Moved, seconded and CARRIED
THAT Bylaw No. 2817 be now adopted.

Mr. Jack Smith 87 – 2000 Panorama Drive indicated his opposition to the variance permits on the following grounds:

• opposed to proposed rooftop patios
• opposed to all variances that affect height and east side yards as it would affect his view which would reduce his home equity
• opposed to other setbacks which would bring the commercial development closer to the adjacent school
• opposed to front yard setback on basis of aesthetics as it would bring the development closer to the front sidewalk than other buildings in the area
• opposed to parking variances because there already is a shortage of on-street parking and a commercial development requires more parking
• disappointed that handicapped parking is not required
• opposed to elimination of the loading requirement for commercial purposes as this would affect traffic which would affect the school
• concerned that the development proposed will negate the possibility of a daycare which would need parking and loading space.

In response to questions from Council, staff responded to the issues raised.

Moved, seconded and CARRIED
THAT staff be authorized to issue North Shore Development Authorization (NSDA) No. 2010-29 and Development Variance Permit No. 2010-71 for 300 Panorama Place, subject to the required documentation, architectural, servicing, and landscape plans and the submission of fees and securities to the satisfaction of staff;
