5. In reviewing the subdivision design and parks, severa!]
changes in design of cul-de-sac loops and open space areas were
suggested. Those changes have now been made. Tha changes
included; elimination of several ornamental! Parks or
alternatively reducing their size and changing planting to low
maintenance ground cover. In most of the cul-de-sacs and loop
roads the latter approach of Planting ground cover has been
used. This alternative was seiected for two reasons. Firstly,
it meets the developer's intent of introducing landscaped open
Space into the subdivision to enhance its quality. The second
reason is that it goes a long ways towards the criteria
Suggested by Council of eliminating maintenance costs. It does
not eliminate maintenance entirely but Genstar is offering to
maintain the landscaping for two years until it is firmiy
established.

Details about construction and financing of parks are stii| to
be completed. That area will be covered in the development
agreement for. subdivision as it is a requirement for
Subdivision rather than Zoning (Municipal Act). {t+ should bea
pointed out, that agreement in principle for construction and
financing of parks has been reached. ;

6. The final point to be covered in this report is the zoning
districts: to be applied and their location. Agreement was
reached at an early stage: about the subdivision concept and
density being proposed. Essentially, the Genstar subdivision
is an extension of the developed part of Mary Hill in’ terms of
land-use and density. In view of this compatibility and level
