Kingston Road, east of Whites Road) City of Pickering RECOMMENDATION: 1. That Council ADOPT a site specific amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines as the City's strategy for detailed land use, urban design, transportation and infrastructure for the Wood, Carroll properties (Hayes Line Properties Inc.) within the Northeast Quadrant, as set out in Appendix I to Report Number PD 08-02; 2. That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00, submitted by Wood, Carroll et al. (Hayes Line Properties Inc.) on lands being Part of Lot 28, Range 3, B.F.C. in the City of Pickering, to permit residential and retail/commercial and restaurant uses, as revised by the applicant to only permit the development of retail/commercial and restaurant uses, be ENDORSED IN PRINCIPLE, AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF, as set out in the staff recommended implementing by-law attached as Appendix II to Report Number PD 08-02; 3. That Council re-affirm the requirement for the applicants to pay their proportionate share of the study costs of the Northeast Quadrant Review prior to the zoning coming into force; 4. That Council require the applicant to construct and convey to the City a public lane across the north part of the property; 5. That Council require the applicant to contribute to the costs of downstream stormwater management efforts and construct on-site stormwater controls if construction on the subject lands precedes downstream stormwater management works; and 6. That Staff be authorized to present Council's ENDORSEMENT IN PRINCIPLE to the Ontario Municipal Board as Council's position on Zoning Amendment Application A 22/00 at an Ontario Municipal Board Hearing, and further authorize staff to make adjustments to the staff recommended implementing by-law as technical issues are finalized. - ORIGIN : Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 was submitted to the City by Wood, Carroll et al. (Hayes Line Properties Inc.) on June 1, 2000 to permit residential, retail/commercial and restaurant uses on the subject lands. Hayes Line Properties Inc. appealed Pickering Council's refusal or neglect to make a decision to amend the zoning by-law within 90 days of receipt of the application to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) in April 2001. The OMB originally scheduled the Hearing on this matter to commence on October 16, 2001, and later adjourned it until February 14, 2002 following Council's direction that the Solicitor for the City request such adjournment. REPORT NUMBER PD 08-02 Date: January 21,2002 003 Subject: Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Page 2 Hayes Line Properties Inc. has recently submitted to the OMB a revised proposed amendI?ent to the zoning by-law that would implement a revised preliminary site plan to penl11t only retail/commercial and restaurant uses on the entire site (residential use of the property has been deleted). - AUTHORITY: The Planning Act, RS.O. 1990, chapter P.13 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of Council adopting a position on the revised proposed development for submission to the Ontario Municipal Board. There will be costs associated with maintenance of the public lane recommended by staff, but these costs are similar to the road maintenance costs already endorsed by Council in the currently approved Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff recommends that Council adopt a site specific amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines to endorse development/design principles for the Wood, Carroll lands. Staff support the site (see Attachment #1 - Location Map) being entirely developed for retail/commercial/office uses (ie: no residential uses) provided 33% of the gross floor area is provided in second storey floorspace and a 10 metre wide public lane is constructed in an east-west direction across the north end of the site. - The applicant's original submission (see Attachment #2 - Applicant's Original Concept) is substantially not in compliance with the currently approved Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines. The applicant's response (see Attachment #3 - Applicant's Revised Concept) to staff recommended revisions to the Development Guidelines, despite significant concessions by staff in many respects, continues to fall well below existing and recommended provisions desirable for appropriate development for Pickering's Kingston Road 'mainstreet'. Staff does recommend however, that Council support commercial/retail/office uses across the entire property (ie: no residential uses) provided a minimum of 33% of the gross floor area is located in second storey space and a public lane is provided at the rear of the property. The original vision contained in the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines for the subject lands (see Attachment #4a - Northeast Quadrant Site Plan) included medium density residential use of the internal portion of the lands, centred around an internal ring road with an interior linear park and commercial/retail uses on the Kingston Road frontage. The commercial uses were to be of a moderate to high intensity with required floor space indices of 0.5 FSI plus residential uses at a density of 50 residential dwelling units per hectare, located in buildings of 22 to 30 metres (5 to 7 storeys). - A number of applications were received for lands within the Northeast Quadrant that did not meet the requirements of the Guidelines. Council subsequently authorized a review of the Guidelines in the spring of 2001 and budgeted funds for this purpose, requiring developers to contribute a minimum of 50% of the cost of the study. The review was to include environmental, transportation and land use/urban design components. Although the review of the Northeast Quadrant Guidelines is not yet complete, the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing for the Hayes Line Properties Inc. is scheduled to start on February 14, 2002. However, since staff have reached primary conclusions on the major principles of the review, it is appropriate to reach decisions at this time for the Wood, Carroll property without prejudicing the results of the remainder of the review of the Northeast Quadrant. 004 REPORT NUMBER PD 08-02 Date: January 21,2002 Subject: Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Page 3 The primary conclusions reached, to date, as they affect the Wood, Carroll properties, are that: - . Residential uses are not required on the north end of the property; . A public lane, of 10 metres in width, is required at the north end of the property; . Retail/commercial/office uses are appropriate on the south part of the site provided they contribute to main street characteristics of higher intensity and mixing of uses, by an increased intensity (ie: with 33% of the gross floor area provided in second storey floorspace); and, . Detached dwellings to the north should be well buffered from commercial buildings to be constructed on this property. Commercial buildings should be separated from the residential yards by privacy fences, landscaped open space with preserved existing vegetation and parking areas. A concept for the development of the site that demonstrates the above-noted principles, prepared by staff, is attached (see Attachment #4b). In accordance with the amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines, staff recommends that Council Endorse In Principle the Revised Zoning Amendment Application A 22/00 submitted by Hayes Line Properties Inc. as Recommended By Staff, as set out in the attached implementing by-law and authorize staff to present this position at the scheduled Ontario Municipal Board Hearing on this matter as Council's position, subject to adjustments by staff as technical issues are finalized. BACKGROUND: - 1.0 Information Meetin1! A Public Information Meeting for the applicant's original submission was held on August 10, 2000 to obtain the views of the public. Information Report No. 23-00, which summarizes the applicant's proposal and outlines the issues and comments identified through circulation of the application, was prepared for the Public Information Meeting. The text ofthe Information Report is provided for reference (see Attachment #5). At the Public Information Meeting, Planning & Development staff gave an explanation of the application and the applicant addressed the merits of the proposal. In addition, other people expressed concerns respecting preservation of trees, a need for buffering, the ring road and restaurant uses at the meeting. The discussion that occurred is recorded in the Meeting Minutes (see Attachment #6). 