subject to the installation of a retaining wall and the applicant filing a site plan application.
These conditions have been satisfied and the variances are now in effect.

All departments have submitted comments indicating that they have no further
objections to the proposed development at 4002 Dundas Street West. Through minor
revisions to the proposed plans, all outstanding concerns have been addressed and
satisfied.

The proposed site plan application addresses all department concerns as a result of
the site plan circulation process. As all technical and substantive issues have been
satisfied, it is recommended that the site plan be approved subject to the conditions
outlined in the attached Statement of Approval, which includes posting of financial
securities to guarantee completion of the landscaped works and cash payment in lieu
of parkland dedication.
