Attachment 2: Letter from David McAllister regarding 221 Atkins Road subdivision
A letter from the developer explaining environmental and social benefits of the proposed subdivision at 221 Atkins Road, including offered amenities.
TR 1.1 Multi-Modal Transportation Systems TR 1.3 Cycling Infrastructure and TR 1.4 Transit Services
- The property is located on an existing multi-modal transportation corridor including transit services
- The property is located in close proximity to the Galloping Goose Trail supporting active transportation options
In addition to the alignment with the Official Community Plan the subdivision would also be beneficial due to the following amenities and improvements that I would be willing to offer:
- Offer of a 2% purchase discount to any existing residents or those they refer prior to publicly listing to enhance neighbourhood community
- Extension of the sanitary sewer system to the boundary with 225 Atkins Road enhancing the integrity of the riparian area by allowing for removal of the septic systems on this and adjacent properties
The substantial benefits of the subdivision to the neighborhood and the Town in terms of enhanced environmental, social and financial responsibility are evident and reinforced by the alignment of the application with the View Royal Official Community Plan as well as the proposed amenities. The feedback received at the initial Committee of the Whole meeting has been incorporated into the revised proposal resulting in reduced density, elimination of variances and retention of additional trees/vegetation.
I would appreciate your thoughtful consideration of this updated application.
Sincerely,
David McAllister
