REPORT:
In October of 2016, the subject lands received Site Plan approval in principle for a 34 unit cluster
residential development comprised of back-to-back townhouses and standard townhouses. In order
to receive final site plan approval, in lieu of a Multiple Unit Identification Sign at the entrance to the
site, the applicant must fulfill a condition to obtain Council approval for a private street name.
Staff is of the opinion that in order to improve emergency services response and overall wayfinding
onlarge-scale developments such as this one, private streets should be named by Council. The
applicant agrees with the naming of the street and has embraced this approach in the interests of
the overall development.
Aprivate street namingprocess was established several years ago and has been successfully
implemented at Sportsworld Crossing on King Street East, at The Boardwalk on Ira Needles
Boulevard, and at Victoria Commons (1 Adam Street).In addition, naming the private streets
eliminates the need for large Multiple Unit Identification Signs at the two entrances to the site off Orr
Court.
The Region and a number of internal departments were circulated on the private street naming
request and no concerns were raised.

lanes. Legal Services would then give notice in The Record of the intent to pass a by-law to this
effect. The by-law would then proceed to Council for approval.
