Tim Pepper, 9991 Seacastle Drive (Schedule 1)

Submissions from the floor:

Mary Teehankee, 11740 Seaton Road, expressed concern regarding on-street parking along Seaton Road and questioned the amount of off-street parking proposed with the development.

Wayne Craig, Director of Development, advised that the proposed two lot development would have separate driveways, which would accommodate off-street parking, and two side by side parking spaces per garage. 

Council directed staff to liaise with the City’s Transportation and Community Bylaws Departments to examine appropriate actions regarding the on-street parking concerns in the area.

In response to a query from Council, Alan Kwok, Applicant, commented that development plans have not been finalized; however, two-storey residential units are being proposed.  Mr. Kwok was of the opinion that on-street parking in the area would not be negatively impacted as a result of the proposed off-street parking.
