He requested that the two entrances to his property remain the same. Joe Murray, 1751 Appleview Road, stated his concern with the proposed use of the hotel, noise, and sound barrier. He feels that the issue of long-term housing has not been addressed and the size of the appliances in the units should be restricted. This is an inappropriate location for a hotel. Sherrie Gleed, 1754 Appleview Road, expressed her concerns with the suitability of the location, stating that the traveling public need visibility, access to Hwy. 401 and attractions. A hotel should not be located in a neighbourhood and certainly not across from a Montessod School. Scott Currie, 1738 Appleview Road, stated his support of the comments made at the previous meeting along with the comments made this evening. These units should not have kitchens as this is geared to long-term housing. The Dunbarton Neighbourhood is not an appropriate location for a hotel. Vern Bruce and Cassandra, stated their concerns with the location of this hotel advising that they are the adjacent owners and this hotel would overshadow their property and would cause a loss of privacy. The property is too small to accommodate parking which is already a problem. The address for this property should be stated as Merritton Road not Sheppard Avenue. Lisa Biker, 938 Dunbarton Road, advised that they have recently moved onto Dunbarton Road and are very concerned with this proposal stating its inappropriateness for this location. Deno D'Allessandro, 924 Dunbarton Road, expressed concerns with respect to noise and vibration from the railway. This location is inappropriate for a four-storey hotel, the property is too small and there is no exposure to Hwy. 401. He stated that at the previous Statutory Public Information Meeting, Mr. Gleed requested, and he would like to see, a market study and a list of the room rates. 2 PICKEI G Executive Committee Meeting Minutes Monday, April 25, 2005 7:50 PM Chair: Councillor Ashe PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT REPORT PD 15-05 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL'S PERMISSION TO DEVELOP BY LAND SEVERANCE TANIA SPRING 1839 PINE GROVE AVENUE PART OF LOT 6, PLAN 282 & PART OF THE ROAD ALLOWANCE BETWEEN LOT 34 & 35 (PART 2, PLAN 40R-20388) Approved See Recommendation #2 OPERATIONS & EMERGENCY SERVICES REPORT OES 08-05 ANTI-WHISTLING BY-LAW, ROSEBANK ROAD CROSSING Approved By-law Forwarded to Council See Recommendation #3 a) Reg Marshall, 107 Secord Street, requested assistance with the train whistling on the Finch Avenue CNR rail. b) Nancy Picciolo, 250 Waterford Gate, expressed her upset with the train whistling on the Finch Avenue CNR rail and requested that Council address the issue.
