April Mol
Ms. Mol had a question on the delineation of the lots and asked where the services will be
located. She wondered if it was the normal practice to have servicing in the back. She also
asked about the ownership of the right of way.
The Manager of Development and Environmental Services provided clarification on the
servicing and advised that the right of way belonged to the City.
Ms. Mol expressed concern that servicing for the proposed development is being run
through a park, and concerns with the number of lots, the loss of green space and the
impact on wildlife in the area. She felt that that use of public greenspace to service a

development is not appropriate and asked that the design be revisited. She inquired about
the requirement for a landscape plan.
The Manager of Development and Environmental Services spoke to the use of the right of
way for the provision of services to the proposed development. He advised that a landscape
plan is not required for single family developments.
David Laird. Applicant. Martin & Aplin
Mr. Laird addressed the concerns over the placement of the servicing for the proposed
development. He advised that land is being provided for park, that an environmental
assessment will be done and that green spaces will be improved. He indicated that reducing
the number of lots would not change the need for the servicing to be located at the back of
the properties.
Chris Pilgrim
Ms. Pilgrim asked how much of the existing green space will be used by the proposed
development. The Manager of Development and Environmental Services advised on the
land being dedicated to the City as green space. Ms. Pilgrim asked whether the road will go
through to Creekside. The Manager of Development and Environmental Services affirmed
that the road will be through the western edge of the site.
Ms. Pilgrim stated that she was told when purchasing her home that the area surrounding
her property will remain greenspace. The Manager of Development and Environmental
Services confirmed that the green space next to Ms. Pilgrim's property will remain.
