Jason asked about 4 years agoThe following response was provided by the School Board - "The Durham District School Board planning staff assess the needs of the board on an annual basis. At this time the development needs within the Township of Scugog do not justify the construction of a school on the Union Avenue site. Board staff will continue to maintain ownership of the site. When a school can be justified for construction a Funding submission to the Ministry of Education will be submitted. DDSB staff will continue to work with Township of Scugog staff to examine development needs and future school site needs in the Town of Port Perry."
There will be improvements made to the existing stormwater management (SWM) pond behind Earl Cuddie/Greenway Blvd (known as the Perryview SWM Pond) in order to accommodate the draft approved subdivisions on the west side of Union Avenue, being the Ribcor and Chieftan subdivisions. These improvements will also accommodate this proposed subdivision by Delpark. The Township is currently working with the developers to finalize the detailed plans for the pond and works on the Perryview SWM Pond are anticipated to start later this year.

Share Why has a number of large blocks of Townhouses been moved to the more central location shown? They were much more acceptable as originally placed at the south end.

GRideout asked about 4 years agoThe townhouse units were relocated to balance the policies of the Scugog Official Plan that directs townhouses be dispersed and integrated throughout new developments, with the desire to keep the townhouse units more central and closer to the Robin Trail/King Street intersection. It was Delpark Home’s intention to not back townhouses onto existing lots that front onto Union Avenue and Perryview Drive. Delpark Homes will review the plan with respect to any proposed townhouses that back onto existing lots on Union Street.
The noise study reviewed the potential for traffic noise from King Street to impact the residents in the new houses near King Street (including the medium density townhouse units). Noise studies do not review the noise impacts from residential buildings on other residential uses as the buildings themselves do not generate excessive noise.

This switch makes more sense re emergency vehicles and avoiding present residential areas. asked about 4 years agoA Virtual Public Meeting has now been scheduled for November 16, 2020 at 6:30 pm. Residents can watch the meeting livestreamed via the Township's official YouTube channel or participate electronically by contacting the Township.
The most recent subdivision plan proposed maintains the road connection to Mead Drive. The traffic work submitted by the applicant's traffic consultant notes that the proposed road network provides a sufficiently direct route for most of the units in the development to use the Robin Trail/King Street intersection. The Mead Drive connection provides an alternative route for new and existing residents to use, but, at the same time, the route is discontinuous enough that it is anticipated that this will not be used as a “cut-through” on a regular basis.

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.
