  • Share I have lived on Waterford Bridge for over 30 years. In that time, ever increasing traffic has been a mounting concern among most area residents with whom I speak. Sections of the road are much too narrow to safely carry this traffic, combined with two separate schools located on the road with children commuting back and forth every day. Increased traffic generates increased noise, to the point where there are many times where noise levels affect our quality of life and the ability to enjoy our properties. Traffic volumes and their associated noise came to head this summer and became totally unbearable while road work shut down Pitts Memorial Drive. Concerns raised by numerous residents generated a commitment by the City representatives to conduct a traffic study of the area. An additional 85 apartment building will only add significant pressure to the traffic problems, not to mention a second application currently in the works for an additional multi-unit building at 7 Waterford Bridge Road.

    Regan H asked 9 months ago

    Thank you for your questions. The City does not regulate the price of apartment units, so the City will not be able to require a percentage to remain affordable. The site will not have a bus stop, however the applicant states the following in their Land Use Report:

    "Given the target demographic of the building, it anticipated that some residents wont have vehicles. In addition, the intent of the facility is that residents can avail of wrap around services provided by the Residence at Littledale, in particular the on site shuttle service in addition to public transit. The proponent intends to facilitate a shuttle service, for residents of the development, to curb requirements for personal vehicles. The details of the shuttle service are to be developed as the project is further refined and as tenants are onboarded. The intent is to provide a pay for service shuttle to major local transit hubs and public venues. Frequency and occupant loading may be determined based on tenant demand."

  • Share I have a number of questions that I would like to address with regards to the proposed apartment development on 214 Waterford Bridge Road by Jendore Ltd. 1) I would like to know how far the building will extend from Columbus drive towards Residence at Littledale? I live on Blue River Place and the building will be directly behind me. This building will affect my current view, along with my privacy. When the Residence at Littledale was being built I was told at the time that the tree line directly behind my house would not be impacted and would be left to ensure my privacy. This was not the case and the trees were removed leaving the space behind my house onto the roadway wide open. Are there any plans in place to plant rows of trees to ensure my privacy now especially with a new building being constructed. The residents of the apartments will have full view into my backyard. We purchased our property due to the fact that it was a very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood. I would like a commitment if possible to plant trees and do whatever is necessary to ensure my privacy as a homeowner. To add to this, the proposal states it will be a four storey building. Are there any plans to change the height and add more floors.? 2) What type of lightning is going to be used on the building, the type of light surrounding the building and the lightning on the parking lot. The lightning is a concern as the proposed building is directly behind my home. 3) I am concerned about the noise that will be generated from the proposed building and increase in traffic. Right now, noise from ( I assume the fans on the top of the building) Residence at Littledale can be heard especially at night and particularly in the summer when I leave my windows open. What is the proposal to minimize the noise generated by the air conditioning, the exhaust fans, etc. 4) I am very concerned that this proposed apartment building will decrease the resale value of my home and property. 5) With regards to clientele, it states that the apartment is for seniors and 55+. Is this guaranteed or is there a possibility it may change to accommodate other clientele, ie: families or people with dogs? I want it to be known that it was very noisy and stressful when the Residence at Littledale was being built. Work started early in the morning and at times went until later in the evening. The worksite generated a lot of dust. There were times I could not open my windows due to the dust and the noise. It was very disturbing at times, especially when I had guests and children. Sitting outside in the summer was near impossible due to the noise and dust. I appreciate all of my concerns being taken into consideration and await your response to my questions and concerns.

    Thank you for your questions. With respect to the questions regarding the building siting, lighting, traffic, and exhaust systems, more information about the application can be found in the Land Use Report. 

    The City does not regulate the users of a building, however the applicant has stated that the proposed building will be a senior apartment complex.

    Thank you for your question. Your question is related to a previous development and not the current application, however the applicant does note the following: The area in question had some dead trees that were removed, there is still substantial green space. The area in question is not being altered by this application. The proponent has spent considerable effort to ensure the maintenance of green space and has even facilitated walk trails for persons in the area.

    Thank you for your question. The are currently no City requirements for development adjacent to residents on a hillside. In particular, the proposed development will not be adjacent to Blue RIver Place should subdivision of lot and development proceed. 

    The applicant notes that they are set back quite far from any boundary with the residences with a green belt in between.

  • Share What was the rationale behind the existing prohibition of apartments on the property? I don't think it is "concern for the environment" or "green spaces" because the property is surrounded by single family homes which are worse in terms of the environment and green spaces. on Facebook Share What was the rationale behind the existing prohibition of apartments on the property?

    The property is located within the Institutional (INST) Zone because the uses on the site have historically been institutional uses. Apartment Building is not a use in the INST Zone, so a rezoning is needed to consider the development.

This to me seems bad faith from the council. on Facebook Share Why would you approve a senior apartment complex when we desperately need general apartments?
