ANALYSIS : SubjectPropertyandNeighbourhood ThesubjectpropertyissituatedbetweenBoyanerandWyattCrescentsandGrandviewAvenueon bothsidesofHeatherWay(seeattachedlocationmap). Thesiteismostlycoveredwithmature evergreensandrockoutcropping. Thepropertyhasatotalareaof20hectares(49acres)andis comprisedofsixparcelsofland.Allthepropertiesareownedbythedeveloper(HarttoHart BuildersInc.),exceptfora3.1metre(10foot)wideLocalCommonapproximatelymidway betweenWyattCrescentandGrandviewAvenue.

Thelands totheimmediatesouthontheoppositesideofGrandviewAvenuehaveremainedundeveloped. DevelopmentProposal Thedeveloperisproposingtocarryoutaresidentialsubdivisionconsistingofapproximately145 servicedresidentiallotsalongtennewpublicstreets(seesubmittedHarttoHarttentative subdivisionplan). Theexistingandproposedzoningwouldpermittheconstructionofoneand two-familydwellings,thoughrecentmediacoverageoftheprojectssuggeststhedeveloperis primarilyinterestedinconstructingone-familydetachedhomes. 343 HarttoHartSubdivisionPage7 50&51HeatherWayFebruary22,2008 TheproposedsubdivisiondesigncansatisfyallapplicableSubdivisionandZoningBy-law requirementsexceptasfurtherdiscussedinthisreport.Mostoftheanticipatedtrafficwouldbe directedontoHeatherWay. TherewouldbetwonewstreetsconnectingtoWyattCrescent,one streetconnectingtoGrandviewAvenue,andthreenewresidentiallotsabuttingBoyanerCrescent. TheprojectalsoinvolvesdedicationsofLandforPublicPurposesfurtherexplainedinthisreport. DevelopmentSchemeAmendmentandRezoningRequest In1970theFederalandProvincialGovernmentsjointlypurchasedapproximately283hectares (700acres)oflandbetweenGrandviewAvenueandHickeyRoadin EastSaintJohn.Atthattime themainobjectivewastoincreasetheavailabilityofservicedlandforlowincomefamilies. To meetthisobjectiveitwasdecidedthatthenormaldevelopmentstandardswouldbeabandonfor new,innovativeconceptsthatoffereddesignefficienciesandcostsavingstotheintendedmarket group. AsprovidedinSection32oftheCommunityPlanning Actthisinitiativewasembodiedinthe SaintJohnDevelopmentScheme. Thevarietyandflexibilityofthesubdivision,sitedevelopment, andbuildingdesigncanbeseenintheneighbourhoodsofBoyanerandWyattCrescent(pleasesee attachedconceptsiteplansfromtheSaintJohn EastDevelopmentPlan). Similartootherrecentdevelopers,however,theproponentisrequestingpermissiontopursuea housingprojectundertheconventionalstandardsoftheCity?sSubdivisionandZoningBy-laws (seeattachedHarttoHarttentativesubdivisionplan). ?RS-2?Oneand Thedeveloperisalsoseekingpermissiontorezonethesubjectpropertyfrom TwoFamilySuburbanResidential?R-2?Oneand TwoFamilyResidential to.Whileeither zonepermitsoneortwo-familydwellings,theproposednewzonewouldbemoreappropriatefor urbandevelopment,requiringaminimumlotareaandwidththatisapproximately20%lessthan theexistingsuburbanzoning. TheproposedlotswouldstillbelargerthanthelotsalongBoyaner andWyattCrescents.Infact,mostoftheanticipatedlotsexceedthe?R-2?minimumstandards (exceptforfivelotsrequiringvariancesrelatingtolotdepthandwidth?seenextsectionofthis report). TheMunicipalDevelopmentPlanhasdesignatedthegeneralareaasLowDensity Residential. Thisdesignationpermitstheconstructionofone,two,andmultiplefamilydwellingsand townhousesprovidedtheyarecompatiblewithexistingneighbourhoods.Giventhecompatibility oftheproposedsubdivisionwiththeexistingarea,andconsistentwithsimilarapplications approvedforothersubdivisionapplicationsinrecentyears,therequesttoremovethesubject landsfromtheDevelopmentSchemeandrezonethesameto?R-2?canberecommendedfor approval. RequestedSubdivisionandZoningBy-lawVariances 344 HarttoHartSubdivisionPage8 50&51HeatherWayFebruary22,2008 Theproposed?R-2?Oneand TwoFamilyResidentialzonerequiresaminimumlotareaof550 squaremetres(5,920squarefeet),aminimumlotwidthof18metres(59feet)or21metres(69 feet)inthecaseofcornerlots,andaminimumlotdepthof30metres(100feet). Theseminimum lotstandardsarelargerthanthe?R-1B?OneFamilyResidentialzoningforthedeveloping EastwoodSubdivisionfurthernorth,andsignificantlylargerthanthepropertiesdevelopedalong BoyanerandWyattCrescentsundertheDevelopmentScheme. Theareaofalltheproposedlotsexceedtheminimumstandardoftheproposedzone,andmost exceedthewidthanddepthrequirements.Inaddition,thedesignofthenewstreetnetworkcan almostcompletelysatisfytherequirementsoftheSubdivisionBy-law.However,therearecertain By-lawdeficienciesnecessaryfortheoveralltentativesubdivisionplan. Theyinclude: (a)Theallowanceafourwayintersection(i.e.,PacificAvenue,AppletonStreet,&Lady Court)withinanewresidentialsubdivisionwhenonly T-intersectionsarepermitted; (b)Thereductionoftheminimumturnarounddiameterstandardof37.5metres(124feet)to approximately35metres(115feet)forproposedLadyCourt; (c)Thereductionoftheminimumstreetintersectionseparationdistancestandardof60 metres(200feet)toapproximately44metres(144feet)and30.5metres(100feet)forthe intersectionsofPacificAvenueandHartAvenueontoHeatherWay&LadyCourt andAppletonStreetontoHeatherWayrespectively; (d)Thereductionoftheminimumlotdepthrequirementof30metres(100feet)to approximatedepthsof22metres(72feet)orgreaterforproposedLots50,97& 110;and (e)Thereductionoftheminimumlotwidthrequirementof21metres(69feet)to approximatewidthsof20metres(66feet)orgreaterfortheproposedcornerLots20& 145. Withrespecttothestreetdesign,MunicipalOperationsand Engineering(TrafficDivision)has carefullyconsideredtheproposedintersectionsandhasadvisedthattheyareacceptable.In particular,afourwayintersectionwithPacificAvenue,HartAvenueandHeatherWaywas examined,butsuchanintersectionwouldrequiretrafficlights. Theproposed T-intersections wouldbetterfacilitatetrafficflowalongthisboulevard. Theproposedintersectionshave sufficientdistancetoaccommodatetheturningofvehicles. Withrespecttothevariancesbeingsoughtrelatingtolotdepthandwidth,thesevariancesare seenasratherminorinnature,andeachofthefivelotsinquestionhavemorethanadequatespace toaccommodatetheconstructionofamoderndwelling.
