The ground is caving in and there is no support for the fence which is now pulling away.

Howes, 22 Jane Avenue, Courtice, LlE 2H9 advising of opposition to the proposed subdivision submitted by Blackcreek Developments Ltd./D.G. Biddle and Associates, for Lots 29 and 30, Concession 3, Former Township of Darlington. At the General Purpose and Administration Meeting dated May 4, 1998, Mr. Creamer of D.G. Biddle and Associates was requested to look at modifying their subdivision plan to avoid dumping the traffic from the proposed subdivision through our existing neighbourhood. Mr. Creamer agreed, but Mr. Howes sees no evidence that the developer looked into alternate layouts to avoid the extension of Jane A venue. The plan submitted on the 21st of June is the same as a year ago with respect to Jane Avenue and does not address his concerns regarding the funneling of the new subdivisions' traffic through Jane Avenue. The neighbourhood design plan and subdivision plan show total disregard for an established neighbourhood of almost 50 years and would totally destroy the qualities that lead him to move there. They are basically a crescent composed of Jane and Lynwood Avenues and Glenview Road. '"" The Planning Department dismissed concerns over the extension of Jane Avenue, saying that it discourages the establishment of cul-de-sacs but that is not the only alternative treatment of the north-east corner of the development. The proposed north part of Jane Avenue and Street "B" could circle back to the north through the 'future development area' on the plan map and join George Reynolds Drive to form a crescent thereby giving the desired two accesses to the subdivision. The traffic study that was conducted is flawed with respect to traffic on Jane Avenue. Future development in the north-east corner of the plan shows Street "B" dead-ending at Courtice Road for its exit would be too close to the George Reynolds Drive exit onto Courtice Road. All of the traffic, a minimum of 27 households from this street will use Jane Avenue, and if heading south, will travel though theimeighbourhood. In Report PD-70-99 under Conditions of Approval, page 5 item 21 it is suggested that the developer secure lands to complete George Reynolds Drive to Courtice Road. '-' Council Minutes - 16- June 28, 1999 '-' COMMUNICATIONS He suggests that if the developer fails to secure this land then only the Fourth Avenue portion of the plan should be allowed to proceed. If the developer cannot obtain access to Courtice Road then the remaining development should be delayed. Jane Avenue should not be extended to provide access. Residents should not be penalised for the sake of the developer. (Referred to the Planning and De"elopment Department for consideration in conjunction with the subject matter) D-6 Donald Woodard, 1445 Taunton Road East, Courtice, advising of his concerns about the application to permit construction of detached garage with an exterior side yard setback of 4 metres instead of the required 10 metre exterior side yard at Part Lot 35, Concession 4, former Township of Darlington, municipal address 1449 Taunton Road East. The owner of this property has stated to Mr. Woodard that he is planning to build a double garage so that he can store supplies and do floral arrangements in it. Mr. Woodard is reasons for not being in favour of the petition are: '"" I. Fire Protection - there is no fire hydrant in this area of the municipality as they are on well water. If a fire stated at the property at 1449 Taunton Road East and with the concentration of all the buildings it could spread to his property and there is only 33' separating the home. 2. Drainage - this residential area is located in a westerly slope draining to the Harmony Creek. There are no storm sewers. His home at 1445 Taunton was the first home built near this corner and it is somewhat level to the original farm fields. The property at 1449 was lower than 1445 Taunton Road East but was back filled to a height of approximately 3 feet higher than the back of 1445 Taunton Road East. This allows water to run onto 1445 Taunton and to the next lots. If the owner at 1449 is allowed to build the detached garage of 768 square feet, it will cause more water to flow on the neighbouring lot because of the large roof size. 3. If the owner at 1449 Taunton Road East is allowed to build the attached garage this would be the first step to be taken to enable him to move his complete business to 1449 Taunton Road East. He feels that the use of the lot at 1449 Taunton should remain residential. """ Council Minutes \... COMMUNICATIONS D-I Terry Fox Run ~ D-IO Neighbourhood Watch Program ~ - 17- June 28, 1999 4.
