ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION A 18/93 (REVISED)
G. & L. DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED
LOTS 27 AND 28, PLAN 329
(NORTHWEST CORNER OF PINE GROVE AVENUE AND OAKBURN ST)
.......
1. An explanation of the application, as outlined in Information Report No 30/94,
was given by Linda Taylor, Manager, Current Operations Division.
2. Peter Landolt, representing the applicant, stated that draft approval for these lands
was issued in 1984 but no development took place because services were not in
the area. The approved lots are very large and would be very expensive to market.
His revised plan provides for development in co-operation with abutting owners
and would provide a mix of singles and semis.
3.
Bill Neil, 1897 Woodview Avenue, was concerned about the imbalance of the
number of semis in this proposed plan in comparison to the existing
neighbourhood. He noted that 26 dwellings will be built on the new plan as
opposed to only 15 that was approved. Instead of the four singles and 22 semis
that are proposed, the mix of housing should be more equal in order to be in
character with the existing neighbourhood. He noted that there is a watercourse
on the subject lands and stated that it is the Town's responsibility to ensure that it
is not detrimentally affected.
.......,
4. Bruce Manning, 1860 Woodview Avenue, stated that he agrees with the comments
of the previous speaker and felt that the new application should state definitively
what will be built on each lot.
5. Peter Landolt, representing the applicant, responded that this new plan was
submitted in order to co-operate with the abutting owners in order to allow them
to develop in an orderly manner. There is a ditch on the subject lands that runs
into a storm sewer and he stated that the property is not a wetland.
6. Bill Neil, 1897 Woodview Avenue, stated that the watercourse on the subject
lands has been designated by the Ministry of Natural Resources as a waterway that
can support fish.

~
2. AI. Ruggero, representing the applicant, stated that this application is in keeping
with the intent of the Official Plan and the staff at the Region have indicated as
much. Frontage is not the only criteria to be considered in this application,
however, the frontage is appropriate because there are other 15 metre lots in the
area and 15 and 18 metre lots work well together. He noted that two lots will be
created each of which will be in excess of 900 square metres. He will work with
the Planning staff to ensure that building on the newly created lots will be in
conformity with the existing neighbourhood.
3. Jim Haddlesey, 320 Fiddlers Court, stated that he has submitted a petition from the
residents of Fiddlers Court and Tomlinsons Court opposing this application.
4. Maurice Brenner, representing the area residents, stated that the approval of newly
created lots on Fiddlers Court will also impact on Rougemount Drive because it
will set a precedent for development on that road. The proposed severance has the
potential of creating small lots that will provide for buildings that are not in
conformity with the existing neighbourhood.
'-"
5.
AI. Ruggero, representing the applicant, stated that each application must be judged
on its own merit and any future severances on Rougemount Drive must be
considered separately.
6. John Silva, 329 Fiddlers Court, stated that he paid a bonus for his property and
does not want to see small lots being created that will not be in conformity with
the existing neighbourhood.
7. Jim Haddlesey, 320 Fiddlers Court, stated that the east side of Fiddlers Court is
heavily wooded and the creation of these two lots plus other severances will lead
to the trees being destroyed.
8. Maria Graefe, 1408 Rougemount Drive, stated that when the Fiddlers Court
development was being considered, the Town agreed that there would only be five
50 foot lots fronting onto Fiddlers Court.

out from the subject lands for six years and have always been for the sale of
agricultural goods. The applicants to dot intend to start a "flea market" operation
on the subject property. The applicants have a large farm operation and the sale of
livestock is in addition to this. He is not aware of any parking problems when the
