Trapper and B. Trapper 491 Rosebank Road and 546 Gillmoss Road (Part of Blocks K, L and M, Plan 418) City of Pickering Recommendation: That Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 submitted by Land Pro Engineering, on behalf of W. & N. Trapper and B. Trapper to permit a residential plan of subdivision on lands being Part of Blocks K, L and M, Plan 418 as shown on Attachment #4, to Report PD 06-1.0, be endorsed; 2. That the proposed conditions of draft plan approval to implement Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 as set out in Appendix I to Report PD 06-10, be endorsed; 3. That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 2/08 submitted by Land Pro Engineering, to amend the zoning on lands being Part of Blocks K, L and M, Plan 418 to implement Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 as outlined in Appendix II to Report PD 06-10 be endorsed; 4. That an exception to the Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines — Precinct 3, to allow for minimum lot frontages of 11.0 metres for single detached dwellings to implement Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02, be endorsed as set out on Appendix III and; 5. That an Informational Revision be processed to the City of Pickering Official Plan Rosebank Neighbourhood Map (Map 11, Edition 5) to add a street connection from Gillmoss Road to Cowan Circle as shown on Appendix IV, Executive Summary: The applicant's initial proposal was to amend the existing "RY zoning to allow for the creation of 40 detached dwellings with lot frontages ranging from 11.0 metres to approximately 14.0 metres. The proposal also completed the road connection of Cowan Circle and created a permanent cul-de-sac extending south from Cowan Circle (see Applicant's Submitted Plan, Attachment #2). Report PD 06710 March 1, 2010 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 28 Zoning Amendment Application A 2/08 Page 2 After receiving agency and public comments and attending two resident meetings, the applicant amended the proposal by: reducing the number of lots for detached dwellings from 40 to 34; increasing frontages for lots close to Rosebank Road; creating a temporary cul-de-sac extending south from Cowan Circle, (with the opportunity for a future connection to Gillmoss Road); and adding a neighbourhood tot lot/parkette behind lots 6 to 8 (see Location Map and Applicant's Final Plan, Attachments 1 &.4). Staff have evaluated the Applicant's Final Plan and considered resident and agency comments. Staff supports the Applicant's Final Plan with the deletion of the tot lot and the securement of a block for the future extension/connection of Gillmoss Road (see Staff Recommended Plan, Attachment #5). Development of the lands as proposed represents an .infill situation and provides for the completion of the internal road network which meets the intent of the Rosebank Neighbourhood Plan. A revision to the Rosebank Neighbourhood Map is required to reflect a connection of a new street with Cowan Circle. The Staff Recommended Plan addresses proper road and pedestrian connections and provides a lotting pattern and lot frontages that allows for the development of a housing form that is in character with the existing neighbourhood, and in compliance with the City's Official Plan Policies. It is recommended that the Staff Recommended Plan be endorsed by Council, and that an exemption to the Rosebank Development Design Guidelines, to permit 11.0 metre lot frontages for single detached dwellings within the boundaries of the draft plan of subdivision, be approved. The City's requirements respecting development of'the subject property will be addressed through conditions of Draft Plan of Subdivision Approval and site -specific zoning provisions. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed recommendation. Sustainability Implications: Staffs review of the plan of subdivision is that it does not achieve Level 1 of the City's Sustainable Development Guidelines. However, due to the infill nature of the project and the need to respect the character of the existing neighbourhood there is limited opportunity to achieve Level 1. The proposal does offer sustainable elements in that it significantly increases the density of existing underdeveloped large lots, and further implements the general intent of the tertiary road structure identified for this area in the Rosebank Neighbourhood Plan. The proposed development will take advantage of existing infrastructure within the City's urban area and will provide improved road and sidewalk connectivity, access points for emergency response vehicles and access to public transit. Report PD 06-10 March 1, 2010 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 Zoning Amendment Application A 2/08 Page 3 9 Further opportunities exist for the builder to consider sustainable options during the building permit process. The applicant may not necessarily be the builder. Background: 1.0 Introduction In spring 2007 the applicant pre -consulted with the City and the Region of Durham Planning Departments to discuss future redevelopment opportunities for 491 Rosebank Road and 546 Gillmoss Road. City Staff advised that the Official Plan designates the properties as "Urban Residential - Low Density Area" which allows a maximum density of 30 units per net hectare, and that the existing zoning permits single detached dwellings on lots with a minimum lot frontage of 18.0 metres. The applicant was also advised of the Rosebank Neighbourhood Official Plan policies and the Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. The applicant submitted a rezoning and draft plan of subdivision application on December 12, 2007 to permit the development of 40 single detached dwelling units on lots with frontages ranging from 11.0 metres to approximately 14.0 metres. After considering Staff, resident and agency comments received as a result of the circulation of the applications, the statutory public information meeting and two neighbourhood resident working group meetings, the applicant revised the submitted draft plan to propose the development of 34 single detached dwelling units on lots with frontages ranging from 11.0 metres to approximately 14.0 metres. Staff comments contained in this report pertains to the applicant's final revised plan and address issues respecting: neighbourhood character compatibility, future road connections, tree preservation, traffic, sewer capacity, noise attenuation, and other matters raised through the consideration of the applications. 