Addressing Community Concerns in Winston Heights-Mountview

2

• Shadow studies establish that shadowing from a 20 storey tower at the south limit of the site is not worse than a 6 storey structure at the northern limits of the site; in fact, a low slab tower of 12 stories (assuming the same density) blocks off more light and sun penetration.

• The suggested height limits can be used to determine the capacity or potential density of the site, then redistribute this density through varying heights of structures to create visual interest.

• Taller structures with a smaller footprint allow for more light and sun penetration.

• The bulk of the required parking will be underground; this is primarily a residential requirement.

• Retail and office parking will mostly be surface parking within site and some underground, as required.

• Retail is street-oriented and pedestrian-oriented – local residents walking to the shops will reduce parking requirements.

• Anticipated retail is small scale (1000 m2 / 11,000 sq.ft. maximum).

• There should be no necessity for street parking.

• Access to the development is from 16th avenue service road or Moncton Road.

• There is no need to access from 17th avenue.

• Excess traffic will be directed into the site, not around it; this property is on the edge of the community.

5

• The bulk of parking is provided underground.

• Surface parking is within the development with access from 16th avenue service road or Moncton Road.

• Traffic generated will not spill onto 17th avenue.

• Frontages of existing houses can be classified as designated parking for residents (tow-away zone).
