10. Property located at
433 Hyde Park Road
That, on the recommendation of the Manager, Development Services and Planning Liaison, the following actions be taken with respect to the Site Plan approval application by 1873739 Ontario Ltd. relating to the property located at 433 Hyde Park Road: a) the Approval Authority BE ADVISED that, at the public meeting of the Planning and Environment Committee held with respect to this matter, issues were raised with respect to the following: i) landscaping; ii) traffic and pedestrian safety; iii) loss of privacy; iv) loss of wildlife habitat; v) insufficient parking; and, vi) the height of the buildings; b) the Approval Authority BE ADVISED that the Municipal Council supports the granting of approval of the site plan application, as appended to the staff report dated May 7, 2013, for two (2) townhouse buildings containing nine (9) residential units in total, proposed at 433 Hyde Park Road; and, c) the financing for the project BE APPROVED in accordance with the “Estimated Claims and Revenues Report” provided as Appendix “A” to the associated staff report, dated May 7, 2013; it being pointed out that at the public participation meeting associated with this matter, the following individuals made oral submissions in connection therewith: - Barry McCarthy, #21 – 455 Hyde Park Road – indicating that many of the concerns that were outlined in the staff presentation are concerns that he has; indicating that he has three main issues; advising that he is speaking on behalf of those that are not able to speak, that being the wildlife; noting that there is a wide variety of species living in the area, from the smallest animal to deer; advising that it bothers him that there is no consideration given to preserving the animals habitat; indicating that in 1997, a by-law was adopted relating to maintaining the heights of development within residential areas; expressing concern with the development of a two-storey development in a single storey area; noting that this area of Hyde Park Road is single storey buildings; advising that this is really poor aesthetically; advising that the area consists mostly of seniors; noting that a two-storey development is not compatible with seniors who have problems with stairs; indicating that the most important concern to him is the visual access of the proposed two-storey dwellings into his property; noting that there is not much distance between his property and the proposed properties; also noting that they will have access to his bedroom; further noting that when he is sitting on his deck, he will have the same visual access to their bedroom; advising that young trees are generally planted and that, by the time they are old enough to block visual access, he will not be around; indicating that canopy trees do not have leaves for a long time and that visual access will exist for 6 – 8 months; indicating that there is not enough parking on the west side of Hyde Park Road, as there are ball and soccer games held in the park; indicating that there is not enough parking in the park for parents and they park along Hyde Park Road; expressing concern that a child may dart between parked cars and into traffic; indicating that there is no additional parking proposed with this application; noting that he does not advocate that it be proposed; and advising that, if someone in the new development has more than a couple of guests, those cars will have to be parked on Hyde Park Road as well. - Barbara Richardson, 1128 Mahogany Road - indicating that the development is literally in her backyard; reiterating the comments previously mentioned; indicating that it is a beautiful site with deer and a variety of animals; noting that it is a thoroughly forested area; advising that it is heartbreaking to see more development; indicating that she participated in the zoning debates that happened 10 years ago; advising that, at that time, the residents were assured that only one-floor residences would be built; advising that two-storey buildings are out of character with entire area on Hyde Park Road; expressing concern with the area in general and her privacy and safety; advising that the road into the site will be driving into her windows; noting that a fence has not been proposed; indicating that this will devalue her property, both financially and in her ability to enjoy her property; expressing concern about the swimming pool and the impact of noise potentially coming from the pool; indicating that she previously made a submission; and advising that she would like to reiterate the points made by the previous speaker as it is very risky to put such buildings in this area. - Michelle Doornbosch, Zelinka Priamo Ltd., on behalf of the applicant – providing background on the zoning; noting that the site plan her firm has submitted complies with the current zoning regulations; advising that in 2004, site specific zoning was given to the proposed properties and the properties along Mahogany Road, to ensure that they are sympathetic to the existing residential properties to the west along Mahogany Road; advising that there is an increased rear yard setback and an increased landscaped open space; noting that they have met these requirements; advising that there is a maximum height of 7 metres for these properties and they comply with the maximum height restriction; indicating that there is a balance between the existing condominiums on Hyde Park Road and the existing two storey single family residences along Mahogany Road; and indicating that, along the easterly property line, the applicant will build a 1.8 m board fence as well as installing new landscaping that staff recommended.

