D 1. Report from A. Parsons, Acting Manager, Development Services, and N. Grady, Development Planner, Planning, Design and Development, dated March 10, 2010, re: Application to Amend the Official Plan – Gagnon & Law Urban Planners Ltd. – Sequoia (Walnut Grove) Ltd . East side of Upper Churchville Road and North of Steeles Avenue West – Ward 6 (File C03W02.005).
Members of the public present requested a presentation on this item.
Marc DeNardis, Gagnon & Law Urban Planners Ltd., presented the proposal to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the development of 70 detached residential lots at the subject site. He explained that a public meeting was previsously held on March 2, 2009 proposing 102 detached lots for the site. Additional lands were acquired
2010 04 07 Page 5 of 43
MINUTES Planning, Design and Development Committee
on Upper Churchville Road and the proposal was revised. Mr. DeNardis described the proposal as upscale with a variety of styles, lot sizes and building elevations with access being proposed from Churchville Road. He advised that these are the only lands within the Block Plan 45-6 being developed and that the density is consistent with the Credit Valley Secondary Plan.
Neal Grady, Development Planner, City of Brampton, provided details of the current land use designation for the subject site and confirmed that the proposal is consistent with the Secondary Plan policies. He advised that an Official Plan amendment is required to establish policies for the Sub- Area 45-6 Block Plan to facilitate the proposal. The lands are zoned agricultural and a residential zoning is required to facilitate the proposal. The applicant has submitted several studies in support of the proposal which is still under review. These studies will be considered by staff in a future recommendation report to Committee.
Following the presentations, comments were provided as follows:
Jean Jamieson, 8227 Creditview Road, Brampton, stressed the need for compatibility of a future community with the existing community which she described as a ‘core community’. Ms. Jamieson stated that the existing community is a “tight knit” neighbourhood with strong social relations among its residents, and that the subject proposal does not blend in with these special attributes. She is concerned about increased traffic and access to the proposed development. She commented that the existing roads cannot accommodate the traffic volume that this proposal and future developments will generate in the area. She put forward potential areas of difficulty including the left turn from Churchville Road onto the existing single lane heritage bridge, and the ability of the existing Churchville Road and Steeles Avenue intersection to accommodate volumes. She stated that the area is regularly used for recreational purposes, such as walking and biking, and safety will become an issue with the additional traffic.
Lori and Glenn Ross, 8209 Churchville Road, Brampton, stated that the addition of 70 homes in the area will create a dramatic change to the community. They consider the area to be unique given the abundance of wildlife and natural vegetation and the presence of the Credit River. The expressed concerns that another community may not blend with the existing community due to the scale and character of the proposed development. They suggested that a transition from the existing residences would be more appropriate with bungalows on larger lots built next to the existing homes. Appropriate setbacks, berming, fencing and landscaping were requested to ensure the existing quality of life is maintained by the community. They are concerned about the pond, wildlife, mature trees, and the natural environment in the area. Concerns were expressed with respect to traffic safety given the potential increased
2010 04 07 Page 6 of 43
MINUTES Planning, Design and Development Committee
traffic on Churchville Road and Creditview Road. They requested that the road be configured so that the subdivision exit onto James Potter Road and not Churchville Road. The intersection of Walnut Road and Churchville Road is not positioned to accommodate the volume of traffic that this proposal will generate in the area. Pedestrian safety is also a concern as there are no sidewalks on Churchville Road or Creditview Road. They noted that they had previously submitted their concerns in writing to staff.
Larry Shred, 8201 Churchville Road, Brampton, stated that the subject proposal is not compatible with the existing community. He suggested that single family bungalows would be more appropriate for the area. He commented that Churchville Road and Creditview Road are narrow, country roads with no sidewalks or boulevards making them unsafe for pedestrians or any kind of recreational activity. He questioned whether there were any provisions in the proposal for a park or playground for the children who would be moving into the community. He commented that the area is unique and he did not want to see it destroyed. He suggested that a visit to the neighbourhood by Committee would be much appreciated by the community. He also expressed concerns regarding children walking on the railway tracks on their way to public transit.
Shawn Dandiwal, 8245 Walnut Road, Brampton, was of the opinion that the subject proposal is superior to the previous proposal with larger lots that will complement the area. He advised that he has lived at that location since 2001 and felt that the prospective residents will blend with the existing community.
George Kee, 8261 Walnut Road, Brampton, stated that his primary concern is the manner in which the proposal is being rushed. Safety at the intersection of Walnut Road and Churchville is also a concern because of the unexpected drop in the grading level. He suggested that staff review the road configuration at that intersection. He questioned whether Credit Valley Conservation is aware of the impact of development in the area ponds. He commented that children are drawn to railways and suggested that the railway line be used as a buffer to keep children away. He urged Committee to visit Walnut Road to view the impact of the proposal on the existing community. Mr. Kee questioned whether the members of the existing community were sent notices indicating that the subject proposal is part of the Growth Plan conformity exercise.
In response to Mr. Kee’s concerns, staff clarified that the proposal is not being rushed and that residents were notified of the proposal. The planning process is being followed. Public meetings were held earlier in the process and residents provided comments. Staff explained that the application is circulated to the appropriate agencies and all comments are considered before a decision is recommended.

