Cot on behalf of A. & N. Ford. That the amending zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 12/04, as set out in Appendix I to Report PD 17-05, be FORWARDED to City Council for enactment. Executive Summary: The subject property, which currently supports a detached dwelling, is located on the northeast corner of Altona Road and Rougemount Drive in the Rougemount Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The subject property is surrounded by similar detached residential developments and Elizabeth B. Phin Public School to the south across Rougemount Drive. The applicant requests to rezone the subject property from "R3" to "R4" to facilitate severance applications for four lots fronting Rougemount Drive, each with minimum frontage of 15.0 metres (see Applicant's Submitted Plan, Attachment #2). The proposal represents appropriate development that is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood, conforms to the Pickering Official Plan, and does not impose adverse impacts on the local traffic or the safety of children. It is recommended that this application be approved and the draft by-law be forwarded to Council for enactment. Financial Implications: proposed development. No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the Report PD 17-05 Subject: A. & N. Ford (A 12/04) Date: May 6, 2005 Page 2 Background: 1.0 Comments Received 1.1 Before and at the November 18, 2004 Information Meeting (see text of Information Report and Meeting Minutes, Attachments #3 & #4) adjacent property owner to the north (1469 Altona Road) property owners on the east side of Altona Road north of the subject property (1469 - 1495 Altona Road) concerned about children's safety, number of new driveways, drainage, damage of trees, septic system, etc.; concerned about children's safety, loss of potential rear lot development of their properties; 1.2 1.3 Following the Information Meeting residents on the east side of Altona Road north of Rougemount Drive continued to express opposition to this application and propose that a municipal road be introduced through the subject lands to the rear of their properties (see Residents' Proposal, Attachment # 6); City staff and City Councillor - Ward 1 met with area residents at various meetings to discuss the development potential of the area- staff has determined that a municipal road on the subject property is neither required or appropriate; City Department and Agency Comments Fire Services Development Control Veridian Connections Regional Municipality of Durham Durham District School Board no objections; no objections (see Attachment #8); the submitted noise study and grading plan is satisfactory; a tree preservation plan will be required through severance applications; no objections (see Attachment #9); no objections, but a noise study will be required to address noise impacts from Altona Road when land severances applications are submitted (see Attachment #10); no objections (see Attachment #11 ). Report PD 17-05 Subject: A. & N. Ford (A 12/04) Date: May 6, 2005 Page 3 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 Discussion Residents' request for the introduction of a road through the subject property is not supported Residents' request for an alternative development pattern to further develop the rear of their properties was considered by staff. Residents on the east side of Altona Road north of the subject property proposed that a new municipal road be introduced through the subject property to facilitate future development of their properties (see Attachment #6). Municipal Property & Engineering does not support a municipal road at this location due to its proximity to the intersection of Altona Road/Rougemount Drive and the existing entrances to Elizabeth B. Phin Public School (see Attachment #7). Planning staff has advised the residents that the best opportunity to further develop their properties is through land assembly with a private road to provide access from Altona Road, Sheppard Avenue, or further east on Rougemount Drive. Residents' concerns have been addressed The adjacent property owners to the north expressed concerns respecting possible adverse impacts that the proposed development might have on their property, such as drainage, trees, septic system, and the height of the dwellings (see Attachment #5). A preliminary grading and drainage plan in conjunction with a noise study was required. Development Control Staff advise that the plans and study are satisfactory. The noise study recommends a noise attenuation fence along a portion of the north and west lot lines of the proposed corner lot. Some tree removal is needed to construct the fence and a tree preservation plan will be required at the land severance stage. To address building height concern, it is recommended that a maximum height restriction of 9.0 metres be included in the amending by-law (see Appendix I- Draft Implementing By-law). The proposed development is compatible with existing developments The subject property is surrounded by detached dwellings. Compatibility can be addressed through imposing similar zoning standards in the amending by-law (see Appendix I - Draft Implementing By-law). Lot Frontage City Council has approved lot frontages of 15.0 metres on properties along Rougemount Drive over the past several years. The introduction of 15.0 metre lot frontages has occurred without negatively impacting the streetscape or character of the neighbourhood. Dwellinq Height & Garaqe Projection The zoning on the properties east of the subject lands establishes a maximum building height of 9.0 metres and a maximum garage projection of 2.0 metres. In order to keep a cohesive streetscape, it is recommended that the amending by-law include these same restrictions, in addition to the typical "R4" zoning requirements. Report PD 17-05 Subject: A. & N. Ford (A 12/04) Date: May 6, 2005 Page 4 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 Flanka.qe Side Yard Width The applicant desires to construct a porch attached to the flankage side (facing Altona Road) of the dwelling on the proposed corner lot. It is recommended that the amending by-law allow a maximum of 1.5 metre porch projection into the required flankage side yard width to incorporate the design of the porch. This provision is the same standard applied to the properties across Altona Road (e.g. southwest and northwest corner of Altona Road/Littleford Street). No adverse impact is anticipated on the functioning of Elizabeth B. Pin Public School or the safety of the students The existing sidewalk extends along the south side of Rougemount Drive. Therefore, the new driveways on the proposed four lots would not interfere with the existing sidewalk system. Durham District School Board expressed no concern about the safety and the drop-off and pick-up of the students attending Elizabeth B. Pin Public School. No adverse impact is anticipated on the functioning of the traffic calming islands or the local traffic One of the existing traffic calming measures on Rougemount Drive is located at the east end of the subject property, but it does not jeopardize the applicant's proposal. City traffic staff do not anticipate any adverse impact on local traffic as a result of four lots being developed. All development issues concerning the City will be addressed through proper zoning standards and conditions of land severance approval Through the submission of severance applications LD96/05 to LD98/05, the applicant proposes to sever the subject property for the development of four detached dwellings fronting Rougemount Drive. To ensure appropriate development of the proposed lots, all requirements of the City will be included as conditions of approval for the land severance applications. One condition will be that the associated rezoning application be approved and amending zoning by-law be enacted. Other conditions will address matters such as, but not limited to, grading and drainage, reserve along Altona road frontage, noise attenuation, utilities, architectural design, tree preservation, parkland dedication, driveway location, service connections, securities and costs sharing. The City's interests can be appropriately addressed and protected through the amending by-law and the conditions of land severance approval. By-law to be forwarded to Council The attached by-law, included as Appendix I to this report, implements staff's recommendation to approve the requested "R4" residential zoning with additional requirements on building height, garage projection, and flankage side yard width. It is recommended that the attached by-law be forwarded to Council for enactment. Report PD 17-05 Subject: A. & N.

