Discussions and concerns included:

- safety for pedestrians and children

- loitering at night

- fire hazards

- increased litter from the fast-food restaurant

- odours from garbage

- attracting raccoons

- light pollution

- loss of privacy - residents can see inside medical building windows

- overflow parking on Southdale Road

- noise from traffic, garbage collection, loading/delivery traffic in rear laneway, roof-top heating/air, in close proximity to the bedroom windows of the residences

- gridlock, driver stress and reduced driver visibility

- traffic studies should include all three nearby intersections, not just the main Highway 7 and McCowan Road intersection

- increased turnover of residential property owners impacts the neighbourhood cohesiveness

- impact on property values - it was suggested they may decrease 30% - 40%

- questions about the rationale for the proposed expansion, and the need for another fast-food

  restaurant

- precedent of permitting residential properties in the area to be converted to commercial use

- residents have had to continually fight against developers in this area

- Official Plan has been established, and should not be changed

- potential of proposal being approved by OMB if Council denies it

- prior OMB decisions regarding this property directed the subject residential component be established to provide buffering between the commercial and residential uses

- development in the area should be similar to Main Streets Unionville and Markham with a focus on pedestrian traffic, not a focus on driving and parking

- the proposed development would be detrimental to the neighbourhood, and would have a negative impact on their way of life, enjoyment of their homes, and property values.

 

Staff explained the obligation of the Town to process submitted development applications, and that the next step in the process will be for staff to prepare a report for the Committee, addressing the concerns identified. The traffic flow for the proposed fast-food restaurant was illustrated.

 

Committee observed that the plaza requires refreshing, and made suggestions and comments with respect to garbage storage and pickup; architectural impact on the arterial road; and, feasibility of the underground parking lot and of relocating the access.

 

The Ward Councillor advised he will ensure the leaders of the community groups are notified when the staff report is scheduled to be presented to the Committee, approximately early 2004.