Rohan Periana, 8282 Churchville Road, Brampton, indicated that he has the same sentiments as the previous speakers. He is concerned about the impact of the proposal on the community, wildlife and the wooded areas in the vicinity. He commented that the installation of a sewer and water system destroyed some of the trees and wildlife in the area. He expressed concerns with respect to the potential traffic increase on Churchville Road.
Aldin Gonsalves, 108 Fahey Drive, Brampton, expressed concerns about the volume of traffic that would be created by the proposal. He suggested that more planning is required before the proposal goes forward. He is concerned about the wildlife and the environment and questioned whether an environmental assessment was undertaken.
Staff confirmed that all the concerns expressed and the comments provided at this meeting will be addressed in the recommendation report which will be presented to Committee at a future date.

Members of the public present requested a presentation on this item.

Robert Ferkul, Moffet & Duncan Architects Inc., presented the proposal to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit an elementary school at the subject site. He explained that the southern portion of the site shows future residential development and is not part of this application. Two vehicular accesses from Ray Lawson Boulevard and 79 parking spaces will be provided for the site. Soccer fields will be located to the south of the property. The site would be regarded as a key feature at the entrance in to Brampton.
Lindsey Sulatycki, Development Planner, City of Brampton, provided details of the current land use designation for the subject site and confirmed that an amendment to the Official Plan is not required. An amendment to the Secondary Plan and the Zoning By-law is required to facilitate the proposal. The applicant has submitted several studies in support of the proposal which is still under review and these studies will be considered by staff in a future recommendation report to Committee.
Following the presentations, one resident addressed the Committee.
Cheryl Brohart, 78 Creditstone Road, Brampton, commented that both Mavis Road and Ray Lawson Boulevard are busy streets and she is concerned about the traffic congestion. She questioned why another public school is being considered for the site given that Hickory Wood Public School is located at 630 Ray Lawson Boulevard and serves the area. She is concerned about the impact of the proposal on the residents who live on Rollingwood Drive.
Staff clarified that the proposal was submitted by the school board that makes the decision on whether there is a need for a school in an area. The planning process is being followed as with all development applications received by the City.
Michael Arruda, on behalf of the Peel District School Board, advised that the area was identified for a school to alleviate the pressure in the nearby public schools which are over crowded, even with several additional portables to accommodate the children. With respect to the comments about the traffic congestion, he advised that a traffic impact study will be submitted to the City.
Committee suggested that traffic congestion in front of schools should be examined to determine how the parents who drop off children on adjacent residential streets may be safely accommodated with some sort of lay-bys at the side of the roads.
Staff confirmed that all the issues raised at this meeting will be addressed in the recommendation report which will be presented to Committee at a future date.

