1. TDL GROUP, 8801 WOODBINE AVENUE

SITE PLAN APPLICATION FOR A TIM HORTON'S

(SC 02 119098) (10.6) (16.14)

The Unionville Subcommittee met with representatives of TDL Group, to discuss site plan details regarding the Tim Horton's proposed for 8801 Woodbine Avenue, as directed by Development Services Committee on May 6, 2003.

Mr. Bodrug presented updated site plans. He discussed building location criteria set out in Section 4.4 of the Woodbine Corridor Guidelines, advising that the building could not be sited to define the street corner, however the applicant would be willing to provide the decorative corner defining walls as indicated in the guidelines.

Committee discussed pedestrian safety issues, the location of pedestrian connections, and reviewed prior plan submissions that aligned the building with the Woodbine Avenue frontage. All present acknowledged that one drive-through lane around the front of the building could not be avoided.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the applicant continue to work with staff to refine the diagonal building location proposal and to bring forward a prior alternative submission that aligns the structure to the Woodbine Avenue frontage, to achieve the best possible pedestrian safety features and landscaping as part of site plan application File SC 02 119098, submitted by TDL Group for a Tim Horton’s/Wendy's restaurant at 8801 Woodbine Avenue;

And that a further Unionville Subcommittee meeting be held to review improvements to the plans, and determine a preferred direction.