2.0 Additional Information 2.1 Comments Received from Area Residents and Property Owners - Since the preparation of the Information Report, J., C. and R. McConachie, the owners of the abutting property to the west commented that: . the driveway entrance to Kingston Road should be moved to the west property line to establish a joint entrance to the two properties; . access to the north part of the subject lands, and adjacent properties, should be provided not by a ring road, which takes up too much space and serves no purpose, but by a road connecting the north end of Delta Boulevard to the Dunbarton school site (see Attachment #7); Mike Dubroy, the resident of a dwelling whose rear yard abuts the subject lands, commented that: . commercial use is preferable to townhomes, provided an adequate buffer zone and preservation of vegetation is provided (see Attachment #8); REPORT NUMBER PD 08-02 Date: January 21,2002 005 Subject: Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Page 4 - Normand and Rita Dufresne, residents of another abutting dwelling commented that: . approval of developments that will add more residents to this block is not appropriate until existing traffic problems are properly addressed (see Attachment #9). Further comment was received about this application from residents and property owners at the Public Infonnation Meeting and Design Workshop held as part of the review of the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines. The consistent resident view expressed at the meetings was that medium density residential uses are not appropriate for these lands and that adequate buffering should be provided between proposed commercial buildings and the rear yards of existing dwellings by means of landscaped strips, preservation of vegetation, privacy fencing, set-backs and height limitations for the commercial buildings to mitigate the effects of noise, light or odours on residents. 2.2 Agency comments The following agencies provided written comments on the original application subsequent to the Public Infonnation Meeting: Durham District School Board: has no objections (see Attachment #10); Bell Canada: has no concerns; Þ- Veridian Corporation: has extensive technical requirements in order to provide service to the proposed (see Attachment #11); Canada Post: has technical requirements and no concerns (see Attachment #12); CN Rail: has extensive requirements to protect future residents from the effects of noise caused by CN operations (see Attachment #13); Region of Durham Planning Department: The Durham Regional Planning Department commented that the proposed uses are pennitted by the Region of Durham Official Plan and that municipal services are available, subject to verification and connections. A road allowance widening may be required at the site plan stage. -. Access to Kingston Road will be restricted, with a center median, to right-inlright-out turns only, with the applicant responsible for the cost of improvements. Ministry of Transportation approval will be required for the proposed access due to its proximity to the 401 ramp. Full access to the site is to be provided from the future Ring Road to Delta Boulevard and Kingston Road and a traffic impact study will be required to evaluate the impact on the Kingston RoadlHighway 401 ramp intersection. Requirements for costs of servicing, development charges and road improvements were noted. In addition, a noise impact report on the proposed residential uses should be conducted, due to proximity to the railway and Kingston road. Adequate control measures should be implemented to protect the creek from adverse impacts, to the satisfaction of the Conservation Authority and the City. A stand of unclassified trees on the property was noted. The applicant may be required to prepare and submit an archaeological assessment for review by the Ministry of Culture, Citizenship and Recreation (see Attachment # 14). 006 REPORT NUMBER PD 08-02 Date: January 21,2002 Subject: Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Page 5 ....... Region of Durham Works Department: The Region of Durham Works Department provided comments bye-mail on the traffic study conducted by I-Trans Consulting Inc. that was submitted in December 2000 by the applicant. The Regional Works Department commented that access to Kingston Road will be restricted to right-in/right-out turns only by installation of a raised center median. The comments noted that the I-Trans study did not address alternatives to alleviate operational problems at the access point or give details of alternative accesses to provide left turns to the proposed site. The comments noted that a connection must be provided to the property to the east and that M.T.O should receive a copy of the study for review (see Attachment #15). Subsequent verbal comments on the applicant's revised submission were provided by the Regional Works Department following the Phase I Transportation Study Report findings and discussions with the applicant and Pickering Planning & Development staff. The Regional Works Department will require: .-.. . a road widening of 2.0 metres; . traffic access to Kingston Road to be provided at the west edge ofthe subject lands as a combined access point to also serve the abutting westerly property; . an easement limitation agreement with the owner of the abutting westerly property that no further access from Kingston Road will be permitted; . agreement to provide an access across the north part of the property to connect the subject property to the abutting property to the east (Dunbarton school site); . a deceleration lane to be constructed at the applicant's expense; . urbanization of the Kingston Road frontage; and, . recognition that left turns onto/from Kingston Road may be controlled in the future at the discretion of the Region. Toronto and Region Conservation Authority: The TRCA commented that a stream flows across the south-west comer of the subject lands. Any interference with the stream corridor would require a permit from TRCA and TRCA will be requesting that the stream be recognized in the zoning of the site and that any development be set back a minimum of 10 metres from the stream corridor (see Attachment #16). Ministry of Transportation: The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) provided comments on the Phase I Final Report of the TSH Transportation Study for the Northeast Quadrant. The comments emphasized a preference that no access onto Kingston Road directly across from the Highway 401 ramp terminal be provided. However, provided the need for such an access could be justified, MTO would require the road to be a public road with no access, conflict points or sharp radius curves for the first 110 metres of the north limit of the current Kingston Road/Highway ramp intersection in order to provide adequate stopping distances for any vehicles that run the amber light at the intersection. MTO commented that they would require no full moves access points along the first 180 metres of this road (see Attachment #17). ,- 3.0 Discussion 3.1 Original Application The original application proposed zoning amendments to implement a preliminary conceptual site plan that included 18 townhouses on the north part of the site and 1625 square metres of commercial/retail and restaurant uses on the lands fronting Kingston Road. As submitted, the applicant's proposal failed to meet the City's Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines. REPORT NUMBER PD 08-02 Date: January 21,2002 007 Subject: Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Page 6 - However, this application was the first of four applications received by the City between June of 2000 and May of 2001 for properties within the Quadrant (or the immediate vicinity) that did not meet the requirements of the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines. The cumulative impacts of these proposals suggested that a review of environmental, transportation and land use/urban design issues may be warranted for the Northeast Quadrant. Staff approached Council in early 2001 to determine whether Council concurred that a review of the Northeast Quadrant was a priority