which does not identify any land acquisition being required from the subject parcels. Howard Avenue currently lacks curb and gutter as well as municipal sidewalks. The applicant is required to provide a cash contribution towards the future construction of this infrastructure. Through discussions with Transportation Planning we understand a Transportation Impact Study [TIS] is required in support of the proposed development. The applicant will be required to construct any improvements identified on Howard Avenue under the approved TIS.
Holburn Street is classified as a Class II Collector road, with the existing section to the east having a right-of-way width of 22m, with sidewalks on both sides of the street. The extension of Holburn to the east should have the same cross-section. As per standard practice, the City will be responsible for costs associated with upgrading Holburn from a local to a collector road within the plan of subdivision, based on a tender process satisfactory to the City Engineer.
Streets A, B, C, and D are local residential roads and shall have cross sections consistent with AS -206D. Corner cut-offs in the amount of 4.6m x 4.6m are required at the intersection of all local streets with Holburn Street, as well as at the Howard/Holburn intersection.