2.0 Comments Received 2.1 Prior to the Information Meeting (see Information Report, Attachment #8) On February 20, 2008, Planning staff was invited to a Neighbourhood Resident's Meeting with the South Rosebank Working Group. Area residents and other interest groups expressed concerns pertaining to: the environment (i.e. the status of existing plant and animal species within the area), the Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station (SSPS) upgrade, increased traffic, size of lot frontages and resulting built form, access of construction vehicles, timing of construction, sustainable design and sufficiency of electrical service. Report PD 06-10 March 1, 2010 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 30 Zoning Amendment Application A 2/08 Page 4 2.2 At the March 3, 2008 Information Meeting (see Meeting Minutes, Attachment #9) Land Pro Engineering presented a revised plan consisting of 36 lots (reduced from the original 40 lots) with a proposed tot lot in the northeast sector of the plan (see Applicant's Revised Plan, Attachment #3). Further, to address Canadian National Railway (CN Rail) requirements restricting residential development within 30 metres of a railway right-of-way, a revision to the road pattern was also proposed. Several area residents (including members from the South Rosebank Working Group) spoke at the Information Meeting and raised questions/concerns pertaining to: lack of consistency with the Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines and neighbourhood character; impact on the environment, services, schools and traffic caused by proposed development; status of the Rosebank SSPS upgrade; and proposed road patterns. 2.3 Following the Information Meeting (see Attachment #10) One comment was received from the public following the Information Meeting: Doreen Brown (475 Oakwood Drive) - does not support applicant's proposal to amend the zoning by-law and draft plan of subdivision; - proposed lot frontages are not acceptable; - concerned with increased traffic with proposed subdivision and "The Milton Road Subdivision" (on the west side of Rosebank Road) and safety of school children during rush hours; - concerned with: the status of the Rosebank SSPS; sufficiency of hydro; and protection of environmental features. 2.4 South Rosebank Working Group Meeting (January 19, 2010) a resident meeting was held on January 19, 2010 with the City and Regional Ward Councillors, Planning staff and the applicant to discuss the Planning & Development's position on the application prior to the applications being considered by Planning & Development Committee; area residents voiced concern regarding: o proposed lot frontages along Cowan Circle; o loss of animal habitat and increased train noise from CN Rail with the removal of existing vegetation; o increased traffic; o future development to be coordinated with the completion of the rebuilt Rosebank Sanitary Sewer Pumping Station; Report PD 06-10 March 1, 2010 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 Zoning Amendment Application A 2/08 Page 5 3 the Ward 1 Regional Councilor organized a site walk with area residents, TRCA and City staff on February 2, 2010 to discuss the protection/preservation of existing trees within the subdivision boundaries and the opportunity to extend a noise attenuation fence along the full-length of the plan's eastern boundary, adjacent to the CN Rail right-of-way; residents requested City staff to consider both additional tree preservation and noise attenuation fencing prior to the registration of the plan of submission or building permit submission. 2.5 City Department and Agency Comments (see Information Report, Attachment #8) Region of Durham Planning & Works (Letters and Emails Dated March 12, 2008, April 28, 2008, May 21, 2008, June 20, 2008, and January 29, 2009) (see Attachments #11 to #15) March 21, 2008 - property is predominantly designated "Living Area", in the Regional Official Plan, which shall be used predominately for housing purposes; - the eastern portion of the property is designated as a Key Natural Heritage Feature (KNHF); - an Environmental Impact Study is required to determine boundaries of the KNHF and its minimum vegetation protection zone (March 12, 2008); - an acoustic report is required to address noise attenuation measures from the CN Rail; - due to the site's close proximity to the Rouge River and Petticoat Creek, an archaeological assessment should also be submitted and would be included as a condition of draft approval. April 28, 2008 - Municipal Water Supply and Sanitary Sewers can be provided to the proposed residential subdivision; - sanitary sewers within the proposed subdivision will discharge to the Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station (SSPS) on Rodd Avenue; - a Class Environmental Assessment is currently being conducted by the Region of Durham for upgrades at the pumping station and forcemain; - the existing facility occasionally experiences failures due to age and poor condition of mechanical, electrical and structural components; - the Region of Durham plans to replace the Rosebank SSPS in 2009-2010, pending Regional Council approval for budget funding; the Region would prefer to coordinate the proposed building permit approvals of the development with the City of Pickering, to closely match the completion of the upgraded Rosebank SSPS and minimize sewage flow and risk of failures (April 28, 2008). Report PD 06-10 March 1, 2010 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 Zoning Amendment Application A 2/08 Page 6 32 Other Comments no objection to draft approval of this plan (January 29, 2009); - Conditions of Draft Plan requested; ' - the Region has no comments on the Traffic Impact Study; - the Region finds the Noise Control Feasibility Study acceptable (June 20, 2008); - the applicant and TRCA have reached an agreement regarding the provision of off -site compensation to mitigate the loss of the ecological function associated with the wooded area; the Region has received confirmation from the Ministry of Culture that the Stage 1, 2 and 3 Archaeological Assessment revealed no concerns for impacts to archaeological resources. Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) Letters Dated February 4, 2008, December 18, 2008 and January 28, 2009) (see Attachments #16 to #18) February 4, 2008 - property is located within an area defined as natural cover in TRCA's Terrestrial Natural Heritage System; - an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required to determine impacts to the immediate and surrounding area with respect to woodlot form and function and possible improvements to the proposed affected area; - a detailed Stormwater Management report is required to determine how the site will tie into the existing or proposed servicing; - a Water Balance Analysis is required to determine how rainfall should be detained on -site and either infiltrated or reused. December 18, 2008 following review of the EIS submitted by the applicant, TRCA staff recommend that as much of the natural cover on the subject site be maintained and improved; where natural cover is to be removed to accommodate development, off -site compensation should be provided for this loss in the form of the establishment of commensurate natural cover. January 28, 2009 no objection to draft approval of this plan; Conditions of Draft Plan requested; the owner has reached an agreement with TRCA to provide $17,500 for off -site woodland compensation to mitigate the ecological impacts associated with the removal of the natural vegetation that exists on the subject lands by providing replacement plantings of trees and shrubs on publicly owned lands nearby.