for 2001 and whether budget funds would be allocated for this purpose. Council authorized the review in spring 2001 and provided budget allocations to hire consultants to undertake environmental, transportation and land use/urban design studies. Consequently, rather than send a report to Council recommending refusal of the applicant's submitted application, staff held the Wood, Carroll application pending the outcome of the review of the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines. 3.2 Appeal to Ontario Municipal Board Despite Council's authorization to undertake the review, Hayes Line Properties Inc. appealed Council's neglect to make a decision on the application to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on April 27, 2001. The hearing, initially scheduled to start October 16, 2001, was subsequently adjourned until February 14, 2002, at Pickering's request, to allow for the review to be completed. - Due to the complexity of the issues, and the active involvement of area residents requesting additional opportunities for involvement, the study has not yet been finalized, and the hearing date set by the Board is upon us. However, since substantial conclusions have been reached to date, staff has been able to apply those conclusions to the Wood, Carroll site and make recommendations on the proposal. 3.3 Revised Application The application was revised through the submission to the OMB of a new proposed amending zoning by-law. The City received circulation of the revised by-law in December 2001 to implement a revised preliminary site concept. The revised preliminary site concept eliminated the residential uses and reconfigured one-storey retail/commercial/restaurant building envelopes (see Attachment #3 - Applicant's Revised Concept). 3.4 Review of the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines 3.4.1 Progress - On May 3, 2001, Council approved a budget allocation for the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Review with a total developer contribution of not less than 50% of the total Review costs. Subsequently, the Planning & Development Department: (a) retained an environmental consultant to determine the feasibility for piping the Amberlea Creek tributary; (b) retained a transportation consultant to undertake a traffic and access review for the entire Northeast Quadrant; and (c) retained an urban designer/facilitator to assist staff in the review of land use and urban design matters. 008 REPORT NUMBER PD 08-02 Date: January 21,2002 Subject: Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Page 7 - TSH Engineers, Architects and Planners submitted the Phase I Final Transportation Study Report to the City in September, 2001. The Phase I Study concluded that an access management plan should be prepared that identifies access points for properties on Kingston Road east of Delta Boulevard, restriction of turning movements along Kingston Road, internal connections to adjacent properties, and an east-west public road to access Delta Boulevard and the Kingston Road/Highway 401 ramp intersection. Not completed yet is the Phase 2 Report, which is to address the alignment of a road to connect to the Kingston RoadlHighway 401 ramp intersection and confirm traffic generation based on proposed site plans. Schollen & Company Inc. provided the City with an Assessment of Alternatives for Amberlea Creek in the Northeast Quadrant in September 2001. The Assessment concluded, and TRCA concurred, that a net environmental benefit could be achieved, and consideration could be given to piping the tributary of Amberlea Creek through the Quadrant, if a downstream stormwater management pond were constructed. Staff arranged a meeting with the landowners in October 2001 at which a revised set of urban design and land use principles were identified for the Northeast Quadrant, and the results of the transportation and environmental studies were discussed. This information was then presented at a public meeting, held on October 30, 2001. A design workshop was subsequently held on November 24, 2001, with both area residents and landowners attending. 3.4.2 Emerging Conclusions - Although the review is not yet complete, staff have reached primary conclusions on the major principles of the review. It is appropriate to apply the decisions reached at this time for the Wood, Carroll property without prejudicing the results of the remainder of the review of the Northeast Quadrant. The primary conclusions reached, to date, as they affect the Wood, Carroll properties, are that: . Residential uses are not required on the north end of the property; . A public lane, of 10 metres in width, is required at the north end of the property; . Retail/commercial/office uses are appropriate on the south part of the site provided they contribute to the City's 'mainstreet' objectives of higher intensity and mixing of uses through the provision of33% of the gross floor area in second storey floorspace, and a minimum building height of two-storeys; and, . Detached dwellings to the north should be well buffered from commercial buildings to be constructed on this property. Commercial buildings should be separated from the residential yards by privacy fences, landscaped open space with preserved existing vegetation and parking areas. 3.4.3 Draft Amendment #1 to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines - A Site Specific Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines for the Wood, Carroll site is recommended for Council adoption to provide direction for subsequent site plan approvals for this property. This amendment will not prejudice future decisions respecting detailed guidelines for other properties within the Quadrant. The recommended guidelines implement the following objectives: . Permit commercial land uses on the entire site' , . Require access for pedestrians and traffic through the north part of the property by a public lane, of 10 metres in width with a sidewalk provided on private property; . Traffic access to Kingston Road be provided at the west edge of the property to serve as a joint access to this property and the abutting property to the west; REPORT NUMBER PD 08-02 Date: January 21, 2002 OO~J Subject: Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Page 8 .-.. . No structures be permitted within 10 metres of the Amberlea Creek tributary; . A minimum 3.0 metre landscape buffer strip be required between development on this property and rear yards of abutting low density residential dwellings to screen the yards from parking, loading and buildings, protect them from noise, light and provide privacy; . No buildings or structures be permitted on the subject lands north ofthe public lane; . The Kingston Road frontage be urbanized and landscaped, including a sidewalk; . Rooftop mechanical equipment be screened from view, restaurants be required to install high-efficiency odour-control equipment, significant existing trees be preserved at the north end of the property, and refuse storage be provided inside buildings. Staff is recommending that Council adopt the site specific amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines contained in Appendix I to Report PD 08-02. 