DELEGATION
Brenda E. Burns. Solicitor. Reble. Ritchie. Wright &
Ketcheson. re: Block 2. Registered Plan 65M-2802.
330 McClellan Way -Revision to Site Plan
Page 2
Ms. Burns outlined to Council the status of the approvals related to the proposed
construction of neighbourhood shopping facility at 330 McClellan Way. It was indicated
minor modifications to the existing Site Plan Agreement were sought, the effect of which
would result in the shifting of the structure towards the streetline to comply with the
minimum rear yard setback prescribed by the Zoning By-law together with the elimination
of a corridor at the rear of the building previously proposed for access to the indoor
garbage storage facilities. She indicated her client was reluctant to construct the corridor
as it would have a detrimental impact on security for the individual units. She advised
the revisions to the plans would result in each unit having an at grade rear access way
which would not be used for delivery purposes. It was further confirmed an indoor
garbage storage room would be maintained. The Owners were also prepared to enhance
the landscaping to be provided to ensure there was additional screening of the exit areas.
An expeditious decision by Council was sought to allow construction of the facility to
commence this fall.
#511. Moved by Councillor Griffith Seconded by Councillor Weller
THAT the comments of the delegate be received.
