(I) ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION All/93
STEELE VALLEY DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED
PART LOT 18. CONCESSION 1
'-"
1. An explanation of the application, as outlined in Information Report No. 32/93,
was given by Valerie Rodrigues, Senior Planner.
2. Jamie Bennett, Marshall Macklin Monaghan Limited, representing Steele Valley
Development Limited, stated that the application is to permit additional special
purpose commercial uses as permitted by the Durham Region Official Plan and the
Pickering District Plan. The Durham Region Official Plan directs these types of
uses to site to compliment the Regional Node designation. His client is an
experienced commercial developer but the proposed tenants are not prepared to
commit to the site until zoning is in place. The site has excellent Highway #401
and Brock Road accessibility and a traffic study has indicated that there are no
negative impacts on traffic. He is willing to work with the staff of the Planning
Department to draft a zoning by-law for Council's review in the near future.

(ll) DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION 18T -93007
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION A13/93
MATHEW DIASIO
PART OF LOT 18. CONCESSION 2
1. An explanation of the application, as outlined in Information Report No. 33/93,
was given by Chris Wong, Senior Planner.
2.
Bruce Milburn, Grand Oak Homes, representing the applicant, stated that he
initiated this application because Grand Oak Homes has an option to purchase the
property. He was concerned with some aspects of the precinct review which will
limit the choice ofland use options of the subject property and he hoped that there
was flexibility to discuss this matter further. The location of the park and school is
a major concern because if half the property is lost to a school site, the site cannot
be developed. The plan reflects current District Plan designations. With respect to
housing form, their townhouses do not dictate a form for the surrounding area;
other housing forms are available for other sites. The road pattern has been
changed several times since the application was submitted but he is willing to work
with the neighbours and the staff to determine the appropriate design. He noted
that he is pursuing a Regional approval for access from Brock Road opposite
Major Oaks Drive. With respect to environmental issues, he is working with the
MTRCA to set development limits and will be protecting several large trees. He
stated that he is willing, at the site plan level, to create a proper streetscape.
