C. Rose, Chief Planner, appeared before the Committee to act as facilitator for the
public portion of the meeting, explaining the process for discussion purposes as well as
the order of speakers.

Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 14/18
2184107 Ontario Inc.
Part of Lot 18, Concession 3: Now Part 2, 40R-6962
(On Brock Road, north of Rex Heath Drive)
A public information meeting was held under the Planning Act, for the purpose of
informing the public with respect to the above-noted application.
R. McNeil, Planner I, appeared before the Committee to provide an overview of the
proposed zoning by-law amendment application as submitted by 2184107 Ontario Inc.
Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, she outlined the location and current
surrounding land uses. She noted the applicant is proposing a six storey mixed use
building comprised of 634 square metres of commercial space and 35 residential units.
She stated that vehicular access is proposed from Carousel Drive leading to
underground parking, which would accommodate 48 parking spaces for residents and
visitors. She also noted that commercial access would be restricted off Brock Road,
and would consist of 19 parking spaces.
Mike Pettigrew, Biglieri Group, appeared before the Committee on behalf of the
applicant in support of the application. He noted he was in attendance to respond to
any questions or concerns raised.
Pradeep Kumar, 1726 Carousel Drive, appeared before the Committee noting his
concerns with respect to increased traffic and the impact on area residents. He also
questioned the residential zoning, as he had understood it to be strictly commercial. He
expressed further concerns regarding the proposed pathway with its proximity to the
ramp leading to the underground parking, noting safety concerns for children as well as
privacy issues for residents.
A discussion period ensued with Members questioning whether the road would divide
the parkette, noting this could create safety concerns for the children. They also
questioned the possibility of a higher fence to create a buffer and allow for privacy
between the parking and residential units. Members raised questions regarding traffic
concerns and traffic flow, and questioned how southbound traffic would access the
development.

A public information meeting was held under the Planning Act, for the purpose of
informing the public with respect to the above-noted application.
F. Chau, Planner I, appeared before the Committee and through the aid of a
PowerPoint presentation, provided an outline of the proposed amendments to the
existing zoning as submitted by Stuart Mark Golvin and JMPM Holdings Ltd. for
property municipally known as 1635 Bayly Street. He stated that the proposed
amendments would allow for additional uses on the site, as well as modifications to the
existing Special Regulations in order to create greater flexibility for additional land uses.
He stated the current proposal does not make any changes to the existing and future
buildings, vehicular access or parking area.
Mark Jacobs, Biglieri Group, appeared before the Committee on behalf of the applicant
in support of the application. He stated the purpose of the proposal is to increase the
flexibility for the site. Mr. Jacobs provided clarification that the intent was for either a
daycare or private school, not both and stated they have submitted a compatibility study
which is currently being reviewed.
No members of the public appeared in support of or opposed to the application.
A discussion period ensued with Members noting safety concerns for traffic flow in the
area, questioning whether the Region of Durham would be receptive to signalization at
the intersection of Bayly Street and Salk Road, and if not, would the City pursue
alternative measures.
