Zoning Amendment Bylaw 7691 (RZ 04-266769)

(7611 Eperson Road; Applicant:  Rav Bains)

Applicants Comments:

The applicant stated that he was available to answer questions.

Written Submissions:

None.

Submissions from the floor:

Mr. Brian Avent, 7831 Willowfield Drive, was concerned that the lots were too narrow and that six houses were sharing 3 driveways.  He stated that this would seriously impact parking in the area.

Councillor McNulty requested that staff monitor parking in this area during construction.

Mr. Murray Iseli , 7591 Eperson Road, stated his concerns that 3 driveways were being shared by six houses, the size of the lots, and the impact this development would have on parking in the neighbourhood.  He queried whether the proposed roadworks would occur before or after the development of the site.  In response to this query, Mr. Allueva, Director of Development, advised that the roadwork would occur concurrently.

Mrs. Audrey Iseli, 7591 Eperson Road, was concerned about six homes being crowded onto 3 lots.  She stated that she was also concerned about parking during construction.  She advised that there was a school zone at the end of the street, and that previously, during construction periods, cars were parked in ditches, and double parked on boulevards, which had been wrecked and were covered in mud. 

Mr. Brian Avent, speaking for a second time, stated that he was concerned about parking in the area on an ongoing basis, not just during the construction period.  He noted that this was a relatively tight corner of the subdivision and parking spilled over on the remainder of the street.

Mr. Rav Bains, the applicant, advised that each of the six houses would have their own driveways and would share three access driveway outlets.  The issue of parking for trades people, would be addressed and the development of the proposed cul de sac would provide more off-street parking.  Each home had a 10 metre setback which would also provide on site parking.  He would ensure that roads were cleaned and garbage picked up during the construction period.  He also stated that he would install, at his expense, sidewalks up to the point where Willowfield Drive and Eperson Road meet.  In response to a query from Council, he advised that the three joint access driveways created more street parking in between these driveways.  The longer driveways would provide more parking and should lessen the need for on street parking.  The houses were approximately 2600-2700 sq.ft , and there would be no rental suites.
