Councillor Andy Chateau- vert raised the question and stated he believed that there was an agreement between CIOVelawn and residents on Springhead Gardens that there would be no access on to Springhead. "You do not feel it would be more advan- tageous to amend the by- RICHMOND HILL An eight foot landscaped area as required by the by- law was indicated along each road and a four foot high brick wall to buffer the quadrex to the south and the single family residence to the west from cariights. This will be supplemented with an intermix of maple and fir trees which will also serve as an amenity. It is proposed to save the existing chestnut tree on the Spring- head Garden front with other trees added in that area. Two entrances were placed on Springhead Gardens. Mr. Alcol‘n explaining after the question was raised that the Weldrick Road frontage was not wide enough to accom- modate an access driveway without an amendment to the Ibylaw, which requires that a driveway must be at least 50 feet from an inter- section. law?" he asked. He aISO‘homes do not have questioned the type of out- ,but have assigned sp door lighting to be used and the parking area. “If A sharp difference in opinion between resi- dents of the Weldrick Road area, who have lived there for some years, and residents of Spring- hea-d Gardens, a street in the new BAIF Subdivâ€" ision. was very evident at the August 13 meeting of Richmond Hill Council’s Planning Committee. Under discussion was a site plan agreement for a Mac’s Milk store to be built by Cloverlawn Invest- ments Ltd. at the corner of Weldrick Road and Springhead Gardens. The difference of opinion was expressed by Ward 6 Councillor Lou Wainwright, who said, “This is my area, I've lived there for 25 years. We have always had a ser- vice store and we would miss that store. But the new resid- ents don't see it the same way we do. I appreciate both problems, and believe that the people in both factions must get the best deal we can get for them." ZONED COMMERCIAL The proposed site plan agreement was presented by Planning Assistant Randy Alcorn. The site on the southwest corner of Weldrick Road and Springhead Gar- dens is zoned commercial, he reported. To the east across Springhead is a townhouse condominium complex, to the north across Weldrick Road 'are single family re- sidences, to the south is a quadrex and to the west one single family home on a lot which is also zoned commer- cial. The proposal conforms to the zoning bylaw In all respects, Mr. Alcorn said, providing parking space to serve the 1,100 square feet of retail area. which will have 550 square feet of stor-. age space. its effect on the observatory. “Weldrick Road is a mid- block collector road," re- plied Mr. Alcorn, “and has an 86-foot road allowance. Ultimately it may be a four- lane road and a really busy artery. In this total conces- sion block there will event- ually be 33,000 people." FLOODING The owner of the property to the west expressed con- cern about flooding condi- tions across his property and the corner lot from the ad- iacent BAIF development “which was built about three feet higher than the natural grade. The water runs off on to my property. Where’s it going to run in the future if that brick wall is built? That‘s my only concern. I’m in favor of the store." The matter of drainage was referred to council’s works committee, which is chaired by Councillor Wain- wright. ENTRANCES S. G. Rutherford of Spring- head Gardens reminded Mr Alcom of a meeting at which the possibility of an entrance off Weldrick was discussed. “You were going to investigate", he said.

"One entrance on Springhead and one on Weldrick. We're not going to run out of milk in the mean- time." “The owner can serve us with a writ of mandamus to issue a building permit if we delay too long and the end result would be that there would be no site plan agreement and none of the ‘Eeatures described here to- night would have to be in- jcluded," said Mr. Rimon. “He is under no legal obli- ggation to enter into this S.

He also noted that a four foot wall would be a temptation for children to climb on. to investigate", he said. “It would require an amending bylaw and the owners were not willing to go through that exercise." answered Mr. Alcorn. The ratepayer asked why an alternative suggested by neighbors which would have placed the building on the south side rather than the west side had not been con- sidered. The answer was that the bylaw requires a setback of 30 feet and a backyard of 20 feet and this would not be possible in the south side position.

A resident of the area for some years, Shirley Stanley, said she would support the site plan agreement as it is, DANGER SPOT But the Springhead Gar- den residents were particu- larly concerned about the more southerly of the two entrances which would be located directly opposite the exit from the townhouse parking lot and could lead to traffic problems and col- lisions. Mr. Rutherford asked the planner to try to bring both entrances north of the existing chestnut tree â€" or to eliminate the southerly entrance and have only one. Mr. tAlcorn felt that this would be inconvenient as a milk store is “a flow-through type of thing. It would be more difficult to get out." Mr. Stephenson reported the question had been thrashed out at works com- mittee many times. “It don't mittee many times. “I don‘t know of any proposal which has had more hours spent on it." “I think life is a lot more important than a tree,” said Mr. Chateauvert. “If the tree has to go to protect people ,in that townhouse complex, then it has to go." agreement." “In other words, We can’t force the owner to apply for a zoning amendment," ex- plained Mr. Wainwright. “He’s meeting the bylaw." “Then the bylaw comes ahead of the people.

Shirley Stanley, said she would support the Hancey suggested that a sol- ution might be to have one opening designated entrance and the other exit and a ratepayer suggested that it would probably be better to have the entrance at the south and the exit at the north.
