1. ROY
AND SUSIE HANDAPANGODA
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT
APPLICATION
TO FACILITATE A SEVERANCE AT
16 RIVER BEND ROAD TO CREATE
TWO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
LOTS
(ZA 07 133206) (10.5)
Report Attachment
The Chair advised the subject of the
Public Meeting this date was to consider a Zoning by-law amendment application
submitted by Roy and Susie Handapangoda to facilitate a severance at 16 River
Bend Road to create two single family residential lots (ZA 07 133206).
The Committee Clerk advised that 39 notices were mailed on February 27,
2008, and a Public Meeting sign was posted on February 25, 2008. Seven written submissions were received
regarding this proposal.
Staff gave a presentation regarding the proposal, the location, and
outstanding issues.
Mr. Randal Dickie, PMG
Planning Consultants, addressed the Committee with respect to 16 River Bend Road, advising the buffer area in the
rear of the lots will be less than 10 metres (consistent with other lots in the
area).
The Committee stated that the buffer should be at least 10 metres to
ensure adequate protection of the Rouge
River. Staff advised that the recommendation report
will address the tree preservation, confirm the required size of the buffer with
the TRCA and request the applicant incorporate permeable surfaces within their
proposal.
Mr. Louis Capozzi addressed the Committee with respect to 16
River Bend Road.
He suggested that the proposal should consider a greater front yard set
back (consistent with the area) and maintenance of the mature trees on the
property.
Ms. Annette Sabatini addressed the Committee with respect to 16
River Bend Road stating she is not in support of
the application. She feels this proposal
is not consistent with the neighborhood and is also concerned with the
potential increase in traffic on the street.
There was discussion regarding guidelines that were established
approximately ten years ago for this area of the Town. The Committee suggested that by continuing to
approve applications such as this one, the original minimum lot requirement for
this area is being lost and therefore,the original character of the area is
also being eroded.
Moved by Regional Councillor G. Landon
Seconded by Regional Councillor J. Jones
That the correspondence from Roy & Susie
Handapangoda, June & Ian Morrison, Willi & Erna, Lesley Kelly, Mike
& Nikki Moffet, Janice DeCicco and Glen Baron, be received.

Meeting held on March 18, 2008, with respect to the proposed amendment to

Report Attachment
The Chair advised the subject of the Public

submitted by Shiu Bing Kwan and Chak Suen Kwan to facilitate the creation of
two single family residential lots at 19 Oakcrest Avenue (ZA 07 118576).

submissions were received regarding this proposal.
Staff gave a presentation regarding the proposal, the location, and
outstanding issues.
Mr. Andrew Ferancik, Planning Consultant, provided the Committee with a
diagram showing the various lots on Oakcrest
Avenue. Mr.
Ferancik advised that this application is proposing two 64ft lots and that the
smallest lots on Oakcrest Avenue
are approximately 70ft.
The Committee indicated that they are not in support of this
application as it is not in keeping with the area.
Mr. Dean Vollhoffer, Oakcrest
Road resident, addressed the Committee with
respect to the proposed application for 19 Oakcrest
Avenue stating he is not in support of this
application. He believes that 64 ft frontage
lots will lessen the uniqueness of the neighborhood.
Mr. Larry Dyrst, Oakcrest Road resident, addressed the Committee with
respect to the proposed application for 19 Oakcrest Avenue, stating he is
neither in support or opposition of the application. He suggested that factors other than lot size
should also be considered. Mr. Dyrst
suggested the Town should develop a policy that would permit consistency in the
application/review process.
Mr. Louis Cappozzi, addressed the Committee with respect to the
proposed application for 19 Oakcrest
Avenue stating he is not in support of 64 ft lots
on Oakcrest Avenue.
Councillor Joe Virgilio (Councillor Ward 3) advised he will be
facilitating a meeting to discuss these applications in the very near future.
Staff advised that the guidelines established in 1999 for this area do
not specify any frontage size and that staff will review them and report back
in their recommendation report. The
Committee suggested that a more definitive plan/guideline needs to be
established.
Moved by Regional Councillor G. Landon
Seconded by Mayor F. Scarpitti
