1767 Baseline Rd | 20m | 5f | Proposed

[rocketphish]

Phoenix Homes is proposing the development of a five-storey, mid-rise apartment building at 1773 and 1767 Baseline Road, having 40 units, with a mix of one- to three-bedroom units.

As part of the proposal, 14 parking spaces (12 residential and two visitor spaces) are proposed to be located within a below-grade parking lot accessible from Baseline Road to a ramp at the western edge of the building. There are 27 bicycle parking spaces located within underground parking lot, with a further 13 covered bicycle parking spaces in the rear yard, for a total of 40 spaces, or 1 space per dwelling unit.

An outdoor amenity area is proposed in the rear yard, accessible via a concrete walkway extending from the front of the site along the eastern property line. The rear yard amenity area, totaling 168 square metres, provides additional landscaped open space for residents and visitors to enjoy. An additional 116 square metres of private amenity space is provided through the units’ balconies and terraces.

Am I reading that correctly? A two-way parking ramp that necks down to only 3 metres wide?

Is this next door to the notorious "4 holes"?

I think that the proper name is "The Four Winds", but yes, it is next door. This will provide additional housing for Algonquin students - if they have any courses left by the time this construction is done.

For 14 parking spaces that seems reasonable. The chance that two vehicles need to pass on the ramp is slim, and there's usually a mirror in the corner so you can check before entering/exiting.

The mouth of the ramp, at Baseline Road, is still only 4 metres - so there is no passing on that ramp's length. If an ascending car checks the mirror at the bottom and sees that the ramp is clear, it can turn onto the ramp and begin going up. Then a car turns in off of Baseline. The roadway traffic effectively prevents that car from easily backing back out onto the roadway.

Mirrors are good for seeing if there is someone on the ramp at a specific time, but they can not foretell the future.

Seems like a nice little project. I'm calling shenanigans on a bus being around though.