Report PD 06-10 March 1, 2010 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 34 Zoning Amendment Application A 2/08 Page 8 Veridian Connection (see Attachment #27) - no objection; - conditions of draft plan approval required. The following expressed no objection to the subject draft plan of subdivision and zoning amendment application: • Bell Canada — conditions of draft approval requested; • Enbridge Gas; • Hydro One; • Ministry of Culture. 3.0 Discussion: 3.1 Minimum Lot frontages of 11.0 metres for Single Detached Dwellings in this Neighbourhood are Compatible with the Community and the Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines The Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines are Council adopted guidelines provides guidance on neighbourhood development and acts as a bridge between Official Plan policy and implementing Zoning By-laws. The design guidelines address matters such as: lot frontage; lot depth; scale and intensity of use; community design requirements and any other matter Council deems necessary. The design guidelines are part of the Pickering -Official Plan Compendium Document (see Attachment #28). The proposed draft plan is situated within Precinct 3 of The Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. Any new lot created for the purpose of either a single or semi-detached dwelling within this precinct requires a minimum lot frontage of approximately 15.0 or 10.5 metres respectively. The applicant's proposed plan consists of single detached dwellings with lot frontages ranging from a minimum of 11.0 to 13.0 metres. The inclusion of the word approximately in the Development Guidelines provides for the consideration of minor deviations from the standards expressed in the guideline, provided the character of the neighbourhood is maintained. Neighbourhood character is a combination of the distinct features that exist in the community, such as lot frontage, yard widths and building heights. The applicant has agreed to side yard widths of 1.2 metres and 0.6 metres (for lots with frontages less than or equal to 12.0 metres) and 1.2 metres on both sides (for lots with frontages greater than 12.0 metres), and a maximum building height of 12.0 metres. When these provisions are taken together, the resultant development is a built form compatible with the exiting neighbourhood (see Sketch of Streetscape Example & Lot Comparison Plan, Attachments # 6 & #7). Report PD 06-10 March 1, 2010 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 Zoning Amendment Application A 2/08 Page 9 35 There is no need for rigid uniformity in lot frontage to achieve a compatible character, especially when the existing semi-detached dwellings (north of the proposed plan of subdivision) along Cowan Circle are linked below grade resulting in the built form appearing as single detached dwellings on lots with 10.5 metre frontage. The guidelines state "approximately" 15.0 metres. The resultant streetscape based on the staff recommended lotting pattern, frontage and zoning provisions will not depart fundamentally from the traditional streetscape of the area. Residents expressed concern regarding the applicant's proposed lot frontages of 11.0 metres along Cowan Circle. To provide a better transition with larger -sized lots closer to Rosebank Road, the applicant increased lot frontages to 13.0 metres for the first five lots in the subdivision plan on the south side of Cowan Circle. The remaining lots on the south side of the street are proposed to provide a minimum 12.0 metre frontage (see Applicant's Final Plan, Attachment #4). It is recommended that an exception to the Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines be approved to permit lots for detached dwellings with minimum 11.0 metre frontage in Precinct 3, within the boundaries of this draft plan (see Appendix III). Further, the draft implementing zoning by-law contains development requirements to address lot frontage, side yards, building height and other building location requirements similar to provisions within recent development in the neighbourhood and provides for development compatible with the area (see Appendix II). 3.2 Street "A" Road Extension and Temporary Turning Circle to be Named Gillmoss Road and will provide future Lot Frontage for abutting property owners to the South The road pattern identified in Rosebank Neighbourhood Plan proposes the completion of Cowan Circle and the connection of Gillmoss Road to Dunn Crescent. As part of this subdivision, the applicant is proposing to complete the connection of Cowan Circle, and provide another road extension (labeled as Street "A", see Applicant's Final Plan, Attachment #4) with a temporary turning circle to provide for a future connection with Gillmoss Road. The configuration of Street A provides future opportunity to connect Gillmoss Road to Rosebank Road. Staff explored the opportunity to provide this connection with the development of this draft plan. However, due to required extensive grading and disruption to abutting properties is not feasible or practical at this time. Gillmoss Road will connect over time as development applications are received for 527, 529 and 544 Gillmoss Road. To ensure the Gillmoss Road right-of-way is protected, staff recommend that Block 37 be dedicated to the City future road allowance, as shown on the Staff Recommended Plan (see Attachment #5). Report PD 06-1.0 March 1, 2010 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 36 Zoning Amendment Application A 2/08 Page 10 3.3 The provision of a Tot Lot within the Development is not supported In response to resident comments, the applicant revised the draft plan to provide a neighbourhood tot lot in the northeast sector of the subdivision behind lots 6 to 8 and adjacent to the CN Rail lands (see Applicant's Final Plan, Attachment #4). Engineering Services do not support the introduction of a neighbourhood tot lot as part of this draft plan of subdivision, and the Planning & Development Department concurs with this position. Currently, there are two neighbourhood parks within walking distance of this area (Rick Hull Park and South Rosebank Park). The proposed tot lot is also situated in an area that is unsafe, has poor visibility and is uninviting to area residents. Staffs recommendation not to pursue a tot lot in this draft plan was supported by the South Rosebank Working Group and the applicant at the January 19, 2010 meeting. The City will therefore require cash -in -lieu from the developer as parkland dedication. With the introduction of this draft plan and the Milton Road draft plan there will be a need to upgrade,the two existing parks in this neighbourhood. Staff will be preparing an enhancement plan for these parks in 2010 and will be including provisions to implement these enhancements in the Operations & Emergency Services Department's 2011 budget submission for Council's consideration. 3.4 A Compensation Agreement with the Owner and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority regarding the provision of Off -Site Woodland Enhancement has been reached The Region of Durham (in consultation with the Ministry of Natural Resources) identified that a portion of the subject lands are designated "Key Natural Heritage Feature (KNHF)". As part of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), development or site alteration is not permitted in significant woodlands, unless it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions (see Attachment #9). ,In order to determine the exact boundaries of the KNHF and its minimum vegetation protection zone, the applicant submitted an Environmental Impact Study. Representatives from the Region, TRCA and the City met.with the applicant, owner and the applicant's Ecologist from Beacon Environmental on multiple occasions to discuss the integrity of the existing woodland on the subject properties. As part of the Environmental Impact Study Report, Beacon Environmental found the following: • the site is of poor quality; • the site does not present a well mixed layered canopy; Report PD 06-10 March 1, 2010 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 Zoning Amendment Application A 2/08 Page 11 37 • much of the floral species on the property are non-native and invasive suggesting high levels of disturbance and low ecological function; • the area of the subject lands (cultural meadow) is not large enough to support significant wildlife habitat for migratory birds; • the function of the woodlot would not meet the test of "significance" postulated by the PPS; • Significant Wildlife Habitat (SWH) is not present on the subject property. TRCA is satisfied that the proposed residential development will not impact any existing or abutting natural features or their ecological functions. Despite its acceptance of the EIS, TRCA still expressed concern with the loss of existing woodland within the draft plan boundaries. To address this concern, the owner, TRCA and City staff entered into discussions respecting financial compensation for the loss of trees. Funds will be used to provide off -site woodland compensation on publicly owned lands held by either TRCA or the City of Pickering (see Attachment #18). City staff is requesting for off -site woodland compensation to be provided for Rick Hull Park and/or South Rosebank Park. These trees will be planted in areas that will not be disturbed and will have an opportunity,to regenerate. A copy of a letter submitted by Beacon Environmental sent to TRCA explaining a summary of their findings of the Scoped Environmental Impact Statement is provided on Attachment #29. 