REPORT:
In April of this year, the subject lands received Site Plan approval for a 34unit cluster residential
development comprised of standard townhouses. The owner is proposing a private street name
in lieu of a Multiple Unit Identification Sign at the entrance to the site. To facilitate this, the
applicant must 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 naming process was established several years ago and has been successfully
implemented at Sportsworld Crossing on King Street East, at The Boardwalk on Ira Needles
Boulevard,Vitoria Commons (1 Adam Street) and Apple Hill Lane.In addition, naming the
private streets eliminates the need for large Multiple Unit Identification sign on site.
The Region and a number of internal departments were circulated on the private street naming
request and no concerns were raised.
Should Council approve the
prepare a by-law upon receipt of a reference plan from the applicant showing the proposed
private streets and 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.
