On Monday, the planning committee of city council approved a 179-unit housing development in the Minnow Lake community, though they added two conditions that Ward 4 Coun. Geoff McCausland cautioned his colleagues might end up killing the project altogether
A 179-unit housing development in the Minnow Lake neighbourhood has been approved following a more than four-hour discussion dominating Monday’s planning committee meeting.
“This has definitely brought our neighbourhood closer together, as all of us are united against this proposal,” area resident Tim Lee said during Monday’s public hearing, citing a public petition totalling almost 300 names as evidence of this sentiment. People are afraid of the development bringing increased traffic, parking issues, crime and needles, and that it would reduce property values.“Would you be able to welcome this development into the neighbourhood, or do you feel that there would be some type of animosity going on?” Ward 11 Coun. Bill Leduc asked Martin-Venne. “Thank you,” Leduc answered. “I think that’s important because we do want to create a healthy community.
An additional 13 two-storey buildings ranging in units from two to 12 are expected to fill out the balance of the property, including a “mix of multiple, row and semi dwelling units.” “The road network can support those peak hours,” city traffic and asset management supervisor Joe Rocca said, noting that traffic flow outside of these two peak hours is expected to be less.
Both Ward 6 Coun. René Lapierre and Ward 4 Coun. Geoff McCausland voted against the height restriction, and both McCausland and Kirwan voted against increasing the number of parking spots.
