South of the initial development site.

At 8:45 p.m. Alderman Laking, because of a personal interest in the
project, left the Council Chamber.

The Planning Officer advised that the previous scheme was rejected
by the Council last month because of the density being too high, no
access to the two properties to the South, and access into the development
via a 30' lane between the site and other properties fronting on Prairie
Avenue, and stating that the developer has since attempted to pick up
portions of lots to the South as well as reducing the density from 11 to
about 9 units per acre; also, access will now be provided from York
Street via a private driveway, and ending in a cul-de-sac which will
gerve as a turn-around for emergency vehicles. The Planning Officer
further advised that there will be 28 units in the form of 7 clusters,
surfaced driveways and interlocking walkways throughout the entire site.
Alderman Mabbett inquired as to the disposition of the 66" road allowance,

and the Planning Officer advised that only 20' is proposed for lane pur-

poses, with the remainder to be incorporated into the project site;

however, this aspect will be referred to the Land Sale Committee following
approval of the application. Mr. J. Horvath, the project architect,

then spoke to the new proposal, and to a query from Alderman Thompson,
advised that there would be approximately 45' to 50' distance between

the buildings, that each 3-level unit would consist of 1,300 square feet
in total and would be separated from the adjoining unit by a common
stairwell. Alderman Ranger stated he did not favour the development,

even though the density has been reduced, as it is right in the middle

of a single-family residential area; also, he stated he thought the
residents on Prairie Avenue had some right to the lane allowance at the
rear of their properties. Acting-Mayor Alderman Traboulay commented

that at the Public Information Meeting held on the original proposal,

the residents in attendance generally expressed concern about school
accommodation and fencing, but there were no specific complaints in terms
of the units to be constructed. Alderman Keryluk pointed out the developer
had endeavoured to incorporate the suggestions made to him by Council when
the application was last considered, and that he felt the new concept

was quite acceptable.
