R/2019-010
It was moved and seconded
That File No. 2016-031-DP be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the
design develops and submitted to Planning staff for follow-up:
Landscape Comments:
1. Add a gateway element to ensure prominent entry to the site;
2. Improve the design of the north-west amenity space. Consider using the grade change,
more play equipment, natural play features or social gathering elements;
3. Add an additional row of ground cover to improve layering on south property line;
4. Relocate visitor stall adjacent to Unit 11 to a more functional location;
5. Provide a wider variety of surfacing materials to differentiate driveways, pedestrian
walkways, and unit / garage entrances to better define pedestrian usage;
6. Add decorative paving to enhance drive aisle and provide a sense of arrival at the front
entry;
7. Introduce alternative treatments to reduce the expanse of asphalt at the three-way
intersection;
8. Add wayfinding signage, etc;
9. Consider multiple bike rack locations;
10. Ensure landscape plans are coordinated with architectural site plan;
11. Clarify tree retention possibilities in front of Unit 4. Landscape plans do not show trees
being retained; however, the architectural plan appears to have shifted Unit 4 back from
the street to allow for tree retention.
Architectural Comments:
1. Reduce the building step of Unit 4 if existing trees are not retained;
2. Exposed elevations to the site entry at Building 1 and Building 2 should be articulated to
provide a sense of place and arrival;

3. Review and consider revisions to interior layouts including:
Building 3: proportion of ensuite to closet in level 3;
Building 1: consider increasing the width (square out the room) / relocate the closet to
create better access to bedroom #3;
4. Consider strengthening the singular roof overhang triangles;
5. Add windows and lighting to interior facing elevations between buildings to address
potential CPTED concerns, safety, and liveability conditions;
6. Encourage consistent colour continuity throughout the buildings, specifically for Building
1.
