Any developmentor site alteration will only be permittedsubject to specific criteria.Section 2.4 Community Design Strategy2.4.2.1 Streets and Streetscapes - regardshall be had to streetscape design, as well astransportation planning considerations, inreviewing proposals for new roads as wellas the relationship between the street andthe abutting development2.4.2.3 Street System – New DevelopmentAreasi) “Street patterns in new development areaswill be designed to reflect an interconnectedstreet system with a modified grid patternor other approaches that facilitatecontinuous and direct movement within thedevelopment area, and between thedevelopment area, abutting areas and theexisting community.”ii) “New development areas shall beconnected to the existing communitywhenever possible through roadconnections, as well as bicycle andpedestrian links. to ensure the communityfunctions in an integrated fashion. Theselinkages will be developed in a mannerwhich is sensitive to the character of theexisting areas, while promotingcommunication between all parts of thecommunity. In addition, street patterns innew development areas shall provide forfuture connections into abuttingundeveloped areas, whether or not suchareas are designated for development.However, the provision for possible futureconnections is not to be construed ascommitting abutting lands for futuredevelopment.”2.4.2.4 Streetscape Design to ensure that: buildings and structure oriented tostreetThe EIS and an EIS addendum reportsconcluded that there were no wetlandcommunities within the area proposedfor development. There is a wetlandcommunity in the EnvironmentalConstraint Area and the separationdistance (a minimum of 5 metres)between the edge of the developmentand the wetland was considered asufficient buffer.This section provides general designpolicies applicable to the subject lands.The proposed concept plan generallyaddresses the policies as follows:1. Streetscape Design and Landscaping buildings oriented to street; there is no public open space; garages are not dominant; landscaping can be used to definethe street although no details areprovided at this conceptual level;and, information on lighting is notprovided at this conceptual level.2. Street System connects to existing existingstreet will allow closure of access toMain Street North;3. Views The proposed developmentprovides views for the majority ofthe homes into the valley. Significant public views into thevalley are and will continue to beprovided from Main Street North,Oakside and Maple Brook.6. Safe Community Design The proposed road design createsa small community with goodvisibility from the proposedhomes; Other elements such as lightingwill form part of detailed design.This policy has beenaddressed and the detailswill be established as partof detailed designapprovals.The design concept ascurrently proposedgenerally satisfies, or hasthe potential to satisfy atthe detailed design stage,the design policies.B-3
