Landscape Plan would provide a new sidewalk on Glen Everest, but is generally uninspired.
Trees are all placed between the building and the sidewalk, rather than the sidewalk and the road (or both).
Baring utility conflicts, I disagree with this choice.
Trees would afford a buffer between a busy road and the sidewalk on Kingston Rd; while on Glen Everest, the sun and prevailing winds will likely come from the south and south-west and would be better mitigated by placing trees adjacent to the curb for pedestrians.

No park is indicated.
Since the site is 60,000ft2, the City will be owed 6,000ft2 off-site.
While the area isn't short of parks, its waterfront parks are disconnected as illustrated by this map view:
Given the series of Kingston Road developments, it would make sense to group their park funds together and purchase homes adjacent to Rosetta McClain Gardens which is one of the City's nicest parks; and is very heavily utilized.
The purchase(s) should focus on creating a functional link to adjacent parks.
The homes along Wynnview separate Rosetta McClain from Scarborough Heights Park.
While tempting, they wouldn't be my first target, because to maximize the gain, would requiring removing the road, this means buying all of the homes, more or less, or at least several continguous ones from the southern extent of the street.:
View of Wynnview Ct:
I'd be more tempted to go after the homes on Lakehurst, on the south side if that was feasible. As they are directly adjacent to Rosetta; and to the next City Park Property to the east known as the Harrison Properties.
