DELEGATIONS
Mr. Karl Jaffary. Solicitor. Norstar Development Comoration and Mr. John
Rogers. Solicitor. Sheppards Ridge Co-operative Inc
Mr. Jaffary addressed the two options provided in Report PL95-52-164. He
agreed that it would have been desirable to include 3 and 11 Ross Street in the
project; however, the Province has provided financing for only 80 units and will
not allow parking on the project to be allocated to other facilities. Thus, the
proposal before Council is limited to 19 Ross St. Nonetheless, his clients are
prepared to purchase 3 and 11 Ross Street. They will ensure that there is an
access route from 3 and 11 Ross Street to Industrial Parkway and they will
return to Council with a development proposal, likely consisting of street
townhouses, for that premises. He indicated that the proposal before Council
this evening for 19 Ross Street is an excellent design and that the Province's
allocation of funding can not be put off indefinitely.
Mr. Rogers indicated that several members of the Board of the Co-operative
were present. He noted the urgency as Provincial funding for social housing is
diminishing. He indicated that the Co-operative might be prepared to provide
the access route to 3 and 11 Ross Street if necessary.

#276. Moved by Councillor Healy Seconded by Councillor Morris
WHEREAS, although the applicants have revised the plans such
that the technical concerns have been met, several issues identified
within the Official Plan as requirements related to the more
comprehensive redevelopment of the lands involving the adjoining
properties to the north have not been addressed in this proposal.
In particular, such matters include the sharing of amenity area,
garbage storage and both occupant and visitor parking. In addition,
the lands to the north remain zoned M 1-A, permitting industrial
uses. As a result, while the revised plan continues to be a logical
and acceptable redevelopment of the subject lands, the originally
envisioned overall redevelopment concept was preferable.
