Barf.

One thing that should at least be changed is the location of the proposed stormwater pond. A transit station is planned for the 417 & Huntmar; having the stormwater pond at the east of the site makes any attempt at future intensification next to impossible.

The pond should be moved to the southwest corner where it would at least be outside of the 400m radius of the transit station.

I submitted the following comment using the Development Application Search tool:

This proposal is pretty much the exact opposite of the finely grained urban pattern envisioned by the Kanata West Concept Plan.

However since this is likely to be approved anyway, one thing that should at least be changed is the location of the proposed stormwater pond. A transit station is planned for the 417 & Huntmar; having the stormwater pond at the east of the site makes any attempt at future intensification next to impossible and forces any development to be further from the station.

The pond should be moved to the southwest corner where it would at least be outside of the 400m radius of the transit station. If possible, the shopping centre buildings should be moved further east to enable the majority of the parking to be on the west side, away from the future residential community east of Huntmar.

The owners should also be required to construct high quality pedestrian linkages between the development and the future station, including a pedestrian bridge over highway 417 if appropriate.

The Plan of Subdivision application will facilitate the creation of three development blocks for the retail outlet mall, restaurants, and the hotel; 15 blocks for the office/industrial park; and three preservation blocks for the Feedmill Creek Corridor. Three new public streets will be created as well.