D 3. Report from P. Snape, Manager, Development Services, and O. Lababidi, Development Planner, Planning, Design and Development, dated March 5, 2010, re: Application to Amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law – Glen Schnarr and Associates Inc., on behalf Lindvest Properties (Heart Lake) Limited – West of Heart Lake Road and North of Bovaird Drive East – Ward 2 (File C03E16.003).
Members of the public present requested a presentation on this item.
Virina Elgawly, Glen Schnarr and Associates Inc., presented the proposal to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to develop four residential apartment buildings on the west side of Heart Lake Road and north of Bovaird Drive East. The proposed apartment buildings will range in height from 11 to 15 storeys for a total of 846 dwelling units. A future condominium project is proposed with an underground parking garage, visitor parking, open space amenities, and a trail and walkway feature from Heart Lake Road to White Spruce Park. Acccess to the site is proposed from Heart Lake Road.
Omar Lababidi, Development Planner, City of Brampton, provided details of the current land use designation in the Official Plan, Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law. The Official Plan designates the land as open space, residential and special policy area, and an amendment to the Official Plan is required for the proposal to proceed within the Heart Lake Block Plan Area. The lands are designated agricultural in the Heart Lake Secondary Plan and Zoning By- law and an amendment will be required to facilitate the proposal.

Full municipal services are to be provided for the site. Documents submitted in support of the application include a planning justification report, traffic impact study and an environmental assessment. The proposal is still under review and will be considered by staff in a future recommendation report to Committee.
Following the presentations, residents provided comments as follows:
Alicia Robinson, 28 Pinellas Drive, Brampton, advised that she lives north west of the subject site. She expressed concerns about the impact of the proposal on traffic in the area of Bovaird Drive, Heart Lake Road and Sandalwood Parkway. The addition of 846 units will bring thousands of residents into the area and add to the existing traffic congestion. She questioned whether the proposal includes plans for new schools. She suggested that a park at that site would be more beneficial to the residents instead of highrise apartment buildings. She was of the opinion that more research is required by staff to determine what type of proposal would be appropriate for the community.
Tanya Gould, 20 Cassander Crescent, Brampton, advised that she lives north-west of the subject site. She is concerned about the appropriateness of the proposed density for the site and the impact on the existing traffic in the area. She feels that the high rises proposed are too many for the site and suggested that ‘due diligence’ is required from the City.
Maria Harrison, 24 Scribner Court, Brampton, advised that she lives north- west of the subject site, she enjoys the wildlife and peacefulness of the area and she is proud of the community. She is concerned about the proposed high density for the site and the impact on the existing traffic in the area. She informed Committee that she canvassed the neighbourhood for comments on the proposal and everyone indicated that they were opposed to it. She questioned whether the studies submitted in support of the proposal are available to the public and was advised to visit the Planning, Design and Development Department at City Hall.
Bob Carroll, 55 Upper Highlands Drive, Brampton, advised that he lived on the west side of Turnberry Golf Course. He is concerned about the appropriateness of the proposed density for the site and the impact on the existing traffic in the area. He stated that this proposal in conjunction with the two other proposals before Committee will bring approximately 1600 new homes to the area and add to the existing traffic congestion on Sandalwood Parkway, Bovaird Drive, Heart Lake Road and even Highways 10 and 410. He questioned whether any soil studies were taken to accommodate a 15 storey high rise apartment building and whether the condominiums being referred to are low rental housing. He suggested that the impact on the quality of life of the existing community be considered and questioned whether any measures will be in place to
2010 04 07 Page 11 of 43
MINUTES Planning, Design and Development Committee
prevent noise and pollution that will be created by the proposal. He informed Committee that he canvassed the neighbourhood and reported that many residents are prepared to prevent this proposal.
In response to a question about the Mayor’s attendance, Mr. Carroll was advised that the Mayor was in attendance at the meeting.
Eileen Wiscombe, 32 Scribner Court, Brampton, commented that the subject site is already being graded and the residents are only now being provided the opportunity to express their concerns. She agreed with the previsous speaker that this proposal in conjunction with the two other proposals before Committee will bring approximately 1600 new homes to the area and add to the existing traffic congestion. She was concerned about the appropriateness of the proposed density for the site and felt that the site cannot accommodate additional development. It was her opinion that the applicant will note the concerns expressed and come back with a revised ‘realistic’ plan half the size of this proposal. She stated that residents will be driven out of their homes if the proposal is approved.
A speaker present with Ms. Wiscombe raised concerns regarding the City’s initiatives to conserve grenspace. He commented that 1,600 homes with an average of four persons each is unacceptable for the site. He questioned where the additional children will attend school. He is also concerned about potential traffic impact given the existing traffic congestion in the area.
In response to comments provided by residents, staff explained the Growth Plan legislation requirements for municipalities in the Region of Peel. The City of Brampton is required to accommodate a certain number of residents as legislated by the Province. As a result, intensification in selected areas is necessary to prevent an impact to the City’s tax base. However, all proposals are considered and evaluated by staff before a decision is made by the City.
Peter Mueller, 101 Forestgrove Circle, Brampton, commented that given the proximity of the subject proposal in conjunction with the two other proposals to the Heart Lake Conservation Area and White Spruce Park, he is stunned by the density being considered for the site. He expressed concerns about the number of people who would be using the park and the impact on the overall environment. The potential traffic increase on Sandalwood Parkway was also a concern given the existing traffic congestion. He commented about the lack of schools in the area and is concerned about children being educated in school portables. He noted that he is not against the proposal, he is concerned about the density which may be appropriate area in another area of the City. He stated that he is disappointed by staff’s comment that the City has to support the proposal because of Provincial legislation.

