John Gustavson, Principal, Gustavson Wylie Architects, highlighted six features of the development that were incorporated in response to concerns expressed at the December 18, 2006 Public Hearing, and at the April 4, 2007 and the July 5, 2007 Advisory Design Panel Meetings: | |
|

light standard height is at a maximum of 10 ft., and illumination is directed downward in order to ensure minimal light overspill onto neighbouring properties; |

the canopy structure has been redesigned and widened to enhance its weather protection ability; |

· |
cultured stone has been integrated into the design of the entrance tower element; and |
|
|

as a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) feature, vision glass is incorporated to ensure a visual link from the retail interior to the exterior patio. |
