The Manager Planning Services provides an overview of the original proposal for the subject property and the concerns raised at the first Public Meeting, held on September 25, 2018, regarding traffic. In addition, he explains the comments provided by the County of Essex Infrastructure Services (IS) regarding access to the subject property.
As a result, a new proposal has been submitted for a residential development for the entire property which includes four six-unit, three-storey dwellings for a total of twenty-four (24) dwelling units. The commercial component has been removed from the proposal. The revised proposal includes an access drive that meets the IS’s requirements.
He advises that the proposal has been reviewed with respect to traffic impact and servicing by the Town's consultants and no concerns have been identified. Furthermore, there are no adverse impacts with respect to compatibility with the surrounding land uses. The setbacks will not impact the abutting properties.

Jeff Sylvestre conveys James Sylvestre Enterprises 2003 supports the proposed development and only concern is with respect to the capacity of the sanitary sewers. He suggests the work be done in phases if the sanitary sewers will be experiencing more flow than originally anticipated.
The Director Public Works & Environmental Services advises he met with Mr. Sylvestre last week and the County of Essex is looking to twin the sanitary sewers, which is timely as the Town is updating the sanitary sewer model to ensure sufficient servicing to adjacent lands. He notes with respect to the subject property there will be an analysis provided with the next Planning report to Council with further recommendations.
