The long-awaited
development of the 4.35 acre
parcel of land on the north
side of Lakeshore Road West
in Clarkson east of the Dairy
Queen is proceeding through
city planning and approval
processes.
The owner of the property,
VanDyk group of companies,
is proposing to build a 324-
unit condominium complex
with a Frank Lloyd Wright
design motif. The structure
will be four stories at the
west end of the property and
six stories at the east-end,
yet will have a continuous
roof-line due to the slope of
the property.
The three-story steel
skeleton at the west-end of
the site will serve as the sales
office for the project and will
then be converted into
professional and office space.
VanDyk have proposed
including about 9.000 ft2 of
mixed use commercial space
on the ground floor of the
condominium’s west wing.
Citizen concerns about
traffic from the building and
the commercial spaces may
result in the withdrawal of
this commercial area.
VanDyk is proposing to build
178 one-bedroom units and
146 two-bedroom units.
Underground parking for 435
cars will be provided as well
as 45 surface spaces.
Access to the underground
parking will be provided at
both the east and west ends
of the building. Traffic
consultants have stated that
there should be no serious
problems for cars turning left
or right onto Lakeshore from
these access routes.
Considerable public
consultation has taken place
to date. VanDyk conducted
an open house at Lorne Park
Secondary School in January
2013. Ward 2 Councillor Pat
Mullin held a community
meeting on the project on
Feb. 26th, 2013 and a Focus
Group on Mar. 21st, 2013.
Mississauga’s Planning
Department presented a full
report to the city’s Planning
and Development Committee
at an open meeting at City
Hall on May 27th, 2013 at
which several residents spoke.
Councillor Mullin is planning
another public meeting this
fall before the final report is
presented to City Council for
approval.

This development is still proceeding through its approval process with the City of Mississauga and external agencies. There have been many “open houses” and “public meetings” held this year and the Association has
attended most of these. The launch date or grand opening for sales is estimated to be in early/late
summer 2014, subject to securing the required planning approvals issued on behalf of the City and
Governmental agencies. I encourage you to visit their website www.clarksonvillagerezoning.ca for more information and great illustrations of the future development plus an excellent information portal that showcases their vision and inspiration for the redevelopment of the Clarkson lands. We thank and complement the VANDYK group of companies, especially Mark DeSousa, for their cooperation and open dialogue as they proceed to bring this new development to Clarkson.

Hydro One is preparing its routine vegetation maintenance plan for the transmission
corridor between Oakville TS and Manby TS, which goes through our area. Their
integrated vegetation management program involves selectively removing brush and
trimming or removing trees that have the potential to interfere with the safe and reliable
operation of high-voltage transmission lines.

Directors from the Whiteoaks Lorne Park Community Association attended the June 4th,
2013 Mississauga City Council meeting where we are pleased to report that the following
motion was passed:

The Credit River Bridge Rehabilitation work has continued this year and technical
complications continue to cause unexpected delays and engineering challenges.
One of the final steps is the replacement of the expansion joints with new
technology that will reduce the noise of vehicle traffic. There will not be any
daytime lane closures. Friday nights will be added to the work schedule to maintain
a November 30th, 2013 completion date.
QEW Credit River Bridge Rehabilitation By Doug House
“There will not
be any daytime
lane closures.
Friday nights will
be added to the
work schedule
to maintain a

date.”

Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study
This study is for the
future replacement of the
QEW Credit River
Bridge. The future plan
calls for twin bridges over
the Credit River, One
new bridge and then a
reconstruction of the old
bridge. The Assessment
Study recommends a
North Twinning location. Extensive details are
available on the website
www.qewcreditriverea.ca
and click “Study” for a full
list of all the reports, “Chapter 6” has a
complete analysis of the
alternate configurations
and the explanation of
how each choice was
made. Residents who use
the Mississauga Rd. access
to the QEW may be
interested in the future
layout for merge lanes
and traffic control lights,
starting on page 47 of
the .pdf document. I found the
“Recommended Plan
(June 2013)” has an
excellent detail map of
the future highway
configuration. Two other QEW reports
that may be of interest
are “Transportation
Environmental Study
Report-Highway 403 and
Queen Elizabeth Way
Improvements –Trafalgar
Road to Winston
Churchill Boulevard” and
“QEW Improvements
from Evans Avenue to
Cawthra Road”. Both
are well documented on
the internet.

court orders including fines, and
the cost for the City to replace
boarded up sections with
windows, doors or remediation of
the property by a contractor
retained by the City with all
associated costs added to the
property tax roll.
Moving forward, City staff will now re-inspect any properties
previously ordered boarded.
Properties where City staff
determines that the remediation
is significant are subject to a
review process. The area Ward
Councillor will be informed of the
action being taken. New property
complaints concerning violations
under the by-law will be
investigated and subject to the
same enforcement practices. Heritage designated properties
are exempt from the new provision of the by-law. City of
Mississauga owned properties and heritage listed properties
are not exempt.

Deficiencies Related to Boarded Buildings.”
