RE: Proposed Rental Unit Development on 9 Erskine Lane
As neighbours living directly opposite the proposed development by WestUrban Developments Ltd on Erskine Lane, we have added our names to the petitioners opposing this project.
The five and six storey rental units as presented by this company are far more suited for an established densely populated urban area rather than a quiet, dead end lane. 9 Erskine Lane is a beautifully forested parcel of land that could become home to desirable housing developments, respectful of the topography, protected trees and land on this site.
The height of these proposed buildings, density per acre, and over-all enormity of this project is unanimously unacceptable to our neighbourhood and will be strongly opposed. It goes without question that the volume of traffic would create chaos along Watkiss Way, Erskine Lane and Stonridge. There is already congestion around the Eagle Creek roundabout in the morning work traffic and afternoon hospital shift changes after 4 p.m.
We implore the council to reject this proposal by WestUrban Developments Ltd at the upcoming Council Hearing on September 15, 2020.
Sincerely Marion Niven
