The retained lands would have been approximately 1,435 square metres in size with 15 metres of frontage on Madeline Street and house the second four-unit townhouse proposed as well as the single residential home currently on the lot. The lands to the rear are steep and zoned Conservation. The proponents were seeking an exception to the rear-yard setback to reduce it from the required 10 metres to five metres.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concerns of area property owners<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two letters opposing the development were received by the Town. According to Huntsville&#8217;s Manager of Planning Services, the objections included: the frontage on each lot not being equal, concerns about the increase in the density of the area and parking issues on the street, objection to the setback exception sought, additional traffic in a cul de sac, the poor condition of the road, water flow, and the condition of the existing septic system on the property and whether or not sewer services to the property would be available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Planning consultant argues for more affordable housing geared for seniors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Varadas told committee that the new rental units would be designed and constructed to be categorized as affordable and would be geared to seniors. He said the character of the area is already mixed in residential styles and argued that Huntsville\u2019s Official Plan promotes and encourages affordable housing in the core area of the Town. In terms of intensification, he said the OP sets out density maximums for the different levels of residential developments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLow density is capped at 20 units per hectare and this development calculates an approximate density of 23.5 units per hectare. It\u2019s slightly over what you\u2019d classify as low-density residential (development).\u201d He also said should the request for a five metre backyard reduction be denied, the building&#8217;s positioning would cause greater impact. &#8220;The alternative would be to turn that building perpendicular to Madeline Street and I believe with the four units now facing the existing dwelling to the West, I think the impact of that would be far greater than what\u2019s being proposed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Varadas said the lands behind the proposed townhouses are steep and zoned Conservation and comprise part of the planned Eagle Ridge subdivision. He said no development is proposed there other than a sitting area for residents. He also said that in speaking with the District Municipality of Muskoka \u201cthey believe it\u2019s possible for a temporary connection to service the proposed severed lot with water and sewer without any need for extension. It\u2019s the proposed retained lot that will require an extension of services. It\u2019s the intent of my client to start the development on the severed lot and then work towards, in the future, developing the retained lot as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12623\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/03\/Madeline-Street.jpg\" alt=\"Madeline Street\" width=\"939\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/03\/Madeline-Street-630x380.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/03\/Madeline-Street.jpg 939w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjacent property owners argue density is already high on Madeline Street and seniors don&#8217;t want stairs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Adjacent property owners on Madeline Street were before Committee reiterating their opposition to the proposal. \u201cWe are not anti-low-income multi-unit housing, as I\u2019ve stated our immediate neighbourhood already contains several buildings of this type. What we are strongly against here is adding even more multi-housing units to this already densely packed, highly diverse neighbourhood,\u201d said Mary Love, adding that her bedroom window would be facing the proposed parking lot associated with the new development, a two-storey, four-unit building \u201cthat would tower over our bungalow. That\u2019s not okay with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She argued that affordable housing is not required to be stacked heavily in one particular neighbourhood. \u201cAffordable housing should be mixed throughout a town. Huntsville is a growing town, if the Official Plan is such a driving force and the need for affordable housing, why are multiplex units not being built into the new subdivision plans on suitably sized lots prior to their development?\u201d she questioned.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>How can you say it is good planning to jam in two, two-storey fourplexes right at the end of the street of single family homes which provide the balance in this heavily populated part of town?<br \/>\n<cite>Madeline Street resident Mary Love<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Love also said two-storey housing for seniors does not make sense. \u201cThey\u2019re looking for housing without stairs,\u201d she argued. She added that single-level handicap units are what this town really needs.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Committee turned down the proposal, despite staff\u2019s recommendation for approval, without further comment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A plan to sever a lot containing a single residential home on Madeline Street, off Sabrina Park Drive, in order to build two four-unit townhouses, did not go well for [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":12624,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[26],"class_list":["post-12574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-breaking"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
