Brenner E. Higdon R. Johnson E. Pistritto K. Van Kempen D. Wellman ~ ALSO PRESENT: N.C. Marshall B. Taylor N. Carroll - Town Manager - Town Clerk - Director of Planning (I) ADOPTION OF IfINUTES Regular meeting of April 5,1993. ~ (II) DELBGA'l'IONS 1. Doug Lockrey, 1210 Radom Street, Apartment #404, stated that he has submitted lengthy comments on the Arkon proposal. The traffic on Bayly Street is already at capacity. The buffers to the environment could not be properly maintained and the staff of the Ministry of Natural Resources have not been fully consulted on this project. There is a need for subsidized housing but this building will have a negative effect on the valley lands and therefore should not be built on the subject lands. 2. Katherine Murray, representing the Friends of the Altona Forest and the Pickering Naturalists, stated that she is familiar with the land use issues of the Altona Forest and support the protection of the Forest. She also supports the Province in providing funding for the acquisition of lands in the Forest by the MTRCA. She indicated that road patterns should not affect the Forest and that other agencies that have an interest in the Forest be consulted during the preparation of the management plan. If the Town is comfortable with the MTRCA managing the Forest, then this should be stated in the resolution to support the acquisition of the Forest by the MTRCA. 8 3. Fred Beer, representing Association, stated that he of the Altona Forest and support it. the Pickering Rural supports the acquisition hopes that Council will (II) 4. 8 5. 6. 7. 8. 8 9. 10. 8 7/93 57 DELBGA'l'IONS Janice Frampton, 1810 Post Drive, stated that preservation of the Altona Forest is a Town issue. Residential development costs money and commercial development is required. the wide more Steve Marshall, representing Save The Rouge, stated that the well being of the natural area includes the protection of the Altona Forest. Everyone benefits from the protection of the Forest because low density housing is a net cost to the Town. He hoped that Council would support the acquisition of the Forest by the MTRCA. Frank Wick, representing the Pickering Rod and Gun Club, stated that he supports the preservation of the Altona Forest be that the boundaries of the Forest should be those that were defined by the Ministry of the Environment in 1991. The Altona Forest is one of the last large forests left in southern Ontario. Michael Bridge, representing the Rosebank Ratepayers Association, stated that he is a biologist and that the question Council should be considering is how big a risk the Town is willing to take in the protection of the Forest. The Forest has a wide range of natural habitat and is an important link in the migration of plants and animals in the Rouge/Duffins corridor. He supports the acquisition of the Forest. Lorne Almack, Claremont, stated that urban growth without matching industrial assessment is not good and studies have been undertaken to prove this. A 160 acre forest would be good for the image of Pickering and would encourage chief executive officers to locate in Pickering. Bill McKechnie, representing PESCA, stated that he opposes the Arkon proposal and that his objection is not a " NIMBY " problem. There have been false statements made about the residents feelings of this development. The Board of Education's only concern about this proposal is if the children can be accommodated in the local schools. The traffic study does not consider the lack of proper roads in the area and he noted that although the Planning Department does not feel there will be a' problem with traffic, they make a different observation in its publication the Backgrounder. Paul Johnston, representing Arkon Developments, asked Council to enact Zoning By-law 4180/93 and noted his appreciation of Council's support of this project in the past. He noted that the project complies with the District Plan and the proponents have relied on this policy in developing the land. No public agency has objected to this proposal and the Ministry of Natural Resources and MTRCA will be invol ved in the environmental planning of the development. The subject lands are distant from existing residential development and is less dense than the present Radom towers. He noted that other traffic engineers have concurred with the traffic study and that another Planner has stated that the project will not be detrimental. He is complying with all present environmental standards and the project will have substantial financial benefits to the Town. (II) 11. 12. e 13 . 14 . 15. 16. 8 17. 18. 19. 20. 8 21. 