RECOMMENDATION:
That a Public Meeting be held to consider the plan of subdivision
application submitted by Eastern Creative Group Ltd, to permit 21 townhouse
units and a future semi-detached dwelling on a new public road, and four
mixed-use units at 83 Old Kennedy Road.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report
is to recommend that a Public Meeting be held to consider the plan of
subdivision application submitted by Eastern Creative Group Ltd, to
permit 21 townhouse units and a future semi-detached dwelling on a new public
road, and four mixed-use units at 83 Old Kennedy Road.
BACKGROUND:
Subject lands and area context
The subject lands comprise approximately 0.67 hectares (1.66 acres) at 83
Old Kennedy Road (see Figure 1) within the Milliken
Main Street study area. The proposed plan of subdivision supports the
zoning by-law application outlined in a Preliminary Report dated April
22, 2003 (attached as Appendix A) and considered at a Public
Meeting on July 7, 2003.
At the time of the Public Meeting, the proposed development was to be
condominium tenure. The applicant has
since revised the application to provide for 21 freehold townhouses and a
future semi-detached dwelling on a new public road, which requires a plan of
subdivision (see Figure 2 attached). No
changes have been made to the proposed four mixed-use units fronting Old Kennedy Road.
DISCUSSION:
Many of the issues identified in the attached Preliminary Report have
been addressed. The proposed subdivision
is in keeping with the proposed Secondary Plan for the Milliken Main Street study area, and staff have
been working with the applicant regarding site layout, provision of adequate
parking, etc. Financial contribution
with respect to an area-specific development charge by-law,
and water allocation are still to be resolved.
At the July 7, 2003 Public Meeting
comments were made in support of the revitalization of the Milliken Main Street area, but concerns were also expressed with respect
to increased density, traffic, street lighting and the provision of transit and
parks. These comments will be addressed
in a recommendation report for the zoning and subdivision applications which
will be brought forward following the Public Meeting for the subdivision
application.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
None at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
None at this time.
ACCESSIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS:
None at this time.
BUSINESS UNITS CONSULTED AND AFFECTED:
All Town departments and external
agencies have been circulated with the subdivision application and all comments
will be considered in a final report.
