Project Architect: Craig Taylor, Taylor Kurtz Architecture and Design
Project Landscape Architect: Jessica Thiessen, KD Planning and Design
Proposal: M-3 Business Park Development (Industrial)

The staff liaison summarized the recommendations from the June 19, 2019 Advisory Design
Panel meeting regarding the business park development. The project team gave a
presentation on changes to the design and addressed the previous recommendations on the
project. The Panel noted that the applicant did not consider sustainable stormwater
management techniques ie: bioswales.
R/2019-030
It was moved and seconded
That application 2018-458-DP be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the
design develops and submitted to Planning staff for follow-up:
Landscape Comments:
1. Ensure that onsite stormwater management is coordinated during the development
permit process and that all City departments have reviewed and approved the design so
that minimum requirements are achieved;
2. Provide a rational on why stormwater infiltration beyond a tank was not considered;
3. Ensure guardrails are provided at trail access point off Kingston Street;
4. Consider painted line crosswalks at Kingston Street trail for all five crossings: Wanstead,
Lorne, Ospring, Hampton and Ditton;
5. Provide pedestrian wayfinding at trail and crossings;
6. Consider additional shrub planting at foundations of buildings at Lots 4-7, similar in
character to Lot 3;
7. Consider using higher percentage of recommended native plant material to match
character of environmental ecological areas;
8. Consider planting Hemlocks in more sheltered locations on site and consider an
alternate species at building facades;
9. Consider adding berms in Lot 7 Amenity area at circuit path to increase screening and
visual interest;
10. Consider concrete attenuation fence;
11. Cross section F – plant material seems low growth, consider substituting with taller
growing plant material to screen the attenuation fence.
Architectural Comments:
1. Provide updated landscape cross sections of context from closest proposed building
corner to property lines;
2. Update architectural drawings to indicate neighbouring context ie: neighbouring houses;
3. Enhance shadow study to show existing houses and bridge context;
4. Building corners facing neighbouring property lines should be further scaled ie: horizontal
or vertical line work/materials;
5. Articulate the roof line of the south façade of building Lot 7;
6. As previously noted, historical reference and character as identified within the Hammond
Area Plan has not been reflected in the design.
