North Humber Extension Neighbourhood
TYLin was retained by landowners within the North Humber Extension area to undertake studies and complete analyses to establish the functional and detailed designs for a proposed residential development.
The site was recognized as an opportunity to undertake a pilot project that would study the implementation of Low Impact Development measures. The stormwater management strategy being proposed is based on implementing distributed low impact source and conveyance measures in lieu of traditional storm sewers and a water quality treatment stormwater management pond. Stormwater quantity control is not required due to the proximity of the site to the Humber River. Stormwater management for the Greenfield residential development is proposed via Low Impact Development measures within the ROW.
The project included preparation of a Low Impact Development study to assess measures suitable for the site conditions. From a servicing perspective, the distinctive feature of this development is the non-standard ROW which will provide within the boulevard all of the mandatory stormwater treatment, meet all of the water balance requirements, and meet the City of Vaughan design criteria for drainage management.