3.5 Traffic in the Neighbourhood will not be impacted by the Proposed Development, (Cowan Circle will be Connected and Gillmoss Road Extended) A traffic impact study was prepared for the proposed development by Marshall Macklin Monaghan Group (MMM). The study also took into consideration the plan of subdivision proposed in the area of Milton Road, west of Rosebank Road (SP-2007-01). Amongst other matters, the consultant concluded that the existing intersections at Rosebank Road/Toynevale, Rosebank Road/Cowan Circle North, Rosebank Road/Cowan Circle South and Rosebank Road/Gillmoss Road, are operating at an acceptable Level of Service under the Horizon 2013 background conditions. The consultant also concluded that, given the excess capacity at the existing study intersections, additional road network improvements are not required (see extract from the Traffic Impact Study, Attachment #30). The report was reviewed by the City's Engineering Services Division and the Planning & Development Department's Development Control Section which both concur with the consultant's conclusions and recommendations. Staff will also ensure that the construction of Cowan Circle and Gillmoss Road take place in accordance with City standards. Report PD 06-10 March 1, 2010 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 3 8 Zoning Amendment Application A 2/08 Page 12 3.6 Zoning By-law to Address Amount of front yard parking It is recommended that a 55 percent maximum driveway width provision be included in the implementing zoning by-law to restrict the amount of front yard that can be paved on a property. This provision will allow lots with 11.0 metre frontage a maximum driveway width of 6.0 metres which can accommodate a double car. garage. This provision also promotes additional area for landscaping, assisting with sustainable development. Additional temporary on -street parking will also be available on the east side of Street "A" (Gillmoss Road) opposite the CN Rail. 3.7 Municipal Water and Sanitary Services can be provided Both water supply and sanitary sewers can be provided to the site. The receiving sanitary sewers for this development will discharge to the Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station (SSPS) on Rodd Avenue. This is the same facility that will receive discharge from the approved draft plan of subdivision on Milton Road, west of Rosebank (SP 2007-01 Rosebank Properties Inc.). At the City's request, the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) added a holding provision (H) to the zoning by-law for the lands which prevents development until: a) the date that The Regional Municipality of Durham advises that the Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station has been rebuilt, such as that the dwelling units within the subject lands will utilize the rebuilt infrastructure, or; b) July 1, 2010. The intent of the holding provision is to ensure that sufficient time is given to rebuild the Rosebank SSPS prior to final building occupancy. The Region of Durham has advised that the final design stage for the Rosebank SSPS is nearly complete and the project is to be tendered February 2010. It is anticipated that the construction of the pumping station will commence in spring of 2010 and that the facility will be in operation by spring 2011. As water and sanitary services are available for this subdivision, and as the Rosebank SSPS is anticipated to commence construction in the near future, an "H" — Holding provision for this draft plan is not recommended. Report PD 06-10 March 1, 2010 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 Zoning Amendment Application A 2/08 Page 13 39 3.8 Construction Management Plan will be Required As part of a subdivision agreement, the owner will be required to provide the City with a Construction Management Plan. It provides details such as: respecting the location of construction vehicle entrance(s), construction route, hours of operation, and the prevention/control of dust and mud. City staff will review and comment on the route selected for construction vehicles through the Rosebank Neighbourhood. This matter (amongst others) will be approved to the satisfaction of City staff prior to a developer receiving building permits for lots within the plan boundaries. 3.9 The CN Rail Noise Control and Vibration Measurement Study is acceptable A Noise Control Feasibility Study and a Railway Vibration Measurement Study were provided by the applicant. These studies were conducted by SS Wilson Associates to address potential noise and vibration levels from the existing abutting CN Rail right-of-way to the east. A Railway Vibration Measurement Study measures the vibration levels associated with a moving train and advise on the significance of the impact with respect to acceptable criteria. The vibration study concluded that vibration isolation measures in the form of perimeter isolation material around the foundations and below grade walls to new dwellings should be provided for Lots 6 to 8 and 12 to 18. A Noise Control Feasibility Study ensures that each lot is assured an amenity area (also known as an Outdoor Living Area) no less than 55 decibels (dBA) where.external noise (i.e. rail and substantial vehicular traffic) is minimized to a safe level for all inhabitants and is protected accordingly, usually by acoustical fencing. The noise study concluded that a 4.5 metre noise fence and berm combination and a 4.0 metre east -west return sound barrier are required in the rear of Lots 6, 7 and 8, whereas a 2.0 metre noise fence is also required in the rear of Lot 12 (see Attachment #31). CN Rail, the Region and City staff reviewed both studies and did not have any objections to their findings respecting the need for noise attenuation. However, a 4.0 metre noise attenuation fence, along the flankage of Lot 8 is not acceptable. Staff will review alternative noise attenuation designs during the review of engineering drawings, when final grades are known. It is anticipated that an alternative attenuation design will be achievable. Should achievement of an alternative solution involve reorientation of the lots, lot yield may be impacted. As a noise attenuation fence is not required along Street "A" immediately adjacent to CN line, a 1.8 metre chain link fence is recommended along with coniferous plantings across the base of the fence within the boulevard, to the City's satisfaction. Report PD 06-10 March 1, 2010 Subject: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-02 40 Zoning Amendment Application A 2/08 Page 14 3.10 Future Development Blocks Blocks 35 and 36 of the Staff Recommended Plan will provide for the future creation of two additional lots fronting Cowan Circle with minimum frontages of 13.0 metres. Once these lots are created, the built form will resemble the abutting easterly lots on the south side of Cowan Circle. The development of these blocks will be dependent on the redevelopment of the vacant property south of proposed Blocks 35 and 36 (legally described as Block 7, Plan 40M-1667). Blocks 37 and 43 at the turning circle terminus of Street "A" should not remain in the applicant's ownership (see Attachment #4). The applicant has agreed to dedicate Block 37 to the City and to merge Block 43 with Lot 9 to ensure it is in private ownership (see Staff Recommended Plan, Attachment #5). 3.11 By-law to Implement the Staff Recommended Plan The attached by-law schedule included as Appendix II to this Report, implements the Staff Recommended Plan. 4.0 Applicant's Comments The owner is aware of the contents of this Report.

