MEMORANDUM

Mr. B.R. Kirk November 1, 1989
City Administrator

Mr. W. Brown
Director of Planning

1408 Chelsea Avenue
Rezoning Application File No 55/89

RECOMMENDATION :

THAT the Clerk's Office be directed to prepare a bylaw rezoning the
subject property from an RS-3 to an RS-2 zoning designation.

AND THAT the applicant be required to thin trees in the nature reserve
within 20 meters along the boundary of the subdivision.

AND THAT the applicant be required to construct a fence around the
perimeter of the property except a road ends.

AND THAT the applicant be required to construct Chelsea Avenue to a
full standard to the eastern limit.

AND THAT the developer institute design control for houses constructed
in the subdivision

This application is to rezone an 18 acre block of land north of the
Riverwood Subdivision. The proposal is to connect Lincoln to Chelsea and
Toronto.

All of the lots in the subdivision are proposed to have an RS~-2
designation. Lots along cul-de-sacs and curve sections of roads will be
larger than the minimum lot size. Most of the lots are proposed to be
standard RS-2 dimensions, 375 sq meters (4,000 eq ft) and have a 12 metre (40
ft) frontage. Due to the lots being mostly uniform and of a small size,
design control is felt to be important. It is recommended the developer
institute a building scheme to provide design control of the houses. A
concern about the project is that it has a north and east exposure along the
Nature Reserve. In recognition of the shading problem at Juniper Avenue where
there are similar circumstances, it is recommended the developer thin trees
along the perimeter of the Nature Reserve back 20 meters to permit sunlight
penetration.
