DELEGATIONS
Janice Jones addressed Council concerning Item 5 of Report #1- PSD-022-13 -
Proposed Official Plan, Rezoning, and Amendment to Draft Approved Plan of
Subdivision and to Permit a 261 Unit Residential Plan of Subdivision. Ms. Jones
stated that eight years ago, her family moved to Beckett Crescent in Courtice and
were very happy with their choice of home and neighbourhood which consisted of
mainly single detached homes with a few proposed semi-detached and townhomes to
be built. She noted the neighbourhood had a public elementary school within walking
distance and a proposed high school next door. Since then, the school board has
decided not to pursue a high school and the land that was supposed to be used for
the school was changed to include 90 single-detached homes and 66 townhomes.
Ms. Jones stated that last year, she received a letter proposing another change to the
zoning from medium to high density residential to allow for 192 garden flat apartments
in 16 three-storey buildings with 12 units each. Ms. Jones stated area residents
started a petition in opposition to the rezoning last year and to date, have collected
over 750 signatures. Ms. Jones questioned the rationale for the development at this
location. She stated the Courtice main corridor would be a more appropriate location
for high density residential. Ms. Jones is concerned with the impact on traffic and
safety with the addition of 261 units and the need for more parks. She suggested the
applicant revise the plan to include more single-detached homes and greenspace with
a plan that fits with their community. Ms. Jones urged Council not to amend the
existing zoning for the property.
Richard Aubry, Architect, Preston Group, addressed Council concerning Item 5 of
Report #1- PSD-022-13 - Proposed Official Plan, Rezoning, and Amendment to Draft
Approved Plan of Subdivision and to Permit a 261 Unit Residential Plan of
Subdivision. Mr. Aubry stated the Preston Group is committed to Clarington having
been in the community for over 15 years developing over 350 single, semi-detached
and townhomes creating the best possible communities. Through use of a
PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Aubry reviewed the proposal which creates a
neighbourhood that achieves a higher level of density with three-storey small floor
plate designs which respond to and complement the existing community in both use
and form and creates a pedestrian-friendly and transit-friendly community.
Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - April 15, 2013
Mr. Aubry highlighted parkette areas that will allow the public to connect to different
spaces providing alternative pedestrian environments. He stated there has been a
number of meetings with staff and consultation with the public to address concerns
with respect to traffic, form and fit, parking and pedestrian safety. Mr. Aubry stated
the proposal conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement and the applicant is following
the rules and guidelines set out by the regulatory authorities. Mr. Aubry
acknowledged that residents are fighting for the quality of their community and for its
future noting the applicant played a significant role in creating the community and will
continue to fight for this proposal.
