"We think we would have a viable product for SCORA community members looking to downsize and live on one floor while staying in the mature tree neighbourhood they revere. "This would also encourage an appropriate mix of housing types, densities, design and tenure throughout the town." Bobesich said going with a condominium would also reduce the amount of surface parking in the area as it would provide underground parking to tenants and guests. Area-resident Jill Devlin called on Canada Lands to double the amount of parkland currently proposed for the site. "Green is good," she said. "Keep more of that open, calm feeling. Even when you look at SCORA's designs compared to the CLC's you just get more of a feeling of open green space and places for people to enjoy the outdoors." Dialogue between CLC, Stephan Bobesich SCORA and other stakeholders is continuing. Canada Lands Real Estate general manager Norm Jarus said the corporation has been trying to address the concerns residents have brought forward. These changes include reducing the number of townhouse units planned for the site from 65 to 59. The number of single dwelling units went up as a result from 60 to 66. "We have revised the proposed development to reduce the number of townhouses, increased the number of single family homes, eliminated the public rear lanes for the townhouses, increased the park size and enhanced the landscaping "We think we would have a viable product for SCORA (Southwest Central Oakville Residents' Association) community members looking to downsize and live on one floor while staying in the mature tree neighbourhood they revere." Stephan Bobesich, president of SCORA (Southwest Central Oakville Residents Association) along Dorval Drive," said Jarus. "We believe these revisions addressed many of the comments received during the consultation process." Numerous consultations and open houses have been held to discuss the DND lands issue. With the public's comments received, Town staff will put together a recommendation regarding the development, which will be brought before the Town's Planning and Development Council for approval at a later date.
