DEPUTATION BY JACK HARKNESS REGARDING MOTION 14-G-096, REZONING FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL (C4) TO RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE SECOND DENSITY (RM2) AND DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION APPLICATION FOR 196 BURTON AVENUE (WARD 8).
Mr. Jack Harkness provided a deputation in opposition to motion 14-G-096 regarding the Rezoning from General Commercial (C4) to Residential Multiple Second Density (RM2) and Draft Plan of Subdivision Application for 196 Burton Avenue (Ward 8). Mr. Harkness advised that he was also speaking on behalf of P. Kurtz, C. Basinger, K. Campbell and J. Spencer, residents in the vicinity of 196 Burton Avenue. He commented that they remained concerned regarding the single in/out access at Holgate Street/Robinson Street due to the traffic impact they believe this will cause in the neighbourhood. Mr. Harkness discussed his concerns that the proposal provides for motorists from over 300 dwellings from Holgate, Bailey, Kelly, Robinson Streets and the proposed Parkshore Village, as well as any supplemental or emergency traffic to converge at this one intersection. He commented that the residents are continuing to request that proposed Parkshore Village Development Proposal include more than the single in/out access and that any consideration of a stop sign at the Holgate/Robinson subdivision access point should be restricted to the out access from the development instead of the proposed 3-way stop.
