Tyas 542 Kingston Road Block B, Registered Plan 473 and Part Lot 30, Range 3, B.F.C. City of Pickerinq Richard Weldon, the applicant, appeared before the Committee in opposition to the revised recommendations. Mr. Weldon stated that this was the first time he had heard of this revised plan and noted that he thought there had been an agreement on the plan he had submitted. He stated that he had in his opinion completed everything he could possibly do to satisfy the City and the residents in the area. He noted that he had tried to work with everyone for the last 15 months and did not wish to go to the OMB to try and work things out. Mr. Weldon noted that he just couldn't support the revised plan. Bruce Foster, 492 Lightfoot Place, Pickering, appeared before the Committee as a representative for the Lightfoot Place, Rosebank Road and Steeple Hill residents. Mr. Foster noted that they were in support of the revised recommendations and noted that the plan would blend well with the existing neighbourhood. Ellen Adams, 1411 Rosebank Road, Pickering, appeared before the Committee in support of the revised plan. She stated that the previous plan would have created a wall of townhouses because of the height and width of the lots. Mrs. Adams stated that they thought they had an agreement 9 months ago but it now appeared that nothing came of the discussions. She stated that she felt the northern portion of the property should be single family homes. John Newall, 529 Steeple Hill, Pickering, appeared before the Committee in opposition to the development. He noted that there should be no more houses built in Pickering due to environmental concerns and stated that he felt this area should be used for retail. He also noted that when trees are taken down they should be replaced with mature trees and the housing development should have a green canopy coverage and if the houses are any higher then 9 metres this could not happen. -2- Executive Committee Meeting Minutes Monday, November 28, 2005 8:00 pm Chair: Councillor Johnson Moved by Councillor Brenner Seconded by Councillor Dickerson That Draft Plan of Subdivision Application S-P-2004-05 submitted by Weldon Lands Inc. on behalf of the Estate of A.
