Mr. Stephens advised Council that he was opposed to the location of the parking lot
proposed in the Site Plan Application for Dr. G. W. Williams Secondary School which is
proposed to be constructed adjacent to his rear yard on Wenderley Drive. He asked
Council to clarify the resident notification process in place for this type of application.

were other suitable sites for a parking lot on the subject property and requested Council
to investigate the possibility of relocating the parking lot to another site.

of the Site Plan Application for the construction of an addition and new parking lot at Dr.
G. W. Williams Secondary School. He stated that the school currently has a population
of 1100 students, of which 22% are special needs. He also expressed the great need for
a larger school library, cafeteria and teacher lounge. Mr. West explained that notices were
provided to the residents in the area and that other locations for the proposed parking lot
were examined, in particular the south west corner of the property, but were dismissed
due to factors such as the long distance to the school, increased costs associated with
such a relocation, and the possible disruption of the playing fields which are used by the
Town to provide facilities for sports associations. He urged Council to approve the
Application, pointing out that a denial from Council may result in construction contract
cost increases or termination of the project.

with certain aspects of the Bayview Southeast Secondary Plan including the expansion
southerly to Vandorf Sideroad and beyond and the lack of a Secondary Plan process to
be initiated for the Area 2b Lands. He asked Council to consider deferring the
implementation and phasing aspects of Section 4 relating to Schedule CC until the phasing

Don Given. Malone Given Parsons Ltd. on behalf of
Magna International Inc. re: Bayview East Urban
Expansion 2a Area ·
Page 5
Mr. Given provided a brief overview of the continuity between successive plans for the
Magna lands since 1993. He invited Council to consider that the issues relating to the
golf course, acquisition of valley lands and density reduction in the northeast quadrant
have been adequately addressed. The proposed new golf course reconfiguration allows
for golf hole numbers 7 and 9 to be relocated outside of the wetlands, which impacts on
reducing the density of the proposal. He explained that the Town could begin to take
ownership of sufficient valley lands to implement its trail system requirements once Phase
Ill of the development commenced, with the acquisition of the remainder of those lands
being dependent on the potential development of the Stronach residence in future.
