Background
Information
Jim Baird, Commissioner of Development Services, provided background
information.
James Makaruk explained his reasons for appealing the Fence Variance granted

referring to Sections 6.4, 6.5 and 4.3 of the Fence By-law (277-97, as amended)
and displayed site plans and photographs.

discussed the sight triangle, the similarity to lane-based developments, and
comments from surrounding residents.
Bill Wiles, Manager of By-law
Enforcement and Licensing, confirmed that the fence is located properly on the
subject property and the only variance issue is the height. Mr. Wiles discussed
the Heritage review process and the variance approval process, including
consultation with adjoining property owners.
David Porretta, Supervisor, Traffic Operations, stated that staff have
no concerns with traffic and safety issues, and that the fence meets the
required standards.
Anthony Battaglia, subject property owner, responded to questions from

and the height of the fence is required to protect his privacy. Mr. Battaglia
confirmed that the first gate in the fence, closest to the corner, is fixed and
does not open.
Marion Matthias spoke on behalf of Evelin Ellison, Thornhill resident,

AVENUE)
(ZA 11 119446 & SC 11
119447) (10.6)
Report
At the Development Services Committee meeting on October 9, 2012, the
Ward Councillor requested deferral of this matter to allow the residents an
opportunity to review the application.
Jim Baird, Commissioner of Development Services,
provided an update on the public consultation and gave a brief overview of the
proposal.
Anthony Martelli of Greenpark Homes, representing the
applicant, made a presentation regarding the proposal and discussed the density
and features of the development.
The Committee discussed the Heritage building and the walkways
between the buildings. Staff will review the potential for an additional
walkway and provide an update. The Committee referred to written submissions
from the residents.
Concern was expressed for environmental issues with
respect to the impacts to Swan Lake, including how the bird nesting season
would be monitored. A peer review of the Environmental Impact Study submitted
by the applicant was requested by the Committee. Mr. Martelli and Caroline
Baskin, Environmental Consultant, discussed the findings of the EIS, and the
buffer and other measures to protect Swan Lake. They advised that there are no
other significant natural heritage features on the property, and the EIS was in
relation to Swan Lake. Staff advised that TRCA has indicated no comment on the
application as Swan Lake is a former gravel pit, not a natural lake feature.
Mr. Martelli reviewed the greenspace and parkland
being provided. Staff advised that a slight shortfall in parkland dedication will
be covered by a cash-in-lieu payment. Parkland is being provided in the area
through the Developers Group Agreement.
The Committee considered the amount of intensification
in the area and the impacts on the residents. The Ward Councillor indicated that
the applicant had been requested to consider a long-term deferral or to reduce
the number of units. Mr. Martelli responded that the proposal is at the low
range of permitted density and that a long-term deferral would not be supported
by the applicant.
Donna Bush expressed appreciation to Council for
recognizing the importance of this area, and commented on the public
consultation process, and the need for parkland and wider roads. Concerns
included the traffic study findings, parking, and protection of the lake.
Karen Rea noted concerns for parking, traffic
congestion, and density, and suggested that the Secondary Plan be reviewed.
William Lam referred to a petition from the residents
on his street, Forest Valley Road (forming part of a petition submitted by Alex
Hardy) in opposition to the proposal. Mr. Lam displayed photos of the Swan Lake
area and expressed concern for the density, parkland, traffic, and the impacts
of development on the lake.
Alex Hardy, representing the Markham Residents for
Responsible Community Planning thanked staff and the developer for their cooperation,
and noted concerns for the high density and traffic demands, and the need for
public hearings, additional studies, and revisions to the Official plan and
Secondary Plan. Mr. Hardy presented a petition in opposition, outlining their demands.
Annette Cacorovski questioned the findings of the EIS.
The Committee indicated a peer review should be required, and the results would
be shared with the residents.
The applicant’s Traffic Consultant responded to
comments regarding the trumpet-throat island, and confirmed that surrounding
development sites, including the proposed mosque, were incorporated into the
study. In response to questions, staff confirmed that the density had been
approved in 1995.
Mr. Martelli responded to comments made by residents
and stated that the applicant does not intent to impact or impede the lake, and
will provide a pathway around the lake. Grading and servicing will ensure there
is no drainage into the lake. Mr. Martelli indicated agreement to the peer
review of the EIS.
The Committee considered options going forward and
suggested a further deferral to work on solutions. Mr. Martelli agreed to a
short deferral to define the parameters and objectives for working out
solutions within a reasonable time. The residents indicated agreement.
Moved by: Councillor Valerie Burke
Seconded by: Councillor Carolina Moretti
That a peer review be performed on the Environmental
Impact Study submitted by the applicant, prior to final site plan agreement and
approval for Stargrande Custom Homes
at 6330 16th Avenue.

Peter Miasek, representing the Unionville Ratepayers Association, expressed
concern for the Public Meeting process. Mr. Miasek spoke in opposition, stating
concerns with the unit count which is twice the amount approved by the OMB in

William Leung’s statement in opposition was read by Tom Zigomanis,
expressing concern for the potential increase in traffic congestion caused by
the increase in density.
Phillip Lau spoke in opposition and stated concern for the impact of the
increased population on schools and children in the neighbourhood.
Randy Thummel spoke in opposition with respect to the lack of public
transit for students and residents. He referred to newspaper articles quoting
Council members regarding transit priorities.
Zina Maher spoke in opposition with respect to the high density, lack
of due process and previous OMB decisions. Ms. Maher discussed the
determination that the application was deemed complete in 2011, the deferral of
the Public Meeting until the traffic study was updated, and the lack of notice
for the OMB pre-hearing.
Karen Gullason spoke in opposition and expressed concern for the involvement
of the Ward Councillor with respect to holding Public Meetings and ensuring the
residents were kept informed.
Tom Zigomanis spoke in opposition with respect to the density and
traffic congestion. Mr. Zigomanis discussed the previous OMB decision regarding

photo of the Ellington Place condos, intended to be the model for the height
and density in the area.
Mohamed Maherali spoke in opposition, with respect to density, traffic
congestion, the lack of public transit and increased unit counts, including commercial
units. Mr. Maherali suggested improvements to the approval process, and
requested a thorough traffic study be submitted and made available to the
residents.
Goran Mihajlovic spoke in opposition and displayed area plans of the road
network, and photos illustrating backed-up traffic along Highway 7 and
on-street parking. Mr. Mihajlovic questioned the traffic study conclusions with
respect to the anticipated congestion. Staff clarified that the internal roads
are intended to connect to Village Parkway and the Committee noted the
completion of Birchmount Drive will help to alleviate traffic.
Al Shaver spoke in opposition and discussed growth policies and with
respect to increased density. Mr. Shaver suggested that adhering to the approved
plans would ease traffic problems.
The Committee acknowledged the comments regarding the process and community
meetings, and advised that it was the applicant’s decision to go directly to
the OMB. With respect to the notice to the residents for the OMB hearing, the
City Solicitor read from the OMB statement that no discrepancy had been found
in the affidavit of service.
Staff provided clarification on issues relating to the determination of
the complete application, the submission of required studies and delays caused
by re-submission and peer review, and the timing for appeal to the OMB. It was
noted that the City can recommend the OMB hold an evening session to receive
public input.
The Committee discussed the need for family-sized units, transit
service, and a coordinated architectural theme for Highway 7, including
transitions from single to high-rise buildings. It was suggested that a meeting
