PUBLIC QUESTION PERIOD - 15 Minute Limit 

Candace Chang and Sat Brar, residents asked the following question(s) in relation to item 10.1:

1. What are the city by-laws for construction start and end times during a day and what is the process if these times are not adhered to?
   John Dunlop, Manager, Indigenous Relations, Heritage and Museums advised that the questions were not related to the Heritage Impact Study but advised the residents that the standard noise by-law permits construction from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m with the exception of Sunday and that any violation of this noise by-law should be reported to 311 for investigation by a By-law officer.
   
   
2. What were the results of the traffic study and what day was it conducted? Can we please get a copy?
   Mr. Dunlop advised that this is a site plan and would not require a traffic study.  The study submitted is an access study to show access for emergency services not a typical traffic study and that the City cannot require one for this site plan.
   
   
3. How far will the building be from the fence line of the residents and how far will the public spaces around the building be from the fence line of the residents?
   Mr. Dunlop advised that the building would be 48.4 m from the fence line.
   
   
4. Is the university planning on cutting down any more trees between the new proposed area and the residents?
   Mr. Dunlop advised that the University would not cut down any more tress between the proposed building footprint and local residents and that if more trees are cut down, the City's tree by-law would come into effect requiring permits.  Mr. Dunlop further advised that residents could contact 311 if trees are cut down without permits.
