Neighbours are up in arms over a single residential home on Cliff Avenue being demolished to make room for a parking lot.<\/p>\n

The lot at 10 Cliff Avenue, which also backs onto Meadow Park Drive, was recently purchased and cleared to provide staff parking for the dental practice of doctors Sharon and John Koncan.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

But area residents were before Huntsville\u2019s Planning Committee on January 13 to oppose the planning approvals required for the parking lot to proceed.<\/p>\n

Residents don’t want a parking lot in their neighbourhood<\/strong><\/p>\n

“They sort of put the cart before the horse here by pulling the house down,” said Meadow Park resident Tom Smith. He said the rezoning of the property to allow for the parking lot should\u2019ve happened before the house was torn down. \u201cI disagree with this whole process,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Other concerns expressed by residents included the parking lot\u2019s impact on property values, privacy, more noise, more lights, the lack of privacy fencing and landscaping, loitering, the lot\u2019s proximity to a school bus stop and its effects on the general feel and look of the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

Wendy Laver asks committee members to consider residents in residential neighbourhoods.<\/p><\/div>\n

Wendy Laver, an adjoining property owner, questioned what other proposals might come forward. \u201cWe need to take care of our residential areas and the people that live there,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The proponent
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Planner John Gallagher was before the committee on behalf of the Koncans and said the entrance to the parking lot would be moved so car lights don\u2019t interfere with the school bus stop. He also said the area would not have additional lighting and noted that it falls under a transition area of the central business district, which allows light commercial uses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should be noted that the transition area supports a variety of uses and those uses can include medium density residential as well as limited commercial development. So there could in theory be a commercial building on that property and still meet the requirements of the Huntsville Official Plan,\u201d he said, adding no building is being proposed for the site, just parking.<\/p>\n

Gallagher said the staff parking lot would house about 15 cars and free up additional parking space at the Sunrise Centre off King William Street, which houses the dentists as well as an orthodontist and optometrist. “I mean another alternative is having vehicles parked all up and down Cliff Avenue and Meadow Park and it\u2019s completely legal because it\u2019s not a no parking zone.”<\/p>\n

He also spoke about putting in place a cedar hedge buffer. In terms of noise complaints, he said the contractor used to plow the lot already being used for parking does not have a beeper on the snowplow.<\/p>\n

This parking lot is not going to be your typical parking lot. It\u2019s actually going to be a grassed parking lot. They put down a certain type of base on that property that will allow grass to be grown, so the majority of the time it will have an appearance of a grassed lot. planner john gallagher<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Councillor Nancy Alcock, who is chair of the committee, asked the residents to consider the fact that the parking lot would be more attractive than your standard asphalt parking lot.<\/p>\n

A parking lot is a parking lot whether you dress it up or not. It\u2019s like putting lipstick on a pig. Cliff Avenue resident Luis Rivero<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"DSC_0224\"Patrick Ramirez, also a resident of Cliff Avenue, said, \u201cIf you walk this neighbourhood you would see that this lot is a very integral part of that neighbourhood\u2026 If that lot is rezoned and a parking lot is put in place, that neighbourhood is just not going to have that same feel.\u201d He also said the house that was demolished could be considered affordable housing. \u201cWe need more properties like that not less.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huntsville Planning Committee members weigh in<\/strong><\/p>\n

Councillor Bob Stone seemed to agree with the residents. \u201cI understand it\u2019s a transition area but it\u2019s very much a residential area and obviously by the comments we\u2019ve heard, they\u2019re worried about the property values as well as the whole community,\u201d said Stone.\u201cI\u2019m worried that if we approve this we\u2019re going to be rewarding bad behavior by the fact that the house was demolished first before the use was approved,\u201d he said, adding the approval is easier now that the house has been demolished and there\u2019s a vacant property there now.<\/p>\n

Councillor Karin Terziano had a different take. \u201cWe need to understand that the Official Plan actually supports this and this is a planning committee meeting,\u201d she said. She likened the issue to the parking lot behind the Hometown drugstore on Main Street, which she said was once a residential home. \u201cWe have lots of areas that have transitioned into parking lots and into commercial from residential because we grow as a municipality and I think this is almost natural that we will continue to grow. And some day, not in our lifetimes, that entire side of that street may become commercial or something similar to commercial because that\u2019s what happens when towns grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the end, committee approved the rezoning conditional on a site plan approval. The approval is contingent on several requirements: installing a privacy fence and a two-metre high cedar hedge, ensuring that the snowplow used to clear the lot does not have a beeper, not installing additional lighting on the property, and shifting the entrance more toward Morris Avenue.<\/p>\n

The site plan will make its way back to committee before it is finally approved.<\/p>\n
