The following issues must be reviewed in greater detail prior to preparing a recommendation report for Council's consideration: the parking demand for the proposed uses must be examined; the traffic impacts both on-site and off-site must be reviewed with the intent to determine what traffic improvements may be necessary as a result of the Information Report No. 27-02 Page 3 proposed uses which will be evaluated through the preparation and submission of a required traffic assessment report; further review is required to determine if restrictions on the proposed uses may be required, such as maximum unit sizes, or maximum aggregate floor areas for certain uses; the applicant's proposal for a loose surface treatment for the parking area would be difficult to demarcate parking spaces which would not facilitate appropriate on-site traffic movements; due to the location and visibility of the subject lands and the proposed building locations, a high level of architectural treatment for the development will be required; a more detailed review of the existing wetland complex with the intent to determine its boundaries and the establishment of an appropriate buffer from development activity on-site; the proposed vehicular access points will require further review in consultation with the Region of Durham; the servicing of the proposed development will require further review. 5.0 PROCEDURAL INFORMATION written comments regarding this proposal should be directed to the Planning & Development Department; oral comments may be made at the Public Information Meeting; all comments received will be noted and used as input in a Planning Report prepared by the Planning & Development Department for a subsequent meeting of Council or a Committee of Council; if you wish to reserve the option to appeal Council's decision, you must provide comments to the City before Council adopts any by-law for this proposal; if you wish to be notified of Council's decision regarding this proposal, you must request such in writing to the City Clerk. 6.0 OTHER INFORMATION 6.1 Appendix No. 1 - list of neighbourhood residents, community associations, agencies and City Departments that have commented on the applications at the time of writing report. 6.2 Information Received - full scale copies of the Applicant's submitted plan are available for viewing at the offices of the City of Pickering Planning & Development Department; - the applicant has submitted a phase 1 site assessment report in support of the application. 6.3 Company Principal - applicant advises that the principal of 591658 Ontario Limited is Mr. Frank Spain.
