Brian Jackson, Director of Development, with the aid of visuals, provided an overview of the proposed project and its affect on the adjacent properties. He also referred to the cross-access easement from Sharpe Avenue to the development that would accommodate vehicles and pedestrians, noting this was obtained during rezoning of the property at 22380 Sharpe Avenue. No access can be provided from Westminster Highway due to safety concerns. |

Submissions from the floor: |
|
|
|
Sebastian Pigeon, #25-22380 Sharpe Avenue, outlined the concerns of the Rosedale Gardens Strata Council related to the access provision, citing concerns about traffic safety, wear and tear on the driveway, the potential adverse affect on maintenance payments, and property values. A copy of Mr. Pigeon’s submission is attached to these Minutes as Schedule 8. Mr. Pigeon also wondered how the two strata councils would deal with common maintenance issues, and if construction could start at 8 a.m. rather than 7 a.m. Raj Brar, on behalf of the applicant, indicated that he would discuss with his partners the possibility of delaying construction start time to 8 a.m., and noted the new development would be compatible with the neighbouring townhouse development. |

|
Helen Yuk, #26-22380 Sharpe Avenue, expressed opposition to the proposed road access of the new development. |
