Comments from the Applicant:
The Applicant, Jeremy Capussi, and Davide Petretta of Petretta Construction Inc. were in attendance. Mr. Petretta thanked Mr. Brown for the concise summary of the Application. He stated that they did listen to the community's concerns and have seen the tremendous growth in Kingsville. He indicated that by eliminating the commercial traffic with this new design, it will certainly help the neighbours.
Comments from members of the Public:
Mary Ellen Havlik, indicated she lives kitty corner from the proposed development and her concern overall is that she does not see a vision for Main Street and hopes this addresses the gap. She stated that she appreciates the removal of the retail element but remains very concerned about traffic and traffic flow. She asked that a Victorian element be added to the design.
Carmen Smith, 23 Cherry Lane requests that a fence be added for privacy and noise abatement, rather than shrubbery as shown on the landscape plan, and asked about the construction schedule, so that she could have an opportunity to bring her concerns forward.
John Smith, also of 23 Cherry Lane, asked if the retention pond will be maintained (control of algae and nitrates), and stated that his major issue is the bollards and how that fits in with the transition. He also commented about the need for repair and maintenance to a section of Cherry Lane.
Mr. Brown responded that he will look into whether there is a pond maintenance plan in place, will look at the final landscaping plan and transitions, and will inquire with Municipal Services as to whether improvements to Cherry Lane can be expedited.
