applicant – advising that his client agrees with the “Conclusion” section of
the Civic Administration’s report; expressing four issues of concern in the
Civic Administration’s report; reading the second bullet point under
“Additional Transportation Comments (January 25, 2013)”; advising that the
stairs are accessed by the north and south sides of the building; noting that
there is a patio in this area; advising that there is no doubt that the
church built the stairs on city property; advising that the structure has
been there for a long time, presumably with the City’s permission; indicating
that the Civic Administration would like to remove the stairs and patio area
for bus rapid transit; indicating that bus rapid transit is important;
however, it is premature to have such an impact on this building; indicating
that there is no need for the holding provision for the stairs; noting that
the City owns the land; advising that the final design of the bus rapid
transit on Richmond Street has not been completed; recommending that, 20 to
30 years from now, if the members of the Planning and Environment Committee
are still on Council, that they have a bunker to hide in as the residents of
Richmond Street are not going to be happy with the removal of their trees for
bus rapid transit; reading the first bullet point under “Additional
Transportation Comments (January 25, 2013)”; advising that Richmond Street is
four lanes and enquiring as to what kind of median would be installed;
advising that rights-in and rights-out onto Richmond Street are legal;
advising that there is no proposal to restrict left turns onto Sherwood
Avenue; indicating that, in the proposed by-law, the Civic Administration
gets prescriptive; advising that the first unit and the east end shown on the
proposed layout in the Civic Administration’s report is shown as a four
bedroom apartment; noting that the proposed apartment will be approximately
1800 square feet, which is a luxury apartment and the patio will be included
for the tenants of the apartment to use; noting that the proposed second four
bedroom apartment will be the same layout and be located above the four
bedroom apartment on the first floor; stating that Trudeau once commented
that “the state has no business in people’s bedrooms”; advising that the
expected tenants would be nurses, professionals and business owners along
Richmond Street; advising that the church parishioners parked in the parking
lot behind the church; indicating that there are 20 parking spaces for
fourteen units; noting that the ratio of parking spots to units in this area
of the City is one to one; indicating that the property is within easy
walking distance to the University, the hospital and businesses; advising
that they are meeting the parking standards established by the City; advising
that the residence located at 1057 Richmond Street is not a well-kept
building; noting that it has been a student residence for a long time;
advising that the original proposal was to turn the building into
offices and the property located at 203 Sherwood Avenue would be used
for parking; indicating that when the development at 1057, 1059 and 1061
Richmond Street is completed, the property located at 203 Sherwood Avenue will
be listed for sale; and requesting that the Zoning By-law be implemented with
two changes, namely, the inclusion of two four bedroom apartments and the
removal of the holding provision; advising that the garbage will be stored
internally and picked up by the City on the assigned day; indicating that his
client is willing to restrict vehicular traffic onto the laneway at the end
of his parking lot; advising that the incline on the laneway starts well west
of his clients’ property; advising that the laneway does not deal with the
function or safety of the proposed development; and advising that it is an
increase in one unit, not 10%.
· Jeff Gard, 204 Victoria Street – indicating that his property
abuts 203 Sherwood Avenue; advising that he has had a bit of experience with
laneways; indicating that the laneway from Victoria Street to Cheapside
Street is a private laneway; noting that there is no verbage on the
registered plan for the laneway between Sherwood Avenue and Victoria Street;
advising that, prior to 2002, the City was listed as the owner of the
laneway; indicating that there was a huge fight with the church when they
wanted to install the stairs in 2000/2001; expressing concern with the effect
of the development on the laneway; noting that the laneway is in horrific
shape, is not maintained by the City and that gravel from the laneway runs on
to the sidewalk; and enquiring as to whether the City is going to take
responsibility when the sewers break because of the increased traffic.
· Helen Luckman, 1069 Richmond Street – advising that she has
resided in her house since 1973; noting that she previously lived at 203
Sherwood Avenue; indicating that they were relative newcomers and were
welcomed by their neighbours; reading item seven under “Rationale” in the
Civic Administration’s report; emphasizing the words “while maintaining the
character of the abutting residential neighbourhood”; suggesting that the
living space in each of the units could be enlarged to have the number of
units equal the number of parking spaces; hoping that the developer sees the
comments in a constructive manner; and hoping that this building can become a
creative, attractive and novel destination in Old North.
· Steve Harris, 201 Sherwood Avenue – expressing concern with the
dramatic increase in traffic; indicating that 10 of the 13 homes along
Sherwood Avenue are owner occupied; indicating that the development will
double traffic and tax the laneway; advising that laneway is one way;
