Re: Rezoning Application R#12-72

Legal: Lot 140, S.E. 1/4, Sec. 7, Twp. 40, Plan 28265.
Address: Lincoln Avenue west of Killarney

Area: 485.43' X 574.993!

Request: To rezone from RS-2 to RS-1

Comments: Mr. Spani and his Engineer Mr. Keenan were present at the discussion.

The school problem was dealt with first and from a meeting with the
School Board it would appear that sufficient facilities exist. It was pointed
out that Birchland Elementary will reduce the present load on ‘the Cedar Drive
Elementary School, however with the number of existing vacant lots plus proposed
subdivisions the situation could become critical. Mr. Smith and the School
Board are meeting with the Department of Education on May 18th, 1972 in regards
to their budget and future referendums and posses full knowledge of the anticipated
growth expected for the 1972-1973 School season. It was originally felt that
Development Area would produce the most desirable results. Mr. Spani pointed oe
out that enlight of the decision of Council to reserve the area surrounding his : ol
proposed subdivision he will agree and convanent to construct dwellings which
blend into the environmental area as well as develop in a matter which causes
the least environmental destruction.

Discussion persued along the engineering lines with regard to the
storm sewer location. It was decided that as the application proceeds the
engineering and preplanning scheme could be agreed to prior to the final reading.

Recommendation: The Committee recommends approval of the application from R5-2

to RS-1 subject to adequate planning and engineering drawings

being submitted and approved, and a convanent on the building size, finish and :
selective clearing being set up by the developer and approved pricr to final , g
reading of the By-law.
