3. PETITION AGAINST THE PARK
ON CONSERVATION RAVINE (6.3)
Petition
Sean Tsao addressed the Committee regarding the park in the
conservation ravine and expressed concerns. His concern is that the park was never shown
on the plan of subdivision when he purchased his home in the current location
that it has been constructed. Mr. Tsao
advised that the plan of subdivision dated July 22, 2014 had the park location
further from the resident’s backyards, and he believes that is where the park
should be located.
Joyce Tsao addressed the Committee relative to the park in the
conservation ravine and expressed concerns.
She is requesting that the park be relocated to a location with easier
access for all residents, and further from the existing resident backyards. Ms. Tsao believes the park has a direct
negative impact on the current residents.
There was discussion regarding whether the current location of the park
is the most suitable location. The
Committee discussed the process of consultation when parks of this size are
being proposed. Staff advised that a
letter was sent to all residents a year prior to the park being constructed,
and no concerns were addressed from residents at that time. Staff pointed out that there is very limited
table land available in this subdivision for a park to be constructed, and the
budget did not include funds to purchase additional lands to construct a park.
Moved by Councillor Amanda Collucci
1) That the petition received from the residents of Valliere
Drive to stop the construction on Percy Reesor be received; and,
2) That the deputations from Sean Tsao and
Joyce Tsao be received; and further,
3) That staff be directed to investigate
if the current location of the park is the most suitable, assign a staff member
to work with the Local Councillor and residents, and report back to a future
Development Services Committee meeting.
