1. Submission No.: B 2021-045 (Contd)
J. Hale was in attendance in support of the application .
The Committee considered the written submission in opposition to the subject application.
The Committee heard delegations in opposition to the proposed development from P. Giles; N.
Weaver; and, P. Snow. The delegations expressed concerns regarding the need for an additional
environmental study, the level of intensification, the impact on the streetscape, traffic and parking,
flooding, impact to the mature trees, access for emergency vehicles, garbage, and snow removal.
In response to the Committee's questions, A. Pinnell explained that the site condition process would
require an environmental assessment, which would indicate if cleanup is required, and noted that
the Zoning By-law would regulate the building's height and setback. A. Pinnell further described the
mix of housing density in the area and that there were no heritage concerns. A. Pinnell stated that
the status of the site condition assessment was unknown and under the domain of the Region of
Waterloo.
J. Meader commented that the duplex could be configured to suit the area's character and
suggested the wording of the decision be amended to clarify that an independent qualified person
undertakes the site condition assessment.
S. Hannah noted that while the Zoning permitted the proposed development they were concerned
about assessing the tests for intensity and compatibility without elevation drawings. Further noting
that reviewing the proposed development without elevations or drawings as it could set a precedent
for the street and suggested the application might have been made prematurely, as the site
condition assessment process can take considerable time and might impact the ability to comply
with the requirements of the order before the deadline.
A. Pinnell suggested that the duplex is a permitted use and that the proposed development would
need to comply with the regulations of the Zoning By-law.
B. McColl raised that there were no other multi-density housing on the street and stated that while
there might be mixed-use housing elsewhere in the neighbourhood, the proposed development
does not fit the existing streetscape. B. McColl expressed concern that the increased density was
too great and that the scale and massing were unknown without submitted plans and likely
incompatible with the existing streetscape.
J. Meader shared their agreement and preference to receive full development proposed when
severance is requested to ensure that it is not premature.
M. Kidd also expressed concerns regarding the streetscape and culture of the neighbourhood.
The applicant stated that they were prepared to fulfill conditions for the site condition assessment,
would fully comply with the requirements of the Zoning By-law, and confirmed that they could
provide elevation drawings.

intended that the building would fit into the neighborho

their concerns during the site plan process with staff rather than defer the matter to a future meeting.
