ii) Report of R. Brown, dated July 25, 2019;
iii) Proposed By-law 79-2019, being a By-law to amend By-law 1-2014, the Comprehensive Zoning By-law for the Town of Kingsville.
Mr. Brown presented the Planning Report. He stated that the Applicant's planner, who had prepared the justification report, is also in attendance this evening.
Comments from the Applicant's Agent:
Ms. Jackie Lassaline, appearing on behalf of the Applicant, presented a brief PowerPoint presentation. She stated that the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment will establish a regulatory framework that supports an appropriate conversion that will fit well within the existing neighbourhood. She stated that the Town has a significant need for rental apartments, and that the proposed duplex dwellings will provide alternative reasonable-sized residential units.
Comments from the public:
Joanne Rivard, 222 Sandybrook Way, expressed the concern that the duplex dwellings proposed are to be utilized as rooming houses, not rentals and asked how the Town can guarantee these won't be occupied by international workers vs. families.
Matt McCracken, 646 Jasperson Lane, stated that he agrees with Ms. Rivard with respect to the duplex units potentially being utilized as rooming houses. He expressed concerns about garbage pails being left on the properties, parking, and the potential for an increase in the number of vehicles that may be parked in front of the units.
Joe Wilds, 56 Jasperson. stated that he is not opposed to the usage, but is concerned about how it will affect the flavour of the neighbourhood in the future.
There were no further comments from anyone in attendance in the audience.