7/93 58 DBLBGA'l'IONS David Matthews, 714 Annland Street, stated that the traffic on Bayly Street is already very heavy during rush hours and the Arkon project will only make this problem worse. Roy Robinson, 915 Liverpool Road, stated that the Arkon project will have an adverse effect on downstream features such as Frenchman's Bay and Lake Ontario. He noted that there are plans to have interconnecting trails and the apartment and the parking lot encroach on sensitive lands. Helen McKean, 1210 Radom Street, Unit #1804, stated that there are many reasons to oppose the Arkon project. During the expansion of the IGA plaza, the area residents were treated with disdain and she asked where construction debris would be stored if this project were approved. Stuart McGowan, 753 Liverpool Road, stated that although there is merit to the non-profit housing concept, the Arkon project is too dense and the traffic created would be detrimental. He noted that the area schools are already overcrowded. Tom Smedley, 1113 Tanzer Court, as represented by Tom Mohr, stated his objection to the Arkon project. Peter Laumer, 862 Modlin Road, stated that Bay Ridges has all forms of housing, including subsidized housing. The lands subject to the Arkon proposal should be used for commercial development and Bayly Street cannot accommodate more traffic. Deirdre Mohr, 842 Naroch Boulevard, stated that the areachildrens' organizations are already full and noted that children will be the looser if the Arkon project is approved. Randy Vaine, representing the Liverpool West Community Association, stated that he supports PESCA in opposing the Arkon project. The Town needs more business development, not residential development and he resents the Province giving money to this project. More thought should be given to traffic matters such as ingress and egress to the project and the protection of wildlife. Subsidized housing can be provided in the Pickering Place apartments which has a 31% vacancy rate. Carol Farquhar, 1235 Radom Street, Unit #79, stated that she is concerned about the protection of wildlife in the ravine and the protection of the environment. Betty Metcalf, 1377 Garvolin Drive, stated that she objects to the Arkon project because of the congestion of people and traffic it will cause. Dale Perry, 2 Spiers Crescent, Ajax, stated that he is a member of the Altona Road Church of the Nazarene and that his wife sits on the Board of Arkon. They are only asking for a zoning change that would provide for one residential building instead of a commercial development. Arkon will continue to work with the community where the owners of a commercial building would not. His organization is trying to help the community and it should carefully weigh out the pros and cons of the project. (II) 22. 23. 8 24. 25. 8 26. 27. 8 7/93 59 DBLBGA'l'IONS Susan Poole, 1296 Ilona Park Road, stated that she opposes the Arkon project based on environmental, traffic and school concerns. The apartment would only add to garbage in the ravine. Reverend Larry Chovancek, 1367 Altona Road, representing the Church of the Nazarene, stated that he can understand the fears of the area residents. The apartment is not a Nazarene building and the intent of the Arkon project is to provide affordable housing for all denominations. The current waiting list for housing would already fill the building. The Church intends to have a staff person living in the building to minister to the social needs of the tenants and hopefully to reach out to the community. The members of the Arkon Board of Directors are involved in other social projects such as food banks. He noted that the community do not oppose the concept of non-profit housing; they only oppose the location. The land that the Church of the Nazarene is located on Altona Road is fully developed and the apartment could not be constructed at that location. The subject property is close to all Town services, the tenants would clear the valley lands and the people of the community would be managing the building. Ellen Corcoran, 1230 Radom Street, Unit #31, stated that she opposes the Arkon project and would not support any development of the subject lands. Bob Mitchell, representing the Bay West Lookout Community Association, stated that planning issues cannot be made subjective and noted that Bay Ridges is a caring community. The location of the Arkon project is inappropriate; the density is too high and the traffic is dangerous. Any economic advantage to the adjacent plaza should not be taken into consideration. This project should not be approved while the Town is undertaking an Official Plan review. He does not object to subsidized housing but it must be in a healthy and safe location. Tom Mohr, representing PESCA, stated that he is concerned with the process in dealing with the Arkon proposal. The area residents are afraid of this project and do want it forced on them. Subsidized housing is not needed but subsidies for housing are. Terry Nuspl, 140 Woodview Drive, stated that the Notice of Motion to establish policies to govern appointees to Town committees should be expanded to state that there should be no press conferences without the written authoriza.tion of the Mayor or one councillor from each ward. No Member of Council should use Town letterhead unless the letter was signed by one councillor from each ward. No Member of Council should meet with a developer except at public meetings or with the permission of other councillors. More attention should be paid to the needs of the residents. 7/93 60 (III) RESOLUTIONS Resolution #82193 Moved by councillor Brenner Seconded by Councillor Johnson e That Richard Ward be permitted to address Council.