3.5 Outstanding Issues 3.5.1 Land Use Issues Staff concurs with the applicant's interest in deleting residential uses for the north part of the site and permitting retail/commercial/office uses on the entire site in accordance with the Official Plan designations in force on the subject lands. ",.... The Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines envisioned medium density use of the internal portion of the subject lands, centred around an internal ring road with an interior linear park and commercial/retail uses on the Kingston Road frontage (see Attachment #4a - Northeast Quadrant Site Plan). The intensity and density of development within the site was to be of a moderate to high intensity with required residential density of 50 dwellings per hectare and commercial uses with required floor space indices of 0.5 located in 5 storey buildings. The applicant's original submission failed to include a public road, a park or the intensity and density of development contemplated by the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines. The revised concept for the Northeast Quadrant recommended by staff, is for retail/commercial/office uses fronting Kingston Road and the southern two-thirds of the Whites Road frontage lands with residential uses on properties with frontage on Sheppard Avenue. The Quadrant should have an internal road to provide access to two signalized intersections at Delta Boulevard/Kingston Road and the Highway 401 ramp /Kingston Road. Although this will produce a small parcel north of the public road in the Wood, Carroll properties in the staff recommended concept, on which no buildings would be located, parking associated with the retail/commercial uses would be permitted. With the recommended Guideline amendment, the applicant's deletion of residential uses is supportable; ",.... The only further land use restrictions staff is recommending relate to restaurants and vehicle rental establishments. It is recommended to restrict the gross leasable floor area of restaurants within the retail/commercial zone for the Wood, Carroll property to 900 square metres, so as to not allow domination of the area by one use. It is also recommended that vehicle rental establishments not be permitted within the Quadrant. Although vehicle rental offices will still be a permitted use under the definition of "business office", possible vehicle repair and car wash activities and the display/storage of large numbers of vehicles for rent is not considered compatible with the mix of retail and high quality uses desired for the Northeast Quadrant. 3.5.2 IntensitvofDevelopment Staff does not support the low intensity of commercial uses proposed by the applicant on the Wood, Carroll property (ie: all one storey structures, FSI of approximately 0.17). 010 REPORT NUMBER PD 08-02 Date: January 21, 2002 Subject: Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Page 9 - The Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines contemplated development of the Quadrant at a high intensity mixed use development with Floor Space Indices of 0.5 plus residential development that could have been expected to produce a further floor space index increment of approximately 0.5 in buildings of 5 to 7 storeys and predominantly underground parking. The Mixed Corridor official plan designation permitted development up to and including 2.5 FSI while an associated policy encouraged intensification, over time, up to the maximum floorspace indices. The Kingston Road Corridor Urban Design Development Guidelines prescribed low to mid-rise buildings on the north side of Kingston Road with the minimum building height being 2-storeys for the Whites Road Corridor Precinct. The staff preferred concept accepts a lower intensity through elimination of residential uses and replaces the mix contemplated with a higher intensity of retaiVcommercial uses (with 33% of gross floor area in second storey space). The staff preferred concept generally shows how this can be accomplished while still meeting appropriate parking . standards (see Attachment #4b). The proposed implementing by-law contains a provision requiring 33% ofthe gross floor area to be locatedin second storeys. The objective of achieving two storey massing/appearance of buildings close to Kingston Road implements the design objective for the Kingston Road corridor and the Northeast Quadrant of a more intimate pedestrian-friendly streetscape for Pickering's 'mainstreet' through the Northeast Quadrant. Inclusion of the second storey functional floorspace can be expected to attract uses such as offices, adding variety to the mix of uses and times of activity in the Quadrant, one of the primary objectives of the City for its 'mainstreet', Kingston Road, and for the Northeast Quadrant. To eliminate second storey space as desired by the applicant would undermine these 'mainstreet' objectives. - 3.5.3 Internal Public Lane Staff does not support the applicant's proposal to exchange rights-of-way in lieu of an internal public lane. The Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines (see Attachment #4a) contemplated an internal ring road, with an interior linear park as a focus for a residential component, and to provide access movements within the Northeast Quadrant. There are funds available to assist with the construction of this road as it was identified as a Development Charge project. Staff continue to recommend an internal east-west public lane (10 metre wide right-of-way), through the north end of the subject site to provide co-ordinated internal movement between sites, to allow orderly development of the Quadrant, to reduce congestion on Kingston Road and to provide for future intensification through redevelopment over time. ,... The public lane is to provide access to signalized intersections at Delta Boulevard and the Highway 401 ramp intersections at Kingston Road. The Ministry of Transportation has stated that a public road is required in order to permit access from the Dunbarton school site to the Highway 401 ramp intersection and that access to the public road should be limited to ensure that free flow of vehicles can be maintained. The applicant's original submission failed to provide a public ring road. The revised submission and the applicant's verbal comments indicate a willingness to exchange rights-of-way through the north part of the site. The City prefers a public lane to the rights-of-way because the City can guarantee maintenance and repair, obtain routes for sewers and streetlights and guarantee no future owner can stop the right-of-way. A public lane meets the MTO objective for a 'public road'. REPORT NUMBER PD 08-02 Date: January 21,2002 011 Subject: Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Page 10 ""... A requirement for a public lane would be implemented through imposition of a Holding Provision for these lands in the by-law. The provision would require the owner to enter into a financially secured development agreement requiring construction and conveyance of a public lane to the City's satisfaction before removal of the Holding Provision. In the event the OMB does not impose a requirement for a public lane, the City would be requesting that a Holding Provision be in the by-law to address this issue. The Holding Provision would require the owner to enter into an appropriate site/development agreement creating rights-of-ways over traffic aisles, through the appropriate land severance process, and conveying such rights-of-ways to the City, with the understanding that the City may further convey such rights-of-ways to abutting land owners at a future time. 3.5.4 Kingston Road Vehicular Access Location Staff recommends that vehicular access to the property be located at the west edge of the site as now proposed by the applicant. This location complies with the Northeast Quadrant Development Guideline that identified access adjacent to the McConachie property to the west of the subject lands, opposite the current access to the Boyer/Pickering Holdings properties on the south side of Kingston Road. The original Hayes Line Properties Inc. application showed the access in the center of the site, while the revised application shows it at the west edge of the property. ""... This is also the location for the access point that meets the requirement of the Regional Works Department. The Regional Works Department will require the applicant to construct a deceleration lane to this access point, which will require partial reconstruction of the Kingston Road frontage. The applicant will be required to recognize that left turns onto and off Kingston Road at this point may be controlled by the Region in the future, at the Region's discretion. This will permit the Region to construct a center median on Kingston Road to prevent left turns across Kingston Road or other means of controlling such turns, at the applicant's expense. The Region will also require the applicant to provide securities to pay for such construction in the future, should it be required. The Region will also require the applicant to provide access across the north part of the property to connect to the abutting property to the east (Dunbarton school site). In addition, in order to reduce the number of access points along this part of Kingston Road, Regional Works will require the owner of the abutting westerly property to agree that no further access from Kingston Road will be permitted onto those westerly lands. The requirements respecting the access location and related provisions noted above would also be implemented through a Holding Provision for these lands in the by-law. The provision would require the owner to enter into a development agreement to the City's satisfaction before removal of the Holding Provision. 