(III) MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION
1. PLANNING&DEVELOPMENT REPORT PD 18-00
DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION 18T-99015
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION A 29/99
GARTHWOOD HOMES
(PREVIOUSLY J. KISIELOWSKI&M. TROCHANOWSKA)
(EAST SIDE OF APPLEVIEW ROAD,NORTH OF DUNBARTON ROAD)
APPROVED SEE RECOMMENDATION#1
Bill Foden, 1808 Appleview Road, stated that the application should not be
approved because the current zoning is adequate to deal with the application, 12
metre lots are not in character with the existing neighbourhood, the road pattern is
poor and damages the environment, it interferes with potential development to the
north, and it does not comply with the Dunbarton Community Plan. This
application will have an impact on Frenchman's Bay and he felt that a plan must
be in place to determine how runoff will affect the Bay. From a community
perspective, the applicant has denied the neighbourhood of the opportunity to
provide comments, he has refused to help the residents at the OMB and it is not
the Council's job to make position for the OMB.
Mark Dawson, 1796 Appleview Road, stated that at the Statutory Public
Information Meeting, staff suggested that there would be an informal meeting with
the residents and the developer but this did not occur. By going to the OMB, the
developer is trying to circumvent the residents. The present proposal does not •
satisfy the residents' concerns and the lot sizes are not in character with the
existing neighbourhood. Some of the statements in the staff report are confusing
and he noted that the number of lots in the proposed development have increased
from 19 to 24. The chain link fence at the top of the bank is not appropriate and
the suggested building height of 12 metres is too high if measured from a walkout.
This development should have double car garages.
Marilyn Tolpash, 1849 Appleview Road, stated that she is concerned about the
density of the proposed development and felt that an R2 zoning is not low density.
The proposed development is not in character with the existing neighbourhood and
noted that there are no sidewalks on Appleview Road and that traffic is a concern.
Angelo Giodano, 976 Rambleberry Avenue, stated that this development should
be built within the existing zoning. His property abuts this development and the
higher density will lower his property value. Council must preserve the unique
character of the Dunbarton community. He noted that the road width in the
proposed development has been reduced from 22 metres to 18 metres.
William Bannon, 1791 Appleview Road, stated that his property abuts the
proposed development and he did talk with the developer and now supports the
new proposed development. He noted that the grade of the internal road is steep
and there are 30 to 40 trees that should be preserved. The homes to be built in the
proposed development should be in character with those in the existing
neighbourhood.
Norm Grawert, 1799 Appleview Road, stated that the proposed road has two cul-
de-sacs that will be hard to manoeuvre. The proposed walkway to the north
connecting to Rambleberry Avenue is a steep grade and could be dangerous for
children.
Scott Curry, 1738 Appleview Road, stated that there is a concern that children will
ride their bicycles down the walkway to the north and hit Street A which has an
incline and is close to intersections. He opposes this development but would
support a development that is in character with the existing neighbourhood. He
thought there would be a residents' working group to provide input on this
application.
Chris Knight, 1800 Appleview Road, stated that his primary concern is lot size.
Contrary to what is stated in the staff report, the concerns of the residents about lot
size have not been addressed. The temporary road has been made into a
permanent road and trees will have to be removed which will lead to erosion.
Heather Rorrison, 1004 Rambleberry Avenue, stated that her property abuts the
proposed walkway. She is not in favour a walkway at the noted location because
of the steep grade. She does not support this particular application because it is
not in character with the existing neighbourhood.
Grant Morris, representing the applicant, stated that it is not easy to develop on an
infilling basis. He is generally satisfied with the staff report. He noted that the
subject lands are designated as low density residential and allow up to 30 units per
hectare, however, his proposed development is less dense. He noted that in the
Dunbarton Community Plan, along existing road, the minimum lot frontages must
be 15 metres, however, lot frontages need only be 12 metres for internal roads.
The road to service this development must be on the applicant's property. His
consultant will cut back growth to make way for the road, however, they will leave
the stumps to control erosion and put in shrubs to also help erosion. This will also
provide better site lines. The proposed walkway to the north is required to proviLle
for access for bicycles and pedestrians and although it is steep, it will interact with
less cars on a cul-de-sac. His client has chosen to go to the OMB because of the
stated opposition to the application and to minimize delays. The OMB hearing
will allow residents to state their opinion. He has hired a landscape architect to
alleviate erosion and trees on the south side of the Bannon property will be
preserved. The style of the proposed houses will be varied and the value of these
houses will be the same as those on Appleview Road and Rambleberry Avenue.
2. PLANNING&DEVELOPMENT REPORT PD 21-00

W. AND N. NEILL
(EAST SIDE OF WOODVIEW AVENUE, NORTH OF PINE GROVE AVENUE
AND SOUTH OF SANDHURST CRESCENT)
APPROVED SEE RECOMMENDATION#2
Krystyna Lazaridis, representing the applicant, stated that the zoning application is
required as a condition of land severance and must be changed from Agricultural
to and S3 zone. The proposal will create two development lots and a future
development block.
