following individuals made oral submissions in connection therewith:
·
M.
Zunti, Sifton Properties Limited – expressing support for the Civic
Administration’s recommendations in the March 19, 2013 Planning and
Environment Committee Agenda; and advising that Sifton Properties Limited
representatives have met with the Civic Administration and understand that
this is a separate application from the South West Area Plan.
·
S.
Zakem, Aird Berlis, on behalf of Sifton Properties Limited - expressing
support for the Civic Administration’s recommendations in the March 19, 2013
Planning and Environment Committee Agenda; expressing concern with the
process; noting that 19 appeals were received for the South West Area Plan;
indicating that part a) of the recommendation in the Civic Administration’s
report, dated March 19, 2013, deals with reconsideration; noting that
Councillors do not want to deal with matters that they have previously dealt
with in the past; advising that the zoning of the Sifton Properties Limited
lands did not change in the South West Area Plan; noting that the Municipal
Council confirmed the existing land use; indicating that if the Planning and
Environment Committee and the Municipal Council wish to approve the Civic
Administration’s recommendation, attachment a) to the original Civic
Administration’s report is the way to go, not the revised pages that were
handed out at the meeting; advising that once an application is deemed to be
complete, the applicant’s planners need to know what their rights are;
indicating that the revised pages would have the Municipal Council amending
the South West Area Plan which would have the application going to the
Ontario Municipal Board; requesting that the Civic Administration amend the
Official Plan and ask the Civic Administration to be consistent with the
amendment; advising that this application may be appealed; indicating that in
part c) of the Civic Administrations recommendation, the Civic Administration
requests that the Zoning By-law be passed at the next Council meeting; noting
that this is not necessary; requesting that the Zoning By-law be adopted at
the same time if the Planning and Environment Committee agrees with him;
noting that the Zoning By-law cannot proceed ahead of the Official Plan;
advising that the Sifton Properties Limited application was completed in
August, 2012; advising that pre-consultation was done in 2010; and,
indicating that they are not sneaking in at the last minute.
·
D.

submission.

indicating that she lived in White Oaks, backing onto a commercial
development, and moved for a reason; noting that they purchased this property
because they were advised that it would remain residential; indicating that
only four or five houses on her street received the notice; and indicating
that they received a notice of the public participation meeting on February
25, 2013, prior to the closing of the request for public comments.
·
Ali
Soufan, President, York Developments – advising that York Developments
submitted an application for a property located on the Wonderland Corridor
prior to the Sifton Properties Limited application; advising that they have
been working with the Civic Administration on this application since 2010;
indicating that they are staying within existing policies; advising that
hearing that someone does not wish to be in the South West Area Plan process
is fancy footwork; advising that all the developers went through a rigorous
process to establish the community plan; and, advising that reconsideration
will skewer the community plan.
·
Natercia
Demelo, 3220 Morgan Avenue – indicating that she was advised that this would
be a quiet area; advising that she is seeing a busier area; indicating that
there are a lot of young families residing on Morgan Avenue; indicating that

that there are no more than 200 homes in this area; indicating that she has
been advised that there will be condominiums built in the area; and advising
that this is the smallest area of homes in London, but they need a Wal-Mart
and Lowe’s; indicating that there will be an increase in the number of
accidents; and advising that this is not fair to area residents.
