team gave a presentation of the project plans.
R/2019-017
It was moved and seconded
That File No. 2018-012-DP be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the design
develops and submitted to Planning staff for follow-up:
Landscape Comments:
1. Consider improving the entrance experience to the site;
2. Provide pedestrian circulation and reduce conflict zones through the site with
demarcated pedestrian crosswalks at entry, mailbox and central outdoor amenity;
3. Remove parking stall from North pedestrian pathway to facilitate the narrowing of the
space between the adjacent buildings to create a new pedestrian pathway at the
vehicular entry to the site (reduce conflict between pedestrians and vehicles);
4. Consider incorporating equipment for range of ages and motion play equipment in play
area;
5. Subject to compliance with City policies, move fire lane bollards closer to Dewdney
Trunk Road;
6. Ensure lighting is provided on the walkway between Buildings 2 and 3.
Architectural Comments:
1. Consider increased architectural character of the elevations exposed to Dewdney Trunk
Road to create continuity with the architectural design of the interior facing elevations,
as this road is a major transportation corridor for the City;
2. Add architectural character at the vehicular entry point to the building adjacent to create
a sense of place;
3. Consider using a different colour or material on the posts to differentiate from the
architectural elevations and add depth.