Trapper and B. Trapper for property municipally known as 491 Rosebank Road & 546 Gillmoss Road. Lynda Taylor, Manager, Development Review gave an outline of the requirements for a Statutory Meeting under the Planning Act. She also noted that if a person or public body does not make oral or written submissions to the City before a by-law is passed, that person or public body are not entitled to appeal the decision of City Council to the Ontario Municipal Board, and may not be entitled to be added as a party to the hearing unless, in the opinion of the .Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so. Ashley Yearwood, Planner I, gave an overview of zoning amendment application A 02/08. Gary Templeton a representative for the applicant appeared before the Committee and noted that a new plan had been submitted to the City due to comments and requirements from CN rail. He stated that CN required setbacks of 20 metres from the .railroad tracks so they took another look at the plan. The new plan has changed the road pattern, which reduced the number of units from 40 to 36 and also created a parkette. City Planning staff noted that they did not know this was a formal submission and have not had an opportunity to discuss it with the developer or review the plan thoroughly. Mr. Carroll, Director, Planning & Development stated that he felt the Public Meeting should continue so that public comments could be heard and the new plan could be dealt with later.

She commented on the creation of the Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines which. were created and adopted by Council. She noted that the guidelines clearly state that all new development.is to be compatible with the character of the existing area. She noted that the guidelines stated that lots shall have a minimum lot frontage of 15 metres and minimum Iot.depths between.30 and 36 metres.. Semi-detached lots shall have a minimum lot frontage of 10.5 metres and minimum lot depth of 30 metres. She stated that this proposal had no regard for these requirements and she felt that the plan was packing people on top of one another. She noted that they were also concerned with the increase in traffic the development would cause and stated that a Traffic Study was imperative. Ms. Shumovich noted environmental issues regarding .the removal of trees and stated that the trees were noise buffers for.the railroad. .She noted that over the course of 24 hours 93 GO trains plus CNR freight and passenger trains went by. Ms. Shumovich stated that with the removal of trees there could be an increase in run off and drainage problems. She also noted servicing concerns in regards to hydro and sewage capacities and stated that she felt the area was already at capacity because they were already experiencing hydro interruptions . Ms. Shumovich noted that, the Community felt that the development would have a negative impact on the area. She stated that the residents of the Rosebank Neighbourhood expect the City to be accountable and deliver a plan that reflects the character of the neighbourhood and the wishes of the residents. Maurice Brenner, 711 Sunbird . Trail, appeared before the Committee representing the Rosebank Neighbourhood. He gave an overview of where the Community was at with the creation of the Community Working Group and stated that there was approximately 15 - 20 residents involved. He noted that the Working Group had .been broken down into subgroups and each sub group had been assigned an area of concern. Mr: Brenner stated some of the concerns included the impact the development would have on traffic, schools, services and the environment. He noted that the Rosebank Community was at capacity in regards to schools, services and traffic congestion.. He also stated that the Region of Durham's report on the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station and Forcemain Crossing of Petticoat Creek did not shine a very good light on future development: He stated that until the upgrades were completed to the pumping station and the forcemain crossing no further development should,be started. He noted that the Region's report stated that additional development would place further strains on the pumping station and forcemain crossing and they could not handle it at this time. 2 ATTACHMENT # 9 REPORT# PO 06 1O Excerpts from % Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes PICKERING Monday, March 3, 2008 7:30 pm — Council Chambers Chair: Councillor McLean Liz Shumovich, 457 Rosebank Road, appeared before the Committee and gave a brief history of the Rosebank Neighbourhood.

Stephen Soon a representative for Arthur Creighton, owner of 527 Gillmost Road, appeared before the Committee to note his clients concerns with the road pattern and how it would land lock his clients property. Mr. Soon stated that his client would only have access to his property through a 12 foot dirt right of way. Mr. 'Soon stated that the new road pattern submitted with the road abutting the railroad tracks would be better for his client. John McArthur, 545 Dahlia Crescent, appeared before the Committee as the representative of the Services Sub Committee for the Rosebank Community. Mr. McArthur noted their concerns with the pumping station age and the fact that it is at capacity. He stated that the Service Sub Committee had gone through the Region's Municipal Class Environmental Assessment report which states "The pumping station has reached a point that space is no longer available on the site to perform necessary improvements and upgrades, and there are insufficient buffers for compliance with the current engineering standards and health and safety regulations" The same report states that "the forcemain crossing capacity was evaluated and found to be insufficient to accommodate any future .design flows at the acceptable velocity". Mr. McArthur requested that Council not consider any new housing proposals until the issues with the. pumping station and the forcemain crossing are fixed. Mr. McArthur also noted resident concerns with the increase of regular brown outs and blackouts in. the Rosebank Community and questioned whether power services were at capacity also. He questioned whether before this development is considered that camparisons between the Rosebank Community and other communities in Pickering could be looked at in regards to the number of power outages and average length of time it takes to return to service, the age of transformers and present overhead wiring conditions and projected life spans. Kate Cherrett, 518 Rosebank Road, appeared before the Committee as the representative of the Neighbourhood Sub Committee for the Rosebank Community. Ms Cherrett stated that their sub committee would be looking at the proposed Milton Road and Cowan Circle developments and how they would affect the entire atmosphere of the Rosebank neighbourhood. She stated that the residents strongly believe the lot sizes need to remain as defined in the existing Rosebank Neighbourhood Guidelines. She noted that the residents wanted assurance that new residential development blends with the existing neighbourhoods. She also noted that there were concerns with water run off in the area and some areas are subject to seasonal flooding. 2 ATTACHMENT#'L—To REPORT# PO LIQ - Excerpts.from City �� _ Planning & Development Committee79 Meeting Minutes PICKE Monday, March 3, 2008 7:30 pm — Council Chambers Chair: Councillor McLean She stated that resident concerns are that too many additional homes on smaller lot sizes will re-route existing underground water courses and cause new problems or increase existing ones. Ms. Cherrett also noted concerns in regards to increased property taxes due to additional development which will require upgraded services. . Pam Spence, 70.5 Foster Court, appeared before the Committee as the representative of the Cowan Circle Sub Committee which will be reviewing issues associated with the Cowan Circle development. She stated that many of the lots being proposed for new development fail to adhere to existing lot frontages of abutting homes set out in the Precinct 3 design guidelines. She noted that it is important to have a comprehensive plan for the whole community .for the future. She stated .that the Community did not have a stable infrastructure to. support new development and stated that the Cowan Circle and the Milton applications were both premature at this time. Geraldine Goudie, 572 Rougemount Drive, appeared before the Committee and also noted her concerns with the stability of the pumping station. 5 ATTACHMENT # ro TO REPORT# PDIi - /p 80 475 Oakwood Drive, Pickering, L 1 W 2M8, Ontario. 7`h March 2008.

