R/2021-031
It was moved and seconded
That the Advisory Design Panel has reviewed application No. 2020-309-DP and recommends the
proposal be re-submitted and presented at a future Advisory Design Panel meeting with the
following concerns addressed:
Note: Meredith Mitchell left at 5:00 pm
Architectural Comments:
·Height of the building is out of scale given the context:
o reconsider 7 storey volume to a height more in keeping within the
neighbourhood
o Gable roof is exacerbating the height of the roof
o Please provide shadow studies, extended street elevations and larger reaching
sections to show the impact of the building on the surrounding context
·Consider the Human scale of the building and introduce elements to lower the overall
massing;
·Provide more celebration/distinction of entry and more articulation/visual interests on
the street fronting facades;
·Consider softening material pallet to add warmth to the façade;
·Consider opportunities for the indoor/outdoor relationship at the ground plane.
Landscape Comments:
·Provide more clarification on perimeter grades and relationship to neighbouring
property;
·Provide terraced landscape retaining walls to soften the edges of the exposed parkade;
·Provide removable bollards at the 123rd street let down in front of the garbage collection
– evaluate if this let down is needed as garbage truck could use podium access same
as the firetruck;
·Consider to blend and expand the amenity area into the environmental setback;
·Maintenance path of the Westside of the building is hidden – provide a looping path or
additional connections to the building to reduce CPTED concerns;
·Consider more variety in the play structures.
