development located at 95 Hollybrook Trail. In October 2018, the subject lands received Site
Plan Approval for36townhouseunits on a private roadway.Council recently approved a
Vacant Land Condominium for this property.
Private Street Naming Request
The applicant is proposing to name the private streetshown on the plan below ‘Hollybrook
Crescent’. The namewas chosen to maintain the consistency of the neighborhoodas some
of the units that face Hollybrook Trail have addresses that have already been established as
Hollybrook Trail. Hollybrook Crescent would allow the remaining units to have a unique
address while still being associated with the neighborhood.Naming of the private street will
eliminate the need for a complicated and unsightly Multiple Unit Identification Sign at the
entrance to the site. Also,site navigation for emergency services, residents and visitors to
the sitewill be improved.
The proposal has been circulated to a number of internal departments and no concerns were
raised, particularly from Fire and the Region. The dwellingswill be addressed in accordance
with the City’s Street Naming and Addressing Policy. The Region has approved the proposed
street name.
