Hello

I write this in support of the community group Your Voice who have been advocating for area residents near helmcken and Burnside. I signed the original petition in may 2019 and have been watching the process move forward. I support redevelopment of the property in principle but with a few caveats:

1. i do not support a massive condo complex that moonscapes the property and stuffs in as many units as possible and in so doing changes the nature of the area irrevocably.
2. i do not support a money grab by the developer through constructing a low cost standard building that will exist as an eyesore for 60 to 100 years.
3. We have chance to preserve some of the green space and mature trees on the single family property if it is to be rezoned this should be mandatory. It makes sense that a green space would be available for the residents of the new development. We are supposed to be preserving the urban forest to combat climate change not logging it.
4. we have a chance to build to future energy efficiency and carbon footprint standards while making the final structures sustainable in use and in appearance. - due to its placement next to a rural area. This means the structure should fit in with other buildings and neighbourhoods and not look like it was dropped there by mistake. Perhaps some renewable energy component?
5. the long term sustainability and livability of the structure as it relates to its occupants and its neighbours should be of paramount importance
6. we have a large multiple building condo complex at eagle creek..we don't need another one ...especially adjacent to a rural farming community.

Thanks for your consideration.