3.5.5 Amberlea Creek Tributary ~ The original Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines did not contemplate an open channel for this stream. The Schollen report on the feasibility of piping the creek has concluded that a net environmental benefit will result from construction of a stormwater pond north of Highway 401, and could allow consideration of piping the tributary. Until a decision is reached on the matter of the stormwater pond facility, the creek channel may remain open for a period of time. This will require imposition of TRCA's normal requirement for a 10-metre buffer zone between development and the stream corridor. Recently, TRCA staff have suggested that open space zoning is not necessary for the buffer provided no structures are built within the buffer. 012 REPORT NUMBER PD 08-02 Date: January 21,2002 Subject: Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Page 11 This requirement is proposed to be addressed by careful delineation of the building envelope in the By-law that would ensure implementation at the site plan approval stage. 3.5.6 Stonnwater Treatment - Staff recommend that the applicant contribute to the downstream stonnwater management efforts as well as constructing on-site controls, if construction of the proposed development on the subject lands precedes a downstream solution. As a result of the Schollen Report on the Amberlea Creek tributary, the potential for a downstream Amberlea stonnwater quantity/quality control facility is being investigated. In the event the development of the Wood, Carroll property precedes construction of the Amberlea pond, landowners within the Northeast Quadrant will be required to contribute to the downstream stonnwater control works and provide on-site treatment. On-site stonnwater treatment is to be implemented through future site plan approval. Contribution to a downstream facility is to be implemented by the imposition of a condition for removal of the Holding Provision in the zoning requiring cost sharing according to a fonnula to be set out in a development agreement based on the land area and increased run-off co-efficient. 3.5.7 Other Design Matters Staff recommend various design matters be addressed in a site specific amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines for the Wood, Carroll property, through site plan approval, or through specific provisions recommended to be contained in the amending Zoning By-law. Such matters include: - . Minimum amount of functional 2nd storey floor area, with remaining buildings having a minimum 2 storey facade (dealt with in proposed Zoning By-law); . A maximum of one row of parking be pennitted plus a drive aisle between the front wall of buildings and Kingston Road (dealt with in proposed site specific guideline amendment); . A minimum set-back and maximum building height where commercial buildings abut existing residential lots (to be dealt with in proposed Zoning By-law); . Privacy fences be required to be constructed by the applicant along the lot lines of all existing dwellings where desired (to be dealt with in proposed site specific guideline amendment); . A build-to-zone be imposed to require 40% of the Kingston Road frontage lands to be occupied by building walls within 18 metres ofthe Kingston Road right-of-way (to be dealt with in proposed Zoning By-law); . All roof-top mechanical equipment be screened from view from Kingston Road and existing residential dwellings (to be dealt with in the site specific amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines); . High quality building materials be required for all building facades (to be dealt with through the site specific guideline amendment and site plan agreement); . Drive-through stacking preferred at rear of buildings with specified mInImUm stacking spaces (to be dealt with in the site specific guideline amendment); . Restaurants be required to install odour control devices at building pennit/construction stage (to be dealt with in the site specific guideline amendment); . High level pedestrian penneability and connections through the site to the public lane and connected to the abutting commercial sites (to be dealt with in the site plan agreement); . Sidewalk required on the south side of the public lane on private property built to the satisfaction of the City (to be dealt with in site plan agreement). .-. REPORT NUMBER PD 08-02 Date: January 21,2002 0.13 Subject: Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Page 12 3.5.8 Study Costs - Staff recommends Council re-affirm the requirement that applicants pay a proportionate share of the study costs before zoning is approved for each site. It is recommended that this be a requirement prior to removal of the Holding symbol from the proposed zoning for the subject lands. Council previously required cost sharing with benefiting landowners/developers contributing at least 50% of the approved maximum of $50,000. Some additional work has been required, increasing costs. It is recommended that Council re-affirm the requirement for benefiting landowners to pay costs in excess of $25,000 (the City's share). Should these costs not be paid in 2002, the costs should be indexed to the Southam Construction Index. 3.5.9 Zoning By-law Provisions Staff recommends that Council endorse, in principle, the provisions of the Zoning By-law amendment in Appendix II to Report Number PD 08-02, that staff be authorized to present Council's endorsement in principle at the scheduled OMB hearing, and further authorize staff to make adjustments to the By-law as technical issues are finalized. Land uses proposed by the applicant for the subject lands include a range of retail, commercial and office uses, including restaurants and vehicle rental establishments. The staff proposed By-law restricts restaurant uses to 900 square metres of floor space and removes vehicle rental establishments from the list of permitted uses as they are already permitted in a limited form as business offices. .-. The proposed amending By-law provides that buildings only be permitted within the building envelope located south of a proposed public lane, with parking permitted north of the lane. The proposed By-law provides that buildings be located with at least 40% of a build-to-zone along the Kingston Road frontage occupied by an exterior wall of a building. The By-law further provides that not less than 33% of the gross floor area of buildings to be constructed on the subject lands be provided in second storey space and that second storey space be built as part of the first phase- of development on the subject lands, should development on this site be phased. The By-law also provides for a minimum building height of 6.5 metres and a maximum height of 12.0 metres. - The proposed Zoning By-law amendment should include Holding Provisions that can be removed once specified conditions are met by the applicant. Conditions proposed include: . Payment of a proportionate share of the Northeast Quadrant Review study costs; . Execution of appropriate Site Plan and Development Agreements with the City to: 0 Construct and convey to the City, a public road across the north portion of the subject lands (including the provision of financial securities for the construction of the road); 0 contribute towards downstream stormwater management facilities; 0 provide for stormwater management on the subject lands; 0 construct a deceleration lane on Kingston Road and urbanize the boulevard fronting Kingston Road (including installation of storm sewers, curb and gutter, sidewalks and landscaping); 0 include clauses required by the Region: . warning that the Region reserves the right to install a central median on Kingston Road at such time in the future that the Region considers it is warranted for safety or efficiency of traffic; and . satisfactory evidence that arrangements have been made with the owner of the property to the west have the right to use the access along the west side of the Wood Carroll property, and to forego further access points to Kingston Road. 014 REPORT NUMBER PD 08-02 Date: January 21,2002 Subject: Amendment to the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Page 13 4.0 Applicant's Comments The applicant has been provided a draft copy of this Report, and advises as follows; - .

