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-- "-' (ll) ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION A 15/94 WALNUT GROVE PLAZA INC.

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. ..., --3-- '-' (IV) ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION A 12/93 S. & D.
