·                     Dan Foster, 509-1030 Coronation Drive – indicating that he recently moved to London from Ottawa; indicating that, after seeing the development in Ottawa, there is a message for City of London Planners; advising that the message is that, in that taking the individual zoning requests on a case by case basis, they all make sense; advising that they all incrementally add a little bit of traffic; indicating that there are safety issues that need to be addressed now; noting that Hyde Park Road will be developed by 2015; advising that there is no stop light on South Carriage Road; indicating that he does not see how people move around in this subdivision; noting as an example, that to the west of their building, Tricar had originally received zoning to build a building complimentary to their building; advising that there is a woodlot, from their point of view, right where Coronation Drive stops; indicating that there are turkeys and deer in the woodlot even though it has not been deemed significant; enquiring as to when the City advises them of what the plan is for Coronation Drive; hearing nothing about making South Carriage Drive safer today; advising that every time he tries to get out of the laneway, he takes his life into his hands; advising that it is an accident waiting to happen; indicating that this is all hours of the day, not just 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM; indicating that if he was a resident living in the rest of the subdivision, he would wonder why, when the residents of 1030 Coronation Drive want to come west, they come through their subdivision; indicating that that seems like a pretty poor plan; noting that there are traffic calming measures in that subdivision, including a traffic circle; advising that there are all kinds of kids running through there; admitting that he does not feel comfortable driving through the subdivision or even going out Wonderland Road South, towards the University; advising that if he takes Coronation Drive out, he has a 10 minute wait and he is taking his life into his hands; indicating that the site plan makes sense by putting the building in the back of the lot; advising that the residents at 1030 Coronation Drive should have some input into the detailed planning of the services; indicating that the applicant has done a good job angling the apartments so that the people living there will have unobstructed views all the time but they have obstructed their views and he lives on that side of the building; understanding the density issues, but he does not want to have to listen to all the noise of people moving in and out of the units and garbage collection; indicating that the applicant needs to do a better job of setting garbage collection on the other side so that it lines up with the commercial nature which is in and out anyway; noting that, if the garbage collection area is moved, the applicant would not have to worry about a berm; and requesting that the staff figure out what they doing with Coronation Drive and make that raceway complete.

·                     Donna Szpakowski, Chair, Hyde Park Business Association – expressing support for the zoning amendment from Urban Reserve to High Density as this property was already identified as being high density in the 1999 Hyde Park Community Plan; noting that this supports the Hyde Park Community Plan, which was created with over 600 residents involved; indicating that the Hyde Park Community Plan speaks to increasing the residential population in the Hyde Park hamlet, which supports the growth and sustenance of local businesses in the area; expressing support for the holding provisions that Councillor M. Brown will be putting forward tonight as they pertains to the commencement of construction for these lands; hoping that a holding provision will be added for the 2014-2015 Hyde Park Road widening and its impact on residents, businesses, vehicles, pedestrians and safety, along with existing road safety concerns that they have attempted to lobby for; advising that, at this time, Hyde Park Road does not have the infrastructure to logistically or safely sustain traffic due to construction or increased residential counts until the Hyde Park Road widening has been completed and there is a loop that takes people off of Hyde Park Road and Gainsborough Road; expressing agreement with the comments made by Mr. D. Foster that the community is very involved in how access is gained, how noise is handled and such large additions to their community; indicating that Hyde Park’s character and vision was built into the Community Plan and the Hyde Park Business Association maintains that the hamlet of Hyde Park, which they envision as east and west along Gainsborough Road would be compromised by more than three high rises with the lands to be designated high density now or in the future within the hamlet; and advising that what they are asking is that if they have to have three high rises, that for the sake of the hamlet and for the sake of the visioning of the Hyde Park area that it be limited just to three.