The proposed lot frontages are not acceptable. Another important issue is the volume of traffic the proposed development Precinct No.3 in conjunction with proposed development Precinct No.1 will generate in the neighbourhood. Most families have two vehicles, others three or more, add to this the number of cars when family and friends visit. This will have a major impact on the community that has only two roads leading to the highway. Looking to the future, should development take place beyond the temporary turning circles to the north and south of Milton Road in Design Precinct No.1, how many more vehicles will impact the neighbourhood??? The volume of traffic on Toynevale Road and Granite Court is already an issue for the residents of the neighbourhood. This in turn brings up the safety concern for the children at Rosebank Public School during rush hours. I sincerely hope the above mentioned concerns along with the pumping station (already at capacity) the hydro situation, loss of trees, wild life, the list goes on, will be given serious thought before any decisions are made. tATTACHMENT#-1-6—TO ICPDRT# PD .81 The residents who live in this area take pride in their community and it is imperative the zoning amendment application does NOT pass.

Municipal sanitarysewers can be provided by the extension of sanitary sewers from Cowan Circle as identified in the submitted Servicing Feasibility Study. Foundation drains from houses will not be permitted to discharge to the sanitary sewer system. - The receiving sanitary sewers for this development discharges to the Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station (SSPS) on Rodd Avenue. The Region of Durham is currently concluding a Class Environmental Assessment for upgrades at the pumping station and forcemain. This facility occasionally experiences failures due to age and poor condition of mechanical, electrical and structural components. The Region of Durham is planning,replacement of the Rosebank SSPS. in 2009-2010 pending Regional Council approval for budget funding.

Trapper Part of Block K, L and M, Right of Way, Plan 418 CITY OF PIC KERING PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CFN Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff is in receipt of an application for a proposed subdivision. We offer the following comments: Background The subject property is located at Rosebank Road and Gillmoss Road, south of Kingston Road, in the City of Pickering. The applicant is seeking permission to build a 40 unit low density subdivision. The subject property is not located within an Ontario Regulation 166/06 Regulated Area. However, this property is located within an area defined as natural cover in TRCA's Terrestrial Natural Heritage System. Terrestrial Natural Heritage System Strategy TRCA has identified the need to improve both the quality and quantity of terrestrial habitat. TRCA's Terrestrial Natural Heritage System Strategy sets measurable targets for attaining a healthier natural system by creating an expanded and targeted land base. It includes strategic direction for stewardship and securement of the land base, a land policy framework to help achieve the target system, and other implementation mechanisms. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be required in order to satisfy TRCA,of the impacts to the immediate and surrounding area with respect to woodlot form and function and possible improvements to the proposed affected area. Stormwater Management The applicant has not provided any discussion of how the site will tie into existing or proposed servicing, or how the design will meet SWM quality or quantity requirements. We request that the applicant provide a detailed Stormwater Management report that meets the requirements of the Ministry of the Environment's Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual, 2003. 91 f:\home\public\development services\durham regtUmpk�rint7f�Bs��d�f���lrrn5s���oc 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview, Ontario M3N 1S4 (416) 661-6600 FAX 661-6898 www.trca.on.ca ATTACHMENT#.=TO <IEPORT# PD bG - is 92 Mr. Yearwood -2- February 4, 2008 Water Balance At a minimum, the first 5 mm of every rainfall event should be detained on -site and either infiltrated or reused.

Scoped Environmental Impact Study, September 2008, prepared by Beacon Environmental. Based upon our review, we offer the following comments for action by the applicant: Migratory Birds and Significant Wildlife Habitat 1. The Environmental Impact Study (EIS) evaluates the applicability of various planning policies, including the Provincial Policy Statement. In the evaluation of Significant Wildlife Habitat, 'Animal Movement Corridors,' the landscape connectivity of the property from a terrestrial movement perspective is assessed. It is concluded that the subject lands do not provide connectivity.' This section, however, does not examine the potential for these lands to serve as Significant Wildlife Habitat (SWH) as it pertains to the movement of migratory birds. Regarding the potential for the presence of SWH for migratory birds, we note that the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources' Natural Heritage Reference Manual, June 1999 indicates that woodlands, close to the Great Lakes are particularly important as wildlife movement corridors (p. 29). This is particularly important for the subject lands given the proximity to Lake Ontario. The Region of Peel and Town of Caledon have commissioned a study, currently in draft form, which seeks to establish criteria and thresholds for SWH (Peel - Caledon Significant Woodlands and Significant Wildlife Habitat Study DRAFT Report for Public Comments, October 2008). This study addresses SWH for migratory birds using the principles of stopover ecology and recommends that all 'natural areas' within 2 kilometers of Lake Ontario or within 500 metres of river valleys within 5 kilometers of Lake Ontario be identified as SWH (p. 122). In this instance, 'natural areas' are defined F:\Home\Public\Development ServicesOurham Region\Pickering\Rosebank-Gillmoss_3.wpd Member of Conservation Ontario .. 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview, Ontario M3N 1$4 (416) 661-6600 FAX 661-6898 www.trca.on.ca s�j{ ATTACHMENT#eL_TO 94 REPORT# PD 46 ~ /D Mr. Ashley Yearwood - 2 - December 18, 2008 as all terrestrial and wetland communities as defined under the Ecological Land Classification system, as well as cultural woodlands). It is concluded in the EIS that there are no constraints to the complete removal of the natural areas on the subject property except for timing removals in compliance with the Migratory Birds Act (Canada). Furthermore, no mitigation or compensation for the loss of ,the features is proposed. It is our opinion that, based on the information provided above, there are ecological constraints on the subject lands, namely the importance of maintaining the natural cover for the functions it serves as 'stopover' areas for migratory birds. Further, it is stated in the .EIS that, as far as migratory birds are concerned, the Petticoat and Rouge valleys would provide superior habitat, and as such, there is no need to protect the natural cover on the subject property. Unfortunately, these valley features alone cannot provide all of the ecological function for the area, to the exclusion of all other natural cover. In other words, while the site may not provide the quality of habitat provided by the valley features, the quantity of natural cover should be maintained, given its proximity to the shoreline. Recommendation Based upon our review of the EIS, TRCA staff recommend that as much of the natural cover on this site be maintained and improved. For areas where natural cover is to be removed to accommodate development, off -site compensation should be provided for this loss in the form of the establishment of commensurate natural cover (afforestation/reforestation of an appropriate land base in the Petticoat Creek watershed, within 2km of the Lake Ontario shoreline). Given the recommendation above, and in order to move forward, we further recommend that a meeting be convened with the Owner, Owner's representatives, City staff and TRCA staff in order to discuss this matter further.

