Grant Morris, Planning Consultant for the owner appeared before the Committee in support of the application. Mr. Morris noted that when the owner purchased the property he thought he could rezone the property to allow for the Pizza restaurant but just recently was advised by the Conservation Authority that the floodplain boundaries had been changed and they would not support the application. Mr. Morris noted that the owner was in discussions with the Conservation Authority. Doug Howard, 1775 Storrington Street appeared before the Committee in opposition to the commercial zoning and felt that it should remain residential. He stated that his concerns regarding commercial zoning allowing for a restaurant would bring food odours to the area, created more garbage which would attract wildlife or rodents. He questioned what would happen if the pizza restaurant did not work, what use would come next. Mr. Howard also felt that this use would put additional strain and damage on the creek which was next to the property. Mary Aroukatos the representative for Nancy and Betty Aroukatos, owners of 1222 Kingston Road appeared before the Committee with concerns regarding the rezoning. She stated that her clients felt that the driveway should not be moved and noted that there were a number of mature trees along the property line that should be protected. She stated that they felt once commercial zoning was allowed then it would just continue to grow in this area. Ms. Aroukatos also noted the heavy traffic in the area and felt this type of zoning would make it worse and also noted that there had been flooding problems on the property and that the grading should be looked at. Ms. Aroukatos noted that if this is what the City is planning for this area then they should follow the same type of concept that they planned at the bottom of Liverpool Road where the commercial units closed early in the evening. She also stated that they definitely did not want a patio to be allowed. Written submission was received in the Clerk's Division on April 6th regarding their concerns. Paul Newman, 1769 Storrington Street appeared before the Committee and noted his opposition to the Pizza Restaurant for the property. He stated that he is not opposed to the commercial zoning but it should be office type uses and not food or drinking type uses. Mr. Newman stated that when rezoning this area consideration should be given to the surrounding residential component. 4 Caq"o Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes Monday, April 6, 2009 7:30 pm - Council Chambers Chair: Councillor Littley III) PART `B' - PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT REPORTS 1.
