2. David Steele, 966 Timmins Gardens, advised that PACT members have not had enough
opportunity to review the report and also stated that the Official Opinion submitted by PACT
has not been included in this report. He further advised that PACT have no objections to
townhouses or commercial/retail space. He stated the unfairness that after spending four years
on the Waterfront Task Force and one year on this process that they have not had an opportunity
to comment on this report.
3. Jacqueline Smart, reiterated the comments of David Steele and advised that she also has not had
enough time to review this document and provide comments. She requested that this document
not be adopted until interested parties have time to review.
4. Richard Ward, Orono, advised that this is a study which can be amended as it is not etched in
stone. The proposal being put forward by Pickering Harbour Company is a positive one.
5. Paul Kelland, 921 Grenoble Blvd., questioned certain aspects of the report such as the cost to
residents of the sanitary sewer constraints, as well as will adequate parking be provided or will
payment-in-lieu of parking be received. He suggested that more time is required for proper
review and forwarding of comments.
6. Paul White, 507 Cliffview Road, remarked on the shortness of time given to residents to review
and respond to the report. He stated that with Council, consultants and staff working together,
this will be done right but changes are needed. Parking is a concern and off-street parking is
required. He also suggested that cars be blocked from close proximity to the lake.
-
7. Sylvan Trepanier, Monica Cook Place, stated that it appears that decisions are fast tracked, but
there is no rush for approval. The City should be able to put constraints on way development is
developed.
8. Jill Adams, Commerce St., stated her support of the comments made by Jacqueline Smart and
requested the opportunity to read the report and forward comments to staff.
9. Bill Laws, Wharf St., congratulated Council on the great job done at the Waterfront but stated
his concern with parking. He advised that the marina is private property and residents should
not park there.
10. John Earley, 810 Helen Cres., questioned if the extension of Commerce St., west of Front Street
will be a public thoroughfare.
11. A resident of Wharf Street, stated her support of Pickering Harbour Companies submission and
the division of East Shore Marina. She stated her concern with the rights of the residents to
view and access the lake.
12. Betty Metcalfe, complimented the work at the Liverpool Waterfront but stated her concern that
residents will have to accept what developers want. She requested more time for residents,
PACT and PESCA to review and respond to report.

1. Sylvan Trepanier, Monica Cook Place, questioned how Committee can move on this item when
the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review is not complete. He requested that this item be
deferred until after the January 21st, 2002 Council meeting.
2. Gary Peck, representing the applicant, advised that this application complies with both the
Official Plan and the Official Plan Amendment. The units to be built would convert to
commercial. He further advised that there is not enough sewer capacity to allow restaurants or
coffee shops. This development would create a catalyst for the area.
