Letter of Support - Cayle Ratcliff

May 19th, 2020 View Royal Town Hall 45 View Royal Ave, Victoria, BC V9B 1A6

Attention: Mayor and Council Re: 298 Island Highway, Victoria. B.C.

Dear Council:

I am writing to you to express my full support for the development plans that have been prepared by Ankenman Marchand Architects for the corner of Helmcken & Old Island Hwy.

I must to say this development looks amazing and is just what View Royal needs. The aesthetic look of the building is beautiful and the way the building looks like a 4 story building, with the top two floors setback, is stunning. The Developers attention to detail is clear and the use of wood elements around the base of the building and around its façade that gives it a true West Coast & View Royal look. I also really appreciate all the design work that has gone into the fronts and sides of the building - the ideas for signage, the custom canopies that will provide protection from the rain, and the plaza in front!

This could be an amazing meeting place and create a downtown core for us in View Royal. This is exactly what our town needs and I therefore offer my full support as this project moves ahead.

Thank you for listening!!
