"It will become an ur- ban pedestrian-oriented place that is a focus for em- ployment growth, includ- ing population growth that is compatible with its sur- roundings," he said. The plan for the area is to achieve a minimum den- sity of 150 residents and jobs combined per hectare, which Sunderland said is in accordance with the pro- vincial growth plan. Overall, the area is planned to accommodate 8,200 residents and 18,600 jobs by 2051. Sunderland said the current plan for this area calls for building heights ranging from two to 20 sto- reys. The tallest buildings, he said, would be located around the Bronte GO sta- tion while the lowest, rang- ing in height from two to four storeys, would be to the south of the site, at the border of the existing resi- dential area. Sunderland said a de- veloper would have the ability to apply for up to four additional storeys for a structure in this area. Jim Levac of Glen Schnarr and Associates Inc, spoke on behalf of the owners of multiple proper- ties located at a southwest- ern portion of the site. He said this group sup- ports the plan, but is call- ing for a section of green space to separate the plan area from the bordering residential communities. "The existing vegeta- tion and mature tree line that is there now should be incorporated into a public- ly owned linear open space feature along the southerly limit of those properties," said Levac. He also said greater building heights should be permitted in the vicinity of Speers Road, noting a height range of eight to 12 storeys would be more ap- propriate than the two to four storeys listed in the existing plan. Emma West of Bous- fields Inc., spoke on behalf of a client who owns a property at 2172 Wyecroft Rd. She said her client would like to see 20-storey building heights permitted at that site, which West noted is just 100 metres from the Bronte GO station platform. At present, the plan would see heights of three to eight storeys at that lo- cation. Leo Longo of Aird and Berlis LLP spoke on behalf of a client who owns 15 acres of property to the west of the Bronte GO sta- tion. He too called for higher building heights and densi- ties than are currently be- ing planned. Council also heard from several residents. Corbin Crawford said he liked the idea that was floated of a 19- to 20-degree sight line being used as a delineating line for the height of the buildings ad- jacent to the residential ar- eas and of green space sep- arating the development area from the residential communities. "As a resident in the low-density area, it would make it much easier for me to accept any of the chang- es happening north of me with that sort of plan," said Crawford. STORY BEHIND THE STORY: The Town of Oak- ville is considering major intensification for the area surrounding the Bronte GO station and we wanted to let residents know what is being contemplated and what property owners within this area and near- by residents are saying about it. NEWS Continued from page 1 Brad Sunderland of the town's planning services department is among those working on the development of land around the Bronte GO station.
