In response to questions, Ms. J. von Westerholt stated in her opinion, the proposed Site Plan
condition would not be onerous for the applicant to fulfill, adding it would clarify access and parking
with regards to the new lot line. She noted there would likely be a Stamp Plan B so each site can
operate separately to each other. Ms. von Westerholt clarified a Record of Site Condition is typically
for a change of use for sensitive use. In this situation if that was a requirement, it would likely be
requested at the time a building permit was obtained.

Mr. K. Muir provided an overviewof the subject application, outlining the variances being requested
this date.
Mr. B. Kelly stated the comments provided by his client are in opposition to the subject application,
noting the proposed variances, together with the City's tall building guidelines, may prohibit the
construction of a tower building on his client's property municipally addressed as 45 Duke Street
West. He stated the comments referenced a letter related to the agreement of purchase and sale
between the City and the current owner of 45 Duke Street West, stating the City must assist in
finding suitable access to the property prior to any future development of the subject property. He
stated his client operates Elements Night Club, formally known as the Capital Theatre, and currently
they have an access easement at the rear of the property for large deliveries. He indicated there is
no adequate access on King Street West that would permit large tractor trailer deliveries. Mr. Kelly
stated the agreement of purchase and sale specifically states no development should be approved
by the City or anyone else until the laneway access is addressed. He further advised if the
Committee approves the subject development application, it could be placing the City in breech of
their contractual agreement and facing potential litigation regarding the laneway access. In
response to questions, Mr. Kelly advised this was the first time in which his client has participated
in a Public Planning process regarding the subject property. He could not confirm any other Public
Planning matters to which the property would have been subject.
Ms. J. von Westerholt advised she had spoken with the City's Legal Department, and it is their
opinion that the comments provided this date in opposition and the requested variances are two
separate issues. Ms. von Westerholt indicated the laneway access would be dealt with by the Legal
Department and the adjacent property owner, reiterating that is a separate issue to what is being
considered by the Committee this date. She further advised the subject property received a similar
minor variance approval for Phase I of the development, without objection from the neighbouring
property owner.
In response to questions regarding the Site Plan review, Ms. von Westerholt advised the design
has not yet received Site Plan Approval in Principle, indicating staff are aware the easement exists.
In response to the neighbouring property owners concerns regarding the location of the proposed
tall building being in closer proximity to King Street than permitted with regards to the 45 -degree
angular plane relative to the Tall Building Guidelines, she advised that they are guidelines which
acknowledge not all requirements outlined within guidelines can always be achieved, adding staff
strive to achieve the objectives of the guidelines and that there is often a balance of objectives. She
stated it was at staffs request to shift the proposed development closer to King Street West to give
greater separation between the proposed tower and the off-site tower separation to the adjacent
property. Ms. von Westerholt stated there needs to be balance and flexibility when applying those
guidelines.