Staff reiterated that the proposal will be considered and evaluated in accordance with the planning process before a final decision is recommended.
Lisa McNeil/Sean McNeil, 108 Forestgrove Circle, Brampton, informed Committee that they moved from Etobicoke to Brampton to get away from high rise apartment buildings. They support town houses or semi- detached dwellings for the site, but not high rise apartment buildings.
John Hymers, 31 Forestgrove Circle, Brampton, commented that Committee should listen to the passion in the residents who are presenting their concerns about the subject proposal which is ‘a shock’ to the residents. He is concerned about the impact of the proposal on the Villages of Heart Lake and White Spruce Park which is home to thousands of birds and a variety of wildlife. He questioned how the City will control the pedestrian traffic through the park and what measures will be taken to protect the wildlife. He stated that the density being proposed is inappropriate and that if a survey is conducted in the area, no one will support this proposal. The potential traffic increase in the area is also a concern given the existing traffic congestion on Bovaird Drive. He commented that the City has done a lot of things right but this proposal is not one of them.
Arlene Eddy, 26 Pinellas Drive, Brampton, advised that she supports all the comments provided by the previous speakers. She has lived in the area for 23 years, directly across from White Spruce Park. She understands that the City has to conform to the Provincial Growth Plan, but questioned when the City will say ‘enough is enough’ to the Prorvince. She questioned the availability of infrastructure, parks, schools and recreational facilties to support the type of density that is being proposed for the future. She feels that the proposal is wrong for the subject site.
William Antonellis, 1 Copperfield Road, Brampton, stated that he lives across from White Spruce Park. He agreed with the comments expressed by the previous speakers regarding the impact of the proposal on the existing traffic on Sandalwood Parkway, Bovaird Drive and Heart Lake Road. He questioned whether any traffic impact studies, air pollution, emission testing and noise level studies were conducted. He is concerned about the impact of the proposal on the environment, the wetlands and wildlife in the area and the quality of life on the existing residents in the community. He is also concerned that the proposed density which will bring thousands of residents to the area, will encourage criminal activity in the community.
Lynda Richard, 9 Copperfield Road, Brampton, advised that she supports all the comments provided by the previous speakers. She questioned whether the Growth Plan legislation provided policies with respect to the amount of wetlands, trees and green space that the City should preserve.

