The Public Meeting this date was to consider a Zoning By-law Amendment application submitted by Gen Quan Lin c/o Lei Zhang, Archizoning Design Inc., for to permit a future severance and creation of one new residential lot facilitating the demolition of the existing dwelling and its replacement by the new single detached dwellings at 25 Springdale Avenue (Ward 4), File No. Plan 22 257558.
The Committee Clerk advised that 282 notices were mailed on April 25, 2023 and a Public Meeting sign was posted on March 29, 2023. One written submission was received regarding this proposal.
Stephen Lue, Senior Manager, Development, introduced the item.
Aleks Todorovski, Planner II – East District, provided a presentation regarding the proposal, the location, surrounding uses, policy and zoning overview, and outstanding issues.
Lei Zhang, Archizoning Design Inc., provided a presentation on the proposed development.
Garth Juul made a deputation advising that he had no issue with the lot being severed, but that he would like to see unique designs with a little more character for each of the homes being built.
The Committee provided the following comments relating to the proposed development:
- Suggested that the height of the homes not exceed 9.8 metres;
- Requested that each of the proposed two houses each have a unique design that takes into consideration the proximity of the houses to the Heritage District;
- Requested that Operations look at the intersection of Peter Street and Springdale Avenue prior to the construction of the houses to see if it can be improved, as it currently is like a road intersecting with a driveway rather than a road intersecting with a road.
Mr. Zhang advised that he had submitted new elevations of the houses, which may address some of the Committee’s concerns.