The Principal Planner, Development Review, provided an overview of the requirements of the Planning Act and the Ontario Municipal Board respecting this meeting and matters under consideration there at. ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION A 12/04 ALAN & NANCY FORD 1465 ALTONA ROAD PART OF LOT 33, PLAN 228 o Joyce Yeh, Planner I, provided an overview of property location, applicant's proposal and City's official plan policies pertaining to this site, as outlined in Information Report #17/04. Igor Cot, Ascot Homes, agent for applicant, advised that he was present to answer questions. Lorne Hewie, 1471 & 1469 Altona Road, directly north of the proposed development, advised that these homes will back onto his property seriously affecting his privacy. The height, drainage, closeness to school, affect on children and the construction affecting the roots of 70 year old trees are of concern. He suggested that the homes be bungalows and the road be put through. Deborah Hewie, 1471 Altona Road, does not feel that the existing homeowners were given consideration when this development was being planned. She stated her concern with being restricted and unable to develop their own land. She requested that this plan be denied. Jim Callan, 1483 Altona Road, requested time to discuss this application with the developer either in a formal or informal meeting and look for a way to reduce the strain on Altona Road. Ronald Eaton, 1475 AItona Road, advised that he owns a large lot and is concerned that it will be landlocked and, therefore, unable to be developed. Bob Gummow, 121 Twyn Rivers Drive, questioned if Altona Road will be widened and has part of lot one been given to the Region of Durham for the planned widening. This is not the area for high density nor for four new driveways so close to the school. He stated that three of the lots are below the square metre requirement and do not conform to the current R3 zone. He questioned why the neighbourhood is being desecrated for someone to make more money. I:'ICKERING :,':,. Pa !...'Z_%.~.__. Excerpts from Statutory Public Information Meeting Thursday, November 18, 2004 7:00 P.M. Joyce Yeh, Planner I, responded to Mr. Gummow by advising that the Region of Durham intends to double the width of Altona Road as well as install a sidewalk. She further advised that she observed the traffic at the school, which did not appear to be a problem but she is still waiting for the report from traffic staff. o Marianne Callan, 1483 Altona Road, responded to Joyce's comments on traffic by advising that parents were advised to avoid the traffic circle in front of the school due to traffic concerns and that new lights have been installed and the crossing guard is still required. She stated her desire for everyone to work together to develop these lands appropriately. 10. Igor Cot, Ascot Homes, agent for applicant, advised that his clients are looking to improve the area and conform with what has already been built and also to save and preserve the trees. -1- 11/16/200~ 12:~8 Millpond Graphics Inc. 52 West Beaver Creek Road Suite 4 Richmond Hill Ontario UZ~B IL9 Tel.

