11-A-216 2  DeputationCATHY COLEBATCH CONCERNING MOTION 11-G-180 - ALLANDALE STATION LANDS - OPTIONS FOR THE FUTURE SALE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMERCIAL PORTION Cathy Colebatch, representative of the Allandale Neighbourhood Association, the Barrie Historical Society and the Allandale Railway Historical Society provided a deputation concerning motion 11-G-180 regarding the Allandale Station Lands - Options for the Future Sale and Development of the Commercial Portion. She stated that she is in opposition to the motion. Ms. Colebatch congratulated Council on the ongoing development and investment in the site. She observed that the restoration of the train station itself and the return of GO to the Allandale Waterfront are the first steps in a long development process to revitalize the community and city core. Ms. Colebatch expressed her belief that the lands should stay within public ownership. Ms. Colebatch indicated that the Allandale Neighbourhood Association opposes the division of the land into separate parcels and that it feels one parcel of land would allow for better development.

11-A-217 2  DeputationPAUL ECKER CONCERNING MOTION 11-G-180 - ALLANDALE STATION LANDS - OPTIONS FOR THE FUTURE SALE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMERCIAL PORTION Mr. Paul Ecker provided a deputation concerning motion 11-G-180 regarding the Allandale Station Lands - Options for the Future Sale and Development of the Commercial Portion. Mr. Ecker stated that he feels that the Request for Expressions of Interest issued in 2008 provided a vision for the site. He indicated that he does not believe that the 10 and 30 metre building setback guidelines for structures on the property is appropriate and that a 14 metre setback would greatly reduce height and density concerns of residents and address parking and line of sight issues. He commented that more creative possibilities could be generated with the reduced set back and through enlisting the talents and visionary gifts of architects. Mr. Ecker suggested that a design competition could be held to attract world renowned architectural firms. He felt that the City of Barrie should retain ownership of the rail lands and not sever and sell them on the open markReceived  Action details Not available
11-A-218 2  DeputationMR. ALAN FURBACHER CONCERNING MOTION 11-G-180 - ALLANDALE STATION LANDS - OPTIONS FOR THE FUTURE SALE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMERCIAL PORTION. Mr. Alan Furbacher of the Correct Group of Companies provided a deputation concerning motion 11-G-180 regarding the Allandale Station Lands - Options for the Future Sale and Development of the Commercial Portion. He provided several slides with conceptual images of the Correct Group’s proposal for the site. Mr. Furbacher commented that his company had been working with the City for approximately three years to develop a concept that would work with the site and not block views of the lake. He noted that their proposal creates a tourist friendly destination with a mix of uses that comply with the zoning of the site. Mr. Furbacher explained that he believes the Correct Group’s concept for the site will not overwhelm the train station, will encourage pedestrian movement throughout the site and the scale and massing of the buildings represent an appropriate level of density. He is not in favour of a 10 to 15 storey building for the site Received  Action details Not available
11-A-219 2  DeputationWILLIAM MOORE CONCERNING MOTION 11-G-180 - ALLANDALE STATION LANDS - OPTIONS FOR THE FUTURE SALE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMERCIAL PORTION William Moore of the Mandaville Group Inc. provided a deputation concerning motion 11-G-180 regarding the Allandale Station Lands - Options for the Future Sale and Development of the Commercial Portion. He commented that he feels that a balanced development of the property for Commercial and other uses that will not overpower the Train Station is appropriate. Mr. Moore explained that the City continued extensive consultation and encouraged the Correct Group to continue to move forward with their proposal once the YMCA withdrew from the project. He suggested that the Correct Group proposal contains a viable and balanced mix of the allowable Commercial uses. Mr. Moore indicated that he feels that only two things are left to consider, changing the plan or extracting more value by expanding the commercial uses. He commented that the site was appraised in August, 2010 for $3.0 million and he believes that the appraisal was flawed. Mr. Moore stReceived  Action details Not available