Zonin2 By-law 3036 Zoning By-law 3036 identifies the subject lands as "R3" - Residential Third Density Zone, which requires a minimum lot frontage of 18 metres; an amendment to the by-law would be required to allow the applicant's proposal to proceed. RESULTS OF CIRCULATION Resident Comments no written resident comments have been received to-date; Agency Comments - no written agency comments have been received to-date; Staff Comments Concept Plan Concept Plans are typically required with the submission of zoning by-law amendment applications in order to provide a basis for the preparation of zoning by-law provisions; staff have undertaken a preliminary review of the Concept Plan, and have detennined that it does not currently confonn with components of the Northeast Quadrant and Kingston Road Development Guidelines; issues include: . the scale of the proposal (building heights, residential units, and commercial floorspace) is substantially less that that envisioned by the Guidelines; . a substantial building presence along Kingston Road is lacking; . the absence ofthe public "ring road" and park space; . a mid-block siting of a Kingston Road access rather than a joint access with the westerly-abutting property; . . a large group of trees at the north end of the property are identified in the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines for possible retention; . the Concept Plan does not accommodate the build-to lines and parking arrangements recommended by the Development Guidelines; . with respect to the proposed townhouse block, its configuration orients the front face of homes towards a privacy fence and the back wall of the proposed èommercial buildings; such an orientation may result with a questionable living environment; the Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines orients the front face of residential . buildings towards a public "ring road" and park space, which is a far more appropriate focus; 4.3.2 Technical Matters - staff will continue to work with the applicant to revise the Concept Plan such that it better confomis with the Development Guidelines; opportunities to integrate vehicular aisles with abutting properties will be explored; zoning provisions will include such matters as pennission for specific uses, minimum/maximum building heights, "build-to zones", maximum floorspace, and minimum parking requirements; as mentioned previously, an Environmental Report may be required due to the nearby presence of a watercourse; staff will consult with' the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to detennine if such a report is necessary; Infonnation Report No. 23-00 ATTACHMENT #!:5 TO REPORT # PO QR-('J~ Page 4 035 - also mentioned previously, a.

PART OF LOT 28, RANGE 3 BFC (778- 790 KI~GSTO~ ROAD. EAST OF WHITES ROAD) 1. Geoff McKnight, Planner II, provided an explanation of the application, as outlined in Information Report #23-'00. 2. Ms. L. Jones, Planning Consulting representing the applicant, advised that they are concerned with the TRCA encouraging the retention of the creek which will affect this development and the joint access with the neighbours to the west. 1\ meeting is being arranged to address environmental issues. She further advised that the townhouses will not be taller than two stories and an attempt will be made to preserve the trees. Fencing will be dealt with at Site Plan. 3. Paul White, 507 Cliffview Road, advised that wood fencing deteriorates quickly, therefore, consideration should be given to brick veneer fencing. 4. John Ibbetson, 787 Sheppard 1\ve., stated his objection to anything higher than a two storey townhouse and his concern with 18 townhouses being constructed on five lots. He questioned if the townhouses are to be rented or sold and at what price. He also stated his concern over the possible loss of a 100 year old tree. 5. Robert McConachie, 770 Kingston Road, stated his concern with the entrance which if not moved will landlock their site. He advised that the Region of Durham will only allow a certain number of access and egress points off Kingston Road. 6. Sylvia Spencer, 771 Sheppard 1\venue, advised that the ring road is located on a portion of her property which she has no intention of selling. She questioned if the townhomes can be converted to home based businesses, will the parkland encroach on the creek and what size parkland has been allocated. She stated her objection to zoning changes and to any restaurant proposÿd for the site. 7. Mike Dubroy, 773 Sheppard 1\ve., advised that the original plan called for a buffer zone. The current proposal shows the townhouses to be built very close to his property. 8. Robert Lawrie, 852 Kingston Road, advised that his home is adjacent to the Old Dunbarton School and he questioned what is proposed for this site. He stated his concerns with respect to people accessing his property from the restaurant if built on this site. He questioned how transport trucks will enter and exit this site and how wi~l emergency vehicles access townhouses 15-18. .-. 037 ATTACHMENT fI- ::r TO REPORT # PO ()~ ~ ð~ July 27 2000 RECEIVED AUG 0 4 2000 CITY OF PICKERING PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT Since tbe late 1980,s there bas been very much controversY abnet the development DEPAATME"T of the land in th~ NW Quadrant. We the property owners at 760 &770 Kingston Rd. have some concerns about this site plan. Dear Sir, RE; Zoning By-law Amendment Application A22/00 Part Lot 28 Range 3 B.F.C. 778-790 Kingston Rd. Pickering 1. The driveway entrance to Kingston Rd. should be moved to the west property line to allow only one entrance on to Kingston Rd. and used by all four properties (761>-790 KingstOn Rd. ). as per the City plan & DnrbalR Region Traffic Dept.. ot.hefWÌSO we are landlocked with no entrance to Kingston Rd. 2. This site plan shows 18 town homes with no driveway access. By moving the Retail building easterly on the property and changing the driveway entrance, there then could be a driveway going along the west property line giving access to the townhouses. -- 3. The ring road that was suggested in the urban study which was performed in the 1980's should be abolished as it takes up to much space and serves no real purpose. Since the Board Of Education Property is noW for sale, the road for this NW quadrant should start at the stop lights at the school property, cross tbru the adja- properties and join op with Delta Blvd which would let the traffic come oot at the other traffic light on Kingston Rd. We feel this would make a safe entrance 1ß service the north portinn nf all the properties. (as per sketch) 4. There is no provision on this site plan showing any privacy fence for the adjacent properties. 5. There is no provision on this site plan showing any building for the storage of garbage. 6. There is nothing showing placement of a retaining walt should the developer change the existing grade of the property 7. There is no mention of storm water management during or after construction. .8. The original City plan showed interconnecting driveways thru all the properties, This can not be feasible now because of the finish grade of the properties west of are property. Yours Truly ..-. J.

