Tree Preservation

  • Reduced footprint and increased depth of u/g parking - now with two full levels
  • Retaining more trees than previous concept: new site plan retains 146 trees (18 municipal trees, 125 onsite trees plus 3 trees with shared ownership)
  • 3x increase in amount retained trees
  • Replacing 43 removed trees at 2:1 ratio: full landscape plan at DP stage

Building Siting

  • Avoided key tree preservation areas, with more retained tree canopy to support passive cooling, shade preservation, neighbourhood character
  • Increased setback from Island Highway: from 6 m to 8+ m, and reduced the frontage
  • Increased setback from Heddle Trail: from 8 m to 8.5+ m, and reduced the frontage
  • Reduced building lengths fronting neighbouring properties
