He also indicated the applicant's willingness to work with the community and continue to do further public consultation. Chris Wright, 1289 Ilona Park Road, appeared before the Committee, noting his main concerns were with respect to densities as well as traffic. He noted that without the bonus zoning provision, 25% of the parking spaces would be eliminated. He also stated that if the 71 units are allowed, there will need to be changes made to Liverpool Road to control traffic, noting it is already busy with additional summer traffic. He also noted his opposition to three storeys. John Wingate, 1230 Ilona Park Road, appeared before the Committee in opposition to the application, noting it does not conform with the existing community. He noted the need for greenspace, as residents have nowhere to sit along Liverpool Road. He also stated his concerns with the proposed density, noting their only view will be a wall of houses. Jacqueline Smart, 829 Fairview Avenue, appeared before the Committee in opposition to the application, questioning the similarities to the Nautical Village with its lack of parking. She noted that previous parking studies had recommended a need to purchase property on the east side of Liverpool for additional parking. She also noted she did not want to see parking permits being issued as currently exist on Ilona Park Road. She also questioned at what point the parkland behind Holy Redeemer School was sold or removed, as it still shows on the map as an L shaped park. She noted they were never informed of a decrease in the park size. She also noted her concerns with the density as well as lack of privacy, and stated that the buffer is a permanent right of way.

Jill Adams, 1285 Commerce Street, appeared before the Committee, noting she shares her neighbour's concerns.

He stated they will be holding additional community consultations to obtain further input. Carol Cometa, 1325 Foxglove Avenue, appeared before the Committee, noting her property abuts the walkway, which would mean four new neighbours which would block her sunlight. She felt that the walkway should be closed at Foxglove Avenue as there is another walkway providing access onto Liverpool Road. She noted concerns with the size of parking spaces, indicating that additional parking would be required for soccer fields. She stated concerns with the number and height of the proposed houses. Tammy Wright, 1289 Ilona Park Road, appeared before the Committee expressing concerns with the density, questioning where additional children would be going to school, whether they would be sharing the park, as well as losing the integrity of the community. David Cumming, 1318 Commerce Street, appeared before the Committee in opposition to the proposed density, noting privacy and parking concerns. He stated that currently cars are parking on both sides of the street. He noted another study should be conducted during the summer months. He also noted his opposition with having a parking lot within a park. Kamil Kwapich, 1296 Commerce Street, appeared before the Committee in agreement with the previously noted concerns. He also stated that traffic is already quite heavy on Liverpool Road with the current density, the additional traffic with the events taking place at the lake, as well as soccer leagues and summer visitors, which creates further congestion and safety concerns. He also questioned evacuation plans in the event of an emergency and agreed that the park should not be used as a parking lot. Catherine Hall, 1230 Ilona Park Road, appeared before the Committee, reiterating concerns with density and construction. Thomas Dalzell, 1285 Commerce Street, appeared before the Committee, noting his main concerns were with respect to density and traffic. He noted that the neighbourhood has a very real sense of community and already creates economic activities, welcoming many visitors throughout the summer months, which could also lead to security risks as well. 4 city co _ Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes lCe rUNhC Monday, June 20, 2016 7:00 pm — Council Chambers Chair: Councillor McLean Margaret Mark, 1296 Commerce Street, appeared before the Committee noting they currently enjoy large backyards, stating concerns over a potential decrease in property values. Karen Keating, 1314 Broadview Street, appeared before the Committee in agreement with previous concerns regarding traffic, density and a change in the demographics of the neighbourhood. She also indicated her concerns in the event of an evacuation. She also disagreed with KLM's report which indicated the criteria had been met, questioning why the City would consider bringing all these additional people into an area with no schools and less access to the highway. Debbie Cumming, 1318 Commerce Street, appeared before the Committee in opposition to the application, stating it was unnecessary and not wanted in the community. Glyne Lane, 868 Chapleau, appeared before the Committee, stating he could not see the benefit to the community.