Kathryn Peirson/David Peirson, 24 Richvale Drive South, Brampton, informed Committee that they have lived in the area since 1978 and it is a good place to raise children. They suggested that the Province be advised that the subject proposal is not suitable for the existing community. They are concerned about the impact of the proposal on White Spruce Park which in their opinion, is already congested. They questioned the availability of schools and recreational facilities for the children who will be moving in the area. They feel that the residents should not have to compromise their lifestyle because of this proposal. Mr. Pearson commented that he has seen criminal activities in White Spruce Park. In his opinion, these criminal activities will increase with the thousands of people resulting from the additional density.
Syed Nadeem Shah, 57 Samantha Crescent, Brampton, is of the opinion that visitors’ parking at apartment buildings is always deficient. He questioned where visitors to the site would park, should the situation occur with this proposal. He was also concerned about the potential traffic increase on Bovaird Drive.
Lynn McElliott, 7 Copperfield Road, Brampton, advised that she moved here from Mississauga to be away from density and high rise apartment buildings. She is of the opinion that if the subject proposal is approved it will set a precedent for other high rise buildings in the area.
Hugh McMcGown, 46 Esker Drive, Brampton, questioned whether the City is able to purchase the property next to White Spruce Park to prevent the high density development that is being proposed.
Staff explained that the funds to purchase the property would come from the City’s tax base which would result in a siginificant increase in taxes.
In response to comments from residents about the subject application, staff advised that under the Planning Act, all development applications must be accepted by the City and follow the planning process. All the required studies must be submitted by the applicant. Comments provided at the meeting and by the appropriate agencies are considered before a decision is made to recommend refusal or approval of the proposal.
Staff provided an example of an application that was filed with respect to a high density proposal for the area of Sandalwood Parkway and Conestoga Drive which was refused by the City, and appealed by the applicant to the Ontario Municipal Board.

Don O’Shea, 29 Esker Drive, Brampton, referred to a residents’ meeting that he attended last evening where it was mentioned that another high density proposal may be coming forward in the area. He questioned why the residents at this meeting are not being informed of the potential proposal.
Regional Councillor Palleschi responded that he was present at the meeting with area residents, and he is aware that there may be a high density proposal coming forward in the future. However, the proposal is not before this Committee.
With respect to an inquiry regarding density, staff clarified that there is no block plan for the area. The lands are designated residential in the Official Plan, however, the designation does not address density. The lands are currently zoned agricultural in the Zoning By-law.
Staff confirmed that all the concerns expressed and the comments provided at this meeting will be addressed in the recommendation report which will be presented to Committee at a future date.

