Very concerned with the impact on the environment and habitat for birds. Collingwood roads are getting too congested now without this new development!!

I have great concern about traffic implications, lack of outdoor recreation facilities for for the residents of The Glow, and the pressure this will create on the privacy of LHP residents. Added to the development on the South Side of # 26 access to # 26 will become difficult.

Extreme hyper urbanization of this sort is ill-conceived, grossly unreasonable and completely inconsistent with the nature and character of Collingwood.

The area does not have the infrastructure to support this - access to lights, road safety, green and shoreline space. And we need to show more respect for our natural habitat- woods and wetlands than we have. The Skyview clear cut across the street has left many of us quite rattled and frustrated.

I am concerned about the high density of the proposed complex that exceeds the density standards and will cause traffic and environmental issues.

We have a long standing family home of over 35 years on Princeton Shores, and already deal with increased traffic and poor existing infrastructure to support Al of the new development that had happened already in the area, this will only add to this, and no longer keep the quaint charm of the area, which most of us currently there have come to love. We come there to avoid massive cities, not make it one too.

Why bother with things like "bylaws" and "election promises" if neither have any meaning when real issues need to be addressed?

A zoning plan amendment to accommodate a multi story higher density project is unfair to all those around it that built properties in accordance with the zoning by-law and who expected future developments to do the same. It is just not fair to change the rules of the game to the detriment of all the player who started the game decades ago.

The proposed amendment to bypass parkland requirements in lieu of a cash payment is not a good look for the Town of Collingwood and sets a dangerous precedent which other developers will seek to take advantage of.
Given this property has little in the way of outdoor amenities (due to space constraints and the environmentally sensitive area), there is a high likelihood that future residents will take matters into their own hands and put the ESA at risk.

I am totally against this development being built as requested by the Developer. It would damage the wetlands and cause congestion.

1. Does the Town council consider the High Density buildings together with the development on the South side of 26 highway?2. Is the Town Council looking for an LHP environment protected area? 3. Since the new development won't have any security will the Town Council issue permission to have LHP becoming a Gated community?

Proposing "cash in lieu" of parkland" allows deep-pocketed builders to circumvent density rules and push, what they consider wasted space on their property, to other areas of the city. Council members should stick to their "election promises"

The requested density change is insane for many reasons. Environmental and traffic safety will be seriously impacted. How will anyone make a safe left turn on to Hwy 26 exiting this development, especially on a long weekend. Not possible!

Extreme high density inevitability has a negative outcome in most areas… this one in particular because of the environmental status of the area. We have seen over development cripple many cities in terms of access, traffic, and services pushed beyond their maximum capability. We have little industry here..tourism is what keeps us afloat..don’t destroy the area and reduce our opportunity for a steady, sustained growth.
