Located on a triangular parcel near the intersection of Yonge Street and Mapleview Drive in the City of Barrie, this property is situated immediately south of the Barrie GO Station. The plan for this commercial plaza includes constructing three separate buildings to house new businesses and services for the community. The layout also features plenty of parking for customers and a designated area for garbage collection. To keep traffic flowing smoothly and safely, the driveways are designed for easy “right-in, right-out” access from both Yonge Street and St. Paul’s Crescent.
Design Plan Services Inc. was retained to provide expert land use opinion evidence at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) (now known as the Ontario Land Tribunal) following an appeal regarding the site plan application. Principal TJ Cieciura testified that the proposed development represented good planning. The Tribunal adopted this opinion, successfully approving the site plan and building elevations in April 2018.
