would be landlocked and if approved would demonstrate poor planning.
See Recommendation #1
2. James Morrow, 1639 Finch Avenue, advised that he lives immediately to the
west of the subject lands and stated his concern that his privacy will be
jeopardized and the integrity of his property will be lost. Mr. Morrow
questioned what affect, if any, the development will have on his well. He
submitted pictures of his property.
3. Gary Templeton, representative of Taiga Urban Developments Inc.
commented on the zoning of the subject lands and stated that the proposed
six units barely meets the medium density policy. Mr. Templeton further
stated that the units would be on City services and as such he would not
anticipate any impact on neighbouring wells. Mr. Templeton requested
Council to remove the 7.5 metre set-back at the front of the proposed dwelling
on lot 6 to eliminate the need for revised floor plan. He confirmed that a 1.5
metre privacy fence would be constructed on the west property line.
