Site History and Existing Uses
Hully Gully has been an established business in London since 1986. With an increased need to
carry more products to meet the client’s needs, Hully Gully, The Ultimate Toy Store moved to
its current location at 1705 Wharncliffe Rd in 2001.
The Building currently occupied at 1705 Wharncliffe was originally built as a Cashway Building
Center in 1988.
This building was ideal for Randy and Audrey Collins business expansion. The existing open
concept design allowed for large “showroom” displays of products, while the existing lumber
yard served as secure storage area for new and used “toys”.

Urban Design Policies
A review of the applicable Urban Design Policies in section 4.8 and 11.1.1 of the City of London
Official Plan is provided.
4.8 Urban Design Objectives – Wonderland Road Community Enterprise Corridor
•
The Wonderland Road Community Enterprise Corridor is intended to provide a wide range
of uses. Include in the list is large scale commercial, which is the intention of Hully Gully.
The addition does not have any impact on the Wonderland Rd street scape, as it is
orientated to the south east proportion of the site, adjacent to Wharncliffe Rd. The
addition is designed to blend in with the existing development.
11.1 Design Principles
Natural Features:
Currently there are no river valleys, ravines, wooded area or parklands in
the immediate area. Storm water management is designed to utilize the
existing site services.
Trees:
The proposed addition will be installed on land that was formally used for
parking and storage. There are few trees that will be in conflict with the
addition location and new laneway (Wonderland Rd). These trees will be
re-located to new locations with the site.
Open Views:
The proposed structure has been designed to match the heights of the
existing building. Both the addition and the existing structure are set
back from the property which allows views to remain undisturbed along
the street scape.
Architectural:
Continuity
The proposed addition has been designed to blend into the existing
structure. The intent is to have a finished product that appears a one
mass. Neighbouring buildings to the North (LTC Satellite) and East
(Tracker Boat Centre) are both designed as large mass facilities. The
exception is the building immediately East (previously seven dwarfs); this
structure has been condemned with potential for future demolition, and
should not have any influence on architectural continuity.
Redevelopment:
The current development located on 1705 Wharncliffe Rd has had many
years of success at this location, and redevelopment of the property is
8

1705 Wharncliffe Road – Hully Gully

not intended. An addition to the current development will allow this
local business to continue to serve the City of London.
Streetscape:
The existing street scape will remain unchanged, as the addition does not
project past the existing façade location. The addition has been designed
to emulate the existing angle of Wharncliffe Rd.
Pedestrian Traffic:
Area
All pedestrian traffic is internal currently on this site. Wonderland Rd
and Wharncliffe Rd. is a vehicle-oriented corridor. There are currently no
sidewalks. Pedestrian travel is therefore not encouraged, so pedestrian
features are not applicable.
Landscaping:
There is a very minimal amount of landscaping alterations being
proposed. The existing vehicle entrances at Wharncliffe Rd will be
utilized for the addition. Armor stones will be added along the property
line adjacent to Wharncliffe Rd, and to the east of the existing driveway.
This is intended to provide a screen between the parking and the public
street. The existing access drive on Wonderland road is being relocated
to the north of the site. Any trees that may cause a conflict with the
addition and laneway will be proposed relocated along the street scape
to further screen the parking area.
Enhances:
Accessibility
Standards
Our proposal has incorporated all Barrier Free standards required in the
2012 OBC.
Parking and:
Loading
Parking and internal circulation has been redesigned to accommodate
the addition.
Waste:
Management
The existing waste management storage bins are located within the
fenced storage compound.
Resource:
Conservation
The addition to 1705 Wharncliffe Rd has been deigned to meet SB-10
energy efficiency standards.

Section 2:
4. Conceptual Design
4.1.
Site Design
The focus of the site design was to successfully provide adequate customer parking, vehicle and
pedestrian circulation, and storage (large merchandise). The main entrance will remain in the
current location; therefore the internal design of the site is based on the building’s functional
use.
See Appendix “A” (L1, SP1, & SP2)
4.2.
Built Form
The built form was designed to blend into the existing elevations. This will be accomplished by
matching existing building heights, materials, and colour selection. The addition is intended to
be an extension of the existing showroom, with the customers entering through the existing
main entrance. A section on the addition was created to mimic the existing entrance on a
smaller scale. This area consists of a glazed overhead door that will be used for new purchase
deliveries (customer pick-up only). The existing entrance is being renovated to create a fresh
appearance to the company image. The current entrance was designed for the original lumber
store.
See Appendix “A” (A1, A2, & A4)
4.3.
Massing and Articulation
The addition complies with all the required municipal setbacks. The building location was
determined based on the location of the existing structure. The height of the addition is
designed to match the existing structure. A feature that mimics the proposed revised entrance
(on a smaller scale) was incorporated into the addition; its intent is to break up the mass of the
addition, while adding architectural articulation.
4.4.
Character and Image
Wonderland Road is designated as an arterial road. Existing development near the site are
primarily highway commercial or light industrial uses. The proposed addition to Hully Gully will
have a character similar to larger buildings located in the business park developments located
in south London. There are no cosmetic changes to the façade facing Wonderland Rd.
14

September 4, 2015
Architectural Treatment
The addition is constructed of materials to match the existing structure; prefinished metal
siding.
South Elevation
4.6.
Lighting
The exterior of the building site will be lit with wall mounted fixtures and pole lighting with
deflectors and lenses so that the lighting will be focussed on the site and have no impact on the
neighbouring sites.
4.7.
Signage
New signage will be installed on the addition and existing structure. The signage is used to
represent the products that are available at Hully Gully. The signs have been integrated in to
the design of the building by placing them on the upper proportion (above the horizontal metal
banding) of the building façade.
4.8.
Servicing
There are a few alterations to the site circulation that are being proposed. The existing vehicle
entrance located on Wharncliffe Rd will be utilized for customer service. Vehicular circulation
has been re-designed to accommodate the addition.
The building will continue to be serviced by the existing loading doors at the rear (north) of the
building for deliveries.
The existing barrier free access to the main entrance is to be maintained, and access to the
addition by the public will be internal only.
Two bus routes are located in walking distance to the site, but have limited availability in stop
times and days.
Bicycle racks will be provide for the use of customers.
Garbage and recycling will be store in the enclosed rear storage yard, not visible to the public.

September 4, 2015
5. Public Realm
As mentioned previously Wonderland Road is designated as an arterial road. Existing
development near the site are primarily highway commercial or light industrial uses currently.
As this area begins to re-develop and have a more pedestrian friendly access, Hully Gully will
add the required features that will benefit increased pedestrian traffic. Currently there is a
storage yard adjacent to the existing structure (location of proposed addition). Due to the
location of the addition, the storage is being condensed to the rear yard only. The addition will
provide a screen to the storage yard from Wharncliffe Rd.
6. Sustainability Techniques
The proposed addition will incorporate current energy saving techniques that are in accordance
with the Building Code and are cost-effective. The addition will meet the required SB-10 energy
standards for London, Ontario.