New homes would then NOT have any driveways directly offRougemount or Altona Road. Fences could be built on the east side of Altona controlling pedestrian traffic and possibly surpressing traffic noise. -also, w/th two public schools within very close proximity to this area, possibly some smaller "starter" style homes could be part of the development mix. This would allow for some low to mid income families to walk their children safely to school, rather than adding to the traffic conjestion already in the area. This might mean some partial rezoning from low density to mid density. It also would mean more property tax revenues for the City of Pickering.

Eng. Division Head, Municipal Property & Engineering Subject: Zoning By-Law Amendment Application A12/04 Consideration for Municipal Road Rougemount Drive City of Pickering The Municipal Property & Engineering Division has been requested to review the above noted zoning by-law amendment application to create four building lots with frontage onto a proposed municipal road through the center of the subject property. Although this is not the applicants suggested patterning, apparently the surrounding landowners have requested comments on its feasibility. The Municipal Property & Engineering Division does not support the introduction of a municipal road through the subject property for the following reasons. 1) The centerline of the proposed road would be only 33 metres east of the Altona Road at Rougemount Drive intersection, and would not meet minimum spacing requirements for a Regional intersection. 2) The location of the road, directly across from the elementary school introduces many potential vehicular/pedestrian conflicts that are not desirable. 3) Traffic volumes and patterns, especially during am and pm school peak periods would result in a blocked intersection causing delays to users of the proposed road and general congestion in the vicinity. 4) The existence of the traffic calming measures on Rougemount Drive is far enough to the east end of the property such that it does not create an impact on either the applicant's proposal or the suggested road.

The application proposes to rezone the subject property to facilitate the creation of four residential lots with minimum lot frontages of 15 metres. Durham Re.clional Official Plan The subject lands are designated "Living Area" in the Durham Regional Official Plan. Lands within this designation are to be used predominantly for housing purposes. The proposal would be permitted by the policies of the Durham Regional Official Plan. The subject lands are adjacent to Altona Road (Regional Road No. 27), which is deSignated as a Type B arterial road and is to be designed to have a right-of-way width ranging from 30 to 36 metres. Municipal Servicinq Municipal water supply and sanitary sewer are available.to service the property. Requirements' respecting the provision of Regional services for the proposed development, financial and otherwise, will be addressed through related land division applications.. Provincial Plan Review Responsibilities The application has been screened .in accordance with the provincial plan review responsibilities. Due to the property's location adjacent to Altona Road, a noise study prepared by a qualified consultant will be 100% Post Consumer page 2 required to address noise impacts from road traffic on the proposed residential uses. This stUdy may be submitted for Regional review through the related land division applications. No further provincial interests appear to be affected by the proposal.

D DEC ! 5 200/-; CiTY OF PICKERING PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RE: Zoning By-law Amendment A12/04 1465 Altona Road CiW of Picketing Staff is in receipt of your letter dated December 2, 2004 regarding the above noted Zoning By-law amendment and your concerns regarding the traffic that the creation fora' homes may have. Currently, there are 2 vans and 3 school buses accessing the site in the morning and afternoon. The pupils that live in the immediate area of the school are "walk" pupils. However, we are aware that many pupils are driven to and fi'om school, causing the congestion that occurs around many schools. Most of our elementary schools are located in areas with homes surrounding the site and with homes located directly across the road from the fi'ont of the school. There can be as many as 10 homes and driveways located directly across from the front of a school. Through school organized "Kiss and Ride" programs and consideration of those driving pupils to and f?om school., the flow of the traffic can be maintained. Many of our schools utilize the Durham Region Police to assist in the creation of the "Kiss and Ride" prograrns to help alleviate or reduce traffic congestion. As Rougemount Drive is a local road, maintained by the City, the City of ?ickering will determine if the location of 4 residential driveways on the street is acceptable, and meets all transportation guidelines. The Durham District School Board will not be objecting to the subject Zoning By-law amendment. Yours truly, Christine Nancekivell Planner C. C.