The proposal includes 299 townhouses, 60 semi-detached units and an 8 storey apartment building with 139 units. A land exchange with the City is proposed at the north west corner of the site for a similar shaped parcel of City lands to reconfigure the park and residential lands. Mr. Domes advised that 826 parking spaces will be provided with vehicular access from Heart Lake Road and Brussel Avenue. The proposal also includes open space features which include a multi-purpose recreational trail connection to White Spruce Park and a parkette for the residents.
Omar Lababidi, Development Planner, provided details of the current land use designation in the Official Plan, Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law. The Official Plan designates the land residential and special policy area and an amendment to the Official Plan is required for the proposal to proceed within the Heart Lake Block Plan Area. The lands are designated agricultural in the Heart Lake Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law and an amendment will be required to facilitate the proposal. Full municipal services are to be provided for the site. Documents submitted by the applicant in support of the proposal include a planning justification report, traffic impact study and an environmental assessment. The proposal is still under review and will be considered by staff in a future recommendation report to Committee.
Following the presentations, residents provided comments as follows:
Alicia Robinson, 28 Pinellas Drive, Brampton, informed Committee that her concern for this proposal is the same as expressed on the previous proposal. She reiterated the concern about the high density and the environment and stressed that she does not support high rises for the site.
Tanya Gould, 20 Cassander Crescent, Brampton, inquired which areas have been selected for intensification and whether the City is following the Provincial legislation to intensify at any cost.
Staff explained that throughout the Growth Plan compliance exercise, intensification has been focused on core areas and nodes in the Queen Street Corridor and Downtown Brampton. It is not the City’s intent to intensifiy at any cost; intensification has to be transitioned into new communities. Staff advised that decisions to intensify in a particular area
2010 04 07 Page 16 of 43
MINUTES Planning, Design and Development Committee
are based on a complete analysis of the proposal. As an example staff referenced the proposal that was submitted for high density development in the area of Sandalwood Parkway and Conestoga Drive that was refused by the City and is now before the Ontario Municipal Board.
Bob Carroll, 55 Upper Highlands Drive, Brampton, questioned why the high density proposal in the area of Sandalwood Parkway and Conestoga Drive was refused by the City. He recognized that because of Provincial Legislation the City is compelled to intensify and commented that the high rise apartments being constructed on Queen Street and Downtown Brampton are appropriate. He considers those areas to be appropriate for high rises, but stressed that they do not belong in existing residential communities. He questioned what services will be provided to support the residents of those high rise buildings, such as schools and recreational services. He referred to high rises in the ‘Jane and Finch’ area and said that they do not work. He stated that he was not against development, he was against high rise apartment buildings at that location. He suggested that the proposed land exchange by the applicant with the City be rejected by the City. Mr. Carrol questioned the process for traffic studies.
In response to Mr. Carroll’s questions, staff explained that the high density proposal in the area of Sandalwood Parkway and Conestoga Drive was refused because it was considerd inappropriate for the site based on a complete planning analysis. With respect to traffic studies, they are funded by developers, staff will review the study and if there are doubts or concerns, a third party is hired to conduct a peer study. Staff explained that to be accurate, the consultant will simulate the study of a number of cars on the road based on the proposed density. The results of the study are available to the public. Mr. Carroll requested that a peer study be conducted for the subject proposal.
Eileen Wiscombe, 32 Scribner Court, Brampton, reiterated the concerns expressed with respect to Item D 3. She commented that the density being proposed for Items D 3, D 4 and D5 is overwhelming and that even half of that number will be inappropriate for the area. She is concerned about the impact on White Spruce Park and suggested that the proposals not be considered.
Peter Mueller, 101 Forestgrove Circle, Brampton, questioned whether the proposed land exchange is a ‘friendly’ transfer of land. He stressed his objection to the proposal.
Staff explained the process with respect to the exchange of land with a developer. The exchange has to be in the best interest of the City. The land use concept will be tested and if there is merit in the proposal then it
2010 04 07 Page 17 of 43
MINUTES Planning, Design and Development Committee
will be considered. The process is allowed under the Municipal Act. The public is made aware of the disposal of land and land transfer by way of a notice which is also published in the Brampton Guardian.
William Antonellis, I Copperfield Road, Brampton, advised that he addressed Committee with respect to Item D 3. He is concerned about the high rise apartment buildings that are being proposed. He is not opposed to a development of town houses and semi-detached homes. His concern is that these potential new residents who would be purchasing those homes are not present at this meeting to express their concerns about the proposal for the high rise apartment building.
Maria Harrison, 24 Scribner Court, Brampton, questioned what is considered an acceptable amount of traffic for the area based on research. She suggested that the public needs to know about the City’s goals on high density and intensification.
Staff explained that the City is required to conform to the Provincial Growth Plan legislation to intensify. There have been several meetings and workshops on this subject over the past three years, of which residents were informed by mail and by advertisements in the newspapers. Other municipalities are also undergoing the same exercise.
Staff confirmed that all the concerns expressed and the comments provided at this meeting will be addressed in the recommendation report which will be presented to Committee at a future date.