The agreement between the owner and ourselves was reached during a meeting at the City of Pickering municipal offices on January 21, 2009 attended by the Owner, the Owner's Representatives, City of Pickering Staff and TRCA Staff. The owner has documented this agreement in a letter to TRCA dated January 22, 2009 prepared by Beacon Environmental. The owner has agreed to provide $17,500 towards off -site woodland compensation.. The purpose of the off -site woodland cdmpensation is to mitigate the ecological impacts associated with the removal of the natural vegetation that exists on the subject lands by proving replacement plantings of trees and shrubs on publicly owned lands nearby. These replacement plantings should, over time, re-establish natural cover commensurate with the ecological value of the natural cover lost through the development of subject lands. Now that this issue has been resolved to our satisfaction, we wish to provide implementing conditions to draft plan approval herein. Conditions to Draft Plan Approval The following proposed conditions to draft plan approval relate to revised draft plan of subdivision, Drawing Number DP-1, Project Number 2007-003, prepared by Land -Pro Engineering Consultants Inc., received by TRCA on January 21, 2008: That prior to any grading, development, pre -servicing or site alteration, or registration of this plan or any phase thereof, the Owner submit for the review and approval of the TRCA: a.

We thank the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) for their review comments which were sent to the City of Pickering in a letter dated December 18, 2008. We are pleased to respond in this letter to the TRCA's comments that relate to natural heritage. Summary of TRCA Comments • In the evaluation of Significant Wildlife Habitat, 'Animal Movement Corridors' (as pertaining to the Provincial Policy Statement), the EIS does not examine the potential for the subject lands to serve as Significant Wildlife Habitat (SWH) as it pertains to the movement of migratory birds, • The OMNR's Natural Heritage Reference Manual (OMNR1999) indicates that woodlands close to the Great Lakes are particularly important as wildlife movement corridors. This is particularly important for the subject lands given the proximity to the Lake Ontario. • The Region of Peel and Town of Caledon have commissioned a study which addresses SWH for migratory birds using the principles of stopover ecology and recommends that all natural areas within 2 km of Lake Ontario or within 500 m of river valleys within 5 k of Lake Ontario as SWH. In this instance, natural areas are defined as all terrestrial and wetlands communities as defined under the Ecological Land Classification system, as well as cultural woodlands. • No mitigation or compensation for the loss of the features is proposed in the EIS. However, he TRCA notes that there are ecological constraints on the subject lands, namely the importance of maintaining the natural cover for the functions it serves as 'stopover' areas for migratory birds. 144 Main St. North, Suite 206, Markham, Ontario, Canada L 3 P 5 T 3 Tel: (905) 201 7622 Fax: (905) 201 0639 ATTACHMENT#-1-1-TO REPORT# PD 06 -10 0 BEACON January 22, 2008 Further, it is stated in the EIS that, as far as migratory birds are concerned, the Petticoat and Rough River valleys would provide superior habitat, and as such, there is no need to protect the natural cover on the subject property. Unfortunately, these valleys features alone cannot provide all of the ecological function for the area, to the exclusion of all other natural cover. In other words, while this site may not provide the quality of habitat provided. by the valley features, the quantity of natural cover should be maintained, given its proximity to the shoreline. Beacon Response We agree that the wooded area on the subject property provides habitat for migratory birds due to its proximity to Lake Ontario. This has been referred to in Section 4.3.3 of the EIS. However, we do not agree that this woodlot satisfies criteria to be termed significant in terms of the Provincial Policy Statement. The OMNR Natural Heritage Reference Manual does not provide criteria or examples for the evaluation of stopover areas for migratory birds as Significant Wildlife Habitat. The OMNR Significant Wildlife Habitat Technical Manual (OMNR 2000) was referred to for guidance. Page 71 of this document, under Section 8.3.7. — Landbird Migratory Stopover Areas, states that: "Many significant landbird stopover sites are located within 2 to 10 km of Great Lake shorelines because migrating birds follow these shorelines moving to narrow crossing points to continue their migration. The Niagara Escarpment forms a natural corridor for migrating birds from Niagara Falls to the Bruce Peninsula and onto Manitoulin Island and northern Ontario. Sites with a high diversity of habitat types are best. Sites that consistently support high numbers of birds, as well as a high diversity of species, including rare species, should be considered significant. Many of these sites will have a long history of use." There is no evidence that the poor quality and small extent of vegetation communities on the subject property would support this level of use by migrant birds. The subject property does not compare to the concept of "narrow crossing points" or the Niagara Escarpment. In southern Ontario, migrant birds occur in all habitats with physical structure during the spring and fall, including the local urban yards. However, the use of these habitats by birds does not indicate that they automatically represent Significant Wildlife Habitat in the context of the PPS. Additionally, Table 10.5 (Page 121 of the OMNR Technical Manual) provides an overview of where seasonal concentration areas are most likely to be found. The table is reproduced as follows. Page 2 i31 ACON ATTACHMENT# 2�T0 REPORT# PD a.� 1 15 January 22, 2008 Type of Seasonal Concentration Primary Location of Habitat Notes/Key Requirements Landbird migratory Open water shorelines with adjacent Great Lakes shorelines and stopover area mature forests, oldfields and adjacent lands within 5 km grasslands (especially Lake Erie & Forest cover along watercourses, Lake Ontario) are very forested ravines important The subject property does not provide primary habitat for migratory landbirds based on the specifications provided in the above table. The draft Peel — Caledon Significant Woodlands and Significant Wildlife Habitat Study referred to by TRCA states that: "Preferred sites are generally characterized by a dominance of native trees and shrubs, as well as a more mixed layered canopy (i.e., tall trees, mid -level trees and shrubs, and a thick understory). Greater concentrations and more species of migrants are typically recorded in these habitats and also tend to spend more time in them."