More detailed landscape requirements will be provided at the time of site plan review.
Tree Preservation:
Require a tree survey identifying species, size, location, and condition of all trees on the subject lands as well as those located on the municipal rights-of-way of Roseland Drive East and Dougall Avenue. A significant municipal boulevard tree is proposed to be removed on Roseland Drive East. Relocation of the access drive from Roseland to be considered to preserve this tree. Require a tree protection plan to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Official and the City Forester, identifying which trees are to be retained and proposed preservation techniques to be implemented.
Parkland Dedication:There are no parkland implications beyond the usual requirement for cash-in-lieu of 2% parkland dedication.
PROPERTY ASSESSMENT – Jose Mejalli, August 30, 2019
We have no objection to the site specific zoning amendment to permit commercial use and the associated development.
TRANSIT WINDSOR – Jason Scott, Sep. 4, 2019
Transit Windsor has no objections to this development. We would prefer if the building was located along the road instead of the parking as that would help for walking distances to get to transit. Buildings that are located along the road with parking lots behind help to encourage active modes of transportation, such as transit. The closest transit service is located along Cabana at Dougall with the existing service offering 2 transit routes (Dougall 6 & South Windsor 7). The bus stops are an average of 400 metres away from this property so it just falls within the industry average walking distance to a transit stop of 400 metres.