RE: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Written Comments .- As an adjoining land owner directly behind the subject property I object to the proposed town homes less than 2S feet from the property line. The location of the town homes is where a stand of pine trees are. These trees provide some green space and a home for birds and other animals. The town plan called for these trees to be a buffer zone of natural vegetation between high and low density housing. Because the area of the proposal is small there is not enough space for both residential and commercial developments on that one lot. This area is part of the Pickering City core with immediate access to HWY# 401. This proposal doesn't seem to properly use the area. I believe it would be more appropriate to have a commercial or govt. office building on that space with a buffer zone on the north side. Do we really want to have little kids playing near some very major roads and multiple intersections? Yours Truly: ~þ~/ Mike DuBroy 773 Sheppard Ave. . Pickering, On.

From: Sent: .,¡o: bject: Normand and Rita Dufresne[SMTP:ngd46@home.com] August 10, 2000 8:53 PM Brenner, Maurice, Councillor Re building of town houses east of Whites on Sheppard Dear Mr. Brenner: I understand the above matter was discussed tonight at a town meeting. I was unable to attend the meeting due to health problems. I however would like to voice to you my concern in seeing more people living along Sheppard because our concern regarding speeding along Sheppard is still outstanding. These townhouses will mean more traffic along Sheppard, which is already taxed to the limit. Speeding continues unabated despite the numerous complaints from several of the residents along Sheppard. We did see a Police car on our street in a couple of occasions, but they catch two or three cars and go away. This does not frighten the rest of the drivers who continue to use Sheppard at speeds from 60 to 90 km/hr in the 40 and 50 km zone, making it difficult and dangerous for the residents to get out of their driveways. Sheppard is narrow and cannot safely accommodate the speeds of a large proportion of the cars, especially when some cars are parked along the street. You should notice that from Altona to Fairport there are 6 red lights along Kingston Road but only one along Sheppard. This makes Sheppard the preferred route for those in a hurry. Please do not approve this building blitz along Sheppard until a solution is found to calm our traffic. I know of the program where citizens can man a radar and send listS of licenses to the police. This can lead to being the subject of vandalism as people notified would have seen you on the side of the road. You know what kind of nuts we have in our midst by listening to the news every night! I am adamant that enforcement is the affair of the police, who are mandated to do just that. Best regards. Normand G.

Pickering, ON L 1 V 6K7 Dear Mr. McKnight: Re: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/00 Applicant: Wood Carroll et al. ' Location: North side of Kingston Road, east of Whites Road Part of Lot 28, Range 3, Broken Front Concession Municipality: City of Pickering In' response to your request, we wish to provide the following comments with respect to conformity with the Region of Durham Official Plan, the proposed method of servicing and delegated provinciaì plan review responsibilities. The purpose of the proposed zoning by-law amendment is to permit retail/commercial uses (restaurant) and 18 townhouse units on the subject lands. To date no application for severance has been submitted to the Land Division Committee nor has a condomin'ium application been received. ' . The Region of Durham Official Plan designates the subject lands "Living Area". This designation is used predominantly for housing purposes, however, the designation also permits limited office development and limited retailinfj of goods and services, in appropriate locations, as components of mixed use developments, provided that Community and Local Central Areas are designated in the area municipal official plan, and the functions and characteristics of such Central Åreas are not adversely affected. ' ' Kingston Road is designated a Type "B" Arterial Road in the Region of Durham Official Plan. The policies state that within Urban Areas, intensive residential, office, shopping and 'mixed uses shall be locat,?d along arterial roads. . , Full municipal services are available to service the site through the existing water and sewer mains. The Region will require that the sanitary sewer connection across Kingston Road be installed with a tunneling, operation. ' If the site were to be severed into residential and commercial components, each site would require separate service connections. The commercial site, fronting onto Kingston Road, would be serviced from Kingston Road. The townhouse, site would require the extension of the 200-mmsanîtary sewer and 300-mm watermain from Delta Boulevard easterly to the site. The existing 200-mm sanitary sewer pipe on Delta Boulevard will require verification that capacity is available to service the townhouse block. . The applicant will be required to convey, at the site plan stage, sufficient road allowance widening to allow for a minimum 18.0 m. right of way from the existing centreline of Kingston Road. ' Access onto Kingston Road will be restricted, with a centre median, to right-in/right- out only. The applicant will be responsible for the full cost of installation of the centre-median and any associated road improvements. ...2 100% Post Consumer , 047 ATTACHMENT # 15 TO BËPORT # PD---'lR-~)d. . -- -----Original Message----- .

Level of Service Calculations The study is to be revised to reflect the following: 1. Calculations shown in the study utilize the CCG/CALC 2 Performance Analysis Data, we do not accept this data, we accept the HCS software only 2. We require a 90 second cycle length and not a 120 second cycle length. Proposed Access A full access as shown onto Kingston Road is not acceptable. As stated in previous comments: To avoid operational problems the proposed access onto Kingston Road will be restricted to right-in/right-out only by the installation of a raised ~~ntre median. The cost of the centre median will be 100 % the responsibility of the applicant. The study does not address ...<!ternatives to alleviate the operational problems at the access as shown. The traffic study does not give details of alternative accesses and the impact that an alternative access would have on left turns to the proposed site. If it is shown that an alternative entranceway can decrease the operational concerns (left turns) at the proposed access, then consideration may be given to the possibility of a full turns access. However, the Region would then reserve the right, in case of operational and safety concerns, to contml the full access at their discretion. Development of Site An alignment must be preserved to the east, this should be shown as part of the study.

