this area because of the greenbelt and felt that the development would increase
the traffic and create more problems for the area.
S. Tayyeb, 2520 Tillings Road appeared before the Committee representing his
mother, Husna Tayyeb the owner of the property. He noted that they have had
numerous trespassing problems with the developers. He stated that he has had
to call the police and also had his solicitor contact the City Solicitor to put a stop
to the trespassing. He stated that trees had been cut down, bulldozers on more
then one occasion had blocked entrance to their driveway and numerous holes
had been dug in the area to gather soil samples. He stated that at one time his
mother had been approached about selling her property but that was the only
communication she had from the developers, no one contacted her further in this
regard. He stated that they were frustrated with the lack of communication and
outraged at the trespassing on their property. The Tayyeb family is in opposition
to the Duffin Heights development, the greenbelt designation and the adverse
effect it has and plan to challenge it through legal action.

Ashley Yearwood, Planner I, gave an overview of zoning amendment
application A 26/08.
Grant Morris, Planning Consultant for the owner appeared before the
Committee in support of the application. Mr. Morris noted that when the owner
purchased the property he thought he could rezone the property to allow for the
Pizza restaurant but just recently was advised by the Conservation Authority
that the floodplain boundaries had been changed and they would not support
the application. Mr. Morris noted that the owner was in discussions with the
Conservation Authority.
Doug Howard, 1775 Storrington Street appeared before the Committee in
opposition to the commercial zoning and felt that it should remain residential.
He stated that his concerns regarding commercial zoning allowing for a
restaurant would bring food odours to the area, created more garbage which
would attract wildlife or rodents. He questioned what would happen if the pizza
restaurant did not work, what use would come next. Mr. Howard also felt that
this use would put additional strain and damage on the creek which was next to
the property.
Mary Aroukatos the representative for Nancy and Betty Aroukatos, owners of
1222 Kingston Road appeared before the Committee with concerns regarding
the rezoning. She stated that her clients felt that the driveway should not be
moved and noted that there were a number of mature trees along the property
line that should be protected. She stated that they felt once commercial zoning
was allowed then it would just continue to grow in this area. Ms. Aroukatos
also noted the heavy traffic in the area and felt this type of zoning would make
it worse and also noted that there had been flooding problems on the property
and that the grading should be looked at. Ms. Aroukatos noted that if this is
what the City is planning for this area then they should follow the same type of
concept that they planned at the bottom of Liverpool Road where the
commercial units closed early in the evening. She also stated that they
definitely did not want a patio to be allowed. Written submission was received
in the Clerk's Division on April 6th regarding their concerns.
Paul Newman, 1769 Storrington Street appeared before the Committee and
noted his opposition to the Pizza Restaurant for the property. He stated that he
is not opposed to the commercial zoning but it should be office type uses and
not food or drinking type uses. Mr. Newman stated that when rezoning this
area consideration should be given to the surrounding residential component.
