The Public Meeting this date was to

and site plan application to permit commercial and retail uses and to add a new
building at 9833 and 9855 Highway 48 (ZA 96 128721 & SC 12 122162).
The Committee Clerk advised that 111 notices were mailed on November

submissions was received regarding this proposal.
Staff gave a presentation regarding the proposal, the location,
surrounding uses and outstanding issues. David Johnston of David Johnston
Architect Ltd., representing the applicant, presented a preliminary site plan
and building elevations. The application involves the west half of the property
only.
Annette Cocorovski questioned
the “hazard lands” designation and staff clarified it refers to valley lands
associated with the watercourse. Ms. Cocorovski suggested a Secondary Plan is
required for the area. Staff advised that the Secondary Plan is not necessary
for development to take place.
Donna Bush spoke in opposition, suggesting insufficient
notice was provided. Ms. Bush requested a moratorium be put on development
until the Official Plan and a Secondary Plan are in place. Staff provided clarification
on the proposed use and size of the building.
Karen Rea, representing the Markham Village City
Ratepayers Association spoke in opposition to the proposal with respect to big
box development and the need for urban design and overall comprehensive planning.
The Committee discussed the Official Plan exercise and a potential Secondary
Plan for the area and noted the recent Urban Design and Highway 48 studies. It
was suggested that improvements are required for the design details. Mr.
Johnston responded, suggesting further studies for this site are not necessary.
Staff was directed to report back on development and appropriate studies for
the Highway 48 corridor in early 2013.
