of land located at 1515 Loch Lomond Road, having an area of approximately 15
hectares, also identified as PID number 55210413 from "RS -2" One and Two Family

Consideration was also given to a report from the Planning Advisory committee
submitting a copy of planning staff's report considered at its November 15, 2011 meeting
at which the Committee recommended that the proposed rezoning of a parcel of land
located at 1515 Loch Lomond Road as described above be denied.
The Mayor called for members of the public to speak against the amendment with Troy
Hoar of Old Lake Trail stating that the area is not appropriate for duplexes, citing
concerns with the small lot sizes. He indicated that the development would have a
negative effect on home values in the area. He listed the following concerns: traffic
increases; negative effects on area wildlife; and inconsistent with the city's new
municipal plan.
Referring to a submitted presentation, David Fischer of Ganong Road questioned why
the application is before Council again as Council already held a public hearing for this
property only a few months ago. He listed the following concerns: higher density;
increased noise pollution; increases in traffic; and children's safety.
Seamus Hanley of Old Lake Trail expressed concerns with the proposed smaller lot
sizes and increased density. He listed the following concerns: increased traffic; site
drainage concerns; and inconsistent with the proposed new municipal plan.
The Mayor called for members of the public to speak in favour of the amendment with
Andrew Toole of GENIVAR, the consultant representing the developer, advising that he
was in agreement with the Planning staff report. Mr. Toole noted that the developer has
held community meetings and received input from area residents. He explained that the
developer has revised the original development plans to include a tree buffer and
1200 square foot dwellings with 2 car garages.
Gary Vincent, representing the owner, stated that the proposed development would
increase the tax base of the city, noting that 97 lots would be developed with
13 duplexes. He explained that single family homes will represent the majority of the
development, noting that they will be quality dwellings in the $220,000 to $250,000 price
range. He noted that the developer will pay all required infrastructure costs including
water, sewer, and sidewalks.
The Commissioner of Planning stated that this application is entirely consistent with the
existing municipal plan, noting that it is a stage1 serviced area and an area designated
for low density residential development. He explained that the development would be
outside of the designated suburban opportunity area in the proposed new municipal
plan, noting that in both the growth strategy and new municipal plan the potential for infill
development is contemplated. He explained that in the future Council will be required to
use its discretion when determining whether a development would be considered infill,
adding that planning staff consider the current development proposal as infill.
Councillor Farren stated that his main concern regarding the proposed development is
that is appears to be outside the intent of PlanSJ.
Mr. Forrest stated that the "R2" zone has an 18 meter minimum lot frontage requirement,
noting that the applicant has proposed that this be increase to 20 meters.

que le promoteur a organise des reunions communautaires et qu'il a requ des
commentaires de la part des residents de la zone. II explique que le promoteur a revise
les plans d'amenagement originaux en vue d'inclure un ecran d'arbres et des habitations
de 1 200 metres carres comprenant chacune un garage double.
Gary Vincent, representant le proprietaire, declare que le projet d'amenagement
augmenterait I'assiette fiscale de la Ville et it fait remarquer que 13 duplex seraient
amenages sur un ensemble de 97 lots. 11 explique que Ies habitations unifamiliales
representeront la majorite du projet d'amenagement. En outre, it precise qu'il s'agira
d'habitations de qualite dont la fourchette de prix se situe entre 220 000 $ et 250 000 $.
11 fait remarquer que le promoteur paiera tous Ies frais requis associes a l'infrastructure,
y compris 1'eau, Ies egouts et Ies trottoirs.
Le commissaire du service Urbanisme et developpement declare que la demande
respecte entierement le plan d'amenagement en vigueur et precise qu'il s'agit la de la
premiere etape d'une zone viabilisee et d'une zone reservee a I'amenagement
d'habitations residentielles de faible densite. 11 explique que I'amenagement aurait lieu
en dehors du secteur prometteur suburbain designe dans le cadre du nouveau plan
d'amenagement propose. De plus, it souligne que relativement a la strategie de
croissance et au nouveau plan d'amenagement, la possibilite d'amenagement
intercalaire est pleinement envisagee. 11 explique qu'a I'avenir, le conseil devra user de
son pouvoir discretionnaire pour decider si un amenagement doit titre qualifie
d'intercalaire ou non. 11 ajoute que d'apres le personnel d'urbanisme, le projet
d'amenagement actuel est de type intercalaire.
Le conseiller Farren declare que la principale inquietude suscitee par ce projet
d'amenagement tient vraisemblablement au fait que I'amenagement ne cadre pas avec
1'esprit du PlanSJ.

11.3 Contribution to Traffic Light Infrastructure (Councillor Norton)
The Commissioner of Planning and Development advised that the issue of access to
Rothesay Avenue was discussed in 2005 when the Planning Advisory Committee
( "PAC ") considered the retail development described in Councillor Norton's letter.
Mr. Forrest stated that the PAC adopted a condition during the approval process for this
development which states that the developer shall construct the access to the site
including any necessary modifications to the signalized intersection of Rothesay Avenue
and McAllister Drive, in accordance with a detailed plan prepared by the developer and
subject to the approval of the Chief City Engineer or his designate.
Councillor Norton explained that the current property owner recently purchased the
property, noting that those conditions outlined by Mr. Forrest had not completed by the
previous owner when the property was sold.
Mr. Forrest suggested that if the current property owner is seeking some relief from
those conditions that were imposed by the PAC, he should make the appropriate
application to have the matter considered by the PAC.
Ms. Tompkins stated that the conditions imposed by the PAC on the developer follow the
land, noting that when the current owner purchased the property he inherited the
condition. She advised that the proper forum to deal with the matter is through the PAC.
Tim O'Reilly advised that he has been working with the property owner since 2008 to
assist them with a design and to help determine a cost.

sous reserve de I'approbation de l'ingenieur municipal en chef ou de son remplagant.
Le conseiller Norton explique que le proprietaire actuel a tout recemment fait I'acquisition
de la propriete et it precise que Ies conditions soulignees par M. Forrest n'avaient pas
ete respectees par le precedent proprietaire Iorsque celui -ci a vendu la propriete.
M. Forrest suggere que si le proprietaire actuel demande a titre exempte de certaines de
ces conditions imposees par le CCU, it doit en faire la demande pour que le CCU
examine sa requete.
Mme Tompkins declare que Ies conditions imposees au promoteur par le CCU sont
rattachees au terrain et elle stipule que Iorsque le proprietaire actuel a achete la
propriete, it a egalement herite de ces conditions. Elle signale que le recours approprie
pour regler cette question consiste a passer par le CCU.
Tim O'Reilly precise qu'il travaille avec le proprietaire depuis 2008 pour definir une
conception et etablir un cout.
