Citizens for Managed Development at Loafers Lake (CfMDaLL) Pages

A Task Force interested in the High-Rise Development Project in Heartlake 

Page 5

Alternative Strategies

The Task Force is working on behalf of the Community to introduce an alternative strategy to the Developer. 

With input to date, we view the current Proposal as questionable for the following reasons:

 

Number and height of buildings; too dense for this area and too high, tallest building in Brampton, nothing like this in HL Area
The City wants intensification around the Queen Street Corridor
Will severely negatively impact the already existing traffic flow and safety problems around the area
That there is some Environmental impact on Loafers Lake and Green Space
Concerns related to high-population density
Pressure on existing Services and Infrastructure

 

Initial Recommendations for this Site

Option 1 – Do Nothing/Extend Park

• We realize that all would love this idea, however, based on the Growth Projections and Strategies from the Province and City, unfortunately this may not a realistic view.  What about the “land swap” idea? Can the City “buy back” this site (other property sites, incentives, etc.) and merge with Loafers Lake Park/use to expand Recreation Center and Library?

Option 2 – All Condominium Townhouses

We like the “urban” design of the Townhouses.  Why not fill the entire site with these?  While still providing underground parking (though probably not as deep as 4-storey) and maintaining green space ratio of 51%, could build approximately 150 – 200 of these Units, with or without the private Amenity Facility.