Members of the public present requested a presentation on this item.
Ronald Webb, Davis Webb, on behalf of the applicant ,presented the proposal to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit 133 townhouse dwelling units at the subject site. He explained that this development is separate from the two previous proposals. This is a medium density proposal with distinguishing features. Each house will have its own garage, driveway and visitor parking areas. Vehicular access will be provided from Heart Lake Road. Open space features would include a multi-purpose recreational trail connection to White Spruce Park and a parkette for the residents.
Omar Lababidi, Development Planner, provided details of the current land use designation in the Official Plan, Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law. The Official Plan designates the lands residential and special policy area and an amendment to the Official Plan is required for the proposal to proceed within the Heart Lake Block Plan Area.

After the presentations, residents provided comments as follows
Eileen Wiscombe, 32 Scribner Court, Brampton, advised that she expressed concerns with respect to Items D 3 and D 4 and they are the same for this proposal. She agreed that this proposal is different from the previous two proposal but still considers it inappropriate for the site, given the proximity to the wetlands on the east side of Heart Lake Road. She is concerned that the proposed construction will destroy the wetlands.
Tanya Gould, 20 Cassander Crescent, Brampton, advised that she expressed concerns with respect to Items D 3 and D 4. She agreed that the proposal for townhouses appears to be better than the previous proposal. She is concerned about the design of the area and the impact on White Spruce Park and the environment.

MINUTES Planning, Design and Development Committee
Lynda Westerby, 18 Mowatt Court, Brampton, advised that she lives within walking distance from White Spruce Park and has concerns about the impact of all three proposals on the the park. She is concerned that the proposed road configuration of all three proposals will not accommodate a large school bus. This means that the large school bus would stop on Heart Lake Road to pick up the children from these subdivisions which will result in a potential traffic and safety issue. She suggested that this situation be considered by staff as well.
Bob Carroll, 55 Upper Highlands Drive, Brampton, informed Committee that the proposal for 133 townhouse units brings the total for the area to 1,477 residential units. This creates a large subdivision with extremely high density and hundreds of additional vehicles on the roads. He stated that the residents need the support of the Committee. He advised that he will canvas door to door if necessary to prevent these proposals.
Peter Mueller, 101 Forestgrove Circle, Brampton, commented that the proposal for townhouses is somewhat more approppriate than the previous two proposals, however, the density is still overwhelming. He stated his objection to the proposal. He advised that if he had known the the City’s intent was to approve high density for the area, he would not have moved to his present location. He questioned whether Highway 410 is considered a high density corridor.
Staff advised that Highway 410 is not identified as a high density corridor, however, Heart Lake Road is identified for high density.
William Antonellis, 1 Copperfield Road, Brampton, advised that the three proposals, Items D 3, D 4 and D 5 are too much for the area of Bovaird Drive, Sandalwood Parkway, Heartlake Road and Highway 410. He lives at the entrance of White Spruce Park and stated that residents from the proposed high rises will be looking down at him when he is in his back yard.
Staff confirmed that all the concerns expressed and the comments provided at this meeting will be addressed in the recommendation report which will be presented to Committee at a future date.

