PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT REPORT PD 17-05 ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION A 12/05 ALAN & NANCY FORD 1465 ALTONA ROAD PART OF LOT 33, PLAN 228 A~3Droved As Amended By-law Forwarded to Council See Recommendation #2 Jim Callan, 1483 Altona Road, supports development but feels that this application does not take into consideration surrounding lands. A traffic study is essential and the residents involved in the development of a large property on the adjacent lands are willing to pay for the study. They feel that the final approval of this application is premature and wish for Committee to wait until the entire area can be developed in a cohesive manner. -2- Executive Committee Meeting Minutes Tuesday, May 24, 2005 7:40 PM Chair: Councillor Dickerson Grant Morris, Planning Consultant, advised that he has been hired by surrounding neighbours to develop a draft plan of subdivision for a number of properties north of the land in question and that a traffic consultant has also been hired by these same residents to undertake a traffic study. He requested that this application be deferred until the traffic study determines the best location of the new road in an attempt to minimize the traffic concerns. Lorne Hewie, 1469 Altona Road, requested this application be deferred to offer more time for proper development of the entire area. The traffic along Altona Road is already an issue therefore, the new road should exit onto Rougemount Ddve. Igor Cot, Ascot Homes Inc., Agent for the Fords, requested Committee adopt the recommendations contained in the Planning Report. He suggested other alternatives be considered for traffic related issues rather than attempting to stop this development. He requested Committee approve a reduced setback from 1.5 metres to 1.22 metres as well as allowing a 38% coverage rather than 33%. Ronald Eaton, 1475 Altona Road, stated his concern with the approval of this development prior to the traffic study, stating the need for a road for the proposed draft plan of subdivision to the north. Sandra Lalonde, 1487 Rougemount Drive, advised that she recently built a new home on Rougemount Drive and the approval of development on the lots north of this application would gravely affect her living conditions. She emphasized that she does not want to look out her backyard at a development. Isabelle Lucas, 1495 Rougemount Drive, stated that her mother's property as well as Rougemount Drive would be totally affected by the development of the lands to the north. She advised that she is not in favour of a road by her mother's property nor taking a piece of their property for the road. 3 Executive Committee Meeting Minutes Tuesday, May 24, 2005 7:40 PM Chair: Councillor Dickerson PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT REPORT PD 18-05 ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION A 06/01 GLENDA WINTERSTEIN 5015 BROCK ROAD (SOUTH PART OF LOT 18, CONCESSION 9) Approved As Amended By-law Forwarded to Council See Recommendation #3 Glenda Winterstein, applicant, advised of her presence and requested that five units be approved rather than the four suggested by Planning staff.
