Mayor Screech and Council,
I wish to offer my thoughts on this development which has been, to say the least, a point of contention in our community. Can you imagine 6 story buildings in our neighbourhood with density that is so over the top for "OUR" community I hope not!!!!!!
I attended all the meetings that these folks delivered all of them raising various points of view and I would have to say on the negative……Density being huge, traffic, of course and the presentations in my view were poor and they developers had no real answers for the questions posed. The presentation at Strawberry Vale Hall was a great example of how folks felt…….Mr. Foord had no answers for questions that were thrown at him. people are not happy about him or his 3 tower mess.
I couldn't help but notice that his last meeting was held as far away as possible from our community…I wonder why!!!!!!
View Royal has been a nice rural area, we enjoy what our community is and all of neighbours echo the same thought….6 story buildings in a rural area? They say the development complies with the Official Community Plan and reflects a balancing of policy direction as well as community input…where have they been!!!!!
I urge council to consider carefully what these people are proposing. 247 units, why besides making money the density is off the map!!! The developers suggest that they heard us…..I don't think so.
View Royal has recently purchased land just down the street from this proposed development….I don't think council wants to have this piece of land used up as whatever for this development..keep it rural or at least look at something that will offer something for everyone…not 247 units of whatever this is!!!!!
I think people are fed up…these developers don't care about our community, they don't live here! They care about how big they can make this for the on going buck…
I urge you to carefully consider what this is….there so many people who feel very strongly about this situation and you may not hear from them because they feel that council will do whatever they want which is a shame!
If my thoughts mean anything please don't let this thing go forward…we feel strongly enough that I am considering leaving the area should this move ahead……too bad we love View Royal but don't surround us in density, we neither want it or need it!
Many thanks!
Michael and Doreen Barnard
