o the proposed use is inappropriate and incompatible for the area o the proposed size of the building is 3 times the size permitted by the existing by-law o uses identified suggest that the site will be busy not only during services but also evenings and weekends when social activities occur o potential for accidents when vehicles exit the site onto Hurontario Street due to the high speed of traffic o area is a mix of rural and urban neighbourhood with some low rise industrial; the proposed height and mass of the building will overwhelm the area o traffic congestion on Sandalwood Parkway is already problematic; fire trucks are sometimes unable to turn onto Sandalwood Parkway from their station east of Highway 10. o fire and ambulance services will be impeded o a traffic study has not been submitted to the City for review as yet o parking area provided is insufficient for the size of the building, therefore, overflow will impact streets in the adjacent residential community o proposed dome will likely cause sun impact on some homes o the height of the minaret does not fit with the character of the surrounding buildings o insufficient buffering in the current proposal o will there be controls on noise generated during construction; what are the hours of operation during construction o will an environmental assessment be completed; existing plants and wildlife need to be considered o why is the original plan for the building being revised o will the number of parking spaces be increased to accommodate the additional vehicles o how many people are expected to worship at any one time o there is no access to the site from the west side of Highway 10 o some residents paid a premium for lots on a quiet cul-de-sac and would like the area to remain that way o residents understand that the community needs a mosque and would support a smaller scale building o the full impact of the proposed structure will not be seen until it is completed o many other faiths rent space to worship o industrial lands would be more suitable for this proposal The following residents spoke in support of the subject proposal: Mr. Farhan Khokhar Ahsar Butt Naseer Mirza Mahmud Mensah 10 Ferncastle Crescent 35 Ferncroft Place 62 Dewridge Court 49 Richgrove Drive 2006 03 06 Page 7 of 25
