1062 Dunbarton Rd
Pickering On L 1 V 1 G8
June 3, 2006
Mr. Rick Cefaratti
Planner II
City Of Pickering
One The Esplanade
Pickering ON L 1 V 6K7
Dear Mr. Cefaratti,
Re: Zoning By-Law Amendment App -A 05/06
We are residents of the neighbourhood and are adamantly opposed to the proposed
zoning by-law amendment A05/06.
The CNR rail line is a "natural" and logical dividing line between commercial and
residential interests. Encroachment into residential neighbourhood is inappropriate.
To permit the rezoning and allow commercial enterprises reflects negatively on the
reputation of the City. A rezoning decision borders on "deceitful" and misrepresentative
to the families who just recently purchased new home immediately to the east of the
property in question.
Traffic on Fairport and Dunbarton is already excessive. Additional traffic noise decreases
enjoyment of residential property, increases 'noise" and increases safety concerns.
The intersections of both Old Sheppard Rd, where it meets Fairport, and Dunbarton
where it meets Fairport are becoming increasingly dangerous due to increased vehicle
traffic. At rush hours it is difficult to enter Fairport from either Dunbarton or Old
Sheppard. Individuals are forced to nudge into oncoming traffic or accelerate dangerously
across the path of on-coming traffic. This is becoming increasingly dangerous, as more
and more people use Old Sheppard as an alternate route to Kingston Rd (to avoid three
sets of traffic lights).
The intersection of Old Sheppard and Fairport will become more dangerous as the full
impact of the additional traffic resulting from the new car dealership which also enters
onto Fairport immediately across from Old Sheppard increases, with the full opening and
operation of the car dealerships.
" 1 n
,')

n,1'!~nr.::'¡"'l'.Ti,",M ""'::~RT.u DB '" c:(/)
,,~"\'I; \Yi'nsOrí t"I "t...í'~~ {t\[..iiV 'W.
The proposed retail commercial site will eventually have a retail walk-by pedestrian
clientele. Ifnot initially then eventually. The worse example would be a retail variety
store. Due to its location virtually all pedestrian traffic would have to cross either
Dunbarton or Fairport roads to access it. Current traffic levels require considerable
caution. Increased traffic augments this problem, especially if it eventually becomes a
commercial enterprise attracting children,
Without knowing the specific tenants, parking could also become a problem. A good
example of inadequate parking facilities is the medical clinic on the northeast comer of
Whites Road and Old Sheppard. Clients of the Clinic are required to park on both sides
of the street and extremely close to the intersection/traffic lights. This is both dangerous
and an irritation, to say the least, to the residents of Old Sheppard. It is conceivable and
probably quite likely that street parking will increase, regardless of number of planned
parking spaces. Similarly, this will be both dangerous and a nuisance to our neighbours.
In summary, we believe approval of the rezoning application would be detrimental to the
Dunbarton neighbourhood and its residents.
Please accept this as our request to be notified of any updates with respect to this
application.
Yours sincerely,
Boyd & Nancy Penny
