b.
Karen Watson, President of and representing the HighviewlFox Hollow
Community Committee advised that concerns have been raised many times
but, in their opinion, have not been addressed. Stormwater Management
concerns have become of great concern to all residents. She questioned the
planning strategies in place by the Town of Pickering and Region of
Durham for flooding in this area. She stated that Councillor Brenner
advised that their concerns would be considered and responded to. They
do not believe that the Planning Department are working in the residents
best interests. If the proposed plan is approved it will be clear that the
T own of Pickering is more interested in increased tax revenue than the
concerns of the residents.
c.
Dale Pearson, 750 Stonepath Circle, stated his concern regarding the size
of the detention pond, the expansion of the driveway and the increase to
four access points from Whites Road. Drainage would have to be fixed as
well as access.
d.
Sandy Bouwhuis questioned the criteria in determining which homes on
Arcadia would have four foot sub floors and which would not. Those with
the sub floor did not suffer the amount of damage as did those without.
e.
Lynn Pavanel, advised that most of her concerns have been addressed by
previous speakers but commented on her concern regarding the health
hazard which could occur due to the close proximity to her back yard of
the truck route. At some points the truck route is as close as 8 feet to
some residents rear yards.
f
Mortimer Phills, read a letter to Council from the Pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Strouds Lane and Whites Road concerning the
flood which occurred on July 16th. He stated the community suffered a
great deal of water damage, that the rear doors of the church retained
water marks 18" high and that the carpet needed to be replaced. He
advised that he is opposed to lessening the storm drain. Mr. Phills advised
that the concerns in this letter are an indication of the concerns of all the
residents.
g.
Donna Denton, stated her concern with the truck line and health issues
with respect to rodents and garbage.
Resolution #170/98
Moved by Councillor Dickerson
Seconded by Councillor Ryan
That Mr. Reale be heard as a delegation.
CARRIED
h.
Mr. Reale, thanked Planning staff for their hard work. He stated that he
has no concern with By-law 5368/98. His concern regarding By-law
5374/98 is basically two fold. He would like the "H" Holding Provision
removed advising that there is ample control in the site plan approval and
subdivision agreement process. This holding designation could have a
negative impact on the financial aspect of the development. He suggested
that no building permits be issued until site plan approval and subdivision
agreement have been reached. He believes an agreement has been reached
regarding landscape, only needs to be put into a landscape drawing. Height
restriction to future commercial development is a concern. Concerned with
the deletion of the restaurant component.
