1.         PRELIMINARY REPORT
            NEAMSBY INVESTMENTS INC.
            APPLICATIONS FOR OFFICIAL PLAN

            TO PERMIT A TWO-STOREY BUILDING
            FOR RECREATIONAL AND ATHLETIC PURPOSES

            FILE NOS. OP/ZA 17 148679 (10.3, 10.5)

            Report

           

The Public Meeting this date was to consider an application submitted by Neamsby Investments Inc. for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments to permit a two-storey building for recreational and athletic purposes at 1443 Denison Street (OP/ZA 17 148679).

 

The Committee Clerk advised that 195 notices were mailed on October 18, 2017, and a Public Meeting sign was posted on October 18, 2017. One written submission was received regarding this proposal.

 

Staff gave a presentation regarding the proposal, the location, surrounding uses and outstanding issues. Randy Pettigrew and Jessica Byers, representing the applicant, were in attendance to give a presentation on additional details.

 

The Committee discussed parking requirements and potential shared parking arrangements; liability issues and maintenance responsibilities for the walkway on private property; clearly marking the walkway; the use of permeable pavers and sustainability initiatives including a white roof; accommodation for spectators and tournaments; and, accessible parking locations. It was suggested that the adjacent church be contacted regarding this proposal and potential parking issues.

 

Correspondence from Mr. Wridolin was discussed regarding waste management, and will be addressed in the site plan. Staff noted that the only remaining non-site plan issue is parking, and an update memo could be prepared for Council on this matter prior to passing the By-laws.

 

Mr. Pettigrew advised of potential shared parking arrangements, and that the walkway is covered by general liability insurance, and that snow storage will be addressed in the site plan phase.

 

There were no comments from the audience with respect to this application.
