Item No. 13 -

Mr. Barry Walsh, of 9520 Beckwith Road, spoke in opposition to the proposed development and suggested that the entire area should be redeveloped, rather than one project at a time. He also spoke against both the proposed location of the loading bay at the north-west corner (immediately adjacent to his home) and the access to Beckwith Road from the shopping centre.

Ms. Vera Savkovic-Smart, of 2351 No. 4 Road, voiced concern about the proposed location of the loading bays and questioned how this issue would be addressed. She also raised a number of questions about transportation issues and requirements relating to the proposed development, to which staff provided answers.

Ms. Popazivanov, of 9531 Beckwith Road, spoke in opposition to the proposed access to Beckwith Road and to the proposed location of the north-west loading bay because of the immediate proximity to her home.

Mr. Todd Harris, 9451 Beckwith Road, indicated his opposition to the overall development, and specifically, to the proposal to provide access from the shopping centre to Beckwith Road because of the increase in truck traffic which could result.

Mr. Bill Wright, the applicant, advised that the architect was present to respond to any questions which Council might have. Mr. Patrick Cotter, of Dikeakos & Cotter Architects, then came forward, and in answer to questions from Council, used site plans to explain the project and to address concerns raised by the previous speakers.
