Case 16666 (Bedford Sub-Area 5 Development Agreement);
I attended the PIM for this planning case earleir tonight. For the most part it was hijacked by landowners on Kearney Lake Road who wanted water service to their lots (not NIMBY's though). Concerns were typical for Bedford, and revolved around buffers and water/sewage plans for the site. Since the planning documents are not online yet I took some photos which I have posted below with descriptions;
1. This is the site plan for the proposal. It consists of three "sections". On the left (north) of the Kearney Lake Connector there will be a 6 storey multi-unit building (50 units) and parkland adjacent to the pond. In the centre (off of the cul-de-sac) there will be highway commercial with buildings from 7'500 to 50'000 square feet in size along with a gas bar. Though no tenants have been finalized the large building does look like a grocery store. On the right (south) side of the area will be two 12-storey multi-unit buildings with 134 units each. There will also be a small picnic park with a lookoff over Kearney Lake and a path around the stormwater retention pond.
2. This is the current community layout plan for the surrounding area. The lands downhill (left/west) of the site are still being designed and will be brought to public review in the next few months. The Sobeys logo is in Hemlock Square.
3. This is the current community layout plans for the West Bedford Business Park and part of Stonington Park. The main point of this photo is to show the approved site for the new high school.
