FROM: Mr. W. Brown

SUBJECT: Twin Cedars Strata Townhouses
L.U.C. Amendment

RECOMMENDATION: That City Council approve building additions
to the Twin Cedars Strata Townhouse. Complex,
by way of Development Permits. Using the
criteria contained in this report: for

Judging individual requests.

BACKGROUND:

Tnis application to permit the closing in of carports was
brought about by the Building Inspection Department stopping an
owner from ciosing in a carport. There are several carports
that have been closed in without a permit.

COMMENTS: |

t. Twin Cedars Townhouse development is a comprehensive scheme
containing a common architectural theme and an internal road
network. It is the possibility of these features being
deteriorated, that is the focus of attention of this report in
reviewing the application to modify the townhouses’ parking

garages.

2. A major concern of the City for a development having an
internal road network is emergency vehicie access and freedom
of movement for owners! vehicles. . The reason for this concern
is that the roads are constructed to a much narrower width than
typical public streets. In responding to the above concern,
the Strata Council prohibited on street parking in I[98I and
fater, February 1983 authorised a towing company to remove
ittegally parked vehicles.
