Aooroved
See Recommendation #1
Domine Cirone, 1759 Woodview Ave., advised that the design of this application
and an increase in the road curve will encroach on his lot.
Paul Krejcik, 1753 Woodview Ave., advised that the grading problems have not
been addressed and ponding is still occurring at the back of his property. He
suggested two solutions; dig a ditch across the rear of the properties leading to the
railroad tracks or pay for his connection to sewers. He stated that the developer
has agreed to rectify the problem but, to date, nothing has happened and he would
like to see a solution in writing. He also stated his concern that the extension of
the noise barrier to Woodview Ave. has not been addressed.
Blaine Rust, 183 Twyn Rivers Drive, also speaking on behalf of Mr. Chan of Twyn
Rivers Drive, spoke against the noise attenuation barriers. He requested a proper
study be undertaken regarding the reflection of the noise coming back to the
homes.
'W.
Mr. Brouwer, 1757 Woodview Ave. advised that construction has raised the level
of water and heavy rains create a serious odor problem in the back yards. His
concern is that more construction will create increased problems.
Colin Findlay, 1755 Woodview Ave. advised that he is experiencing serious
ponding problems. Once the sewers were installed, drainage problems were
created.
Lloyd Cherniak, Nugget Construction, stated that a number of years ago Oakburn
Street was constructed to assist residents in future development. He stated that
this development will not affect Mr. Cirone's property and that the septic problems
being experienced by the neighbours have not been the fault of Nugget Const. He
also advised that the noise consultant had provided a report to staff advising that
there will be minimal impact on the residents. They will gladly deal with staff
concerning any other grading problems.