ONTARIO Mr. Geoff McKnight Planning Department City of Pickering Pickering Civic Centre One The Esplanade Pickering, ON L 1 V 6K7 Dear Mr. McKnight: Re: File No. A 22/00 Zoning By-law Amendment Wood Carroll et. at Part of Lot 28, Range 3, B.F.C. (778-790 Kingston Road, east of Whites Road) City of Pickering - This will acknowledge receipt of the above zoning by-law amendment. It is our understanding that the applicant is seeking to amend the zoning by-law to facilitate the construction of retail, commercial and restaurant uses along the Kingston Road frontage, and 18 townhouse units along the northern portion of the subject site. The subject property is located partially within the stream corridor of a tributary which flows into Frenchman's Bay which is subject to the Authority's Fill Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation, Ontario Regulation 158. In accordance with Ontario Regulation 158 a permit is required from the Authority prior to the following works taking place: . straighten, change, divert or interfere in any way with the existing channe! of a river, creek, stream or watercourse. Enclosed please find a part print of the Authority's Proposed Fill Line Extension map (Waterfront Sheet 60), on which we have highlighted in yellow the subject property, and in green the Authority's proposed fill regulation line. The stream corridor traversing the westerly boundary of the subject property drains an area less than 125 hectares. - Under the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, a stream corridor draining an area less than 125 hectares is defined as being: "a minimum of 10 metres inland from the predicted meander belt of the watercourse, expanded as required to convey the major system flows and/or to maintain riparian stream functions. " Authority staff have completed their review of the submitted documents and offer the following comments: .../2 049 ATTACHMENT #_lb. _TO ':;EPOHT # PO ()8'-Ód - Mr. Geoff McKnight - 2- August 9, 2000 Authority staff note that a watercourse appears to traverse the south west corner of the site and flow along the westerly boundary of the property. In order to confirm the limits of this natural feature, staff have arranged to conduct a site visit on August 16, 2000. Once the limits of the natural feature on the property has been identified, Authority staff will be requesting that they be recognized and zoned accordingly in the bylaw. Staff also note that the block encompassing the stream corridor is suitable for public acquisition. We will forward more detailed comments after our site visit on August 16, 2000. We trust this is satisfactory; however, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to . contact the undersigned. - Yours truly, ~ Russel White Plans Analyst Development Services Section Ext. 5306 MH/fa - ~ ~ 'C .-9 .;.)(; .- C ~ t-C) 20- LU 2~ :J:t- C,,) a: <Co I=t}¡ c:¡;a: 0- l{j _.

RE: Kingston Road - Whites Road Northeast Quadrant Transportation Study Phase 1 Final Report City of Pickering Highway 401 We have reviewed the submitted information and offer the fol1òwing comments: It is this ministry's preference that there be no access On Kingston Road directly across the Highway 401 ramp terminal. We would therefor encou.rage development as shown in Alternative 5, Alternative 6 and Access Concept A, ,-'. Our Concerns regarding the alternatives involving access across from the Highway 401 E~E/W ramp are as follows: - . As mentioned in the report, the need for this access must be justified. The Delta Boulevard access may be su.ffic:ient to serve the development. Benefits of the new access would have to be weighed against impacts of locating directly across a ramp terminal. . Any access across from the ramp terminal shall have no southbound through movement to access Highway 401 WE- This through movement would probably necessitate an additional signal phase, . which is not possible as the signals are at capacity and the signal timing has no free time. Signal timing must be maintained to ensure preference is given to ramp traffic. . Ifnorthbound through movements are considered fÌ'om the ramp to the access; it must be ensured that minimum stopping distances are maintained. The current advisory speed on the ramp is 50km/hr. Thete is the possibility of northbound ramp through vehicles crossing the intersection at 60kmlhr- 70kmlhr if they are trying to "beat" an amber signal. Therefore if the 70km/hr is assumed, a minimum '" n5~ An ACHMENT #_.1 J _TO REPORT # PO ÒX' -{}d NOV,-09'G1(PRI) 16:07 CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT TEL:4162354267 Po 003 - stopping distance of 110m is required, which means there should be no accesses, no conflict points, no sharp radius CU1Ves, etc. within 110m north of the north limit ofthe intersection. . Some alternatives consider a southbound left turn movement to go east on Kingston Road. This presents a conflict point if northbound ramp vehicles are pennitted through the intersection to the development (Alternatives 1,2, and possibly Access Concept B). If northbound ramp vehicles ar~ not pennitted through the intersec~ion, as shawn in Alt~mative 3, "no though access" signage would have to erected for the ramp. This may not be effective, and depending where this signing is erected, it may possibly confuse Kingston Road left turn and right turn vehicles attempting to access the development. . The road would have to be a public road, (not an entrance as indicated in OP A Ol-O03/P and ZBA AIOIOI,for North American Acquisition Corp). We would also require that there be no full moves access points along the first 180m of this road. This requirement may preclude the viability ofthe gas bar as indicated in the OP AlZBA. We are also prepared to discuss access opportunities as they relate [0 Highway 401 and ramp terminals at Whites Road and Kingston Road, during Phase 2 of the Transportation Network review. We will require: 1. Estimates of site generated traffic from all existing and proposed land uses within the study area. 2. Detailed traffic operational analysis of the impact of future traffic on the level of traffic service on Highway 401 and associated ramps and ramp termlna.Js on Whites Road and Kingston Road. Analysis of existing traffic conditions Table I - Characteristics of Study area roads - does not include the Hwy 401 WB on ramp from southbound on Whites road. From Figure 1 - Study Area - the Whites road north and south approaches on ramps to WB 401 fall within the boundaries of the StudY area. At least the on ramp from the north - approach of Whites road should be included for analysis in Phase 2. This one lane on-ramp had peak a.m. volume of about 1900 vph, according to OUI 1995 database. Please provide justification for the assumption that p.m. peak hour volume is 12% of daily tTaffic (Table 1 -<:ohunn 6). A check with Kingston on/off ramp 1995 data indicates an average of about 6.7% of daily traffic as p.m. peak volume, and ranges from 6% to 10%. Using 12% for all roads in the study area underestimates the daily traffic where the actual percentage is less. The consultant should determine the actual percentage for eaçh road. Also, it should be confinned that the daily traffic is an estimation of the annual average daily traffic. As' well, Table 1 does not indicate the dates for the p.m. peak hour volumes from wruch the daily traffic was estimated. We believe the source is the p.m. peak flows given in Figure 3 of the report. Table 1. which appears before Figure 3, doesn't indicate that. Additional comments will be provided once a detailed analysis is received. ,-" I trust that this is sufficient to your needs.