·                     Apple Dobbin, 976 Gainsborough Road – expressing concern with the volume of traffic on Hyde Park Road and Gainsborough Road as both roads are very busy now; indicating that, if a new road is going to be added for the two new apartment buildings, it is going to make things much worse; indicating that, if they only have to make turns out and in, it is going to be very troubling to a lot of people; advising that the traffic situation is one that is very essential and has to be looked at very carefully and essentially for all the people who live around that little area; enquiring as to where the road is being installed; and reiterating that the roads are very dangerous for the traffic along Gainsborough Road and Hyde Park Side Road.

·                     Michelle Doornbosch, Zelinka Priamo Ltd., on behalf of Marquis Holdings Inc. – indicating that the dental office is located directly west of the subject site; advising that the building was constructed in 2006; wanting to ensure that the long-term viability of their property is maintained; indicating that, with all the traffic comments that have been made, there has been no mention of the existing entrance into the dental office; indicating that the applicant’s presentation outlines a blocked in entrance to the property directly to the west of the dental office; noting that this is not entirely accurate as the applicant shows the building on the property line; advising that the entrance to the dental office is directly adjacent to the proposed entrance at Gainsborough Road; advising that there is no mention in the staff report or the traffic impact analysis as to how that is to be handled; advising that she met with the developer last week to  outline their concerns; noting that she has not seen any updated plans as to how that is to be addressed; indicating that she does support the h-11 and the h-5 holding provisions to ensure that access can be addressed and this is a public site plan process; advising that she wants to ensure that their clients concerns are addressed through the process; indicating that they looked at the development agreement for the property from 2006; noting that there is provision in it for joint access, but there is no provision to require the existing entrance to close; reiterating that their biggest concern is that the two entrances cannot function as they are shown on the plan; hoping that some revisions can be made so that there are no impacts from this proposed development on the existing traffic patterns to that entrance.    (2013-D14A)

·                    Terry McSpadden, 2257 Trafalgar Street – indicating that this has been the family home since 1955 when it was built; advising that it is the first home to the west of Veterans Memorial Parkway (VMP), on the south side of Trafalgar Street, on the north side of the 3M office building; advising that he understands that the engineering detail is not complete or barely started on the proposed fly over, Trafalgar Street over the VMP for that intersection and that will quite profoundly affect their outlook from the front of their home; expressing concern with noise; advising that when the home was built in 1955, Trafalgar Street was a gravel road and it was a country setting; noting that there was nothing in that area at all but as the city has grown and annexations have occurred, the home is in a situation now far different from when it was built; expressing concern that, now that the VMP has gone from an expressway to a freeway, from the original Highway 100, which was basically a country road, to one of noise; noting that the noise, especially through the evening, is incredibly loud, particularly in motorcycle season; realizing that there has been a lot of discussion about berming along the VMP for the people that live between Trafalgar Street and Admiral Drive; noting that they already have a berm that is probably 15 feet high; further noting that they have nothing; advising that it is so loud at times that they have to stop talking if they are in their backyard; expressing concern with egress from the property; noting that they have no details on this yet as to what might happen and they are often told that this is a 30 to 50 year plan but it seems as if things are moving along much more quickly than anticipated; noting that they are hoping to be kept advised of the process as it goes along; advising that they have been in contact with the Planner; advising that they see their concerns as a diminishment of their family property which is of importance to them because their plans took into account the increasing value of their property and perhaps different uses in the future; advising that, as the city has progressed and enveloped them, the options that they had anticipated some time ago seem to be disappearing; advising that what they would like to do is to continue their conversations with the Planner to see if there is some relief that they can obtain through rezoning or subdivision of their lands, as they own over half an acre of property; expressing appreciation to the Committee for the opportunity to express his concerns; indicating that they are very happy with the roundabout that was installed at Hale Street and Trafalgar Street; advising that the homes on the northeast quadrant of the roundabout have a concrete wall in front of them that is probably 50 to 100 feet in front of their homes and is a barrier which prevents them from having outlook from their property; indicating that, in their case, between a piece of their land being taken away for a right turn lane onto the VMP and the city boundary being 15 to 20 feet in front of their front porch, they anticipate a wall, if you look at where the fly over has to start and where it has to go to, that will meet or exceed the height of the homes at Hale Street and Trafalgar Street; and indicating that they are really concerned at their retirement age on the impact on their retirement resources.  

