3 Development Proposal The proposed development, Lovett Lake Estates, is a low-medium density residential development of 306 units comprised of quality single-unit, semi-detached and townhouse dwellings. The development proposal also includes a 0.87 acre local commercial component at the entrance to the development off St. Margaret’s Bay Road. The commercial component shown will include local commercial uses (C-1) as enabled within the CDD zone. The development proposal and attached concept plan, shows the maximum potential development build-out capacity with respect to the proposed density cap of 20.0 PPA (described in section 3.3 of this report). Lovett Lake Estates will be located next to a major retail centre, enabling residents to meet their day-today needs at a local scale and potentially place them within proximity of employment. The development is also located along the DNR multi-use trail, enabling residents to be close to a major active transportation and recreation corridor. Parkland plays a significant role in this development, providing local recreation opportunities, amenity value and pedestrian and active transportation connections. Access to Lovett Lake Estates will be provided from by a 16.0m wide right-of-way (ROW) extending off St. Margret’s Bay Road to the west of Sheppards Run. A potential future second connection across PIDs # 40049777 and 40507725 has been shown on the concept plan at the south east end of the subject lands. For additional details on access and traffic, please refer to section 3.5 of this report. 3.1 Proposed Residential Component The proposed residential development of 306 total units consists of a minimum of 155 single-unit which accounts for 51% of the total housing mix, which is in accordance with TLB MPS’s suggested general housing mix target within the Comprehensive Development Districts. The remaining units will be a mixture of semi-detached and townhouse dwellings. The overall density cap proposed for the development is 20 persons per acre (see section 3.3 on population density). As shown on the attached elevations of possible home design options, typical dwellings will be twostories. Specific designs will respond to the character and capacity of the individual lots. Exterior façade finishes will include vinyl siding, window pediments and asphalt shingles. Decorative pillars will be incorporated into the façade where appropriate. The housing types proposed target entry level as well as second time home buyers.
