- most of public amenity areas confined to the middle so no spill over effectss. it is inward looking and spill down to environmental area.
frontages ground oriented go towards lynrick and loseth, looks like a front side look and not back, wanted buffer zone area. good network of pedestrian access.
need to link both sisdes of the trails and make it contigious.

Applicant in Response
- Very careful to abide by all zoning bylaw requirements parking, visitor parking have met all bylaws. Parking should not be an issue for this kind of a parcel. public and private parking a thru the design. garbage setback ,fencing and is necessary to avoid wildlife or such disturbance to adjacent properties. do not expect a problem them at all. safe collection. should be an issue. Maybe creating a bigger screen where garbage enclosed in place.
Golpher Creek have tired to be sensitive to design a space no pollutants of going in. consulted with city staff, there will be a rehabilitation with planting. this will end up being a richer in bio diversity than what it is now. flat area of top dedicated area with steep fall, it will enrich the interface.
