commented on the expanded parking to the north of the present facility, the proposed
landscaping to include decorative fencing and a double rows of trees being placed along
Pickering Parkway. He advised that a concern had been raised regarding lighting and that

towards the lot and lower lighting will be installed on the lot itself. A raised display
podium will be located on the south-west corner of the development which will hold
three to four cars. A canopy is being placed over the main entrance for pick-up and drop-
off comfort. The service facility will handle light maintenance only.

a Director of the Board for PACT, commented on three concerns; a proper trafffic study
should be undertaken, landscaping to block the inventory parking and an increase in the
minimum setback for improved landscaping should be in place, and the Town should,
comment on their vision for Notion Road. He also stated that they are in support of the
zoning by-law amendment.
4. Troy Braithwaite, member of Autopac Group, and Glen Broll of Glen Schnarr &
Associates, advised that this use in isolation will not have a significant impact on traffic.
The landscaping has been adjusted to address the concerns raised. They also support and
echo the concerns voiced by Mr. White concerning Notion Road, wishing this road to
become resident, traffic and consumer friendly.
