PUBLIC MEETINGS:

AMENDMENT APPLICATIONS FOR 4070 DUNDAS STREET AND ADJACENT CITY OF

BURLINGTON SURPLUS ROAD ALLOWANCE ON JACKSON DRIVE FOR NEW

HORIZON HOMES (2185176 ONTARIO INC.)

The Community Development Committee, in accordance with Sections 34 and 51 of the

Planning Act, as amended, held Public Meeting No. 5 on May 9, 2011, to consider application

for Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment applications for 4070 Dundas Street

and adjacent City of Burlington surplus road allowance on Jackson Drive for New Horizon

Homes (2185176 Ontario Inc.). Having considered the oral and written comments from staff and

the delegations, the Community Development committee approved recommendations in


12

Planning and Building Department Report PB-26-11 for consideration by Council, as noted

above.

Staff Overview:

Andrea Smith, Development Planner, Planning and Building Department, provided an overview

of the proposed development planned for the site highlighting some of the design features and

modifications made since the original application. She spoke on the adjacent road closure and

conveyance of city-owned lands. She also addressed the impact of the development on the

neighbourhood and the increased density.

For the purposes of the Planning Act requirements, the following persons made oral submissions:

Robert Bryant, 2982 Jackson Drive expressed concern that the project did not comply

with By-law 2020 in respect to the length of the buildings, reduced setbacks, reductions

in the size of privacy areas, open access at the rear of the privacy areas and reduced

driveway widths. He expressed concern over the „canyon-like‟ appearance and effect of

the buildings, the density, and quality of life and supported a reduction of two units from

the proposal. (35-CD)

Douglas Matthews, 2972 Glover Lane, encouraged the committee to deny the application

on the basis that the proposed development did not meet objectives contained in the

Official Plan from the perspective of preserving the character of the neighbourhood. He

noted that, unlike the existing residences, the new development proposed three storey

buildings with a different style. He spoke to issues of parking and access to mail pick-up

areas and requested that the city not sell the road allowance to the developer. (36-CD)

Jeff Paikin, President of New Horizon Homes addressed questions of Committee

members with respect to the patios and privacy areas of the units. He explained that the

design met planning requirements but also offered sufficient communal space to allow

flexibility for future enhancements and changes to the site at the discretion of the

condominium corporation and future residents. (37-CD)

2020 AMENDMENT APPLICATIONS FOR REZONING 470, 474, 476, 480 AND 486

The Community Development Committee, in accordance with Sections 34 and 51 of the

Planning Act, as amended, held Public Meeting No. 6 on May 9, 2011, to consider application

for Official Plan Amendment No. 85 and By-Law 2020 Amendment Applications For Rezoning

470, 474, 476, 480 and 486 Brock Avenue from H-Drh to Drh-425 for The Molinaro Group.

Having considered the oral and written comments from staff and the delegations, the Community

Development committee approved recommendations in Planning and Building Report PB-31-11

for consideration by Council, as noted above.


13

Staff Overview:

Charles Mulay, Planner, Planning and Building Department, presented the staff report and

indicated that staff supported the application and recommended removal of the holding

designation, approval of the Official Plan Amendment and approval of the rezoning. He spoke

to the location of the proposed development amongst other buildings of similar height and noted

that the proposed development would be 14 storeys. He also explained how the project fit the

principles of good planning.

For the purposes of the Planning Act requirements, the following persons made oral submissions:

Mark Henderson, 479 Burlington Avenue, issued concern over the height of the

development relative to the provisions contained in the Official Plan and the proximity to

single-family residences. He noted concern over traffic and density issues and expressed

the opinion that the city had disregarded public input, feedback and comments received

during consultation sessions on the proposed development. Mr. Henderson indicated that

the public engagement process was insufficient. He stated that he would be satisfied in a

reduction in the height of the building to seven storeys. (38-CD)

Matt Johnston, IBI Group, representing 1804458 Ontario Inc. expressed concern over the

removal of the H-provision implemented to accommodate property accumulation. He

indicated that removal of the H provision would have a detrimental effect on his clients

who owned properties on the subject block and indicated that those properties were not

viable unless they formed part of a larger land assemblage. (39-CD)

Edward Fothergill, president of Fothergill Planning and Development, representing the

Molinaro Group, noted that the applicant was in attendance. He spoke to thoroughness of

the planning process including the public open houses conducted, technical reports and

studies completed and the many counter-balancing issues considered in the planning

process. Mr. Fothergill spoke to the benefits of higher density and requirements for the

city to meet demands of the province‟s growth strategy. He spoke generally on viability

issues for projects on this block relative to the H-provision and noted how density

affected affordability. He expressed the opinion that the remaining lands on the block

were still economically viable and stated that project as presented made good sense from

a planning perspective. (40-CD)

STAFF REMARKS:

Steve Zorbas, Acting General Manager of Development and Infrastructure, spoke to the

restrictions imposed on growth by the urban boundary and acknowledged the extensive efforts
