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

Dear Council:

The reason we are writing to you today is in regards to the new development plans that have been prepared by Ankenman Marchand Architects. We would personally like to extend our full, enthusiastic support for this new development.

The building itself is absolutely beautiful by design but furthermore, if we may say so, a necessary addition to our town. We have so much potential here to grow and expand and we believe this new development is the perfect first step in the right direction. It has the potential to be a central "downtown" for us here in View Royal, and with this said, both myself, and my partner pledge our full endorsement of this project. This development looks amazing and is just what View Royal needs. View Royal's need for growth aside, the aesthetic of the buildings exterior is breathtaking. We think that a 4 story building is a great and the architecture of the top floors is captivating. With having a plaza central to the building itself will be a huge asset for residents in the surrounding areas.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. All the best.
