Please help us stop the proposal by Hawk Ridge Homes to build 18 townhouse units on two single-home residential lots at 173-177 Dundas St E in Waterdown. If you are a Waterdown resident who shares our concerns, please sign this petition, thank you!

We are opposed to this proposal for the following reasons:

• this is a single-home residential area which is reflected in the current zoning
• the building lot is at the top of a hill which will create issues with water runoff, loss of privacy and loss of sunlight to the adjacent homes
• the front block of 8 units will be 3-stories high with rooftop terraces which will tower over the surrounding homes, particularly the small bungalow at 181 Dundas Street
• it will create noise from parking, snow blowers, lawn mowers, air conditioning units etc. which will detract from the surrounding residents being able to enjoy their properties
• it sets a precedent for future similar developments in this area on single-home lots
• the driveway is too close to the busy Dundas/Riley intersection which creates traffic safety issues for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, especially those using the crosswalk to get to schools, parks and the library
• it will reduce property values of the adjacent homes
• the developer plans to increase the elevation at the back of the property by 2 metres. This portion of the property is already 2 metres above the adjacent backyards on Riley and Scott streets which will result in the 10 townhouse units at the back of the property being built 4 metres higher than the surrounding homes.
