CARRIED
25. 1606090 ONTARIO LIMITED, 78 AND 90 LEE
AVENUE
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT AND
DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION
(19TM-05013) TO PERMIT 16
SINGLE DETACHED DWELLINGS
(ZA 05 013080, SU 05 013073)
(10.5, 10.7)
The Chair advised that the
subject of the Public Meeting this date was to consider the proposed plan of
subdivision and Zoning By-law amendment, Files SU 05 013073, ZA 05 013080,
submitted by 1606090 Ontario Limited, to permit 16 single detached dwellings at
78 and 90 Lee Avenue.
Committee was advised that 89
notices were mailed on November 16, 2005, and a Public Meeting sign was
posted on November 15, 2005. Committee received written
submissions from:
1. Frank Minardi, 29 Jimston Drive, in support
2. Arcangelo and Maria Saracino, 45 Eden Avenue, in support
Staff gave a presentation
regarding the proposal, the location, surrounding uses, and outstanding issues.
Staff advised that the proposed lots are smaller in comparison to existing lot
sizes, and that the increased traffic does not require a traffic study. Servicing
allocation for the subdivision may not be available until 2010, so the
applicant proceeded with the severance application as a means of partially
developing the lands in the meantime. If developed by severance, those lots
will be removed from the plan of subdivision. The Committee of Adjustment had
been aware of the plan of subdivision, and staff had advised of concerns for
lot size and compatibility.
Donald C. Hindson,
representing the Applicant, 1606090 Ontario Limited, concurred with the staff
report and advised that a tree preservation plan has been filed. He suggested
that the proposal is compatible with its location at the east end of Lee Avenue, adjacent to the school sites.
Garages at the rear of the lots will not take up frontage space and will allow
for large homes similar to the existing character of home in the neighbourhood.
He noted that the Official Plan permits a density of 6 units per acre, and this
proposal is for 4 units per acre. The owner is prepared to reduce the subdivision
to 12 lots, which will allow expansion of frontage and area of lots.
Committee suggested lining up
the rear lot lines with the existing adjacent lot lines.
Anthony Moncada, 81 Lee Avenue, questioned the process of
developing the four lots fronting on Lee Avenue separately from the rest of the
subdivision. Mr. Moncada had concerns for increased traffic and compatible lot
sizes.
Dale Halliday, 55 Lee Avenue, stated his opinion that the proposed
lots will not be comparable to the size of existing lots, and questioned the
Committee of Adjustment decision permitting the smaller lots. He noted that the
back lots cannot be lined up with the lots on Noble Street.
Hans Benzinger, 93 Lee Avenue, stated his opinion that too many
lots are being created on the subject property.
Anthony Dimilta, 39 Noble
Street, expressed concerns that the area has changed significantly, directly
impacting this well-established neighbourhood and hamlet. He suggested that the
proposed subdivision is not compatible, and that the proposed frontages do not
meet the by-law requirement of 30 metres. He referred to other construction on Lee Avenue that is within the by-law
requirements. Mr. Dimilta displayed photographs illustrating the existing large
lots and widths on Lee Avenue and Noble Street.
Franco DiNorcia, 16 Peel Court, spoke on behalf of many of the
area residents. He referred to a petition signed by the residents, and spoke of
their concerns:
-
Increase in traffic volume
-
Smaller lots will increase the density in the area. The residents want
to preserve the character of the unique hamlet with estate-sized lots.
-
Property values will be impacted. The residents want to protect their
investments. Current construction on the street maintains the 100-ft frontage
and the applicant should not be given special consideration for smaller lots.
-
There are currently problems with the servicing, and the increased usage
will have an unknown effect.
-
The reference to the development’s location at the extreme east side of Lee Avenue is misleading
-
The proposal will adversely affect all the residents on the street, and approval
by the Committee of Adjustment and Council would give preference to one
individual.
Committee discussed lot sizes,
compatibility, traffic issues, and the severance approval by the Committee of
Adjustment. Staff explained the planning process for the development of a
property and advised that the severance decision can still be appealed. Committee
considered if the Town should appeal the decision.
Staff will meet with the
applicant regarding the severance and lot sizes, and will report back to
Committee of the Whole on December 13, 2005 with respect to appealing the
Committee of Adjustment decision. When the application is ready to proceed, a
staff report will be provided to address the issues identified.
Mr. Hindson responded briefly
to comments made, and advised that he will consult with the applicant and
update staff.
The Committee directed that a
Milliken Mills Subcommittee meeting be held with the community at an
appropriate time, and suggested that any member of the public is welcome to
contact staff for further discussions. Staff was directed to provide 120-metre
notification for the Subcommittee meeting, and the public was requested to
leave names with staff to ensure notification.
