Location: 2910 & 2936 Hancock Road
Brandon Weiler, Planner, was present via electronic means. Mr. Weiler made a
verbal and electronic presentation to the Committee regarding the application.
Libby Racansky, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. Ms.
Racansky noted her concerns regarding the traffic on Nash Road, lack of green
space, drainage and storm water management. She added that trees on the
west side of the proposal would be beneficial to the public to create a sustainable
and livable community. Ms. Racansky stated that Lake Iroquois Beach should be
considered in any proposals along Nash Road and added that the land form is
valued for its groundwater recharge, discharge functions, and landscape
features. She explained that the land is not suitable for high-rise buildings as
they need deep basements below the clay, which will cut off or redirect the
groundwater flow to unsuspected areas. Ms. Racansky noted her concerns
regarding the environment and diseases. She added that planting trees close to
Highway 418 would help to absorb the air, water and noise pollution.

Planning and Development Committee Minutes of June 29, 2020
Ms. Racansky stated that widening Hancock and Nash Road will increase traffic
and she expressed her concern for safety along these roads. She noted that, a
trenchless extension of water/sewers should be used in the neighbourhood and
not divert the groundwater flow. Ms. Racansky explained that the deletion or
diversion of tributaries to pipes along Hancock or Nash Roads to the Black Creek
or SWM should not be considered. She noted that there is a lack of parks and
trails in the Hancock north and south neighbourhoods. Ms. Racansky concluded
by stating her concerns regarding climate change and habitat.

Christine Khashmanian, local resident, spoke in opposition to the
application. She noted her concerns regarding the traffic impact on Nash Road
and the safety of children at Moyse Park. Ms. Khashmanian added that
residents will use the road extension as a cut -through to Hancock Road, which is
a safety concern for increased traffic.
Brian Gronke, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. Mr. Gronke
noted his concerns regarding the details of the style of development. He
questioned if a sidewalk on the south side of Nash Road will continue down to
connect to the existing sidewalks. Mr. Gronke stated that his major concern with
the traffic flow on Nash Road is at the corner of Moyse Drive and Hancock Road.
He added that cars are already speeding excessively along the road that leads to
Black Creek, which is dangerous for anyone backing out of their driveway. Mr.
Gronke expressed his concerns regarding being exposed to increased light
pollution in the rural area. He added his concern for the neighbourhood's shallow
wells and explained that the Harry Gay Development effected resident's wells.
Mr. Gronke questioned who is responsible for paying for the costs to go on town
water because people don't need the extra cost during the pandemic. He
concluded by stating that he is concerned that, with this new development, the
neighborhood will turn from an R1 zone to a R3 or R4 zone.
Alona May, local resident, spoke in opposition of the application. Ms. May noted
she lives on Hancock Road and agreed with Mr. Gronke's concerns. She added
her concerns regarding the safety of her family and the widening of the

Jenny Gibson, was present via electronic means regarding Addendum to Report
PSD-019-20, 415 Mill Street. Ms. Gibson noted that she doesn't agree with the
proposed development being pushed extremely tight to Mill Street. She
questioned where the extra parking will go, as she is concerned with overflow
parking on Robert Street near the school. Ms. Gibson requested that "no parking
signs" be placed on Robert Street as it is a safety risk for children in the area.
She expressed her concern with the lack of park amenities. She noted that she
isn't trying to stop the development but doesn't agree with the proposed
application. Ms. Gibson stated her concerns with the landscape package and
lack room for large coniferous trees. She requested that, if the coniferous trees
are unable to be planted, the hedge along her property not be removed so that it
may help maintain shading, privacy and mitigate noise. Ms. Gibson requested
that the visitors' parking be moved and that no streetlights be installed in the
parking lot. She concluded by stating that over 300 residents disagree with the
application and that it does not fit the historic entrance.

Report PSD-019-20, 415 Mill Street
Mike Pettigrew, The Biglieri Group Ltd., was present via electronic means
regarding Addendum to Report PSD-019-20, 415 Mill Street. Mr. Pettigrew
explained that, after meeting with staff, the overall height has been reduced to
10m and does not require a variance. He added that the development grade will
be raised to help the existing slope and storm water drainage issues. Mr.
Pettigrew stated that the proposed location is appropriate for the development
because it is a medium density area and is adjacent to arterial roads. He added
that the Official Plan identified the location as being appropriate for a
gateway. Mr. Pettigrew addressed Ms. Gibson's concerns regarding landscaping
and added that landscaping and privacy is included in the site plan process. Mr.
Pettigrew noted that he is committed to work with his client on the concerns from
Ms. Gibson and is available for a virtual meeting to discuss the plans.

Planning and Development Committee Minutes of June 29, 2020
He explained that the building orientation will direct vehicles to the rear of the
property which will create a safer environment and will have no garages on Mill
Street. Mr. Pettigrew added that the private road is not intended to increase
density and is the appropriate format to achieve the urban design goals for the
type of development. He stated that his client reviewed and listened to all
comments and concerns from the last public meeting and reduced the number of
units by a significant margin. Mr. Pettigrew noted that the development is on the
low end of a medium density area and respectfully requested that Committee
approve the application.
