Brian Halverson, representing the Altona West Community Association, stated that he does not support this application because the existing homes on Valley View Road and Senator Street have 45 to fifty foot frontages with two car garages. The proposed development will not be in character with the existing neighbourhood because the lot frontages will be much smaller and some homes will not have two car garages.

Harold Webster, 510 Pine Ridge Road, stated that he has a petition objecting to this application. He asked if the Rosebank Development Plan has been approved by Council and was informed that it was approved but that a Development Plan is not a zoning by-law or Official Plan. He asked what bearing the Design Precinct in the Development Plan has on this application and was informed that proposals must conform to the Design Precinct. He asked if the zoning will be changed contrary to the wishes of the residents and was informed that the staff have no comment on this. He noted that staff has commented that consideration should be given to changing the zoning from R3 to R4 and that this is contrary to the wishes of the residents. He was only recently informed that lands to the north of the subject lands have been zoned R4 but he was not informed of this and will be looking into it. He noted that people who support this application are not affected by the zoning change. Ann Wood, 461 Rougemount Drive, stated that she lives to the south of the subject lands and cannot comment on this application until she knows how the land will be severed. Agnes Ruzsa, representing the applicant, stated that she wants to live in the neighbourhood on one of the proposed severed lots. If this zoning is approved, it will provide for frontage of 54 1/2 feet for the two lots which is only 5 1/2 feet less than what is allowed by the present zoning. She noted that opposition to this proposal comes from some people who are currently living on 50 foot lots. This application will not set a precedent because a precedent has already been set. She noted that applications that have been refused in the past were on the west side of Rougemount Drive or Pine Ridge Road next to the ravine. She is proposing to construct a typical house of 2,500 to 3,000 square feet on each lot and the setback would be in character with the present neighbourhood. 5. ~ 6. 7. 8. 9.

Ann Wood, 461 Rougemount Drive, stated that the intersection of Woodgrange Avenue and Rougemount Drive should be looked at to determine the character of the neighbourhood. Agnes Ruzsa, representing the applicant, stated that most people who support the application are the immediate neighbours and the people opposing it live further away. She stated that she could build a house on the present lot that is the same as one built on a 54 foot lot. She noted that a land owner across from may divide his property into three 60 foot lots. Harold Webster, 510 Pine Ridge Road, stated that the people who want to sever their property do so for monetary purposes. People are waiting to see what will happen with this application and asked staff to note that this is a unique area.
