RECOMMENDATION ¢

The Planning Committee recommends that in view of the high quality of
this project, the particular location of this commercial building backing onto
a lane and commercial uses beyond, the lack of windows on the residential
building to the rear and further in consideration of the history of this
property, where the applicant followed the instructions of the Planner to
develop a five unit townhouse complex rather than an apartment building of
nine to twelve units, the recommendation of the January 15, 1990 report from
the Planner be approved.

The Committee further recommended that Council states that this
application is approved due to the unusual circumstances surrounding this
project and the Planner be advised not to encourage similar variations in the
future and that this approval is net to be considered as precedent setting.

BACKGR UND

On Monday, January 22, 1990 Council in Committee referred the
referenced back to the Planning Committee for consideration. The issue was
put on the Agenda of Planning Committee of January 24, 1990 and a delegation
from the applicants was present to ciacuss the project.

After some discussion on the history and the special circumstances of
this project (see attached minutes of Planning Committee) the Planning
Committee decided to recommend to Council to endorse the recommendation of
January 15, 1990 from the Director of Community Planning and recommend that
Council pass a second motion to indicate that approval of this project should
not be considered as precedent setting for similar applications.
