Mary-Ellen Wood, Planner, provided an overview of the application and staff’s rationale for recommending approval. A copy of her PowerPoint presentation is held on file with the City Clerk.

 

Committee heard from the following public delegations:

 

Michael Lakatos, was opposed to the development as proposed.  He expressed three concerns, summarized as follows:  Firstly, he was concerned that the development would cast shadow on the Children’s play area in Mulligan Park.  He was also concerned with the fact that Mulligan Park would now have to support an additional 221 homes, over and above the other high-density developments going into the area.  He suggested the park was not sufficient to support the growing community, and suggested the subject site would be more beneficial to the community if it were parkland.  He also expressed concern with respect to traffic, and surmised that the developer’s initial traffic study had not been updated to reflect subsequent new development in the area.

 

Elsa Gebremeskel, Danielle Soum and Marta Garcia Grandpierre also registered their opposition to the report recommendations.

 

Miguel Tremblay, FoTenn Consultants,* spoke in support of the report recommendation on behalf of the applicant. His PowerPoint presentation included overview of available amenities in the area, including parkland. He noted cash-in-lieu of parkland would be provided as part of Site Plan.  He confirmed that a traffic study had been completed and approved by staff, with the most recent addendum in May 2011 responding to community concerns. He confirmed that a Site Plan Control application had been submitted, and noted the modifications that the developer had made in response to community concerns, including a reduction in units and heights. 

 

*Presentation and/or comments held on file with the City Clerk

 

The report recommendations were put to Committee and CARRIED, as presented.

REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Planning Committee recommend Council approve the closure of the segment of Burgess Avenue, located west of Pulford Crescent.

 

Natalie Persaud, Planner, provided an overview of the staff report and recommendation.  A copy of her PowerPoint presentation is held on file with the City Clerk.

 

Committee heard from one public delegation. Gary Green, resident of Pulford Crescent, was opposed to the staff recommendation.  He opposed the addition of the road allowance to the 11 Burgess avenue property and the sale of that property for development. He suggested the increased lot size would make it more desirable for developers to build a multiple-unit dwelling. He also referenced a public meeting held prior to the City’s acquisition of the Burgess Avenue properties for Transitway construction, indicating residents were assured that after construction, the properties would be landscaped parkland and there would be no residential development on the properties. He spoke to the adverse effect of the pre-construction and construction period on the neighbourhood.

 

The report recommendation was put to Committee and CARRIED, as presented.
