Developers - Fred, Paul & Peter

  • Currently active:
    • 405 – 485 Marie Place, Lynn Creek
      • Interesting redevelopment at Marie Place (off Crown St east of Mtn Hwy) in the Lynn Creek town Centre. DNV council allowed it to go to first reading at March 29 /2021 council meeting. Eleven single family homes to be replaced by two 6 storey apartments. Unique to the plan is to provide bicycle parking facilities on each floor of both buildings. The same developer owns a large property to the west bordering Mountain Hwy which includes the Dykoff Nursery lands for which they are hoping to get council approval. Mayor Little commented that these projects need wider support from the community for council to consider them. Those who spoke in favour tended to have a business relationship. HUB NS is aware that without large scale redevelopment Lynn Creek will not see better cycling infrastructure. A HUB member presence might make a difference. The concept of locating bike rooms in upper floors is gaining traction.
      • DNV have now scheduled a public hearing Tuesday November 9th 7pm for both Fairborn proposals - Marie Place and Crown & Mountain redevelopments. The latter is much larger as described in the October 27 NSN article starting page A25.
      • 252 bicycle spaces (exceeding the policy by providing 2 spaces per unit)
      • Bicycle storage provided on each floor for resident convenience and safety
      • Bicycle maintenance room for residents
      • 18 visitor bicycle spaces (located adjacent to the entrance)
      • Electrical charging will be available in all bicycle storages, as well as level 2 charging for all residential parking spaces.
      • There will be new bike lane at the frontage of the site along Crown St which will connect to Mountain Hwy and the district’s cycling network.

DNV Staff agrees that “the bicycle parking proposed, along with the proximity to transit service, will help to support alternate transportation options for residents and visitors to the project.”
