The following applicants were present at the meeting:
► Fariba Gharaei, Architect
► Meredith Mitchell, Landscape Architect
► Kevin, Josh Penner, Brody McDermott, representatives of Meridian Acquisitions Ltd.
The Staff Liaison gave an overview of the proposal: a CS1 commercial development located within
the Town Centre Area. The design criteria have been evaluated and meet design guidelines for this
development permit area. There are variances proposed for height and setback. The plan calls for
minimum three storeys in this area however two storeys are planned and are reasonable for this type
of development. The setback variance will bring the building closer to the sidewalk. The variances
are supported by staff.
The Architect presented the proposed design to the Panel. The design has retail (a food market) on
the first floor and office space on the second floor. Two driveways will allow access -one from
Dewdney Trunk Road, the other from 227 Street. There will be 38 parking spaces. A wide sidewalk
with overhead canopies is planned to encourage pedestrian traffic. There is a designated area for
garbage and recycling.
The Landscape Architect provided an overview of the planned landscaping at the site. Four existing
trees on the property have been evaluated by an arborist with a report provided to the City. Low
ground cover is planned for the boundary with the adjacent property to the south. Three new trees
(to city standard) will be planted on Dewdney Trunk Road.
The Panel provided comments on the proposal, including comments provided prior to the meeting by
Johnny WW Leung.
Moved and seconded:
The following concerns be addressed and digital versions of revised drawings and memo be
submitted to Planning staff; and further that Planning staff forward this on to the Advisory Design
Panel for information:
• Consider specialty paving along 227 Street and Dewdney Trunk Road.
• Consider increased interest along south fagade via screening, canopy or architectural
treatments.
• Consider placing a higher priority on the second floor entry.
