Discussion topics based on comments received to date
Natural Environment
An Environmental Impact Study, Arborist Report, Tree Preservation Plan and Restoration Plan have been submitted to assess any potential impacts to significant environmental features in the area. An open space block is proposed as part of the Plan that will be conveyed to the Township to protect a wetland in this area. In addition, a restoration plan has been provided that proposes plantings to enhance this environmental space.
Community Amenities
A park block 1 hectare in size is proposed along the Open Space Block in close proximity to the existing parkland behind Robin Trail and Greenway Blvd. Trails will be provided to connect the park block in the north end down to King Street and a multi-use path will be incorporated along the King Street frontage. Both School Boards have reviewed the proposed plans and have no objections to the proposed subdivision. Both School Boards noted that any potential students that would move into this subdivision could be accommodated within existing schools in the area.
Number of Homes / Density
239 single detached homes and 86 townhouses are currently proposed for a total of 325 residential units. The majority of the townhouse blocks are located in the south part of the plan closer to King Street. The proposed mix of units conforms to the Township’s Official Plan that calls for a range of housing types to be provided within Port Perry. The density for this development would be defined as low-medium density development in accordance with the Township’s Official Plan.
Traffic Concerns
The proposed plan establishes a road network that attempts to minimize the creation of local roads that traverse the entirety of the subdivision in a direct fashion for the purpose of traffic calming. Traffic Impact work has been undertaken and submitted for review and approval. The traffic study concludes that the proposed development can be accommodated by the abutting street system and that traffic generated by the proposed development does not add adverse impacts on the nearby road network.
Drainage
The Functional Servicing Report has been reviewed by the Township and Region and provides an overview of the existing and proposed drainage for this area. Consideration of existing concerns regarding the drainage of Union Avenue are being reviewed as part of this development and the Union Avenue reconstruction project.
Servicing Infrastructure
The Functional Servicing Report submitted has been reviewed by the Region with respect to water and sewer infrastructure. Build-out of this subdivision will require upgrades to the Water Street Pumping Station. The Region is currently undertaking an Environmental Assessment for this pumping station, which is anticipated to be operational by 2024.
