789/78, to permit a retail sales outlet accessory to a warehouse use, not
exceeding 170 square metres and a minimum of 124 parking spaces; whereas

vestibule and mezzanine additions.

City of Pickering City Development Department recommending approval subject
to conditions. Written comments were received from Dawn Mitchell, Property
Manager, of 1815 Ironstone Manor in objection to the application. Written
comments were also received from the City's Economic Development in support
of the requested variance and indicated that seasonal peak uses of the retail
sales outlet is more likely to occur during off hours, which may not create any
traffic or parking issues on.or around the site.
Correspondence received from Dawn Mitchell indicates the proposal will reduce
the required parking spaces by approximately 30 percent, the existing parking
spaces close to the retail sales outlet are insufficient and may encourage
customers to park on the street and the increased pedestrian, automobile and
commercial vehicle traffic may cause additional traffic congestion and obstruct
emergency response.
John Owen, agent, was present to represent the application. No further
representation was present in favour of or in objection to the application.
John Owen provided a site plan and floor plan for the Committee Members to
review; he also explained the location of the proposed addition. In response to a
question from a Committee Member, John Owen indicated parking will be
contained on -site as there will be approximately 40 to 50 surplus parking spaces
at any one given time.
