Re: Westurban Developments’ Application – 9 Erskine Lane

I am following up with respect to our family letter submitted prior to the September 15, 2020 View Royal meeting.

Again, I appreciate that change is difficult and that there will be disruption to the neighbours when this project gets underway. Again, we have certainly had our share of change and disruption over the years; with the building of the hospital, Watkiss Way road improvement project, 14 Erskine Lane Townhouse development and the development of Stone Ridge.

Westurban Developments have listened to the Mayor and Council of View Royal as well as the neighbours and have addressed their concerns extensively and completely in their new application. The building envelope has been reduced, majority of trees remaining, safety concerns addressed, and community amenities provided.

Westurban Developments have been extremely accommodating, giving the neighbours numerous opportunities to voice their opinions and concerns. Although I’m sure there will always be a few who will never be happy, they have addressed every issue and/or concern brought forward. This development has been well thought out and is community minded. It will be providing more community amenities than most other developments in View Royal in recent years and takes up less land mass based on total area.

This property has been in the development permit area in View Royal’s Official Community plan since the beginning and provides much needed and necessary housing in a prime location close to the hospital and easy access to the Trans Canada Highway.

Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,

Gordon Adams 9 Erskine Lane