— Page 121 The subject property does not present a well mixed layered canopy and much of the floral species on the subject property are non-native and invasive, suggesting high levels of disturbance and low ecological function (as discussed in Section 4.1 of the EIS). In our opinion, the vegetation community on the subject property does not match the description above and is unlikely to be 'well used' by migratory birds when compared with other local features such as the Petticoat Creek and Rouge River valleys. Further, the Peel-Caledon draft study recommends that: "all 'natural areas' be identified as SWH within: a. 2 km of Lake Ontario, b. river and creek valleys within 5 km of Lake Ontario, and c. 500 m of river valleys within 5 km of Lake Ontario. 'Natural areas' include all terrestrial and wetland communities as defined under the Ecological Land Classification (ELC) system (Lee et al. 1998), as well as cultural woodlands. Successional communities (i.e., cultural savannahs, cultural thickets and cultural meadows) should also be identified as SWH if they are: a. at least 5 ha in size and immediately on the /akeshore, or b. at least 10 ha in size and within any of the zones (a, b, c) identified above." Page 3 ATTACHMENT# 23 REPORT# PD 0 6 - IQ go BEACON . .r i•trk�dZ ::?�E. January 22, 2008 These criteria do not appear to differentiate between habitats that might provide marginal function from those that provide significant function consistent with the direction of OMNR and the intent of the PPS. In addition, the cultural meadow (successional community) occurring on the subject property is 0.28 ha in area and therefore is not significant wildlife habitat for migratory birds based on area. In addition, we do not agree that cultural m eadows provide important habitat for large numbers of migrant birds. The recommended criteria provided in the Peel-Caledon study are expert based. The document does not provide evidence supported by scientific literature for the evaluation of what is deemed `significant habitat' for migratory landbirds. Finally, the designation of Significant Wildlife Habitat is the responsibility of the planning authority. This process requires an appreciation for the range of resources within a planning jurisdiction such that significant features can be differentiated from non -significant features, and protected as designated SWH within the Official Plan. Even if this were undertaken, which it has not been in this case, development would not be prohibited, but rather would be subject to an EIS. For these reasons we take the position that while migrant birds will use the subject property, as well as other yards, gardens and street trees in the area, this function would not meet the test of "significance" postulated by the PPS and that Significant Wildlife Habitat is not present on the subject property. . Resolution The above issue was discussed at a meeting held at the City of Pickering office with staff from the TRCA, City of Pickering, Region of Durham, Beacon Environmental and LandPro Engineering on January 21, 2009. A compensatory arrangement was reached, notwithstanding the unresolved question re garding SWH. The TRCA requested compensation for the loss of trees from the deciduous forest on the subject property due to the proposed development. Based on the area of this forest, a monetary value was assessed. The proponent has agreed to pay the City of Pickering a total sum of $1.7,500 as compensation for the loss of trees on the subject property that will be used to fund restoration works to be undertaken by the TRCA. We understand that this will be implemented through a condition of draft plan approval.

Full build -out of the Milton Road area includes an additional 30 potential units; • The Pickering Shores at Rosebank development has two potential plans, one includes approximately 40 single detached units and the other 36. The slight reduction in units is a result of the Canadian National Railway requirements. Under full build -out of the Pickering Shores at Rosebank development, there are approximately 65 single detached units. For the purpose of this study, 75 units were assumed to ensure a conservatively high estimate in terms of traffic; • Traffic operations have been assessed at two horizons including: existing conditions and Horizon 2013 (expected full build -out); . • The existing intersections at Rosebank Road and Toynevale Road, Rosebank Road and Cowan Circle North, Rosebank Road and Cowan Circle South, and Rosebank Road and Gillmoss Road are operating at an acceptable Level of Service; • Future background traffic was developed based on an annual growth rate of one -percent per annum; • There are no planned road network improvements for the study area; • The examined intersections are expected to operate at an acceptable Levels of Service under Horizon 2013 background conditions; • The trip generation rates for the development were obtained from the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation (71h Edition); • The distribution of trips within the study area was determined based on historical traffic flow data; • Future site trips were assigned to the future road network based on historical traffic now data; • The examined intersections are expected to operate at an acceptable Levels of Service under Horizon 2013 total future conditions. i!► MMM GROUP Is 1 2 0 ATTACHMENT# 3O TO Traffic Impact Study REPORT# PD 06-10 Page 12 Rosebank South Neighbourhood, Pickering May 2008 5.2 Recommendations The following actions are recommended: 1. Milton Road should be constructed as a two lane road connecting Oakwood Drive and Rosebank Road 2. Milton Road should be stop controlled at its intersections with Rosebank Road and Oakwood Drive 3. Cowan Circle should be completed as a two lane local road. No changes are required at its existing intersections with Rosebank Road. 4. Both site plans for the Pickering Shores at Rosebank development were considered. No road network improvements are expected to be required to support either scenario. Given the minimal volumes on Gilmoss Road, no improvements are required should a connection to the proposed development be -provided. 5. Even with the full build -out of the Milton Road area no road network improvements are expected to be required in order to accommodate the proposed developments. Given the excess capacity at the existing study area intersections, minor changes in terms of adding unif's or converting single units to semi-detached units are not expected to require additional road network improvements. 6. The recommended future road network is shown in Figure 5.1. i Q LUC[[eKe 11�4 i 1&1Z-405E f .32-111 N771572TE B n C 3 C eli u g BLOCK .+ 3 4 5 =� 5 1] t 9J6 I 3 ATTACi4NBENTi 3i-- - TO EPOrT#; - .
