Thesc issues arc explained as follows: 2,1 Sitine Massine nnd Genernl Appeurnnce of the Proposcd Two Dwcllinp Units Metropolitnn 'Coronto Flabitnt for Humnnity originally proposed to construct two dwcllings on the subject property which were nitached below•grndc only, ond which wcre completely vinyl clad, with nttached cnrports. Although thc proposcd dwcllings wouid hnvc fully complied with the Town's mning by-laws, aren residents werc conccmed that thc small size of the two scpnratc dwellings, their irtegular siting neccssitated by thc configuration of the subjcct property, thcir use of carports, and their fully vinyl clnd dcsign, would appcar out of character with the estublished surtounding neighbourhood. Most surtounding dwcllings, though uttnched bclow gradc, nrc relutively Inrger thnn ihosc originnlly proposcd on thc subject Innds, und combine brick nnJ vinyl cindding, with attachcd gnragcs. Aticr much discussion, it wos suggestcd thnt, if thc proposed hvo dwcllings wcrc attached abovc•grade by a fuil common wull (iroditional semi-dctached design), the resultunt mass of the structure waulJ be morc in keeping with thc mnssing of the surrounding dwellings on Dunn Cresccnt. This dcsign would nlso cnablc thc cnlire struclurc lo bc oricnled in n manncr which fits within thc configuralion of thc praperty anJ slill maintnin n cohesivc streelscape. Habitnt for Humaniry docs nol t}�pically consiruct gumgcs with Ihc homcs it builds, for reasons of design, cost, and ense of construction. I lo��•ever, lhe surcoimding residents were vcry much opposed to cumorls bccausc thcy ��ould uppcnr out of chnmctcr with thc neighbourhood, and could bccomc cyc•snres duc to extensivc storagc of houscholJ items in full vicw of thc strce6 Il was agrecd how�cvcr, that if no carports or garngcs wcrc conswctcJ, an cnhnnccd building dcsign could bc nchicvcd which would improvc Ihc oppearnnce oF thc semi•detuched dwcllings Gom the slrcel. This cnhanccd builcling dcsign included unobslructed front windows nnd cntrances, with brick dudding uround the front and sides of the first storey, and vinyl clndding on the second storcy. As thc applica6lc zoning by-law rcquircd that dwcllings bc attnchcd bclow gradc only, and thnt each dwelling have nn nuached gnrngc or carport, Habitat for Ilumaniry suUmitted Minor Vurinnce Application P/CA SO/9810 allow the subjccl property lo be dcveloped for a pair of trnditional semi-detnchcd dwcllings attnched above grade by a common wnll, nnd to delele the requircment for uuached gamges or carports. This Minor Vurinncc Application was approved by thc Commiltec of Adjustment on December 22, 1998, with ihe full concurrence of thc To�m's Planning Dcpartmcnt nnd thc Community Working Group.

Metropolitnn Toronto Hubitnt for Humuniry has nuw submitted revised siting and architectural design plans for the construction of n pnir of tmditionnl semi•dctachcd dwellings on the subject property in n form which rc(lects thc ngrced upon methods of addrcssing the ncighbourhood concems. These plans arc included as Attnchments N2 and N3 to this rcport, and arc to be spccificnlly referenced in the siting und architcetuml dcsign requiremcnts scction of tlie revised development agrcement. 2.2 Scrvicine.

Hebitat for Humenity has agreed to this, nnd thc requircment for installntion of a new street light to the Town's satisfaction, and at Hauitnt for Humanity's expense, is to be included in the revised development agreement. The revised development agreement will also require that grading, servicing, nnd dminage plens be completed to the Town's sutisfaction. Hubitet for Humanity is currently working wiGi the Town's Public Works DeparUnent to achieve a grading, servicing, und d�ainnge plen that wili incorporate rear yard catch bnsins, thereby minimizing gmding difTcrentials between the subject propeRy and the adjacenl propeRy to lhe norlh. 2.3 Noise Atlenuation It was clarified with the Communiry Working Group that Metropolitnn Toronto Hnbiwt for Humenity would be required to sntisfy ihe Canudian Nutional Railway with rcspcct to noisc attenuation measures ucross the rcar of ihc subjcct proparty, These mcusures are expectcd to be an extension of ihe bertn und noise attenuntion fencc which exist on rcsidentinl properties immedintely to the north (a bemi alrcndy cxists on the subject property). The rcvised development agrccment will include u provision rcquiring Metropolitnn Toronto Hnbiwt for Humanity to submit a design for uny rcquircd fcncing for ihc approvnl of the Director of Plenning, along with written approval for such swcturc from thc Cnnndinn Nationul Railwny.
