Thank you to the committee for all of your hard work and time. The issues are clear. The proposed development doesn't follow the city guidelines and bi laws. High density housing will create traffic and safety problems if not properly managed.

Please keep me informed. Thanks

I have signed the petition because I believe due process is to make sure the entire neighbourhood has say in the proposed developments. The high density for the area of the townhouses is a concern to me. I would also like to know who are the representatives of Chicopee Concerned Neighbours Association as there was no contact information on the flyer.

Carleen Nickeo - there was a letter sent I believe last summer about the proposed development. If anyone had questions they could call the city, which I did. I was told there was an application put in for 68 units, however it was not confirmed the style of the housing be it townhouses, or similar to what is across from Stanley Park mall with 2 units up, and 2 units down. They did indicate that development would start this year at some point. Cook Homes was noted on the bottom of the letter I believe.

I am undecided on signing at this time. However I wanted to comment as well with respect to the information provided. I appreciate the concerns noted but: 1) rest assured if there is a concern for chemicals etc. Cook Homes will discover this once they proceed and they will need to take the necessary steps to clean the soil or whatever the case may be. They will not be allowed to proceed without doing so. 2) In case you haven't notice the houses are already in disrepair therefore any asbestos present would have already been released, but again, there are steps in place to ensure the removal of these items are done so in such a way as to not cause harm to the actual people removing them. While there may be access to some of the information, it is too early for there to be any presumptions on what steps are going to be taken in the future, there is still time for permits to be filed. Yes the property is zoned for building no more than 3 story however the application may not reflect that. As for this type of 'high density' housing, there is such housing existing in our neighbourhood, on Morrison. To call it completely out of character is a bit of a stretch. In addition, I am not opposed to King and Morrison being closed. It was closed once before - years ago, and the way cars speed up the hill and around the bend is simply an accident waiting to happen. We already have considerable traffic between the Church and Chicopee Ski Hill. In all actuality the proposed French school has been rumoured for years. There appears to have been a lot of thought and effort put into this brochure but I would have preferred seeing fact based bullets. The property at the end of Morrison has been for sale for a couple of years. Yes it is zoned to be developed if the person who purchases it chooses to do, it does not necessarily mean that it will be. LRT is inevitable.

The proposed high density population, and resulting traffic issues are a major concern. Additionally, Phase 2 of the LRT planning process will likely proceed regardless. However statements regarding Environmental concerns appear subjective. Are these statements of fact, supposition, assumption? Has the City of Kitchener Planning Dept. held any public meetings regarding this matter past / future? If so, when / where; and has Cook Homes had an opportunity to respond? If you have this information please post so that concerned citizens can attend any future meetings. I look forward to your reply.

I will sign the petition, however I would like more information about Cook Homes Morrison /King St E project. Specifically I would like to know where / how the association obtained their information. Not for dispute purposes; but for clarification of facts. I personally did a lot of searching for Cook Homes and also their numbered company (1353843 Ontario Limited)
