Re: iVl\jlj-2007-40
Pin Oak Drive
Parking Control Review
RECOMMENDATION:
That a "no parking" restriction be installed on the east side of Pin Oak Drive between a
point 310 metres south of McLeod Road and a point 450 metres south of McLeod
Road.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has recently conducted a parking study on Pin Oak Drive between McLeod Road
and Canadian Drive. The concern stemmed from heavy vehicle traffic parking on Pin
Oak Drive, and as a result restricts visibility to transit drivers exiting the mall property.
in the study area Pin Oak Drive is a collector roadway consisting of two travel lanes,
one in each direction. The 650-metre section of Pin Oak Orive serves as a direct
access to commercial properties fronting the roadway, including Niagara Square. The
roadway is 13.5 metres at its widest section and 10 metres at its narrowest section.
Curbs are present on both sides of Pin Oak Drive from McLeod Road to a point just
south of the southern mall access, There are no parking restrictions on Pin Oak Drive,
Niagara transit utilizes the south driveway on Pin Oak Drive as an egress from the mall.
Staff carried out technical studies on Pin Oak Orive to determine whether parking
revisions are required on the study roadway. During observations, a heavy vehicle was
noted parked on the east side of Pin Oak Drive just south of the southern mall access.
The road width adjacent to the developed mall site is sufficient to allow parking on both
sides of the road, while permitting unimpeded access for two-way traffic simultaneously,
In addition, vehicles parked on both sides of the roadway will not impede maintenance
vehicles or emergency vehicles.

Questionnaires were delivered to each property fronting the study roadway. Through
the questionnaire, property owners/managers had an opportunity to comment on the
type of parking control that would most benefit their situation. The minimum criterion
requires at least 60% of the person petitioned to respond to the questionnaires
delivered. A total of six (6) properties were petitioned, of which five (5) questionnaires
were returned, representing a 83% response rate. The questionnaire results are as
follows:
, Maintain the existing parking controls: 2 (33%)
, Install "no parking"controls (on both sides): 3 (50%)
, Install "no parking"controls from Monday to Friday, 8-4: 0 ( 0%)
. Install "no stopping" controls: 0 ( 0%)
. Install "no stopping" controls from Monday to Friday, 8-4: 0 ( 0%)
. I'Jo response 1 (17%)
Niagara Transit staff were also solicited for comments. Their preference was to install a
"no parking" restriction on the east side of Pin Oak Drive to prevent trucks from being
parked near the southern driveway. Taking this response into account, the majority of
respondents are in favour of implementing some kind of parking restriction on Pin Oak
Drive.
Based on the study results and questionnaire responses from Pin Oak Drive, it is
recommended that a "no parking" restriction be implemented on the east side of Pin
Oak Drive between a point 310 metres south of McLeod Road and a point 450 metres
south of McLeod Road. The recommended restriction will ensure a clear zone is
present for transit drivers exiting the southernmost access to Niagara Square Mall via
Pin Oak Drive.

Re: BBS~2007-0S
5125 Montrose Road, Shoppers Drug Mart - Sign Variance
RECOMMENDATION:
That the sign variance be approved provided that the north facade signs are not illuminated
as outlined in this report.
BACKGROUND:
The owners of the new Shoppers Drug Mart store, currently under construction at the south
west corner of Montrose Road and Preakness Street, is seeking relief from the
requirements of the Sign BY-law to permit oversized wail signs on three sides (north, east
and south) of the building, along with an increase in the maximum allowable number cf
signs. The By-law permits wall signs equal to 25% of the wall area up to a maximum of 'j 50
sq. ft. and a maximum of six (6) signs. The proposed signs for each wall are 220 sq., ft. and
are well below the 25% wai! area. It should be noted that the "draft" Sign By-law has no
maximum square foot requirements just the wall area percentage. The owners are aiso
proposing a total of nine signs for the building, whereas the By-law permits a maximum of
six. The three (3) additional signs will be piaced, one on each of the three walis and are
reasonably small, being approximately 39 sq, ft. each. The proposed signage is in keeping
with their national advertising program and has little impact on the neighbourhood.
Planning Department Comments
1. The request for additional area and number of signs appears to be minor in nature
and in keeping with the design of the building.
~ The additional area and number of signs appears to be appropriate for the
L.
development given the size of the building and the exposure to Montrose Road,
However, the use of illumination on the north wall sign is of concern due to the
presence of the Townhouses on the opposite side of Preakness Street The signs
on this facade should not be illuminated so as to reduce the impacts on the
residents.

3. The request for additional area is in keeping with the provisions ofthe draft Sign By-
law.
4. The subject lands are designated Residential in the Official Plan. Neighbourhood
Commercial developments are to be designed such that they are compatible with
the surrounding residential land uses due to the close proximity of the latter.
Because of this, the draft Official Plan policies for signage speak to the need for
controls on signs due to potential impacts. As noted above, while the request for
additional area and number of signs is reasonable, the illumination of the signs on
the north facade may result in negative impacts for the residents living opposite the
site on Preakness Street.
In summary, the Planning staff has no objections to the request subject to the signs on the
north facade of the building not being illuminated. Shoppers Drug Mart has agreed to not
illuminate the north facade sign as per attached email.

Hi John,
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you earlier. I am confirming our
conversation of last week that Shoppers Drug Mart will not be
illuminating the signs on the North Elevation. -
Should you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,

As discussed could you please send me an email confirming Shoppers
reconsideration to not illuminate the sign on the North Side so that I
can complete my report and have it placed on the agenda for the next
Council meeting which will be Monday May 14 07. I have held off on
polling the residents in anticipation of your email.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards
J Castrilli