12. Properties located
at 3924 and 4128 Colonel Talbot Road (39T-12503/OZ-8052)
That, on the recommendation of the Manager of Development Services and Planning Liaison, the following actions be taken with respect to the appeals by Colonel Talbot Developments Inc., on the neglect by the Municipal Council to make a decision on the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment applications and the failure of the Approval Authority to make a decision on an application for subdivision approval concerning lands located at 3924 and 4138 Colonel Talbot Road: a) the Ontario Municipal Board BE ADVISED that the Municipal Council has reviewed the appeals and determined that a decision to approve the Official Plan amendment, Zoning By-law amendment and draft plan of subdivision applications, at this time, would be premature, and would not be in the public interest for the following reasons: i) the subject lands are located within the area affected by the Southwest Area Plan (OPA 541), which is currently under appeal. Land uses, road alignments and conditions of draft approval cannot be finalized for this plan of subdivision until such time as the land use policies and servicing requirements for the Southwest Area Plan are confirmed; ii) conditions of draft approval cannot be formulated for sanitary servicing since there is no sanitary servicing available to service the proposed plan of subdivision. The Development Charge By-law (By-law C.P.-1473-212) and Growth Management Implementation Strategy, that are currently in effect, do not provide for financing to service the required sanitary works within the 20 year planning period; iii) conditions of draft approval cannot be formulated for stormwater management because a storm/drainage and stormwater management (SWM) servicing Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) is required prior to consideration of this application, to confirm stormwater management requirements for this development and external lands. The Development Charge By-law (By-law C.P.-1473-212) and Growth Management Implementation Strategy, that are currently in effect, do not provide for financing to service the required storm/drainage and SWM works within the 20 year planning period; iv) collector road alignments and conditions of draft approval cannot be finalized for the proposed plan of subdivision until such time as the connecting alignments in the Southwest Area Plan have been confirmed. The collector road alignments in the proposed plan of subdivision are inconsistent with the collector road alignments in the Southwest Area Plan and the Traffic Impact Statement submitted with the revised plan of subdivision application, does not satisfy requirements in the Official Plan Traffic Assessment Guidelines; v) the proposed plan of subdivision is not consistent with the Natural Heritage policies in Section 15 of the Official Plan or the Natural Heritage features delineated in the Southwest Area Plan. The Subject Lands Status Report/Scoped EIS, submitted with the revised application, has not been prepared in accordance with the requirements in Section 15.5 of the Official Plan. Also, the proposed plan of subdivision does not include the pathway corridor alignments as identified in the Bicycle Master Plan; and, vi) based on the deficiencies identified with the proposed plan of subdivision, and the current status of the Southwest Area Plan, the proposed plan of subdivision is not consistent with the provisions in Section 1.6 and 2.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement, and Section 2 of the Planning Act; b) the City Solicitor and Managing Director of Development & Compliance Services and Chief Building Official BE DIRECTED to provide legal and planning representation at the Ontario Municipal Board hearing to support the position of Municipal Council; and, c) the Civic Administration BE REQUESTED to continue discussions with the applicant relating to the application for draft plan of subdivision approval concerning lands located at 3924 and 4138 Colonel Talbot Road; it being pointed out that at the public participation meeting associated with this matter, the following individuals made oral submissions in connection therewith: - Steve Stapleton, Auburn Developments, applicant – see attached presentation. - Carol Wiebe, MHBC Planning Urban Design and Landscape Architecture, on behalf of York Developments – see attached presentation.