(Rosedale Village Phase 5D) – North of Sandalwood Parkway and West of Dixie Road – Ward 9 (File C03E15.008).
Members of the public present requested a presentation on this item.
Keith MacKinnon, KLM Planning Partners Inc., presented the proposal to amend the Zoning By-law to facilitate the development of 51 townhouse dwelling units in the Rosedale Village Adult Lifestyle Community at the subject site. Various amenities are proposed, including a 9 hole golf course, a club house, parks and private roads.
Paul Aldunate, Development Planner, City of Brampton, provided details of the current land use designation for the subject site. He confirmed that the proposed development is consistent with the Secondary Plan policies. The proposed density is consistent with the overall density requirement for the Rosedale Village Adult Lifestyle Community. The lands are zoned agricultural and a residential zoning is required. The proposal which is still under review will be considered by staff along with the comments provided at this meeting in a future recommendation report to Committee.
Following the presentations, residents provided comments as follows:
Mr. Ravindran, 33 Calliandra Trail, Brampton, advised that he and his wife are happy to be living in Rosedale Village, however, they have concerns about the traffic at the entrance to the community. He stated that the configuration of the entrance gates do not accommodate emergency vehicles to the Village. Because of their size, emergency vehicles have to use the exit gates to enter the property which means that they have to go against the traffic exiting the property. He considers this practice to be dangerous and requested a commitment from the developer to resolve the issue. He is also concerned about motorists who turn onto the entrance to Rosedale Village to avoid making a left turn at the intersection Great Lakes Drive and Sandalwood Parkway in the morning. This inconveniences the
2010 04 07 Page 21 of 43
MINUTES Planning, Design and Development Committee
residents of Rosedale Village who wish to leave their homes at that time of day. He was surprised that other residents were not in attendance because they have expressed the same concerns.
Dick Bishop, 10 Yorkwood Trail, Brampton, advised that he is against a proposal of only townhouses at the site, as he would prefer a mix of homes because of the traffic within the Village. He pointed out that another gate is needed at the north end of the property to reduce the traffic congestion which will become ‘unbearable’. With respect to the amenities that are provided to residents, Mr. Bishop questioned whether the golfcourse will be accessible to the entire community of Rosedale Village.
In response to Mr. Bishop’s question, staff advised that all residents of Rosedale Village will have access to the golf course.
Staff confirmed that all the concerns expressed and the comments provided at this meeting will be addressed in the recommendation report which will be presented to Committee at a future date.

submitted several studies in support of the proposal which is still under review and will be considered by staff in a future recommendation report to Committee.
After the presentations, comments were provided as follows:
Harry Singh, 734 Balmoral Drive, Brampton, questioned the need for the proposed facility at the subject site, sinch such facilities are available in other areas of Brampton. He is concerned about traffic impact, access to the site and the impact on the environment. He regards the proposal as a ‘high combustion’ facility that will create pollution and suggested that it will be more appropriate on the north end of Brampton. He commented that it was first time that he was aware of the proposal and the meeting and requested to be kept informed of future meetings.
Allan Seedanee, 734 Balmoral Drive, Brampton, questioned the process for approval of the proposal. He requested that the proposal be rejected because of the impact on the community. He is concerned about traffic congestion on the weekends, when in his opinion, most of the activity at the facility will take place. He expressed concern about pollution from the proposed facility and from the additional vehicles that will visit the site. He commented that it was first time that he was aware of the proposal and the meeting.
In response to comments raised about the subject application, staff advised that under the Planning Act, all development applications must be accepted by the City and follow the planning process. The required planning studies must be submitted by the applicant.

Members of the public present requested a presentation on this item.
Billy Tung, KLM Planning Partners Inc., presented the proposal to amend the Zoning By-law and a proposed draft plan. The subject lands are located within the Sub-Areas 1 and 3 of the Credit Valley Secondary Plan. The proposal includes single detached dwellings, a convenience commercial block, channel blocks, a stormwater management pond, a woodlot and open space features. Details of the number and size of lots were provided.
Michelle Gervais, Development Planner, City of Brampton, provided details of the current land use designation and confirmed that an amendment to the Official Plan and Secondary Plan is not required, however, an amendment to the Zoning By-law is required to facilitate the subject proposal. The proposal is consistent with the approved Block Plan for the area. Several studies must be submitted by the applicant to support the proposal which is still under review and will be considered by staff in a future recommendation report to Committee.
Following the presentation, one resident addressed the Committee:
Beverly Brown, 98 Major William Sharpe Drive, Brampton, is concerned about the impact of the proposal on the community east of Chinguacousy Road. She stated that during the construction period of the widening of Chinguacousy Road, her home was infested with animals that lived in the open space. They have since settled down but she is concerned that when construction begins at this site, the residents will be faced with the same situation. Traffic is also an issue for the area residents, as motorists travelling on Chinguacousy Road, use Major William Sharpe Drive as a shortcut to get to Queen Street.
Ms. Brown was advised by Committee that future widening of Chinguacousy Road and the extension of James Potter Road will alleviate the traffic volume on Chinguacousy Road.
Staff confirmed that the concerns expressed at this meeting will be addressed in the recommendation report which will be presented to Committee at a future date.