·                     Michelle Doornbosch, Zelinka Priamo Limited – advising that the plan before the Committee shows the addition of a secondary collector that cuts through the recently approved auto mall, in the subdivision plan that has been approved; advising that three of the dealerships are under construction; indicating that the design of the subdivision does not allow for that collector road to go through; indicating that they are going on record advising that that is a concern and there is no opportunity to connect that road through the subdivision; and noting that it would have to be located further west of the subdivision lands.   (2013-D14A)

d)         the request to amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1 from a Holding Restricted Service Commercial Special   Provision/Light Industrial (h*RSC1(9) /RSC5/LI6) Zone, a Holding Restricted Service Commercial         Special Provision (h*RSC1(9)/RSC3/RSC4(5)/RSC5) Zone, which permits a wide range of service commercial uses such as automobile services, home and auto supply, service repair and light industrial uses and a Commercial Shopping Area (CSA6) Zone, which allows for a large range of commercial uses to an Associated Shopping Area Commercial Special Provision (ASA3/ASA5/ASA6(_)/ASA7(_)/ASA8) Zone and an Open Space (OS1) Zone, to allow for 50,183m² of commercial retail use, 13,564m² of commercial recreational use, 3,921m² cinema use, a gas bar use and a passive recreational use, BE REFUSED for the following reasons:

i)              the requested amendment does not include the holding provisions to ensure the orderly development of the site; a permit from the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority; and the Ministry of Natural Resources being satisfied that the wetland is not considered a Provincially Significant Wetland; and,

ii)             the requested amendment does not include the additional uses as recommended by the Municipal Council;

e)         the Civic Administration BE DIRECTED to determine if there are similar instances where “Unevaluated Vegetation Patches” on Schedule “B-1” of the Official Plan are not shown as “Open Space” or “Environmental Review” on Schedule “A” of the Official Plan, and to initiate an Official Plan Amendment to show these lands as “Open Space” or  “Environmental Review” on Schedule “A” of the Official Plan, noting that this would then make these lands subject to the City’s Tree       Conservation By-law (By-Law C.P.-1466-249);

f)         the Civic Administration BE DIRECTED to work with the Applicant to develop the Natural Heritage Compensation Agreement required by the h(_) holding provision for Municipal Council approval that reflects the natural heritage value of the natural heritage feature to be removed, and is consistent with the compensation achieved through the Sovereign Woods resolution, it being noted that the Natural Heritage Compensation Agreement may include both natural heritage lands and lands that may be planted; and,

g)         pursuant to Section 34(17) of the Planning Act, as determined by the Municipal Council, no further notice BE GIVEN in respect of the proposed by-law as the by-law is consistent with the request of the applicant, is consistent with what was circulated to the public and the changes are minor in nature;

·                     a communication from G. Faul, Lambeth Community Association;

·                     a communication from J. Cuthbert, by e-mail;

Motion made by Councillor J.L. Baechler and seconded by Councillor H.L. Usher to Approve the referral of clause 4 back to the Civic Administration, as the application is premature given the outstanding policy concerns involving the Ministry of Natural Resources surrounding the designation of the wetland, the policies of the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority prohibiting development in a wetland and the lack of an environmental impact study determining how the provincially significant woodland can be protected as a result of a proposed development on adjacent lands; it being further noted that the municipality will hire an ecologist to evaluate the wetland using the Ontario Wetlands Evaluation System.

At 7:14 PM Mayor J.F. Fontana places Councillor P. Van Meerbergen in the Chair and takes a seat at the Council Board.
